Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The RealReal, Inc. is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Reference is made to Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the “DGCL”), which enables a corporation in its original certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director for violations of the director’s fiduciary duty, except (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, which provides for liability of directors for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemptions or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Section 145(a) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), because he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor because the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to

 

II-1


be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which he or she shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, he or she is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the adjudicating court shall deem proper.

Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under Section 145 of the DGCL.

We expect that the certificate of incorporation adopted by us prior to the completion of this offering will provide that no director of our company shall be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) in respect of unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases or other distributions pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. In addition, our charter will provide that if the DGCL is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of our company shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

We also expect our charter will further provide that any amendment, repeal or modification of such article unless otherwise required by law will not adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring before such repeal or amendment of a director serving at the time of such repeal or modification.

We expect that our certificate of incorporation adopted by us prior to the completion of this offering, will provide that we shall indemnify each of our directors and executive officers, and shall have power to indemnify our other officers, employees and agents, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as the same may be amended (except that in the case of an amendment, only to the extent that the amendment permits us to provide broader indemnification rights than the DGCL permitted us to provide prior to such the amendment) against any and all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts reasonably paid in settlement that are incurred by the director, officer or such employee or on the director’s, officer’s or employee’s behalf in connection with any threatened, pending or completed proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, to which he or she is or is threatened to be made a party because he or she is or was serving as a director, officer or employee of our company, or at our request as a director, partner, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of our company and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. We expect the certificate of incorporation will further provide for the advancement of expenses to each of our directors and, in the discretion of the board of directors, to certain officers and employees, in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding only upon receipt of an undertaking by such person to repay all amounts advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such person is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses.

In addition, we expect the certificate of incorporation will provide that the right of each of our directors and officers to indemnification and advancement of expenses shall not be exclusive of any other right now possessed or hereafter acquired under any statute, provision of the charter or bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or otherwise. Furthermore, our certificate of incorporation will authorize us to provide insurance for our directors,

 

II-2


officers, employees and agents against any liability, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the DGCL or the bylaws.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and our executive officers. These agreements will provide that we will indemnify each of our directors and such officers to the fullest extent permitted by law and our certificate of incorporation.

We also maintain a general liability insurance policy which covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of our company arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

In any underwriting agreement we will enter into in connection with the sale of the common stock being registered hereby, the underwriters will agree to indemnify, under certain conditions, us, our directors, our officers and persons who control us within the meaning of the Securities Act, against certain liabilities.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Since December 31, 2015, we have issued the following unregistered securities:

Preferred Stock Issuances

In April 2016, we sold an aggregate of 13,586,946 shares of our Series E preferred stock to 23 accredited investors at a purchase price of $2.944 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $40.0 million.

In May 2017, we sold an aggregate of 12,956,724 shares of our Series F preferred stock to two accredited investors at a purchase price of $3.859 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $50.0 million.

In June 2018, we issued an aggregate of 3,065,259 shares of Series G preferred stock to 15 accredited investors, upon conversion of convertible notes at a purchase price of $4.7565 for an aggregate purchase price of $14.6 million. In June and July 2018, we sold an aggregate of 18,921,474 shares of Series G preferred stock to six accredited investors at a purchase price of $5.2850 for an aggregate purchase price of $100.0 million.

In March 2019, we sold an aggregate of 10,182,111 shares of our Series H preferred stock to 15 accredited investors at a purchase price of $6.8748 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $70.0 million.

The preferred stock issuances described above were exempt from registration under the Securities Act (or Regulation D promulgated thereunder) by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. The recipients of the securities in each of these transactions represented their intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were placed upon the stock certificates issued in these transactions. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationships with us, to information about us. The sales of these securities were made without any general solicitation or advertising.

Warrant Issuances

In September 2016, we issued a warrant to purchase 25,597 shares of our Series E preferred stock to Pacific Western Bank in connection with an increase to the outstanding principal under the existing loan and security agreement, as amended, with Square 1 Bank, a division of Pacific Western Bank, at an exercise price of $2.93 per share. The warrant has not been exercised.

In August 2017, we issued a warrant to purchase 45,833 shares of our common stock to an accredited investor in connection with an executive search consulting agreement at an exercise price of $1.34 per share. The warrant has been exercised in full.

 

II-3


Option and RSU Issuances

From December 31, 2015 through the filing date of this registration statement, we granted to our directors, officers, employees, consultants and other service providers options to purchase an aggregate of              shares of our common stock under our equity compensation plans at exercise prices ranging from approximately $1.74 to $3.82 per share.

The option and RSU issuances described above were exempt from registration under the Securities Act under either (1) Rule 701 in that the transactions were under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation as provided under Rule 701 or (2) Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The recipients of such securities were the registrant’s employees, consultants or directors and received the securities under the registrant’s equity compensation plans. The recipients of securities in each of these transactions represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and appropriate legends were affixed to the securities issued in these transactions

Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules

 

  (a)

Exhibits

See the Exhibit Index immediately preceding the signature page hereto for a list of exhibits filed as part of this registration statement on Form S-1, which Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.

 

  (b)

Financial Statement Schedules

Schedules not listed have been omitted because the information required to be set forth therein is not applicable, not material or is shown in the financial statements or notes thereto.

Item 17. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Act”), may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

  (1)

For purposes of determining any liability under the Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

II-4


  (2)

For the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

4.

Optional Conversion.

The holders of Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

 

  4.1

Right to Convert.

 

  4.1.1.

Conversion Ratio. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by

 

16


  dividing the applicable Issue Price by the applicable Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. The “Conversion Price” shall initially mean: (a) with respect to shares of Series H Preferred Stock, $6.8748 (the “Series H Conversion Price”), (b) with respect to shares of Series G Preferred Stock, $5.2850 (the “Series G Conversion Price”), (c) with respect to shares of Series F Preferred Stock, $3.3959 (the “Series F Conversion Price”), (d) with respect to shares of Series E Preferred Stock, $2.9440 (the “Series E Conversion Price”), (e) with respect to shares of Series D Preferred Stock, $2.79239 (the “Series D Conversion Price”), (f) with respect to shares of Series C Preferred Stock, $2.18403 (the “Series C Conversion Price”), (g) with respect to shares of Series B Preferred Stock, $1.025432 (the “Series B Conversion Price”), and (h) with respect to shares of Series A Preferred Stock, $0.48660 (the “Series A Conversion Price”). Such initial Conversion Prices, and the rate at which shares of Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below.

 

  4.1.2.

Termination of Conversion Rights. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or a Deemed Liquidation Event, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to the holders of Preferred Stock.

 

  4.2

Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

 

  4.3

Mechanics of Conversion.

 

  4.3.1.

Notice of Conversion. In order for a holder of Preferred Stock to voluntarily convert shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Preferred Stock (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent), together with written notice that such holder elects to convert all or any number of the shares of the Preferred Stock represented by such certificate or certificates and, if applicable, any event on

 

17


  which such conversion is contingent. Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent (or by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) of such certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) and notice shall be the time of conversion (the “Conversion Time”), and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares represented by such certificate shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time, (i) issue and deliver to such holder of Preferred Stock, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and a certificate for the number (if any) of the shares of Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate that were not converted into Common Stock, (ii) pay in cash such amount as provided in Section 4.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion and (iii) pay all declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock converted.

 

  4.3.2.

Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times when the Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price, Series D Conversion Price, Series E Conversion Price, Series F Conversion Price, Series G Conversion Price or Series H Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock or Series H Preferred Stock, as applicable, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price, Series D Conversion Price, Series E Conversion Price, Series F Conversion Price, Series G Conversion Price or Series H Conversion Price.

 

18


  4.3.3.

Effect of Conversion. All shares of Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor, to receive payment in lieu of any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon such conversion as provided in Section 4.2 and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. Any shares of Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock (and applicable series of Preferred Stock) accordingly.

 

  4.3.4.

No Further Adjustment. Upon any such conversion, no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made for any declared but unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or on the Common Stock delivered upon conversion.

 

  4.3.5.

Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

  4.4.2.

  4.4.3.

Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

 

  (a)

If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series H Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities) or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or

 

21


  exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.

 

  (b)

If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to an applicable Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 4.4.4, are revised as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the applicable Conversion Price computed upon the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no readjustment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have the effect of increasing any applicable Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security, or (ii) the applicable Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock (other than deemed issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security) between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.

 

  (c)

If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities), the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to an applicable Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 4.4.4 (either because the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 4.4.5) of the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than such Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before the Series H Original Issue Date), are revised after the Series H Original Issue Date as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding

 

22


  automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such Option or Convertible Security, as so amended or adjusted, and the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Section 4.4.3(a) shall be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective.

 

  (d)

Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to an applicable Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 4.4.4, the applicable Conversion Price shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such Option or Convertible Security (or portion thereof) never been issued.

 

  (e)

If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, is calculable at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended but is subject to adjustment based upon subsequent events, any adjustment to the applicable Conversion Price provided for in this Section 4.4.3 shall be effected at the time of such issuance or amendment based on such number of shares or amount of consideration without regard to any provisions for subsequent adjustments (and any subsequent adjustments shall be treated as provided in clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 4.4.3). If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, cannot be calculated at all at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended, any adjustment to such Conversion Price that would result under the terms of this Section 4.4.3 at the time of such issuance or amendment shall instead be effected at the time such number of shares and/or amount of consideration is first calculable (even if subject to subsequent adjustments), assuming for purposes of calculating such adjustment to such Conversion Price that such issuance or amendment took place at the time such calculation can first be made.

 

  4.4.4.

Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Series H Original Issue Date issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section

 

23


  4.4.3), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than an applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock, then such Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:

CP2 = CP1* (A + B) ÷ (A + C).

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

 

  (a)

“CP2” shall mean the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately after such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;

 

  (b)

“CP1” shall mean the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;

 

  (c)

“A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options outstanding immediately prior to such issue or upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (including the Preferred Stock) outstanding (assuming exercise of any outstanding Options therefor) immediately prior to such issue);

 

  (d)

“B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Shares of Common Stock had been issued at a price per share equal to CP1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation in respect of such issue by CP1); and

 

  (e)

“C” shall mean the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in such transaction.

 

  4.4.5.

Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 4.4, the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

 

  (a)

Cash and Property: Such consideration shall:

 

  (i)

insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest;

 

  (ii)

insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, including (A) the Series A Director (B) the Series D Director, (C) the Series F Director, and (D) the Series G Director; and

 

24


  (iii)

in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, including (A) the Series A Director (B) the Series D Director, (C) the Series F Director, and (D) the Series G Director.

 

  (b)

Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 4.4.3, relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing

 

  (i)

the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by

 

  (ii)

the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

  4.4.6.

Multiple Closing Dates. In the event the Corporation shall issue on more than one date Additional Shares of Common Stock that are a part of one transaction or a series of related transactions and that would result in an adjustment to an applicable Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 4.4.4 then, upon the final such issuance, such Conversion Price shall be readjusted to give effect to all such issuances as if they occurred on the date of the first such issuance (and without giving effect to any additional adjustments as a result of any such subsequent issuances within such period).

 

  4.5

Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Series H Original Issue Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of

 

25


  Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Series H Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this Section shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

  4.6

Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series H Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

 

  (1)

the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and

 

  (2)

the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (b) that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Preferred Stock simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

 

  4.7

Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series H Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than a distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares

 

26


  of Common Stock) or in other property and the provisions of Section 1 do not apply to such dividend or distribution, then and in each such event the holders of Preferred Stock shall receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

 

  4.8

Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.5, if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by Sections 4.4, 4.6 or 4.7), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 4 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 4 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the applicable Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.8 shall be construed as preventing the holders of Preferred Stock from seeking any appraisal rights to which they are otherwise entitled under the DGCL in connection with a merger triggering an adjustment hereunder, nor shall this Section 4.8 be deemed conclusive evidence of the fair value of the shares of Preferred Stock in any such appraisal proceeding.

 

  4.9

Possible Adjustment of Conversion Price of Series H Preferred Stock. In the event of a Qualified Public Offering (defined in Section 5.1 below) in which the initial price per share to the public for the Company’s Common Stock as set forth in the prospectus for such Qualified Public Offering is less than the Series H Issue Price, then the holders of Series H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to, and the Company shall elect, one of the following: (a) the Series H Conversion Price will be adjusted such that as of immediately prior to the completion of such Qualified Public Offering the value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock will be equal to the aggregate Series H Issue Price of the Series H Preferred Stock, (b) a cash payment will be made to the holders of the Series H Preferred Stock such that the value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock as of immediately prior to the completion of such Qualified Public Offering plus the cash payment will equal one times (1x) the

 

27


  aggregate Series H Issue Price of the Series H Preferred Stock, or (c) any combination thereof. The rights of the Series H Preferred Stock set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall terminate 18 months after the Series H Original Issue Date.

 

  4.10

Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Corporation at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which the Preferred Stock is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock (but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting forth (i) the applicable Conversion Price then in effect, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the conversion of the applicable series of Preferred Stock.

 

  4.11

Notice of Record Date. In the event:

 

  (a)

the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or

 

  (b)

of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation, or any Deemed Liquidation Event; or

 

  (c)

of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation,

then, and in each such case, the Corporation will send or cause to be sent to the holders of the Preferred Stock a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date for such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Preferred Stock and the Common Stock. Such notice shall be sent at least 10 days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.

5.

Mandatory Conversion.

 

  5.1

Trigger Events. Upon either (a) the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public on the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ (National Market) in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, resulting in at least $50,000,000 of net proceeds to the Corporation and a price per share that is at least 1.75 times the Series G Issue Price (Qualified Public Offering) to the Corporation; or (b) the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of the Requisite Holders (the time of such closing or the date and time specified or the time of the event specified in such vote or written consent is referred to herein as the “Mandatory Conversion Time”), (i) all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, at the then effective conversion rate and (ii) such shares may not be reissued by the Corporation; provided, however, that no conversion of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 5.1(b) shall occur without the approval of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock, no conversion of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 5.1(b) shall occur without the approval of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock, and no conversion of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 5.1(b) shall occur without the approval of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock.

 

  5.2

Procedural Requirements. All holders of record of shares of Preferred Stock shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5. Such notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of Preferred Stock shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice. If so required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with respect to the Preferred Stock converted pursuant to Section 5.1, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time (notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender the certificates at or prior to such time), except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the items provided for in the next sentence of this Section 5.2. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Time and the surrender of the certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a

 

29


  certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof, together with cash as provided in Section 4.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion and the payment of any declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock converted. Such converted Preferred Stock shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock accordingly.

 

6.

Redemption.

 

  6.1

Redemption Right. Unless prohibited by Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders, at any time after the five (5) year anniversary of the Series G Original Issue Date, each of (i) PWP Growth Equity Fund II LP and its affiliates and/or (ii) Great Hill Equity Partners V, L.P. and its affiliates (each, a “Redemption Stockholder”) shall have the one-time right, exercisable jointly with the other Redemption Stockholder or independently, as determined by each Redemption Stockholder (such right, the “Redemption Right”) to request the Corporation to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding shares of the Series H Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock and/or Series F Preferred Stock held by such Redemption Stockholder (the “Redemption Stock”), for a per share purchase price equal to the greater of (i) the Series H Issue Price, Series G Issue Price or the Series F Issue Price, plus any Series H Accruing Dividends, Series G Accruing Dividends or Series F Accruing Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, as applicable, and (ii) the Fair Market Value (determined in the manner set forth below) of a single share of Series H Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock, as applicable (with respect to each series, as applicable, the “Redemption Price”), as of the date of the Corporation’s receipt of the written notice requesting redemption of the applicable Redemption Stock (the “Redemption Request”) from such Redemption Stockholder (the “Requesting Redemption Stockholder”); provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, each such share shall continue to accrue dividends in accordance with Section 6.7 until such date as such share is actually redeemed.

 

  6.2

Additional Redemption Right. If a Redemption Request is made, then (i) the Corporation shall promptly following receipt of such Redemption Request send notice of such Redemption Request to GCEV Co-Invest TRR, L.P. and its affiliates (each an “Additional Redemption Stockholder”) and (ii) each Additional Redemption Stockholder shall also thereafter have the one-time right, exercisable jointly with the Redemption Stockholders, and on the same economic terms as the Redemption Stockholders (expressly excluding the rights of the Redemption Stockholders as set forth in Section 6.9 below), to request the Corporation to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding shares of the Series H Preferred Stock held by such Additional Redemption Stockholder for a per share purchase price equal to the Redemption Price, as of the date of the Redemption Request; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, each such share shall continue to accrue dividends in accordance with Section 6.7 until such date as such share is actually redeemed. For clarity, no Additional Redemption Stockholder shall have the right to initiate a Redemption Request.

 

30


  6.3

Redemption Notice. Within twenty (20) days after the first receipt of a Redemption Request, the Corporation shall send written notice of such Redemption Request (the “Redemption Notice”) to all other holders of Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock and Series H Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Series F/G/H Rights Holders”). Each Redemption Notice shall state:

 

  (a)

the number of shares of the Redemption Stock held by the applicable Requesting Redemption Stockholder that the Corporation shall redeem on the Redemption Date specified in the Redemption Notice;

 

  (b)

the estimated Redemption Date (as defined below) and, to the extent that it has been determined or agreed upon, the Redemption Price;

 

  (c)

the date upon which the Series F/G/H Rights Holders’ right to convert such shares terminates (as determined in accordance with Section 4.1); and

 

  (d)

for holders of shares in certificated form, that the holder is to surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, its certificate or certificates representing the shares of stock to be redeemed.

 

  6.4

Coterminous Redemption Right. The Series F/G/H Rights Holders shall have twenty (20) days after the first receipt of the Redemption Notice to exercise a coterminous redemption right with respect to the Series F Preferred Stock, the Series G Preferred Stock and/or Series H Preferred Stock held by such Series F/G/H Rights Holders, with all such shares of Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock and/or Series H Preferred Stock to be redeemed constituting the “Series F/G/H Participating Redemption Stock”. In the event that more than one Redemption Stockholder or Series F/G/H Rights Holder exercises its Redemption Right, the Redemption Stockholders and Series F/G/H Rights Holders shall receive the total Redemption Price, on a pro rata, pari passu basis. All provisions applicable to the Requesting Redemption Stockholder shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such additional holders, including, without limitation, the same Redemption Date and the same Redemption Price, as of such Redemption Date, except for (i) the right of the Redemption Stockholders to request the redemption pursuant to Section 6.1, and (ii) the right to exercise any of the remedies pursuant to Section 6.9, which in each case shall only be exercisable by each Redemption Stockholder. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Corporation does not receive such written notice within the time limitations set forth above with respect to the first Redemption Request received by the Corporation, the applicable shares of Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock and Series H Preferred Stock registered on the books of the Corporation in the name of all Series F/G/H Rights Holders who are not themselves Redemption Stockholders (it being understood that a non-participating Redemption Stockholder shall retain its one-time Redemption Right if not exercised at such time) at the time of the Corporation’s receipt

 

31


  of the first Redemption Request shall thereafter be “Excluded Shares.” Excluded Shares shall not be redeemed or redeemable pursuant to this Section 6 whether on such Redemption Date or thereafter. The redemption of the Redemption Stock and Series F/G/H Participating Redemption Stock, if any, shall occur within twelve (12) months following receipt of the Redemption Request by the Corporation. The Corporation shall apply all of its assets to any such redemption, and to no other corporate purpose, except to the extent prohibited by Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders. For purposes of this Section 6, the “Fair Market Value” of a single share of Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock or Series H Preferred Stock shall be the value of a single share of Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock or Series H Preferred Stock as mutually agreed upon by the Corporation and the Redemption Stockholder(s) that have exercised their Redemption Rights, and, in the event that the parties are unable to reach agreement, by a nationally recognized investment bank reasonably acceptable to each of the Corporation and the Redemption Stockholders (in each case, assuming an arms’ length sale of the Series G Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock, and/or Series H Preferred Stock as applicable, by a willing buyer to a willing seller and without discounts for minority interests, marketability, the inherent lack of liquidity of nonpublic minority interests or similar discounts). The date of the redemption shall be referred to as a “Redemption Date.” On the Redemption Date, the Corporation shall redeem, on a pro rata, pari passu basis in accordance with the number of shares of the Redemption Stock and Series F/G/H Participating Redemption Stock owned by each Redemption Stockholder and Series F/G/H Rights Holders that have exercised the Redemption Right or the coterminous Redemption Right. If on the Redemption Date Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders prevents the Corporation from redeeming all shares of the Redemption Stock and Series F/G/H Participating Redemption Stock to be redeemed, the Corporation shall ratably redeem the maximum number of shares that it may redeem consistent with such law, and shall redeem the remaining shares as soon as it may lawfully do so under such law. From and after the delivery of a Redemption Request, (a) in the event there is more than one Redemption Stockholder exercising the Redemption Right, any action to be taken or decision made pursuant to this Section 6 by such Redemption Stockholders shall be taken or made by the mutual agreement of the Redemption Stockholders, and (b) in the event there is only one Redemption Stockholder exercising the Redemption Right, any action to be taken or decision made pursuant to this Section 6 by such Redemption Stockholder shall be taken or made in the discretion of such Redemption Stockholder, and in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b), such action or decision shall be binding on all other Series F/G/H Rights Holders exercising the coterminous Redemption Right.

 

  6.5

Surrender of Certificates; Payment. On or before the applicable Redemption Date, each holder of shares of the Redemption Stock or Series F/G/H Participating Redemption Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date shall, if a holder of shares in certificated form, surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate)

 

32


  to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof. In the event less than all of the shares of the Redemption Stock or Series F/G/H Participating Redemption Stock represented by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the unredeemed shares of the Redemption Stock or Series F/G/H Participating Redemption Stock shall promptly be issued to such holder.

 

  6.6

Rights Subsequent to Redemption. If the Redemption Notice shall have been duly given, and if on the applicable Redemption Date the Redemption Price payable upon redemption of the shares of the Redemption Stock and Series F/G/H Participating Redemption Stock, if any, to be redeemed on such Redemption Date is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefor in a timely manner, then notwithstanding that any certificates evidencing any of the shares of the Redemption Stock and Series F/G/H Participating Redemption Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, dividends with respect to such shares of the Redemption Stock and Series F/G/H Participating Redemption Stock shall cease to accrue after such Redemption Date and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of the holders to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of any such certificate or certificates therefor.

 

  6.7

Rights Prior to Complete Redemption. Until such time as the Redemption Stock or Series F/G/H Participating Redemption Stock to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 6 has been completely redeemed, the holders of the Redemption Stock will continue to have all rights accorded to it at the Series H Original Issue Date, as such rights may have been amended with the written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series H Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock, as applicable, including, without limitation, the applicable Accruing Dividends with respect to such series of Preferred Stock.

 

  6.8

Insufficient Funds. If on the Redemption Date Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders prevents the Corporation from redeeming all shares of the Redemption Stock and Series F/G/H Participating Redemption Stock to be redeemed, the Corporation shall take any action necessary or appropriate, to the extent reasonably within its control, to remove promptly any impediments to its ability to redeem the total number of shares of the Redemption Stock and Series F/G/H Participating Redemption Stock required to be so redeemed, including, without limitation, incurring any indebtedness necessary to make such redemption, and in any event, use any funds to redeem consistent with such law the maximum possible number of such shares from the holders of such shares to be redeemed in proportion to the respective number of such shares that otherwise would have been redeemed if all such shares had been redeemed in full. At any time thereafter when Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders does not prohibit the Corporation to redeem such shares of the Redemption Stock and Series F/G/H Participating Redemption Stock, the Corporation shall immediately use its funds to redeem the balance of the shares that the Corporation became obligated to redeem on the Redemption Date (but which it has not yet redeemed) at such Redemption Price.

 

33


  6.9

Sale of Corporation and Special Board Appointment Right. In the event that the redemption provided in this Section 6 does not occur within twelve (12) months following the Corporation’s receipt of the Redemption Request, the Requesting Redemption Stockholder exercising the Redemption Right (or, if more than one Redemption Stockholder exercises its Redemption Right, such Redemption Stockholders) shall (i) have the right to require the Corporation to seek to effectuate and consummate a Sale of the Company (as such term is defined in that certain Seventh Amended and Restated Voting Agreement dated on or about the Series H Original Issue Date, by and among the Corporation and the other parties thereto (the “Voting Agreement”)) on terms and conditions as approved by the Board of Directors under the applicable Delaware law and satisfactory to such Redemption Stockholder(s) (a “Redemption Sale”), and for the avoidance of doubt, a Redemption Sale shall be treated as a Sale of the Company for all purposes in the Voting Agreement; or to solicit third party purchasers of the Redemption Stock and Series F/G/H Participating Redemption Stock (and any transfer restrictions, including, without limitation Section 2.12 of that certain Seventh Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement of the Corporation (as may be amended, restated, modified and/or supplemented from time to time, other than the restrictions under the applicable securities laws, would not apply to any sale to such purchasers), in each case, on terms and conditions satisfactory to such Requesting Redemption Stockholders, (ii) be entitled to nominate a majority of the members of the Board of Directors until the Redemption Right of such Requesting Redemption Stockholders has been satisfied in full (such right, the “Special Board Appointment Right”), and (iii) be entitled to exercise the right to approve a Sale of the Company pursuant to Section 3.2(i)(A) of the Voting Agreement). The Company shall cause the size of the Board of Directors to be increased in connection with the exercise the Special Board Appointment Right pursuant to this Section 6.9 such that such Requesting Redemption Stockholders will be able to nominate the majority of the members of the Board of Directors (including the Series G Director, the Series F Director or both of them designated by such Requesting Redemption Stockholders pursuant to Sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.2, as applicable).

 

  (a)

The period beginning on the Redemption Date ending on the date upon which all shares of Redemption Stock are so redeemed is referred to herein as the “Voting Period.” In furtherance of the above, as soon as practicable after the commencement of the Voting Period, the Corporation shall call a special meeting of the Requesting Redemption Stockholders and any other Redemption Stockholders conterminously exercising the Redemption Right to be held not more than ten (10) days after the date of mailing of notice of such meeting. If the Corporation fails to send a notice, any Redemption Stockholder exercising the Redemption Right may call the meeting on like notice. At any such special meeting and at each meeting of Redemption Stockholders held during a Voting Period at which Directors are to be elected (or with respect to any action by written consent

 

34


  in lieu of a meeting of stockholders), the Redemption Stockholders exercising the Redemption Right, voting together as a single class to the exclusion of the holders of all other securities and classes of capital stock of the Corporation, shall be entitled to elect the number of directors prescribed in Section 6.9(ii), and each share of Redemption Stock shall be entitled to one (1) vote (whether voted in person by the holder thereof or by proxy or pursuant to a stockholders consent).

 

  (b)

The terms of office of all persons who are incumbent directors of the Corporation at the time of a special meeting of the Redemption Stockholders exercising the Redemption Right to elect such additional directors shall continue, notwithstanding the election at such meeting of the additional directors that such holders are entitled to elect, and the additional directors so elected by such holders, together with such incumbent directors, shall constitute the duly elected directors of the Corporation. Simultaneously with the termination of a Voting Period, the terms of office of the additional directors elected by the Redemption Stockholders exercising the Redemption Right shall terminate, each additional director so elected shall resign or be removed effective immediately thereupon, the other directors elected pursuant to Section 3.2 (other than Section 3.2.6) shall constitute the directors of the Corporation and the rights of the Redemption Stockholders exercising the Redemption Right to elect additional directors pursuant to Section 6.9(ii) shall cease.

 

7.

Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares. Any shares of Preferred Stock that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries shall be automatically and immediately cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred. Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries may exercise any voting or other rights granted to the holders of Preferred Stock following redemption.

 

8.

Waiver. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3.2, Section 3.3.3, Section 3.3.4 and Section 3.3.5 above, any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms of the Preferred Stock set forth herein may be waived on behalf of all holders of Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis.

 

9.

Notices. Any notice required or permitted by the provisions of this Article FOURTH to be given to a holder of shares of Preferred Stock shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the post office address last shown on the records of the Corporation, or given by electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of the General Corporation Law, and shall be deemed sent upon such mailing or electronic transmission.

 

FIFTH:    Subject to any additional vote required by the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, in furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, repeal, alter, amend and rescind any or all of the Bylaws of the Corporation.

NINTH:    To the fullest extent permitted by law, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the General Corporation Law or any other law of the State of Delaware is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article NINTH to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law as so amended.
   Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article NINTH by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of, or increase the liability of any director of the Corporation with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to, such repeal or modification.
TENTH:    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation is authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) directors, officers and agents of the Corporation (and any other persons to which General Corporation Law permits the Corporation to provide indemnification) through Bylaw provisions, agreements with such agents or other persons, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law.
   Any amendment, repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article TENTH shall not adversely affect any right or protection of any director, officer or other agent of the Corporation existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification.
ELEVENTH:    The Corporation renounces, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any interest or expectancy of the Corporation in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any Excluded Opportunity. An “Excluded Opportunity” is any matter, transaction or interest that is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or which otherwise comes into the possession of, (i) any director of the Corporation who is not an employee of the Corporation or any of its

 

36


   subsidiaries, or (ii) any holder of Preferred Stock or any partner, member, director, stockholder, employee or agent of any such holder, other than someone who is an employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, “Covered Persons”), unless such matter, transaction or interest is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or otherwise comes into the possession of, a Covered Person expressly and solely in such Covered Person’s capacity as a director of the Corporation.
TWELFTH:    Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law or the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine.
THIRTEENTH:    In connection with repurchases by the Corporation of its Common Stock from employees, officers, directors, advisors, consultants or other persons performing services for the Corporation or any subsidiary pursuant to agreements under which the Corporation has the option to repurchase such shares at cost upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the termination of employment, Sections 500 and 501 of the California Corporations Code shall not apply in all or in part with respect to such repurchases.

For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 5(a) of these Bylaws, (i) the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation, (ii) such other business must be a proper matter for stockholder action under the DGCL, (iii) if the stockholder, or the beneficial owner on whose behalf any such proposal or nomination is made, has provided the corporation with a Solicitation Notice (as defined in this Section 5(b)), such stockholder or beneficial owner must, in the case of a proposal, have delivered a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the corporation’s voting shares required under applicable law to carry any such proposal, or, in the case of a nomination or nominations, have delivered a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of a percentage of the corporation’s voting shares reasonably believed by such stockholder or beneficial owner to be sufficient to elect the nominee or nominees proposed to be nominated by such stockholder, and must, in either case, have included in such materials the Solicitation Notice, and (iv) if no Solicitation Notice relating thereto has been timely provided pursuant to this section, the stockholder or beneficial owner proposing such business or nomination must not have solicited a number of proxies sufficient to have required the delivery of such a Solicitation Notice under this Section 5. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day nor earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided that if the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than thirty (30) days prior to or delayed by more than thirty (30) days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment of an annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth: (A) as to each person whom the stockholder proposed to nominate for election or reelection as a director all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) and Rule 14a-4(d) thereunder (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (B) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (C) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner, (ii) the class and number of shares of the corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner, and (iii) whether either such stockholder or beneficial owner intends to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of, in the case of the proposal, at least the percentage of the corporation’s voting shares required under applicable law to carry the proposal or, in the case of a nomination or nominations, a sufficient number of holders of the corporation’s voting shares to elect such nominee or nominees (an affirmative statement of such intent, a “Solicitation Notice”).

(c) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of Section 5(b) of these Bylaws to the contrary, if the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the

 

-2-


size of the increased Board of Directors made by the corporation at least one hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 5 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the corporation.

(d) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 5 shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 5. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made, or proposed in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these Bylaws, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting and shall be disregarded.

Section 6. Special Meetings of Stockholders.

(a) Special meetings of the stockholders of the corporation may be called, for any purpose or purposes, by (i) the Chairman of the Board of Directors, (ii) the Chief Executive Officer, or (iii) the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any such resolution is presented to the Board of Directors for adoption) and shall be held at such place, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors shall fix.

At any time or times that the corporation is subject to Section 2115(b) of the California General Corporation Law (“CGCL”), stockholders holding thirt een percent (13%) or more of the outstanding shares shall have the right to call a special meeting of stockholders as set forth in Section 18(b) herein.

(b) If a special meeting is properly called by any person or persons other than the Board of Directors, the request shall be in writing, specifying the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted, and shall be delivered personally or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by facsimile or other electronic transmission to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, or the Secretary of the corporation. No business may be transacted at such special meeting otherwise than specified in such notice. The Board of Directors shall determine the time and place of such special meeting, which shall be held not less than thirty-five (35) nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the receipt of the request. Upon determination of the time and place of the meeting, the officer receiving the request shall cause notice to be given to the stockholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of these Bylaws. Nothing contained in this paragraph (b) shall be construed as limiting the time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of the Board of Directors may be held.

Section 7. Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by law, notice, given in writing or by electronic transmission, of each meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, such notice to specify the place, if any, date and hour, in the case of special meetings, the purpose or purposes of the meeting, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at any such meeting. If

 

-3-


mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the corporation. Notice of the time, place, if any, and purpose of any meeting of stockholders may be waived in writing, signed by the person entitled to notice thereof or by electronic transmission by such person, either before or after such meeting, and will be waived by any stockholder by his attendance thereat in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Any stockholder so waiving notice of such meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of any such meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given.

Section 8. Quorum. At all meetings of stockholders, except where otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws, the presence, in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from time to time, either by the chairman of the meeting or by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented thereat, but no other business shall be transacted at such meeting. The stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum is present, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Except as otherwise provided by statute, or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required, except where otherwise provided by the statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes or series, present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter. Except where otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the affirmative vote of the majority (plurality, in the case of the election of directors) of shares of such class or classes or series present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class or classes or series.

Section 9. Adjournment and Notice of Adjourned Meetings. Any meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time either by the chairman of the meeting or by the vote of a majority of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, if any, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 10. Voting Rights. For the purpose of determining those stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law, only persons in whose names shares stand on the stock records of the corporation on the record date, as provided in Section 12 of these Bylaws, shall be entitled to vote. Every person entitled to vote or execute consents shall have the

 

-4-


right to do so either in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by an agent or agents authorized by a proxy granted in accordance with Delaware law. An agent so appointed need not be a stockholder. No proxy shall be voted after three (3) years from its date of creation unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

Section 11. Joint Owners of Stock. If shares having voting power stand of record in the names of two (2) or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common or otherwise, or if two (2) or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary is given written notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, their acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect: (a) if only one (1) votes, his act binds all; (b) if more than one (1) votes, the act of the majority so voting binds all; (c) if more than one (1) votes, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction may vote the securities in question proportionally, or may apply to the Delaware Court of Chancery for relief as provided in the DGCL, Section 217(b). If the instrument filed with the Secretary shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interests, a majority or even-split for the purpose of subsection (c) shall be a majority or even-split in interest.

Section 12. List of Stockholders. The Secretary shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation. If the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. The list shall be open to examination of any stockholder during the time of the meeting as provided by law.

Section 13. Action Without Meeting.

(a) Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required by statute to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, or by electronic transmission setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

(b) Every written consent or electronic transmission shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent, and no written consent or electronic transmission shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated consent delivered to the corporation in the manner herein required, written consents or electronic transmissions signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take action are delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to a corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

 

-5-


(c) Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing or by electronic transmission and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take action were delivered to the corporation as provided in Section 228(c) of the DGCL. If the action which is consented to is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under any section of the DGCL if such action had been voted on by stockholders at a meeting thereof, then the certificate filed under such section shall state, in lieu of any statement required by such section concerning any vote of stockholders, that written consent has been given in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL.

(d) An electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purposes of this section, provided that any such electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the corporation can determine (i) that the electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder and (ii) the date on which such stockholder or proxyholder or authorized person or persons transmitted such electronic transmission. The date on which such electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed. No consent given by electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is reproduced in paper form and until such paper form shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the state of Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to a corporation’s registered office shall be made by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations on delivery, consents given by electronic transmission may be otherwise delivered to the principal place of business of the corporation or to an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded if, to the extent and in the manner provided by resolution of the board of directors of the corporation. Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing.

Section 14. Organization.

(a) At every meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or, if a Chairman has not been appointed or is absent, the President, or, if the President is absent, a chairman of the meeting chosen by a majority in interest of the stockholders entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy, shall act as chairman. The Secretary, or, in his absence, an Assistant Secretary directed to do so by the President, shall act as secretary of the meeting.

(b) The Board of Directors of the corporation shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem necessary or appropriate. Subject to any such rules and regulations, the chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are necessary or appropriate. The date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at the meeting shall be announced at the meeting. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with rules of parliamentary procedure.

DIRECTORS

Section 15. Number of Directors. The authorized number of directors of the corporation shall be fixed by the Board of Directors from time to time. Directors need not be stockholders. If for any reason, the directors shall not have been elected at an annual meeting, they may be elected as soon thereafter as convenient.

Section 16. Powers. The powers of the corporation shall be exercised, its business conducted and its property controlled by the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation.

Section 17. Term of Directors.

(a) Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders for a term of one year. Each director shall serve until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until his death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

(b) No person entitled to vote at an election for directors may cumulate votes to which such person is entitled, unless, at the time of such election, the corporation is subject to Section 2115(b) of the CGCL. During such time that the corporation is subject to Section 2115(b) of the CGCL, every stockholder entitled to vote at an election for directors may cumulate such stockholder’s votes and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which such stockholder’s shares are otherwise entitled, or distribute the stockholder’s votes on the same principle among as many candidates as such stockholder thinks fit. No stockholder, however, shall be entitled to so cumulate such stockholder’s votes unless (i) the names of such candidate or candidates have been placed in nomination prior to the voting and (ii) the stockholder has given notice at the meeting, prior to the voting, of such stockholder’s intention to cumulate such stockholder’s votes. If any stockholder has given proper notice to cumulate votes, all stockholders may cumulate their votes for any candidates who have been properly placed in nomination. Under cumulative voting, the candidates receiving the highest number of votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, are elected.

Section 18. Board Vacancies.

(a) Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall, unless the Board of Directors determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships shall be filled by stockholders, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the director for which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified. A vacancy in the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist under this Bylaw in the case of the death, removal or resignation of any director.

 

-7-


(b) At any time or times that the corporation is subject to §2115(b) of the CGCL, if, after the filling of any vacancy, the directors then in office who have been elected by stockholders shall constitute less than a majority of the directors then in office, then

(i) any holder or holders of an aggregate of five percent (5%) or more of the total number of outstanding shares having the right to vote for those directors may call a special meeting of stockholders; or

(ii) the Superior Court of the proper county shall, upon application of such stockholder or stockholders, summarily order a special meeting of the stockholders, to be held to elect the entire board, all in accordance with Section 305(c) of the CGCL, the term of office of any director shall terminate upon that election of a successor.

Section 19. Resignation of Directors. Any director may resign at any time by delivering a notice in writing or by electronic transmission to the Secretary, such resignation to specify whether it will be effective at a particular time, upon receipt by the Secretary or at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. If no such specification is made, it shall be deemed effective at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. When one or more directors shall resign from the Board of Directors, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignations shall become effective, and each Director so chosen shall hold office for the unexpired portion of the term of the Director whose place shall be vacated and until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.

Section 20. Removal of Directors.

(a) Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, and subject to applicable law and the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock (and assuming the corporation is not subject to Section 2115 of the CGCL), the Board of Directors or any director may be removed from office at any time (i) with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally at an election of directors or (ii) without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation, entitled to vote generally at an election of directors.

(b) During such time that the corporation is subject to Section 2115(b) of the CGCL, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, and subject to applicable law and the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors or any individual director may be removed from office at any time without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on such removal; provided that unless the entire Board is removed, no individual director may be removed when the votes cast against such director’s removal, or not consenting in writing to such removal, would be sufficient to elect that director if voted cumulatively at an election which the same total number of votes were cast (or, if such action is taken by written consent, all shares entitled to vote were voted) and the entire number of directors authorized at the time of such director’s most recent election were then being elected.

The Board of Directors shall promptly, but in all events within ten (10) days after the date on which such a request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors within ten (10) days of the date on which such a request is received, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.

ARTICLE XI

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 41. Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers,.

(a) Directors and Executive Officers. The corporation shall indemnify its directors and executive officers (for the purposes of this Article XI, “executive officers” shall have the meaning defined in Rule 3b-7 under the 1934 Act) to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL or applicable law; provided that the corporation may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with its directors and executive officers; and, provided, further, that the corporation shall not be required to indemnify any director or executive officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the corporation under the Delaware General Corporation Law or other applicable law or (iv) such indemnification is required to be made under subsection (d).

(b) Other Officers, Employees and Other Agents. The corporation shall have power to indemnify its other officers, employees and other agents as set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law. The Board of Directors shall have the power to delegate the determination of whether indemnification shall be given to any such person except executive officers to such officers or other persons as the Board of Directors shall determine.

(c) Expenses. The corporation shall advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or executive officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or executive officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses incurred by any director or executive officer in connection with such proceeding, provided that, if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 41 or otherwise.

 

-17-


Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Bylaw, no advance shall be made by the corporation to an executive officer of the corporation (except by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of the corporation, in which event this paragraph shall not apply) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, even if not a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

(d) Enforcement. Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to directors and executive officers under this Bylaw shall be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the corporation and the director or executive officer. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this Bylaw to a director or executive officer shall be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within ninety (90) days of request therefor. The claimant in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting the claim. In connection with any claim for indemnification, the corporation shall be entitled to raise as a defense to any such action that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the DGCL or any other applicable law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. In connection with any claim by an executive officer of the corporation (except in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of the corporation) for advances, the corporation shall be entitled to raise a defense as to any such action clear and convincing evidence that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding that such person acted without reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was lawful. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by a director or executive officer to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, the burden of proving that the director or executive officer is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article XI or otherwise shall be on the corporation.

(e) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall not be exclusive of any other right which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any applicable statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office. The corporation is authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL or any other applicable law.

 

-18-


(f) Survival of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, or executive officer, officer, employee or other agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(g) Insurance. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, or any other applicable law, the corporation, upon approval by the Board of Directors, may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to this Bylaw.

(h) Amendments. Any repeal or modification of this Bylaw shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Bylaw in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that is the cause of any proceeding against any agent of the corporation.

(i) Saving Clause. If this Bylaw or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director and executive officer to the full extent not prohibited by any applicable portion of this Bylaw that shall not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law. If this Section 41 shall be invalid due to the application of the indemnification provisions of another jurisdiction, then the corporation shall indemnify each director and executive officer to the full extent under applicable law.

(j) Certain Definitions. For the purposes of this Bylaw, the following definitions shall apply:

(1) The term “proceeding” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement, arbitration and appeal of, and the giving of testimony in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.

(2) The term “expenses” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, court costs, attorneys’ fees, witness fees, fines, amounts paid in settlement or judgment and any other costs and expenses of any nature or kind incurred in connection with any proceeding.

(3) The term the “corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Bylaw with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

(4) References to a “director,” “executive officer,” “officer,” “employee,” or “agent” of the corporation shall include, without limitation, situations where such person is serving at the request of the corporation as, respectively, a director, executive officer, officer, employee, trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

(b) Notice to Directors. Any notice required to be given to any director may be given by the method stated in subsection (a), or as provided for in Section 21 of these Bylaws.

(d) Notice to Person with Whom Communication Is Unlawful. Whenever notice is required to be given, under any provision of law or of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the corporation, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. If the action taken by the corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

(e) Notice to Stockholders Sharing an Address. Except as otherwise prohibited under the DGCL, any notice given under the provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. Such consent shall have been deemed to have been given if such stockholder fails to object in writing to the corporation within 60 days of having been given notice by the corporation of its intention to send the single notice.

(1) A stockholder’s transfer of any or all shares held either during such stockholder’s lifetime or on death by will or intestacy to such stockholder’s immediate family or to any custodian or trustee for the account of such stockholder or such stockholder’s immediate family or to any limited partnership of which the stockholder, members of such stockholder’s immediate family or any trust for the account of such stockholder or such stockholder’s immediate family will be the general of limited partner(s) of such partnership. “Immediate family” as used herein shall mean spouse, lineal descendant, father, mother, brother, or sister of the stockholder making such transfer.

(g) The provisions of this bylaw may be waived with respect to any transfer either by the corporation, upon duly authorized action of its Board of Directors, or by the stockholders, upon the express written consent of the owners of a majority of the voting power of the corporation (excluding the votes represented by those shares to be transferred by the transferring stockholder). This bylaw may be amended or repealed either by a duly authorized action of the Board of Directors or by the stockholders, upon the express written consent of the owners of a majority of the voting power of the corporation.

3.

Exercise of Warrant.

 

  (a)

Exercise Procedure. This Warrant may be exercised from time to time on any Business Day during the Exercise Period, for all or any part of the unexercised Warrant Shares, upon:

 

  (i)

surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive offices (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction), together with an Exercise Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, an “Exercise Agreement”), duly completed (including specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased) and executed; and

 

  (ii)

payment to the Company of the Aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 3(b).

 

  (b)

Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price. Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall be made, at the option of the Holder as expressed in the Exercise Agreement, by the following methods:

 

  (i)

by delivery to the Company of a certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, in the amount of such Aggregate Exercise Price;

 

  (ii)

by instructing the Company to withhold a number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the Exercise Date equal to such Aggregate Exercise Price;

 

3


  (iii)

In the event of any withholding of Warrant Shares or surrender of other equity securities pursuant to clause (ii) above where the number of shares whose value is equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price is not a whole number, the number of shares withheld by or surrendered to the Company shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share and the Company shall make a cash payment to the Holder (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) based on the incremental fraction of a share being so withheld by or surrendered to the Company in an amount equal to the product of (x) such incremental fraction of a share being so withheld or surrendered multiplied by the Fair Market Value per Warrant Share as of the Exercise Date.

 

  (c)

The stock certificate or certificates so delivered shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as the exercising Holder shall reasonably request in the Exercise Agreement and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or, subject to compliance with Section 7 below, such other Person’s name as shall be designated in the Exercise Agreement. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates of Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the Exercise Date.

 

  (d)

Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional Warrant Share upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any fraction of a Warrant Share that the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay to such Holder an amount in cash (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) equal to the product of (i) such fraction multiplied by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share on the Exercise Date.

 

4


  (e)

Delivery of New Warrant. Unless the purchase rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares being issued in accordance with Section 3(c) hereof, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unexpired and unexercised Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant.

 

  (f)

Valid Issuance of Warrant and Warrant Shares; Payment of Taxes. With respect to the exercise of this warrant, the Company hereby represents, covenants and agrees:

 

  (i)

This Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued.

 

  (ii)

All Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be, upon issuance, and the Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that such Warrant Shares are, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, issued without violation of any preemptive or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company and free and clear of all taxes, liens and charges.

 

  (iii)

The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all such Warrant Shares are issued without violation by the Company of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares may be listed at the time of such exercise (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon each such issuance).

 

  (iv)

The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed with respect to any applicable withholding or the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares to any Person other than the Holder, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

 

5


  (g)

Conditional Exercise. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.

 

  (h)

Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the par value per Warrant Share shall at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Exercise Price. The Company shall not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

4.

Adjustments to the Shares And Warrant Price.

 

  (a)

Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of the Common Stock payable in securities or property (other than cash), then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Warrant Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without additional cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities and property which Holder would have received had Holder owned the Warrant Shares of record as of the date the dividend or distribution occurred. If the Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Common Stock by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares of the Common Stock are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares shall be proportionately decreased.

 

6


  (b)

Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock are reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities that Holder would have received had the Warrant Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 4(b) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations substitutions, replacements or other similar events.

 

  (c)

No Fractional Share. No fractional share shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. If a fractional Warrant Share interest arises upon any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Warrant Share interest by paying Holder in cash the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by (i) the Fair Market Value of a full Warrant Share, less (ii) the then-effective Exercise Price.

 

5.

Lock-Up Period. Holder hereby agrees that Holder shall not offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company or enter into any swap, hedging or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by Holder (other than those included in the registration) for a period specified by the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days following the effective date of any registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act (or such other period as may be requested by the Company or the underwriters to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in NASD Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto).

Holder agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, Holder shall provide, within ten (10) days of such request, such information as may be required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the

 

7


Securities Act. The obligations described in this Section 5 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of said one hundred and eighty (180) day (or other) period. Holder agrees that any transferee of the Warrant Shares shall be bound by this Section 5.

 

6.

Companys Right of First Refusal. Before any Warrant Shares held by Holder or any transferee (either being sometimes referred to herein as the “Holder”) may be sold or otherwise transferred (including transfer by gift or operation of law), the Company or its assignee(s) shall have a right of first refusal to purchase the Warrant Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6 (the “Right of First Refusal”).

 

  (a)

Notice of Proposed Transfer. The Holder of the Warrant Shares shall deliver to the Company a written notice (the “Notice”) stating: (i) the Holder’s bona fide intention to sell or otherwise transfer such Shares; (ii) the name of each proposed purchaser or other transferee (“Proposed Transferee”); (iii) the number of Shares to be transferred to each Proposed Transferee; and (iv) the bona fide cash price or other consideration for which the Holder proposes to transfer the Shares (the “Offered Price”), and the Holder shall offer the Shares at the Offered Price to the Company or its assignee(s).

 

  (b)

Exercise of Right of First Refusal. At any time within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may, by giving written notice to the Holder, elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares proposed to be transferred to any one or more of the Proposed Transferees, at the purchase price determined in accordance with subsection (c) below.

 

  (c)

Purchase Price. The purchase price (“ROFR Purchase Price”) for the Warrant Shares purchased by the Company or its assignee(s) under this Section 6 shall be the Offered Price. If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith.

 

8


  (d)

Payment. Payment of the ROFR Purchase Price shall be made, at the option of the Company or its assignee(s), in cash (by check), by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Holder to the Company (or, in the case of repurchase by an assignee, to the assignee), or by any combination thereof within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice or in the manner and at the times set forth in the Notice.

 

  (e)

Holder’s Right to Transfer. If all of the Shares proposed in the Notice to be transferred to a given Proposed Transferee are not purchased by the Company and/or its assignee(s) as provided in this Section 6, then the Holder may sell or otherwise transfer such Shares to that Proposed Transferee at the Offered Price or at a higher price, provided that: (i) the transfer is made only on the terms provided for in the notice, with the exception of the purchase price, which may be either the price listed in the notice or any higher price; (ii) such transfer is consummated within 60 days after the date the notice is delivered to the Company; (iii) the transfer is effected in accordance with any applicable securities laws, and if requested by the Company, the Holder shall have delivered an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company to that effect; and (iv) the Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this Section shall continue to apply to the transferred Shares in the hands of such Proposed Transferee. If any Shares described in a notice are not transferred to the Proposed Transferee within the period provided above, then before any such Shares may be transferred, a new Notice shall be given to the Company, and the Company and/or its assignees shall again be offered the right of first refusal described in this Section.

 

  (f)

Exception for Certain Family Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Section, the transfer of any or all of the Warrant Shares during the Holder’s lifetime or on the Holder’s death by will or intestacy to the Holder’s spouse or domestic partner, child, father, mother, brother, sister, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, grandfather, grandmother, grandchild, cousin, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, stepchild, or to a trust or other similar estate planning vehicle for the benefit of the Holder or any such person, shall be exempt from the provisions of this Section; provided that, in each such case, the transferee shall agree in writing to receive and hold the Warrant Shares so transferred subject to all of the provisions of this Warrant, including but not limited to this Section, and there shall be no further transfer of such Warrant Shares except in accordance with the terms of this Section. For purposes of this Warrant, a person will be deemed to be a “domestic partner” of another person if the two persons (i) reside in the same residence and plan to do so indefinitely, (ii) have resided together for at least one year, (iii) are each at least 18 years of age and mentally

 

9


  competent to consent to contract, (iv) are not blood relatives any closer than would prohibit legal marriage in the state in which they reside, (v) are financially interdependent, as demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company and (vi) have each been the sole spouse equivalent of the other for the year prior to the transfer and plan to remain so indefinitely; provided that a person will not be considered a domestic partner if he or she is married to another person or has any other spouse equivalent.

 

  (g)

Termination of Right of First Refusal. The Right of First Refusal shall terminate as to any Warrant Shares upon the earlier of (i) the first sale of Common Stock of the Company to the general public, or (ii) a merger or acquisition of the company in which the successor corporation has equity securities that are publicly traded.

 

7.

Transfer of Warrant. This Warrant and all rights hereunder are personal to the Holder and may not be transferred, in whole or in part, by the Holder without the consent of the Company.

 

8.

Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder; Limitations on Liability. Prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares to which the Holder is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

9.

Replacement on Loss; Division and Combination.

 

  (a)

Replacement of Warrant on Loss. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and upon delivery of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (it being understood that a written indemnification agreement or affidavit of loss of the Holder shall be a sufficient indemnity) and, in case of mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant for cancellation to the Company, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver to the Holder, in lieu hereof, a new Warrant of like tenor and exercisable for an equivalent number of Warrant Shares as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed; provided, that, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.

 

10


  (b)

Division and Combination of Warrant. Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant and the Stockholders Agreement as to any transfer or other assignment which may be involved in such division or combination, this Warrant may be divided or, following any such division of this Warrant, subsequently combined with other Warrants, upon the surrender of this Warrant or Warrants to the Company at its then principal executive offices, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the respective Holders or their agents or attorneys. Subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant and the Stockholders Agreement as to any transfer or assignment which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall at its own expense execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered in accordance with such notice. Such new Warrant or Warrants shall be of like tenor to the surrendered Warrant or Warrants and shall be exercisable in the aggregate for an equivalent number of Warrant Shares as the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered in accordance with such notice.

 

10.

Compliance with the Securities Act.

 

  (a)

Agreement to Comply with the Securities Act; Legend. The Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 10 and the restrictive legend requirements set forth on the face of this Warrant and further agrees that such Holder shall not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). This Warrant and all Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant (unless registered under the Securities Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE OR FOREIGN SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING SUCH SHARES IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT AND IS QUALIFIED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE

  (b)

Representations of the Holder. In connection with the issuance of this Warrant, the Holder specifically represents, as of the date hereof, to the Company by acceptance of this Warrant as follows:

 

  (i)

The Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Holder is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof for investment for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

 

  (ii)

The Holder understands and acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In addition, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

 

  (iii)

The Holder acknowledges that it can bear the economic and financial risk of its investment for an indefinite period, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Warrant and the Warrant Shares. The Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Warrant and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK

 

Corporation:    TheRealReal, Inc.
Number of Shares:                 (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1.7)
Class of Stock:    Series B Preferred
Initial Exercise Price:    $             per share
Issue Date:                
Expiration Date:                

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged,              or its assignee (“Holder”) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the class of securities (the “Shares”) of the corporation (the “Company”) at the initial exercise price per Share (the “Warrant Price”) all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Article 2 of this warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this warrant.

ARTICLE 1

EXERCISE

1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this warrant by delivering this warrant and a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth in Section 1.2, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.

1.2 Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this warrant as specified in Section 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise of this warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the fair market value of one Share. The fair market value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.3.

1.3 Fair Market Value. If the Shares are traded regularly in a public market, the fair market value of the Shares shall be the closing price of the Shares (or the closing price of the Company’s stock into which the Shares are convertible) reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Shares are not regularly traded in a public market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith judgment.

 

TheRealReal, Inc. — Warrant      


1.4 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises or converts this warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not expired, a new warrant representing the Shares not so acquired.

1.5 Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

1.6 Repurchase on Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of the Company.

1.6.1Acquisition.” For the purpose of this warrant, “Acquisition” means (a) any sale, license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets (including intellectual property) of the Company, or (b) any reorganization, consolidation, merger or sale of the voting securities of the Company or any other transaction where the holders of the Company’s securities before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction.

1.6.2 Assumption of Warrant. If upon the closing of any Acquisition the successor entity assumes the obligations of this warrant, then this warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Warrant Price shall be adjusted accordingly. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause the surviving corporation to assume the obligations of this warrant.

1.6.3 Nonassumption. If upon the closing of any Acquisition the successor entity does not assume the obligations of this warrant and Holder has not otherwise exercised this warrant in full, then Holder shall have the option either to (a) deem this warrant to have been automatically converted pursuant to Section 1.2 and thereafter Holder shall participate in the Acquisition on the same terms as other holders of the same class of securities of the Company; or (b) require the Company to purchase this warrant for cash upon the closing of the Acquisition for an amount per Share equal to three (3) times the Warrant Price.

1.7 Adjustment in Number of Shares. The number of shares for which this warrant is exercisable shall automatically increase by an amount equal to the quotient of (a) (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans made pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement by and between the Company and                      dated                     , as it may be amended from time to time (provided that such amount shall not exceed $5,000,000), multiplied by (ii) 0.01125, divided by (b) the Initial Exercise Price; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstance will the total number of shares for which this warrant is exercisable be greater than                     . With respect to any adjustment to the number of shares pursuant to this Section 1.7, all shares subject to this warrant shall be of the same series and class of stock and bearing the same rights, preferences, and privileges as such series and class of stock denoted in the above caption hereto. The adjustment under this Section 1.7 shall be in addition to any adjustment made pursuant to Article 2 hereof.

 

TheRealReal, Inc. — Warrant      


ARTICLE 2

ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES

2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on its common stock payable in common stock, or other securities, or subdivides the outstanding common stock into a greater amount of common stock, then upon exercise of this warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.

2.2 Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. Such an event shall include any automatic conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class or series as the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation upon the closing of a registered public offering of the Company’s common stock. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new warrant for such new securities or other property. The new warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

2.3 Adjustments for Combinations, Etc. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased.

2.4 Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. In the event of the issuance (a “Diluting Issuance”) by the Company after the Issue Date of securities at a price per share less than the Warrant Price, then the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares shall be adjusted in accordance with those provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation that apply to Diluting Issuances.

2.5 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.

 

TheRealReal, Inc. — Warrant      


2.6 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the warrant, and the Number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of the warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.

ARTICLE 3

REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

3.1 Representations and Warranties. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holder as follows:

(a) The initial Warrant Price referenced on the first page of this warrant is not greater than the fair market value of the Shares as of the date of this warrant.

(b) All Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase right represented by this warrant, and all securities, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Shares, shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of any liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws.

(c) The Company’s capitalization table attached to this warrant is true and complete as of the Issue Date.

3.2 Notice of Certain Events. The Company shall provide Holder with not less than 10 days prior written notice, including a description of the material facts surrounding, any of the following events: (a) declaration of any dividend or distribution upon its common stock, whether in cash, property, stock, or other securities and whether or not a regular cash dividend; (b) offering for subscription pro rata to the holders of any class or series of its stock any additional shares of stock of any class or series or other rights; (c) effecting any reclassification or recapitalization of common stock; or (d) the merger or consolidation with or into any other corporation, or sale, lease, license, or conveyance of all or substantially all of its assets, or liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

3.3 Information Rights. So long as the Holder holds this warrant and/or any of the Shares, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (a) promptly after mailing, copies of all communiques to the shareholders of the Company, (b) within one hundred eighty (180) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, the annual audited financial statements of the Company certified by independent public accountants of recognized standing and (c) within forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year, the Company’s quarterly, unaudited financial statements.

 

TheRealReal, Inc. — Warrant      


3.4 Registration Under Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company agrees that upon exercise of the Shares pursuant to Article 1, Holder may become an “Investor” under that certain Investors’ Rights Agreement among the Company and other investors dated as of April 3, 2013, as amended from time to time, (the “IRA”) by executing a joinder pursuant to Section 6.9 of the IRA. For the avoidance of doubt, Holder will not be a “Major Investor” under the IRA and the common stock of the Company which the Shares are convertible into shall be “Registrable Securities” under the IRA.

ARTICLE 4

The Company shall not require Holder to provide an opinion of counsel if the transfer is to an affiliate of Holder or if there is no material question as to the availability of current information as referenced in Rule 144(c), Holder represents that it has complied with Rule 144 (d) and (e) in reasonable detail, the selling broker represents that it has complied with Rule 144(f), and the Company is provided with a copy of Holder’s notice of proposed sale.

4.4 Transfer Procedure. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.3, Holder may transfer all or part of this warrant or the Shares issuable upon exercise of this warrant (or the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Shares, if any) by giving the Company notice of the portion of the warrant being transferred setting forth the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee and surrendering this warrant to the Company for reissuance to the transferee(s) (and Holder, if applicable). No surrender or reissuance shall be required if the transfer is to an affiliate of Holder.

Such an event shall include any automatic conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class or series as the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation upon the closing of a registered public offering of the Company’s common stock. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new warrant for such new securities or other property. The new warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

6.3 Adjustments for Combinations, Etc. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased.

6.4 Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. In the event of the issuance (a “Diluting Issuance”) by the Company after the Issue Date of securities at a price per share less than the Warrant Price, then the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares shall be adjusted in accordance with those provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation that apply to Diluting Issuances.

6.5 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.

6.6 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the warrant, and the Number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of the warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.

ARTICLE 1

EXERCISE

1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this warrant by delivering this warrant and a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth in Section 1.2, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.

1.2 Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this warrant as specified in Section 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise of this warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the fair market value of one Share. The fair market value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.3.

1.3 Fair Market Value. If the Shares are traded regularly in a public market, the fair market value of the Shares shall be the closing price of the Shares (or the closing price of the Company’s stock into which the Shares are convertible) reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Shares are not regularly traded in a public market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith judgment.

1.4 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises or converts this warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not expired, a new warrant representing the Shares not so acquired.

1.5 Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

1.6.2 Assumption of Warrant. If upon the closing of any Acquisition the successor entity assumes the obligations of this warrant, then this warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Warrant Price shall be adjusted accordingly. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause the surviving corporation to assume the obligations of this warrant.

1.6.3 Nonassumption. If upon the closing of any Acquisition the successor entity does not assume the obligations of this warrant and Holder has not otherwise exercised this warrant in full, then Holder shall have the option either to (a) deem this warrant to have been automatically converted pursuant to Section 1.2 and thereafter Holder shall participate in the Acquisition on the same terms as other holders of the same class of securities of the Company; or (b) require the Company to purchase this warrant for cash upon the closing of the Acquisition for an amount per Share equal to three (3) times the Warrant Price.

Class of Stock:    Series E Preferred   
Initial Exercise Price:    $              per share   
Issue Date:                       
Expiration Date:                       

THIS FIFTH WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged,                      or its assignee (“Holder”) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the class of securities (the “Shares”) of the corporation (the “Company”) at the initial exercise price per Share (the “Warrant Price”) all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Article 2 of this warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this warrant. Reference is made to Section 4.4 of this warrant, whereby                      shall transfer this warrant to its parent company,                      .

ARTICLE 1

EXERCISE

1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this warrant by delivering this warrant and a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth in Section 1.2, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.

1.2 Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this warrant as specified in Section 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise of this warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the fair market value of one Share. The fair market value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.3.

1.3 Fair Market Value. If the Shares are traded regularly in a public market, the fair market value of the Shares shall be the closing price of the Shares (or the closing price of the Company’s stock into which the Shares are convertible) reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Shares are not regularly traded in a public market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith judgment.

 

TheRealReal, Inc. — Warrant      


1.4 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises or converts this warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not expired, a new warrant representing the Shares not so acquired.

1.5 Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

1.6 Repurchase on Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of the Company.

1.6.1Acquisition.” For the purpose of this warrant, “Acquisition” means (a) any sale, license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets (including intellectual property) of the Company, or (b) any reorganization, consolidation, merger or sale of the voting securities of the Company or any other transaction where the holders of the Company’s securities before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction.

1.6.2 Assumption of Warrant. If upon the closing of any Acquisition the successor entity assumes the obligations of this warrant, then this warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Warrant Price shall be adjusted accordingly. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause the surviving corporation to assume the obligations of this warrant.

1.6.3 Nonassumption. If upon the closing of any Acquisition the successor entity does not assume the obligations of this warrant and Holder has not otherwise exercised this warrant in full, then Holder shall have the option either to (a) deem this warrant to have been automatically converted pursuant to Section 1.2 and thereafter Holder shall participate in the Acquisition on the same terms as other holders of the same class of securities of the Company; or (b) require the Company to purchase this warrant for cash upon the closing of the Acquisition for an amount per Share equal to three (3) times the Warrant Price.

ARTICLE 2

ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES

2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on its common stock payable in common stock, or other securities, or subdivides the outstanding common stock into a greater amount of common stock, then upon exercise of this warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.

 

TheRealReal, Inc. — Warrant      


2.2 Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. Such an event shall include any automatic conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class or series as the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation upon the closing of a registered public offering of the Company’s common stock. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new warrant for such new securities or other property. The new warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

2.3 Adjustments for Combinations, Etc. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased.

2.4 Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. In the event of the issuance (a “Diluting Issuance”) by the Company after the Issue Date of securities at a price per share less than the Warrant Price, then the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares shall be adjusted in accordance with those provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation that apply to Diluting Issuances.

2.5 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.

2.6 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the warrant, and the Number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of the warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.

Subject to Section 2.14, if at any time after the earlier of (i) five (5) years after the date of this Agreement or (ii) one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of the registration statement for the IPO, the Company receives a written request from Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a Form S-1 registration statement with respect to the Registrable Securities then outstanding, having an anticipated aggregate offering price of at least $30 million, net of Selling Expenses, then the Company shall (i) within ten (10) days after the date such request is given, give written

 

5


  notice thereof (the “Demand Notice”) to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders; and (ii) as soon as practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days after the date such request is given by the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-1 registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities that the Initiating Holders requested to be registered and any additional Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Section 2.1(c), Section 2.1(d), and Section 2.3.

 

  (b)

Form S-3 Demand. Subject to Section 2.14, if, after the Company has qualified for the use of a Form S-3 registration statement, the Company receives a written request from (i) Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, (ii) the Holders of a majority of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock then outstanding (the “Series F Majority”) or (iii) the Holders of a majority of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock then outstanding (the “Series G Majority”), that the Company file a Form S-3 registration statement (or, with respect to a request from the Series F Majority or the Series G Majority, if the Company has since become ineligible for the use of Form S-3, a Form S-1 registration statement) with respect to outstanding Registrable Securities of such Holders having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, of at least $10 million, then the Company shall (x) within ten (10) days after the date such request is given, give a Demand Notice to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders; and (y) as soon as practicable, and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the date such request is given by the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-3 registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Section 2.1(c), Section 2.1(d), and Section 2.3.

 

  (c)

Timing Limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if the Company furnishes to Holders requesting a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 a certificate signed by the Company’s chief executive officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such registration statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, because such action would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or

 

6


  Exchange Act, then the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after the request of the Initiating Holders is given; provided, however, that the Company may not invoke this right more than twice in any twelve (12) month period; and provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for its own account or that of any other stockholder during such sixty (60) day period other than an Excluded Registration.

 

  (d)

Other Limitations. The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a): (i) during the period that is sixty (60) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration in which holders of Registrable Securities were permitted to register the offer and sale under the Securities Act at least sixty-six percent (66%) of the shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein, provided, that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; (ii) after the Company has effected two registrations pursuant to Section 2.1(a), provided that a registration shall not count as a registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) unless and until it has become effective and the holders requesting such registration are able to register at least sixty-six (66%) of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration; or (iii) if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 2.1(b). The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Section 2.1(b) (x) during the period that is thirty (30) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration in which holders of Registrable Securities were permitted to register the offer and sale under the Securities Act at least sixty-six percent (66%) of the shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein, provided, that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or (y) if the Company has effected two registrations pursuant to Section 2.1(b) within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of such request; provided, that this subsection shall not apply to requests made by the Series F Majority or the Series G Majority, as the case may be, until such time as the Company has effected one registration requested by such Series F Majority or Series G Majority, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.1(b) within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of such request. A registration shall not be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 2.1(d) until such time as the applicable registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC, unless the

 

7


  Initiating Holders withdraw their request for such registration, elect not to pay the registration expenses therefor, and forfeit their right to one demand registration statement pursuant to Section 2.6, in which case such withdrawn registration statement shall be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Section 2.1(d).

 

  2.2

Company Registration. Subject to Section 2.14, if the Company proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than in an Excluded Registration), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder notice of such registration. Upon the request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3, cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be included in such registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 before the effective date of such registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 2.6.

 

  2.3

Underwriting Requirements.

 

  (a)

Demand Registration. If, pursuant to Section 2.1, the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Section 2.1, and the Company shall include such information in the Demand Notice. The underwriter(s) will be selected by the Initiating Holders, subject only to the reasonable approval of the Company. In such event, the right of any Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Section 2.4(f)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by promptly delivering written notice to the Company and the underwriter. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration unless such registration is a registration statement for a delayed or continuous offering under Rule 415 of the Securities Act. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.3, if the underwriter(s) advise(s) the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten,

 

8


  then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that otherwise would be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among such Holders of Registrable Securities, including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each Holder or in such other proportion as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders; provided, however, that the number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting; provided, further, that Holders of Series F Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock shall not be affected by any such limitation until such time as the limitation shall have been applied to all other Holders of Registrable Securities. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares.

 

  (b)

Company Registration. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to Section 2.2, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Holders’ Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the Holders accept the reasonable terms of the underwriting (other than terms specific to such Holders’ and the Registrable Securities) as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by giving prompt written notice to the Company and the underwriter. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration unless such registration is a registration statement for a delayed or continuous offering under Rule 415 of the Securities Act. If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities to be sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and the Company in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering. If the underwriters determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated among the selling Holders in proportion (as nearly as practicable to) the number of Registrable Securities owned by each selling Holder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (i) the number of

 

9


  Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced unless all other securities (other than securities to be sold by the Company) are first entirely excluded from the offering, (ii) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced below twenty-five percent (25%) of the total number of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the IPO, in which case the selling Holders may be excluded further if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other stockholder’s securities are included in such offering, or (iii) notwithstanding (ii) above, any Registrable Securities which are not Key Holder Registrable Securities be excluded from such underwriting unless all Key Holder Registrable Securities are first excluded from such offering. For purposes of the provision in this Section 2.3(b) concerning apportionment, for any selling Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, the partners, members, retired partners, retired members, stockholders, and Affiliates of such Holder, or the estates and Immediate Family Members of any such partners, retired partners, members, and retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all Persons included in such “selling Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

  amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the written consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by any Holder by way of indemnity or contribution under Sections 2.8(b) and 2.8(d) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.

 

  (c)

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.8, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.8, to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.8.

 

  (d)

To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.8 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Section 2.8 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Section 2.8, then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses to which they may be

 

16


  subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case, (x) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement, and (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall a Holder’s liability pursuant to this Section 2.8(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Section 2.8(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by such Holder.

 

  (e)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

 

  (f)

Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration under this Section 2, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

  2.9

Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company shall:

 

  (a)

make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company for the IPO;

 

17


  (b)

use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements); and

 

  (c)

furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company for the IPO), the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies); and (ii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration (at any time after the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act) or pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies to use such form).

 

  2.10

Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of (a) the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, (b) the Series F Majority and (c) the Series G Majority enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that (i) would allow such holder or prospective holder to include such securities in any registration unless, under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the number of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included or (ii) would allow such holder or prospective holder to initiate a demand for registration of any securities held by such holder or prospective holder; provided that this limitation shall not apply to any additional Investor who becomes a party to this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.9.

 

  2.11

Market Stand-off Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, with respect to an IPO, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the registration by the Company and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days or, if the Company is not an emerging growth company as defined under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (1) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (2) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, applicable FINRA or NYSE rules), (i) lend; offer; pledge; sell; contract to sell; sell any option or contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase; or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly

 

18


  or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for Common Stock held immediately before the effective date of the registration statement for such offering or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.11 shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, any exceptions contained in the lock-up agreement for the offering, or the transfer of any shares to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Holder or the immediate family of the Holder, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, and shall be applicable to the Holders only if all officers and directors are subject to the same restrictions and the Company uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a similar agreement from all stockholders individually owning more than one percent (1%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (after giving effect to conversion into Common Stock of all outstanding Preferred Stock). The underwriters in connection with such registration are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 2.11 and shall have the right, power, and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with such registration that are consistent with this Section 2.11 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto, subject to the inclusion of customary exceptions in such agreements. Any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements by the Company or the underwriters shall apply pro rata to all Holders subject to such agreements, based on the number of shares subject to such agreements, except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the underwriters may, in their sole discretion, waive or terminate these restrictions with respect to up to eight hundred and fifty thousand (850,000) shares of the Common Stock, as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, combination, or other recapitalization or reclassification effected with respect to the Common Stock after the date hereof.

 

  2.12

Restrictions on Transfer.

 

  (a)

The Preferred Stock and the Registrable Securities shall not be sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred, and the Company shall not recognize and shall issue stop-transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to any such sale, pledge, or transfer, except upon the conditions specified in this Agreement, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act, or, following an IPO, pursuant to an effective registration statement or exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (a “Public Sale”). A transferring Holder will cause any proposed purchaser, pledgee, or transferee of the Preferred Stock and the Registrable Securities held by such Holder to agree to take and hold such securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this Agreement unless in a Public Sale.

 

19


  (b)

Prior to a Public Sale, each certificate or instrument representing (i) the Preferred Stock, (ii) the Registrable Securities, and (iii) any other securities issued in respect of the securities referenced in clauses (i) and (ii), upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or similar event, shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 2.12(c)) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR A VALID EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

The Holders consent to the Company making a notation in its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Restricted Securities in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.12.

 

  (c)

The holder of each certificate representing Restricted Securities, by acceptance thereof, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 2. Before any proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of any Restricted Securities, unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed transaction, the Holder thereof shall give notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to effect such sale, pledge, or transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer in sufficient detail and, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall be accompanied at such Holder’s expense by either (i) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall, and whose legal opinion shall, be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transaction may be effected without registration under the Securities Act; (ii) a “no action” letter from the SEC to the effect that the

 

20


  proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of such Restricted Securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the SEC that action be taken with respect thereto; or (iii) any other evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, whereupon the Holder of such Restricted Securities shall be entitled to sell, pledge, or transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice given by the Holder to the Company. The Company will not require such a legal opinion or “no action” letter (x) in any transaction in compliance with SEC Rule 144 or (y) in any transaction in which such Holder distributes Restricted Securities to an Affiliate of such Holder (including any trust for the benefit of such Holder or one or more of such Holder’s Immediate Family Members) for no consideration; provided that each transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 2.12. Each certificate or instrument evidencing the Restricted Securities transferred as above provided shall bear, except if such transfer is made pursuant to SEC Rule 144, the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in Section 2.12(b), except that such certificate shall not bear such restrictive legend if, in the opinion of counsel for such Holder and the Company, such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act.

 

  2.13

Alternative IPO Entities. In the event that the Company in its discretion elects to effect an underwritten registered offering of equity securities of any subsidiary or parent of the Company (collectively, “Alternative IPO Entities”) rather than the equity securities of the Company, whether as a result of a reorganization of the Company or otherwise, the Investors and the Company shall cause the Alternative IPO Entity to enter into an agreement with the Investors that provides the Investors with registration rights with respect to the equity securities of the Alternative IPO Entity that are substantially the same as, and in any event no less favorable in the aggregate to, the registration rights provided to the Investors in this Agreement.

 

  2.14

Termination of Registration Rights. The right of any Holder to request registration or inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 shall terminate upon the earlier of:

 

  (a)

the closing of a Deemed Liquidation Event, as such term is defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation; and

 

  (b)

the fifth (5th) anniversary of the IPO.

  (b)

By notification to the Company within twenty (20) days after the Offer Notice is given, each Major Investor may elect to purchase or otherwise acquire, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to that portion of such New Securities which equals the proportion that the Common Stock issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of the Preferred Stock and any other Derivative Securities then held, by such Major Investor bears to the total Common Stock of the Company then held by all the Major Investors (including all shares of Common Stock issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of the Preferred Stock and any other Derivative Securities then held by the Major Investors.

During the ten (10) day period commencing after the Company has given such notice, each Fully

 

25


  Exercising Investor may, by giving notice to the Company, elect to purchase or acquire, in addition to the number of shares specified above, up to that portion of the New Securities for which Major Investors were entitled to subscribe but that were not subscribed for by the Major Investors which is equal to the proportion that the Common Stock issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of Preferred Stock and any other Derivative Securities then held, by such Fully Exercising Investor bears to the Common Stock issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of the Preferred Stock and any other Derivative Securities then held, by all Fully Exercising Investors who wish to purchase such unsubscribed shares. The closing of any sale pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) shall occur within the later of one hundred and twenty (120) days of the date that the Offer Notice is given and the date of initial sale of New Securities pursuant to Section 4.1(c).

If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Major Investors in accordance with this Section 4.1.

  6.6

Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company and the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding; provided that the Company may in its sole discretion waive compliance with Section 2.12(c) (and the Company’s failure to object promptly in writing after notification of a proposed assignment allegedly in violation of Section 2.12(c) shall be deemed to be a waiver); and provided further that any provision hereof may be waived by any waiving party on such party’s own behalf, without the consent of any other party. The provisions of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, and 4 may be amended or waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company and the Major Investors holding a majority of the Registrable Securities that are held by all of the Major Investors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may not be amended or terminated and the observance of any term hereof may not be waived with respect to any Investor without the written consent of such Investor, unless such amendment, termination, or waiver applies to all Investors in the same fashion. Notwithstanding any waiver of any of

 

30


  the provisions of Section 4 above, in the event any Major Investor actually purchases New Securities in any offering by the Company, then each other Major Investor shall be permitted to participate in such offering on a pro rata basis (based on the level of participation of the Major Investor purchasing the largest portion of such Major Investor’s pro rata share). Further, (i) the provisos included in Section 1.17 regarding Industry Ventures, NextEquity and Springboard may not be modified or deleted without the written consent of Industry Ventures, NextEquity, or Springboard, respectively; (ii) Section 3.3(a) regarding Greenspring, may not be modified or deleted without the written consent of Greenspring, (iii) Sections 2.1(b), 2.1(d), 2.2, 2.3, 2.10, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 4.1, 5.1, 5.4, 5.6 and 5.8, this Section 6.6 and the definitions of any terms used in such sections shall not be modified, waived or deleted without the written consent of GHP; (iv) Sections 2.1(b), 2.1(d), 2.2, 2.3, 2.10, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 4.1, 5.1, 5.4, 5.6, and 5.8, this Section 6.6 and the definitions of any terms used in such sections shall not be modified, waived or deleted without the written consent of PWP; (v) Sections 5.6, and 5.8, this Section 6.6 and the definitions of any terms used in such sections shall not be modified, waived or deleted without the written consent of Greycroft; and (vi) this Agreement may not be amended, and no provision hereof may be waived, in each case, in any way which would adversely affect the rights of the Key Holders hereunder in a manner disproportionate to any adverse effect such amendment or waiver would have on the rights of the Investors hereunder, without also the written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities held by the Key Holders. The Company shall give prompt notice of any amendment or termination hereof or waiver hereunder to any party hereto that did not consent in writing to such amendment, termination, or waiver. Any amendment, termination, or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 6.6 shall be binding on all parties hereto, regardless of whether any such party has consented thereto.

  6.7

Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is for any reason held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be reformed and construed so that it will be valid, legal, and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

  6.8

Aggregation of Stock.

No action or consent by the Investors shall be required for such joinder to this Agreement by such additional Investor, so long as such additional Investor has agreed in writing to be bound by all of the obligations as an “Investor” hereunder.

 

  6.10

Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any Schedules and Exhibits hereto) constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly canceled.

2011 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

Amended by the Board and Stockholders on

July 3, 2012, May 31, 2013, March 27, 2014, December 18, 2014, February 19, 2015, March 25, 2015,

April 6, 2016, May 9, 2018 and December 5, 2018

1. Purposes of the Plan. The purposes of this Plan are:

 

   

to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility,

 

   

to provide additional incentive to Employees, Directors and Consultants, and

 

   

to promote the success of the Company’s business.

The Plan permits the grant of Incentive Stock Options, Nonstatutory Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.

2. Definitions. As used herein, the following definitions will apply:

(a) “Administrator” means the Committee, or if no committee is designated by the Board, the Board.

(b) “Applicable Laws” means the requirements relating to the administration of equity-based awards under U.S. state corporate laws, U.S. federal and state securities laws, the Code, state and local tax laws, any stock exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted and the applicable laws of any foreign country or jurisdiction where Awards are, or will be, granted under the Plan.

(c) “Award” means, individually or collectively, a grant under the Plan of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, or Restricted Stock Units.

(d) “Award Agreement” means the written or electronic agreement setting forth the terms and provisions applicable to each Award granted under the Plan. The Award Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

(e) “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.

(f) “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i) A change in the ownership of the Company which occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (“Person”), acquires ownership of the stock of the Company that, together with the stock held by such Person, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, except that any change in the ownership of the stock of the Company as a result of a private financing of the Company that is approved by the Board will not be considered a Change in Control; or


(ii) If the Company has a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, a change in the effective control of the Company which occurs on the date that a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any twelve (12) month period by Directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election. For purposes of this subsection (ii), if any Person is considered to be in effective control of the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same Person will not be considered a Change in Control; or

(iii) A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets which occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than fifty percent (50%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For purposes of this subsection (iii), gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.

For purposes of this Section 2(f), persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed a Change in Control unless the transaction qualifies as a change in control event within the meaning of Code Section 409A, as it has been and may be amended from time to time, and any proposed or final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance that has been promulgated or may be promulgated thereunder from time to time.

Further and for the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a Change in Control if: (i) its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation, or (ii) its sole purpose is to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction.

(g) “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Any reference to a section of the Code herein will be a reference to any successor or amended section of the Code.

(j) “Company” means The RealReal, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or any successor thereto.

(n) “Employee” means any person, including officers and Directors, employed by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company. Neither service as a Director nor payment of a director’s fee by the Company will be sufficient to constitute “employment” by the Company.

(o) “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(p) “Exchange Program” means a program under which (i) outstanding Awards are surrendered or cancelled in exchange for cash, Awards of the same type (which may have higher or lower exercise prices and different terms), or Awards of a different type, and/or (ii) Participants would have the opportunity to transfer any outstanding Awards to a financial institution or other person or entity selected by the Administrator, and/or (iii) the exercise price of an outstanding Award is reduced or increased. The Administrator will determine the terms and conditions of any Exchange Program in its sole discretion.

(q) “Fair Market Value” means, as of any date, the value of Common Stock determined as follows:

(i) If the Common Stock is listed on any established stock exchange or a national market system, including without limitation the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Capital Market of The Nasdaq Stock Market, its Fair Market Value will be the closing sales price for such stock (or the closing bid, if no sales were reported) as quoted on such exchange or system on the day of determination, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Administrator deems reliable;

(ii) If the Common Stock is regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not reported, the Fair Market Value of a Share will be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices for the Common Stock on the day of determination (or, if no bids and asks were reported on that date, as applicable, on the last trading date such bids and asks were reported), as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Administrator deems reliable; or

(iii) In the absence of an established market for the Common Stock, the Fair Market Value will be determined in good faith by the Administrator.

Such restrictions may be based on the passage of time, the achievement of target levels of performance, or the occurrence of other events as determined by the Administrator.

(x) “Plan” means this 2011 Equity Incentive Plan.

(y) “Restricted Stock” means Shares issued pursuant to an Award of Restricted Stock under Section 8 of the Plan, or issued pursuant to the early exercise of an Option.

(cc) “Stock Appreciation Right” means an Award, granted alone or in connection with an Option, that pursuant to Section 7 is designated as a Stock Appreciation Right.

(dd) “Subsidiary” means a “subsidiary corporation,” whether now or hereafter existing, as defined in Code Section 424(f).

3. Stock Subject to the Plan.

(a) Stock Subject to the Plan. Subject to the provisions of Section 13 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that are available for all Awards under the Plan is Twenty-Five Million Nine Hundred Seventy-Four Thousand Five Hundred Eleven (25,974,511) Shares. The Shares may be authorized but unissued Shares, reacquired Shares or a combination thereof.

 

-4-


(b) Lapsed Awards. If Shares subject to an outstanding Award are not issued or delivered or are returned to the Company by reason of (i) the expiration, termination, cancellation or forfeiture of such Award, (ii) the settlement of such Award in cash or (iii) the delivery or withholding of Shares to pay all or a portion of the exercise price of an Award, if any, or to satisfy all or a portion of the tax withholding obligations relating to an Award, then such Shares shall again be available under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated). With respect to Stock Appreciation Rights, only Shares actually issued pursuant to a Stock Appreciation Right will cease to be available under the Plan; all remaining Shares under Stock Appreciation Rights will remain available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated). Shares that have actually been issued under the Plan under any Award will not be returned to the Plan and will not again become available for Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that if Shares issued pursuant to Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units are repurchased by, or forfeited to, the Company due to the failure to vest, such Shares will become available for future grant under the Plan.

(c) Other Limits. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options will equal the aggregate Share number stated in Section 3(a), plus, to the extent allowable under Code Section 422 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, any Shares that become available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 3(b).

(d) Share Reserve. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

4. Administration of the Plan.

(a) Procedure. The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator. The Administrator may be comprised of different Committees with respect to different groups of Service Providers.

(b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator will have the authority, in its discretion:

(i) to determine the Fair Market Value;

(ii) to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may be granted hereunder;

(iii) to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;

(iv) to approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan;

(v) to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator will determine;

 

-5-


(vi) to institute and determine the terms and conditions of an Exchange Program;

(vii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards granted pursuant to the Plan;

(viii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws or for qualifying for favorable tax treatment under applicable foreign laws;

(ix) to modify or amend each Award (subject to Section 18(c) of the Plan), including but not limited to the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Awards and to extend the maximum term of an Option (subject to Section 6(d));

(x) to allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax obligations in a manner prescribed in Section 14;

(xi) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously granted by the Administrator;

(xii) to allow a Participant to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that otherwise would be due to such Participant under an Award (subject to Code Section 409A); and

(xiii) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.

(c) Effect of Administrator’s Decision. The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations will be final and binding on all Participants and any other holders of Awards.

5. Eligibility. Nonstatutory Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, and Restricted Stock Units may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.

6. Stock Options.

(a) Grant of Options. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Options in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

(b) Option Agreement. Each Award of an Option will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price, the term of the Option, the number of Shares subject to the Option, the exercise restrictions, if any, applicable to the Option, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

 

-6-


(c) Limitations. Each Option will be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. Notwithstanding such designation, however, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), such Options will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(c), Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, the Fair Market Value of the Shares will be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted, and calculation will be performed in accordance with Code Section 422 and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(d) Term of Option. The term of each Option will be stated in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that the term will be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option will be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.

(e) Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

(i) Exercise Price. The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option will be determined by the Administrator, but will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. In addition, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(ii) Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. The period during which an Option may be exercised shall be determined by the Administrator at the time an Option is granted; provided, however that no Option shall be exercised after the expiration of its term. The Administrator may, in its discretion, determine any other conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised.

(iii) Form of Consideration. The Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. Such consideration may consist entirely of: (1) cash; (2) check; (3) promissory note, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, (4) other Shares, provided that such Shares have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option will be exercised and provided further that accepting such Shares will not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion; (5) consideration received by the Company under cashless exercise program (whether through a broker or otherwise) implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan; (6) by net exercise, (7) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, or (8) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator will consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company.

 

-7-


(f) Exercise of Option.

(i) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted hereunder will be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

An Option will be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) notice of exercise (in such form as the Administrator may specify from time to time) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (together with applicable tax withholding). Full payment shall consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option will be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to the Shares subject to an Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company will issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan.

Exercising an Option in any manner will decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

(ii) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Participant’s termination as the result of the Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within thirty (30) days of termination, or such longer period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement) to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

(iii) Disability of Participant. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant’s Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within six (6) months of termination, or such longer period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement) to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

 

-8-


(iv) Death of Participant. If a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within six (6) months following the Participant’s death, or within such longer period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement) to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death, by the Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to the Participant’s death in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if at the time of death Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will immediately revert to the Plan. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

7. Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a) Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time as will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.

(b) Number of Shares. The Administrator will have complete discretion to determine the number of Shares subject to any Award of Stock Appreciation Rights.

(c) Exercise Price and Other Terms. The per Share exercise price for the Shares that will determine the amount of the payment to be received upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right as set forth in Section 7(f) will be determined by the Administrator and will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. Otherwise, the Administrator, subject to the provisions of the Plan, will have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan.

(d) Stock Appreciation Right Agreement. Each Stock Appreciation Right grant will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price, the term of the Stock Appreciation Right, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

(e) Exercise and Expiration of Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan will expire upon the date determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rules of Section 6(d) relating to the maximum term and Section 6(f) relating to exercise also will apply to Stock Appreciation Rights.

(f) Payment of Stock Appreciation Right Amount. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, a Participant will be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying:

 

-9-


(i) The difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price; times

(ii) The number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.

At the discretion of the Administrator, the payment upon Stock Appreciation Right exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.

8. Restricted Stock.

(a) Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

(b) Restricted Stock Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Stock will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Company as escrow agent will hold Shares of Restricted Stock until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed.

(c) Transferability. Except as provided in this Section 8 or as the Administrator determines, Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction.

(d) Other Restrictions. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock as it may deem advisable or appropriate.

(e) Removal of Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under the Plan will be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction or at such other time as the Administrator may determine, but in no event later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year in which the Period of Restriction lapses. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed.

(f) Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise.

(g) Dividends and Other Distributions. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares, unless the Administrator provides otherwise. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, the Shares will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.

 

-10-


(h) Return of Restricted Stock to Company. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed will revert to the Company and again will become available for grant under the Plan.

9. Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Grant. Restricted Stock Units may be granted at any time and from time to time as determined by the Administrator. After the Administrator determines that it will grant Restricted Stock Units, it will advise the Participant in an Award Agreement of the terms, conditions, and restrictions related to the grant, including the number of Restricted Stock Units.

(b) Vesting Criteria and Other Terms. The Administrator will set vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which the criteria are met, will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be paid out to the Participant. The Administrator may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of Company-wide, business unit, or individual goals (including, but not limited to, continued employment or service), or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion.

(c) Earning Restricted Stock Units. Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the Participant will be entitled to receive a payout as determined by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria that must be met to receive a payout.

(d) Form and Timing of Payment. Payment of earned Restricted Stock Units will be made at the time and in the form as set forth in the Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may settle earned Restricted Stock Units in cash, Shares, or a combination of both.

(e) Cancellation. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited to the Company.

10. Compliance With Code Section 409A. Awards will be designed and operated in such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Code Section 409A, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. The Plan and each Award Agreement under the Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A and will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. To the extent that an Award or payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Code Section 409A, the Award will be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Code Section 409A, such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Code Section 409A.

11. Leaves of Absence/Transfer Between Locations. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Awards granted hereunder will be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence. A Participant will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Company or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Parent, or any Subsidiary. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave

 

-11-


may exceed three (3) months, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed, then six (6) months following the first (1st) day of such leave, any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant will cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

12. Limited Transferability of Awards.

(a) Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, or otherwise transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award may only be transferred (i) by will, (ii) by the laws of descent and distribution, or (iii) as permitted by Rule 701 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

(b) Further, until the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or after the Administrator determines that it is, will, or may no longer be relying upon the exemption from registration under the Exchange Act as set forth in Rule 12h-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, an Option, or prior to exercise, the Shares subject to the Option, may not be pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred or disposed of, in any manner, including by entering into any short position, any “put equivalent position” or any “call equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) and Rule 16a-1(b) of the Exchange Act, respectively), other than to (i) persons who are “family members” (as defined in Rule 701(c)(3) of the Securities Act) through gifts or domestic relations orders, or (ii) to an executor or guardian of the Participant upon the death or disability of the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine to permit transfers to the Company or in connection with a Change in Control or other acquisition transactions involving the Company to the extent permitted by Rule 12h-1(f).

13. Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control.

(a) Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, will appropriately adjust the number and class of Shares available under the Plan, the number, class, and price of Shares subject to each outstanding Award, the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options or Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted during any fiscal year of the Company to any one grantee and the maximum number of Shares that may be awarded during any fiscal year of the Company to any one grantee pursuant to any Award that is subject to performance measures; provided, however, that (i) the Administrator will make such adjustments to an Award required by Section 25102(o) of the California Corporations Code to the extent the Company is relying upon the exemption afforded thereby with respect to the Award and (ii) such adjustments shall be made in the case of outstanding Awards consisting of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights in accordance with Code Section 409A. If any such adjustment would result in a fractional security being (a) available

 

-12-


under the Plan, such fractional security shall be disregarded, or (b) subject to an Award, the Company shall pay the holder of such Award, in connection with the first vesting, exercise or settlement of such award, in whole or in part, occurring after such adjustment, an amount in cash determined by multiplying (i) the fraction of such security (rounded to the nearest hundredth) by (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the Fair Market Value on the vesting, exercise or settlement date over (b) the exercise or base price, if any, of such award.

(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

(c) Merger or Change in Control. In the event of a merger or Change in Control, each outstanding Award will be treated as the Administrator (as constituted prior to such merger or Change in Control) may determine without a Participant’s consent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, in the event of a merger or Change in Control, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide that:

(i) Awards will be assumed, or substantially equivalent Awards, in its sole discretion, will be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;

(ii) all outstanding Awards, in whole or in part, shall be surrendered to the Company by the holder, and immediately cancelled by the Company, and to provide for the holder to receive (A) an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction the Administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment), (B) such other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion, or (C) a combination of (A) and (B);

(iii) all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights will immediately vest and become exercisable in full or in part, all restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will lapse, and with respect to Awards with performance-based vesting, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of target level and all other terms and conditions met, in whole or in part, prior to or upon consummation of such merger or Change in Control; and/or

(iv) any combination of the foregoing.

In taking any of the actions permitted under this subsection 13(c), the Administrator will not be obligated to treat all Awards, all Awards held by a Participant, or all Awards of the same type, similarly.

 

-13-


For the purposes of this subsection 13(c), an Award will be considered assumed if, following the merger or Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the merger or Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or upon the payout of a Restricted Stock Unit, for each Share subject to such Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or Change in Control.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13(c) to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such performance goals without the Participant’s consent; provided, however, a modification to such performance goals only to reflect the successor corporation’s post-Change in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13(c) to the contrary, if a payment under an Award Agreement is subject to Code Section 409A and if the change in control definition contained in the Award Agreement does not comply with the definition of “change of control” for purposes of a distribution under Code Section 409A, then any payment of an amount that is otherwise accelerated under this Section will be delayed until the earliest time that such payment would be permissible under Code Section 409A without triggering any penalties applicable under Code Section 409A.

14. Tax Withholding.

(a) Withholding Requirements. Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), the Company will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required to be withheld with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof).

(b) Withholding Arrangements. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part by (without limitation) (i) paying cash, (ii) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld, (iii) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the statutory amount required to be withheld, provided the delivery of such Shares will not result in any adverse accounting consequences, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion, or (iv) selling a sufficient number of Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant through such means as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the amount required to be withheld. The amount of the withholding requirement will be deemed to include any amount which the Administrator agrees may be withheld at the time the election is made, not to exceed the amount determined by using the maximum federal, state or local marginal income tax

 

-14-


rates applicable to the Participant with respect to the Award on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld. Any fraction of a Share which would be required to satisfy such an obligation shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash by the holder.

15. No Effect on Employment or Service. Neither the Plan nor any Award will confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continuing the Participant’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor will they interfere in any way with the Participant’s right or the Company’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

16. Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Award will be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination will be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

17. Term of Plan. Subject to Section 21 of the Plan, the Plan will become effective upon its adoption by the Board. Unless sooner terminated under Section 18, it will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the later of (a) the effective date of the Plan, or (b) the earlier of the most recent Board or stockholder approval of an increase in the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan.

18. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

(a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

(b) Stockholder Approval. The Company will obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.

(c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan will impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan will not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

19. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

(a) Legal Compliance. Shares will not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

(b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

 

-15-


20. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority will not have been obtained.

AGREEMENT

2.1 Grant of Option. The Administrator hereby grants to the Participant named in the Notice of Stock Option Grant in Part I of this Agreement (“Participant”), an option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the “Exercise Price”), and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.

If designated in the Notice of Stock Option Grant as an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”), this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Code Section 422; provided, however, that to the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Option is exercisable for the first time during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, as set forth in Code Section 422(d), this Option shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option (“NSO”). Further, if for any reason this Option (or portion thereof) shall not qualify as an ISO, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option (or portion thereof) shall be regarded as a NSO granted under the Plan. In no event shall the Administrator, the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary or any of their respective employees or directors have any liability to Participant (or any other person) due to the failure of the Option to qualify for any reason as an ISO.

2.2 Exercise of Option.

(a) Right to Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Stock Option Grant and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.

(b) Method of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice in the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”) or in a manner and pursuant to such procedures as the Administrator may determine, which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the whole number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company. The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares, together with any applicable tax withholding. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price, together with any applicable tax withholding.

No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless such issuance and such exercise comply with Applicable Laws. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred to Participant on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares.

2.3 Participant’s Representations. In the event the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time this Option is exercised, Participant shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of this Option, deliver to the Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

2.4 Lock-Up Period. Participant hereby agrees that Participant shall not offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company or enter into any swap, hedging or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by Participant (other than those included in the registration) for a period specified by the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days following the effective date of any registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act (or such other period as may be requested by the Company or the underwriters to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in NASD Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto).

Participant agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, Participant shall provide, within ten (10) days of such request, such information as may be required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act. The obligations described in this Section 4 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of said one hundred and eighty (180) day (or other) period. Participant agrees that any transferee of the Option or shares acquired pursuant to the Option shall be bound by this Section 4.

2.5 Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Participant:

(a) cash;

(b) check;

(c) consideration received by the Company under a formal cashless exercise program adopted by the Company in connection with the Plan; or

(d) surrender of other Shares which (i) shall be valued at its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, and (ii) must be owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, if accepting such Shares, in the sole discretion of the Administrator, shall not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company.

Any fraction of a Share which would be required to pay such the Exercise Price shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash by Participant.

2.6 Restrictions on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised until such time as the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, or if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any Applicable Law.

2.7 Non-Transferability of Option.

(a) This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Participant only by Participant. The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Participant.

(b) Further, until the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or after the Administrator determines that it is, will, or may no longer be relying upon the exemption from registration of Options under the Exchange Act as set forth in Rule 12h-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (the “Reliance End Date”), Participant shall not transfer this Option or, prior to exercise, the Shares subject to this Option, in any manner other than (i) to persons who are “family members” (as defined in Rule 701(c)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) through gifts or domestic relations orders, or (ii) to an executor or guardian of Participant upon the death or disability of Participant. Until the Reliance End Date, the Options and, prior to exercise, the Shares subject to this Option, may not be pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred or disposed of, including by entering into any short position, any “put equivalent position” or any “call equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) and Rule 16a-1(b) of the Exchange Act, respectively), other than as permitted in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph.

2.8 Term of Option. This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement.

2.9 Tax Obligations.

(a) Tax Withholding. Participant agrees to make appropriate arrangements with the Company (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Participant) for the satisfaction of all Federal, state, local and foreign income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable to the Option exercise. Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

(b) Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Option granted to Participant herein is an ISO, and if Participant sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (i) the date two (2) years after the Date of Grant, or (ii) the date one (1) year after the date of exercise, Participant shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition. Participant agrees that Participant may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by Participant.

(c) Code Section 409A. Under Code Section 409A, an Option that vests after December 31, 2004 (or that vested on or prior to such date but which was materially modified after October 3, 2004) that was granted with a per Share exercise price that is determined by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) to be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant (a “discount option”) may be considered “deferred compensation.” An Option that is a “discount option” may result in (i) income recognition by Participant prior to the exercise of the Option, (ii) an additional twenty percent (20%) federal income tax, (iii) potential penalty and interest charges and (iv) additional state income, penalty and interest tax to the Participant (“409A Penalties”). Participant acknowledges that the Company cannot and has not guaranteed that the IRS will agree that the per Share exercise price of this Option equals or exceeds the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant in a later examination. Participant agrees that if the IRS determines that the Option was granted with a per Share exercise price that was less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, Participant shall be solely responsible for Participant’s costs related to such a determination, including but not limited, to any 409A Penalties.

2.10 Agreement to Participate

(a) You hereby agree that, in the event a Change in Control transaction is approved by the Board and requisite vote of the stockholders, and upon written notice from the Company pursuant to Section 10(h) below (the “Participation Notice”), you will (i) vote all shares then held by you, including the shares of Common Stock you acquired upon the exercise of your option pursuant to this Stock Option Agreement or upon the exercise or conversion of any options, warrants or other convertible securities (collectively, the “Subject Shares”), in favor of such Change in Control, and (ii) to sell or exchange all shares then held by you pursuant to the terms and conditions of such Change in Control, subject to the following conditions:

(b) you will not be required in your capacity as a shareholder to make any representation, covenant or warranty in connection with such Change in Control, other than as to your ownership and authority to sell, exchange or otherwise transfer the Subject Shares in such Change in Control, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances;

 

5


(c) the consideration payable with respect to each share in each class or series of capital stock of the Company as a result of such Change in Control is the same (except for cash payments in lieu of fractional shares) as for each other share in such class or series;

(d) each class and series of capital stock of the Company will be entitled to receive the same form of consideration (and be subject to the same indemnity and escrow provisions) as a result of such Change in Control; and

(e) each holder of shares of a series of Preferred Stock will receive the same amount of consideration per share of such series of Preferred Stock and each holder of shares of Common Stock will receive the same amount of consideration per share of Common Stock; and unless the holders of each series of Preferred Stock agree otherwise by legally sufficient amendment or waiver of the provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation then in effect, the aggregate consideration receivable by all holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock shall be allocated among the holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock in the basis of the relative liquidation preferences to which the holders of each respective series of Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock are entitled in a deemed liquidation event (assuming for this purpose that the Change in Control is a deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as may be amended from time to time) in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control. The provisions of this Section 10(e) shall not be deemed to require any holder to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise approve a Change in Control transaction that would not allocate the consideration in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.

(f) If the Change in Control is structured as a stock sale or exchange (a “Stock Sale”), then you hereby agree to sell or otherwise transfer to the acquiring entity in such Stock Sale a number of your Subject Shares equal to (i) your Pro Rata Percentage (as defined below), multiplied by (ii) the aggregate number of shares of capital stock of the Company that the acquiring entity desires to purchase. The consideration received pursuant to such transaction shall be allocated among the parties thereto in the manner specified in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation in effect immediately prior to the Stock Sale (as if such transaction were a deemed Liquidation Event). As used in this Section 10(f), “Pro Rata Percentage” means, at any time, the percentage obtained by dividing (a) the number of Subject Shares held by you at such time, by (b) the aggregate number of Common Stock Equivalents held by all stockholders at such time; and “Common Stock Equivalents” means all shares of Common Stock of the Company, including all shares of Preferred Stock converted or convertible into shares of Common Stock and all options, warrants, and other securities converted into or exercised for shares of Common Stock prior to the Change in Control.

(g) You further agree that with respect to any Change in Control approved in accordance with Section 10(a), to (i) refrain from exercising dissenters’ rights or other similar statutory rights of appraisal (if any), and (ii) execute and deliver such instruments and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the acquiring entity to effect such Change in Control, and (iii) refrain from entering into any agreement or understanding (including any proxy or voting trust) that would be inconsistent with, or violate the provisions, of this Section 10(g).

 

6


(h) The Participation Notice shall include: (i) a summary of the material terms of the proposed Change in Control; (ii) information relating to any shareholder meeting or action by written consent and instructions with respect to the voting of your Subject Shares as required pursuant to Section 10(a); and (iii) such other information as the Board shall determine as necessary or appropriate.

The Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Participant’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Participant. This Agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws but not the choice of law rules of California.

Until the issuance of the Shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Common Stock subject to an Award, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Shares shall be issued to Participant as soon as practicable after the Option is exercised in accordance with the Option Agreement. No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan.

2.5 Companys Right of First Refusal. Before any Shares held by Participant or any transferee (either being sometimes referred to herein as the “Holder”) may be sold or otherwise transferred (including transfer by gift or operation of law), the Company or its assignee(s) shall have a right of first refusal to purchase the Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5 (the “Right of First Refusal”).

(a) Notice of Proposed Transfer. The Holder of the Shares shall deliver to the Company a written notice (the “Notice”) stating: (i) the Holder’s bona fide intention to sell or otherwise transfer such Shares; (ii) the name of each proposed purchaser or other transferee (“Proposed Transferee”); (iii) the number of Shares to be transferred to each Proposed Transferee; and (iv) the bona fide cash price or other consideration for which the Holder proposes to transfer the Shares (the “Offered Price”), and the Holder shall offer the Shares at the Offered Price to the Company or its assignee(s).

(b) Exercise of Right of First Refusal. At any time within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may, by giving written notice to the Holder, elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares proposed to be transferred to any one or more of the Proposed Transferees, at the purchase price determined in accordance with subsection (c) below.

(c) Purchase Price. The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the Shares purchased by the Company or its assignee(s) under this Section 5 shall be the Offered Price. If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith.

(d) Payment. Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made, at the option of the Company or its assignee(s), in cash (by check), by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Holder to the Company (or, in the case of repurchase by an assignee, to the assignee), or by any combination thereof within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice or in the manner and at the times set forth in the Notice.

(e) Holder’s Right to Transfer. If all of the Shares proposed in the Notice to be transferred to a given Proposed Transferee are not purchased by the Company and/or its assignee(s) as provided in this Section 5, then the Holder may sell or otherwise transfer such Shares to that Proposed Transferee at the Offered Price or at a higher price, provided that: (i) the transfer is made only on the terms provided for in the notice, with the exception of the purchase price, which may be either the price listed in the notice or any higher price; (ii) such transfer is consummated within 60 days after the date the notice is delivered to the Company; (iii) the transfer is effected in accordance with any applicable securities laws, and if requested by the Company, the Holder shall have delivered an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company to that effect; and (iv) the Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this Section shall continue to apply to the transferred Shares in the hands of such Proposed Transferee. If any Shares described in a notice are not transferred to the Proposed Transferee within the period provided above, then before any such Shares may be transferred, a new Notice shall be given to the Company, and the Company and/or its assignees shall again be offered the right of first refusal described in this Section.

(f) Exception for Certain Family Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Section, the transfer of any or all of the Shares during the Holder’s lifetime or on the Holder’s death by will or intestacy to the Holder’s spouse or domestic partner, child, father, mother, brother, sister, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, grandfather, grandmother, grandchild, cousin, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, stepchild, or to a trust or other similar estate planning vehicle for the benefit of the Holder or any such person, shall be exempt from the provisions of this Section; provided that, in each such case, the transferee shall agree in writing to receive and hold the Shares so transferred subject to all of the provisions of this Option Agreement, including but not limited to this Section, and there shall be no further transfer of such Shares except in accordance with the terms of this Section.

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT

 

PARTICIPANT    :    «Name»
COMPANY    :    The RealReal, Inc.
SECURITY    :    COMMON STOCK
AMOUNT    :    _________________ shares
DATE    :   

In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Participant represents to the Company the following:

(a) Participant is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Participant is acquiring these Securities for investment for Participant’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

(b) Participant acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Participant’s investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Participant understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if Participant’s representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one (1) year or any other fixed period in the future. Participant further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Participant further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. Participant understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities shall be imprinted with any legend required under applicable state securities laws.

(c) Participant is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to Participant, the exercise shall be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, ninety (90) days thereafter (or such

 

A-1


longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified by Rule 144, including in the case of affiliates (1) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (2) the amount of Securities being sold during any three (3) month period not exceeding specified limitations, (3) the resale being made in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction”, transactions directly with a “market maker” or “riskless principal transactions” (as those terms are defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.

In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Option, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which may require (i) the availability of current public information about the Company; (ii) the resale to occur more than a specified period after the purchase and full payment (within the meaning of Rule 144) for the Securities; and (iii) in the case of the sale of Securities by an affiliate, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in sections (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above.

(d) Participant further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption shall be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 shall have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Participant understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption shall be available in such event.

(i) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank agrees to make one (1) or more term loans to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (each a “Term Loan” and collectively the “Term Loans”).

2.2 Intentionally Left Blank.

2.3 Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations.

(a) Interest Rates.

(i) Term Loans. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), the Term Loans shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at a variable annual rate equal to the greater of: (A) 1.50% above the Prime Rate then in effect, provided that such variable annual rate may not exceed 5.25%; or (B) 4.75%.

(b) Late Fee; Default Rate. If any payment is not made within 15 days after the date such payment is due, Borrower shall pay Bank a late fee equal to the lesser of (i) [***]% of the amount of such unpaid amount or (ii) the maximum amount permitted to be charged under applicable law. All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to [***] percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default.

(c) Payments. Bank shall charge all interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of Borrower’s deposit accounts.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately apply any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment Bank may receive to conditionally reduce Obligations, but such applications of funds shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is

 

TheRealReal, Inc. LSA   2  


honored when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by Bank after 5:30 p.m. Eastern time shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.

After the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses, as and when they become due.

2.6 Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date and, subject to Section 12.7, shall continue in full force and effect for so long as any Obligations (other than Surviving Obligations) remain outstanding or Bank has any obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall have the right to terminate its obligation to make Credit Extensions under this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

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

4.2 Perfection of Security Interest. Borrower authorizes Bank to file at any time financing statements, continuation statements, and amendments thereto that (i) either specifically describe the Collateral or describe the Collateral as all assets of Borrower of the kind pledged hereunder, and (ii) contain any other information required by the Code for the sufficiency of filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement, or amendment, including whether Borrower is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to Borrower, if applicable. Borrower shall have possession of the Collateral, except where expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or where Bank chooses to perfect its security interest by possession in addition to the filing of a financing statement. Where Collateral is in possession of a third party bailee, Borrower shall take such steps as Bank reasonably requests for Bank to (i) subject to Section 7.10 below, obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, of the bailee that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of Bank, and (ii) obtain “control” of any Collateral consisting of investment property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights or electronic chattel paper (as such items and the term “control” are defined in Revised Article 9 of the Code) by causing the securities intermediary or depositary institution or issuing bank to execute a control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Bank. Borrower will not create any chattel paper without placing a legend on the chattel paper acceptable to Bank indicating that Bank has a security interest in the chattel paper. Borrower from time to time may deposit with Bank specific cash collateral to secure specific Obligations; Borrower authorizes Bank to hold such specific balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any request by Borrower or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any part of such balances for so long as the specific Obligations are outstanding. Borrower shall take such other actions as Bank reasonably requests to perfect its security interests granted under this Agreement.

4.3 Consignment Arrangement. Bank acknowledges and agrees that Borrower is an online luxury resale store in the business of having possession of, and preparing and offering for sale, consumer goods owned by third party consignors, including, without limitation, clothing, handbags, shoes, watches, art, jewelry, leather, goods, and accessories. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all items consigned to Borrower for the purpose of sale are neither Inventory nor Collateral.

Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

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

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

5.3 Collateral. Borrower has rights in or the power to transfer the Collateral, and its title to the Collateral is free and clear of Liens, adverse claims, and restrictions on transfer or pledge except for Permitted Liens. Other than movable items of personal property such as laptop computers, all Collateral having an aggregate book value not in excess of $[***], is located solely in the Collateral States. All Inventory is in all material respects of good and merchantable quality, free from all material defects, except for Inventory for which adequate reserves have been made. Except as set forth in the Schedule, none of Borrower’s Cash is maintained or invested in violation of Section 6.6.

5.4 Intellectual Property.

To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, each of the Copyrights, Trademarks and Patents created or purchased by Borrower is valid and enforceable, and no part of the intellectual property created or purchased by Borrower has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been made to Borrower that any part of the intellectual property created or purchased by Borrower violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

5.5 Name; Location of Chief Executive Office. Except as disclosed in the Schedule, Borrower has not done business under any name other than that specified on the signature page hereof, and its exact legal name is as set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement.

5.7 No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements. All consolidated and consolidating financial statements related to Borrower and any Subsidiary that are delivered by Borrower to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated and consolidating financial condition as of the date thereof and Borrower’s consolidated and consolidating results of operations for the period then ended.

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

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

5.10 Subsidiaries. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities of any Person, except for Permitted Investments.

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

5.12 Inbound Licenses. Except as disclosed on the Schedule, Borrower is not a party to, nor is bound by, any material license or other agreement important for the conduct of Borrower’s business that prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a security interest in Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement or any other property important for the conduct of Borrower’s business, other than this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

 

TheRealReal, Inc. LSA   7  


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

Beginning in 2014, Borrower’s quarterly Net Revenue, measured as of the last day of each calendar quarter, shall be not less than an agreed-upon Minimum Quarterly Net Revenue for such calendar quarter. Bank and Borrower hereby agree that, on or before January 15 of each year during the term of this Agreement, Borrower shall provide Bank with a board-approved budget for such year containing a forecast of Net Revenues for each calendar quarter during such year, and, unless such budget is unsatisfactory to Bank, the minimum quarterly Net Revenue for a particular quarter during such year shall be [***]% of the forecasted Net Revenue for such quarter. If such budget is unsatisfactory to Bank, then Bank and Borrower agree to discuss alternate levels. It shall be a violation by Borrower of this Section 6.7(a) if, following a reasonable period of discussion, Bank and Borrower fail to agree to minimum quarterly Net Revenue covenant levels for such year.

9. BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, at its election, without notice of its election and without demand, do any one or more of the following to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, all of which are authorized by Borrower:

(a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 (insolvency), all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

TheRealReal, Inc. LSA   16  


(h) (i) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower’s premises) as Bank determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate; (ii) Bank may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral; and (iii) Bank may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If Bank sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Bank, and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. If the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Bank may resell the Collateral and Borrower shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale;

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

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

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

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

9.2 Power of Attorney. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any of Bank’s designated officers, or employees) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify account debtors of Bank’s security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Bank’s possession; (c) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account debtors; (d) dispose of any Collateral to the extent authorized elsewhere in this Agreement; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to Borrower’s policies of insurance; (0 settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; and (g) file, in its sole discretion, one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral; provided Bank may exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of Borrower on any of the documents described in clause (g) above, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. The appointment of Bank as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and each and every one of Bank’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations (other than Surviving Obligations) have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Term Loans hereunder is terminated.

 

TheRealReal, Inc. LSA   17  


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

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

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

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

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

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

10. NOTICES.

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

Jurisdiction shall lie in the State of California. All disputes, controversies, claims, actions and similar proceedings arising with respect to Borrower’s account or any related agreement or transaction shall be brought in the Superior Court of San Mateo County, California or the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, except as provided below with respect to arbitration of such matters.

TheRealReal, Inc. LSA   19  


THEM, AFTER CONSULTING OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR CHOICE, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT ANY OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENT OR LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTION OF ANY OF THEM. THESE PROVISIONS SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY RESPECT OR RELINQUISHED BY BANK OR BORROWER, EXCEPT BY A WRITTEN INSTRUMENT EXECUTED BY EACH OF THEM. If the jury waiver set forth in this Section 11 is not enforceable, then any dispute, controversy, claim, action or similar proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated therein shall be settled by final and binding arbitration held in San Mateo County, California in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association by one arbitrator appointed in accordance with those rules. The arbitrator shall apply California law to the resolution of any dispute, without reference to rules of conflicts of law or rules of statutory arbitration. Judgment upon any award resulting from arbitration may be entered into and enforced by any state or federal court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for preliminary or interim equitable relief, or to compel arbitration in accordance with this Section. The costs and expenses of the arbitration, including without limitation, the arbitrator’s fees and expert witness fees, and reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the parties to the arbitration may be awarded to the prevailing party, in the discretion of the arbitrator, or may be apportioned between the parties in any manner deemed appropriate by the arbitrator. Unless and until the arbitrator decides that one party is to pay for all (or a share) of such costs and expenses, both parties shall share equally in the payment of the arbitrator’s fees as and when billed by the arbitrator.

12. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

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

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing indemnity shall exclude Bank’s direct credit losses on credit facilities between Borrower and Bank; provided that such exclusion shall in no way diminish Bank’s rights of repayment or any other rights established elsewhere in this Agreement.

12.7 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Obligations (other than Surviving Obligations) remain outstanding or Bank has any obligation to make any Term Loan to Borrower.

12.8 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, Bank and Borrower and all employees and agents of such party shall exercise the same degree of care that such party exercises with respect to its own proprietary information of the same types (but not less than a reasonable standard of care) to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information thereby received or received pursuant to this Agreement except that disclosure of such information may be made on a need to know basis (i) in the case of Bank, to the subsidiaries or Affiliates of Bank in connection with their present or prospective business relations with Borrower, (ii) in the case of Bank, to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions, provided that they have entered into a comparable confidentiality agreement in favor of Borrower and have delivered a copy to Borrower, (iii) as required by law, regulations, rule or order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order, (iv) in the case of Bank, as may be necessary in

Tenant shall pay the Rent promptly when due without notice or demand therefor and without any abatement, deduction or setoff for any reason whatsoever, except as may be expressly provided in this Lease. If Tenant makes any payment to Landlord by check, same shall be by check of Tenant and Landlord shall not be required to accept the check of any other Person, and any check received by Landlord shall be deemed received subject to collection. If any check is mailed by Tenant, Tenant shall post such check in sufficient time prior to the date when payment is due so that such check will be received by Landlord on or before the date when payment is due. Tenant shall assume the risk of lateness or failure of delivery of the mails, and no lateness or failure of the mails will excuse Tenant from its obligation to have made the payment in question when required under this Lease.

3.03. No payment by Tenant or receipt or acceptance by Landlord of a lesser amount than the correct Rent shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance or pursue any other remedy in this Lease or at law provided.

3.04. If Tenant is in arrears in payment of Rent, Tenant waives Tenant’s right, if any, to designate the items to which any payments made by Tenant are to be credited, and Landlord may apply any payments made by Tenant to such items as Landlord sees fit, irrespective of and notwithstanding any designation or request by Tenant as to the items to which any such payments shall be credited.

3.05. In the event that any installment of Rent due hereunder shall be overdue, a “Late Charge” equal to [***] or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less for Rent so overdue may be charged by Landlord for each month or part thereof that the same remains overdue (“Late Payment Rate”). In the event that any check tendered by Tenant to Landlord is returned for insufficient funds, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to the charge imposed by the preceding sentence, a fee of $[***]. Any such Late Charges if not previously paid shall, at the option of the Landlord, be added to and become part of the next succeeding Rent payment to be made hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing and without waiving any other rights of Landlord in this Agreement, the Late Charge shall be waived for the first time in each calendar year that the Tenant fails to make a payment of Rent on a timely basis, provided such late payment is received by Landlord within seven (7) days of the date that such payment of Rent is due and owing and provided further that Tenant is in compliance with all other terms of the Lease.

3.06. It is intended that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease to the contrary, the Fixed Rent shall be an absolutely net return to Landlord throughout the Term, free of any expense, charge or other deduction whatsoever, with respect to the Demised Premises, the Building, the Land and/or the ownership, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, repair, rebuilding, use or occupation thereof, or any portion thereof, with respect to any interest of Landlord therein.

4.01. Tenant shall use and occupy the Demised Premises for the Permitted Uses, and Tenant shall not use or permit or suffer the use of the Demised Premises or any part thereof for any other purpose.

4.02. Subject to Landlord’s obligation to perform Landlord’s Work and deliver to Tenant a Certificate of Continued Occupancy, and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease with respect to Landlord’s obligations, if any, to perform alterations and improvements required by Legal Requirements or otherwise, any governmental license or permit, including a certificate of occupancy or certificate of continued occupancy (a “Certificate of Occupancy”), shall be required for the proper and lawful conduct of Tenant’s business in the Demised Premises or any part thereof, Tenant shall duly procure and thereafter maintain such license or permit and submit the same to Landlord for inspection. Tenant shall at all times comply with the terms and conditions of each such license or permit. Tenant shall not at any time use or occupy, or suffer or permit anyone to use or occupy the Demised Premises, or do or permit anything to be done in the Demised Premises, in any manner which (a) violates the Certificate of Occupancy for the Demised Premises or for the Building; (b) causes or is liable to cause injury to the Building or any equipment, facilities or systems therein; (c) constitutes a violation of the Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements; (d) impairs the character, reputation or appearance of the Building; or (e) impairs the proper and economic maintenance, operation and repair of the Building and/or its equipment, facilities or systems.

4.03. Tenant shall not conduct any warehouse sale at the Demised Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent. Provided Tenant is not in default of its monetary or any other material non-monetary obligations under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold its consent to not more than three (3) warehouse sales in any consecutive twelve (12) month period. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as an Additional Charge, an amount equal to [***] of Gross Receipts (as hereinafter defined) from any warehouse sale conducted at the Demised Premises, payable within fifteen (15) days after the warehouse sale. Tenant shall comply, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense with all Legal Requirements with respect to any warehouse sale. Any warehouse sale conducted by Tenant shall be not more than four (4) consecutive days in duration. As used herein Gross Receipts shall mean the dollar aggregate of: (a) the actual sales price of all goods and merchandise sold, leased or licensed and the charges for all services performed by Tenant or otherwise in connection with all business conducted at such warehouse sale, whether made for cash, by check, credit or otherwise, without reserve or deduction for inability or failure to collect the same, including, without limitation, sales and services (i) where the orders therefor originate at or are accepted at or from the Demised Premises, whether delivery or performance thereof is made at or from the Demised Premises or any other place, it being understood that all sales made and orders received at or from the Demised Premises shall be deemed to have been made and completed therein even though the orders are fulfilled elsewhere or the payments of account are transferred to some other office for collection, and (ii) where the orders therefor result from solicitation off the Demised Premises but which are conducted by personnel operating from or reporting to or under the control or supervision of any person at the Demised Premises, and (b) all monies or other things of value received by Tenant from its operations at the Demised Premises (which are not excluded from Gross Receipts by the next succeeding sentence) including all finance charges, cost of gift or

 

9


merchandise certificates and all deposits not refunded to customers. Gross Receipts shall not include (x) the exchange of merchandise between stores of Tenant where such exchange is made solely for the convenient operation of Tenant’s business and neither for the purpose of depriving Landlord of the benefits of a sale which would otherwise be made at or from the Demised Premises nor for the purpose of consummating a sale which has been theretofore made at or from the Demised Premises, or (y) the amount of any city, county, state or federal sales tax, luxury tax or excise tax on sales if the tax is added to the selling price and separately stated and actually paid to the taxing authority by Tenant; provided, however, no franchise or capital stock tax and no income or similar tax based upon income, profits or Gross Receipts shall be deducted from Gross Receipts in any event whatsoever. Cash or credit refunds made upon transactions included within the Gross Receipts, but not exceeding the selling price of merchandise returned by the purchaser and accepted by Tenant, shall be deducted from the Gross Receipts for the period when such refunds are made. Each charge or sale upon installment or credit or layaway, so called, shall be treated as a sale for the full price irrespective of the time when Tenant shall receive payment from its customer. For purposes of this paragraph (i) the word “Tenant” shall include any of Tenant’s subtenants, concessionaires and licensees and (ii) sales by Tenant made in its ordinary course of business which merely occur at the same time as the so-called warehouse sale shall not be included in Gross Receipts.

ARTICLE 5 - PREPARATION OF DEMISED PREMISES

5.01. (a) The Demised Premises shall be completed and prepared for Tenant’s occupancy by Landlord at Landlord’s sole cost and expense in the manner described in, and subject to the provisions of Exhibit C. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, the taking of possession by Tenant of the Demised Premises shall be conclusive evidence as against Tenant that the Demised Premises and the Building were in good and satisfactory condition at the time such possession was taken. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant is leasing the Demised Premises “as is” on the date hereof, subject to reasonable wear and tear.

(b) (i) Except for Landlord’s Work or as otherwise provided in this Lease to the contrary, (a) Landlord shall deliver the Demised Premises to Tenant in “as is” condition, and (b) Tenant shall be responsible for all construction and work to prepare the Demised Premises for Tenant’s occupancy at Tenant’s cost and expense. Such construction shall be in accordance with Section 36.09 of this Lease. Prior to performing any work in the Demised Premises, Tenant shall, within seven (7) Business Days of the date thereof submit to Landlord for approval final plans and specifications for all construction work in the Demised Premises including, but not limited to layout, mechanical, electrical and plumbing plans and finish schedules (“Plans and Specifications”). Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its approval for construction work which is non-structural in nature and does not involve or affect the mechanical systems of the Demised Premises. Tenant shall employ licensed architect(s) and/or engineer(s) for the preparation of the Plans and Specifications. Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s approval or disapproval of such Plans and Specifications within ten (10) Business Days of Landlord’s receipt thereof. If Landlord disapproves, Landlord shall specify the reasons for disapproval with reasonable specificity and Tenant shall resubmit revised Plans and Specifications that correct such items. The foregoing procedure shall be repeated, if requested by Tenant up to three (3) times, until Landlord approves the Plans and Specifications. If Landlord shall fail to provide notice of its approval or disapproval of any Plans and Specifications or resubmitted Plans and Specifications within the required period, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the Plans and Specifications if Tenant notifies Landlord of this deemed approval provisions in each such request for approval.

(ii) Tenant shall obtain and provide all design and architectural services necessary to perform Tenant’s Work and shall be responsible for complying with all building codes and Legal Requirements in connection with Tenant’s Work, prior to commencing any work in the Demised Premises. Tenant shall obtain a new permanent certificate of occupancy or continued certificate of occupancy, as applicable, for the Permitted Uses at the Demised Premises as may be required in connection with Tenant’s Work. The construction of the Demised Premises shall be performed in a first class workmanlike manner. At all times when Tenant’s Work is in progress and prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall maintain or cause to be maintained the insurance coverage required under Section 13.02.

(iii) Tenant shall be solely responsible for the structural integrity of Tenant’s Work and for the adequacy or sufficiency of the Plans and Specifications and all the improvements depicted thereon or covered thereby, and Landlord’s consent thereto, approval thereof, or incorporation therein of any of its recommendations shall in no way diminish Tenant’s responsibility therefor or reduce or mitigate Tenant’s liability in connection therewith. Landlord shall have no obligations or liabilities by reason of this Lease in connections with the performance of construction or of the finish, decorating or installation work performed by Tenant, or on its behalf, or in connection with the contracts for the performance thereof entered into by Tenant. Any warranties extended or available to Tenant in connection with the aforesaid work shall be for the benefit also of Landlord. Tenant further agrees that once it commences construction, it shall diligently and continuously proceed with construction to completion.

5.02. Subject to Rider Paragraph R22, if the substantial completion of the Landlord’s Work shall be delayed (any such delay, a “Tenant Delay”) solely due to (a) any act or omission of Tenant or any of its employees, agents or contractors (including, without limitation, i any delays due to changes in or additions to the Landlord’s Work required by Tenant, or ii any delays by Tenant in the submission of plans, drawings, specifications or other information or in approving any working drawings or estimates or in giving any authorizations or approvals), or (b) any additional time needed for the completion of the Landlord’s Work by the inclusion in the Landlord’s Work of any items specified by Tenant that require long lead time for delivery or installation, then Landlord’s Work shall be deemed substantially complete on the date when they would have been ready but for such Tenant Delay. The Demised Premises shall be conclusively presumed to be in satisfactory condition on the Commencement Date except for the minor or insubstantial details of finish work or mechanical adjustment that do not interfere in any material manner with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Demised Premises, other than to a de minimis extent (such minor or insubstantial details, “Punchlist Work”), which Tenant gives Landlord notice within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s delivery of possession of the Demised Premises to Tenant with all of Landlord’s Work substantially completed. Tenant’s notice shall specify such Punchlist Work with reasonable particularity. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete all Punchlist Work within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s delivery of its notice thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant shall notify Landlord within one (1) year of the substantial completion of Landlord’s Work (except one year from completion of the Punchlist Work with respect to such Punchlist Work) of any defects in Landlord’s Work, Landlord shall promptly remedy such defects at its sole cost and expense.

ARTICLE 6 - TAX AND OPERATING EXPENSE PAYMENTS

6.01. From and after July 1, 2014, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as hereinafter provided, the Real Estate Taxes. If any portion of the Building shall be exempt from all or any part of the Real Estate Taxes, then for the period of time when such exemption is in effect, the Floor Space on such exempt portion shall be excluded when making the above computations in respect of the part of the Real Estate Taxes for which such portion shall be exempt. Landlord shall estimate the annual amount of the Real Estate Taxes (which estimate may be changed by Landlord at any time and from time to time), and Tenant shall pay to Landlord 1/12th of the amount so estimated on the first day of each month in advance. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord on demand from time to time the amount which, together with said monthly installments, will be sufficient in Landlord’s reasonable estimation to pay any Real Estate Taxes thirty (30) days prior to the date when such Real Estate Taxes shall first become due. When the amount of any item comprising Real Estate Taxes is finally determined for a real estate fiscal tax year, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement in reasonable detail of the same accompanied by copies of the applicable tax bills, and the figures used for computing the same, and if the amount so stated is more or less than the amount theretofore paid by Tenant for such item based on Landlord’s estimate, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the deficiency within thirty (30) days after submission of such statement, or Landlord shall, at its sole election, either refund to Tenant the excess or apply same to future installments of Real Estate Taxes due hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Lease shall expire or be sooner terminated before any such excess has been fully recovered by Tenant, Landlord shall pay the remainder of the excess to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, which obligation shall survive any such expiration or termination. Any Real Estate Taxes for a real estate fiscal tax year, a part of which is included within the Term and a part of which is not so included, shall be apportioned on the basis of the number of days in the real estate fiscal tax year included in the Term, and the real estate fiscal tax year for any improvement assessment will be deemed to be the one-year period commencing on the date when such assessment is due, except that if any improvement assessment is payable in installments, the real estate fiscal tax year for each installment will be deemed to be the one-year period commencing on the date when such installment is due. The above computations shall be made by Landlord in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Floor Space referred to will be based upon the average of the Floor Space in existence on the first day of each month during the period in question. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible for any increase in Real Estate Taxes attributable to assessments for improvements installed by or for the account of Tenant at the Demised Premises. If the Demised Premises are not separately assessed, the amount of any such increase shall be determined by reference to the records of the tax assessor.

6.02. From and after July 1, 2014, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Operating Expenses within twenty (20) days after Landlord submits to Tenant an invoice for the Operating Expenses.

6.03. Each such statement given by Landlord pursuant to Section 6.01 or Section 6.02 shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless within 90 days after the receipt of such statement Tenant shall notify Landlord that it disputes the correctness of the statement, specifying the particular respects in which the statement is claimed to be incorrect. If such dispute is not

 

12


settled by agreement, either party may submit the dispute to arbitration as provided in Article 33. Pending the determination of such dispute by agreement or arbitration as aforesaid, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement, pay the Additional Charges in accordance with Landlord’s statement, without prejudice to Tenant’s position. If the dispute shall be determined in Tenant’s favor, Landlord shall forthwith pay to Tenant the amount of Tenant’s overpayment resulting from compliance with Landlord’s statement.

6.04. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall have no obligation to pay Real Estate Taxes or Operating Expenses that accrue with respect to any period that predates the Rent Commencement Date.

6.05. Provided Tenant is not in default of monetary or any other material non-monetary obligations under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord, to examine Landlord’s records relating to Operating Expenses of the Demised Premises for no more than one day per Calendar Year. Landlord shall make records available for examination at Landlord’s principal office during Landlord’s normal business days and normal business hours. If any such review discloses that Operating Expenses were overstated by Landlord, Landlord shall promptly refund or credit to Tenant any such excess. This provision shall not be deemed to give Tenant the right to offset or deduct or withhold payment of Rent. No subtenant shall have the right to conduct an examination and no assignee shall conduct an inspection for any period during which such assignee was not in possession of the Demised Premises. In the event Tenant elects to exercise an inspection of Landlord’s records relating to Operating Expenses of the Demised Premises in accordance with this Section 6.05, such inspection must be conducted by an independent nationally recognized accounting firm that is not being compensated by Tenant on a contingency fee basis and Tenant and such firm agree to keep all information obtained during such examination confidential.

ARTICLE 7 - DEVELOPMENT COMMON AREAS

7.01. Landlord reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to close all or any portions of the Development Common Areas when in Landlord’s reasonable judgment any such closing, is necessary or desirable (a) to make repairs or changes or to effect construction, (b) to prevent the acquisition of public rights in such areas, (c) to discourage unauthorized parking, (d) to protect or preserve natural persons or property, or (e) to cease the utilization of such premises as a Development Common Area, provided that no such closure shall adversely impact in any material manner upon ingress to or egress from the Building or the Demised Premises or otherwise adversely impact in any material manner upon the use and enjoyment of the Demised Premises by Tenant and its assigns, if any. Landlord may do such other acts in and to the Development Common Areas as in its judgment may be desirable to improve or maintain same so long as such other acts do not adversely impact in any material manner upon the use and enjoyment of the Demised Premises by Tenant and its subtenants and assigns, if any.

 

13


ARTICLE 8 - SECURITY

8.01. (a) In the event Tenant deposits with Landlord any Security Deposit, the same shall be held as security for the full and faithful payment and performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. If Tenant defaults beyond applicable notice and cure periods in the full and prompt payment and performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, including, without limitation, the payment of Rent, Landlord may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the security so deposited to the extent required for the payment of any Rent or any other sums as to which Tenant is in default or for any sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Tenant’s default in respect of any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, including, without limitation, any damages or deficiency in the reletting of the Demised Premises, whether such damages or deficiency accrue before or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by Landlord. If Landlord shall so use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the security, Tenant shall upon demand promptly deposit with Landlord a sum equal to the amount so used, applied and retained, as security as aforesaid. Provided at the end of the Term Tenant is not in default hereunder beyond any notice and cure period, the security or any balance thereof to which Tenant is entitled shall be returned or paid over to Tenant after the date on which this Lease shall expire or sooner end or terminate, and after delivery to Landlord of entire possession of the Demised Premises. In the event of any sale or leasing of the Land, Landlord shall transfer the security to which Tenant is entitled to the vendee or lessee and Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return or payment thereof; and Tenant shall look solely to the new landlord for the return or payment of the same; and the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the same to a new landlord. Tenant shall not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the monies deposited herein as security, and neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

(b) In lieu of the cash security required by this Lease, Tenant shall provide to Landlord an irrevocable transferable Letter of Credit in the amount of the Security Deposit in form annexed hereto as Exhibit E and issued Square One Bank or any other financial institution approved by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right, upon written notice to Tenant (except that for Tenant’s nonpayment of Rent or for Tenant’s failure to comply with Article 8.03, no such notice shall be required) and regardless of the exercise of any other remedy the Landlord may have by reason of a default, to draw upon said Letter of Credit to cure any default of Tenant which (except as otherwise provided herein) is not cured within applicable notice and cure periods, or for any purpose authorized by section 8.01(a) of this Lease and if Landlord does so, Tenant shall, upon demand, additionally fund the Letter of Credit with the amount so drawn so that Landlord shall have the full deposit on hand at all times during the Term of the Lease and for a period of thirty (30) days’ thereafter. In the event of a sale of the Building or a lease of the Building subject to this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the security to the vendee or lessee.

8.02. The Letter of Credit shall expire not earlier than thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date of this Lease. The Letter of Credit may be of the type which is automatically renewed on an annual basis (Annual Renewal Date), provided however, in such event Tenant shall maintain the Letter of Credit and its renewals in full force and effect during the entire Term of this Lease (including any renewals or extensions) and for a period of thirty (30) days thereafter. The Letter of Credit will contain a provision requiring the issuer thereof to give the beneficiary (Landlord) thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of its intention not to renew the Letter of Credit on the next Annual Renewal Date.

 

14


8.03. In the event Tenant shall fail to deliver to Landlord a substitute irrevocable Letter of Credit, in the amount stated above, on or before thirty (30) days prior to the next Annual Renewal Date, said failure shall be deemed a default under this Lease. Landlord may, in its discretion treat this the same as a default in the payment of Rent or any other default and pursue the appropriate remedy. In addition, and not in limitation, Landlord shall be permitted to draw upon the Letter of Credit as in the case of any other default by Tenant under the Lease.

8.04. Provided Tenant is not in default of its obligations under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, the Security Deposit shall be reduced in the amount of $[***] on July 1, 2015 resulting in a total Security Deposit of $[***], and $[***] on July 1, 2016 resulting in a total Security Deposit of $[***], and $[***] on July 1, 2017 resulting in a total Security Deposit of $[***]. In no event however shall the Letter of Credit contain a provision for its automatic reduction. If such reduction in the Letter of Credit shall be accomplished via the issuance of a replacement Letter of Credit, rather than an amendment to the existing Letter of Credit, Landlord agrees to return the existing Letter of Credit to Tenant or the issuer thereof within two (2) Business Days of Tenant’s delivery of the replacement Letter of Credit in the reduced amount permitted above.

ARTICLE 9 - SUBORDINATION

9.01. This Lease, and all rights of Tenant hereunder, are and shall be subject and subordinate to all ground leases and underlying leases of the Land and/or the Building now or hereafter existing and to all Mortgages which may now or hereafter affect the Land and/or building and/or any of such leases, whether or not such Mortgages or leases shall also cover other lands and/or buildings, to each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under such Mortgages, and to all renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions of such leases and such Mortgages and spreaders and consolidations of such Mortgages. The provisions of this Section 9.01 shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall within ten (10) days of request execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument that Landlord, the lessor under any such lease or the Mortgagee of any such Mortgage or any of their respective successors in interest may reasonably request to evidence such subordination. (See Rider Section R12.)

9.02. If any act or omission of Landlord would give Tenant the right, immediately or after lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate this Lease, or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not exercise such right (a) until it has given written notice of such act or omission to Landlord and each Superior Mortgagee and each Superior Lessor whose name and address shall previously have been furnished to Tenant, and (b) until a reasonable period for remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice and following the time when such Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor shall have become entitled under such Superior Mortgage or Superior Lease, as the case may be, to remedy the same (which reasonable period shall in no event be less than the period to which Landlord would be entitled under this Lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy), provided such Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor shall with due diligence give Tenant notice of intention to, and commence, its cure of Landlord’s default within forty five (45) days of Tenant’s delivery of notice of Landlord’s default, and thereafter continue to remedy such act or omission with commercially reasonable and diligent efforts.

 

15


9.03. If any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or deed, then at the request of such party so succeeding to Landlord’s rights (“Successor Landlord”) and upon such Successor Landlord’s written agreement to accept Tenant’s attornment, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such Successor Landlord as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Successor Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment. Upon such attornment this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Lease except that the Successor Landlord shall not (a) be liable for any previous act or omission of Landlord under this Lease not continuing after Successor Landlord shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease; (b) be subject to any offset, not expressly provided for in this Lease, which theretofore shall have accrued to Tenant against Landlord; (c) be liable for the return of any Security Deposit, in whole or in part, to the extent that same is not paid over to the Successor Landlord; or (d) be bound by any previous modification of this Lease or by any previous prepayment of more than one month’s Fixed Rent or Additional Charges, unless such modification or prepayment shall have been expressly approved in writing by the Superior Lessor of the Superior Lease or the Mortgagee of the Superior Mortgage through or by reason of which the Successor Landlord shall have succeeded to the rights of Landlord under this Lease.

9.04. If any then present or prospective Superior Mortgagee shall require any modification(s) of this Lease, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver to Landlord such instruments effecting such modification(s) as Landlord shall request, provided that such modification(s) do not adversely affect in any material respect any of Tenant’s rights under this Lease or at law or in equity, or increase the Rent or any of Tenant’s costs of doing business from the Demised Premises, other than to a de minimis extent.

ARTICLE 10 - QUIET ENJOYMENT

10.01. So long as this Lease shall be in full force and effect, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Demised Premises without hindrance, ejection or molestation by Landlord or any person lawfully claiming through or under Landlord, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of this Lease and to Superior Leases and Superior Mortgages.

ARTICLE 11 - ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND MORTGAGING

11.01. Tenant shall not, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law or otherwise, (a) assign or otherwise transfer this Lease, or advertise to do so, (b) sublet the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or advertise to do so, or allow the same to be used, occupied or utilized by anyone other than Tenant, or (c) mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise hypothecate this Lease in any manner whatsoever, without in each instance obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord. Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold its consent to the subletting of the Demised Premises or an assignment of this Lease. In determining reasonableness, Landlord may take into consideration all relevant factors surrounding the proposed sublease and assignment, including, without limitation, the following: (i) The business reputation of the proposed assignee or subtenant and its officers or directors in relation to the other tenants or occupants of the Development; (ii) the nature of the business and the proposed use of the Demised Premises by the

 

16


proposed assignee or subtenant in relation to the other tenants or occupants of the Development; (iii) whether the proposed assignee or subtenant is then a tenant (or subsidiary, affiliate or parent of a tenant) of other space in the Development, or any other property owned or managed by Landlord or its affiliates; (iv) the financial condition of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (v) restrictions, if any, contained in leases or other agreements affecting the Building and the Development; (vi) the effect that the proposed assignee’s or subtenant’s occupancy or use of the Demised Premises would have upon the operation and maintenance of the Building and the Development; (vii) the extent to which the proposed assignee and Tenant provide Landlord with assurances reasonably satisfactory to Landlord as to the satisfaction of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. In any event, at no time shall there be more than two (2) subtenants of the Demised Premises permitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may advertise an assignment of the Lease or a sublease of the Demised Premises provided the advertising does not price the unit at an effective cost per square foot which is less than Landlord’s then asking rents for comparable properties in the vicinity of the Demised Premises.

In the event the Demised Premises are sublet or this Lease is assigned, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as an Additional Charge the following amounts less the actual reasonable expense incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment or subletting, as substantiated by Tenant, in writing, to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, including, without limitation, a reasonable brokerage fee and reasonable legal fees, as the case may be: (i) in the case of an assignment, an amount equal to [***] of all sums and other consideration paid to Tenant by the assignee for or by reason of such assignment, and (ii) in the case of a sublease, [***] of any rents, additional charge or other consideration payable under the sublease to Tenant by the subtenant which is in excess of the Fixed Rent and Additional Charges accruing during the term of the sublease in respect of the subleased space (at the rate per square foot payable by Tenant hereunder) pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein contained in this subsection to the contrary, the forgoing Additional Charge shall not be applicable to and upon prior or simultaneous notice to Landlord Tenant may assign this Lease, or sublet the whole or any portion of the Premises, to its parent, subsidiary or any affiliate, provided that (i) with respect to an assignment, that such assignee promptly executes and delivers to Landlord an assignment agreement pursuant to which it assumes all obligations under the Lease; and (ii) with respect to a sublease, that such sublessee promptly executes and delivers to Landlord a sublease agreement which includes a provision to the effect that the sublease is subject to the terms and provisions of the Lease. The term “affiliate”, as used hereinabove, shall mean any corporation or other entity controlled by, under common control with, or which controls Tenant.

11.02. If at any time (a) the original Tenant named herein, (b) the then Tenant, (c) any Guarantor, or (d) any Person owning a majority of the voting stock of, or directly or indirectly controlling, the then Tenant shall be a corporation, limited liability company, or partnership, any transfer of voting stock or other ownership interest (including but not limited to membership interest, economic interest, or partnership interest) resulting in the person(s) who shall have owned a majority of such corporation’s shares of voting stock, or the majority of the membership interests or economic interest in such limited liability company, or the majority of the general partners’ interest or the majority of the limited partner’s interest in such partnership, as the case may be, immediately before such transfer, ceasing to own a majority of such shares of voting stock, membership or economic interest, general partner’s ownership or economic interest, or limited partner’s ownership or economic interest, as the case may be, except as the result of transfers by

inheritance, shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease as to which Landlord’s consent shall have been required, and in any such event Tenant shall notify Landlord. The provisions of this Section 11.02 shall not be applicable to any corporation all the outstanding voting stock of which is listed on a national securities exchange (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) or is traded in the over-the-counter market with quotations reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers through its automated system for reporting quotations and shall not apply to transactions with a corporation or limited liability company into or with which the then Tenant is merged or consolidated or to which substantially all of the then Tenant’s assets are transferred or to any corporation or limited liability company which controls or is controlled by the then Tenant or is under common control with the then Tenant, provided that in any of such events (i) the successor to Tenant has a net worth computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles at least equal to the greater of (1) the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or transfer, or (2) the net worth of the original Tenant on the date of this Lease, and (ii) proof satisfactory to Landlord of such net worth shall have been delivered to Landlord at least 10 days prior to the effective date of any such transaction (or immediately following such transaction if Tenant shall reasonably require that the transaction remain confidential). For the purposes of this Section, the words “voting stock” shall refer to shares of stock regularly entitled to vote for the election of directors of the corporation. Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the Term to inspect the stock record books or other ownership records of the entity to which the provisions of this Section 11.02 apply, and Tenant will produce the same on request of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, notice only to (and not consent by) Landlord shall be required in connection with a sale of the tenant entity, whether effected via a stock sale or a sale of assets, provided (i) such sale is not made in an effort to avoid the assignment restrictions contained in section 11.01; (ii) the provisions of subsections (i)—(vii) in the first paragraph of section 11.01 are satisfied; and (iii) the net worth of the successor tenant/assignee is not less than $[***] at the time of such transaction. In the event the foregoing conditions are satisfied, landlord shall not be entitled to share in any profits of such transaction as provided for in the second paragraph of section 11.01.

11.03. If this Lease is assigned, whether or not in violation of this Lease, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee. If the Demised Premises or any part thereof are sublet or used or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, whether or not in violation of this Lease, Landlord may, after any monetary or other material non-monetary default by Tenant, and expiration of Tenant’s time to cure such default, collect rent from the subtenant or occupant. In either event, Landlord may apply the net amount collected to the Rent, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of Section 11.01 or Section 11.02, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. The consent by Landlord to any assignment, mortgaging, subletting or use or occupancy by others shall not in any way be considered to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express written consent of Landlord to any other or further assignment, mortgaging or subletting or use or occupancy by others not expressly permitted by this Article 10. References in this Lease to use or occupancy by others (that is, anyone other than Tenant) shall not be construed as limited to subtenants and those claiming under or through subtenants but shall be construed as including also licensees and others claiming under or through Tenant, immediately or remotely.

11.04. Any permitted assignment or transfer, whether made with Landlord’s consent pursuant to Section 11.01 or without Landlord’s consent if permitted by Section 11.02, shall be made only if, and shall not be effective until, the assignee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord whereby the assignee shall assume Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and whereby the assignee shall agree that all of the provisions in this Article 11 shall, notwithstanding such assignment or transfer, continue to be binding upon it in respect to all future assignments and transfers. Notwithstanding any assignment or transfer, whether or not in violation of the provisions of this Lease, and notwithstanding the acceptance of Rent by Landlord from an assignee, transferee, or any other party, the original Tenant and any other person(s) who at any time was or were Tenant shall remain fully liable for the payment of the Rent and for Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease.

11.05. The liability of the original named Tenant and any other Person(s) (including but not limited to any Guarantor) who at any time are or become responsible for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall not be discharged, released or impaired by any agreement extending the time of, or modifying any of the terms or obligations under this Lease, or by any waiver or failure of Landlord to enforce, any of this Lease.

11.06. The listing of any name other than that of Tenant, whether on the doors of the Demised Premises or the Building directory, or otherwise, shall not operate to vest any right or interest in this Lease or in the Demised Premises, nor shall it be deemed to be the consent of Landlord to any assignment or transfer of this Lease or to any sublease of the Demised Premises or to the use or occupancy thereof by others. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall have the absolute right to withhold its consent to an assignment or subletting to a Person who is otherwise a tenant or occupant of a building owned or managed by Landlord or its affiliated entities in the Development.

11.07. Without limiting any of the provisions of Article 24, if pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code (or any similar law hereafter enacted having the same general purpose), Tenant is permitted to assign this Lease notwithstanding the restrictions contained in this Lease, adequate assurance of future performance by an assignee expressly permitted under such Code shall be deemed to mean the deposit of cash security in an amount equal to the sum of one (1) year’s Fixed Rent plus an amount equal to the Additional Charges for the Calendar Year preceding the year in which such assignment is intended to become effective, which deposit shall be held by Landlord for the balance of the Term, without interest, as security for the full performance of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, to be held and applied in the manner specified for security in Article 8.

11.08. If Tenant shall propose to assign or in any manner transfer this Lease or any interest therein, or sublet the Demised Premises or any part or parts thereof, or grant any concession or license or otherwise permit occupancy of all or any part of the Demised Premises by any person, Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord, together with a copy of a letter of intent or term sheet setting forth the material terms and provisions of the proposed assignment or sublease transaction and such financial and other information pertaining to the proposed assignee, transferee, subtenant, concessionaire or licensee as Landlord shall reasonably require. Landlord shall provide written notice of its consent to or rejection of any proposed assignment or sublease transaction within twenty (20) days of Tenant’s delivery of its notice requesting Landlord’s consent. If Landlord

 

19


shall reject the proposed assignment or sublease transaction, Landlord shall include with its notice of rejection a reasonably detailed description of Landlord’s reason(s) for rejecting the proposed transaction. If Landlord consents to the proposed assignment or sublease transaction and Tenant does not consummate the subject transaction within ninety (90) days after Landlord delivers its notice approving the transaction, Tenant shall again be required to comply with the provisions of this Section 11.08 in connection with any such transaction as if the notice by Tenant referred to above in this Section 11.08 had not been given. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to entertain or consider any request by Tenant to consent to any proposed assignment of this Lease or sublet of all or any part of the Demised Premises unless each request by Tenant is accompanied by a non-refundable fee payable to Landlord in the amount of [***] to cover Landlord’s administrative, legal, and other costs and expenses incurred in processing each of Tenant’s requests. Neither Tenant’s payment nor Landlord’s acceptance of the foregoing fee shall be construed to impose any obligation whatsoever upon Landlord to consent to Tenant’s request. If Landlord shall fail to provide notice of its approval or disapproval of any request for assignment or sublease within twenty (20) days, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved of the assignment or sublease if Tenant refers to this Lease section and notifies Landlord of this deemed approval provision in Tenant’s request for approval.

ARTICLE 12 - COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

12.01. Tenant shall comply with all Legal Requirements which shall, in respect of the Demised Premises or the use and occupation thereof, or the abatement of any nuisance in, on or about the Demised Premises, impose any violation, order or duty on Landlord or Tenant; and Tenant shall pay all the cost, expenses, fines, penalties and damages which may be imposed upon Landlord or any Superior Lessor by reason of or arising out of Tenant’s failure to fully and promptly comply with and observe the provisions of this Section 12.01. However, Tenant need not comply with any such law or requirement of any public authority so long as Tenant shall be contesting the validity thereof, or the applicability thereof to the Demised Premises, in accordance with Section 12.02. Landlord represents that to the best of its knowledge there are no outstanding notices of violation of any Legal Requirements affecting the Demised Premises and Landlord shall be solely responsible for correcting any such open violations notices received prior to the Commencement Date unless arising as a result of any action of Tenant or any entity acting under the direction of or on behalf of Tenant.

12.02. Tenant may contest, by appropriate proceedings prosecuted diligently and in good faith, the validity, or applicability to the Demised Premises, of any Legal Requirement, provided that (a) Landlord shall not be subject to criminal penalty or to prosecution for a crime or offense, and neither the Demised Premises nor any part thereof shall be subject to being condemned or vacated, by reason of non-compliance or otherwise by reason of such contest; (b) before the commencement of such contest, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord either (i) the bond of a surety company reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, which bond shall be, as to its provisions and form, satisfactory to Landlord, and shall be in an amount at least equal to [***]% of the cost of such compliance (as estimated by a reputable contractor designated by Landlord) and shall indemnify Landlord against the cost thereof and against all liability for damages, interest, penalties and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), resulting from or incurred in connection with such contest or non-compliance, or (ii) other security in place of such bond

 

20


satisfactory to Landlord; (c) such non-compliance or contest shall not constitute or result in any violation of any Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage, or if any such Superior Lease and/or Superior Mortgage shall permit such non-compliance or contest on condition of the taking of action or furnishing of security by Landlord, such action shall be taken and such security shall be furnished at the expense of Tenant; and (d) Tenant shall keep Landlord advised as to the status of such proceedings. Without limiting the application of the above, Landlord shall be deemed subject to prosecution for a crime or offense if Landlord, or its managing agent, or any officer, director, partner, shareholder or employee of Landlord or its managing agent, as an individual, is charged with a crime or offense of any kind or degree whatsoever, whether by service of a summons or otherwise, unless such charge is withdrawn before Landlord or its managing agent, or such officer, director, partner, shareholder or employee of Landlord or its managing agent (as the case may be) is required to plead or answer thereto. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not file any Real Estate Tax appeal without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time other than the last eighteen (18) months of the Term, Landlord shall consent to Tenant’s request to appeal the Real Estate Taxes provided (i) Tenant shall notify Landlord of its intention to commence an appeal (and such notice shall make reference to this Section) and (ii) on the thirtieth day prior to the final date permitted for such tax appeal, Landlord has failed to either commence such appeal or to notify Tenant of its intention to do so. In the event Tenant commences such appeal, Tenant shall provide Landlord with the opportunity to participate in such appeal and shall provide Landlord with copies of all correspondence, documentation and records of such appeal upon receipt of same. Under no circumstances shall Tenant make any commitment restricting the right to undertake a tax appeal for any future period of time.

ARTICLE 13 - INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY

13.01. During the Term Tenant shall maintain at its own cost and expense the following insurance: (a) comprehensive or commercial general liability insurance in respect of the Demised Premises and the conduct and operation of business therein, having limits of liability not less than $[***] per occurrence for bodily injury or property damage coverage to include but not be limited to completed operations, contractual liability and product liability, (b) automobile liability insurance covering all owned, hired and non-owned vehicles used by the Tenant in connection with their work and any loading or unloading of such vehicles, with limits as stated above and (c) workmen’s compensation and employers liability insurance as required by statutes, but in any event not less than $[***] for each accident or occupational disease for employers liability, (d) All-Risk insurance (including flood and earthquake) covering the Demised Premises and Tenant’s stock in trade, fixtures, furniture, furnishings, removable floor coverings, equipment, signs or any other property of Tenant in the Demised Premises, against loss or damage in an amount equal to the full replacement value thereof as same might increase from time to time or such higher amount as either may be required by the holder of any fee mortgage covering the Demises Premises or is necessary to prevent Landlord and/or Tenant from becoming a co-insurer, such insurance to include (i) coverage for property of others in the care, custody and control of Tenant in amounts sufficient to cover the maximum value of such property and to the extent of Tenant’s liability therefor, (ii) boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable (iii) rent insurance in an amount equal to the Rent, and all other charges payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease for a period of one (1) year and (iv) a provision that the insurer will waive subrogation against Landlord,

 

21


and (e) any other insurance that Landlord may reasonably require provided same is generally required by owners of similar real property. Landlord may at any time and from time to time require that the limits for the liability insurance to be maintained by Tenant be increased to the limits that new Tenants in similar buildings are required by Landlord to maintain, but in no event more frequently than once every two (2) years. The insurance carried pursuant to Section 13.01 (d) shall be carried in favor of Landlord and the holder of any fee mortgage on the Premises and the standard mortgagee clause shall be attached to the appropriate policies or certificates thereof. Insurance carried pursuant to Section 13.01(d) shall provide that the loss, if any, shall be adjusted with and payable to the party who will perform the work of restoration pursuant to Article 22 and such mortgagee as their interests may appear. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and any additional insured(s) certificates for such fully paid for policies (with property and liability insurance evidenced on an Acord 27 form) upon execution hereof. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with copies of all such insurance policies. Tenant shall procure and pay for renewals of such insurance from time to time before the expiration thereof, and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and any additional insured(s), certificates therefor at least five (5) Business Days before the expiration of any existing policy. All such policies shall be issued by companies acceptable to Landlord, having a Bests Rating of not less than A, Class VII (or an equivalent S&P rating if requested by Landlord), and licensed to do business in New Jersey, and all such policies shall contain a provision whereby the same cannot be canceled unless Landlord and any additional insured(s) are given at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such cancellation. The insurance required by this Section (other than worker’s compensation insurance) and the certificates thereof to be delivered to Landlord by Tenant shall name Landlord as an additional insured and, at Landlord’s request, shall also name any Superior Lessors or Superior Mortgagees as additional insureds, and the following phrase must be typed on the certificate of insurance: “Hartz Mountain Industries, Inc., and its respective subsidiaries, affiliates, associates, joint ventures, and partnerships, are hereby named as additional insureds as their interests may appear (and if Landlord has so requested, Tenant shall include any Superior Lessors and Superior Mortgagees as additional insured(s)). It is intended for this insurance to be primary and non-contributing.” Tenant shall give Landlord at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice that any such policy is being canceled or replaced.

13.02. Tenant shall not do, permit or suffer to be done any act, matter, thing or failure to act in respect of the Demised Premises or use or occupy the Demised Premises or conduct or operate Tenant’s business in any manner objectionable to any insurance company or companies whereby the fire insurance or any other insurance then in effect in respect to the Land and Building or any part thereof shall become void or suspended or whereby any premiums in respect of insurance maintained by Landlord shall be materially higher than those which would normally have been in effect for the occupancy contemplated under the Permitted Uses. In case of a breach of the provisions of this Section 13.02, in addition to all other rights and remedies of Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall (a) indemnify Landlord and the Superior Lessors and hold Landlord and the Superior Lessors harmless from and against any loss which would have been covered by insurance which shall have become void or suspended because of such breach by Tenant and (b) pay to Landlord any and all increases of premiums on any insurance, including, without limitation, rent insurance, resulting from any such breach.

 

22


13.03. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and all Superior Lessors and its and their respective partners, joint venturers, directors, officers, agents, servants and employees from and against any and all claims arising from or in connection with (a) the conduct or management of the Demised Premises or of any business therein, or any work or thing whatsoever done, or any condition created (other than by Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors) in the Demised Premises during the Term or during the period of time, if any, prior to the Commencement Date that Tenant may have been given access to the Demised Premises; (b) any act, omission or negligence of Tenant or any of its subtenants or licensees or its or their partners, joint venturers, directors, officers, agents, employees or contractors; (c) any accident, injury or damage whatever (unless caused solely by the negligence of Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors) occurring in the Demised Premises; and (d) any breach or default by Tenant in the full and prompt payment and performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; together with all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in or in connection with each such claim or action or proceeding brought thereon, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. In case any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord and/or any Superior Lessor and/or its or their partners, joint venturers, directors, officers, agents and/or employees in connection with conduct or management of the Demised Premises or by reason of any claim referred to above, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord or such Superior Lessor, shall, at Tenant’s cost and expense, resist and defend such action or proceeding by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

13.04. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable or responsible for, and each party releases the other from, all liability and responsibility to the other and any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, by way of subrogation or otherwise, for any injury, loss or damage to any person or property in or around the Demised Premises or to a party’s business irrespective of the cause of such injury, loss or damage, and each of Landlord and Tenant shall require its respective insurers to include in all of their insurance policies which could give rise to a right of subrogation against the other a clause or endorsement whereby the insurer waives any rights of subrogation against the other or permits the insured, prior to any loss, to agree with a third party to waive any claim it may have against said third party without invalidating the coverage under the insurance policy.

13.05. Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless Tenant and its partners, joint venturers, directors, officers, agents, servants and employees from and against any and all claims arising from or in connection with (a) any act, omission or negligence of Landlord or its partners, joint venturers, directors, officers, agents, employees with respect to management of the Development Common Areas; and (b) any breach or default by Landlord in the full and prompt payment and performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease; together with all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in or in connection with each such claim or action or proceeding brought thereon, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. In case any action or proceeding is brought against Tenant and/or its partners, joint venturers, directors, officers, agents and/or employees in connection with foregoing management of the Development Common Areas or by reason of any claim referred to above, Landlord, upon notice from Tenant, shall, at Landlord’s cost and expense, resist and defend such action or proceeding by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.

ARTICLE 14 - RULES AND REGULATIONS

14.01. Tenant and its employees and agents shall faithfully observe and comply with the Rules and Regulations and such reasonable changes therein (whether by modification, elimination or addition) as Landlord at any time or times hereafter may make and notify Tenant in writing, which in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, shall be necessary for the reputation, safety, care or appearance of the Land and Building, or the preservation of good order therein, or the operation or maintenance of the Building or its equipment and fixtures, and which do not unreasonably affect the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Demised Premises; provided, however, that in case of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Lease and any of the Rules and Regulations, the provisions of this Lease shall control. Landlord shall not discriminate against Tenant in the enactment or enforcement of any of the Rules and Regulations. In the event Landlord shall desire to change any of the Rules and Regulations, Landlord in each instance shall provide Tenant with prior written notice of such changes, and in no event shall any such changes reduce or diminish any of Tenant’s rights or Landlord’s obligations under the Lease in any material manner. So long as Tenant and its subtenants and assigns shall be the sole occupants of the Building, any of the Rules and Regulations which are designed to control the interactions between occupants in a multi-tenanted building and/or to minimize conflicts between occupants in a multi-tenanted building shall not be applicable to Tenant and its subtenants and assigns, and Tenant shall have the sole right and authority to promulgate rules governing the interactions between itself and its subtenants and assigns provided same shall not conflict in any manner with the terms of this Lease.

ARTICLE 15 - ALTERATIONS AND SIGNS

15.01. Tenant shall not make any alterations or additions to the Demised Premises, or make any holes or cuts in the walls, ceilings, roofs, or floors thereof, or change the exterior color or architectural treatment of the Demised Premises, without on each occasion first obtaining the consent of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent for alterations that are non-structural in nature and do not involve or affect the mechanical systems of the Demised Premises or Building and having a cost of less than $[***]. Tenant shall submit to Landlord plans and specifications for such work at the time Landlord’s consent is sought. Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand the actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket cost and expense of Landlord in (a) reviewing said plans and specifications and (b) inspecting the alterations to determine whether the same are being performed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements, including, without limitation, the actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket fees of any architect or engineer employed by Landlord for such purpose. Before proceeding with any permitted alteration which will cost more than $[***] (exclusive of the costs of decorating work and items constituting Tenant’s Property), as estimated by a reputable contractor reasonably designated by Landlord, Tenant shall obtain and deliver to Landlord either (i) a performance bond and a labor and materials payment bond (issued by a corporate surety licensed to do business in New Jersey), each in an amount equal to [***]% of such estimated cost and in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, or (ii) such other security as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall fully and promptly comply with and observe the reasonable Rules and Regulations then in force and of which notice has been provided to Tenant in respect of the making of alterations.

Alterations shall be made in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with or delay and as not to impose any additional material expense upon Landlord in the construction, maintenance, repair or operation of the Building; and if any such additional expense shall be incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s making of any alterations, Tenant shall pay any such additional expense upon demand. Throughout the making of alterations, Tenant shall carry, or cause to be carried, workmen’s compensation insurance in statutory limits and general liability insurance, with completed operation endorsement, for any occurrence in or about the Building, under which Landlord and its managing agent and any Superior Lessor whose name and address shall previously have been furnished to Tenant shall be named as parties insured, in such limits as Landlord may reasonably require, with insurers reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with reasonably satisfactory evidence that such insurance is in effect at or before the commencement of alterations and, on request, at reasonable intervals thereafter during the making of alterations.

15.03. Tenant shall not place any signs on the roof, exterior walls or grounds of the Demised Premises without first obtaining Landlord’s written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided however that Landlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to Tenant’s request to place signage on the exterior walls of the Building or the grounds of the Demised Premises in compliance with Legal Requirements.

Tenant shall be responsible to maintain the structural integrity of the Building and shall, at its cost and expense, make all repairs and replacements thereto (including but not limited to the roof and roof deck). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord at its sole cost and expense shall be responsible for structural repairs and/or structural replacements to the foundations, pilings if any, structural steel, structural walls and structural support to the roof, unless the need for such repairs or replacements is due to the act of Tenant or its agents, employees, or contractors.

17.03. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, nor shall Tenant’s covenants and obligations under this Lease be reduced or abated in any manner whatsoever, by reason of any inconvenience, annoyance, interruption or injury to business arising from Landlord’s doing any repairs, maintenance, or changes which Landlord is required or permitted by this Lease, or required by Law, to make in or to any portion of the Building. Without limiting the foregoing (i) Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant, its subtenants or assigns or any of the business operations at the Demised Premises while performing any such repairs, maintenance, or changes, and (ii) Landlord shall conduct any work in connection therewith in such a manner as shall be required to minimize any such interference to the extent commercially practicable (but without any obligation to perform same during overtime hours).

17.04. Tenant shall not permit or suffer the overloading of the floors of the Demised Premises beyond 250 pounds per square foot, or lesser amount as may be applicable to any mezzanine area.

ARTICLE 18 - UTILITY CHARGES

18.01. Tenant shall pay all charges for gas, water, sewer, electricity, heat or other utility or service supplied to the Demised Premises as measured by meters relating to Tenant’s use, and the cost of repair, maintenance, replacement, and reading of any meters measuring Tenant’s consumption thereof. Tenant expressly agrees that Landlord shall not be responsible for the failure of supply to Tenant of any of the aforesaid, or any other utility service. Landlord shall not be responsible for any public or private telephone service to be installed in the space, particularly conduit if required. If Landlord, or its designee is permitted by law to provide electric energy to the Demised Premises by re-registering meters or otherwise and to collect any charges for electric energy, Landlord or its designee shall have the exclusive right to do so, in which event Tenant shall pay to Landlord or its designee upon receipt of bills therefor charges for electric energy provided the rates for such electric energy shall not be more than the rates Tenant would be charged for electric energy if furnished directly to Tenant by the public utility or Tenant’s electricity supplier which would otherwise have furnished electric energy.

18.02. Tenant’s use of electric energy in the Demised Premises shall not at any time exceed the capacity of any of the electrical conductors and equipment in or otherwise serving the Demised Premises. In order to insure that such capacity is not exceeded and to avert possible adverse effect upon the Building’s electric service, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior consent in each instance (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) make any alteration or addition to the electric system of the Demised Premises existing on the Commencement Date. Should Landlord grant such consent, all additional risers or other equipment required therefor shall be provided by Landlord and the actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket cost thereof shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand.

 

28


18.03. At Landlord’s option, Landlord or Landlord’s designee shall have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to install or cause to be installed solar panels or other energy generating equipment on the Building (including but not limited to the roof thereof) for purposes of furnishing in whole or in part electric energy to the Building (herein an “Energy System”). Tenant shall provide Landlord or its designee with access to the Demised Premises for the installation, maintenance and repair of such Energy System as Landlord or its designee may require so long as such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations in the Building of Tenant or its subtenants and assigns, if any. Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant, its subtenants or assigns or any of the business operations at the Demised Premises while installing the Energy System, if any, and shall conduct any work in connection therewith in such a manner as shall be required to minimize any such interference to the extent commercially practicable. Tenant may require that Landlord schedule any work with Tenant in advance and conduct such work on such dates and/or at such times as Tenant shall reasonably require to minimize any disturbance to or interference with the business operations in the Demised Premises. If installed, such Energy System shall (either itself or together with such service provided by a public utility provider designated by Tenant) meet the minimum service provided to the Building immediately prior to the installation of such Energy System. In the event Landlord elects to install or cause such Energy System to be installed, Tenant shall purchase electric energy for the Demised Premises from Landlord or its designee and Tenant shall pay the charges established by Landlord or its designee for such service from time to time, but not in excess of the rates payable by Tenant from a third party public utility provider having service available to the Building. Landlord also reserves the right to discontinue furnishing electric energy at any time whether or not Tenant is in default of this Lease upon not less than sixty (60) days’ notice to Tenant. Prior to any entry by Landlord upon the Demised Premises as provided in this section, Landlord shall give Tenant reasonable advance notice (stating the date and approximate time of such entry) and afford Tenant the opportunity to have a representative of Tenant accompany Landlord or its representative during such entry, If, on the date and approximate time of such entry as provided in such notice, Tenant shall not have made a representative of Tenant available to accompany Landlord or its representative during such entry, Landlord may lawfully enter upon the Demised Premises on the date and at the approximate time set forth in such notice without the need for such representative of Tenant to be present. The foregoing reasonable advance notice shall be the time period and manner of notice stated in this section, if so stated.

18.04. Subject to the provisions of Article 15 of the Lease, Tenant shall have the right to use a portion of the roof to install one or more supplemental HVAC units and/or satellite antennas, provided that any such satellite antennas shall be used solely in connection with the business operations being performed in the Building. In the event of any interference with Tenant’s approved roof installations, the Landlord’s plans and specifications for installation of an Energy System on the roof of the Building shall be subject to Tenant’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and Tenant shall have the right to withhold consent to such plans if they fail to reserve one or more areas on the roof of the Building that are reasonably adequate for such supplemental HVAC units and satellite antennas, as reasonably determined by Tenant, or if the location of such reserved areas shall not adequately support the installation and maintenance of any such existing or proposed future supplemental HVAC units and/or satellite antennas, as reasonably determined by Tenant.

ARTICLE 19 - ACCESS, CHANGES AND NAME

19.01. Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter and/or pass through the Demised Premises at any reasonable time or times (a) to examine the Demised Premises and to show them to actual and prospective Superior Lessors, Superior Mortgagees, or prospective purchasers of the Building, and (b) to make such repairs, alterations, additions and improvements in or to the Demised Premises and/or in or to the Building or its facilities and equipment as Landlord is required or desires to make, provided that (i) Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant or its assigns or any of the business operations at the Demised Premises which performing any such repairs, alterations, additions and/or improvements, (ii) Landlord shall conduct any work in connection therewith in such a manner as shall be required to minimize interference to the extent commercially practicable (without obligation to perform such work on an overtime basis), and (iii) Tenant may reasonably require that Landlord schedule any work with Tenant in advance and conduct such work on such dates and/or at such times as Tenant shall reasonably require (during regular hours) to minimize disturbance to or interference with the business operations in Demised Premises. Landlord shall be allowed to take all materials into and upon the Demised Premises that may be required in connection therewith, without any liability to Tenant and without any reduction of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. During the period of nine (9) months prior to the Expiration Date, Landlord and its agents may exhibit the Demised Premises to prospective tenants. Prior to any entry by Landlord upon the Demised Premises as provided in this section, Landlord shall give Tenant reasonable advance notice (stating the date and approximate time of such entry) and afford Tenant the opportunity to have a representative of Tenant accompany Landlord or its representative during such entry, If, on the date and approximate time of such entry as provided in such notice, Tenant shall not have made a representative of Tenant available to accompany Landlord or its representative during such entry, Landlord may lawfully enter upon the Demised Premises on the date and at the approximate time set forth in such notice without the need for such representative of Tenant to be present. The foregoing reasonable advance notice shall be the time period and manner of notice stated in this section, if so stated.

19.02. If at any time any windows of the Demised Premises are temporarily darkened or obstructed by reason of any repairs, improvements, maintenance and/or cleaning in or about the Building, or if any part of the Building is temporarily or permanently closed or inoperable, the same shall not be deemed a constructive eviction and shall not result in any reduction or diminution of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

19.03. Upon prior notice, Landlord reserves the right to change the address of the Building at any time.

ARTICLE 20 - MECHANICS’ LIENS AND OTHER LIENS

20.01. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed to imply any consent of Landlord to subject Landlord’s interest or estate to any liability under any mechanic’s, construction or other lien law. If any lien or any notice of intention (to file a lien), lis pendens, or notice of unpaid balance and right to file lien is filed against the Land, the Building, or any part thereof, or the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, for any work, labor, services or materials claimed to have been performed or furnished for or on behalf of Tenant, or anyone holding any part of the Demised Premises through or under Tenant, Tenant shall cause the same to be canceled and discharged of record by payment, bond or order of a court of competent jurisdiction within thirty (30) days after notice by Landlord to Tenant.

ARTICLE 21 - NON-LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

21.01. Neither Landlord nor any partner, joint venturer, director, officer, agent, servant or employee of Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for any loss, injury or damage to Tenant or to any other Person, or to its or their property, irrespective of the cause of such injury, damage or loss, unless caused by or resulting from the negligence of Landlord, its agents, servants or employees in the operation or maintenance of the Land or Building without contributory negligence on the part of Tenant or any of its subtenants or licensees or its or their employees, agents or contractors. Further, neither Landlord nor any partner, joint venturer, director, officer, agent, servant or employee of Landlord shall be liable (a) for any such damage caused by other tenants or Persons in, upon or about the Land or Building, or caused by operations in construction of any private, public or quasi-public work; or (b) even if negligent, for consequential damages arising out of any loss of use of the Demised Premises or any equipment or facilities therein by Tenant or any Person claiming through or under Tenant.

21.02. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Tenant shall look solely to the estate and property of Landlord in and to the Land and Building (or the proceeds thereof) in the event of any claim against Landlord arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant or Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises, and Tenant agrees that the liability of Landlord arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant or Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises shall be limited to such estate and property of Landlord (or proceeds). No other properties or assets of Landlord or any partner, joint venturer, director, officer, agent, servant or employee of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any judgment (or other judicial process) or for the satisfaction of any other remedy of Tenant arising out of, or in connection with, this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant or Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises and if Tenant shall acquire a lien on or interest in any other properties or assets by judgment or otherwise, Tenant shall promptly release such lien on or interest in such other properties and assets by executing, acknowledging and delivering to Landlord an instrument to that effect prepared by Landlord’s attorneys.

ARTICLE 22 - DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

22.01. If the Building or the Demised Premises shall be partially or totally damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (and if this Lease shall not be terminated as in this Article 22 hereinafter provided), Landlord shall repair the damage and restore and rebuild the Building and/or the Demised Premises (except for the Tenant’s Property) with reasonable dispatch after notice to it of the damage or destruction and the collection of the insurance proceeds attributable to such damage.

 

31


22.02. Subject to the provisions of Section 22.05, if all or part of the Demised Premises shall be damaged or destroyed or rendered completely or partially untenantable on account of fire or other casualty, the Rent shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, in the proportion that the untenantable area of the Demised Premises bears to the total area of the Demised Premises (to the extent of rent insurance proceeds received by Landlord from insurance maintained by Landlord or Tenant), for the period from the date of the damage or destruction to the date the damage to the Demised Premises shall be substantially repaired provided, however, should Tenant reoccupy a portion of the Demised Premises during the period the repair or restoration work is taking place and prior to the date that the Demised Premises are substantially repaired or made tenantable the Rent allocable to such reoccupied portion, based upon the proportion which the area of the reoccupied portion of the Demised Premises bears to the total area of the Demised Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from the date of such occupancy.

22.03. If (a) the Building or the Demised Premises shall be totally damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, or (b) the Building shall be so damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty that its repair or restoration requires the expenditure, as estimated by a reputable contractor or architect designated by Landlord and acceptable to Tenant, of more than [***] (or [***] if such casualty occurs during the last year of the Term) of the full insurable value of the Building immediately prior to the casualty, or (c) the Building shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty and either the loss shall not be covered by Landlord’s or Tenant’s insurance or the net insurance proceeds (after deducting all expenses in connection with obtaining such proceeds) shall, in the estimation of a reputable contractor or architect designated by Landlord and acceptable to Tenant be insufficient to pay for the repair or restoration work, then in either such case Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice to such effect within ninety (90) days after the date of the fire or other casualty. Tenant’s acceptance of such architect or contractor shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and acceptance shall be deemed if no response is received within five (5) Business Days of Landlord’s notice. Upon request by Tenant, Landlord shall advise Tenant of Landlord’s reasonably estimated completion date of such restoration (the “Landlord’s Advise”) and if such date is more than twelve (12) months following the date of casualty, provided Tenant’s grossly negligent or intentional acts were not cause of such casualty, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon fifteen (15) days’ prior notice to Landlord, given within fifteen (15) days of Landlord’s Advise. In addition, in the event the Demised Premises are not substantially restored on or before the later of the estimated date specified in the Landlord’s Advise, if any, or twelve (12) months following the date of casualty, provided Tenant’s grossly negligent or intentional acts were not the cause of such casualty, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Landlord, if given within the later of thirty (30) days following the estimated date specified in Landlord’s Advise, or thirteen (13) months following the date of casualty, provided Tenant’s grossly negligent or intentional acts were not the cause of such casualty.

22.04. Except as provided in the preceding section, Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease and no damages, compensation or claim shall be payable by Landlord for inconvenience, loss of business or annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Building pursuant to this Article 22. Landlord shall use its best efforts to make such repair or restoration promptly and in such manner as to not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Demised Premises, but Landlord shall not be required to do such repair or restoration work except during Business Hours on Business Days.

 

32


22.05. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Article 22, if by reason of some act or omission on the part of Tenant or any of its subtenants or its or their partners, directors, officers, servants, employees, agents or contractors, Landlord or any Superior Lessor or any Superior Mortgagee shall be unable to collect all of the insurance proceeds (including, without limitation, rent insurance proceeds) applicable to damage or destruction of the Building by fire or other casualty, then, without prejudice to any other remedies which may be available against Tenant, there shall be no abatement or reduction of the Rent. Further, nothing contained in this Article 21 shall relieve Tenant from any liability that may exist as a result of any damage or destruction by fire or other casualty.

22.06. Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind on the Tenant’s Property and, except as provided by law or by reason of Landlord’s breach of any of its obligations hereunder, shall not be obligated to repair any damage to or replace the Tenant’s Property.

22.07. The provisions of this Article 22 shall be deemed an express agreement governing any case of damage or destruction of the Building by fire or other casualty, and any law providing for such a contingency in the absence of an express agreement, now or hereafter in force, shall have no application in such case.

ARTICLE 23 - EMINENT DOMAIN

23.01. If the whole of the Demised Premises shall be taken by any public or quasi-public authority under the power of condemnation, eminent domain or expropriation, or in the event of conveyance of the whole of the Demised Premises in lieu thereof, this Lease shall terminate as of the day possession shall be taken by such authority. If [***]% or less of the Floor Space of the Building shall be so taken or conveyed, this Lease shall terminate only in respect of the part so taken or conveyed as of the day possession shall be taken by such authority. Except as otherwise provided herein, if more than [***]% of the Floor Space of the Building shall be so taken or conveyed, this Lease shall terminate only in respect of the part so taken or conveyed as of the day possession shall be taken by such authority, but either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon notice given to the other party within 30 days after such taking possession. Tenant shall also have the right to so terminate the Lease if commercially reasonable access to the Building shall be so taken or conveyed, or if any parking or truck court areas required for Tenant to conduct its normal business operations at the Demised Premises shall be so taken or conveyed, or if Tenant shall otherwise determine in its reasonable discretion that it is unable to conduct its business operations at the Demised Premises from a single location or otherwise in a cost effective manner at the Demised Premises as a result of any such taking or conveyance. If this Lease shall continue in effect as to any portion of the Demised Premises not so taken or conveyed, the Rent shall be computed as of the day possession shall be taken on the basis of the remaining Floor Space of the Building. Except as specifically provided herein, in the event of any such taking or conveyance there shall be no reduction in Rent. If this Lease shall continue in effect, Landlord shall, at its expense, but shall be obligated only to the extent of the net award or other compensation (after deducting all expenses in connection with obtaining same) available to Landlord for the improvements taken or conveyed (excluding any award or other compensation for land or for the

 

33


unexpired portion of the term of any Superior Lease), promptly make all necessary alterations so as to constitute the remaining Building a complete architectural and tenantable unit, except for the Tenants’ property, and Tenant shall make all alterations or replacements to the Tenant’s Property and decorations in the Demised Premises. All awards and compensation for any taking or conveyance, whether for the whole or a part of the Land or Building, shall be property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to any and all such awards and compensation, including, without limitation, any award or compensation for the value of the unexpired portion of the Term. Tenant shall be entitled to claim, prove and receive in the condemnation proceeding such award or compensation as may be allowed for the Tenant’s property and for loss of business, good will, and depreciation or injury to and cost of removal of the Tenant’s property, but only if such award or compensation shall be made by the condemning authority in addition to, and shall not result in a reduction of, the award or compensation made by it to Landlord.

23.02. If the temporary use or occupancy of all or any part of the Demised Premises shall be taken during the Term, Tenant shall be entitled, except as hereinafter set forth, to receive that portion of the award or payment for such taking which represents compensation for the use and occupancy of the Demised Premises, for the taking of the Tenant’s Property and for moving expenses, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive that portion which represents reimbursement for the cost of restoration of the Demised Premises. This Lease shall be and remain unaffected by such taking and Tenant shall continue responsible for all of its obligations hereunder insofar as such obligations are not affected by such taking and shall continue to pay the Rent in full when due. If the period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond the Expiration Date, that part of the award or payment which represents compensation for the use and occupancy of the Demised Premises (or a part thereof) shall be divided between Landlord and Tenant so that Tenant shall receive (except as otherwise provided below) so much thereof as represents compensation for the period up to and including the Expiration Date and Landlord shall receive so much thereof as represents compensation for the period after the Expiration Date. All monies to be paid to Tenant as, or as part of, an award or payment for temporary use and occupancy for a period beyond the date to which the Rent has been paid shall be received, held and applied by the first Superior Mortgagee (or if there is no Superior Mortgagee, by Landlord as a trust fund) for payment of the Rent becoming due hereunder.

ARTICLE 24 - SURRENDER

24.01. On the Expiration Date, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, or upon any reentry by Landlord upon the Demised Premises, Tenant shall quit and surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord “broom-clean” and in good order, condition and repair, except for ordinary wear and tear and such damage or destruction as Landlord is required to repair or restore under this Lease, and Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s property therefrom except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease.

24.02. If Tenant remains in possession of the Demised Premises after the expiration of the Term, Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying the Demised Premises at the sufferance of Landlord subject to all of the provisions of this Lease, except that the monthly Fixed Rent shall be twice the Fixed Rent in effect during the last month of the Term, except the holdover rate for the first month if Landlord is notified and if paid prior thereto shall be [***]% of such Fixed Rent.

 

34


24.03. No act or thing done by Landlord or its agents shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Demised Premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord.

ARTICLE 25 - CONDITIONS OF LIMITATION

25.01. This Lease is subject to the limitation that whenever Tenant or any Guarantor (a) shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (b) shall commence a voluntary case or have entered against it an order for relief under any chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) or any similar order or decree under any federal or state law, now in existence, or hereafter enacted having the same general purpose, and such order or decree shall have not been stayed or vacated within 90 days after entry, or (c) shall cause, suffer, permit or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, administrator, conservator, sequestrator, liquidator or similar official in any federal, state or foreign judicial or nonjudicial proceeding, to hold, administer and/or liquidate all or substantially all of its assets, and such appointment shall not have been revoked, terminated, stayed or vacated and such official discharged of his duties within 90 days of his appointment then Landlord, at any time after the occurrence of any such event, may give Tenant a notice of intention to end the Term at the expiration of five (5) days from the date of service of such notice of intention, and upon the expiration of said five (5) day period, whether or not the Term shall theretofore have commenced, this Lease shall terminate with the same effect as if that day were the expiration date of this Lease, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided in Article 27.

25.02. This Lease is subject to the further limitations that: (a) if Tenant shall default in the payment of any Rent and shall not cure such default within ten (10) days of such notice of default, or (b) if Tenant shall, whether by action or inaction, be in default of any of its obligations under this Lease (other than a default in the payment of Rent) and such default shall continue and not be remedied within thirty (30) days after Landlord shall have given to Tenant a notice specifying the same, or, in the case of a default which cannot with due diligence be cured within a period of thirty (30) days and the continuance of which for the period required for cure will not subject Landlord or any Superior Lessor or prosecution for a crime or offense (as more particularly described in Section 12.02) or termination of any Superior Lease or foreclosure of any Superior Mortgage, if Tenant shall not, (i) within said thirty (30) day period advise Landlord of Tenant’s intention to take all steps necessary to remedy such default, (ii) duly commence within said thirty (30) day period, and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all steps necessary to remedy the default, and (iii) complete such remedy within a reasonable time after the date of said notice by Landlord, or (c) if any event shall occur or any contingency shall arise whereby this Lease would, by operation of law or otherwise, devolve upon or pass to any person, firm or corporation other than Tenant, except as expressly permitted by Article 11, or (d) if Tenant shall abandon the Demised Premises, then in any of said cases Landlord may give to Tenant a notice of intention to end the Term at the expiration of five (5) days from the date of the service of such notice of intention, and upon the expiration of said five (5) days, whether or not the Term shall theretofore have commenced, this Lease shall terminate with the same effect as if that day were the expiration date of this Lease, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided in Article 27.

 

35


ARTICLE 26 - RE-ENTRY BY LANDLORD

26.01. If Tenant shall default in the payment of any Rent, or if this Lease shall terminate as provided in Article 25, Landlord or Landlord’s agents and employees may immediately or at any time thereafter re-enter the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor, and may repossess the same, and may remove any Person therefrom, to the end that Landlord may have, hold and enjoy the Demised Premises. The word “reenter,” as used herein, is not restricted to its technical legal meaning. If this Lease is terminated under the provisions of Article 25, or if Landlord shall re-enter the Demised Premises under the provisions of this Article 26, or in the event of the termination of this Lease, or of re-entry, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceedings or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Tenant shall thereupon pay to Landlord the Rent payable up to the time of such termination of this Lease, or of such recovery of possession of the Demised Premises by Landlord, as the case may be, and shall also pay to Landlord damages as provided in Article 27.

26.02. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall also have the right of injunction. The special remedies to which Landlord may resort hereunder are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies to which Landlord may lawfully be entitled at any time and Landlord may invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not provided for herein.

26.03. If this Lease shall terminate under the provisions of Article 25, or if Landlord shall reenter the Demised Premises under the provisions of this Article 26, or in the event of the termination of this Lease, or of re-entry, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to retain all monies, if any, paid by Tenant to Landlord, whether as Advance Rent, security or otherwise, but such monies shall be credited by Landlord against any Rent due from Tenant at the time of such termination or re-entry or, at Landlord’s option, against any damages payable by Tenant under Article 27 or pursuant to law with the excess, if any, promptly refunded to Tenant.

ARTICLE 27 - DAMAGES

27.01. If this Lease is terminated under the provisions of Article 25, or if Landlord shall reenter the Demised Premises under the provisions of Article 26, or in the event of the termination of this Lease, or of re-entry, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Tenant shall pay as Additional Charges to Landlord, at the election of Landlord, either or any combination of:

(a) a sum which at the time of such termination of this Lease or at the time of any such reentry by Landlord, as the case may be, represents the then value of the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate amount of the Rent which would have been payable by Tenant (conclusively presuming the average monthly Additional Charges to be the same as were the average monthly Additional Charges payable for the year, or if less than 365 days have then elapsed since the Commencement Date, the partial year, immediately preceding such termination or re-entry) for the period commencing with such earlier termination of this Lease or the date of any such re-entry, as the case may be, and ending with the Expiration Date, over (ii) the aggregate rental value of the Demised Premises for the same period; or

 

36


(b) sums equal to the Fixed Rent and the Additional Charges which would have been payable by Tenant had this Lease not so terminated, or had Landlord not so re-entered the Demised Premises, payable upon the due dates therefor specified herein following such termination or such re-entry and until the Expiration Date, provided, however, that if Landlord shall relet the Demised Premises during said period, Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from such reletting, such net rents to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents as and when received by Landlord from such reletting the expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this Lease or in re-entering the Demised Premises and in securing possession thereof, as well as the expenses of reletting, including, without limitation, altering and preparing the Demised Premises for new tenants, brokers’ commissions, legal fees, and all other expenses properly chargeable against the Demised Premises and the rental therefrom, it being understood that any such reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the period ending on the Expiration Date; but in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, nor shall Tenant be entitled in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this subdivision (b) to a credit in respect of any rents from a reletting, except to the extent that such net rents are actually received by Landlord. If the Demised Premises or any part thereof should be relet in combination with other space, then proper apportionment on a square foot basis shall be made of the rent received from such reletting and of the expenses of reletting.

If the Demised Premises or any part thereof should be re-let by Landlord before presentation of proof of such damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such re-letting shall, prima facie, be the fair and reasonable rental value for the Demised Premises, or part thereof, so re-let during the term of the re-letting. Landlord shall not be liable in any way whatsoever for its failure to re-let the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or if the Demised Premises or any part thereof are re-let, for its failure to collect the rent under such re-letting, and no such failure to re-let or failure to collect rent shall release or affect Tenant’s liability for damages or otherwise under this Lease. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to re-let the Demised Premises to mitigate Landlord’s damages. For the purposes hereof, “commercially reasonable efforts” shall mean the following actions, which actions shall create an irrebuttable presumption that Landlord has fulfilled such obligation: (i) Landlord shall include the availability of the Demised Premises in Landlord’s leasing flyers sent to brokers (if any), commencing following Landlord’s recovery of possession of the Demised Premises, and ending upon re-leasing of the Demised Premises; and (ii) Landlord shall include the availability of the Demised Premises on a website operated by Landlord or its affiliate (if any), commencing following Landlord’s recovery of possession of the Demised Premises, and ending upon re-leasing of the Demised Premises; and (iii) Landlord shall hold an “Open House” for the Demised Premises within forty-five (45) days of Landlord’s recovery of possession of the Demised Premises, or (iv) in lieu of (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph, upon Tenant’s written request, or at Landlord’s option, Landlord shall engage an independent commercial real estate broker to re-let the Demised Premises, the cost and expense of which shall be an element of Landlord’s damages in addition to any other damages recoverable pursuant to Section 29.01 hereof. Nothing contained herein shall require Landlord to re-let the Demised Premises prior to or with any preference over the leasing of any other similar

premises of Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord, nor shall any rental of such other premises reduce the damages which Landlord would be entitled to recover from Tenant. In the event Tenant, on behalf of itself or any and all persons claiming through or under Tenant, attempts to raise a defense or assert any affirmative obligations on Landlord’s part to mitigate such damages or re-let the Demised Premises other than as provided herein, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord as a result of any such defense or assertion, including but not limited to Landlords attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith.

27.02. Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages or, any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord at any time and from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the Term would have expired if it had not been so terminated under the provisions of Article 24, or under any provision of law, or had Landlord not re-entered the Demised Premises. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or preclude recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on the part of Tenant. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain as damages by reason of the termination of this Lease or re-entry of the Demised Premises for the default of Tenant under this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time, whether or not such amount be greater than, equal to, or less than any of the sums referred to in Section 27.01.

27.03. In addition, if this Lease is terminated under the provisions of Article 25, or if Landlord shall re-enter the Demised Premises under the provisions of Article 26, Tenant covenants that: (a) the Demised Premises then shall be in the same condition as that in which Tenant has agreed to surrender the same to Landlord at the Expiration Date; (b) Tenant shall have performed prior to any such termination any obligation of Tenant contained in this Lease for the making of any alteration or for restoring or rebuilding the Demised Premises or the Building, or any part thereof; and (c) for the breach of any covenant of Tenant set forth above in this Section 27.03, Landlord shall be entitled immediately, without notice or other action by Landlord, to recover, and Tenant shall pay, as and for liquidated damages therefor, the cost of performing such covenant (as estimated by an independent contractor selected by Landlord).

27.04. In addition to any other remedies Landlord may have under this Lease, and without reducing or adversely affecting any of Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Article 27, if any Rent or damages payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord are not paid within ten (10) Business Days of written demand therefor, the same shall bear interest at the Late Payment Rate or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less, from the due date thereof until paid, and the amounts of such interest shall be Additional Charges hereunder.

ARTICLE 28 - AFFIRMATIVE WAIVERS

28.01. Tenant, on behalf of itself and any and all persons claiming through or under Tenant, does hereby waive and surrender all right and privilege which it, they or any of them might have under or by reason of any present or future law, to redeem the Demised Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease after being dispossessed or ejected from the Demised Premises by process of law or under the terms of this Lease or after the termination of this Lease as provided in this Lease.

28.02. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either against the other on any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, and Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Demised Premises including, without limitation, any claim of injury or damage, and any emergency and other statutory remedy with respect thereto. Tenant shall not interpose any counterclaim of any kind in any action or proceeding commenced by Landlord to recover possession of the Demised Premises.

ARTICLE 29 - NO WAIVERS

29.01. The failure of either party to insist in any one or more instances upon the strict performance of any one or more of the obligations of this Lease, or to exercise any election herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of the performance of such one or more obligations of this Lease or of the right to exercise such election, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent breach, act or omission. The receipt by Landlord of Fixed Rent or Additional Charges with knowledge of breach by Tenant of any obligation of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach.

ARTICLE 30 - CURING TENANT’S DEFAULTS

30.01. If Tenant shall default in the performance of any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Landlord, without thereby waiving such default, may (but shall not be obligated to) perform the same for the account and at the expense of Tenant, without notice in a case of emergency, and in any other case only if such default continues after the expiration of thirty (30) days from the date Landlord gives Tenant notice of the default beyond applicable notice and cure periods. Charges for any expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any such performance by it for the account of Tenant, and charges for all costs, expenses and disbursements of every kind and nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, involved in collecting or endeavoring to collect the Rent or any part thereof or enforcing or endeavoring to enforce any rights against Tenant or Tenant’s obligations hereunder, under or in connection with this Lease or pursuant to law, including any such cost, expense and disbursement involved in instituting and prosecuting summary proceedings or in recovering possession of the Demised Premises after default by Tenant or upon the expiration of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease, and interest on all sums advanced by Landlord under this Article at the Late Payment Rate or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less, shall be payable by Tenant and may be invoiced by Landlord to Tenant monthly, or immediately, or at any time, at Landlord’s option, and such amounts shall be due and payable within ten (10) Business Days of the delivery of written demand therefor.

 

39


ARTICLE 31 - BROKER

31.01. Landlord and Tenant each represent to the other that no broker except the Broker was instrumental in bringing about or consummating this Lease and that Tenant had no conversations or negotiations with any broker except the Broker concerning the leasing of the Demised Premises to Tenant. The representing party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other against and from any claims for any brokerage commissions and all costs, expenses and liabilities in connection therewith, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising out of any conversations or negotiations had by the representing party with any broker other than the Broker. Landlord shall pay any brokerage commissions due the Broker pursuant to a separate agreement between Landlord and the Broker. Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Tenant against and from any claims for any brokerage commission and all costs, expenses and liabilities in connection therewith, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising out of claim for a commission or other compensation in connection with this Lease by the Broker.

ARTICLE 32 - NOTICES

32.01. Any notice, statement, demand, consent, approval or other communication required or permitted to be given, rendered or made by either party to the other, pursuant to this Lease or pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement (each a “Notice”), shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given, rendered or made only if hand delivered or sent by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the other party at the address hereinabove set forth and as to Landlord, to the attention of General Counsel with a concurrent copy of the Notice to the attention of Controller, as to Tenant, to the attention of the Chief Financial Officer with a concurrent copy of a Notice pertaining to a default and/or lease termination to Wolff & Samson PC, One Boland Drive, West Orange, New Jersey 07052, to the attention of Mitchell S.

Either party may, by notice as aforesaid, designate a different address or addresses for notices, statements, demands, consents, approvals or other communications intended for it. In addition, upon and to the extent requested by Landlord, copies of notices shall be sent to the Superior Mortgagee. Notices sent by counsel to either party and complying with the foregoing provisions of this Article 32 shall be valid and effective.

ARTICLE 33 - ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

33.01. Tenant shall, at any time and from time to time, as requested by the Landlord, but not 42 more than twice in a given twelve (12) month period, upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice, execute and deliver to the Landlord or a Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor a statement certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), certifying the dates to which the Fixed Rent and Additional Charges have been paid, stating whether or not, to the actual knowledge of Tenant, the Landlord is in default in performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, and, if so, specifying each such default of which Tenant shall have actual knowledge, and stating whether or not, to the actual knowledge of Tenant, any event has occurred which with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default of Landlord, and, if so, specifying each such event; any such statement delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed a representation and warranty to be relied upon by others with whom such party may be dealing, regardless of independent investigation, but as between Landlord and Tenant shall not be deemed to be an amendment of this Lease. Tenant also shall include in any such statement such other information concerning this Lease as Landlord may reasonably request.

 

40


33.02. Landlord shall, at any time and from time to time as requested by the Tenant, but not more frequently than twice in any given twelve (12) month period, upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice, execute and deliver to the Tenant or its designee a statement certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full for and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full for and effect as modified and stating the modifications), certifying the dates to which the Fixed Rent and Additional Charges have been paid, stating whether or not, to the actual knowledge of Landlord, the Tenant is in default in performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, and if so, specifying each such default of which Landlord shall have actual knowledge, and stating whether or not, to the actual knowledge of Landlord, any event has occurred which with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default of Tenant, and, if so, specifying each such event; any such statement delivered pursuant thereto shall be deemed a representation and warranty to be relied upon by others with whom Tenant may be dealing, regardless of independent investigation, but as between Landlord and Tenant shall not be deemed to be an amendment of this Lease.

The award in such arbitration may be enforced on the application of either party by the order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The fees and expenses of any arbitration shall be borne by the parties equally, but each party shall bear the expense of its own attorneys and experts and the additional expenses of presenting its own proof.

41


ARTICLE 36 - MISCELLANEOUS

36.01. Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has not made and is not making, and Tenant, in executing and delivering this Lease, is not relying upon, any warranties, representations, promises or statements, except to the extent that the same are expressly set forth in this Lease or in any other written agreement(s) which may be made between the parties concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Lease. All understandings and agreements heretofore had between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Lease are merged in this Lease and any other written agreement(s) made concurrently herewith, which alone fully and completely express the agreement of the parties and which are entered into after full investigation. Neither party has relied upon any statement or representation not embodied in this Lease or in any other written agreement(s) made concurrently herewith. The submission of this Lease to Tenant does not constitute by Landlord a reservation of, or an option to Tenant for, the Demised Premises, or an offer to lease on the terms set forth herein and this Lease shall become effective as a lease agreement only upon execution and delivery thereof by Landlord and Tenant.

36.02. No agreement shall be effective to change, modify, waive, release, discharge, terminate or effect an abandonment of this Lease, in whole or in part, unless such agreement is in writing, refers expressly to this Lease and is signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, modification, waiver, release, discharge, termination or effectuation of abandonment is sought.

36.03. If Tenant shall at any time request Landlord to sublet or let the Demised Premises for Tenant’s account, Landlord or its agent is authorized to receive keys for such purposes without releasing Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord of any liability for loss or damage to any of the Tenant’s Property in connection with such subletting or letting unless and to the extent resulting from the negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors.

36.04. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, the obligations under this Lease 44 shall bind and benefit the successors and assigns of the parties hereto with the same effect as if mentioned in each instance where a party is named or referred to; provided, however, that (a) no violation of the provisions of Article 11 shall operate to vest any rights in any successor or assignee of Tenant and (b) the provisions of this Section 36.04 shall not be construed as modifying the conditions of limitation contained in Article 25.

36.05. Except for Tenant’s obligations to pay Rent, the time for Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, to perform any of its respective obligations hereunder shall be extended if and to the extent that the performance thereof shall be prevented due to any Unavoidable Delay. Except as expressly provided to the contrary, the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or excused, nor shall Landlord have any liability whatsoever to Tenant, because Landlord is unable to fulfill, or is delayed in fulfilling, any of its obligations under this Lease due to any of the matters set forth in the first sentence of this Section 36.05, or because of any failure or defect in the supply, quality or character of electricity, water or any other utility or service furnished to the Demised Premises.

 

42


36.06. Any liability for payments hereunder during the Term (including, without limitation, Additional Charges) shall survive the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease.

36.07. If Tenant shall request Landlord’s consent and Landlord shall fail or refuse to give such consent, Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages for any withholding by Landlord of its consent; Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action for specific performance or injunction, and such remedy shall be available only in those cases where Landlord has expressly agreed in writing not to unreasonably withhold or delay its consent or where as a matter of law Landlord may not unreasonably withhold its consent.

36.08. Intentionally omitted.

36.09. Tenant shall not exercise its rights under Article 15 or any other provision of this Lease in a manner which would create any work stoppage, picketing labor disruption or dispute or any interference with the business of Landlord.

36.10. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of (a) any occurrence in or about the Demised Premises for which Landlord might be liable, (b) any fire or other casualty in the Demised Premises, (c) any damage to or defect in the Demised Premises, including the fixtures and equipment thereof, for the repair of which Landlord might be responsible, and (d) any damage to or defect in any part of the Building’s sanitary, electrical, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, elevator or other systems located in passing through the Demised Premises or any part thereof.

36.11. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey. Tenant and Landlord each hereby irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Lease may be brought in the Courts of the State of New Jersey, or the Federal District Court for the District of New Jersey, as Landlord or Tenant as plaintiff may elect. By execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant hereby irrevocably accepts and submits generally and unconditionally for itself and with respect to its properties, to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such action or proceeding, and hereby waives in the case of any such action or proceeding brought in the courts of the State of New Jersey, or Federal District Court for the District of New Jersey, any defenses based on jurisdiction, venue or forum non coveniens. If any provision of this Lease shall, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected and shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law. The table of contents, captions, headings and titles in this Lease are solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect its interpretation. This Lease shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party causing this Lease to be drafted. If any words or phrases in this Lease shall have been stricken out or otherwise eliminated, whether or not any other words or phrases have been added, this Lease shall be construed as if the words or phrases so stricken out or otherwise eliminated were never included in this Lease and no implication or inference shall be drawn from the fact that said words or phrases were so stricken out or otherwise eliminated. Each covenant, agreement, obligation or other provision of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed, shall be deemed and construed as a separate and independent covenant of Tenant, not dependent on any other provision of this Lease. All terms and words used in this Lease, regardless of the number or gender in which they are used, shall be deemed to include any other number and any other gender as the context may require. Tenant specifically agrees to pay all of

 

43


Landlord’s costs, charges and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with any document review requested by Tenant and upon submission of bills therefor. In the event Landlord permits Tenant to examine Landlord’s books and records with respect to any Additional Charge imposed under this Lease, such examination shall be conducted at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and shall be conditioned upon Tenant retaining an independent accounting firm for such purposes which shall not be compensated on any type of contingent fee basis with respect to such examination. Wherever in this Lease or by law Landlord is authorized to charge or recover costs and expenses for legal services or attorneys’ fees, same shall include, without limitation, the costs and expenses for in-house or staff legal counsel or outside counsel at rates not to exceed the reasonable and customary charges for any such services as would be imposed in an arm’s length third party agreement for such services.

36.12. Upon request made not more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a copy of its then current audited financial statement (provided however that an unaudited statement certified as true and complete by Tenant’s senior financial officer shall be acceptable in the event audited statements are not prepared for Tenant) which shall be employed by Landlord for purposes of financing the Premises and not distributed otherwise without prior authorization of Tenant.

36.13. (i) Tenant represents that the NAICS code number applicable to Tenant’s operations is 424310 which, as of the Commencement Date, does not subject the Demised Premises to the requirements of the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act, N.J.S.A. 13:1K-6 et seq. (“ISRA”) and applicable regulations, N.J.A.C. 7:26B-1.1 et seq.

(ii) Not later than ninety (90) days prior to the Expiration Date, Tenant shall provide to 46 Landlord an affidavit, executed by a duly authorized officer of Tenant, setting forth the following: (a) the NAICS code applicable to the operations performed at the Demised Premises; and (b) the type and amounts of any hazardous substances (as defined in N.J.A.C. 7:1E-1.6) treated, stored, disposed of, handled, or used in Tenant’s operations, except for such hazardous substances that may be ingredients in typical janitorial, maintenance, photography, warehouse, office and light assembly supplies so long as same are stored, handled and disposed of properly. During the term, Landlord reserves the right to require Tenant to execute an affidavit in similar form for any transaction which Landlord reasonably believes may trigger the requirements of ISRA, including without limitation, an assignment of this Lease, a subtenancy, or a sale or transfer of direct or indirect ownership or control of Tenant (a “Triggering Event”).

(iii) In the event Tenant, or the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“NJDEP”) determines that ISRA is applicable to a Triggering Event or Tenant’s cessation of operations at the Demised Premises, Tenant shall satisfy its obligations under ISRA prior to its lease termination date by securing an unconditional Response Action Outcome (or its equivalent in the event of a change of law) from a New Jersey Licensed Site Remediation Professional (“LSRP”) reasonably acceptable to Landlord with respect to the Demised Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the LSRP identifies areas of concern that are attributable solely to Landlord or other third parties (e.g., historic fill, railroad sidings, underground storage tanks, or such other areas of concern reasonably determined by the LSRP to have existed prior to the date Landlord delivers possession of the Demised Premises to Tenant) (“Landlord AOCs”), Landlord shall be solely responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for

 

44


investigating and remediating such Landlord AOCs. Except for the Landlord AOCs for which Landlord is responsible, Tenant shall bear sole responsibility for any investigation and cleanup costs, fees, penalties, or damages associated with ISRA compliance, including any supplemental obligations which may arise from any audit of the LSRP, or his/her work, whether such audit is performed by the NJDEP, or the LSRP licensing board. This requirement shall survive the termination of the Lease. In the event that Tenant is unable to complete its ISRA compliance obligations by the date of its lease termination, Landlord shall continue to provide Tenant with reasonable access to the Demised Premises, provided that any work undertaken by Tenant shall be performed in such a manner as to minimize interference with Landlord’s or any other tenant’s use of the Demised Premises. However, Landlord reserves its rights to deem Tenant a holdover tenant in the event that Tenant’s ISRA compliance unreasonably restricts the Landlord’s use of the Demised Premises.

(iv) Both Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate with each other with respect to any ISRA compliance obligations with respect to the Demised Premises which shall include, but not limited to, the sharing of all correspondence, documents, data and reports, including sampling results submitted to or received from any LSRP, governmental agency or third party.

36.14. Certification. Tenant certifies that: (i) It is not acting, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of any person, group, entity, or nation named by any Executive Order or the United States Treasury Department as a terrorist, “Specially Designated National and Blocked Person,” or other banned or blocked person, entity, nation, or transaction pursuant to any law, order, rule, or regulation that is enforced or administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control; and (ii) It is not engaged in this transaction, directly or indirectly on behalf of, or instigating or facilitating this transaction, directly or indirectly on behalf of, any such person, group, entity, or nation. Tenant hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, risks, liabilities, and expenses (including attorney’s fees and costs) arising from or related to any breach of the foregoing certification.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have duly executed this Lease as of the day and year first above written.

RIDER TO LEASE DATED MARCH 18, 2014, BETWEEN 35 ENTERPRISE AVENUE, L.L.C., AS LANDLORD AND THE REALREAL, INC., AS TENANT.

 

 

R1. If any of the provisions of this Rider shall conflict with any of the provisions, printed or typewritten, of this Lease, such conflict shall resolve in every instance in favor of the provisions of this Rider.

R2. Option to Renew: Provided Tenant is not then in monetary or material non-monetary default of any of the terms and provisions of this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, and provided Tenant has not sublet more than [***] percent of the Demised Premises in the aggregate to one or more third-party subtenants (i.e., subtenants that are not parents, subsidiaries or affiliates of Tenant), Tenant shall have [***] to extend the Term of its lease of the Demised Premises, from the date upon which this Lease would otherwise expire, for [***], upon the following terms and conditions:

a. If Tenant elects to exercise said option, it shall do so by giving notice of such election to Landlord on or before the date which is [***] before the beginning of the Extended Period for which the Term is to be extended by the exercise of such option. Tenant agrees that it shall have forever waived its right to exercise any such option if it shall fail for any reason whatsoever to give such notice to Landlord by the time provided herein for the giving of such notice, whether such failure is inadvertent or intentional, time being of the essence as to the exercise of each such option.

b. If Tenant elects to exercise said option, the Term shall be automatically extended for the Extended Period covered by the option so exercised without execution of an extension or renewal lease. Within [***] after request of either party following the effective exercise of any such option, however, Landlord and Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to each other duplicate originals of an instrument in recordable form confirming that such option was effectively exercised, provided, however, that the parties’ failure to do so shall not invalidate Tenant’s exercise of such option.

c. The Extended Period shall be upon the same terms and conditions as are in effect immediately preceding the commencement of such Extended Period; provided, however, that Tenant shall have no right or option to extend the Term for any period of time beyond the expiration of the Extended Period and, provided further, that in the Extended Period the Fixed Rent during the first twelve (12) months of each Extended Period shall be at Fair Market Value (“FMV”). FMV shall be determined by mutual agreement of the parties. If the parties are unable to agree on the FMV within [***] of Tenant’s exercise of its option, the parties shall choose a licensed Real Estate Appraiser who shall determine the FMV. The cost of said Real Estate Appraiser shall be borne equally by the parties. If the parties are unable to agree on a licensed Real Estate Appraiser within [***] of Tenant’s exercise of its option, each party shall select one Appraiser to appraise the FMV. All appraisals shall be rendered within


[***] of appointment of the respective Appraiser appointed under this paragraph. If the difference between the two appraisals is [***]% or less of the lower appraisal, then the FMV shall be the average of the two appraisals. If the difference between the two appraisals is greater than [***]% of the lower appraisal, the two Appraisers shall select a third licensed Real Estate Appraiser to appraise the FMV. The cost of the third appraisal shall be borne equally by the parties. If the two Appraisers shall be unable to reach agreement upon the third Appraiser within [***] of Tenant’s exercise of its option, either party may contact the nearest office of the American Arbitration Associations (the “Association”) and request that the Association select an independent Appraiser to determine the FMV in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph R2. Upon the Association’s designation of such Appraiser, such Appraiser shall be deemed to be the third Appraiser for purposes of this Paragraph R2. Landlord and Tenant shall split evenly the fees and expenses of the Association in selecting the third Appraiser and shall each pay their own costs and expenses of working with the Association in connection with such selection. Upon such date as shall be designated by the third Appraiser by written notice to Landlord and Tenant (which date shall be no sooner than [***] of the delivery of such notice), Tenant’s Appraiser and Landlord’s Appraiser each shall submit to the third Appraiser its written determination of the FMV for the Demised Premises for the first year of the applicable Extended Term. If only one party’s Appraiser shall submit such a written determination by the date designated by the third Appraisers, such party’s Appraiser’s determination of the FMV shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties and shall be the Fixed Rent during the first year of the applicable Extended Period. If both parties’ Appraisers shall timely deliver their written determinations of the FMV for the Demised Premises for the first year of the applicable Extended Term to the third Appraiser, the third Appraiser shall select the determination which is closest to the third Appraiser’s own determination of the FMV for the Demised Premises for the first year of the applicable Extended Term, and such determination shall be the Fixed Rent for the Demised Premises during the first year of the applicable Extended Term. The third Appraiser must select one of the two submitted determinations; it may not select its own determination. The third Appraiser shall provide notice of its selection to Landlord and Tenant within [***] of its receipt of the last of the Appraisers’ determination. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the Fixed Rent for the first year of each Extended Period shall not be less than the Fixed Rent for the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Extended Period for which the Fixed Rent is being calculated and the Fixed Rent shall increase by [***] annually on each anniversary of the commencement of each Extended Period.

d. Any termination, expiration, cancellation or surrender of this Lease shall terminate any right or option for the Extended Period not yet exercised.

e. Landlord shall have the right, for [***] after receipt of notice of Tenant’s election to exercise any option to extend the Term, to reject Tenant’s election if Tenant gave such notice while Tenant was in default in the performance of any of its monetary or other material non-monetary obligations under the Lease, beyond applicable notice and cure periods and such rejection shall automatically render Tenant’s election to exercise such option null and void and of no effect.

f. The option provided herein to extend the Term of the Lease may not be severed from the Lease or separately sold, assigned or otherwise transferred.


R3. Rent Abatement: Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 1.01(0), provided that Tenant is not then in default of its monetary or material non-monetary obligations under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Fixed Rent on [***] square feet of Floor Space (at the rate of $[***] per month) shall be abated for the period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015.

R4. Continued Certificate of Occupancy: Promptly following the date hereof, Landlord shall make an application for a Continued Certificate of Occupancy for the Building (“CCO”) and shall deliver same to Tenant promptly upon receipt of same. In the event Landlord fails to deliver the CCO to Tenant by April 15, 2014, except to the extent the delay in issuance arises from the actions of Tenant or its agents, then for every day beyond such date that the CCO is not delivered by Landlord to Tenant, the Rent Commencement Date as defined in Section 1.010, shall be delayed by one (1) day. (By way of example, if the CCO is issued five (5) days after April 15, 2014, then the Rent Commencement Date shall occur on July 5, 2014). In the event Landlord fails to deliver the CCO to Tenant by May 15, 2014, except to the extent the delay in issuance arises from the actions of Tenant or its agents, Tenant may, as its sole and exclusive remedy for Landlord’s failure to deliver the CCO by such date, terminate this Lease upon two days’ written notice to Landlord (which notice must be delivered by Tenant to Landlord not more than five (5) business days after May 15, 2014, time being of the essence, or such right to terminate will be deemed waived), and, promptly upon such termination, Landlord shall return to Tenant all monies, letters of credit and/or other security or other payments previously made or remitted by Tenant to Landlord, which obligation of Landlord shall survive such termination. Upon such termination, except for the foregoing obligation of Landlord, neither party shall have any further obligation under or in respect of this Lease.

R5. Repaving of Parking: In the event Tenant properly exercises its option to extend the Lease for the First Extended Period, Landlord shall at its sole cost and expense repave and restripe the parking areas (top coat thickness to be not less than two inches) not later than June 30, 2020.

R6.

In no event shall the Tenant Buildout Allowance exceed the invoices submitted for Permitted Buildout Items, nor shall Landlord be required to make reimbursement payments to Tenant more frequently than on a monthly basis. Such payment or credit shall be issued within ten (10) Business Days of Tenant’s satisfaction of the foregoing requirements.


R7. HVAC Warrantee: Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 17.02 of the Lease, for the period beginning on the Commencement Date and ending June 30, 2015 (the “Warrantee Period”) Landlord shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for performing all repairs and replacements to the existing five (5) roof top HVAC units at the Building (the “HVAC”), provided that during the Warrantee Period, Tenant will contract with a reputable HVAC contractor for a maintenance contract and no repairs or replacement required during the Warrantee Period shall be occasioned by the misuse or negligent or wrongful acts of Tenant or its employees, agents, or contractors. Any claim made hereunder must be made upon Landlord within the Warrantee Period. If Tenant shall make such a claim, Landlord shall promptly perform the required repair and/or replacement even if same is not completed by the expiration of the Warranty Period. Thereafter, Tenant shall repair and maintain the HVAC units at a cost not to exceed $[***] per unit during any given twelve (12) calendar month period for one or more of the HVAC units. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for such sums reasonably incurred that exceed such $[***] per year threshold via a credit against the following month(s) Fixed Rent.

Such payments shall be deemed to be an Additional Charge and shall be due on the first of the month together with Tenant’s payment of the monthly installment of Fixed Rent due for such month; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall Tenant have any obligation to pay any such monthly installments until Landlord shall deliver an invoice for same accompanied by copies of the third-party invoices submitted in connection with the replacement of the applicable HVAC unit, and (ii) Tenant shall have no obligation to reimburse Landlord for any of the amortized replacement costs that relate to any period from and after the expiration of the term of this Lease.

b. Tenant shall pay its own cost and expense of participating in any such proceedings and shall reimburse Landlord for its actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of prosecuting any such proceedings in the event Landlord elects at its option to do so, or providing any cooperation requested by Tenant. Any refund or credit for the Real Estate Taxes shall belong solely to Tenant to the extent it shall relate to the Term of this Lease. If any such refund shall be paid to Landlord, or if Landlord shall receive any such credit, it shall pay any amount equal to such refund or credit promptly upon Landlord’s receipt thereof. Such obligation shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Term of this Lease.

thirty (30) day period and thereafter prosecutes its cure to completion with commercially reasonable and diligent efforts. If the Landlord Default is not corrected within the applicable cure period, the Tenant shall have all rights powers or remedies permitted by law but under no circumstances shall Tenant be permitted to offset any sums incurred against Rent due under the Lease.

R21. Required Landlord Payments to Tenant: No payment by Landlord or receipt or acceptance by Tenant of a lesser amount than the correct payment or reimbursement due Tenant from Landlord shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Tenant may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Tenant’s right to recover the balance or pursue any other remedy in this Lease or at law provided.

R22. Landlord’s Work and Tenant’s Delays: Tenant shall not be charged with a Tenant Delay for delay in Landlord’s Work resulting from changes to Landlord’s Work requested by Tenant, including, without limitation, requested changes involving long lead-time items, unless (i) prior to approving such changes Landlord notifies Tenant of the estimated delay in Landlord’s Work likely to result from such changes, and (ii) Tenant provides notice to Landlord requesting that Landlord proceed with the requested change. In no event shall Tenant be charged with a Tenant Delay for a delay in submitting or approving plans or other information or materials unless Tenant shall fail to provide plans, information or other submissions, or consents or approvals, expressly provided for in the Lease within the time periods expressly set forth in the Lease.

Hartz Green Building and Sustainability Initiative

No matter one’s political stripe, it cannot be denied that energy and natural resources are finite, climate change is upon us, and a sustainable future requires a fundamental shift in the national and international consciousness. As we move forward into the 21st century, we must recognize that sustainable development must meet the needs of the present, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

With over 38 million square feet of buildings, Hartz is uniquely situated to address these challenges. USEPA estimates that in the United States, buildings account for:

 

   

39% of energy use

 

   

12% of total water consumption

 

   

68% of total electricity consumption; and

 

   

38% of carbon dioxide emissions

Starting now, Hartz will begin implementing its Green Building and Sustainability Initiative. We will commence by evaluating energy consumption in existing buildings, and moving forward with energy saving measures, both technical and institutional. Technical early actions may range from converting from incandescent to fluorescent light bulbs, installing automatic motion-activated switches, and making changes to our HVAC and plumbing systems. Institutional changes will include, to the extent both economic and practical, changes to our building and vendor specifications to require use of sustainable materials and practices, and changes to our leases to promote tenant use of energy-efficient technology.

Our longer-term goals will be to reduce our “carbon footprint.” Though not yet here, we envision technology that will allow our buildings to be energy self-sustaining. Our many acres of roofs alone have the potential to serve as energy farms, generating electricity for our building tenants, and potentially adding energy to the grid.

To move forward with this vision, I have established a Sustainability Committee, made up of members from our Administration, Environmental, Legal, Architecture, and Property Management departments, to begin developing and implementing ways to reduce our energy consumption and carbon footprints, and to promote a sustainable real estate portfolio. But achieving our goals will require more than a committee — it will require a commitment from all of us. Our success has always been achieved through collaboration and collective effort. Whether you are an employee, tenant, or vendor, your perspective is invaluable. We welcome your ideas and inspiration.

NOTICE: THIS SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT RESULTS IN YOUR LEASEHOLD ESTATE IN THE PROPERTY BECOMING SUBJECT TO AND OF LOWER PRIORITY THAN THE LIEN OF THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS (DEFINED BELOW).

THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made as of                 , 2    , by and between (“Tenant”), and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Trustee, successor-in-interest to. BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Trustee, successor by merger to LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Trustee, for the registered holders of Bear Stearns Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-PWR16 (“Lender”).

R E C I T A L S

 

A.

(“Owner”) is the owner of the land and improvements commonly known as and more specifically described in Exhibit A attached hereto (“Property”).

 

B.

Tenant is the lessee under a lease dated                 , 2    , executed by Owner (or its predecessor in interest), as landlord, and Tenant, as tenant (as the same may have been amended, the “Lease”), covering certain premises (the “Premises”) compromising all or a part of the Property.

 

C.

Lender is the current holder of a mortgage loan (the “Loan”) previously made to Owner, evidenced by a note (the “Note”) and secured by, among other things: (a) a first mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt encumbering the Property (the “Mortgage”); and (b) a

 

1


  first priority assignment of leases and rents on the Property (the “Assignment of Leases and Rents”) contained in the Mortgage or in a separate document. The Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases and Rents are collectively referred to as the “Security Documents.” The Note, the Security Documents and all other documents executed in connection with the Loan are collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents.”

 

D.

Tenant has requested Lender’s agreement that if Lender forecloses the Mortgage or otherwise exercises Lender’s remedies under the Security Documents, Lender will not disturb Tenant’s right to quiet possession of the Premises under the terms of the Lease.

 

E.

Lender is willing to so agree on the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Tenant’s agreement to subordinate the Lease and attorn to Lender as provided herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for mutual consideration, including the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.

SUBORDINATION. The Lease is and shall remain unconditionally subject and subordinate to (a) the liens or charges imposed by the Security Documents, (b) all currently outstanding or future advances secured by the Security Documents, and (c) all renewals, amendments, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions of the Security Documents. The subordination described herein is intended by the parties to have the same force and effect as if the Security Documents and such renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions of the Security Documents had been executed, acknowledged, delivered and recorded prior to the Lease and any amendments or modifications thereof.

 

2.

NON-DISTURBANCE. If Lender exercises any of its rights under the Security Documents, including any right of entry on the Property pursuant to the Mortgage or upon a foreclosure of or deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage, Lender shall not disturb Tenant’s right of quiet possession of the Premises under the terms of the Lease, so long as Tenant is not in default under this Agreement or in default beyond any applicable grace period under the Lease.

 

3.

ATTORNMENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, should title to the Premises and the landlord’s interest in the Lease be transferred to Lender or any other person or entity by foreclosure of or deed in-lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage, Tenant shall, for the benefit of Lender or such other person or entity, effective immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such transfer, attorn to Lender or such other person or entity as landlord under the Lease and shall be bound under all provisions of the Lease including, but not limited to, the obligation to pay all rent required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of the Lease, for the remainder of the Lease term.

 

2


4.

PROTECTION OF LENDER. If Lender succeeds to the interest of landlord under the Lease, Lender shall not be: (a) liable for any act or omission of any previous landlord under the Lease; (b) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant may have against any previous landlord under the Lease; (c) bound by any payment of rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than one month in advance of the due date under the Lease to any previous landlord; (d) obligated to make any payment to Tenant which any previous landlord was required to make before Lender succeeded to the landlord’s interest; (e) accountable for any monies deposited with any previous landlord (including security deposits), except to the extent such monies are actually received by Lender; (f) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease or any waiver of any term of the Lease made without Lender’s written consent; (g) bound by any surrender or termination of the Lease made without Lender’s written consent (unless effected unilaterally by Tenant pursuant to the express terms of the Lease); (h) obligated to complete any improvement or construction on the Property or to pay or reimburse Tenant for any tenant improvement allowance, construction allowance or leasing commissions; (i) liable for any default of any previous landlord under the Lease; (j) bound by any provision in the Lease granting Tenant a purchase option or first right of refusal or offer with regard to the Property. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the Lease, upon any such succession, the Lease shall be deemed to have been automatically amended to provide that Lender’s obligations and liabilities under the Lease shall be limited solely to Lender’s interest, if any, in the Property, and the proceeds from any sale or disposition of the Property by Lender (collectively, “Lender’s Interest”) and, following such succession, Tenant shall look exclusively to Lender’s Interest for the payment or discharge of any obligations of Lender under the Lease.

 

5.

LENDER’S RIGHT TO CURE. Tenant shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of any default(s) by landlord under the Lease in the same manner as, and whenever, Tenant shall give any such notice to Owner, and no such notice shall be deemed given to Owner unless and until a copy of such notice shall have been so delivered to Lender. Lender shall have the right to remedy, or cause to be remedied, any default by Owner under the Lease, and, for such purpose Tenant grants Lender such additional period of time as may be reasonable to enable Lender to remedy, or cause to be remedied, any such default in addition to the period given to Owner for remedying, or causing to be remedied, any such default. Tenant shall accept performance by Lender of any covenant or condition to be performed by Owner under the Lease with the same force and effect as though performed by Owner. No default by Landlord under the Lease shall exist or shall be deemed to exist (a) so long as Lender, in good faith, shall have commenced to cure such default within the above-referenced time period and shall be prosecuting the same to completion with reasonable diligence, subject to force majeure, or (b) if possession of the Premises is required in order to cure such default, or if such default is not susceptible of being cured by Lender, so long as Lender, in good faith, shall have notified Tenant that Lender intends to institute enforcement proceedings under the Security Documents, and, thereafter, so long as such proceedings shall have been instituted and shall be prosecuted with reasonable diligence. Lender shall have the right, without notice to Tenant or Tenant’s consent, to foreclose the Mortgage or to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or otherwise realize upon the Mortgage or to exercise any other remedies under the Security Documents or state law.

6.

ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS. Tenant consents to the Assignment of Leases and Rents and acknowledges Lender shall have no duty, liability or obligation whatsoever under the Lease or any extension or renewal thereof, either by virtue of said assignment or by any subsequent receipt or collection of rents thereunder, unless Lender shall specifically undertake such liability in writing or unless Lender or its designee or nominee becomes, and then only with respect to periods in which Lender or its designee or nominee becomes, the fee owner of the Premises. Upon Tenant’s receipt of a written notice from Lender of a default by Owner under the Loan, Tenant shall thereafter, if requested by Lender, pay rent to Lender in accordance with the terms of the Lease. Lender’s delivery of such notice to Tenant, or Tenant’s compliance therewith, shall not be deemed to (a) cause Lender to succeed to or assume any obligations or responsibilities of Owner under the Lease or (b) relieve Owner of any of its obligations under the Lease.

 

7.

INSURANCE PROCEEDS AND CONDEMNATION AWARDS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the Lease, the terms of the Loan Documents shall continue to govern with respect to the disposition of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, and any obligations of Owner to restore the Property following a casualty or condemnation shall, insofar as they apply to Lender, be limited to the amount of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards received by Lender after the deduction of all costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such proceeds or awards. Following the foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage, the provisions of this section shall remain in full force and effect unless and until fee title to the Premises becomes vested in a person or entity other than (a) the holder of the Loan at the time of such foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure or (b) a parent, subsidiary or affiliate of such holder.

 

8.

ASSIGNMENT OF LEASE BY TENANT. Tenant shall not assign any right or interest of Tenant under the Lease (except for an assignment that is permitted under the Lease without Owner’s consent), without Lender’s prior written consent.

 

9.

MISCELLANEOUS.

 

  9.1

Heirs, Successors and Assigns. The covenants herein shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the heirs, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. The term “Lender” as used herein includes any successor or assign of the named Lender herein, including without limitation, any co-lender at the time of making the Loan, any purchaser at a foreclosure sale and any transferee pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, and their successors and assigns, trustees and agents, as well as any single purpose entity established by Lender to take title to the Property by reason of such foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. The terms “Tenant” and “Owner” as used herein include any successor or assign of the named Tenant and Owner herein, respectively; provided, however, that such reference to Tenant’s or Owner’s successors and assigns shall not be construed as Lender’s consent to any assignment or other transfer by Tenant or Owner.

1. Granting Clause. In consideration of the obligation of Tenant to pay rent as herein provided and in consideration of the other terms, covenants, and conditions hereof, Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant takes from Landlord, the Premises, to have and to hold for the Lease Term, subject to the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. In addition, Tenant shall have the right to use the common areas of the Project appurtenant to the Premises on a non-exclusive basis.


2. Acceptance of Premises. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has made no representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises, Building, or Project except as specifically stated in this Lease. Tenant shall accept the Premises subject to all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, covenants and restrictions. In no event shall Landlord have any obligation for any limitation on the use of the Premises. Subject to Landlord’s obligations under Addendum 5 Work Letter, the taking of possession of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant accepts the Premises and that the Premises were in good condition at the time possession was taken except for items that are Landlord’s responsibility under Paragraph 10 and Landlord’s or third party obligations expressly set forth under the Lease with respect to Hazardous Materials. No later than 10 days after written demand is made therefor by Landlord of Tenant, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a factually accurate Commencement Date Certificate in the form of Exhibit C attached to and hereby made a part of this Lease.

3. Use. The Premises shall be used only for the purpose of receiving, storing, shipping and selling (but specifically excluding retail selling to customers at the Premises) products, materials and merchandise made and/or distributed by Tenant (including without limitation e-commerce consumer products), along with freight forwarding and related administrative uses, and for such other lawful purposes as may be incidental thereto; provided, however, with Landlord’s prior written consent, Tenant may also use the Premises for light manufacturing. Tenant shall not conduct or give notice of any auction, liquidation, or going out of business sale on the Premises. Tenant will use the Premises in a careful, safe and proper manner and will not commit waste, overload the floor or structure of the Premises or subject the Premises to use that would damage the Premises. Tenant shall not permit any objectionable or unpleasant odors, smoke, dust, gas, noise, or vibrations to emanate from the Premises, or take any other action that would constitute a nuisance or would disturb, unreasonably interfere with, or endanger Landlord or any tenants of the Project. Outside storage, including without limitation, storage of trucks and other vehicles, is prohibited without Landlords prior written consent; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to park operable vehicles and trailers overnight at the truck loading docks and designated truck and trailer parking areas for the Premises and operable automobiles in the designated automobile parking areas, and further provided there is no interference with the access of other tenants to the Building and Project parking lots and truck courts. Except for Landlord’s obligations in connection with the delivery of the Premises set forth in the Addendum 5 Work Letter, Tenant, at its sole expense, shall use and occupy the Premises in compliance with all laws, including, without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act, orders, judgments, ordinances, regulations, codes, directives, permits, licenses, covenants and restrictions now or hereafter applicable to the Premises (collectively, “Legal Requirements”). The Premises shall not be used as a place of public accommodation under the Americans With Disabilities Act or similar state statutes or local ordinances or any regulations promulgated thereunder, all as may be amended from time to time. Tenant shall, at its expense, make any alterations or modifications, within or without the Premises, that are required by Legal Requirements related to Tenant’s use or occupation of the Premises; provided, however, Tenant shall only be required to make structural changes to the Premises to the extent such changes are required due to Tenant-Made Alterations, racking or fixturing or Tenant’s particular use of the Premises. Tenant will not use or permit the Premises to be used for any purpose or in any manner that would void Tenant’s or Landlord’s insurance, increase the


insurance risk, or cause the disallowance of any sprinkler credits. If any increase in the cost of any insurance on the Premises or the Project is caused by Tenant’s use or occupation of the Premises, or because Tenant vacates the Premises, then Tenant shall pay the amount of such increase to Landlord. Any occupation of the Premises by Tenant prior to the Commencement Date shall be subject to all obligations of Tenant under this Lease, other than the payment of rent for the portion of the Initial Improvements not Substantially Completed.

4. Base Rent. Tenant shall pay Base Rent in the amount set forth on Page 1 of this Lease. The first month’s Base Rent, the Security Deposit, and the first monthly installment of estimated Operating Expenses (as hereafter defined) shall be due and payable on the date hereof, and such Base Rent and Operating Expenses payments shall be applied to the first full month’s rental due after the expiration of the free rent period set forth in Addendum One. Tenant promises to pay to Landlord in advance, without demand, deduction or set-off, monthly installments of Base Rent on or before the first day of each calendar month succeeding the Commencement Date in accordance with the rent scheduled set forth in Addendum One. Payments of Base Rent for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated. All payments required to be made by Tenant to Landlord hereunder (or to such other party as Landlord may from time to time specify in writing) shall be made by check or by Electronic Fund Transfer (“EFT”) of immediately available federal funds before 11:00 a.m., Pacific Time at such place, within the continental United States, as Landlord may from time to time designate to Tenant in writing. The obligation of Tenant to pay Base Rent and other sums to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are independent obligations. Except as expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant shall have no right at any time to abate, reduce, or set-off any rent due hereunder except as may be expressly provided in this Lease. If Tenant is delinquent in any monthly installment of Base Rent or of estimated Operating Expenses for more than 5 days, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge equal to 5 percent of such delinquent sum, provided the first late charge in any 12 month period shall be waived by Landlord. The provision for such late charge shall be in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as a penalty.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties anticipate that Landlord will be able to Substantially Complete certain portions of the Warehouse Initial Improvements in phases (the “Phased Space”) for delivery to Tenant in such a condition that Tenant can commence business operations within such Phased Space and prior to the completion of the Office Initial Improvements. Plans depicting each Phased Space of the Warehouse Space are attached hereto as Exhibits A-1 and A-2. Tenant shall be permitted to attend all weekly project meetings and Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to advise Tenant of a change in the regular schedule of the same. At least five (5) business days prior to delivery of any such Phased Space Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s intention to deliver such Phased Space. Upon delivery of the Phased Space Tenant shall pay Base Rent and Operating Expenses on a proportionate basis for such Phased Space, using the Base Rent amount of $[***] per square foot per month and prorated Operating Expenses applicable to such Phased Space. During any such phased occupancy of Phased Space prior to the Commencement Date Tenant shall be bound by its obligations under the Lease, including the obligation to provide evidence of insurance. The delivery of any Phased Space, and Tenant’s acceptance of any Phased Space, shall not affect the Commencement Date, which shall not be deemed to occur until Substantial Completion of the Warehouse Initial Improvements (as defined in Addendum 5), excluding the Building Upgrades. Upon Substantial Completion of the Warehouse Initial Improvements, the Commencement Date


shall be deemed to occur and Tenant shall commence payment of Base Rent for the Warehouse Space in accordance with the Base Rent schedule set forth in Addendum 1. Tenant’s obligation to commence payment of Base Rent with respect to the Office Space shall commence upon Substantial Completion of the Office Initial Improvements (and the free rent period applicable to the Office Space shall also commence on such Substantial Completion such that Tenant will receive the full value of the Base Rent abatement (which variable amount depending on Tenant’s closing on Series E funding is shown on Addendum 1), subject to Tenant’s funding pursuant to Addendum 1, where it shall be offset against Tenant’s Base Rent obligation as it becomes due upon delivery of the Premises),

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Substantial Completion of the Creative Space Improvements and the Building Upgrades (as each term is defined in Addendum 5) is not a condition for the obligation to commence payment of Base Rent and Operating Expenses, and Tenant acknowledges that the Creative Space Improvements and the Building Upgrades will not be Substantially Completed prior to the Commencement Date, and shall not affect the Term of the Lease. Base Rent and Operating Expense obligations for the portion of the Warehouse Space that includes the Creative Space Improvements shall commence as soon as the Office Initial Improvements have been Substantially Completed, regardless of whether the Creative Space Improvements and Building Upgrades are Substantially Complete.

5. Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. The Security Deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of Landlord’s damages in case of Tenant’s default. Upon each occurrence of an Event of Default (hereinafter defined), Landlord may use all or part of the Security Deposit to pay delinquent payments due under this Lease, and the cost of any damage, injury, expense or liability caused by such Event of Default, without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein or provided by law. Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand the amount that will restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Landlord’s obligation respecting the Security Deposit is that of a debtor, not a trustee; no interest shall accrue thereon. The Security Deposit shall be the property of Landlord, but shall be paid to Tenant when Tenant’s obligations under this Lease have been completely fulfilled. Landlord shall not be required to keep all or any part of the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts. Tenant waives any limitations set forth in California Civil Code Section 1950.7 limiting the use to which a security deposit may be applied. Landlord shall be released from any obligation with respect to the Security Deposit upon transfer of this Lease and the Premises to a person or entity assuming Landlord’s obligations under this Paragraph 5.

The Security Deposit under the Lease shall be $[***], in the form of an unconditional, irrevocable letter of credit from Pacific Western Bank and in substantially similar form as shown in Exhibit D attached hereto (“Letter of Credit”). The Letter of Credit shall either provide that it does not expire until 60 days following the end of the Lease Term or, if it is for less than the full term of the Lease, shall be renewed by Tenant at least 60 days prior to its expiration during the Term of the Lease. The Letter of Credit shall provide that it may be drawn down upon by Landlord at any time Landlord delivers its site draft to the bank consistent with the terms herein. If Landlord sells or conveys the Premises, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request and Tenant’s expense, cooperate in having the Letter of Credit transferred to the purchaser and Landlord agrees to notify Tenant in the event of such transfer. If the Letter of Credit is ever drawn upon by Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Lease, Tenant shall within ten (10) days thereafter cause the Letter of Credit to be restored to the then existing amount at the time of the draw down.


Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event Tenant fails to renew the Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms and conditions as set forth in this Paragraph 5, or in the event that Tenant shall commence any proceeding for relief, as defined in Paragraph 23(ii) of the Lease, an immediate Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred, without the requirement of notice or opportunity to cure, in which case Landlord may immediately draw down on the Letter of Credit.

Once each of the following conditions have been met: (i) no Event of Default shall then exist or has existed at any time during the Lease Term or would exist but with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both and (ii) Tenant has received at least $[***] of Series E Funding, as confirmed by Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion, the required amount of the Letter of Credit shall be reduced to $[***]. Provided that each of the following conditions have been met as of the expiration of the 36th full month following the Commencement Date: (i) no Event of Default shall then exist or has existed at any time during the Lease Term or would exist but with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, (ii) Tenant has achieved 12 consecutive months of positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), and (iii) Tenant has a tangible net worth of at least $[***], then on the first day of the 37th month following the Commencement Date the required amount of the Letter of Credit shall be reduced to $[***]. Prior to such Letter of Credit reduction, Tenant shall provide Landlord with audited financial statements evidencing the satisfaction of the foregoing requirements.

6. Operating Expense Payments. During each month of the Lease Term, but excluding the free rent period set forth in Addendum 1, Tenant shall pay Landlord on the same date that Base Rent is due an amount equal to 1/12 of the annual cost, as estimated by Landlord from time to time, of Tenant’s Proportionate Share (hereinafter defined) of Operating Expenses for the Project. Payments thereof for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated. Landlord agrees to incur Operating Costs in a commercially reasonable manner. The term “Operating Expenses” means all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to the ownership, maintenance, and operation of the Project including, but not limited to costs of: Taxes (hereinafter defined) and fees payable to tax consultants and attorneys for consultation and contesting taxes; insurance; utilities; maintenance, repair and replacement of all portions of the Project, including without limitation, paving and parking areas, roads, non-structural components of the roofs (including the roof membrane), alleys, and driveways, mowing, landscaping, exterior painting, utility lines, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, lighting, electrical systems and other mechanical and building systems; amounts paid to contractors and subcontractors for work or services performed in connection with any of the foregoing; charges or assessments of any association to which the Project is subject; market rate property management fees payable to a property manager, including any affiliate of Landlord, or if there is no property manager, an administration fee of 10 percent of Operating Expenses payable to Landlord; security services, if any; trash collection, sweeping and removal; and (x) additions or alterations made by Landlord to the Project or the Building in order to comply with Legal Requirements applicable to the Project after the date of this Lease (other than those expressly required herein to be made by Tenant) or that are appropriate to the continued efficient operation of the Project or the Building as a bulk warehouse facility in the market area or (y) or capital repairs or replacements needed to operate


the Building or Project at the same quality levels (or levels of efficiency) as prior to the capital repair or replacement, provided that the cost of additions or alterations or replacement equipment that are required to be capitalized for federal income tax purposes shall be amortized on a straight line basis over a period equal to the lesser of the useful life thereof for federal income tax purposes or 10 years. Operating Expenses shall not include the following: (a) debt service under mortgages or ground rent under ground leases; (b) leasing commissions, or the costs of renovating space for tenants; (c) repairs, alterations, additions, improvements or replacements made to rectify or correct any defect in the design, materials or workmanship of the Premises, the Building or the Project; (d) costs of repairs, restoration, replacements or other work occasioned by (i) fire, windstorm or other casualty (including the costs of any deductibles paid by Landlord) and either (aa) payable (whether paid or not) by insurance required to be carried by Landlord under this Lease, or (bb) otherwise paid by insurance then in effect obtained by Landlord, (ii) the negligence or intentional tort of Landlord, or any representative, employee or agent of Landlord, (iii) the act of any other tenant in the Premises, the Building or the Project, or any other tenant’s agents, employees, licensees or invitees to the extent the applicable cost is, in the Landlord’s reasonable judgment, practically recoverable from such person; (e) costs incurred (less costs of recovery) for any items to the extent such amounts are, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, recoverable by Landlord under a manufacturer’s, materialman’s, vendor’s or contractor’s warranty; (f) non-cash items, such as deductions for depreciation and amortization of the Premises, the Building or the Project and the Premises, the Building or the Project equipment, or interest on capital invested; (g) legal fees, accountants’ fees and other expenses incurred in connection with disputes with other tenants or occupants of the Premises, the Building or the Project or associated with the enforcement of any lease or defense of Landlord’s title to or interest in the Premises, the Building or the Project or any part thereof; (h) costs incurred due to violation by Landlord or any other tenant in the Premises, the Building or the Project of the terms and conditions of any lease; (i) the cost of any service provided to Tenant or other occupants of the Premises, the Building or the Project for which Landlord is entitled to be reimbursed; (j) charitable or political contributions; (k) interest, penalties, fines or other costs arising out of Landlord’s failure to comply with Legal Requirements or make timely payments of its obligations; (I) costs, expenses, depreciation or amortization for repairs and replacements expressly required to be made by Landlord at its sole cost under Paragraph 10 of this Lease; (m) reserves, including reserves for capital items, bad debts, or rental losses, (n) all costs related to the presence of preexisting Hazardous Materials (defined below) located at the Project (without releasing Tenant from an obligations with respect to Hazardous Materials expressly set forth in Paragraph 30); (o) fines and penalties incurred due to Landlord’s operation of the Project in violation of Legal Requirements or due to Landlord’s failure to timely pay Taxes (unless due to Tenant’s failure to pay for the Taxes included in Operating Expenses), and (p) costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the correction of defects in the original construction of the Building or Project or in connection with Landlord’s construction of the Initial Improvements.

By the first day of July of each succeeding calendar year during the Lease Term, or as soon thereafter as possible (but in all events within one (1) year after the end of the applicable calendar year), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement (“Actual Statement”) wherein Landlord shall state the actual Operating Expenses for the preceding calendar year. If the Actual Statement reveals Tenant’s total payments of Operating Expenses for any year are less than Tenant’s Proportionate Share of actual Operating Expenses for such year, then Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within 30 days after demand, and if more, then Landlord shall retain such


excess and credit it against Tenant’s next payments except that during the last calendar year of the Lease Term or any extension terms thereof, Landlord shall refund any such excess within 60 days following the termination of the Lease Term or any extension terms thereof, provided that Tenant is not in default of its obligations under this Lease. For purposes of calculating Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses, a year shall mean a calendar year, except the first year, for which Landlord shall equitably prorate Operating Expenses based on the portion of the Premises occupied during such year by Tenant and Tenant’s payment of actual rent for such occupied space, and the last year, which shall end on the expiration of this Lease. With respect to Operating Expenses which Landlord allocates to the entire Project, Tenant’s “Proportionate Share” shall be the percentage set forth on the first page of this Lease as Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Project as reasonably adjusted by Landlord in the future for changes in the physical size of the Premises or the Project; and, with respect to Operating Expenses which Landlord allocates only to the Building, Tenant’s “Proportionate Share” shall be the percentage set forth on the first page of this Lease as Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Building as reasonably adjusted by Landlord in the future for changes in the physical size of the Premises or the Building. Landlord may equitably increase Tenant’s Proportionate Share for any item of expense or cost reimbursable by Tenant that relates to a repair, replacement, or service that benefits only the Premises or only a portion of the Project or Building that includes the Premises or that varies with occupancy or use. The estimated Operating Expenses for the Premises set forth on the first page of this Lease are only estimates, and Landlord makes no guaranty or warranty that such estimates will be accurate.

Tenant, at its expense, shall have the right upon 10 days prior written notice to Landlord (an “Audit Notice”) to be given only within 120 days after Tenant receives an Actual Statement to audit Landlord’s books and records relating to such Actual Statement with respect to any specific charge or charges disputed in writing by Tenant, subject to the further terms and provisions of this Paragraph: (a) no audit shall be conducted at any time that Tenant is in breach or default of any of the terms, covenants or provisions of this Lease (any required notice having been given and any applicable cure period having expired); (b) no audit shall be conducted on a contingency fee basis; and (c) Tenant shall not audit Landlord’s books and records more than one (1) time for any calendar year. After delivery of the audit notice to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to inspect Landlord’s books and records in an office of Landlord, or Landlord’s agent, in Fremont, California, during normal business hours, whose payment shall in no way be contingent or based upon the findings of the audit. Tenant shall not remove such books or records from Landlord’s office, but Tenant shall have the right to make copies of the relevant documents at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the results of such audit within 10 days after receipt by Tenant. The nature and content of any audit are strictly confidential. Tenant, for itself and on behalf of its representatives, shall not disclose the information obtained from the audit to any other tenant in the Project. If as a result of its audit, Tenant determines that the actual Operating Expenses for the period covered by any statement are more than the amount shown on such statement, Tenant shall promptly pay Landlord the deficiency. If as a result of its audit, Tenant determines that the actual Operating Expenses for the period covered by any statement are less than the amount shown on such statement, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of such determination, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the results of Tenant’s audit. Upon receipt of such notice and accompanying information, Landlord may object to Tenant’s determination by providing Tenant with written notice of such objection within 30 days following receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s notice and accompanying information. Unless Landlord so objects, Landlord shall credit to Tenant the excess as determined by the results of Tenant’s audit


within 30 days following receipt of Tenant’s notice and accompanying information. If, however, Landlord timely objects, Landlord and Tenant shall appoint, by mutual agreement, a neutral independent certified public accountant, whose payment shall in no way be contingent or based upon the findings of the audit, who shall promptly make a written determination of the Operating Expenses for the period in question and shall provide such determination to Landlord and Tenant. The neutral independent certified public accountant’s determination shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant for all purposes. If the neutral independent certified public accountant determines (or if Landlord does not timely object to the results of Tenant’s audit) that Landlord has overstated Tenant’s share of Operating Expenses by [***]% or more during any one accounting year, then Landlord shall pay (i) for the reasonable costs of the audit, not to exceed, however, [***], as well as (ii) the reasonable fees and costs owed to the neutral independent certified public accountant for its services. If the neutral independent certified public accountant determines that Landlord did not overstate Operating Expenses as asserted in Tenant’s audit by [***]% or more during any one accounting year, Tenant shall pay the reasonable fees and costs owed to the neutral independent certified public accountant for its services. Any refund due Tenant shall be payable in any event.

7. Utilities. The Premises are separately metered for electricity and Tenant shall pay directly to the utility provider charges for all water, gas, electricity, heat, light, power, telephone, sewer, sprinkler services, refuse and trash collection, and other utilities and services used on the Premises, all maintenance charges for utilities, and any storm sewer charges or other similar charges for utilities imposed by any governmental entity or utility provider, together with any taxes, penalties, surcharges or the like pertaining to Tenant’s use of the Premises. No interruption or failure of utilities shall result in the termination of this Lease or the abatement of rent. Tenant agrees to limit use of water and sewer for normal restroom use.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that such interruption or cessation of utilities results from Landlord’s negligent or willful act or omission continues beyond three (3) consecutive business days from the date of such interruption or cessation, then, provided Tenant has delivered Landlord with prompt notice of such interruption, the rent under this Lease will abate, commencing on the third (3rd) consecutive business day the Premises remain untenantable, and continuing until the date on which the utilities are restored and the Premises are again tenantable. No abatement of rentals as hereinabove described will apply in the event such interruption of utilities is the result of Tenant’s alterations to the Premises, or any negligent act or omission of Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors, or any cause other than the negligent or willful act or omission of Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors.

8. Taxes. Landlord shall pay all taxes, assessments and governmental charges (collectively referred to as “Taxes”) that accrue against the Project during the Lease Term, which shall be included as part of the Operating Expenses charged to Tenant. Landlord may contest by appropriate legal proceedings the amount, validity, or application of any Taxes or liens thereof. All capital levies or other taxes assessed or imposed on Landlord upon the rents payable to Landlord under this Lease and any franchise tax, any excise, use, margin, transaction, sales or privilege tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such rents from the Premises and/or the Project or any portion thereof shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord monthly in estimated installments or upon demand, at the option of Landlord, as additional rent; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant be liable for any net income taxes


imposed on Landlord unless such net income taxes are in substitution for any Taxes payable hereunder. If any such tax or excise is levied or assessed directly against Tenant or results from any Tenant-Made Alterations (defined below), then Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay the same at such times and in such manner as the taxing authority shall require. Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against any personal property or fixtures placed in the Premises, whether levied or assessed against Landlord or Tenant.

9. Insurance. Landlord shall maintain all risk or special form property insurance covering the full replacement cost of the Building (including the Initial Improvements) and commercial general liability insurance on the Project in forms and amounts customary for properties substantially similar to the Project, subject to customary deductibles. Landlord may, but is not obligated to, maintain such other insurance and additional coverages as it may deem necessary, including but not limited to, rent loss insurance. All such insurance shall be included as part of the Operating Expenses charged to Tenant. The Project or Building may be included in a blanket policy (in which case the cost of such insurance allocable to the Project or Building will be determined by Landlord based upon the total insurance cost calculations). Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for any increased premiums or additional insurance which Landlord reasonably deems necessary as a result of Tenant’s specific use of the Premises.

Tenant, at its expense, shall maintain during the Lease Term the following insurance, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense: (1) commercial general liability insurance applicable to the Premises and its appurtenances providing, on an occurrence basis, a minimum combined single limit of $[***]; and in the event property of Tenant’s invitees or customers are kept in, or about the, Premises, Tenant shall maintain warehouser’s legal liability or bailee customers insurance for the full value of the property of such invitees or customers as determined by the warehouse contract between Tenant and its customer; (2) all risk or special form property insurance covering the full replacement cost of all property and improvements installed or placed in the Premises by Tenant; (3) workers’ compensation insurance as required by the state in which the Premises is located and in amounts as may be required by applicable statute and shall include a waiver of subrogation in favor of Landlord; (4) employers liability insurance of at least $[***], (5) business automobile liability insurance having a combined single limit of not less than $[***] per occurrence insuring Tenant against liability arising out of the ownership maintenance or use of any owned, hired or nonowned automobiles, and (6) business interruption insurance with a limit of liability representing loss of at least approximately 6 months of income. Any company writing any of Tenant’s insurance shall have an A.M. Best rating of not less than A-VIII and provide primary coverage to Landlord (any policy issued to Landlord providing duplicate or similar coverage shall be deemed excess over Tenant’s policies). All commercial general liability and, if applicable, warehouser’s legal liability or bailee customers insurance policies shall name Tenant as a named insured and Landlord, its property manager, and other designees of Landlord as the interest of such designees shall appear, as additional insureds. The limits and types of insurance maintained by Tenant shall not limit Tenant’s liability under this Lease. Tenant shall provide Landlord with certificates of such insurance as required under this Lease prior to the earlier to occur of the Commencement Date or the date Tenant is provided with possession of the Premises, and thereafter upon renewals at least 15 days prior to the expiration of the insurance coverage. Acceptance by Landlord of delivery of any certificates of insurance does not constitute approval or agreement by Landlord that the insurance requirements of this section have been met, and failure of Landlord to identify a deficiency from evidence provided will not be


construed as a waiver of Tenant’s obligation to maintain such insurance. In the event any of the insurance policies required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease shall be cancelled prior to the expiration date of such policy, or if Tenant receives notice of any cancellation of such insurance policies from the insurer prior to the expiration date of such policy, Tenant shall: (a) immediately deliver notice to Landlord that such insurance has been, or is to be, cancelled, (b) shall promptly replace such insurance policy in order to assure no lapse of coverage shall occur, and (c) shall deliver to Landlord a certificate of insurance for such policy. The insurance required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder are only Landlord’s minimum insurance requirements and Tenant agrees and understands that such insurance requirements may not be sufficient to fully meet Tenant’s insurance needs.

The all risk or special form property insurance obtained by Landlord and Tenant shall include a waiver of subrogation by the insurers and all rights based upon an assignment from its insured, against Landlord or Tenant, their officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees and contractors, in connection with any loss or damage thereby insured against. Neither party nor its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees or contractors shall be liable to the other for loss or damage caused by any risk coverable by all risk or special form property insurance, and each party waives any claims against the other party, and its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees and contractors for such loss or damage. The failure of a party to insure its property shall not void this waiver. Tenant and its agents, employees and contractors shall not be liable for, and Landlord hereby waives all claims against such parties for losses resulting from an interruption of Landlord’s business, or any person claiming through Landlord, resulting from any accident or occurrence in or upon the Premises or the Project from any cause whatsoever, including without limitation, damage caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by the negligence of Tenant or its agents, employees or contractors. Landlord and its agents, employees and contractors shall not be liable for, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against such parties for losses resulting from an interruption of Tenant’s business, or any person claiming through Tenant, resulting from any accident or occurrence in or upon the Premises or the Project from any cause whatsoever, including without limitation, damage caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by the negligence of Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors.

10. Landlord’s Repairs. Landlord shall repair (and make replacements as necessary), at its expense and without pass through as an Operating Expense, the structural soundness of the roof (which does not include the roof membrane, which will be maintained by Landlord with the costs thereof passed through as Operating Expenses), the structural soundness of the foundation, and the structural soundness of the exterior walls of the Building in good repair, reasonable wear and tear and uninsured losses and damages caused by Tenant, its agents and contractors excluded. The term “walls” as used in this Paragraph 10 shall not include windows, glass or plate glass, doors or overhead doors, special store fronts, dock bumpers, dock plates or levelers, or office entries. Landlord shall also make capital repairs and replacements as necessary to the parking areas of the Building and the common areas of the Project including, but not limited to driveways, alleys, landscape and grounds surrounding the Building, subject to reimbursement of Operating Expenses to the extent permitted under Paragraph 6 of this Lease. Tenant shall promptly give Landlord written notice of any repair required by Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 10, after which Landlord shall have a reasonable opportunity to repair.


11. Tenant’s Repairs. Subject to Landlord’s obligation in Paragraph 10 and subject to Paragraphs 9 and 15, Tenant, at its expense, shall repair, replace and maintain in good condition all portions of the Premises and all areas, improvements and systems exclusively serving the Premises including, without limitation, dock and loading areas, truck doors, plumbing, water and sewer lines up to points of common connection, fire sprinklers and fire protection systems, entries, doors, ceilings, windows, interior walls, and the interior side of demising walls, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Capital expenditures and repairs to the foregoing whose benefit may extend beyond the Lease Term shall be the responsibility of Landlord, subject to reimbursement by Tenant with monthly payments in accordance with the Formula (defined below) in the same manner as Operating Expenses. The “Formula” shall mean that number, the numerator of which shall be one (1) and the denominator of which shall be the amortization period (in months) equal to the useful life of such repair or replacement multiplied by the cost of such capital expenditure or repair. Landlord shall pay for such capital expenditures and repairs and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord its amortized share of same (determined as hereinabove set forth) on monthly basis in the same manner as the payment by Tenant to Landlord of the Operating Expenses. In the event Tenant extends the Lease Term either by way of an option or negotiated extension, such reimbursement by Tenant shall continue as provided above until such amortization period has expired or the Lease has terminated under such extension, whichever is first to occur. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems and other mechanical and building systems exclusively serving the Premises shall be maintained at Tenant’s expense pursuant to maintenance service contracts entered into by Tenant or, at Landlord’s election, by Landlord, in which case the costs of such contracts entered into by Landlord shall be included as an Operating Expense. The scope of services and contractors under such maintenance contracts shall be reasonably approved by Landlord. At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall enter into a joint maintenance agreement with any railroad that services the Premises. If Tenant fails to perform any repair or replacement for which it is responsible, Landlord may perform such work and be reimbursed by Tenant within 10 days after demand therefor. Subject to Paragraphs 9 and 15, Tenant shall bear the full cost of any repair or replacement to any part of the Building or Project that results from damage caused by Tenant, its agents, contractors, or invitees and any repair that benefits only the Premises.

12. Tenant-Made Alterations and Trade Fixtures. Any alterations, additions, or improvements made by or on behalf of Tenant to the Premises (“Tenant-Made Alterations”), which are interior, non-structural Tenant-Made Alterations, the cost of which exceeds $[***] in each instance, shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned provided that such alteration does not materially affect the structure or the roof of the Building, modify the exterior of the Building, or modify the utility or mechanical systems of the Project. Tenant shall have the right to perform interior, non-structural Tenant-Made Alterations, the cost of which does not exceed $[***] in each instance, without obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, by providing a written notice of such Tenant-Made Alterations to Landlord containing sufficient and complete information regarding such Tenant-Made Alterations, provided that such alteration does not materially affect the structure or the roof of the Building, modify the exterior of the Building, or modify the utility or mechanical systems of the Building. Tenant shall not perform structural Tenant-Made Alterations without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, and Tenant shall have no right to conduct under slab work or breakage of the slab. Tenant shall cause, at its expense, all Tenant-Made Alterations to comply with insurance requirements and with Legal Requirements and shall construct at its expense any alteration or modification required by Legal


Requirements as a result of any Tenant-Made Alterations. All Tenant-Made Alterations shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner by contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord and only good grades of materials shall be used. All plans and specifications for any Tenant-Made Alterations shall be submitted to Landlord for its approval. Landlord may monitor construction of the Tenant-Made Alterations. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs in reviewing plans and specifications and in monitoring construction. Landlord’s right to review plans and specifications and to monitor construction shall be solely for its own benefit, and Landlord shall have no duty to see that such plans and specifications or construction comply with applicable laws, codes, rules and regulations. Tenant shall provide Landlord with the identities and mailing addresses of all persons performing work or supplying materials, prior to beginning such construction, and Landlord may post on and about the Premises notices of non-responsibility pursuant to applicable law. For any Tenant-Made Alterations expected to cost more than $[***], Tenant shall, upon Landlord’s request, furnish security or make other arrangements satisfactory to Landlord to assure payment for the completion of all work free and clear of liens. Tenant shall provide certificates of insurance for worker’s compensation and other coverage in amounts and from an insurance company reasonably satisfactory to Landlord protecting Landlord against liability for personal injury or property damage during construction. Upon completion of any Tenant-Made Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord sworn statements setting forth the names of all contractors and subcontractors who did work on the Tenant-Made Alterations and final lien waivers from all such contractors and subcontractors. Upon surrender of the Premises, all Tenant-Made Alterations and any leasehold improvements constructed by Landlord or Tenant shall remain on the Premises as Landlord’s property, except to the extent Landlord requires removal at Tenant’s expense of any such items or Landlord and Tenant have otherwise agreed in writing in connection with Landlord’s consent to any Tenant-Made Alterations. Upon Tenant’s written request, Landlord shall provide Tenant, at the time of Tenant’s request for approval of Tenant-Made Alterations, a list of which Tenant-Made Alterations Landlord will require Tenant to remove upon surrender of the Premises. Tenant shall repair any damage caused by the removal of such Tenant-Made Alterations upon surrender of the Premises.

Tenant, at its own cost and expense and without Landlord’s prior approval, may erect such shelves, racking, bins, machinery and trade fixtures (collectively “Trade Fixtures”) in the ordinary course of its business provided that such items do not alter the basic character of the Premises, do not overload or damage the Premises, and may be removed without injury to the Premises, and the construction, erection, and installation thereof complies with all Legal Requirements and with Landlord’s requirements set forth above. Tenant shall remove its Trade Fixtures and shall repair any damage caused by such removal upon surrender of the Premises.

13. Signs. Tenant shall not make any changes to the exterior of the Premises, install any exterior lights, decorations, balloons, flags, pennants, banners, or painting, or erect or install any signs, windows or door lettering, placards, decorations, or advertising media of any type which can be viewed from the exterior of the Premises, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. Upon surrender or vacation of the Premises, Tenant shall have removed all signs and repair, paint, and/or replace the building facia surface to which its signs are attached. Tenant shall obtain all applicable governmental permits and approvals for sign and exterior treatments. All signs, decorations, advertising media, blinds, draperies and other window treatment or bars or other security installations visible from outside the Premises shall be subject to Landlord’s approval and conform in all respects to Landlord’s requirements.


14. Parking. Tenant shall be entitled to use Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Building parking spaces, which as of the date of this Lease is 100 percent and approximately 268 parking spaces designated for the Building as depicted in the Site Plan. Landlord shall not be responsible for enforcing Tenant’s parking rights against any third parties.

15. Restoration. If at any time during the Lease Term the Premises are damaged by a fire or other casualty, Landlord shall notify Tenant within 60 days after such damage as to the amount of time Landlord reasonably estimates it will take to restore the Premises. If the restoration time is estimated to exceed 6 months, either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease upon notice to the other party given no later than 30 days after Landlord’s notice. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease or if Landlord estimates that restoration will take 6 months or less, then, subject to receipt of sufficient insurance proceeds, Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises excluding the improvements installed by Tenant or by Landlord and paid by Tenant, subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds or from Force Majeure events. Tenant at Tenant’s expense shall promptly perform, subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds, or from Force Majeure events (as defined in Paragraph 33), all repairs or restoration not required to be done by Landlord and shall promptly re-enter the Premises and commence doing business in accordance with this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may terminate this Lease if the Premises are damaged during the last year of the Lease Term and Landlord reasonably estimates that it will take more than one month to repair such damage. Base Rent and Operating Expenses shall be abated for the period of repair and restoration commencing on the date of such casualty event in the proportion which the area of the Premises, if any, which is not usable by Tenant bears to the total area of the Premises. Such abatement shall be the sole remedy of Tenant, and except as provided herein, Tenant waives any right to terminate the Lease by reason of damage or casualty loss.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, to the extent the damage to the Project is attributable to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord with respect to any damage to the Project an amount of the commercially reasonable deductible under Landlord’s insurance policy, not to exceed $[***], within 30 days after presentment of Landlord’s invoice.

16. Condemnation. If any part of the Premises or the Project should be taken for any public or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance, or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking” or “Taken”), and the Taking would materially interfere with or impair Landlord’s ownership or operation of the Project, then upon written notice by Landlord this Lease shall terminate and Base Rent and Operating Expenses shall be apportioned as of said date. In the event (i) more than [***] of the Premises is involved in a Taking as described in this Paragraph 16, or (ii) more than [***] of the parking spaces for the Building are Taken and not replaced by Landlord with other parking spaces in the Project proximate to the Building, and in either case the Taking, in Tenant’s reasonable judgment, would materially interfere with or impair Tenant’s operations at the Premises, then in any such event Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to Landlord within thirty (30) days of such Taking. If part of the Premises shall be Taken, and this Lease is not terminated as provided above, the Base Rent and Operating Expenses


payable hereunder during the unexpired Lease Term shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable under the circumstances. In the event of any such Taking, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire price or award from any such Taking without any payment to Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant’s interest, if any, in such award. Tenant shall have the right, to the extent that same shall not diminish Landlord’s award, to make a separate claim against the condemning authority (but not Landlord) for such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant for moving expenses and damage to Tenant’s Trade Fixtures, goodwill and other personal property, if a separate award for such items is made to Tenant.

17. Assignment and Subletting. Without Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed, Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublease the Premises or any part thereof or mortgage, pledge, or hypothecate its leasehold interest or grant any concession or license within the Premises and any attempt to do any of the foregoing shall be void and of no effect. It shall be reasonable for the Landlord to withhold, delay or condition its consent, where required, to any assignment or sublease in any of the following instances: (i) the assignee does not have a net worth calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles at least equal to the greater of the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such assignment or the net worth of the Tenant at the time it executed the Lease; (ii) occupancy of the Premises by the assignee or sublessee would, in Landlord’s opinion, violate any agreement binding upon Landlord or the Project with regard to the identity of tenants, usage in the Project, or similar matters; (iii) the identity or business reputation of the assignee or sublessee will, in the good faith judgment of Landlord, tend to damage the goodwill or reputation of the Project; (iv) the assignment or sublease is to another tenant in the Project and is at rates which are below those charged by Landlord for comparable space in the Project and Landlord has such comparable space available for lease; or (v) in the case of a sublease, the subtenant has not acknowledged that the sublease is subject and subordinate to the Lease. The foregoing criteria shall not exclude any other reasonable basis for Landlord to refuse its consent to such assignment or sublease. Any approved assignment or sublease shall be expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Tenant shall provide to Landlord all information concerning the assignee or sublessee as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord may revoke its consent immediately and without notice if, as of the effective date of the assignment or sublease, there has occurred and is continuing any default under the Lease. For purposes of this paragraph, a transfer of the ownership interests controlling Tenant shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease unless such ownership interests are publicly traded. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant may assign or sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, to any entity controlling Tenant, controlled by Tenant or under common control with Tenant (a “Tenant Affiliate”), and provided that a proposed assignee has a net worth equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant at the date of this Lease or on the date of such assignment, whichever is greater, to an entity which is acquired, in whole or in part by Tenant, a successor to Tenant by merger or consolidation, or a successor to Tenant by purchase of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets without the prior written consent of Landlord (each such transfer, a “Permitted Transfer” and each such transferee a “Permitted Transferee”). Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all of Landlord’s reasonable expenses in connection with any assignment or sublease requiring approval of Landlord, not to exceed $[***]. This Lease shall be binding upon Tenant and its successors and permitted assigns. Upon Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s written notice of a desire to assign the Lease or sublet more than [***] of the rentable square footage of the Premises for the remainder of the Lease Term (other than to a Tenant Affiliate or a Permitted Transferee), Landlord may, by giving written notice to Tenant within 30 days after receipt of


Tenant’s notice, terminate this Lease with respect to the space described in Tenant’s notice, as of the date specified in Tenant’s notice for the commencement of the proposed assignment or sublease. Tenant may withdraw its notice to sublease or assign by notifying Landlord within 10 days after Landlord has given Tenant notice of such termination, in which case the Lease shall not terminate but shall continue.

Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Tenant and any guarantor or surety of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall at all times remain fully responsible and liable for the payment of the rent and for compliance with all of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease (regardless of whether Landlord’s approval has been obtained for any such assignments or sublettings). In the event that the rent due and payable by a sublessee or assignee (or a combination of the rental payable under such sublease or assignment plus any bonus or other consideration therefor or incident thereto) exceeds the rental payable under this Lease, then Tenant shall be bound and obligated to pay Landlord as additional rent hereunder [***] of such excess rental and other excess consideration within 10 days following receipt thereof by Tenant, after deducting therefrom Tenant’s reasonable transfer costs and expenses; provided in the event of a sublease which is less than [***]% of the Premises such excess rental and other consideration shall be applied on a square foot basis.

If this Lease be assigned or if the Premises be subleased (whether in whole or in part) or in the event of the mortgage, pledge, or hypothecation of Tenant’s leasehold interest or grant of any concession or license within the Premises or if the Premises be occupied in whole or in part by anyone other than Tenant, then upon a default by Tenant hereunder Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, sublessee, mortgagee, pledgee, party to whom the leasehold interest was hypothecated, concessionee or licensee or other occupant and, except to the extent set forth in the preceding paragraph, apply the amount collected to the next rent payable hereunder; and all such rentals collected by Tenant shall be held in trust for Landlord and immediately forwarded to Landlord. No such transaction or collection of rent or application thereof by Landlord, however, shall be deemed a waiver of these provisions or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of its covenants, duties, or obligations hereunder.

18. Indemnification. Except for the negligence of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, and to the extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, and Landlord’s agents, employees and contractors, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) resulting from claims by third parties for injuries to any person and damage to or theft or misappropriation or loss of property occurring in or about the Project and arising from the use and occupancy of the Premises or from any activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises or due to any other act or omission of Tenant, its subtenants, assignees, invitees, employees, contractors and agents. The furnishing of insurance required hereunder shall not be deemed to limit Tenant’s obligations under this Paragraph 18.

Except for the negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors, and to the extent permitted by law, Landlord agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant, and Tenant’s agents, employees and contractors, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) resulting from claims by third parties for injuries to any person and damage to or theft or misappropriation or loss of property occurring in or about the Project or arising from any activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Landlord in or about the Project or due to any other act or omission of Landlord, its assignees, invitees, employees, contractors and agents. The furnishing of insurance required hereunder shall not be deemed to limit Landlord’s obligations under this Paragraph 18.


If a claim under the foregoing indemnity is made against the indemnitee which the indemnitee believes to be covered by an indemnitor’s indemnification obligations hereunder, the indemnitee shall promptly notify the indemnitor of the claim and, in such notice shall offer to the indemnitor the opportunity to assume the defense of the claim within 10 business days after receipt of the notice (with counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnitee). If the indemnitor timely elects to assume the defense of the claim, the indemnitor shall have the right to settle the claim on any terms it considers reasonable and without the indemnitee’s prior written consent, as long as the settlement shall not require the indemnitee to render any performance or pay any consideration, and the indemnitee shall not have the right to settle any such claim. If the indemnitor fails timely to elect to assume the defense of the claim or fails to defend the claim with diligence, then the indemnitee shall have the right to take over the defense of the claim and to settle the claim on any terms the indemnitee considers reasonable. Any such settlement shall be valid as against the indemnitor. If the indemnitor assumes the defense of a claim, the indemnitee may employ its own counsel but such employment shall be at the sole expense of the indemnitee. If any such claim arises out of the negligence of both Landlord and Tenant, responsibility for such claim shall be allocated between Landlord and Tenant based on their respective degrees of negligence.

This indemnity does not cover claims arising from the presence or release of Hazardous Materials.

19. Inspection and Access. Landlord and its agents, representatives, and contractors may enter the Premises at any reasonable time after 24 hours prior notice (except in the event of an emergency) to inspect the Premises and to make such repairs as may be required or permitted pursuant to this Lease and for any other business purpose. Landlord and Landlord’s representatives may enter the Premises during business hours after 24 hours prior notice for the purpose of showing the Premises to prospective purchasers and, during the last year of the Lease Term, to prospective tenants. Upon entering the Premises, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts not to interfere with Tenant’s business operations. Landlord may erect a suitable sign on the Premises stating the Premises are available to let or that the Project is available for sale. Landlord may grant easements, make public dedications, designate and modify common areas and create restrictions on or about the Premises or modify or obtain variances for the zoning of the Project (including for freight forwarding), provided that no such easement, dedication, designation, modification or restriction materially interferes with Tenant’s use, access to or occupancy of the Premises. At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute such instruments as may be necessary for such easements, dedications or restrictions.

20. Quiet Enjoyment. If Tenant shall perform all of the covenants and agreements herein required to be performed by Tenant, Tenant shall, subject to the terms of this Lease, at all times during the Lease Term, have peaceful and quiet enjoyment of the Premises against any person claiming by, through or under Landlord.


21. Surrender. Upon termination of the Lease Term or earlier termination of Tenant’s right of possession, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as received ordinary wear and tear, casualty loss and condemnation covered by Paragraphs 15 and 16 and Landlord’s repair obligations excepted and otherwise in accordance with the Move Out Conditions Addendum attached hereto. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall remove any odor which may exist in the Premises resulting from Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises upon the termination of the Lease Term or earlier termination of Tenant’s right of possession. Any Trade Fixtures, Tenant-Made Alterations and property not so removed by Tenant as permitted or required herein shall be deemed abandoned and may be stored, removed, and disposed of by Landlord at Tenant’s expense, and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damages resulting from Landlord’s retention and disposition of such property. All obligations of Tenant hereunder not fully performed as of the termination of the Lease Term shall survive the termination of the Lease Term, including without limitation, indemnity obligations, payment obligations with respect to Operating Expenses and obligations concerning the condition and repair of the Premises.

22. Holding Over. If Tenant retains possession of the Premises after the termination of the Lease Term, unless otherwise agreed in writing, such possession shall be subject to immediate termination by Landlord at any time, and all of the other terms and provisions of this Lease (excluding any expansion or renewal option or other similar right or option) shall be applicable during such holdover period, except that Tenant shall pay Landlord from time to time, upon demand, as Base Rent for the holdover period, an amount equal to [***] of the Base Rent in effect on the termination date, computed on a monthly basis for each month or part thereof during such holding over; provided so long as Tenant has given Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of its intent to holdover, the first thirty (30) days of holdover shall be at the Base Rent in effect on the termination date. All other payments shall continue under the terms of this Lease. In addition, Tenant shall be liable for all damages incurred by Landlord as a result of such holding over. No holding over by Tenant, whether with or without consent of Landlord, shall operate to extend this Lease except as otherwise expressly provided, and this Paragraph 22 shall not be construed as consent for Tenant to retain possession of the Premises.

23. Events of Default. Each of the following events shall be an event of default (“Event of Default”) by Tenant under this Lease:

(i) Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Base Rent or any other payment required herein when due, and such failure shall continue for a period of 5 days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant that such payment was due; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be obligated to provide written notice of such failure more than 2 times in any consecutive 12-month period, and the failure of Tenant to pay any third or subsequent installment of Base Rent or any other payment required herein when due in any consecutive 12-month period shall constitute an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease without the requirement of notice or opportunity to cure; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under applicable law.


(ii) Tenant or any guarantor or surety of Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall (A) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (B) commence any case, proceeding or other action seeking to have an order for relief entered on its behalf as a debtor or to adjudicate it as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or of any substantial part of its property (collectively a “proceeding for relief”); (C) become the subject of any proceeding for relief which is not dismissed within 60 days of its filing or entry; or (D) die or suffer a legal disability (if Tenant, guarantor, or surety is an individual) or be dissolved or otherwise fail to maintain its legal existence (if Tenant, guarantor or surety is a corporation, partnership or other entity).

(iii) Any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be cancelled or terminated (and not replaced in accordance with Paragraph 9) or shall expire or shall be reduced or materially changed, except, in each case, as permitted in this Lease.

(iv) Tenant shall not occupy or shall vacate the Premises whether or not Tenant is in monetary or other default under this Lease. Tenant’s vacating of the Premises shall not constitute an Event of Default if, prior to vacating the Premises, Tenant has made arrangements reasonably acceptable to Landlord to (a) ensure that Tenant’s insurance for the Premises will not be voided or cancelled with respect to the Premises as a result of such vacancy, (b) ensure that the Premises are secured and not subject to vandalism, and (c) ensure that the Premises will be properly maintained after such vacation, including, but not limited to, keeping the heating, ventilation and cooling systems maintenance contracts required by this Lease in full force and effect and maintaining the utility services. Tenant shall inspect the Premises at least once each month and report monthly in writing to Landlord on the condition of the Premises.

(v) Tenant shall attempt or there shall occur any assignment, subleasing or other transfer of Tenant’s interest in or with respect to this Lease except as otherwise permitted in this Lease.

(vi) Tenant shall fail to discharge any lien placed upon the Premises in violation of this Lease within 20 days after Tenant’s becomes aware of such lien.

(vii) Tenant shall fail to comply with any provision of this Lease other than those specifically referred to in this Paragraph 23, and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such default shall continue for more than 30 days after Landlord shall have given Tenant written notice of such default (said notice being in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required as a prerequisite to a forcible entry and detainer or similar action for possession of the Premises), provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall commence such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and without interruption prosecute such cure to completion.

Tenant agrees that any notice given by Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph of the Lease shall satisfy the requirements for notice under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, and Landlord shall not be required to give any additional notice in order to be entitled to commence an unlawful detainer proceeding.


24. Landlord’s Remedies. Upon each occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, Landlord may at any time thereafter at its election: terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession, (but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided) and/or pursue any other remedies at law or in equity. Upon the termination of this Lease or termination of Tenant’s right of possession, it shall be lawful for Landlord, without formal demand or notice of any kind, to re-enter the Premises by summary dispossession proceedings or any other action or proceeding authorized by law and to remove Tenant and all persons and property therefrom. If Landlord re-enters the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to keep in place and use, or remove and store, all of the furniture, fixtures and equipment at the Premises.

Except as otherwise provided in the next paragraph, if Tenant breaches this Lease and abandoned the Premises prior to the end of the term hereof, or if Tenant’s right to possession is terminated by Landlord because of an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease, this Lease shall terminate. Upon such termination, Landlord may recover from Tenant the following, as provided in Section 1951.2 of the Civil Code of California: (i) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid Base Rent and other charges under this Lease that had been earned at the time of termination; (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the reasonable value of the unpaid Base Rent and other charges under this Lease which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonable avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of award by which the reasonable value of the unpaid Base Rent and other charges under this Lease for the balance of the term of this Lease after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or that in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. As used herein, the following terms are defined: (a) The “worth at the time of award” of the amounts referred to in Sections (i) and (ii) is computed by allowing interest at the lesser of 18 percent per annum or the maximum lawful rate. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to in Section (iii) 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; (b) The “time of award” as used in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) above is the date on which judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction; (c) The “reasonable value” of the amount referred to in clause (ii) above is computed by determining the mathematical product of (1) the “reasonable annual rental value” (as defined herein) and (2) the number of years, including fractional parts thereof, between the date of termination and the time of award. The “reasonable value” of the amount referred to in clause (iii) is computed by determining the mathematical product of (1) the annual Base Rent and other charges under this Lease and (2) the number of years including fractional parts thereof remaining in the balance of the term of this Lease after the time of award. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the term “detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease” includes, without limitation, the value of any abated or free rent given to Tenant.


Even though Tenant has breached this Lease and abandoned the Premises, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession, and Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover rent as it becomes due. This remedy is intended to be the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4, and the following provision from such Civil Code Section is hereby repeated: “The Lessor has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has right to sublet or assign subject only to reasonable limitations).” Any such payments due Landlord shall be made upon demand therefor from time to time and Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums falling due from time to time. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect in writing to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.

Exercise by Landlord of any one or more remedies hereunder granted or otherwise available shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of surrender of the Premises and/or a termination of this Lease by Landlord, whether by agreement or by operation of law, it being understood that such surrender and/or termination can be effected only by the written agreement of Landlord and Tenant. Any law, usage, or custom to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall have the right at all times to enforce the provisions of this Lease in strict accordance with the terms hereof; and the failure of Landlord at any time to enforce its rights under this Lease strictly in accordance with same shall not be construed as having created a custom in any way or manner contrary to the specific terms, provisions, and covenants of this Lease or as having modified the same. Tenant and Landlord further agree that forbearance or waiver by Landlord to enforce its rights pursuant to this Lease or at law or in equity, shall not be a waiver of Landlord’s right to enforce one or more of its rights in connection with any subsequent default. A receipt by Landlord of rent or other payment with knowledge of the breach of any covenant hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by Landlord. To the greatest extent permitted by law, Tenant waives the service of notice of Landlord’s intention to re-enter as provided for in any statute, or to institute legal proceedings to that end, and also waives all right of redemption in case Tenant shall be dispossessed by a judgment or by warrant of any court or judge. The terms “enter,” “re-enter,” “entry” or “re-entry,” as used in this Lease, are not restricted to their technical legal meanings. Any reletting of the Premises shall be on such terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine (including without limitation a term different than the remaining Lease Term, rental concessions, alterations and repair of the Premises, lease of less than the entire Premises to any tenant and leasing any or all other portions of the Project before reletting the Premises). Landlord shall not be liable, nor shall Tenant’s obligations hereunder be diminished because of, Landlord’s failure to relet the Premises or collect rent due in respect of such reletting.

25. Tenant’s Remedies/Limitation of Liability. Landlord shall not be in default hereunder unless Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder within 30 days after written notice from Tenant specifying such failure (unless such performance will, due to the nature of the obligation, require a period of time in excess of 30 days, then after such period of time as is reasonably necessary). In the event of any uncured default on the part of Landlord, then Tenant, at Tenant’s option, may thereafter pursue one of the following remedies: (a) in the event of an emergency perform Landlord’s obligation and invoice Landlord in the manner specifically set forth in the second subparagraph below of this Paragraph 25; or (b) institute an action for damages and/or specific performance against Landlord in the San Francisco Superior Court. All obligations of Landlord hereunder shall be construed as covenants, not conditions; and, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant may not terminate this Lease for breach of


Landlord’s obligations hereunder. All obligations of Landlord under this Lease will be binding upon Landlord only during the period of its ownership of the Premises and not thereafter. The term “Landlord” in this Lease shall mean only the owner, for the time being of the Premises, and in the event of the transfer by such owner of its interest in the Premises, such owner shall thereupon be released and discharged from all obligations of Landlord thereafter accruing, but such obligations shall be binding during the Lease Term upon each new owner for the duration of such owner’s ownership. Any liability of Landlord under this Lease shall be limited solely to its interest in the Project, and in no event shall any personal liability be asserted against Landlord in connection with this Lease nor shall any recourse be had to any other property or assets of Landlord.

In the event of a Landlord default that caused an emergency (being defined as an imminent threat of personal injury to Tenant’s employees or material damage to Tenant’s equipment or other property at the Premises or a material impact to Tenant’s business operations at the Premises), Tenant shall have the right to make such temporary, emergency repairs to the roof, foundation, floors and exterior walls of the building of which the Premises are a part, or the roof membrane, skylights, roof vents, drains and downspouts of the Project, and the exterior and under slab utility systems for the Project, as may be reasonably necessary to prevent such material damage to the equipment or property of Tenant situated in the Premises, or such personal injury to Tenant’s employees, provided Tenant has no reasonable alternative and has notified or attempted in good faith to notify Landlord’s representative of such emergency by telephone (with subsequent written notice as soon as practicable). The provisions of this paragraph do not constitute an authorization by Landlord for Tenant to enter the premises of any other tenant of the Project, and Tenant has not been designated as Landlord’s agent for the purposes of any such entry. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant in making such emergency repairs to the roof, foundation or exterior walls, as applicable, up to (but not to exceed) $[***] with respect to each such occurrence, within thirty (30) days after submission by Tenant to Landlord of an invoice therefore, accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation for the costs so incurred. In the event Landlord fails or refuses to reimburse Tenant for such costs within such thirty (30) day period and Tenant brings an action for recovery of such amounts from Landlord as provided for in this Lease, then Tenant shall be entitled to recover, in addition to the amount of such costs, interest on such amounts from the date incurred by Tenant until recovered from Landlord, at the rate provided in Paragraph 37(j) of this Lease, and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs of court incurred by Tenant in pursuing such action.

26. Omitted.

27. Subordination. This Lease and Tenant’s interest and rights hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any first mortgage, now existing or hereafter created on or against the Project or the Premises, and all amendments, restatements, renewals, modifications, consolidations, refinancing, assignments and extensions thereof, without the necessity of any further instrument or act on the part of Tenant. Tenant agrees, at the election of the holder of any such mortgage, to attorn to any such holder. Tenant agrees upon demand to execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments, confirming such subordination and such instruments of attornment as shall be requested by any such holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such holder may at any time subordinate its mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant’s consent, by notice in writing to Tenant, and thereupon this Lease shall be deemed prior


to such mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution, delivery or recording and in that event such holder shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as though this Lease had been executed prior to the execution, delivery and recording of such mortgage and had been assigned to such holder. The term “mortgage” whenever used in this Lease shall be deemed to include deeds of trust, security assignments and any other encumbrances, and any reference to the “holder” of a mortgage shall be deemed to include the beneficiary under a deed of trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such subordination to a future mortgagee shall be effective only after such mortgagee has executed and delivered a non-disturbance agreement on mortgagee’s commercially standard form. If there is a mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Building, then promptly following execution of this Lease, Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from its current mortgagee (if any) a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (an “SNDA”) in favor of Tenant on such mortgagee’s standard form; provided, however, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord’s failure to obtain the SNDA shall not constitute a default by Landlord under this Lease. Landlord shall be responsible for any fees and charges (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) payable to such mortgagee in connection with providing a commercially reasonable SNDA, and Tenant shall be responsible for any fees and charges (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) payable to such mortgagee in connection with Tenant’s election to negotiate such SNDA.

28. Mechanic’s Liens. Tenant has no express or implied authority to create or place any lien or encumbrance of any kind upon, or in any manner to bind the interest of Landlord or Tenant in, the Premises or to charge the rentals payable hereunder for any claim in favor of any person dealing with Tenant, including those who may furnish materials or perform labor for any construction or repairs. Tenant covenants and agrees that it will pay or cause to be paid all sums legally due and payable by it on account of any labor performed or materials furnished in connection with any work performed on the Premises and that it will save and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, cost or expense based on or arising out of asserted claims or liens against the leasehold estate or against the interest of Landlord in the Premises or under this Lease. Tenant shall give Landlord immediate written notice after Tenant becomes aware of the placing of any lien or encumbrance against the Premises as a result of Tenant’s work and cause such lien or encumbrance to be discharged within 20 days thereafter; provided, however, Tenant may contest such liens or encumbrances as long as such contest prevents foreclosure of the lien or encumbrance and Tenant causes such lien or encumbrance to be bonded or insured over in a manner satisfactory to Landlord within such 20 day period.

29. Estoppel Certificates. Tenant agrees, from time to time, within 10 business days after request of Landlord, to execute and deliver to Landlord, or Landlord’s designee, any estoppel certificate requested by Landlord, stating that this Lease is in full force and effect, the date to which rent has been paid, that Landlord, to Tenant’s knowledge, is not in default hereunder (or specifying in detail the nature of Landlord’s default), the termination date of this Lease and such other matters pertaining to this Lease as may be reasonably requested by Landlord. Tenant’s obligation to furnish each estoppel certificate in a timely fashion is a material inducement for Landlord’s execution of this Lease. No cure or grace period provided in this Lease shall apply to Tenant’s obligations to timely deliver an estoppel certificate.


30. Environmental Requirements. Except for Hazardous Materials contained in products used by Tenant in de minimis quantities for ordinary cleaning and office purposes, and except for propane used in Tenant’s forklifts in the normal course of its business, and except for Hazardous Materials contained in products stored and/or distributed during Tenant’s normal course of business in their original, sealed, and unopened containers, Tenant shall not permit or cause any party to bring any Hazardous Material upon the Premises or transport, store, use, generate, manufacture or release any Hazardous Material in or about the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall operate its business in the Premises in strict compliance with all Environmental Requirements and shall remediate in a manner satisfactory to Landlord any Hazardous Materials released on or from the Project by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, subtenants or invitees. Tenant shall complete and certify disclosure statements as requested by Landlord from time to time relating to Tenant’s transportation, storage, use, generation, manufacture or release of Hazardous Materials on the Premises. The term “Environmental Requirements” means all applicable present and future statutes, regulations, ordinances, rules, codes, judgments, orders or other similar enactments of any governmental authority or agency regulating or relating to health, safety, or environmental conditions on, under, or about the Premises or the environment, including without limitation, the following; the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; and all state and local counterparts thereto, and any regulations or policies promulgated or issued thereunder. The term “Hazardous Materials” means and includes any substance, material, waste, pollutant, or contaminant listed or defined as hazardous or toxic, under any Environmental Requirements, asbestos and petroleum, including crude oil or any fraction thereof, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas, or synthetic gas usable for fuel (or mixtures of natural gas and such synthetic gas). As defined in Environmental Requirements, Tenant is and shall be deemed to be the “operator” of Tenant’s “facility” and the “owner” of all Hazardous Materials brought on the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, and the wastes, by-products, or residues generated, resulting, or produced therefrom. No cure or grace period provided in this Lease shall apply to Tenant’s obligations to comply with the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 30.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 30, Tenant shall have no liability of any kind to Landlord as to Hazardous Materials located on the Premises or Project as of the date of this Lease or the release of Hazardous Materials caused or permitted by (i) Landlord, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees; or (ii) any other tenants in the Project or their agents, employees, contractors, subtenants, assignees or invitees. Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost, shall comply with all applicable Environmental Requirements applicable to Landlord with respect to any pre-existing such Hazardous Materials to the extent Landlord is so required under the Environmental Requirements.

Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord and VWR Scientific harmless from and against any and all losses (including, without limitation, diminution in value of the Premises or the Project and loss of rental income from the Project), claims, demands, actions, suits, damages (including, without limitation, punitive damages), expenses (including, without limitation, remediation, removal, repair, corrective action, or cleanup expenses), and costs (including, without limitation, actual attorneys’ fees, consultant fees or expert fees and including, without limitation, removal or management of any asbestos brought into the property or disturbed in breach of the requirements of this Paragraph 30, regardless of whether such removal or management is required by law) which are brought or recoverable against, or suffered or incurred by Landlord as a result of any release of Hazardous Materials for which Tenant is obligated to remediate as provided above or any other breach of the requirements under this Paragraph 30 by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, subtenants, assignees or invitees, regardless of whether Tenant had knowledge of such noncompliance. The obligations of Tenant under this Paragraph 30 shall survive any termination of this Lease.


Landlord shall have access to, and a right to perform inspections and tests of, the Premises to determine Tenant’s compliance with Environmental Requirements, its obligations under this Paragraph 30, or the environmental condition of the Premises and to comply with any Environmental Requirements applicable to Landlord under this Lease. Access shall be granted to Landlord upon Landlord’s prior notice to Tenant and at such times so as to minimize, so far as may be reasonable under the circumstances, any disturbance to Tenant’s operations. Such inspections and tests shall be conducted at Landlord’s expense, unless such inspections or tests reveal that Tenant has not complied with any Environmental Requirement, in which case Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of such inspection and tests. Landlord’s receipt of or satisfaction with any environmental assessment in no way waives any rights that Landlord holds against Tenant.

In the event any Hazardous Materials existing at the Premises prior to the date of this Lease materially impact Tenant’s business operations at the Premises, following Tenant’s notice of such material impact Landlord shall use good faith, commercially responsible efforts to cause the party responsible for such pre-existing Hazardous Materials to comply with all Environmental Requirements and shall enforce all indemnities from such responsible party for the benefit of Tenant and Landlord.

31. Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall, at all times during the Lease Term and any extension thereof, comply with all reasonable rules and regulations at any time or from time to time established by Landlord covering use of the Premises and the Project. The current Project rules and regulations are attached hereto as Exhibit B. In the event of any conflict between said rules and regulations and other provisions of this Lease, the other terms and provisions of this Lease shall control. Landlord shall not have any liability or obligation for the breach of any rules or regulations by other tenants in the Project.

32. Security Service. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, while Landlord may patrol the Project, Landlord is not providing any security services with respect to the Premises and that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for, and Tenant waives any claim against Landlord with respect to, any loss by theft or any other damage suffered or incurred by Tenant in connection with any unauthorized entry into the Premises or any other breach of security with respect to the Premises.

33. Force Majeure. Landlord shall not be held responsible for delays in the performance of its obligations hereunder when caused by strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, inability to obtain labor or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental restrictions, governmental regulations, governmental controls, delay in issuance of permits, enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (“Force Majeure”).


34. Entire Agreement. This Lease constitutes the complete agreement of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter hereof.

This Lease may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto.

35. Severability. If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, then and in that event, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby.

Upon receipt of written request from Landlord, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall deliver to Landlord data regarding the electricity consumed in the operation of the Premises (the “Energy Data”) for purposes of regulatory compliance, manual and automated benchmarking, energy management, building environmental performance labeling and other related purposes, including but not limited, to the Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star rating system and other energy benchmarking systems. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to utilize automated data transmittal services offered by utility companies to access the Energy Data. Landlord shall not publicly disclose Energy Data without Tenant’s prior written consent. Landlord may, however, disclose Energy Data that has been modified, combined or aggregated in a manner such that the resulting data is not exclusively attributable to Tenant.

Execution copies of this Lease may be delivered by facsimile or email, and the parties hereto agree to accept and be bound by facsimile signatures or scanned signatures transmitted via email hereto, which signatures shall be considered as original signatures with the transmitted Lease having the same binding effect as an original signature on an original Lease.

(s) CONTINGENCY: Please he advised that Landlord is presently under contract to acquire the Project, which includes the Premises.

This Lease is contingent upon Landlord’s or its affiliate’s successful close of escrow on the Project by April 1, 2016.

(t) ENVIRONMENTAL DISCLOSURE: Landlord has advised Tenant and Tenant acknowledges that both the property of which the leased premises is a part and the neighboring property are part of an ongoing environmental investigation that will require future access and remedial activities.

The California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) is overseeing the environmental remediation of the property and documentation related to the cleanup is available on the RWQCB’s Geotracker webpage at: http:/geotracker.waterboards.ca.gov. Planned remedial activities will include excavation of impacted soils beneath a small portion of the Building and installation of subslab monitoring points and groundwater monitoring wells within the Building and in exterior paved areas. The excavation is planned to be completed prior to occupancy, however, ongoing access will be required for monitoring activities. Tenant agrees to cooperate with future remedial activities and Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate access to the property for future remedial activities in an attempt to minimize inconvenience to Tenant’s operations as reasonably practical. Ultimately, the Building will have a deed restriction that mandates commercial / industrial use and engineering controls. Tenant will be required to comply with future restrictions.

TENANT AND LANDLORD WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT ARISING OUT OF THIS LEASE OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT, OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Lease as of the day and year first above written.

(a) Provided that as of the time of the giving of the Extension Notice and the Commencement Date of the Extension Term, (x) Tenant or a Tenant Affiliate or a Permitted Transferee actually leases and occupies all of the Premises initially demised under this Lease and any space added to the Premises, and (y) no Event of Default exists or would exist but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both; then Tenant shall have the right to extend the Lease Term for [***] commencing on the day following the expiration of the Lease Term (hereinafter referred to as the “Commencement Date of the Extension Term”). Tenant shall give Landlord notice (hereinafter called the “Extension Notice”) of its election to extend the term of the Lease Term at least [***], prior to the scheduled expiration date of the Lease Term.

(b) The Base Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord during the Extension Term shall be the Fair Market Rent, as defined and determined pursuant to Paragraphs (c), (d), and (e) below.

(c) The term “Fair Market Rent” shall mean the Base Rent, expressed as an annual rent per square foot of floor area, which Landlord would have received from leasing the Premises for the Extension Term to an unaffiliated person which is not then a tenant in the Project, assuming that such space were to be delivered in “as-is” condition, and taking into account the rental which such other tenant would most likely have paid for such premises, including market escalations, provided that Fair Market Rent shall not in any event be less than the Base Rent for the Premises as of the expiration of the Lease Term. Fair Market Rent shall not be reduced by reason of any costs or expenses saved by Landlord by reason of Landlord’s not having to find a new tenant for the Premises (including without limitation brokerage commissions, cost of improvements necessary to prepare the space for such tenant’s occupancy, rent concession, or lost rental income during any vacancy period). Fair Market Rent means only the rent component defined as Base Rent in the Lease and does not include reimbursements and payments by Tenant to Landlord with respect to Operating Expenses and other items payable or reimbursable by Tenant under the Lease. In addition to its obligation to pay Base Rent (as determined herein), Tenant shall continue to pay and reimburse Landlord as set forth in the Lease with respect to such Operating Expenses and other items with respect to the Premises during the Extension Term. The arbitration process described below shall be limited to the determination of the Base Rent and shall not affect or otherwise reduce or modify the Tenant’s obligation to pay or reimburse Landlord for such Operating Expenses and other reimbursable items.


(i) Landlord shall notify Tenant of its determination of the Fair Market Rent (which shall be made in Landlord’s sole discretion and shall in any event be not less than the Base Rent in effect as of the expiration of the Lease Term) for the Extension Term, and Tenant shall advise Landlord of any objection within [***] of receipt of Landlord’s notice. Failure to respond within the [***] period shall constitute Tenant’s acceptance of such Fair Market Rent. If Tenant objects, Landlord and Tenant shall commence negotiations to attempt to agree upon the Fair Market Rent within [***] of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice. If the parties cannot agree, each acting in good faith but without any obligation to agree, then the Lease Term shall not be extended and shall terminate on its scheduled termination date and Tenant shall have no further right hereunder or any remedy by reason of the parties’ failure to agree unless Tenant or Landlord invokes the arbitration procedure provided below to determine the Fair Market Rent.

(ii) Arbitration to determine the Fair Market Rent shall be in accordance with the Real Estate Valuation Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Unless otherwise required by state law, arbitration shall be conducted in the metropolitan area where the Project is located by a single arbitrator unaffiliated with either party. Either party may elect to arbitrate by sending written notice to the other party and the Regional Office of the American Arbitration Association within [***] after the [***] negotiating period provided in Paragraph (d), invoking the binding arbitration provisions of this paragraph. Landlord and Tenant shall each submit to the arbitrator their respective proposal of Fair Market Rent. The arbitrator must choose between the Landlord’s proposal and the Tenant’s proposal and may not compromise between the two or select some other amount. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Fair Market Rent determined by the arbitrator shall not be less than, and the arbitrator shall have no authority to determine a Fair Market Rent less than, the Base Rent in effect as of the scheduled expiration of the Lease Term. The cost of the arbitration shall be paid by Landlord if the Fair Market Rent is that proposed by Landlord and by Tenant if the Fair Market Rent is that proposed by Tenant; and shall be borne equally otherwise. If the arbitrator has not determined the Fair Market Rent as of the end of the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay 105 percent of the Base Rent in effect under the Lease as of the end of the Lease Term until the Fair Market Rent is determined as provided herein. Upon such determination, Landlord and Tenant shall make the appropriate adjustments to the payments between them.

(iii) The parties consent to the jurisdiction of any appropriate court to enforce the arbitration provisions of this Addendum and to enter judgment upon the decision of the arbitrator,

(d) Except for the Base Rent as determined above, Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises during the Extension Term shall be on the same terms and conditions as are in effect immediately prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term; provided, however, Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Lease Term pursuant to this addendum or to any allowances, credits or abatements or options to expand, contract, renew or extend the Lease.

(e) If Tenant does not send the Extension Notice within the period set forth in Paragraph (a), Tenant’s right to extend the Lease Term shall automatically terminate. Time is of the essence as to the giving of the Extension Notice and the notice of Tenant’s objection under Paragraph (c)(i).


(f) Landlord shall have no obligation to refurbish or otherwise improve the Premises for the Extension Term. The Premises shall be tendered on the Commencement Date of the Extension Term in “as-is” condition.

(g) If the Lease is extended for the Extension Term, then Landlord shall prepare and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease confirming the extension of the Lease Term and the other provisions applicable thereto.

(h) if Tenant exercises its right to extend the term of the Lease for the Extension Term pursuant to this Addendum, the term “Lease Term” as used in the Lease, shall be construed to include, when practicable, the Extension Term except as provided in (d) above.


ADDENDUM 5

CONSTRUCTION

ATTACHED TO AND A PART OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT

DATED MARCH 14, 2016, BETWEEN

Prologis Limited Partnership -I

and

The RealReal Inc.

In the event of a conflict between this Addendum 5 and either Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2, this Addendum 5 shall control.

(a) Landlord agrees to furnish or perform at Landlord’s sole cost and expense those items of construction and those improvements (the “Initial Improvements”) specified below. The Initial Improvements shall consist of certain improvements to the Warehouse Space approximately [***] excluding the Creative Space Improvements of [***] sf leaving [***] rentable square feet (“Warehouse Initial Improvements”) and to the Office Space approximately [***] rentable square feet (“Office Initial Improvements”), the plans, materials/finishes for which shall be agreed upon by the parties in good faith using Prologis standard building materials/finishes. Tenant shall respond to Landlord requests for approvals or information within three (3) business days of Landlord’s written requests. Any and all costs of constructing the Creative Space Improvements, as defined below, shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, which plans and associated construction shall be mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant (the “Approved Work”). Tenant shall pay for one quarter (1/4) of the Approved Work before Landlord begins construction of the Creative Space Improvements and, over the course of the remaining Creative Space Improvements work in three payments of 25% paid in advance and toward the work to be completed in accordance with the approved plans and work. The parties contemplate the Warehouse Initial Improvements shall be completed and delivered prior to completion of the Office Initial Improvements:

Warehouse Initial Improvements (“Phase 1” as set forth in Exhibit A-1):

 

   

Repaint the building exterior, unless such work will delay delivery of the Warehouse Initial Improvements in which case the parties agree it can be moved to Phase 2

 

   

Update landscaping, unless such work will delay delivery of the Warehouse Initial Improvements in which case the parties agree it can be moved to Phase 2.

 

   

Re-pave and re-stripe the parking lot areas, unless such work will delay delivery of the Warehouse Initial Improvements in which case the parties agree it can be moved to Phase 2.

 

   

Service dock equipment at dock doors.

 

   

New Title 24 compliant warehouse lighting, if required.

 

   

Ensure that roof has at least 5 years of useful life.

 

   

Ensure existing skylights are secure, not leaking and have at least 5 years of useful life.


   

Landlord believes the generator may not be operational or have a current permit. Landlord shall allow tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense to investigate and refurbish if Tenant chooses to, otherwise Landlord shall leave in place.

 

   

Ensure adequate exterior lighting-Landlord shall add additional warehouse wall packs at Landlord’s discretion

 

   

Remove observation tower.

 

   

Repair floor in warehouse area, addressing major holes, bolts and flaking sealant.

 

   

Remove existing offices/rooms along the West side of the warehouse where water damage has occurred up to and including the stairway leading to the second floor, leaving the remaining Northern open area that includes small restroom core that will be made functional.

 

   

Take the film off the windows

In addition to the above (and as part of the Initial Improvements), Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost, shall provide the following additional improvements to the Premises based on mutually agreed upon plans, materials/finishes:

Office Initial Improvements (“Phase 2” as set forth in Exhibit A-1):

 

   

Remodel the office area based on a design to be mutually agreed upon, to include new lobby, large and small conference rooms, kitchen, large employee break area (capacity of 200 people), with access to a renovated exterior patio area (renovated area cost not to exceed $[***]. Kitchen shall be a standard kitchen including but not limited to new sink, garbage disposal, dishwasher hookup, upper and lower cabinets, and new countertops, electrical outlets sufficient to support appliances and vending machines and new VCT flooring. Such work shall not include kitchen equipment or appliances.

 

   

Offices shall be provided with new paint, new carpet, lights and minor demo.

 

   

Elevator to 2nd floor of office, if required. This item is part of Building Upgrades and not required for Substantial Completion of the Office Initial Improvements.

 

   

ADA compliant restrooms on each floor of the office.

Landlord shall not charge to Tenant a construction management or oversight fee for the construction of the Initial Improvements. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the construction project may be done with multiple permits where required, to accommodate the phasing of Tenant into the Phase Spaces as described in Section 4 of the Lease. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that certain improvements may not be completed until a later date: elevator, seismic upgrade, fill in slab in concrete block in warehouse so it is level with existing and demolition of the front 4,000 square foot office space that is not part of the Premises (“Building Upgrades”). Landlord will complete such Building Upgrades at its sole cost and expense and use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate access to the property for performance of such work to minimize disruption to Tenant’s operations.

(b) After Landlord and Tenant have agreed upon the plans for the Initial Improvements, if Tenant shall desire any changes, Tenant shall so advise Landlord in writing and Landlord shall determine whether such changes can be made in a reasonable and feasible manner. Any and all out-of-pocket costs of reviewing any requested changes, and any and all costs of making any changes to the Initial Improvements which Tenant may request and which Landlord may agree to


shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and shall be paid to Landlord upon demand and before execution of the change order. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant desires Landlord to build approximately 46,800 rentable square feet of the warehouse for Creative Space Improvements as further set forth below (“Creative Space Improvements”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Substantial Completion of the Creative Space Improvements is not a condition for the Commencement Date to occur, and Tenant acknowledges that the Creative Space Improvements will not be Substantially Completed prior to the Commencement Date and rent will commence on the Creative Space Improvements at the same time as the Substantial Completion of the Office Initial Improvements.

(c) Landlord shall proceed with and complete with due diligence the construction of the Initial Improvements. Landlord shall be responsible for obtaining at its sole cost and expense all necessary building permits and approvals (and, only if required at issued by the City of Brisbane with respect to the Initial Improvements and the Creative Space Improvements, then a Certificate of Occupancy) to legally permit Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, such as permit inspection card sign-offs to the extent required by the municipality. All work shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner, using new materials, and shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements. Tenant shall be permitted to attend all weekly project meetings and Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to advise Tenant of a change in the regular schedule of the same. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing in advance as provided in Paragraph 4 of the lease of the date it intends to deliver such Phased Space. Substantial Completion of the Warehouse Initial Improvements, which is anticipated to occur on or about June 1, 2016, unless an earlier date is specified as the Commencement Date in this Lease or otherwise agreed to in writing between Landlord and Tenant, shall be the “Commencement Date,” unless the completion of such improvements was delayed due to any act or omission of, or delay caused by, Tenant including, without limitation, Tenant’s failure to approve plans, complete submittals or obtain permits within the time periods agreed to by the parties or as reasonably required by Landlord, in which case the Commencement Date shall be the date such improvements would have been completed but for the delays caused by Tenant. The Warehouse Initial Improvements (or Phased Space portions thereof) shall be deemed substantially completed (“Substantially Completed” or “Substantial Completion”) when, in the opinion of the project architect (the “Architect”), the Premises (or Phased Space portions thereof) are substantially completed except for minor punch list items which do not prevent in any material way the use of the Premises (or Phased Space portions thereof) for the purposes for which they were intended. Upon Substantial Completion of any portion of the Phase Space, Landlord and Tenant shall complete a walkthrough of the Phase Space to inspect same and Landlord shall promptly prepare and deliver to Tenant a punch list for any outstanding items. In the event Tenant, its employees, agents, or contractors cause construction of such improvements to be delayed, the date of Substantial Completion shall be deemed to be the date that, in the reasonable opinion of construction manager (whether an employee or agent of Landlord or a third party construction manager) (“Construction Manager”), Substantial Completion would have occurred if such delays had not taken place. If Landlord determines any act or omission of Tenant is likely to cause a delay in Substantial Completion, Landlord shall immediately notify Tenant so that Tenant may take actions to mitigate any potential delay. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall be solely responsible for delays caused by Tenant’s request for any changes in the plans, Tenant’s request for long lead items or Tenant’s interference with the construction of the Initial Improvements, and such delays shall not cause a deferral of the Commencement Date beyond what it otherwise would have been. After the Commencement Date Tenant shall, upon


demand, execute and deliver to Landlord a letter of acceptance of delivery of the Premises. In the event of any dispute as to the Initial Improvements, including the Commencement Date, the certificate of the Construction Manager shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Absent a Tenant caused delay, Substantial Completion as to any portion of the Premises shall not be deemed to occur unless and until the Architect is confirmed Substantial Completion of the Initial Improvements or portion thereof so completed.

(d) The failure of Tenant to take possession of or to occupy the Premises shall not serve to relieve Tenant of obligations arising on the Commencement Date or delay the payment of rent by Tenant. Upon mutual Lease execution, Landlord shall allow Tenant access to the Premises for purposes of installing communication cabling and security system cabling only. Access and related work will be coordinated with Landlord’s contractor so as not to interfere with or impede completion of the Initial Improvements. Subject to applicable ordinances and building codes governing Tenant’s right to occupy or perform in the Premises, Tenant shall be allowed to install its tenant improvements, machinery, equipment, fixtures, or other property on the Premises during the final stages of completion of construction of the Phased Space being delivered provided that Tenant does not thereby interfere with the completion of construction or cause any labor dispute as a result of such installations, and provided further that Tenant does hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from any loss or damage to such property, and all liability, loss, or damage arising from any injury to the Project or the property of Landlord, its contractors, subcontractors, or materialmen, and any death or personal injury to any person or persons arising out of such installations, unless any such loss, damage, liability, death, or personal injury was caused by Landlord’s negligence. Any such occupancy or performance in the Premises shall be in accordance with the provisions governing Tenant-Made Alterations and Trade Fixtures in the Lease, and shall be subject to Tenant providing to Landlord satisfactory evidence of insurance for personal injury and property damage related to such installations and satisfactory payment arrangements with respect to installations permitted hereunder. Delay in putting Tenant in possession of the Premises shall not serve to extend the term of this Lease or to make Landlord liable for any damages arising therefrom.

(e) The Premises (or applicable Phased Spaces) shall be delivered in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and in a clean, move-in condition (broom clean), with all Building systems in good working order, including but not limited to HVAC, roof, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, lighting and fire sprinkler systems. Landlord warrants the Initial Improvements against defects for a period of one (1) year from the Substantial Completion of each Phased Space; provided, however, that such warranty shall not be effective for any maintenance, repairs or replacements necessitated due to the misuse of, or damages caused by, Tenant, its employees, contractors, agents, subtenants, or invitees.

(f) In addition to the above Initial Improvements, Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost, except as indicated below, shall provide the following additional improvements to the Premises based on mutually agreed upon plans, materials/finishes and Tenant’s final approval of all associated costs (the “Creative Space Improvements”) where such improvements are not a part of the Initial Improvements, which improvements will be targeted for completion on or before September 1, 2016 or as otherwise mutually agreed by Landlord and Tenant:

ARTICLE 2 - DEMISE AND TERM

2.01. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby hires from Landlord, the Demised Premises, for the Term. This Lease is subject to (a) any and all existing encumbrances, conditions, rights, covenants, easements, restrictions and rights of way, of record, and other matters of record, provided that no such encumbrances, conditions, rights, covenants, easements, restrictions and rights of way, of record shall adversely impact ingress to or egress from the Building or the Demised Premises in any material manner or otherwise adversely impact the use and enjoyment of the Demised Premises by Tenant in any material manner, and is subject to applicable zoning and building laws, regulations and codes, and such matters as may be disclosed by an inspection or survey, and (b) easements now or hereafter created by Landlord in, under, over, across and upon the Land for access, sewer, water, electric, gas and other utility lines and services now or hereafter installed, provided that no such easement shall adversely impact ingress to or egress from the Building or the Demised Premises in any material manner or otherwise adversely impact the use and enjoyment of the Demised Premises by Tenant in any material manner. Promptly following the Commencement Date, the parties hereto shall enter into an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant setting forth the Commencement Date; provided, however, that the failure to enter into such agreement shall not affect the Commencement Date or any of the party’s’ rights or obligations pursuant to this Lease.

ARTICLE 3 - RENT

3.01. Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay the Fixed Rent in equal monthly installments in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term (except that Tenant shall pay, upon the execution and delivery of this Lease by Tenant, the Advance Rent, to be applied against the first installment or installments of Fixed Rent becoming due under this Lease). If the Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the Fixed Rent for the partial calendar month at the commencement of the Term shall be prorated.

3.02. The Rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States to Landlord at its office, or such other place, or Landlord’s agent, as Landlord shall designate by notice to Tenant. Tenant shall pay the Rent promptly when due without notice or demand therefor and without any abatement, deduction or setoff for any reason whatsoever, except as may be expressly provided in this Lease. If Tenant makes any payment to Landlord by check, same shall be by check of Tenant and Landlord shall not be required to accept the check of any other Person, and any check received by Landlord shall be deemed received subject to collection. If any check is mailed by Tenant, Tenant shall post such check in sufficient time prior to the date when payment is due so that such check will be received by Landlord on or before the date when payment is due. Tenant shall assume the risk of lateness or failure of delivery of the mails, and no lateness or failure of the mails will excuse Tenant from its obligation to have made the payment in question when required under this Lease.

3.03. No payment by Tenant or receipt or acceptance by Landlord of a lesser amount than the correct Rent shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance or pursue any other remedy in this Lease or at law provided.

3.04. If Tenant is in arrears in payment of Rent, Tenant waives Tenant’s right, if any, to designate the items to which any payments made by Tenant are to be credited, and Landlord may apply any payments made by Tenant to such items as Landlord sees fit, irrespective of and notwithstanding any designation or request by Tenant as to the items to which any such payments shall be credited.

3.05. In the event that any installment of Rent due hereunder shall be overdue, a “Late Charge” equal to [***] or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less for Rent so overdue may be charged by Landlord for each month or part thereof that the same remains overdue (“Late Payment Rate”). In the event that any check tendered by Tenant to Landlord is returned for insufficient funds, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to the charge imposed by the preceding sentence, a fee of $[***]. Any such Late Charges if not previously paid shall, at the option of the Landlord, be added to and become part of the next succeeding Rent payment to be made hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing and without waiving any other rights of Landlord in this Agreement, the Late Charge shall be waived for the first time in each calendar year that the Tenant fails to make a payment of Rent on a timely basis, provided such late payment is received by Landlord within seven (7) days of the date that such payment of Rent is due and owing and provided further that Tenant is in compliance with all other terms of the Lease.

3.06. It is intended that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease to the contrary, the Fixed Rent shall be an absolutely net return to Landlord throughout the Term, free of any expense, charge or other deduction whatsoever, with respect to the Demised Premises, the Building, the Land and/or the ownership, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, repair, rebuilding, use or occupation thereof, or any portion thereof, with respect to any interest of Landlord therein.

7


part thereof, Tenant shall duly procure and thereafter maintain such license or permit and submit the same to Landlord for inspection; provided however, that so long as no actions by or under the direction of Tenant prevent Landlord from obtaining same, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense and without including these costs and expenses in Operating Expenses, pursue and obtain a permanent Certificate of Occupancy and perform all work required in order to obtain the permanent Certificate of Occupancy. Tenant shall at all times comply with the terms and conditions of each such license or permit. Tenant shall not at any time use or occupy, or suffer or permit anyone under Tenant’s control to use or occupy the Demised Premises, or do or permit anything to be done in the Demised Premises, in any manner which (a) violates the Certificate of Occupancy for the Demised Premises or for the Building; (b) causes or is liable to cause injury to the Building or any equipment, facilities or systems therein; (c) constitutes a violation of the Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements; (d) impairs the character, reputation or appearance of the Building; (e) impairs the proper and economic maintenance, operation and repair of the Building and/or its equipment, facilities or systems, or (f) materially inconveniences other tenants or occupants of the Building.

Tenant shall pay to Landlord as an Additional Charge, an amount equal to [***] of Gross Receipts (as hereinafter defined) from any warehouse sale conducted at the Demised Premises, payable within fifteen (15) days after the warehouse sale.

Any warehouse sale conducted by Tenant shall be not more than four (4) consecutive days in duration. As used herein Gross Receipts shall mean the dollar aggregate of: (a) the actual sales price of all goods and merchandise sold, leased or licensed and the charges for all services performed by Tenant or otherwise in connection with all business conducted at such warehouse sale, whether made for cash, by check, credit or otherwise, without reserve or deduction for inability or failure to collect the same, including, without limitation, sales and services (i) where the orders therefor originate at or are accepted at or from the Demised Premises, whether delivery or performance thereof is made at or from the Demised Premises or any other place, it being understood that all sales made and orders received at or from the Demised Premises shall be deemed to have been made and completed therein even though the orders are fulfilled elsewhere or the payments of account are transferred to some other office for collection, and (ii) where the orders therefor result from solicitation off the Demised Premises but which are conducted by personnel operating from or reporting to or under the control or supervision of any person at the Demised Premises, and (b) all monies or other things of value received by Tenant from its operations at the Demised Premises (which are not excluded from Gross Receipts by the next succeeding sentence) including all finance charges, cost of gift or merchandise certificates and all deposits not refunded to customers. Gross Receipts shall not include (x) the exchange of merchandise between stores of Tenant where such exchange is made solely for the convenient operation of Tenant’s business and neither for the purpose of depriving Landlord of the benefits of a sale which would otherwise be made at or from the Demised Premises nor for the purpose of consummating a sale which has been theretofore made at or from the Demised Premises, or (y) the amount of any city, county, state or federal sales tax, luxury tax or excise tax on sales if the tax is added to the selling price and separately stated and actually paid to

 

8


the taxing authority by Tenant; provided, however, no franchise or capital stock tax and no income or similar tax based upon income, profits or Gross Receipts shall be deducted from Gross Receipts in any event whatsoever. Cash or credit refunds made upon transactions included within the Gross Receipts, but not exceeding the selling price of merchandise returned by the purchaser and accepted by Tenant, shall be deducted from the Gross Receipts for the period when such refunds are made. Each charge or sale upon installment or credit or layaway, so called, shall be treated as a sale for the full price irrespective of the time when Tenant shall receive payment from its customer. For purposes of this paragraph (i) the word “Tenant” shall include any of Tenant’s subtenants, concessionaires and licensees and (ii) sales by Tenant made in its ordinary course of business which merely occur at the same time as the so-called warehouse sale shall not be included in Gross Receipts.

ARTICLE 5 - PREPARATION OF DEMISED PREMISES

5.01. (a) The Demised Premises shall be completed and prepared for Tenant’s occupancy by Landlord at Landlord’s sole cost and expense in the manner described in, and subject to the provisions of Exhibit C. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease and subject to the provisions of Section 5.02 hereof, the taking of possession by Tenant of the Demised Premises shall be conclusive evidence as against Tenant that the Demised Premises and the Building were in good and satisfactory condition at the time such possession was taken. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant is leasing the Demised Premises “as is” on the date hereof, subject to reasonable wear and tear.

5.01. (b)(i) Except for Landlord’s Work or as otherwise provided in this Lease to the contrary, (a) Landlord shall deliver the Demised Premises to Tenant in “as is” condition, and (b) Tenant shall be responsible for all construction and work to prepare the Demised Premises for Tenant’s occupancy at Tenant’s cost and expense. Such construction shall be in accordance with Section 36.09 of this Lease.

Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its approval for construction work which is non-structural in nature and does not involve or affect the mechanical systems of the Demised Premises. Tenant shall employ licensed architect(s) and/or engineer(s) for the preparation of the Plans and Specifications. Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s approval or disapproval of such Plans and Specifications within ten (10) Business Days of Landlord’s receipt thereof. If Landlord disapproves, Landlord shall specify the reasons for disapproval with reasonable specificity and Tenant shall resubmit revised Plans and Specifications that correct such items. The foregoing procedure shall be repeated, if requested by Tenant up to three (3) times, until Landlord approves the Plans and Specifications.

At the time of Landlord’s review of such plans, Landlord will advise Tenant in writing of those matters requiring restoration upon the expiration of the Term or any earlier termination of this Lease. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Tenant from removing, at its sole cost and expense, any items of Tenant’s Work from the Demised Premises at any time provided that the Tenant restores any damage caused to the Demised Premises as a result of such installation and removal.

(iii) Tenant shall be solely responsible for the structural integrity of Tenant’s Work and for the adequacy or sufficiency of the Plans and Specifications and all the improvements depicted thereon or covered thereby, and Landlord’s consent thereto, approval thereof, or incorporation therein of any of its recommendations shall in no way diminish Tenant’s responsibility therefor or reduce or mitigate Tenant’s liability in connection therewith. Landlord shall have no obligations or liabilities by reason of this Lease in connections with the performance of construction or of the finish, decorating or installation work performed by Tenant, or on its behalf, or in connection with the contracts for the performance thereof entered into by Tenant. Any warranties extended or available to Tenant in connection with the aforesaid work shall be for the benefit also of Landlord. Tenant further agrees that once it commences construction, it shall diligently and continuously proceed with construction to completion.

5.02. Early Access. Provided Tenant has delivered evidence of insurance as required under Article 13 and is not in default of monetary or any other non-monetary obligations under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant and its contractors shall be permitted to enter the Demised Premises prior to the Commencement Date solely (a) for the installation of Tenant’s Work, and/or (b) after Landlord’s sprinkler work is completed, to store Tenant’s inventory in a single area of not more than 20,000 square feet and such entry shall neither (x) constitute evidence as against Tenant that the Demised Premises and the Building were in good and satisfactory condition at the time of such entry nor (y) trigger the Commencement Date under Section 1.01(J); provided, however, that (i) such use shall not hinder or delay Landlord in the performance of any improvements in progress and/or the Landlord’s Work, (ii) Tenant shall first obtain Landlord’s approval with respect to the Tenant’s Work and Tenant shall obtain all required permits for same, and (iii) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord, its agents and contractors shall be performing work in the Demised Premises and Tenant shall be solely responsible for the security of Tenant’s property.

Tenant in the submission of plans, drawings, specifications or other information or in approving any working drawings or estimates or in giving any authorizations or approvals), or (b) any additional time needed for the completion of the Landlord’s Work by the inclusion in the Landlord’s Work of any items specified by Tenant that require long lead time for delivery or installation, then Landlord’s Work shall be deemed substantially complete on the date when they would have been ready but for such Tenant Delay. The Demised Premises shall be conclusively presumed to be in satisfactory condition on the Commencement Date except for the minor or insubstantial details of finish work or mechanical adjustment that do not interfere in any material manner with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Demised Premises, other than to a de minimis extent (such minor or insubstantial details, “Punchlist Work”), which Tenant gives Landlord notice within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s delivery of possession of the Demised Premises to Tenant with all of Landlord’s Work substantially completed. Tenant’s notice shall specify such Punchlist Work with reasonable particularity. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete all Punchlist Work within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s delivery of its notice thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant shall notify Landlord within one (1) year of the substantial completion of Landlord’s Work (except one year from completion of the Punchlist Work with respect to such Punchlist Work) of any defects in Landlord’s Work, Landlord shall promptly remedy such defects at its sole cost and expense.

ARTICLE 6 - TAX AND OPERATING EXPENSE PAYMENTS

6.01. From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as hereinafter provided, Tenant’s Fraction of Real Estate Taxes. Tenant’s Fraction of the Real Estate Taxes shall be the Real Estate Taxes in respect of the Building for the period in question, multiplied by the Tenant’s Fraction, plus the Real Estate Taxes in respect of the Land for the period in question multiplied by the Tenant’s Fraction. If any portion of the Building shall be exempt from all or any part of the Real Estate Taxes, then for the period of time when such exemption is in effect, the Floor Space on such exempt portion shall be excluded when making the above computations in respect of the part of the Real Estate Taxes for which such portion shall be exempt. Landlord shall estimate the annual amount of Tenant’s Fraction of the Real Estate Taxes (which estimate may be changed by Landlord at any time and from time to time), and Tenant shall pay to Landlord 1/12th of the amount so estimated on the first day of each month in advance. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord on demand from time to time the amount which, together with said monthly installments, will be sufficient in Landlord’s reasonable estimation to pay Tenant’s Fraction of any Real Estate Taxes thirty (30) days prior to the date when such Real Estate Taxes shall first become due. When the amount of any item comprising Real Estate Taxes is finally determined for a real estate fiscal tax year, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement in reasonable detail of the same accompanied by copies of the applicable tax bills, and the figures used for computing Tenant’s Fraction of the same, and if the Tenant’s Fraction so stated is more or less than the amount theretofore paid by Tenant for such item based on Landlord’s estimate, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the deficiency within thirty (30) days after submission of such statement, or Landlord shall, at its sole election, either refund to Tenant the excess or apply same to the next installment or installments of Real Estate Taxes becoming due hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Lease shall expire or be sooner terminated before any such excess has been fully recovered by Tenant, Landlord shall pay the remainder of the excess to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, which obligation shall survive any such expiration or termination. Any Real Estate Taxes for a real estate fiscal tax year, a part of which is included

 

11


within the Term and a part of which is not so included, shall be apportioned on the basis of the number of days in the real estate fiscal tax year included in the Term, and the real estate fiscal tax year for any improvement assessment will be deemed to be the one-year period commencing on the date when such assessment is due, except that if any improvement assessment is payable in installments, the real estate fiscal tax year for each installment will be deemed to be the one-year period commencing on the date when such installment is due. The above computations shall be made by Landlord in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Floor Space referred to will be based upon the average of the Floor Space in existence on the first day of each month during the period in question. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible for any increase in Real Estate Taxes attributable to assessments for improvements installed by or for the account of Tenant at the Demised Premises. If the Demised Premises are not separately assessed, the amount of any such increase shall be determined by reference to the records of the tax assessor.

6.02. From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Fraction of the Operating Expenses within twenty (20) days after Landlord submits to Tenant an invoice for the Operating Expenses. Unless Tenant is in arrears in any payments due under the Lease, Landlord shall not invoice Tenant for Operating Expenses more than once per month.

6.03. Each such statement given by Landlord pursuant to Section 6.01 or Section 6.02 shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless within 90 days after the receipt of such statement Tenant shall notify Landlord that it disputes the correctness of the statement, specifying the particular respects in which the statement is claimed to be incorrect. If such dispute is not settled by agreement, either party may submit the dispute to arbitration as provided in Article 33. Pending the determination of such dispute by agreement or arbitration as aforesaid, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement, pay the Additional Charges in accordance with Landlord’s statement, without prejudice to Tenant’s position. If the dispute shall be determined in Tenant’s favor, Landlord shall within thirty (30) days pay to Tenant the amount of Tenant’s overpayment resulting from compliance with Landlord’s statement.

6.04. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall have no obligation to pay Real Estate Taxes or Operating Expenses that accrue with respect to any period that predates the Commencement Date.

6.05. Provided Tenant is not in default of monetary or any other material non-monetary obligations under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord, to examine Landlord’s records relating to Operating Expenses of the Demised Premises for no more than one day per Calendar Year. Landlord shall make records available for examination at Landlord’s principal office during Landlord’s normal business days and normal business hours. If any such review discloses that Operating Expenses were overstated by Landlord, Landlord shall promptly refund or credit to Tenant any such excess. This provision shall not be deemed to give Tenant the right to offset or deduct or withhold payment of Rent. No subtenant shall have the right to conduct an examination and no assignee shall conduct an inspection for any period during which such assignee was not in possession of the Demised Premises. In the event Tenant elects to exercise an inspection of Landlord’s records relating to Operating Expenses of the Demised Premises in accordance with this Section 6.05, such inspection must be conducted by an independent nationally recognized accounting firm that is not being compensated by Tenant on a contingency fee basis and Tenant and such firm agree to keep all information obtained during such examination confidential.

ARTICLE 7 - DEVELOPMENT COMMON AREAS

7.01. Except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease and so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord will operate, manage, equip, light, repair and maintain, or cause to be operated, managed, equipped, lighted, repaired and maintained, the Common Areas for their intended purposes. Landlord reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to construct within the Common Areas kiosks, fountains, aquariums, planters, pools, and sculptures, and to install vending machines, telephone booths, benches and the like, provided same shall not unreasonably block or interfere with Tenant’s means of ingress and egress to and from the Demised Premises or otherwise adversely impact in any material manner upon the use and enjoyment of the Demised Premises by Tenant and its successor and/or assigns, if any.

7.02. So long a Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Tenant and its subtenants and concessionaires, and their respective officers, employees, agents, customers and invitees, shall have the non-exclusive right, in common with Landlord and all others to whom Landlord has granted or may hereafter grant such right, but subject to the Rules and Regulations, to use the Common Areas. Landlord reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to close all or any portions of the Development Common Areas when in Landlord’s reasonable judgment any such closing is necessary or desirable (a) to make repairs or changes or to effect construction, (b) to prevent the acquisition of public rights in such areas, (c) to discourage unauthorized parking, (d) to protect or preserve natural persons or property, or (e) to cease the utilization of such premises as a Development Common Area, provided that no such closure shall adversely impact in any material manner upon ingress to or egress from the Building or the Demised Premises or otherwise adversely impact in any material manner upon the use and enjoyment of the Demised Premises by Tenant and its successors and/or assigns, if any. Landlord may do such other acts in and to the Development Common Areas as in its judgment may be desirable to improve or maintain same so long as such other acts do not adversely impact in any material manner upon the use and enjoyment of the Demised Premises by Tenant and its subtenants and assigns, if any.

ARTICLE 8 - SECURITY

8.01. (a) In the event Tenant deposits with Landlord any Security Deposit, the same shall be held as security for the full and faithful payment and performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. If Tenant defaults beyond applicable notice and cure periods in the full and prompt payment and performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, including, without limitation, the payment of Rent, Landlord may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the security so deposited to the extent required for the payment of any Rent or any other sums as to which Tenant is in default or for any sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Tenant’s default in respect of any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, including, without limitation, any damages or deficiency in the reletting of the Demised Premises, whether such damages or deficiency accrue before or after summary proceedings or other re-entry

 

13


by Landlord. If Landlord shall so use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the security, Tenant shall upon demand promptly deposit with Landlord a sum equal to the amount so used, applied and retained, as security as aforesaid. Provided at the end of the Term Tenant is not in default hereunder beyond any notice and cure period, the security or any balance thereof to which Tenant is entitled shall be returned or paid over to Tenant after the date on which this Lease shall expire or sooner end or terminate, and after delivery to Landlord of entire possession of the Demised Premises. In the event of any sale or leasing of the Land, Landlord shall transfer the security to which Tenant is entitled to the vendee or lessee and Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return or payment thereof; and Tenant shall look solely to the new landlord for the return or payment of the same; and the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the same to a new landlord. Tenant shall not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the monies deposited herein as security, and neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

8.01. (b) In lieu of the cash security required by this Lease, Tenant shall provide to Landlord an irrevocable transferable Letter of Credit in the amount of the Security Deposit in form annexed hereto as Exhibit E and issued Pacific Western Bank or any other financial institution approved by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right, upon written notice to Tenant (except that for Tenant’s non¬payment of Rent or for Tenant’s failure to comply with Article 8.03, no such notice shall be required) and regardless of the exercise of any other remedy the Landlord may have by reason of a default, to draw upon said Letter of Credit to cure any default of Tenant which (except as otherwise provided herein) is not cured within applicable notice and cure periods, or for any purpose authorized by section 8.01(a) of this Lease and if Landlord does so, Tenant shall, upon demand, additionally fund the Letter of Credit with the amount so drawn so that Landlord shall have the full deposit on hand at all times during the Term of the Lease and for a period of thirty (30) days’ thereafter. In the event of a sale of the Building or a lease of the Building subject to this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the security to the vendee or lessee.

8.02. The Letter of Credit shall expire not earlier than thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date of this Lease. The Letter of Credit may be of the type which is automatically renewed on an annual basis (Annual Renewal Date), provided however, in such event Tenant shall maintain the Letter of Credit and its renewals in full force and effect during the entire Term of this Lease (including any renewals or extensions) and for a period of thirty (30) days thereafter. The Letter of Credit will contain a provision requiring the issuer thereof to give the beneficiary (Landlord) thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of its intention not to renew the Letter of Credit on the next Annual Renewal Date.

8.03. In the event Tenant shall fail to deliver to Landlord a substitute irrevocable Letter of Credit, in the amount stated above, on or before thirty (30) days prior to the next Annual Renewal Date, said failure shall be deemed a default under this Lease. Landlord may, in its discretion treat this the same as a default in the payment of Rent or any other default and pursue the appropriate remedy. In addition, and not in limitation, Landlord shall be permitted to draw upon the Letter of Credit as in the case of any other default by Tenant under the Lease.

ARTICLE 9 - SUBORDINATION

9.01. This Lease, and all rights of Tenant hereunder, are and shall be subject and subordinate to all ground leases and underlying leases of the Land and/or the Building now or hereafter existing and to all Mortgages which may now or hereafter affect the Land and/or building and/or any of such leases, whether or not such Mortgages or leases shall also cover other lands and/or buildings, to each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under such Mortgages, and to all renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions of such leases and such Mortgages and spreaders and consolidations of such Mortgages. The provisions of this Section 9.01 shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall within ten (10) days of request execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument that Landlord, the lessor under any such lease or the Mortgagee of any such Mortgage or any of their respective successors in interest may reasonably request to evidence such subordination. (See Rider Section R12.)

9.02. If any act or omission of Landlord would give Tenant the right, immediately or after lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate this Lease, or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not exercise such right (a) until it has given written notice of such act or omission to Landlord and each Superior Mortgagee and each Superior Lessor whose name and address shall previously have been furnished to Tenant, and (b) until a reasonable period for remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice and following the time when such Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor shall have become entitled under such Superior Mortgage or Superior Lease, as the case may be, to remedy the same (which reasonable period shall in no event be less than the period to which Landlord would be entitled under this Lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy), provided such Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor shall with due diligence give Tenant notice of intention to, and commence, its cure of Landlord’s default within the period provided for in Section 7 of Exhibit G or any other SNDA (as defined in Section 9.05), and thereafter continue to remedy such act or omission with commercially reasonable and diligent efforts.

9.03. If any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or deed, then at the request of such party so succeeding to Landlord’s rights (“Successor Landlord”) and upon such Successor Landlord’s written agreement to accept Tenant’s attornment, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such Successor Landlord as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Successor Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment. Upon such attornment this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Lease except that the Successor Landlord shall not (a) be liable for any previous act or omission of Landlord under this Lease not continuing after Successor Landlord shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease; (b) be subject to any offset, not expressly provided for in this Lease, which theretofore shall have accrued to Tenant against Landlord; (c) be liable for the return of any Security Deposit, in whole or in part, to the extent that same is not paid over to the Successor Landlord; or (d) be bound by any previous modification of this Lease or by any previous prepayment of more than one month’s Fixed Rent or Additional Charges, unless such modification or prepayment shall have been expressly approved in writing by the Superior Lessor of the Superior Lease or the Mortgagee of the Superior Mortgage through or by reason of which the Successor Landlord shall have succeeded to the rights of Landlord under this Lease.

 

15


9.04. If any then present or prospective Superior Mortgagee shall require any modification(s) of this Lease, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver to Landlord such instruments effecting such modification(s) as Landlord shall request, provided that such modification(s) do not adversely affect in any material respect any of Tenant’s rights under this Lease or at law or in equity, or increase the Rent or any of Tenant’s costs of doing business from the Demised Premises, other than to a de minimis extent.

9.05. To the extent of any provision of this Article 9 conflict with the provisions of any subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (“SNDA”), the provisions of the SNDA shall govern. To the extent any SNDA may require Tenant to make payments of Fixed Rent or Additional Charges directly to the Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor, as the case may be, Landlord agrees that such payments shall be deemed to satisfy the obligations of the Tenant to make such payments to Landlord.

ARTICLE 10 - QUIET ENJOYMENT

10.01. So long as this Lease shall be in full force and effect, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Demised Premises without hindrance, ejection or molestation by Landlord or any person lawfully claiming through or under Landlord, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of this Lease and to Superior Leases and Superior Mortgages.

ARTICLE 11 - ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND MORTGAGING

11.01. Tenant shall not, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law or otherwise, (a) assign or otherwise transfer this Lease, or advertise to do so, (b) sublet the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or advertise to do so, or allow the same to be used, occupied or utilized by anyone other than Tenant, or (c) mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise hypothecate this Lease in any manner whatsoever, without in each instance obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord. Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold its consent to the subletting of the Demised Premises or an assignment of this Lease. In determining reasonableness, Landlord may take into consideration all relevant factors surrounding the proposed sublease and assignment, including, without limitation, the following: (i) The business reputation of the proposed assignee or subtenant and its officers or directors in relation to the other tenants or occupants of the Building or Development; (ii) the nature of the business and the proposed use of the Demised Premises by the proposed assignee or subtenant in relation to the other tenants or occupants of the Building or Development; (iii) whether the proposed assignee or subtenant is then a tenant (or subsidiary, affiliate or parent of a tenant) of other space in the Building or Development, or any other property owned or managed by Landlord or its affiliates; (iv) the financial condition of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (v) restrictions, if any, contained in leases or other agreements affecting the Building and the Development; (vi) the effect that the proposed assignee’s or subtenant’s occupancy or use of the Demised Premises would have upon the operation and maintenance of the Building and the Development; (vii) the extent to which the proposed assignee and Tenant provide Landlord with assurances reasonably satisfactory to Landlord as to the satisfaction of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. In any event, at no time shall there be more than two (2) subtenants of the

 

16


Demised Premises permitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may advertise an assignment of the Lease or a sublease of the Demised Premises provided the advertising does not price the unit at an effective cost per square foot which is less than Landlord’s then asking rents for comparable properties in the vicinity of the Demised Premises.

In the event the Demised Premises are sublet or this Lease is assigned, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as an Additional Charge the following amounts less the actual reasonable expense incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment or subletting, as substantiated by Tenant, in writing, to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, including, without limitation, a reasonable brokerage fee and reasonable legal fees, as the case may be: (i) in the case of an assignment, an amount equal to [***] of all sums and other consideration paid to Tenant by the assignee for or by reason of such assignment, and (ii) in the case of a sublease, [***] of any rents, additional charge or other consideration payable under the sublease to Tenant by the subtenant which is in excess of the Fixed Rent and Additional Charges accruing during the term of the sublease in respect of the subleased space (at the rate per square foot payable by Tenant hereunder) pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein contained in this subsection to the contrary, the forgoing Additional Charge shall not be applicable to and upon prior or simultaneous notice to Landlord Tenant may assign this Lease, or sublet the whole or any portion of the Premises, to its parent, subsidiary or any affiliate, provided that (i) with respect to an assignment, that such assignee promptly executes and delivers to Landlord an assignment agreement pursuant to which it assumes all obligations under the Lease; and (ii) with respect to a sublease, that such sublessee promptly executes and delivers to Landlord a sublease agreement which includes a provision to the effect that the sublease is subject to the terms and provisions of the Lease. The term “affiliate”, as used hereinabove, shall mean any corporation or other entity controlled by, under common control with, or which controls Tenant.

11.02. If at any time (a) the original Tenant named herein, (b) the then Tenant, (c) any Guarantor, or (d) any Person owning a majority of the voting stock of, or directly or indirectly controlling, the then Tenant shall be a corporation, limited liability company, or partnership, any transfer of voting stock or other ownership interest (including but not limited to membership interest, economic interest, or partnership interest) resulting in the person(s) who shall have owned a majority of such corporation’s shares of voting stock, or the majority of the membership interests or economic interest in such limited liability company, or the majority of the general partners’ interest or the majority of the limited partner’s interest in such partnership, as the case may be, immediately before such transfer, ceasing to own a majority of such shares of voting stock, membership or economic interest, general partner’s ownership or economic interest, or limited partner’s ownership or economic interest, as the case may be, except as the result of transfers by inheritance, shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease as to which Landlord’s consent shall have been required, and in any such event Tenant shall notify Landlord. The provisions of this Section 11.02 shall not be applicable to any corporation all the outstanding voting stock of which is listed on a national securities exchange (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) or is traded in the over-the-counter market with quotations reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers through its automated system for reporting quotations and shall not apply to transactions with a corporation or limited liability company into or with which the then Tenant is merged or consolidated or to which substantially all of the then Tenant’s assets are transferred or to any corporation or limited liability company which controls or is controlled by the then Tenant or is under common control with the then Tenant, provided that in

 

17


any of such events (i) the successor to Tenant has a net worth computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles at least equal to the greater of (1) the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or transfer, or (2) the net worth of the original Tenant on the date of this Lease, and (ii) proof satisfactory to Landlord of such net worth shall have been delivered to Landlord at least 10 days prior to the effective date of any such transaction (or immediately following such transaction if Tenant shall reasonably require that the transaction remain confidential). For the purposes of this Section, the words “voting stock” shall refer to shares of stock regularly entitled to vote for the election of directors of the corporation. Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the Term to inspect the stock record books or other ownership records of the entity to which the provisions of this Section 11.02 apply, and Tenant will produce the same on request of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, notice only to (and not consent by) Landlord shall be required in connection with a sale of the tenant entity, whether effected via a stock sale or a sale of assets, provided (i) such sale is not made in an effort to avoid the assignment restrictions contained in section 11.01; (ii) the provisions of subsections (i) - (vii) in the first paragraph of section 11.01 are satisfied; and (iii) the net worth of the successor tenant/assignee is not less than $[***] at the time of such transaction. In the event the foregoing conditions are satisfied, landlord shall not be entitled to share in any profits of such transaction as provided for in the second paragraph of section 11.01.

11.03. If this Lease is assigned, whether or not in violation of this Lease, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee. If the Demised Premises or any part thereof are sublet or used or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, whether or not in violation of this Lease, Landlord may, after any monetary or other material non-monetary default by Tenant, and expiration of Tenant’s time to cure such default, collect rent from the subtenant or occupant. In either event, Landlord may apply the net amount collected to the Rent, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of Section 11.01 or Section 11.02, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. The consent by Landlord to any assignment, mortgaging, subletting or use or occupancy by others shall not in any way be considered to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express written consent of Landlord to any other or further assignment, mortgaging or subletting or use or occupancy by others not expressly permitted by this Article 10. References in this Lease to use or occupancy by others (that is, anyone other than Tenant) shall not be construed as limited to subtenants and those claiming under or through subtenants but shall be construed as including also licensees and others claiming under or through Tenant, immediately or remotely.

11.04. Any permitted assignment or transfer, whether made with Landlord’s consent pursuant 21 to Section 11.01 or without Landlord’s consent if permitted by Section 11.02, shall be made only if, and shall not be effective until, the assignee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord whereby the assignee shall assume Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and whereby the assignee shall agree that all of the provisions in this Article 11 shall, notwithstanding such assignment or transfer, continue to be binding upon it in respect to all future assignments and transfers. Notwithstanding any assignment or transfer, whether or not in violation of the provisions of this Lease, and notwithstanding the acceptance of Rent by Landlord from an assignee, transferee, or any other party, the original Tenant and any other person(s) who at any time was or were Tenant shall remain fully liable for the payment of the Rent and for Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease.

 

18


11.05. The liability of the original named Tenant and any other Person(s) (including but not limited to any Guarantor) who at any time are or become responsible for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall not be discharged, released or impaired by any agreement extending the time of, or modifying any of the terms or obligations under this Lease, or by any waiver or failure of Landlord to enforce, any of this Lease.

11.06. The listing of any name other than that of Tenant, whether on the doors of the Demised Premises or the Building directory, or otherwise, shall not operate to vest any right or interest in this Lease or in the Demised Premises, nor shall it be deemed to be the consent of Landlord to any assignment or transfer of this Lease or to any sublease of the Demised Premises or to the use or occupancy thereof by others. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall have the absolute right to withhold its consent to an assignment or subletting to a Person who is otherwise a tenant or occupant of the Building, or of a building owned or managed by Landlord or its affiliated entities in the Development.

11.07. Without limiting any of the provisions of Article 24, if pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code (or any similar law hereafter enacted having the same general purpose), Tenant is permitted to assign this Lease notwithstanding the restrictions contained in this Lease, adequate assurance of future performance by an assignee expressly permitted under such Code shall be deemed to mean the deposit of cash security in an amount equal to the sum of one (1) year’s Fixed Rent plus an amount equal to the Additional Charges for the Calendar Year preceding the year in which such assignment is intended to become effective, which deposit shall be held by Landlord for the balance of the Term, without interest, as security for the full performance of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, to be held and applied in the manner specified for security in Article 8.

11.08. If Tenant shall propose to assign or in any manner transfer this Lease or any interest therein, or sublet the Demised Premises or any part or parts thereof, or grant any concession or license or otherwise permit occupancy of all or any part of the Demised Premises by any person, Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord, together with a copy of a letter of intent or term sheet setting forth the material terms and provisions of the proposed assignment or sublease transaction and such financial and other information pertaining to the proposed assignee, transferee, subtenant, concessionaire or licensee as Landlord shall reasonably require. Landlord shall provide written notice of its consent to or rejection of any proposed assignment or sublease transaction within twenty (20) days of Tenant’s delivery of its notice requesting Landlord’s consent. If Landlord shall reject the proposed assignment or sublease transaction, Landlord shall include with its notice of rejection a reasonably detailed description of Landlord’s reason(s) for rejecting the proposed transaction. If Landlord consents to the proposed assignment or sublease transaction and Tenant does not consummate the subject transaction within ninety (90) days after Landlord delivers its notice approving the transaction, Tenant shall again be required to comply with the provisions of this Section 11.08 in connection with any such transaction as if the notice by Tenant referred to above in this Section 11.08 had not been given. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to entertain or consider any request by Tenant to consent to any proposed assignment of this Lease or sublet of all or any part of the Demised Premises unless each request by Tenant is accompanied by a non-refundable fee payable to Landlord in the amount of [***] to cover Landlord’s administrative, legal, and other costs and expenses incurred in processing each of Tenant’s requests. Neither

 

19


Tenant’s payment nor Landlord’s acceptance of the foregoing fee shall be construed to impose any obligation whatsoever upon Landlord to consent to Tenant’s request. If Landlord shall fail to provide notice of its approval or disapproval of any request for assignment or sublease within twenty (20) days, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved of the assignment or sublease if Tenant refers to this Lease section and notifies Landlord of this deemed approval provision in Tenant’s request for approval.

ARTICLE 12 - COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

12.01. Tenant shall comply with all Legal Requirements which shall, in respect of the Demised Premises or the use and occupation thereof, or the abatement of any nuisance in, on or about the Demised Premises, impose any violation, order or duty on Landlord or Tenant; and Tenant shall pay all the cost, expenses, fines, penalties and damages which may be imposed upon Landlord or any Superior Lessor by reason of or arising out of Tenant’s failure to fully and promptly comply with and observe the provisions of this Section 12.01. However, Tenant need not comply with any such law or requirement of any public authority so long as Tenant shall be contesting the validity thereof, or the applicability thereof to the Demised Premises, in accordance with Section 12.02. Landlord represents that to the best of its knowledge there are no outstanding notices of violation of any Legal Requirements affecting the Demised Premises or the Building and Landlord shall be solely responsible for correcting any such open violations notices received prior to the Commencement Date unless arising as a result of any action of Tenant or any entity acting under the direction of or on behalf of Tenant.

12.02. Tenant may contest, by appropriate proceedings prosecuted diligently and in good faith, the validity, or applicability to the Demised Premises, of any Legal Requirement, provided that (a) Landlord shall not be subject to criminal penalty or to prosecution for a crime or offense, and neither the Demised Premises nor any part thereof shall be subject to being condemned or vacated, by reason of non-compliance or otherwise by reason of such contest; (b) before the commencement of such contest, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord either (i) the bond of a surety company reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, which bond shall be, as to its provisions and form, satisfactory to Landlord, and shall be in an amount at least equal to [***]% of the cost of such compliance (as estimated by a reputable contractor designated by Landlord) and shall indemnify Landlord against the cost thereof and against all liability for damages, interest, penalties and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), resulting from or incurred in connection with such contest or non-compliance, or (ii) other security in place of such bond satisfactory to Landlord; (c) such non-compliance or contest shall not constitute or result in any violation of any Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage, or if any such Superior Lease and/or Superior Mortgage shall permit such non-compliance or contest on condition of the taking of action or furnishing of security by Landlord, such action shall be taken and such security shall be furnished at the expense of Tenant; and (d) Tenant shall keep Landlord advised as to the status of such proceedings. Without limiting the application of the above, Landlord shall be deemed subject to prosecution for a crime or offense if Landlord, or its managing agent, or any officer, director, partner, shareholder or employee of Landlord or its managing agent, as an individual, is charged with a crime or offense of any kind or degree whatsoever, whether by service of a summons or otherwise, unless such charge is withdrawn before Landlord or its managing agent, or such officer, director, partner, shareholder or employee of Landlord or its managing agent (as the case may be) is required to plead or answer thereto. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the

 

20


contrary, Tenant shall not file any Real Estate Tax appeal without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s absolute discretion. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not file any Real Estate Tax Appeal with respect to the Land, Building or the Demised Premises.

ARTICLE 13 - INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY

13.01. Landlord shall maintain or cause to be maintained All Risk insurance in respect of the Building and other improvements on the Land normally covered by such insurance (except for the property Tenant is required to cover with insurance under Section 13.02 and similar property of other tenants and occupants of the Building or buildings and other improvements which are on land neither owned by nor leased to Landlord) for the benefit of Landlord, any Superior Lessors, any Superior Mortgagees and any other parties Landlord may at any time and from time to time designate, as their interests may appear, but not for the benefit of Tenant, and shall maintain rent insurance as required by any Superior Lessor or any Superior Mortgagee. The All Risk insurance will be in the amounts required by any Superior Lessor or any Superior Mortgagee but not less than the amount sufficient to avoid the effect of the co-insurance provisions of the applicable policy or policies. Landlord may also maintain any other forms and types of insurance which Landlord shall deem reasonable in respect of the Building and Land. Landlord shall have the right to provide any insurance maintained or caused to be maintained by it under blanket policies.

13.02. During the Term Tenant shall maintain at its own cost and expense the following insurance: (a) comprehensive or commercial general liability insurance in respect of the Demised Premises and the conduct and operation of business therein, having limits of liability not less than $[***] per occurrence for bodily injury or property damage coverage to include but not be limited to completed operations, contractual liability and product liability , (b) automobile liability insurance covering all owned, hired and non-owned vehicles used by the Tenant in connection with their work and any loading or unloading of such vehicles, with limits as stated above and (c) workmen’s compensation and employers liability insurance as required by statutes, but in any event not less than $[***] for each accident or occupational disease for employers liability, (d) All-Risk insurance covering Tenant’s stock in trade, fixtures, furniture, furnishings, removable floor coverings, equipment, signs or any other property of Tenant in the Demised Premises, against loss or damage in an amount equal to the full replacement value thereof as same might increase from time to time or such higher amount as either may be required by the holder of any fee mortgage covering the Demises Premises or is necessary to prevent Landlord and/or Tenant from becoming a co-insurer, such insurance to include (i) coverage for property of others in the care, custody and control of Tenant in amounts sufficient to cover the maximum value of such property and to the extent of Tenant’s liability therefor, (ii) boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable (iii) rent insurance in an amount equal to the Rent, and all other charges payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease for a period of one (1) year and (iv) a provision that the insurer will waive subrogation against Landlord, and (e) any other insurance that Landlord may reasonably require provided same is generally required by owners of similar real property. Landlord may at any time and from time to time require that the limits for the liability insurance to be maintained by Tenant be increased to the limits that new Tenants in similar buildings are required by Landlord to maintain, but in no event more frequently than once every two (2) years. The insurance carried pursuant to Section 13.01 (d) shall be carried in favor of Landlord and the holder of any fee mortgage on the Premises and the standard mortgagee clause shall be attached to the appropriate policies or certificates

 

21


thereof. Insurance carried pursuant to Section 13.01 (d) shall provide that the loss, if any, shall be adjusted with and payable to the party who will perform the work of restoration pursuant to Article 22 and such mortgagee as their interests may appear. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and any additional insured(s) certificates for such fully paid for policies (with property and liability insurance evidenced on an Acord 27 form) upon execution hereof. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with copies of all such insurance policies. Tenant shall procure and pay for renewals of such insurance from time to time before the expiration thereof, and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and any additional insured(s), certificates therefor at least five (5) Business Days before the expiration of any existing policy. All such policies shall be issued by companies acceptable to Landlord, having a Bests Rating of not less than A, Class VII (or an equivalent S&P rating if requested by Landlord), and licensed to do business in New Jersey, and all such policies shall contain a provision whereby the same cannot be canceled unless Landlord and any additional insured(s) are given at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such cancellation. The insurance required by this Section (other than worker’s compensation insurance) and the certificates thereof to be delivered to Landlord by Tenant shall name Landlord as an additional insured and, at Landlord’s request, shall also name any Superior Lessors or Superior Mortgagees as additional insureds, and the following phrase must be typed on the certificate of insurance: “Hartz Mountain Industries, Inc., and its respective subsidiaries, affiliates, associates, joint ventures, and partnerships, are hereby named as additional insureds as their interests may appear (and if Landlord has so requested, Tenant shall include any Superior Lessors and Superior Mortgagees as additional insured(s)). It is intended for this insurance to be primary and non-contributing.” Tenant shall give Landlord at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice that any such policy is being canceled or replaced.

13.03. Tenant shall not do, permit or suffer to be done any act, matter, thing or failure to act in respect of the Demised Premises or use or occupy the Demised Premises or conduct or operate Tenant’s business in any manner objectionable to any insurance company or companies whereby the fire insurance or any other insurance then in effect in respect to the Land and Building or any part thereof shall become void or suspended or whereby any premiums in respect of insurance maintained by Landlord shall be materially higher than those which would normally have been in effect for the occupancy contemplated under the Permitted Uses. In case of a breach of the provisions of this Section 13.03, in addition to all other rights and remedies of Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall (a) indemnify Landlord and the Superior Lessors and hold Landlord and the Superior Lessors harmless from and against any loss which would have been covered by insurance which shall have become void or suspended because of such breach by Tenant and (b) pay to Landlord any and all increases of premiums on any insurance, including, without limitation, rent insurance, resulting from any such breach.

13.04. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and all Superior Lessors and its and their respective partners, joint venturers, directors, officers, agents, servants and employees from and against any and all claims arising from or in connection with (a) the conduct or management of the Demised Premises or of any business therein, or any work or thing whatsoever done, or any condition created (other than by Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors) in the Demised Premises during the Term or during the period of time, if any, prior to the Commencement Date that Tenant may have been given access to the Demised Premises; (b) any act, omission or negligence of Tenant or any of its subtenants or licensees or its or their partners, joint venturers, directors, officers, agents, employees or contractors; (c) any accident, injury or

 

22


damage whatever (unless caused solely by the negligence of Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors) occurring in the Demised Premises; and (d) any breach or default by Tenant in the full and prompt payment and performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; together with all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in or in connection with each such claim or action or proceeding brought thereon, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. In case any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord and/or any Superior Lessor and/or its or their partners, joint venturers, directors, officers, agents and/or employees in connection with conduct or management of the Demised Premises or by reason of any claim referred to above, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord or such Superior Lessor, shall, at Tenant’s cost and expense, resist and defend such action or proceeding by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

13.05. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable or responsible for, and each party releases the other from, all liability and responsibility to the other and any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, by way of subrogation or otherwise, for any injury, loss or damage to any person or property in or around the Demised Premises or to a party’s business irrespective of the cause of such injury, loss or damage, and each of Landlord and Tenant shall require its respective insurers to include in all of their insurance policies which could give rise to a right of subrogation against the other a clause or endorsement whereby the insurer waives any rights of subrogation against the other or permits the insured, prior to any loss, to agree with a third party to waive any claim it may have against said third party without invalidating the coverage under the insurance policy.

13.06. Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless Tenant and its partners, joint venturers, directors, officers, agents, servants and employees from and against any and all claims arising from or in connection with (a) any act, omission or negligence of Landlord or its partners, joint venturers, directors, officers, agents, employees with respect to management of the Development Common Areas; and (b) any breach or default by Landlord in the full and prompt payment and performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease; together with all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in or in connection with each such claim or action or proceeding brought thereon, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. In case any action or proceeding is brought against Tenant and/or its partners, joint venturers, directors, officers, agents and/or employees in connection with foregoing management of the Development Common Areas or by reason of any claim referred to above, Landlord, upon notice from Tenant, shall, at Landlord’s cost and expense, resist and defend such action or proceeding by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.

ARTICLE 14 - RULES AND REGULATIONS

14.01. Tenant and its employees and agents shall faithfully observe and comply with the Rules and Regulations and such reasonable changes therein (whether by modification, elimination or addition) as Landlord at any time or times hereafter may make and notify Tenant in writing, which in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, shall be necessary for the reputation, safety, care or appearance of the Land and Building, or the preservation of good order therein, or the operation or maintenance of the Building or its equipment and fixtures, and which do not unreasonably affect the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Demised Premises; provided, however, that in case of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Lease and any of the Rules and

 

23


Regulations, the provisions of this Lease shall control. Nothing in this Lease contained shall be construed to impose upon Landlord any duty or obligations to enforce the Rules and Regulations against any other tenant or any employees or agents of any other tenant, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of the Rules and Regulations by any other tenant or its employees, agents, invitees or licensees, provided however, the Rules and Regulations shall be reasonable, uniformly applied and enforced and shall not conflict with the terms of this Lease. Landlord shall not discriminate against Tenant in the enactment or enforcement of any of the Rules and Regulations. In the event Landlord shall desire to change any of the Rules and Regulations, Landlord in each instance shall provide Tenant with prior written notice of such changes, and in no event shall any such changes reduce or diminish any of Tenant’s rights or Landlord’s obligations under the Lease in any material manner. So long as Tenant and its subtenants and assigns shall be the sole occupants of the Building, any of the Rules and Regulations which are designed to control the interactions between occupants in a multi-tenanted building and/or to minimize conflicts between occupants in a multi-tenanted building shall not be applicable to Tenant and its subtenants and assigns, and Tenant shall have the sole right and authority to promulgate rules governing the interactions between itself and its subtenants and assigns provided same shall not conflict in any manner with the terms of this Lease.

ARTICLE 15 - ALTERATIONS AND SIGNS

15.01. Tenant shall not make any alterations or additions to the Demised Premises, or make any holes or cuts in the walls, ceilings, roofs, or floors thereof, or change the exterior color or architectural treatment of the Demised Premises, without on each occasion first obtaining the consent of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent for alterations that are non-structural in nature and do not involve or affect the mechanical systems of the Demised Premises or Building and having a cost of less than $[***]. Tenant shall submit to Landlord plans and specifications for such work at the time Landlord’s consent is sought. Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand the actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket cost and expense of Landlord in (a) reviewing said plans and specifications and (b) inspecting the alterations to determine whether the same are being performed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements, including, without limitation, the actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket fees of any architect or engineer employed by Landlord for such purpose. Before proceeding with any permitted alteration which will cost more than $[***] (exclusive of the costs of decorating work and items constituting Tenant’s Property), as estimated by a reputable contractor reasonably designated by Landlord, Tenant shall obtain and deliver to Landlord either (i) a performance bond and a labor and materials payment bond (issued by a corporate surety licensed to do business in New Jersey), each in an amount equal to [***]% of such estimated cost and in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, or (ii) such other security as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall fully and promptly comply with and observe the reasonable Rules and Regulations then in force and of which notice has been provided to Tenant in respect of the making of alterations. Any review or approval by Landlord of any plans and/or specifications with respect to any alterations is solely for Landlord’s benefit, and without any representation or warranty whatsoever to Tenant in respect to the adequacy, correctness or efficiency thereof or otherwise.

 

24


15.02. Tenant shall obtain all necessary governmental permits and certificates for the commencement and prosecution of permitted alterations and for final approval thereof upon completion, and shall cause alterations to be performed in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements. Alterations shall be diligently performed in a good and workmanlike manner, using new materials and equipment at least equal in quality and class to the better of (a) the original installations of the Building, or (b) the then standards for the Building established by Landlord. Alterations shall be performed by contractors first approved by Landlord (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that any alterations in or to the mechanical, electrical, sanitary, heating, ventilating, air conditioning or other systems of the Building shall be performed only by the contractor(s) designated by Landlord. Alterations shall be made in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with or delay and as not to impose any additional material expense upon Landlord in the construction, maintenance, repair or operation of the Building; and if any such additional expense shall be incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s making of any alterations, Tenant shall pay any such additional expense upon demand. Throughout the making of alterations, Tenant shall carry, or cause to be carried, workmen’s compensation insurance in statutory limits and general liability insurance, with completed operation endorsement, for any occurrence in or about the Building, under which Landlord and its managing agent and any Superior Lessor whose name and address shall previously have been furnished to Tenant shall be named as parties insured, in such limits as Landlord may reasonably require, with insurers reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with reasonably satisfactory evidence that such insurance is in effect at or before the commencement of alterations and, on request, at reasonable intervals thereafter during the making of alterations.

15.03. Tenant shall not place any signs on the roof, exterior walls or grounds of the Demised Premises without first obtaining Landlord’s written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided however that Landlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to Tenant’s request to place signage on the exterior walls of the Building or the grounds of the Demised Premises in compliance with Legal Requirements. In placing any signs on or about the Demised Premises, Tenant shall, at its expense, comply with all applicable legal requirements and obtain all required permits and/or licenses.

25


Tenant and may be removed by Tenant at any time during the Term; provided that if any of the Tenant’s Property is removed, Tenant shall repair or pay the cost of repairing any damage to the Demised Premises, the Building or the Common Areas resulting from the installation and/or removal thereof. Any equipment or other property for which Landlord shall have granted any allowance or credit to Tenant shall not be deemed to have been installed by or for the account of Tenant without expense to Landlord, shall not be considered as the Tenant’s Property and shall be deemed the property of Landlord.

Core hole shall be drilled to a depth equal to the bolt depth, but not less than 2” deep. Remove the cored concrete with the anchor bolt from the hole. Clean all concrete slurry and debris from area to be patched. Fill the cored hole with a polymer-modified non-shrink mortar, specifically SikaTop 122 or Master Builders Ceilcote 648 CP, or equivalent, and finish to match surrounding concrete surface.

ARTICLE 17 - REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE

17.01. Tenant shall, throughout the Term, take good care of the Demised Premises, the fixtures and appurtenances therein, and shall not do, suffer, or permit any waste with respect thereto.

In the event Tenant fails to furnish such copies within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s written request upon at least one Business Days advance notice (which in this circumstance may be made by telephonic device), Landlord shall have the right, at Tenant’s cost and expense, to conduct such inspections or surveys as may be required to determine whether or not Tenant is in compliance with this Article and to have any work required of Tenant that is not performed within applicable notice and cure periods to be performed at Tenant’s cost and expense upon no less than ten (10) Business Days’ notice to Tenant.

Any other repairs in or to the Building and the facilities and systems thereof for which Tenant is responsible may, at Landlord’s option, be performed by Landlord upon at least ten (10) Business Days advance notice at Tenant’s expense; but Landlord may, at its option, before commencing any such work or at any time thereafter, require Tenant to furnish to Landlord such security, in form (including, without limitation, a bond issued by a corporate surety licensed to do business in New Jersey) and amount, as Landlord shall deem necessary to assure the payment for such work by Tenant. Prior to any entry by Landlord upon the Demised Premises as provided in this section, Landlord shall give Tenant reasonable advance notice (stating the date and approximate time of such entry) and afford Tenant the opportunity to have a representative of Tenant accompany Landlord or its representative during such entry, If, on the date and approximate time of such entry as provided in such notice, Tenant shall not have made a representative of Tenant available to accompany Landlord or its representative during such entry, Landlord may lawfully enter upon the Demised Premises on the date and at the approximate time set forth in such notice without the need for such representative of Tenant to be present. The foregoing reasonable advance notice shall be the time period and manner of notice stated in this section, if so stated.

17.02. So long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord shall make all structural repairs and replacements, including, specifically, the roof and roof membrane (except as hereinabove provided in Section 17.01 and as provided in Rider R9) and the cost thereof shall be included in Operating Expenses, for which

 

27


Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Fraction. Landlord shall keep and maintain the Common Areas and shall procure landscaping and snow removal services for the Building and the cost thereof shall be an Additional Charge.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord at its sole cost and expense shall be responsible for structural repairs and/or structural replacements to the foundations, pilings if any, structural steel, structural walls and structural support to the roof, unless the need for such repairs or replacements is due to the act of Tenant or any occupant of the Demised Premises or its or their agents, employees, or contractors.

17.03. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, nor shall Tenant’s covenants and obligations under this Lease be reduced or abated in any manner whatsoever, by reason of any inconvenience, annoyance, interruption or injury to business arising from Landlord’s doing any repairs, maintenance, or changes which Landlord is required or permitted by this Lease, or required by Law, to make in or to any portion of the Building. Without limiting the foregoing (i) Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant, its subtenants or assigns or any of the business operations at the Demised Premises while performing any such repairs, maintenance, or changes, and (ii) Landlord shall conduct any work in connection therewith in such a manner as shall be required to minimize any such interference to the extent commercially practicable (but without any obligation to perform same during overtime hours).

17.04. Tenant shall not permit or suffer the overloading of the floors of the Demised Premises beyond 250 pounds per square foot, or lesser amount as may be applicable to any mezzanine area.

ARTICLE 18 - UTILITY CHARGES

18.01. Tenant shall pay all charges for gas, water, sewer, electricity, heat or other utility or service supplied to the Demised Premises as measured by meters relating to Tenant’s use, and the cost of repair, maintenance, replacement, and reading of any meters measuring Tenant’s consumption thereof. If any utilities or services are not separately metered or assessed or are only partially separately metered or assessed and are used in common with other tenants or occupants of the Building, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s written notice accompanied by appropriate invoices, Tenant’s proportionate share of such charges or utilities and/or services, which shall be such charges multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the Floor Space of the Demised Premises and the denominator of which shall be the Floor Space of all tenants and occupants of the Building using such utilities and/or services. In the event Landlord determines that Tenant’s utilization of any such service exceeds the fraction referred to above, Tenant’s proportionate share with respect to such service shall, at Landlord’s option, mean the percentage of any such service (but not less than the fraction referred to above) which Landlord reasonably estimates as Tenant’s utilization. Tenant expressly agrees that Landlord shall not be responsible for the failure of supply to Tenant of any of the aforesaid, or any other utility service. Landlord shall not be responsible for any public or private telephone service to be installed in the space, particularly conduit if required. If Landlord, or its designee is permitted by law to provide electric energy to the Demised Premises by re-registering meters or otherwise and to collect any

 

28


charges for electric energy, Landlord or its designee shall have the exclusive right to do so, in which event Tenant shall pay to Landlord or its designee upon receipt of bills therefor charges for electric energy provided the rates for such electric energy shall not be more than the rates Tenant would be charged for electric energy if furnished directly to Tenant by the public utility or Tenant’s electricity supplier which would otherwise have furnished electric energy. Tenant acknowledges that as of the date hereof it will pay Landlord [***]% of the gas and electric meters serving the Demised Premises, and [***]% of the water charges for the Building. There shall be no administrative fee charged with respect to meter reading.

18.02. Tenant’s use of electric energy in the Demised Premises shall not at any time exceed the capacity of any of the electrical conductors and equipment in or otherwise serving the Demised Premises. In order to insure that such capacity is not exceeded and to avert possible adverse effect upon the Building’s electric service, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior consent in each instance (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) make any alteration or addition to the electric system of the Demised Premises existing on the Commencement Date. Should Landlord grant such consent, all additional risers or other equipment required therefor shall be provided by Landlord and the actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket cost thereof shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand.

18.03. At Landlord’s option, Landlord or Landlord’s designee shall have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to install or cause to be installed solar panels or other energy generating equipment on the Building (including but not limited to the roof thereof) for purposes of furnishing in whole or in part electric energy to the Building (herein, an “Energy System”). Tenant shall provide Landlord or its designee with access to the Demised Premises for the installation, maintenance and repair of such Energy System as Landlord or its designee may require so long as such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations in the Building of Tenant or its subtenants and assigns, if any. Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant, its subtenants or assigns or any of the business operations at the Demised Premises while installing the Energy System, if any, and shall conduct any work in connection therewith in such a manner as shall be required to minimize any such interference to the extent commercially practicable. Tenant may require that Landlord schedule any work with Tenant in advance and conduct such work on such dates and/or at such times as Tenant shall reasonably require to minimize any disturbance to or interference with the business operations in the Demised Premises. If installed, such Energy System shall (either itself or together with such service provided by a public utility provider designated by Tenant) meet the minimum service provided to the Building immediately prior to the installation of such Energy System. In the event Landlord elects to install or cause such Energy System to be installed, Tenant shall purchase electric energy for the Demised Premises from Landlord or its designee and Tenant shall pay the charges established by Landlord or its designee for such service from time to time, but not in excess of the rates payable by Tenant from a third party public utility provider having service available to the Building. Landlord also reserves the right to discontinue furnishing electric energy at any time whether or not Tenant is in default of this Lease upon not less than sixty (60) days’ notice to Tenant. Prior to any entry by Landlord upon the Demised Premises as provided in this section, Landlord shall give Tenant reasonable advance notice (stating the date and approximate time of such entry) and afford Tenant the opportunity to have a representative of Tenant accompany Landlord or its representative during such entry, If, on the date and approximate time of such entry as provided in such notice, Tenant shall not have made a representative of Tenant available to accompany Landlord or its

 

29


representative during such entry, Landlord may lawfully enter upon the Demised Premises on the date and at the approximate time set forth in such notice without the need for such representative of Tenant to be present. The foregoing reasonable advance notice shall be the time period and manner of notice stated in this section, if so stated.

18.04. Subject to the provisions of Article 15 of the Lease, Tenant shall have the right to use and access a portion of the roof of the Building to install and maintain one or more HVAC units and/or satellite antennas, provided that any such satellite antennas shall be used solely in connection with the business operations being performed in the Demised Premises and, provided Landlord has delivered to Tenant a copy of any applicable roof warranty, any such installation shall be performed in a manner which does not impact Landlord’s roof warranty, if any, in any way. In the event Tenant has installed its approved roof installations, the Landlord’s plans and specifications for installation of any Energy System on the roof of the Building shall be done in a manner which accommodates Tenant’s installations.

ARTICLE 19 - ACCESS, CHANGES AND NAME

19.01. Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter and/or pass through the Demised Premises at any reasonable time or times (a) to examine the Demised Premises and to show them to actual and prospective Superior Lessors, Superior Mortgagees, or prospective purchasers of the Building, and (b) to make such repairs, alterations, additions and improvements in or to the Demised Premises and/or in or to the Building or its facilities and equipment as Landlord is required or desires to make, provided that (i) Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant or its assigns or any of the business operations at the Demised Premises which performing any such repairs, alterations, additions and/or improvements, (ii) Landlord shall conduct any work in connection therewith in such a manner as shall be required to minimize interference to the extent commercially practicable (without obligation to perform such work on an overtime basis), and (iii) Tenant may reasonably require that Landlord schedule any work with Tenant in advance and conduct such work on such dates and/or at such times as Tenant shall reasonably require (during regular hours) to minimize disturbance to or interference with the business operations in Demised Premises. Landlord shall be allowed to take all materials into and upon the Demised Premises that may be required in connection therewith, without any liability to Tenant and without any reduction of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. During the period of nine (9) months prior to the Expiration Date, Landlord and its agents may exhibit the Demised Premises to prospective tenants. Prior to any entry by Landlord upon the Demised Premises as provided in this section, Landlord shall give Tenant reasonable advance notice (stating the date and approximate time of such entry) and afford Tenant the opportunity to have a representative of Tenant accompany Landlord or its representative during such entry. If, on the date and approximate time of such entry as provided in such notice, Tenant shall not have made a representative of Tenant available to accompany Landlord or its representative during such entry, Landlord may lawfully enter upon the Demised Premises on the date and at the approximate time set forth in such notice without the need for such representative of Tenant to be present. The foregoing reasonable advance notice shall be the time period and manner of notice stated in this section, if so stated.

19.02. If at any time any windows of the Demised Premises are temporarily darkened or obstructed by reason of any repairs, improvements, maintenance and/or cleaning in or about the Building, or if any part of the Building or the Common Areas, other than the Demised Premises, is temporarily or permanently closed or inoperable, the same shall not be deemed a constructive eviction and shall not result in any reduction or diminution of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

19.03. Landlord reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to make such changes, alterations, additions and improvements in or to the Building and the fixtures and equipment thereof as Landlord shall deem necessary or desirable, provided same shall not unreasonably block or interfere with Tenant’s means of ingress and egress to and from the Demised Premises or otherwise adversely impact in any material manner upon the use and enjoyment of the Demised Premises by Tenant and its successors and/or assigns, if any.

19.04. Upon prior notice, Landlord reserves the right to change the address of the Building at any time.

ARTICLE 20 - MECHANICS’ LIENS AND OTHER LIENS

20.01. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed to imply any consent of Landlord to subject Landlord’s interest or estate to any liability under any mechanic’s, construction or other lien law. If any lien or any notice of intention (to file a lien), lis pendens, or notice of unpaid balance and right to file lien is filed against the Land, the Building, or any part thereof, or the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, for any work, labor, services or materials claimed to have been performed or furnished for or on behalf of Tenant, or anyone holding any part of the Demised Premises through or under Tenant, Tenant shall cause the same to be canceled and discharged of record by payment, bond or order of a court of competent jurisdiction within thirty (30) days after notice by Landlord to Tenant.

ARTICLE 21 - NON-LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

21.01. Neither Landlord nor any partner, joint venturer, director, officer, agent, servant or employee of Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for any loss, injury or damage to Tenant or to any other Person, or to its or their property, irrespective of the cause of such injury, damage or loss, unless caused by or resulting from the negligence of Landlord, its agents, servants or employees in the operation or maintenance of the Land or Building without contributory negligence on the part of Tenant or any of its subtenants or licensees or its or their employees, agents or contractors. Further, neither Landlord nor any partner, joint venturer, director, officer, agent, servant or employee of Landlord shall be liable (a) for any such damage caused by other tenants or Persons in, upon or about the Land or Building, or caused by operations in construction of any private, public or quasi-public work; or (b) even if negligent, for consequential damages arising out of any loss of use of the Demised Premises or any equipment or facilities therein by Tenant or any Person claiming through or under Tenant.

21.02. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Tenant shall look solely to the estate and property of Landlord in and to the Land and Building (or the proceeds thereof) in the event of any claim against Landlord arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant or Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises or the Common Areas, and Tenant agrees that the liability of Landlord arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the relationship

 

31


of Landlord and Tenant or Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises or the Common Areas shall be limited to such estate and property of Landlord (or proceeds). No other properties or assets of Landlord or any partner, joint venturer, director, officer, agent, servant or employee of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any judgment (or other judicial process) or for the satisfaction of any other remedy of Tenant arising out of, or in connection with, this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant or Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises or the Common Areas and if Tenant shall acquire a lien on or interest in any other properties or assets by judgment or otherwise, Tenant shall promptly release such lien on or interest in such other properties and assets by executing, acknowledging and delivering to Landlord an instrument to that effect prepared by Landlord’s attorneys.

ARTICLE 22 - DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

22.01. If the Building or the Demised Premises shall be partially or totally damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (and if this Lease shall not be terminated as in this Article 22 hereinafter provided), Landlord shall repair the damage and restore and rebuild the Building and/or the Demised Premises (except for the Tenant’s Property) with reasonable dispatch after notice to it of the damage or destruction and the collection of the insurance proceeds attributable to such damage.

22.02. Subject to the provisions of Section 22.05, if all or part of the Demised Premises shall be damaged or destroyed or rendered completely or partially untenantable on account of fire or other casualty, the Rent shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, in the proportion that the untenantable area of the Demised Premises bears to the total area of the Demised Premises (to the extent of rent insurance proceeds received by Landlord from insurance maintained by Landlord), for the period from the date of the damage or destruction to (a) the date the damage to the Demised Premises shall be substantially repaired, or (b) if the Building and not the Demised Premises is so damaged or destroyed, the date on which the Demised Premises shall be made tenantable; provided, however, should Tenant reoccupy a portion of the Demised Premises during the period the repair or restoration work is taking place and prior to the date that the Demised Premises are substantially repaired or made tenantable the Rent allocable to such reoccupied portion, based upon the proportion which the area of the reoccupied portion of the Demised Premises bears to the total area of the Demised Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from the date of such occupancy.

22.03. If (a) the Building or the Demised Premises shall be totally damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, or (b) the Demised Premises shall be so damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty that its repair or restoration requires the expenditure, as estimated by a reputable contractor or architect designated by Landlord and acceptable to Tenant, of more than [***] (or [***] if such casualty occurs during the last year of the Term) of the full insurable value of the Demised Premises immediately prior to the casualty, or (c) the Demised Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty and either the loss shall not be covered by Landlord’s or Tenant’s insurance or the net insurance proceeds (after deducting all expenses in connection with obtaining such proceeds) shall, in the estimation of a reputable contractor or architect designated by Landlord and acceptable to Tenant be insufficient to pay for the repair or restoration work, then in either such case Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice to such effect within ninety (90) days after the date of the fire or other casualty.

 

32


Tenant’s acceptance of such architect or contractor shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and acceptance shall be deemed if no response is received within five (5) Business Days of Landlord’s notice. Upon request by Tenant, Landlord shall advise Tenant of Landlord’s reasonably estimated completion date of such restoration (the “Landlord’s Advise”) and if such date is more than twelve (12) months following the date of casualty, provided Tenant’s grossly negligent or intentional acts were not cause of such casualty, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon fifteen (15) days prior notice to Landlord, given within fifteen (15) days of Landlord’s Advise. In addition, in the event the Demised Premises are not substantially restored on or before the later of the estimated date specified in the Landlord’s Advise, if any, or twelve (12) months following the date of casualty, provided Tenant’s grossly negligent or intentional acts were not the cause of such casualty, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Landlord, if given within the later of thirty (30) days following the estimated date specified in Landlord’s Advise, or thirteen (13) months following the date of casualty, provided Tenant’s grossly negligent or intentional acts were not the cause of such casualty.

22.04. Except as provided in the preceding section, Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease and no damages, compensation or claim shall be payable by Landlord for inconvenience, loss of business or annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Demised Premises or of the Building pursuant to this Article 22. Landlord shall use its best efforts to make such repair or restoration promptly and in such manner as to not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Demised Premises, but Landlord shall not be required to do such repair or restoration work except during Business Hours on Business Days.

22.05. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Article 22, if by reason of some act or omission on the part of Tenant or any of its subtenants or its or their partners, directors, officers, servants, employees, agents or contractors, Landlord or any Superior Lessor or any Superior Mortgagee shall be unable to collect all of the insurance proceeds (including, without limitation, rent insurance proceeds) applicable to damage or destruction of the Demised Premises or of the Building by fire or other casualty, then, without prejudice to any other remedies which may be available against Tenant, there shall be no abatement or reduction of the Rent. Further, nothing contained in this Article 21 shall relieve Tenant from any liability that may exist as a result of any damage or destruction by fire or other casualty.

22.06. Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind on the Tenant’s Property and, except as provided by law or by reason of Landlord’s breach of any of its obligations hereunder, shall not be obligated to repair any damage to or replace the Tenant’s Property.

22.07. The provisions of this Article 22 shall be deemed an express agreement governing any case of damage or destruction of the Building by fire or other casualty, and any law providing for such a contingency in the absence of an express agreement, now or hereafter in force, shall have no application in such case.

 

33


ARTICLE 23 - EMINENT DOMAIN

23.01. If the whole of the Demised Premises shall be taken by any public or quasi-public authority under the power of condemnation, eminent domain or expropriation, or in the event of conveyance of the whole of the Demised Premises in lieu thereof, this Lease shall terminate as of the day possession shall be taken by such authority. If [***]% or less of the Floor Space of the Demised Premises shall be so taken or conveyed, this Lease shall terminate only in respect of the part so taken or conveyed as of the day possession shall be taken by such authority. Except as otherwise provided herein, if more than [***]% of the Floor Space of the Demised Premises shall be so taken or conveyed, this Lease shall terminate only in respect of the part so taken or conveyed as of the day possession shall be taken by such authority, but either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon notice given to the other party within 30 days after such taking possession. If more than [***]% of the Floor Space of the Building shall be so taken or conveyed, Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease as of the day possession shall be taken. Tenant shall also have the right to so terminate the Lease if commercially reasonable access to the Building shall be so taken or conveyed, or if any parking or truck court areas required for Tenant to conduct its normal business operations at the Demised Premises shall be so taken or conveyed, or if Tenant shall otherwise determine in its reasonable discretion that it is unable to conduct its business operations at the Demised Premises from a single location or otherwise in a cost effective manner at the Demised Premises as a result of any such taking or conveyance. If this Lease shall continue in effect as to any portion of the Demised Premises not so taken or conveyed, the Rent shall be computed as of the day possession shall be taken on the basis of the remaining Floor Space of the Building. Except as specifically provided herein, in the event of any such taking or conveyance there shall be no reduction in Rent. If this Lease shall continue in effect, Landlord shall, at its expense, but shall be obligated only to the extent of the net award or other compensation (after deducting all expenses in connection with obtaining same) available to Landlord for the improvements taken or conveyed (excluding any award or other compensation for land or for the unexpired portion of the term of any Superior Lease), promptly make all necessary alterations so as to constitute the remaining Building a complete architectural and tenantable unit, except for the Tenants’ property, and Tenant shall make all alterations or replacements to the Tenant’s Property and decorations in the Demised Premises. All awards and compensation for any taking or conveyance, whether for the whole or a part of the Demised Premises, the Land or Building, shall be the property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to any and all such awards and compensation, including, without limitation, any award or compensation for the value of the unexpired portion of the Term. Tenant shall be entitled to claim, prove and receive in the condemnation proceeding such award or compensation as may be allowed for the Tenant’s property and for loss of business, good will, and depreciation or injury to and cost of removal of the Tenant’s property, but only if such award or compensation shall be made by the condemning authority in addition to, and shall not result in a reduction of, the award or compensation made by it to Landlord.

23.02. If the temporary use or occupancy of all or any part of the Demised Premises shall be taken during the Term, Tenant shall be entitled, except as hereinafter set forth, to receive that portion of the award or payment for such taking which represents compensation for the use and occupancy of the Demised Premises, for the taking of the Tenant’s Property and for moving expenses, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive that portion which represents reimbursement for the cost of restoration of the Demised Premises. This Lease shall be and remain unaffected by such taking and Tenant shall continue to be responsible for all of its obligations hereunder insofar as such obligations are not affected by such taking and shall continue to pay the Rent in full when due. If the period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond the Expiration Date, that part of the award or payment which represents compensation for the use and occupancy of the

 

34


Demised Premises (or a part thereof) shall be divided between Landlord and Tenant so that Tenant shall receive (except as otherwise provided below) so much thereof as represents compensation for the period up to and including the Expiration Date and Landlord shall receive so much thereof as represents compensation for the period after the Expiration Date. All monies to be paid to Tenant as, or as part of, an award or payment for temporary use and occupancy for a period beyond the date to which the Rent has been paid shall be received, held and applied by the first Superior Mortgagee (or if there is no Superior Mortgagee, by Landlord as a trust fund) for payment of the Rent becoming due hereunder.

ARTICLE 24 - SURRENDER

24.01. On the Expiration Date, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, or upon any re-entry by Landlord upon the Demised Premises, Tenant shall quit and surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord “broom-clean” and in good order, condition and repair, except for ordinary wear and tear and such damage or destruction as Landlord is required to repair or restore under this Lease, and Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s property therefrom except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease.

24.02. If Tenant remains in possession of the Demised Premises after the expiration of the Term, Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying the Demised Premises at the sufferance of Landlord subject to all of the provisions of this Lease, except that the monthly Fixed Rent shall be twice the Fixed Rent in effect during the last month of the Term, except the holdover rate for the first month if Landlord is notified and if paid prior thereto shall be [***]% of such Fixed Rent.

24.03. No act or thing done by Landlord or its agents shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Demised Premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord.

ARTICLE 25 - CONDITIONS OF LIMITATION

25.01. This Lease is subject to the limitation that whenever Tenant or any Guarantor (a) shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (b) shall commence a voluntary case or have entered against it an order for relief under any chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) or any similar order or decree under any federal or state law, now in existence, or hereafter enacted having the same general purpose, and such order or decree shall have not been stayed or vacated within 90 days after entry, or (c) shall cause, suffer, permit or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, administrator, conservator, sequestrator, liquidator or similar official in any federal, state or foreign judicial or nonjudicial proceeding, to hold, administer and/or liquidate all or substantially all of its assets, and such appointment shall not have been revoked, terminated, stayed or vacated and such official discharged of his duties within 90 days of his appointment then Landlord, at any time after the occurrence of any such event, may give Tenant a notice of intention to end the Term at the expiration of five (5) days from the date of service of such notice of intention, and upon the expiration of said five (5) day period, whether or not the Term shall theretofore have commenced, this Lease shall terminate with the same effect as if that day were the expiration date of this Lease, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided in Article 27.

 

35


25.02. This Lease is subject to the further limitations that: (a) if Tenant shall default in the payment of any Rent and shall not cure such default within ten (10) days of such notice of default, or (b) if Tenant shall, whether by action or inaction, be in default of any of its obligations under this Lease (other than a default in the payment of Rent) and such default shall continue and not be remedied within thirty (30) days after Landlord shall have given to Tenant a notice specifying the same, or, in the case of a default which cannot with due diligence be cured within a period of thirty (30) days and the continuance of which for the period required for cure will not subject Landlord or any Superior Lessor or prosecution for a crime or offense (as more particularly described in Section 12.02) or termination of any Superior Lease or foreclosure of any Superior Mortgage, if Tenant shall not, (i) within said thirty (30) day period advise Landlord of Tenant’s intention to take all steps necessary to remedy such default, (ii) duly commence within said thirty (30) day period, and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all steps necessary to remedy the default, and (iii) complete such remedy within a reasonable time after the date of said notice by Landlord, or (c) if any event shall occur or any contingency shall arise whereby this Lease would, by operation of law or otherwise, devolve upon or pass to any person, firm or corporation other than Tenant, except as expressly permitted by Article 11, or (d) if Tenant shall abandon the Demised Premises, then in any of said cases Landlord may give to Tenant a notice of intention to end the Term at the expiration of five (5) days from the date of the service of such notice of intention, and upon the expiration of said five (5) days, whether or not the Term shall theretofore have commenced, this Lease shall terminate with the same effect as if that day were the expiration date of this Lease, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided in Article 27.

ARTICLE 26 - RE-ENTRY BY LANDLORD

26.01. If Tenant shall default in the payment of any Rent, or if this Lease shall terminate as provided in Article 25, Landlord or Landlord’s agents and employees may immediately or at any time thereafter re-enter the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor, and may repossess the same, and may remove any Person therefrom, to the end that Landlord may have, hold and enjoy the Demised Premises. The word “re-enter,” as used herein, is not restricted to its technical legal meaning. If this Lease is terminated under the provisions of Article 25, or if Landlord shall re-enter the Demised Premises under the provisions of this Article 26, or in the event of the termination of this Lease, or of re-entry, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceedings or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Tenant shall thereupon pay to Landlord the Rent payable up to the time of such termination of this Lease, or of such recovery of possession of the Demised Premises by Landlord, as the case may be, and shall also pay to Landlord damages as provided in Article 27.

26.02. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall also have the right of injunction. The special remedies to which Landlord may resort hereunder are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies to which Landlord may lawfully be entitled at any time and Landlord may invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not provided for herein.

 

36


26.03. If this Lease shall terminate under the provisions of Article 25, or if Landlord shall re-enter the Demised Premises under the provisions of this Article 26, or in the event of the termination of this Lease, or of re-entry, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to retain all monies, if any, paid by Tenant to Landlord, whether as Advance Rent, security or otherwise, but such monies shall be credited by Landlord against any Rent due from Tenant at the time of such termination or re-entry or, at Landlord’s option, against any damages payable by Tenant under Article 27 or pursuant to law with the excess, if any, promptly refunded to Tenant.

ARTICLE 27 - DAMAGES

27.01. If this Lease is terminated under the provisions of Article 25, or if Landlord shall re-enter the Demised Premises under the provisions of Article 26, or in the event of the termination of this Lease, or of re-entry, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Tenant shall pay as Additional Charges to Landlord, at the election of Landlord, either or any combination of:

(a) a sum which at the time of such termination of this Lease or at the time of any such re-entry by Landlord, as the case may be, represents the then value of the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate amount of the Rent which would have been payable by Tenant (conclusively presuming the average monthly Additional Charges to be the same as were the average monthly Additional Charges payable for the year, or if less than 365 days have then elapsed since the Commencement Date, the partial year, immediately preceding such termination or re-entry) for the period commencing with such earlier termination of this Lease or the date of any such re-entry, as the case may be, and ending with the Expiration Date, over (ii) the aggregate rental value of the Demised Premises for the same period; or

(b) sums equal to the Fixed Rent and the Additional Charges which would have been payable by Tenant had this Lease not so terminated, or had Landlord not so re-entered the Demised Premises, payable upon the due dates therefor specified herein following such termination or such re-entry and until the Expiration Date, provided, however, that if Landlord shall relet the Demised Premises during said period, Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from such reletting, such net rents to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents as and when received by Landlord from such reletting the expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this Lease or in re-entering the Demised Premises and in securing possession thereof, as well as the expenses of reletting, including, without limitation, altering and preparing the Demised Premises for new tenants, brokers’ commissions, legal fees, and all other expenses properly chargeable against the Demised Premises and the rental therefrom, it being understood that any such reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the period ending on the Expiration Date; but in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, nor shall Tenant be entitled in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this subdivision (b) to a credit in respect of any rents from a reletting, except to the extent that such net rents are actually received by Landlord. If the Demised Premises or any part thereof should be relet in combination with other space, then proper apportionment on a square foot basis shall be made of the rent received from such reletting and of the expenses of reletting.

 

37


If the Demised Premises or any part thereof should be re-let by Landlord before presentation of proof of such damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such re-letting shall, prima facie, be the fair and reasonable rental value for the Demised Premises, or part thereof, so re-let during the term of the re-letting. Landlord shall not be liable in any way whatsoever for its failure to re-let the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or if the Demised Premises or any part thereof are re-let, for its failure to collect the rent under such re-letting, and no such failure to re-let or failure to collect rent shall release or affect Tenant’s liability for damages or otherwise under this Lease. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to re-let the Demised Premises to mitigate Landlord’s damages. For the purposes hereof, “commercially reasonable efforts” shall mean the following actions, which actions shall create an irrebuttable presumption that Landlord has fulfilled such obligation: (i) Landlord shall include the availability of the Demised Premises in Landlord’s leasing flyers sent to brokers (if any), commencing following Landlord’s recovery of possession of the Demised Premises, and ending upon re-leasing of the Demised Premises; and (ii) Landlord shall include the availability of the Demised Premises on a website operated by Landlord or its affiliate (if any), commencing following Landlord’s recovery of possession of the Demised Premises, and ending upon re-leasing of the Demised Premises; and (iii) Landlord shall hold an “Open House” for the Demised Premises within forty-five (45) days of Landlord’s recovery of possession of the Demised Premises, or (iv) in lieu of (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph, upon Tenant’s written request, or at Landlord’s option, Landlord shall engage an independent commercial real estate broker to re-let the Demised Premises, the cost and expense of which shall be an element of Landlord’s damages in addition to any other damages recoverable pursuant to Section 29.01 hereof. Nothing contained herein shall require Landlord to re-let the Demised Premises prior to or with any preference over the leasing of any other similar premises of Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord, nor shall any rental of such other premises reduce the damages which Landlord would be entitled to recover from Tenant. In the event Tenant, on behalf of itself or any and all persons claiming through or under Tenant, attempts to raise a defense or assert any affirmative obligations on Landlord’s part to mitigate such damages or re-let the Demised Premises other than as provided herein, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord as a result of any such defense or assertion, including but not limited to Landlord’s attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith.

27.02. Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages or, any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord at any time and from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the Term would have expired if it had not been so terminated under the provisions of Article 24, or under any provision of law, or had Landlord not re-entered the Demised Premises. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or preclude recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on the part of Tenant. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain as damages by reason of the termination of this Lease or re-entry of the Demised Premises for the default of Tenant under this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time, whether or not such amount be greater than, equal to, or less than any of the sums referred to in Section 27.01.

27.03. In addition, if this Lease is terminated under the provisions of Article 25, or if Landlord shall re-enter the Demised Premises under the provisions of Article 26, Tenant covenants that: (a) the Demised Premises then shall be in the same condition as that in which Tenant has agreed to surrender the same to Landlord at the Expiration Date; (b) Tenant shall have performed

 

38


prior to any such termination any obligation of Tenant contained in this Lease for the making of any alteration or for restoring or rebuilding the Demised Premises or the Building, or any part thereof; and (c) for the breach of any covenant of Tenant set forth above in this Section 27.03, Landlord shall be entitled immediately, without notice or other action by Landlord, to recover, and Tenant shall pay, as and for liquidated damages therefor, the cost of performing such covenant (as estimated by an independent contractor selected by Landlord).

27.04. In addition to any other remedies Landlord may have under this Lease, and without reducing or adversely affecting any of Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Article 27, if any Rent or damages payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord are not paid within ten (10) Business Days of written demand therefor, the same shall bear interest at the Late Payment Rate or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less, from the due date thereof until paid, and the amounts of such interest shall be Additional Charges hereunder.

ARTICLE 28 - AFFIRMATIVE WAIVERS

28.01. Tenant, on behalf of itself and any and all persons claiming through or under Tenant, does hereby waive and surrender all right and privilege which it, they or any of them might have under or by reason of any present or future law, to redeem the Demised Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease after being dispossessed or ejected from the Demised Premises by process of law or under the terms of this Lease or after the termination of this Lease as provided in this Lease.

28.02. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either against the other on any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, and Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Demised Premises and use of the Common Areas including, without limitation, any claim of injury or damage, and any emergency and other statutory remedy with respect thereto. Tenant shall not interpose any counterclaim of any kind in any action or proceeding commenced by Landlord to recover possession of the Demised Premises.

ARTICLE 29 - NO WAIVERS

29.01. The failure of either party to insist in any one or more instances upon the strict performance of any one or more of the obligations of this Lease, or to exercise any election herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of the performance of such one or more obligations of this Lease or of the right to exercise such election, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent breach, act or omission. The receipt by Landlord of Fixed Rent or Additional Charges with knowledge of breach by Tenant of any obligation of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach.

ARTICLE 30 - CURING TENANT’S DEFAULTS

30.01. If Tenant shall default in the performance of any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Landlord, without thereby waiving such default, may (but shall not be obligated to) perform the same for the account and at the expense of Tenant, without notice in a case of emergency, and in any other case only if such default continues after the expiration of thirty (30) days from the date Landlord gives Tenant notice of the default beyond

36.01. Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has not made and is not making, and Tenant, in executing and delivering this Lease, is not relying upon, any warranties, representations, promises or statements, except to the extent that the same are expressly set forth in this Lease or in any other written agreement(s) which may be made between the parties concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Lease. All understandings and agreements heretofore had between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Lease are merged in this Lease and any other written agreement(s) made concurrently herewith, which alone fully and completely express the agreement of the parties and which are entered into after full investigation. Neither party has relied upon any statement or representation not embodied in this Lease or in any other written agreement(s) made concurrently herewith. The submission of this Lease to Tenant does not constitute by Landlord a reservation of, or an option to Tenant for, the Demised Premises, or an offer to lease on the terms set forth herein and this Lease shall become effective as a lease agreement only upon execution and delivery thereof by Landlord and Tenant.

36.02. No agreement shall be effective to change, modify, waive, release, discharge, terminate or effect an abandonment of this Lease, in whole or in part, unless such agreement is in writing, refers expressly to this Lease and is signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, modification, waiver, release, discharge, termination or effectuation of abandonment is sought.

36.03. If Tenant shall at any time request Landlord to sublet or let the Demised Premises for Tenant’s account, Landlord or its agent is authorized to receive keys for such purposes without releasing Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord of any liability for loss or damage to any of the Tenant’s Property in connection with such subletting or letting unless and to the extent resulting from the negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors.

36.04. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, the obligations under this Lease shall bind and benefit the successors and assigns of the parties hereto with the same effect as if mentioned in each instance where a party is named or referred to; provided, however, that (a) no violation of the provisions of Article 11 shall operate to vest any rights in any successor or assignee of Tenant and (b) the provisions of this Section 36.04 shall not be construed as modifying the conditions of limitation contained in Article 25.

 

42


36.05. Except for Tenant’s obligations to pay Rent, the time for Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, to perform any of its respective obligations hereunder shall be extended if and to the extent that the performance thereof shall be prevented due to any Unavoidable Delay. Except as expressly provided to the contrary, the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or excused, nor shall Landlord have any liability whatsoever to Tenant, because Landlord is unable to fulfill, or is delayed in fulfilling, any of its obligations under this Lease due to any of the matters set forth in the first sentence of this Section 36.05, or because of any failure or defect in the supply, quality or character of electricity, water or any other utility or service furnished to the Demised Premises for any reason beyond Landlord reasonable control.

36.06. Any liability for payments hereunder during the Term (including, without limitation, Additional Charges) shall survive the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease.

36.07. If Tenant shall request Landlord’s consent and Landlord shall fail or refuse to give such consent, Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages for any withholding by Landlord of its consent; Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action for specific performance or injunction, and such remedy shall be available only in those cases where Landlord has expressly agreed in writing not to unreasonably withhold or delay its consent or where as a matter of law Landlord may not unreasonably withhold its consent.

36.08. Intentionally omitted.

36.09. Tenant shall not exercise its rights under Article 15 or any other provision of this Lease in a manner which would create any work stoppage, picketing labor disruption or dispute or any interference with the business of Landlord or any tenant or occupant of the Building.

36.10. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of (a) any occurrence in or about the Demised Premises for which Landlord might be liable, (b) any fire or other casualty in the Demised Premises, (c) any damage to or defect in the Demised Premises, including the fixtures and equipment thereof, for the repair of which Landlord might be responsible, and (d) any damage to or defect in any part of the Building’s sanitary, electrical, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, elevator or other systems located in passing through the Demised Premises or any part thereof.

36.11. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey. Tenant and Landlord each hereby irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Lease may be brought in the Courts of the State of New Jersey, or the Federal District Court for the District of New Jersey, as Landlord or Tenant as plaintiff may elect. By execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant hereby irrevocably accepts and submits generally and unconditionally for itself and with respect to its properties, to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such action or proceeding, and hereby waives in the case of any such action or proceeding brought in the courts of the State of New Jersey, or Federal District Court for the District of New Jersey, any defenses based on jurisdiction, venue or forum non

coveniens. If any provision of this Lease shall, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected and shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law. The table of contents, captions, headings and titles in this Lease are solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect its interpretation. This Lease shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party causing this Lease to be drafted. If any words or phrases in this Lease shall have been stricken out or otherwise eliminated, whether or not any other words or phrases have been added, this Lease shall be construed as if the words or phrases so stricken out or otherwise eliminated were never included in this Lease and no implication or inference shall be drawn from the fact that said words or phrases were so stricken out or otherwise eliminated. Each covenant, agreement, obligation or other provision of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed, shall be deemed and construed as a separate and independent covenant of Tenant, not dependent on any other provision of this Lease. All terms and words used in this Lease, regardless of the number or gender in which they are used, shall be deemed to include any other number and any other gender as the context may require. Tenant specifically agrees to pay all of Landlord’s costs, charges and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with any document review requested by Tenant and upon submission of bills therefor. In the event Landlord permits Tenant to examine Landlord’s books and records with respect to any Additional Charge imposed under this Lease, such examination shall be conducted at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and shall be conditioned upon Tenant retaining an independent accounting firm for such purposes which shall not be compensated on any type of contingent fee basis with respect to such examination. Wherever in this Lease or by law Landlord is authorized to charge or recover costs and expenses for legal services or attorneys’ fees, same shall include, without limitation, the costs and expenses for in-house or staff legal counsel or outside counsel at rates not to exceed the reasonable and customary charges for any such services as would be imposed in an arms length third party agreement for such services.

36.12. Upon request made not more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a copy of its then current audited financial statement (provided however that an unaudited statement certified as true and complete by Tenant’s senior financial officer shall be acceptable in the event audited statements are not prepared for Tenant) which shall be employed by Landlord for purposes of financing the Demised Premises and not distributed otherwise without prior authorization of Tenant.

36.13. (i) Tenant represents that the NAICS code number applicable to Tenant’s operations is 424310 which, as of the Commencement Date, does not subject the Demised Premises to the requirements of the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act, N.J.S.A. 13:1K-6 et seq. (“ISRA”) and applicable regulations, N.J.A.C. 7:26B-1.1 et seq.

(ii) Not later than ninety (90) days prior to the Expiration Date, Tenant shall provide to Landlord an affidavit, executed by a duly authorized officer of Tenant, setting forth the following: (a) the NAICS code applicable to the operations performed at the Demised Premises; and (b) the type and amounts of any hazardous substances (as defined in N.J.A.C. 7:1E-1.6) treated, stored, disposed of, handled, or used in Tenant’s operations, except for such hazardous substances that may be ingredients in typical janitorial, maintenance, photography, warehouse, office and light assembly supplies so long as same are stored, handled and disposed of properly. During the term, Landlord reserves the right to require Tenant to execute an affidavit in similar form for any transaction which Landlord reasonably believes may trigger the requirements of ISRA, including without limitation, an assignment of this Lease, a subtenancy, or a sale or transfer of direct or indirect ownership or control of Tenant (a “Triggering Event”).

 

44


(iii) In the event Tenant, or the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“NJDEP”) determines that ISRA is applicable to a Triggering Event or Tenant’s cessation of operations at the Demised Premises, Tenant shall satisfy its obligations under ISRA prior to its lease termination date by securing an unconditional Response Action Outcome (or its equivalent in the event of a change of law) from a New Jersey Licensed Site Remediation Professional (“LSRP”) reasonably acceptable to Landlord with respect to the Demised Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the LSRP identifies areas of concern that are attributable solely to Landlord or other third parties (e.g., historic fill, railroad sidings, underground storage tanks, or such other areas of concern reasonably determined by the LSRP to have existed prior to the date Landlord delivers possession of the Demised Premises to Tenant) (“Landlord AOCs”), Landlord shall be solely responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for investigating and remediating such Landlord AOCs. Except for the Landlord AOCs for which Landlord is responsible, Tenant shall bear sole responsibility for any investigation and cleanup costs, fees, penalties, or damages associated with ISRA compliance, including any supplemental obligations which may arise from any audit of the LSRP, or his/her work, whether such audit is performed by the NJDEP, or the LSRP licensing board. This requirement shall survive the termination of the Lease. In the event that Tenant is unable to complete its ISRA compliance obligations by the date of its lease termination, Landlord shall continue to provide Tenant with reasonable access to the Demised Premises, provided that any work undertaken by Tenant shall be performed in such a manner as to minimize interference with Landlord’s or any other tenant’s use of the Demised Premises. However, Landlord reserves its rights to deem Tenant a holdover tenant in the event that Tenant’s ISRA compliance unreasonably restricts the Landlord’s use of the Demised Premises.

(iv) Both Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate with each other with respect to any ISRA compliance obligations with respect to the Demised Premises which shall include, but not limited to, the sharing of all correspondence, documents, data and reports, including sampling results submitted to or received from any LSRP, governmental agency or third party.

36.14. Tenant certifies that: (i) It is not acting, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of any person, group, entity, or nation named by any Executive Order or the United States Treasury Department as a terrorist, “Specially Designated National and Blocked Person,” or other banned or blocked person, entity, nation, or transaction pursuant to any law, order, rule, or regulation that is enforced or administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control; and (ii) It is not engaged in this transaction, directly or indirectly on behalf of, or instigating or facilitating this transaction, directly or indirectly on behalf of, any such person, group, entity, or nation. Tenant hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, risks, liabilities, and expenses (including attorney’s fees and costs) arising from or related to any breach of the foregoing certification.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have duly executed this Lease as of the day and year first above written.

RIDER TO LEASE DATED JUNE 5, 2018, BETWEEN HARTZ ENTERPRISE LLC, AS LANDLORD AND THE REALREAL, INC., AS TENANT.

R1. If any of the provisions of this Rider shall conflict with any of the provisions, printed or typewritten, of this Lease, such conflict shall resolve in every instance in favor of the provisions of this Rider.

R2. Option to Renew: Provided Tenant is not then in monetary or material non-monetary default of any of the terms and provisions of this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, and provided Tenant has not sublet more than [***] percent of the Demised Premises in the aggregate to one or more third-party subtenants (i.e., subtenants that are not parents, subsidiaries or affiliates of Tenant), Tenant shall have [***] to extend the Term of its lease of the Demised Premises, from the date upon which this Lease would otherwise expire, [***], upon the following terms and conditions:

a. If Tenant elects to exercise said option, it shall do so by giving notice of such election to Landlord on or before the date which is [***] before the beginning of the Extended Period. Tenant agrees that it shall have forever waived its right to exercise any such option if it shall fail for any reason whatsoever to give such notice to Landlord by the time provided herein for the giving of such notice, whether such failure is inadvertent or intentional, time being of the essence as to the exercise of each such option.

b. If Tenant elects to exercise said option, the Term shall be automatically extended for the Extended Period covered by the option so exercised without execution of an extension or renewal lease. Within [***] after request of either party following the effective exercise of such option, however, Landlord and Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to each other duplicate originals of an instrument in recordable form confirming that such option was effectively exercised, provided, however, that the parties’ failure to do so shall not invalidate Tenant’s exercise of such option.

c. The Extended Period shall be upon the same terms and conditions as are in effect immediately preceding the commencement of such Extended Period; provided, however, that Tenant shall have no right or option to extend the Term for any period of time beyond the expiration of the Extended Period and, provided further, that in the Extended Period the Fixed Rent during the first twelve (12) months of the Extended Period shall be at Fair Market Value (“FMV”). FMV shall be determined by mutual agreement of the parties. If the parties are unable to agree on the FMV within [***] of Tenant’s exercise of its option, the parties shall choose a licensed Real Estate Appraiser who shall determine the FMV. The cost of said Real Estate Appraiser shall be borne equally by the parties. If the parties are unable to agree on a licensed Real Estate Appraiser within [***] of Tenant’s exercise of its option, each party shall select one Appraiser to appraise the FMV. All appraisals shall be rendered within [***] of appointment of the respective Appraiser appointed under this paragraph. If the difference between the two appraisals is [***]% or less of the lower appraisal, then the FMV shall be the average of the two appraisals. If the difference between the two appraisals is greater than [***]% of the lower appraisal, the two Appraisers shall select a third licensed Real Estate Appraiser to appraise the FMV. The cost of the third appraisal shall be borne equally by the parties. If the two Appraisers

 

1


shall be unable to reach agreement upon the third Appraiser within [***] of Tenant’s exercise of its option, either party may contact the nearest office of the American Arbitration Associations (the “Association”) and request that the Association select an independent Appraiser to determine the FMV in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph R2. Upon the Association’s designation of such Appraiser, such Appraiser shall be deemed to be the third Appraiser for purposes of this Paragraph R2. Landlord and Tenant shall split evenly the fees and expenses of the Association in selecting the third Appraiser and shall each pay their own costs and expenses of working with the Association in connection with such selection. Upon such date as shall be designated by the third Appraiser by written notice to Landlord and Tenant (which date shall be no sooner than [***] of the delivery of such notice), Tenant’s Appraiser and Landlord’s Appraiser each shall submit to the third Appraiser its written determination of the FMV for the Demised Premises for the first year of the applicable Extended Term. If only one party’s Appraiser shall submit such a written determination by the date designated by the third Appraisers, such party’s Appraiser’s determination of the FMV shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties and shall be the Fixed Rent during the first year of the applicable Extended Period. If both parties’ Appraisers shall timely deliver their written determinations of the FMV for the Demised Premises for the first year of the applicable Extended Term to the third Appraiser, the third Appraiser shall select the determination which is closest to the third Appraiser’s own determination of the FMV for the Demised Premises for the first year of the applicable Extended Term, and such determination shall be the Fixed Rent for the Demised Premises during the first year of the applicable Extended Term. The third Appraiser must select one of the two submitted determinations; it may not select its own determination. The third Appraiser shall provide notice of its selection to Landlord and Tenant within [***] of its receipt of the last of the Appraisers’ determination. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the Fixed Rent for the first year of the Extended Period shall not be less than the Fixed Rent for the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Extended Period for which the Fixed Rent is being calculated and the Fixed Rent shall increase by [***] annually on each anniversary of the commencement of each Extended Period.

d. Any termination, expiration, cancellation or surrender of this Lease shall terminate any right or option for the Extended Period not yet exercised.

e. Landlord shall have the right, for [***] after receipt of notice of Tenant’s election to exercise any option to extend the Term, to reject Tenant’s election if Tenant gave such notice while Tenant was in default in the performance of any of its monetary or other material non-monetary obligations under the Lease, beyond applicable notice and cure periods and such rejection shall automatically render Tenant’s election to exercise such option null and void and of no effect.

f. The option provided herein to extend the Term of the Lease may not be severed from the Lease or separately sold, assigned or otherwise transferred.

R3.-R7. Intentionally omitted.

R8. HVAC Warrantee: Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 17.02 of the Lease, for the period beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on the first anniversary thereof (the “Warrantee Period”) Landlord shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for performing all repairs and replacements to the existing roof top HVAC units at the Building (the “HVAC”), provided that during the Warrantee Period, Tenant will contract with a reputable HVAC contractor for a maintenance contract and no repairs or replacement required during the Warrantee Period shall be occasioned by the misuse or negligent or wrongful acts of Tenant or its employees, agents, or contractors. Any claim made hereunder must be made upon Landlord within the Warrantee Period. If Tenant shall make such a claim, Landlord shall promptly perform the required repair and/or replacement even if same is not completed by the expiration of the Warrantee Period. Thereafter, Tenant shall repair and maintain the HVAC units at a cost not to exceed $[***] per unit during any given twelve (12) calendar month period for one or more of the HVAC units. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for such sums reasonably incurred that exceed such $[***] per year threshold via a credit against the following month(s) Fixed Rent. If any of the HVAC units shall have reached the end of its useful life and shall require replacement, as reasonably determined by Landlord, the actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket, third party cost of replacing the unit shall be amortized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals, on a straight line basis in monthly installments over the useful life of the replacement unit, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, and for each month during the remainder of the Lease Term Tenant shall pay an amount equal to such amortized monthly installments of the replacement cost of the unit. Such payments shall be deemed to be an Additional Charge and shall be due on the first of the month together with Tenant’s payment of the monthly installment of Fixed Rent due for such month; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall Tenant have any obligation to pay any such monthly installments until Landlord shall deliver an invoice for same accompanied by copies of the third party invoices submitted in connection with the replacement of the applicable HVAC unit and (ii) Tenant shall have no obligation to reimburse Landlord for any of the amortized replacement costs that relate to any period from and after the expiration of the term of this Lease.

R9. Roof Membrane: Amending Section 17.02 of the Lease, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain the roof and roof membrane and Tenant shall pay for same as an Operating Expense hereunder at the annual rate of $[***] multiplied by the Floor Space of the Demised Premises (the “Roof Supplement”). When the roof and roof membrane has reached the end of its useful life, as reasonably determined by Landlord or, promptly upon Landlord receipt of written notice from Tenant that the roof membrane’s condition is adversely impacting Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Demised Premises in more than a de minimis manner, whichever is earlier, Landlord shall install a new membrane or replace the roof membrane at the sole cost and expense of Landlord except to the extent such replacement is required due to the acts of Tenant or its agents. Following any such replacement, Tenant may elect upon not less than thirty (30) days notice to Landlord to maintain the roof and roof membrane (but not the roof structure) at its cost and expense, in which event the Roof Supplement shall cease, or to continue to pay the Roof Supplement, in which event Landlord shall continue to be responsible for all costs and expenses of maintaining and repairing the roof and the roof membrane other than for such costs and expenses as shall be required to repair damage caused by the acts of Tenant or its agents, employees or contractors.

R10. Sprinkler: Landlord, as part of Landlord’s Work, shall install ESFR sprinklers through the warehouse portions of the Demised Premises. Tenant shall be responsible for any sprinkler upgrades in the office, warehouse or studio areas.

 

3


R11. Signage and Building Name:

a. Subject to Tenant’s compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and the rights of other tenants in the Building, Tenant shall have the right to install signage on the exterior or interior of the Demised Premises and the Building, including, without limitation, pylon and/or monument signs (but not including roof signage), as Tenant shall deem necessary or appropriate after receipt of Landlord’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Such signs shall advertise only Tenant and any of its approved subtenants or assigns in the Demised Premises and shall not advertise any third parties. Tenant shall supply Landlord with copies of all permits and shall remove and restore any affected areas at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

b. Landlord may erect “For Let” and similar signs on the exterior of the Building and/or on the Land during the last nine (9) months of the Term or following a monetary or other non-monetary default not cured within the applicable notice and cure period, but during the Term Landlord may not erect any other signs on the exterior walls of or in the Demised Premises, the right to install such signs being exclusive to Tenant except as otherwise stated herein.

R12. Subordination and Non-Disturbance:

a. Landlord represents to Tenant that there are no Mortgages or Superior Leases encumbering the Demised Premises or any portion thereof as of the date of this Lease except for the Mortgage and Security Agreement, given by Landlord, as mortgagor, to or for the benefit of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“Teachers”) dated November 12, 2015 and recorded November 17, 2015 in Book 18637 Page 470.

b. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Superior Mortgagee to enter into their standard form of non-disturbance, attornment and subordination agreement with Tenant, provided that Tenant shall execute such document and with respect to Teachers only: Provided that Tenant first executes the SNDA in the form annexed as Exhibit G, Landlord shall cause Teachers to countersign such SNDA within thirty (30) days following the date of this Lease and Tenant shall pay the reasonable fee in connection therewith charged by Teachers, except no fee shall be charged should Tenant execute the form annexed as Exhibit G without any changes.

c. Landlord shall cause the holder of any future Mortgage to enter into their standard form of non-disturbance, attornment and subordination agreement with Tenant unless such future Superior Mortgagee is subordinate to the Lease.

R13. Landlord Representations and Covenants: Landlord represents to, and covenants with, Tenant as follows:

a. There are no easements or other matters of record with respect to the Demised Premises or any portion thereof which materially restrict the use of the Demised Premises for the Permitted Uses.

 

4


b. To Landlord’s knowledge, neither the Demised Premises nor any part thereof has been the subject of a remediation, an ISRA trigger, a no further action letter, or a response action outcome.

R14. Landlord Alterations, Improvements and Repairs:

a. Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant, its subtenants or assigns or any of the business operations at the Demised Premises while performing any such alterations and/or improvements and shall conduct any work in connection therewith so as to minimize interference to the extent commercially practicable. Tenant shall be permitted to condition its consent to any such alterations or improvements upon Landlord scheduling on-site work with Tenant in advance and conducting such work on such dates and/or at such times as Tenant shall reasonably require to minimize any disturbance to or interference with the business operations in the Demised Premises (but shall not require any such work during overtime hours). In no event shall Landlord shall make any alterations or improvements to the Demised Premises (including, without limitation, alteration of any curb cuts leading into the Building’s truck court or any utilities servicing the Building), nor shall Landlord grant any utility or other easements or rights with respect to any of the Demised Premises, if such alterations, improvements, easements or other rights would interfere with Tenant’s use and/or enjoyment of the Demised Premises, other than to a de minimis extent.

b. If during the Term the Floor Space of the Development is decreased by more than [***] percent, whether due to casualty, condemnation, the exercise of eminent domain, the sale of any Floor Space or any other reason, the Floor Space of the Development shall be deemed to be not less than [***] percent of the Floor Space of the Development as of the date of this Lease for purposes of determining the Building Fraction.

c. Other than in the event of an emergency, Tenant shall have the right to have a representative present at all times Landlord or any of its employees, agents, contractor or representative are present in or about the Demised Premises. Any and all work performed by Landlord in or about the Demised Premises shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with all applicable Insurance Requirements and Legal Requirements. Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant, its subtenants or assigns or any of the business operations at the Demised Premises while performing any such alterations and/or improvements and shall conduct any work in connection therewith so as to minimize any such interference to the extent commercially practicable. Tenant may require that any such work be scheduled with Tenant in advance and conducted on such dates and/or at such times as Tenant shall reasonably require to minimize any disturbance to or interference with the business operations in the Demised Premises (but not during overtime hours). In no event shall Landlord have the right to stage work to areas outside of the Demised Premises from within the parking lots or other areas of the Demised Premises if such staging would or does materially interfere with Tenant’s business operations.

In no event shall the usable area of the Building be permanently reduced by such alterations, improvements or other work performed by or on behalf of Landlord.

R15. Tenant Alterations and Improvements:

a. Tenant shall be permitted to paint the interior of the Building or any portion thereof, install carpeting and make other decorative alterations upon advance notice to Landlord but without Landlord’s consent.

b. All alterations and improvements performed by or on behalf of Tenant shall be deemed to be Tenant’s Property during the Term of the Lease and Tenant shall be the sole party entitled to depreciate same as an asset for tax purposes.

c. If Landlord shall have the right to and shall require that Tenant use a contractor designated by Landlord to perform any alterations, improvements, maintenance, repairs or other work to the Demised Premises, Landlord shall cause such contractor to provide its services to Tenant at competitive market rates.

R16. Zoning; Storage of Materials; Exclusive Use:

a. Landlord shall not apply for any change to the zoning for the Demised Premises, or consent to any such change if the effect thereof would impact in any material manner upon Tenant’s right to use the Demised Premises for the Permitted Uses during the Term.

b. Materials stored in the Building shall not be considered to be hazardous materials merely because they contain components or materials which, by themselves in concentrated quantities, would be considered hazardous materials. By way of example, but not limitation, the storage of oil paintings in the Building would not be deemed to be the improper warehouse of hazardous materials merely because the oil paint on the paintings, if stored in concentrated quantities, would be deemed to be an improper storage of hazardous materials.

c. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall not prevent Tenant from having access to the Demised Premises twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days, three hundred sixty five days per year (three hundred sixty six days per year in any leap year).

R17. Environmental Indemnity: Landlord agrees that it shall defend, indemnify and save Tenant harmless from and against all claims, loss, damage, liability and expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) which the Tenant may sustain as a result of or on account of non-compliance of the Demised Premises with the Environmental Laws as the result of conditions existing on the Demised Premises (a) prior to the Commencement Date and/or (b) which were caused by Landlord, or its agents, and employees after the Commencement Date (except to the extent caused by Tenant, its agents, invitees, or employees). Environmental Laws are defined as laws, statutes, ordinances or regulations relating to the discharge of “Hazardous Substances”, as defined under New Jersey law N.J.A.C. 7:1E-1.7, into the air, water, lands or groundwaters of the State of New Jersey, or the United States of America.

R18. No Violations: Supplementing Article 12, Landlord represents that to the best of its knowledge there are no current open violations of Legal Requirements affecting the Demised Premises and in the event a violation is issued prior to the Commencement Date and the issuance of same did not arise through the action of Tenant, its employees, agents or contractors or anyone acting on their behalf, Landlord shall cure such violation at its sole cost and expense.

R19. Right to Terminate: Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Commencement Date does not occur on or before December 31, 2018 except to the extent the delay in the Commencement Date arises from the actions of Tenant or its agents, employees or contractors or anyone acting on their behalf, Tenant may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, terminate this Lease upon two days’ written notice to Landlord (which notice must be delivered by Tenant to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date, time being of the essence, or such right to terminate will be deemed waived), and, promptly upon such termination, Landlord shall return to Tenant all monies, letters of credit and/or other security or other payments previously made or remitted by Tenant to Landlord, which obligation of Landlord shall survive such termination. Upon such termination, except for the foregoing obligation of Landlord, neither party shall have any further obligation under or in respect of this Lease.

R20. Landlord’s Defaults: If Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations under this Lease (a “Landlord Default”), Tenant may give Landlord notice specifying the Landlord Default. A Landlord Default must be cured (i) for monetary defaults within fifteen (15) days after receiving notice from Tenant; or (ii) for non-monetary defaults within thirty (30) days after receiving notice thereof, however for those that cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, within a reasonable period of time thereafter provided that Landlord has commenced its cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter prosecutes its cure to completion with commercially reasonable and diligent efforts. If the Landlord Default is not corrected within the applicable cure period, the Tenant shall have all rights powers or remedies permitted by law but under no circumstances shall Tenant be permitted to offset any sums incurred against Rent due under the Lease.

R21. Required Landlord Payments to Tenant: No payment by Landlord or receipt or acceptance by Tenant of a lesser amount than the correct payment or reimbursement due Tenant from Landlord shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Tenant may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Tenant’s right to recover the balance or pursue any other remedy in this Lease or at law provided.

R22. Landlord’s Work and Tenant’s Delays: Tenant shall not be charged with a Tenant Delay for delay in Landlord’s Work resulting from changes to Landlord’s Work requested by Tenant, including, without limitation, requested changes involving long lead-time items, unless (i) prior to approving such changes Landlord notifies Tenant of the estimated delay in Landlord’s Work likely to result from such changes, and (ii) Tenant provides notice to Landlord requesting that Landlord proceed with the requested change. In no event shall Tenant be charged with a Tenant Delay for a delay in submitting or approving plans or other information or materials unless Tenant shall fail to provide plans, information or other submissions, or consents or approvals, expressly provided for in the Lease within the time periods expressly set forth in the Lease.

R23. Landlord’s Waiver of Consequential Damages: Other than a holdover beyond the Expiration Date, in no event shall Tenant be liable to Landlord with respect to any consequential, exemplary or punitive damages in connection with this Lease and/or Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Demised Premises.

 

7


R24. Loss of Service: If due to any activities of Landlord (i) Tenant shall lose commercially reasonable access to the Building or commercially reasonable access to a material portion of the parking areas or truck access which prevent Tenant from conducting its normal business activities in the Building, or (ii) the delivery of electricity or other utility or service required for Tenant to conduct its normal business activities in the Building shall be interrupted, or (iii) if Tenant shall lose the ability to use all or a significant portion of the Building for Tenant’s normal business activities and the condition created in (i), (ii) or (iii) continues for five (5) consecutive Business Days during which time Tenant is prevented from and does not use the affected areas, then all Rent shall abate with respect to the affected area of the Building for the period of time following forty-eight (48) hours after Tenant has given written notice to Landlord of such loss and shall continue until the earlier of (x) the day the condition giving rise to such abatement no longer exists, or (y) the date Tenant resumes business activities in the area(s) affected.

Granting Clause. In consideration of the obligation of Tenant to pay rent as herein provided and in consideration of the other terms, covenants, and conditions hereof, Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant takes from Landlord, the Premises, to have and to hold for the Lease Term, subject to the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.

 

3.

Acceptance of Premises. Tenant shall accept the Premises in its condition as of the Commencement Date, subject to all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, covenants and restrictions. Landlord has made no representation or warranty as to the suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business, and Tenant waives any implied warranty that the Premises are suitable for Tenant’s intended purposes. Except as provided herein otherwise, in no event shall Landlord have any obligation for any defects in the Premises or any limitation on its use. No later than 10 days after written demand is made by Landlord of Tenant, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a Commencement Date Certificate in the form of Exhibit C attached to and made a part of this Lease.

 

- 2 -


Tenant acknowledges that as of the date of this Lease, the Premises are occupied by an existing tenant (the “Existing Tenant”). Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant until Landlord has obtained lawful possession of the Premises from the Existing Tenant.

Landlord represents and warrants that as of the Commencement Date the Premises’ HVAC, electrical, plumbing, sprinkler, and other mechanical systems are in good working order and Landlord warrants such systems for a period of six (6) months from the Commencement Date; provided, however, that such warranty shall not be effective for any maintenance, repairs or replacements necessitated due to the misuse of, or damages caused by, Tenant, its employees, contractors, agents, subtenants, or invitees. Furthermore, Landlord represents and warrants that as of the Commencement Date the Premises shall be vacant and in broom clean condition.

Notwithstanding any contrary term or provision contained herein, in the event Tenant has not received a grant or other financial assistance from the State of New Jersey (i.e. through the Grow New Jersey program) in an amount reasonably acceptable to Tenant on or before September 25, 2018 Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord on, or prior to September 30, 2018, in which event Landlord shall promptly return the Security Deposit and the first month’s Base Rent, Taxes and Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses to Tenant, and after which neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further obligations to the other hereunder. Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a grant or other financial assistance from the State of New Jersey through September 25, 2018.

 

4.

Use. The Premises shall be used only for the purpose of receiving, storing, shipping and selling (but specifically excluding retail selling) products and for such other lawful purposes as may be incidental thereto. Tenant shall not conduct any auction, liquidation, or going out of business sale on the Premises. Tenant will use the Premises, Building, and Project in a safe manner and will not commit waste, overload the floor or structure of the Premises, or subject the Premises to use that would damage the Premises. Tenant shall not permit any nuisance or objectionable odors, noise, or vibrations to emanate from the Premises. Outside storage is prohibited at the Project. Tenant, at its sole expense, shall use the Premises in compliance with all federal, state, local, and municipal laws, orders, judgments, ordinances, regulations, codes, directives, permits, licenses, covenants and restrictions now or hereafter applicable to the Premises (collectively, “Legal Requirements”). The Premises shall not be used as a place of public accommodation under the Americans With Disabilities Act or similar state statutes or local ordinances or any regulations promulgated thereunder, all as may be amended from time to time. The Premises shall not be used for residential purposes. Tenant shall, at its expense, make any alterations or modifications, at the Premises or Project, that are required by Legal Requirements related to Tenant’s specific use or occupation of the Premises as opposed to general warehouse and distribution use. Landlord represents and warrants that, as of the Commencement Date, no written notice has been received by Landlord of non-compliance with any Legal Requirements in connection with the Premises. In the event that Landlord receives notice, or is otherwise informed, that the Premises is not in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements existing as of the Commencement Date, or which come into effect after the Commencement Date, and such non-compliance is not related to Tenant’s specific use of the Premises or Tenant-Made Alterations to the Premises performed by Tenant, Landlord shall make such modifications as may be required by order or directive of applicable governmental authority, or otherwise brought to Landlord’s knowledge, in order to bring the Premises into compliance with such applicable Legal Requirements without cost or expense to Tenant.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant shall provide notice to Landlord that Tenant, or Tenant’s agents, contractors, or employees, requires access to the roof of the Building, along with the date such access is required, prior to accessing the roof of the Building. Tenant shall follow all Legal Requirements, including, but not limited to, OSHA requirements when employees, contractors, or agents access the roof of the Building and shall use reasonable and appropriate safety precautions in order to ensure such employees, contractors, or agents are not subject to injury or death.

 

5.

Base Rent. The first month’s Base Rent, Taxes, and Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses shall be due and payable upon execution of this Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord in advance, without demand, subsequent monthly installments of Base Rent on, or before, the first day of each calendar month succeeding the Commencement Date as set forth in Paragraph 1 (prorated for any fractional calendar month). All payments required to be made by Tenant to Landlord hereunder (or to such other party or at such location as Landlord may from time to time specify in writing) shall be made by Electronic Fund Transfer (“EFT”) or Automated Clearing House (“ACH”). The obligation of Tenant to pay Base Rent and other sums to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are independent obligations. Tenant shall have no right at any time to abate, reduce, or set-off any amounts due and payable hereunder except as may be expressly provided in this Lease. If Tenant is delinquent in any monthly installment of Base Rent, Taxes, the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses, or other amount due and payable herein for more than 5 days, in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies (and not as a penalty), Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge equal to [***] of such delinquent sum.

 

6.

Fixed Operating Expenses. In addition to the Base Rent, during each month of the Lease Term, on the same date that Base Rent is due, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses provided in Paragraph 1 of the Lease, which Landlord and Tenant agree shall be reimbursement for Landlord’s obligations with respect to the maintenance, repairs, and replacements as provided in Paragraph 11 of the Lease, as well as the insurance premiums incurred by Landlord as provided in Paragraph 10 of the Lease. Effective on each annual anniversary of the Commencement Date during the Lease Term (or, if the first annual anniversary occurs on a date other than the first day of a calendar month, then on the first day of the immediately subsequent calendar month and on each annual anniversary date thereafter), the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses shall be automatically increased by an amount equal to the Annual Fixed Operating Expense Increase provided in Paragraph 1 over the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses due and payable under this Lease immediately prior to such increase. Landlord and Tenant agree that except for the increases in the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses as provided above, the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses shall not be reconciled against the actual operating expenses incurred by Landlord at any time during the Lease Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Lease Term is extended in any manner, whether via an option to extend or otherwise, Landlord shall have the right to amend the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses due and payable by Tenant during such extension of the Lease Term, as well as the Annual Fixed Operating Expense Increase, each as determined in Landlord’s reasonable determination based on the actual

 

- 4 -


  operating expenses applicable to the Project prior to such increase and Landlord’s projected annual increase of such operating expenses, upon delivery of written notice to Tenant of Landlord’s intent to amend such terms. For the purpose of Landlord’s determination of the Fixed Operating Expenses during any extension of the Lease Term as provided herein only, the actual operating expenses shall mean all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to the ownership, maintenance, and operation of the Project (excluding Taxes) including, but not limited to costs of: insurance; utilities; maintenance, repair and replacement of all portions of the Building, Premises, and Project, including without limitation, paving and parking areas, roads, the roof, alleys, and driveways, mowing, landscaping, snow removal, exterior painting, utility lines, fire sprinklers and fire protection systems, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, lighting, electrical systems and other mechanical and building systems; amounts paid to contractors and subcontractors for work or services performed in connection with any of the foregoing; charges or assessments of any association to which the Project is subject; a property management or administration fee payable to a property manager, including Landlord, or any affiliate of Landlord; security services, if any; trash collection, sweeping and debris removal; and additions or alterations made by Landlord to the Project or the Building in order to comply with Legal Requirements (other than those expressly required herein to be made by Tenant).

Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, in no event shall Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses be calculated to include (a) reserves for future expenditures; (b) costs incurred by Landlord for repair or restoration to the extent that Landlord is reimbursed by insurance or condemnation proceeds or that is covered by warranty; (c) costs incurred due to the negligence or misconduct of Landlord or its agents, contractors, licensees and employees or the violation by Landlord of the terms and conditions of this Lease; (d) overhead and profit increment paid to Landlord or to subsidiaries or affiliates of Landlord for services to the extent the same exceeds the costs of such services rendered by other first-class unaffiliated third parties on a competitive basis; (e) any costs relating to hazardous materials, asbestos and the like not resulting from actions of tenant; (f) charges for depreciation of the Building or equipment; (g) taxes of any kind; and (h) marketing, promotions or advertising of any kind.

 

7.

Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall be due and payable to Landlord upon execution of this Lease. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of Landlord’s damages in case of Tenant’s default. Upon any Event of Default (hereinafter defined), Landlord may use all, or part of, the Security Deposit to pay delinquent payments due under this Lease, and the cost of any damage, injury, expense or liability caused by such Event of Default, without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein or provided by law. Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand the amount that will restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Landlord’s obligation respecting the Security Deposit is that of a debtor, not a trustee. The Security Deposit shall be the property of Landlord, but shall be paid to Tenant when Tenant’s obligations under this Lease have been completely fulfilled. Landlord shall not be required to keep all or any part of the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts, and no interest shall accrue thereon. Provided Landlord actually transfers the Security Deposit to any person or entity assuming Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall be released from any obligation with respect to the Security Deposit upon transfer of this Lease, the Premises and the Security Deposit to a person or entity assuming Landlord’s obligations under this Lease.

 

- 5 -


The Security Deposit under the Lease shall be $[***], in the form of an unconditional, irrevocable letter of credit from a bank reasonably acceptable to Landlord and in compliance with the material terms shown in Exhibit H attached hereto (“Letter of Credit”). The Letter of Credit shall either provide that it does not expire until 60 days following the Expiration Date or, if it is for less than the full Lease Term, shall be automatically renewed for an additional year unless Landlord receives notice from the issuing bank at least 60 days prior to its expiration that it will not be extended. The Letter of Credit shall provide that it may be drawn down upon by Landlord in whole or in part at any time Landlord delivers to the bank its site draft and a drawing request in the form attached hereto as Annex 2 to Exhibit H. If Landlord sells or conveys the Premises, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, cooperate in having the Letter of Credit transferred to the purchaser and Landlord agrees to notify Tenant in the event of such transfer. If the Letter of Credit is ever drawn upon by Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Lease, Tenant shall within ten (10) business days thereafter cause the Letter of Credit to be restored to the then existing amount at the time immediately prior to the draw down, or supply Landlord with an additional Letter of Credit equal to the amount drawn upon such that Landlord has one or more letters of credit in the aggregate amount required by the terms of this Lease.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event Landlord receives notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed in accordance with the terms and conditions as set forth in this Paragraph 7, or Tenant fails to renew such Letter of Credit, or in the event that Tenant shall commence any proceeding for relief, as defined in Paragraph 24(b) of the Lease, the Letter of Credit shall provide, and Tenant agrees, that Landlord, without the requirement of notice or opportunity to cure, may immediately draw down on the full amount of the Letter of Credit, holding the proceeds of same as a cash Security Deposit.

After the sixty-third (63rd) month of the Lease Term, the required amount of the Letter of Credit may be reduced to $[***] for the remainder of the Lease Term, provided that the following conditions are met as of the last day of the 63rd month of the Lease Term: (i) no Event of Default shall then exist or shall have existed at any time during the Lease Term; (ii) Tenant demonstrates to Landlord that it has achieved twelve (12) consecutive months of positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”); and (iii) Tenant demonstrates to Landlord that it has a tangible net worth of at least $[***] as of such date. Prior to such Letter of Credit reduction, Tenant shall provide Landlord with audited financial statements evidencing the satisfaction of the requirements under conditions (ii) and (iii) above.

 

8.

Utilities. Tenant shall pay directly for all separately metered, or contracted public and private utilities including, but not limited to, water, gas, electricity, telephone, sewer, refuse and trash collection, and other utilities and services used on the Premises, along with any taxes, penalties, or surcharges with respect thereto. Landlord may cause at Tenant’s expense any jointly metered utilities to be separately metered or charged directly to Tenant by the provider. Interruptions or failures of utilities shall not result in a default by Landlord under this Lease, or the termination of this Lease, or the abatement of rent. Tenant agrees to limit use of water and sewer to amounts consistent with normal restroom and office use.

 

- 6 -


9.

Taxes. Subject to reimbursement as provided below, Landlord shall pay all taxes, assessments, governmental charges, and fees payable to tax consultants and attorneys for consultation and contesting taxes (collectively referred to as “Taxes”) that accrue against the Building or Project during the Lease Term. Landlord may contest the amount, validity, or application of any Taxes or liens thereof. If Landlord fails to contest Taxes, Tenant shall have the right to request Landlord to contest such Taxes, and Landlord shall so contest, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (including, without limitation, Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable fees payable to tax consultants and attorneys for consultation and contesting Taxes), if, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, such contest is warranted; provided, however, Tenant’s request of such contesting of Taxes shall be limited to one request in a calendar year. Landlord shall cooperate in the institution and prosecution of any such proceedings of contesting Taxes and will execute any documents reasonably required therefor. All reductions, refunds, or rebates of Taxes paid or payable by Tenant shall belong to Tenant whether as a consequence of a Tenant proceeding or otherwise. All capital levies or other taxes assessed or imposed on Landlord upon the rents payable to Landlord under this Lease and any franchise tax, any excise, use, margin, transaction, sales or privilege tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such rents from the Premises and/or the Project or any portion thereof shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand as additional rent; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant be liable for any net income taxes imposed on Landlord unless such net income taxes are in substitution for any Taxes payable hereunder. If any tax or excise is levied or assessed directly against Tenant, or the Premises, or results from any Tenant-Made Alterations (defined below), then Tenant shall pay such tax or excise as required by the taxing authority. Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against any personal property or fixtures placed in the Premises by Tenant even if levied or assessed against the Landlord.

During each month of the Lease Term, on the same date that Base Rent is due, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to 1/12 of the annual cost (prorated for any fractional calendar month), as estimated by Landlord, of Tenant’s Proportionate Share (hereinafter defined) of Taxes for the Project or Building. Within ninety (90) days of the conclusion of each calendar year during the Lease Term, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a copy of the tax bill and a the statement reconciling Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes for such just concluded calendar year. If Tenant’s total payments of Taxes for any year are less than Tenant’s Proportionate Share of actual Taxes for such year, then Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within thirty (30) days after demand, and if more, then Landlord shall pay such refund to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the date Landlord provides Tenant with the annual accounting. Any payment required to be paid by Landlord shall be delivered to the most recent address Tenant has provided to Landlord and, if undeliverable, shall be deemed forfeited by Tenant. Tenant’s “Proportionate Share” shall be the percentage set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Lease as reasonably adjusted by Landlord in the future for changes in the physical size of the Premises, Building, or Project. The Taxes set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Lease is only an estimate, and Landlord makes no guaranty as to the accuracy of such estimate.

10.

Insurance. Landlord shall maintain all risk property insurance covering the full replacement cost of the Building and commercial general liability insurance on the Project in forms and amounts customary for properties substantially similar to the Project. The Project or Building may be included in a blanket policy or captive insurance program. Tenant will not use the Premises in any manner that would void Tenant’s or Landlord’s insurance, increase the insurance risk, or cause the disallowance of any insurance credits. If any increase in the cost of any insurance on the Premises or the Project is caused by Tenant’s use of the Premises, then Tenant shall pay the amount of such increase to Landlord. Landlord represents and warrants that the use of the Premises for the general purpose of warehousing of non-Hazardous Materials or highly flammable materials and general office space will not (i) void Landlord’s insurance, or (ii) increase the insurance risk or cause the disallowance of any insurance credits.

Tenant, at its sole expense, shall maintain during the Lease Term the following insurance: (1) commercial general liability insurance, on an occurrence basis, covering Tenant, and its activities at the Project, having a minimum limit of $[***] per occurrence (which requirement may be satisfied by a combination of primary and excess policy limits); (2) all risk property insurance covering the full replacement cost of all property and improvements placed in the Premises by, or on behalf of, Tenant, including any property of Tenant’s customers or which is otherwise not owned by Tenant; (3) workers’ compensation insurance as required by the applicable state statute (or equivalent coverage reasonably acceptable to Landlord in the event there is no such statutory requirement) which shall include a waiver of subrogation in favor of Landlord, Prologis, Inc., its affiliates, and property manager (Landlord and such parties are collectively referred to herein as the “Landlord Parties”); (4) employers liability insurance of at least $[***], (5) provided Tenant uses its own automobiles as part of the business being conducted from the Premises, business automobile liability insurance having a combined single limit of not less than $[***] per occurrence which can be satisfied by a combination of primary and excess policy limits insuring Tenant against liability arising out of the ownership maintenance or use of any owned, hired or non-owned automobiles, and (6) business interruption insurance covering at least 6 months of income. Tenant’s insurance companies shall have an A.M. Best rating of not less than A-VIII and provide primary and non-contributory coverage to the Landlord Parties (any policy issued to Landlord providing duplicate or similar coverage shall be deemed excess over Tenant’s policies). All commercial general liability policies shall name the Landlord Parties as additional insureds. The limits and types of insurance maintained by Tenant shall not limit Tenant’s liability under this Lease. Tenant shall provide Landlord with certificates of such insurance in forms reasonably acceptable to Landlord as required under this Lease prior to the date Tenant is provided with possession of the Premises, and thereafter at least 15 days prior to the expiration of the insurance coverage, and 15 days following Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s request for such certificates. Acceptance by Landlord of delivery of any certificates of insurance does not constitute approval or agreement by Landlord that the insurance requirements of this section have been met. In the event any of the insurance policies required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease shall be cancelled prior to the expiration date of such policy, or if Tenant receives notice of any cancellation of such insurance policies from the insurer prior to the expiration date of such policy, Tenant shall promptly replace such insurance policy in order to assure no lapse of coverage shall occur.

 

- 8 -


The all-risk property insurance obtained by Landlord and Tenant shall include a waiver of subrogation by the insurers and all rights based upon an assignment from its insured, against Landlord or Tenant, their officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees and contractors, in connection with any insured loss or damage. Neither party, nor its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees or contractors, shall be liable to the other for loss or damage caused by any risk coverable by all risk property insurance, and each party waives any claims against the other party, and its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees and contractors for such loss or damage. The failure of a party to insure its property shall not void this waiver. Neither party, nor its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, or contractors, shall be liable to the other for any business interruption loss incurred, and each party waives any claims against the other party, and its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, and contractors for such business interruption loss from any cause whatsoever, including, but not limited to damage caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by the negligent acts of the other party at the Premises or the Project.

 

11.

Landlord’s Repairs and Maintenance. Landlord shall maintain, repair, and replace, at Landlord’s expense, the exterior and structural elements of the Building, including the roof, walls, the structural integrity of the foundation, parking areas, driveways, alleys, landscaping, lighting, the Building fire sprinkler system, all components of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (the “HVAC”) units serving the office portion of the Premises, any exterior louvers or ventilation fans for typical warehouse air changes, and any heating and/or evaporative cooler systems serving the warehouse portion of the Premises which may exist (the “Warehouse Units”), and the below slab water and sewer lines, in good working order, excluding reasonable wear and tear and uninsured damages caused by Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors, invitees, subtenant’s and assignees. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord’s obligation with respect to the HVAC and Warehouse Units as provided above shall expressly exclude any heating, ventilation, or air conditioning systems installed by Tenant in the Premises, any specialty HVAC systems (including but not limited to IT room supplemental HVAC or which are necessary for temperature controlled product), and any air conditioning systems serving the warehouse portion of the Premises other than the evaporative cooler systems as provided above. In addition to the foregoing, if customary in the market where the Project is located, Landlord, at Landlord’s expense, shall provide snow removal for the Project to the extent applicable under the local conditions, and parking lot sweeping at the Project in a manner consistent with owners of similar buildings and projects in the market where the Building is located. The term “walls” as used in this Paragraph shall not include windows, glass or plate glass, doors or overhead doors, dock bumpers, or dock plates or levelers. Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly give Landlord written notice of any repair required by Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph.

In the event of an emergency (being defined as an imminent threat of personal injury to Tenant’s employees, or material damage to Tenant’s equipment or other property at the Premises, or a material and adverse impact on Tenant’s operations as the Premises), Tenant shall have the right to make such temporary, emergency repairs to the roof, foundation, floors and exterior walls of the building of which the Premises are a part, or the roof membrane, skylights, roof vents, drains and downspouts of the Project, and the exterior and under slab utility systems for the Project, as may be reasonably necessary to prevent such material damage to the equipment or property of Tenant situated in the Premises, or such personal injury to

 

- 9 -


Tenant’s employees, or a material and adverse impact on Tenant’s operations as the Premises, provided Tenant has no reasonable alternative and has notified or attempted in good faith to notify Landlord’s representative of such emergency by telephone (with subsequent written notice as soon as practicable). The provisions of this paragraph do not constitute an authorization by Landlord for Tenant to enter the premises of any other tenant of the Project, and Tenant has not been designated as Landlord’s agent for the purposes of any such entry. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant in making such emergency repairs to the roof, foundation or exterior walls, as applicable, up to (but not to exceed) $[***] with respect to each such occurrence, within thirty (30) days after submission by Tenant to Landlord of an invoice therefore, accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation for the costs so incurred. In the event Landlord fails or refuses to reimburse Tenant for such costs within such thirty (30) day period and Tenant brings an action for recovery of such amounts from Landlord as provided for in this Lease, then Tenant shall be entitled to recover, in addition to the amount of such costs, interest on such amounts from the date incurred by Tenant until recovered from Landlord, at the rate provided in Paragraph 37(k) of this Lease, and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs of court incurred by Tenant in pursuing such action.

 

12.

Tenant’s Repairs. Subject to Landlord’s obligations in Paragraphs 3 and 11, and subject to Paragraphs 10 and 16, Tenant, at its expense, shall repair, replace and maintain in good condition the Premises and all areas, improvements and systems exclusively serving the Premises including, without limitation, dock and loading areas, truck doors, plumbing, above slab water and sewer lines up to points of common connection, entries, doors, ceilings, windows, and interior walls, which repair and replacement obligations include capital repairs whose benefit may extend beyond the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding Landlord’s obligations with respect to the HVAC units serving the office portion of the Premises as provided in Paragraph 11, Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall be responsible for the maintenance, repair, and replacement of any warehouse air conditioning units, as wells as the exhaust fans, ductwork, vents, and registers of such air conditioning units serving the warehouse portion of the Premises. If Tenant fails to perform any maintenance, repair, or replacement for which it is responsible within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s written demand, Landlord may perform such work and be reimbursed by Tenant within thirty (30) days after demand therefor. Subject to Paragraphs 10 and 16, Tenant shall bear the full cost of any repair or replacement to any part of the Building or Project that results from damage caused by Tenant, its agents, contractors, or invitees, or Tenant’s failure to maintain the Premises in accordance with this Lease.

 

13.

Tenant-Made Alterations and Trade Fixtures. Any alterations, additions, or improvements made by, or on behalf of, Tenant to the Premises (“Tenant-Made Alterations”) shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent and approval of the plans, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned provided that such alteration does not materially affect the structure or the roof of the Building, modify the exterior of the Building, or modify the utility or mechanical systems of the Project. Tenant shall cause, at its expense, all Tenant-Made Alterations to: (a) be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner by contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord using only good grades of materials, and (b) comply with Landlord’s insurance requirements and Legal Requirements. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs in reviewing plans and specifications and for monitoring construction.

 

- 10 -


  Landlord’s right to review plans and specifications and to monitor construction shall be solely for its own benefit, and Landlord shall have no duty to see that such plans and specifications or construction comply with Legal Requirements. Tenant shall provide Landlord with the names and mailing addresses of all persons performing work or supplying materials, prior to beginning such construction, and Landlord may post on and about the Premises notices of non-responsibility pursuant to applicable law. Tenant shall cause its contractor to provide certificates of insurance for worker’s compensation, including a waiver of subrogation in favor of the Landlord Parties, and commercial general liability in an amount equal to USD$[***] from an insurance company satisfactory to Landlord, including a provision of additional insured status for the Landlord Parties, from any contractor completing work on Tenant-Made Alterations. Upon completion of any Tenant-Made Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all final lien waivers from all contractors and subcontractors who did work on the Tenant-Made Alterations. Upon surrender of the Premises all Tenant-Made Alterations and any leasehold improvements constructed by Landlord or Tenant shall remain on the Premises as Landlord’s property, except to the extent Landlord requires removal, in which case, at Tenant’s expense, Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such installation or removal. Upon Tenant’s prior written request, Landlord shall provide Tenant a list of which Tenant-Made Alterations Landlord will require Tenant to remove upon surrender of the Premises.

Without Landlord’s prior approval, Tenant may erect shelves, racking, bins, machinery and trade fixtures (collectively “Trade Fixtures”) provided that such items do not overload the Premises, may be removed without damaging the Premises, and installation thereof complies with all Legal Requirements. Tenant shall remove its Trade Fixtures and shall repair any damage caused by such installation or removal upon surrender of the Premises.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and provided that no Event of Default exists or would exist but for the passage of time, giving of notice, or both, Landlord shall contribute up to a maximum amount of USD$[***] (the “TI Allowance”), towards the Tenant-Made Alterations to the Premises which can be capitalized by Landlord (as opposed to repairs and maintenance to the Premises), which payment shall be made by Landlord to Tenant within 30 days following (i) completion of the Tenant-Made Alterations, (ii) Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s invoice substantiating the costs along with copies of vendor invoices summarizing work done, (iii) Landlord’s receipt of final lien waivers from all contractors and subcontractors who worked on the Tenant-Made Alterations, and (iv) Landlord’s receipt of a copy of the final construction permit approved by the applicable governing authority to the extent required for such Tenant-Made

Alterations. Landlord shall be under no obligation to pay for any Tenant-Made Alterations to the Premises in excess of the TI Allowance. Further, such TI Allowance shall only be available for Tenant’s use through 12/31/2019, and Tenant hereby waives any and all rights to any unused portion of the TI Allowance remaining thereafter.

 

14.

Signs. Tenant shall not install any decorations, flags, pennants, banners, window or door lettering, placards, advertising media, lights or signs to the exterior of the Building, or interior window blinds, draperies, bars, or other window treatments which are visible from the exterior of the Building, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may not be

 

- 11 -


  unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided such signage is consistent with Legal Requirements and Landlord’s signage criteria. Landlord, at Landlord’s expense, shall allocate space on the monument sign serving the Building for Tenant’s name. Prior to the surrender or vacation of the Premises, Tenant shall remove all signs and repair, paint, and/or replace the building facia surface to which its signs may be attached. Tenant shall obtain all applicable governmental permits and approvals for any sign.

 

15.

Parking. Tenant shall be entitled to the exclusive use of the automobile and truck parking areas at the Project. Landlord shall not be responsible for enforcing Tenant’s parking rights against any third parties.

 

16.

Restoration. If at any time during the Lease Term the Premises are damaged by a fire or other casualty, Landlord shall notify Tenant within 60 days after such damage as to the amount of time Landlord reasonably estimates it will take to restore the Premises. If the restoration time is reasonably estimated to exceed 6 months from the date of the casualty event, either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease upon notice to the other party given no later than 30 days after Landlord’s notice. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease, or if Landlord estimates that the restoration will take less than 6 months from the date of such damage, or if neither party terminates this Lease, then Landlord shall, subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds or from events of Force Majeure, restore the Premises, excluding any Tenant-Made Alterations. Tenant at Tenant’s expense shall promptly perform, subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds, or from Force Majeure events, all repairs or restoration not required to be done by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may terminate this Lease if the Premises are damaged during the last year of the Lease Term and Landlord reasonably estimates that it will take more than one month to repair such damage, provided, however, Tenant may nullify Landlord’s termination notice by exercising its right to the First Extension Term (as defined in Exhibit G) within ten (10) days of its receipt of Landlord’s notice of termination. With respect to any damage to the Premises attributable to Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s deductible with respect to its insurance policy not to exceed USD$[***] no later than thirty (30) days following receipt of an invoice for such amount. Base Rent, Taxes, and the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses shall be abated for the period of repair and restoration commencing on the date of such casualty event in the proportion which the area of the Premises, if any, which is not usable by Tenant bears to the total area of the Premises. Such abatement shall be the sole remedy of Tenant, and except as provided herein, Tenant waives any right to terminate the Lease by reason of damage or casualty loss.

Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of this Paragraph, if the Premises are not restored by Landlord on, or prior to, the date which is the later of 6 months of the date of the casualty event (subject to Force Majeure and Tenant-caused delays) or the date Landlord estimated completion of the restoration as described above (subject to Force Majeure and Tenant-caused delays), Tenant may terminate the Lease upon thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord; provided, however, if Landlord completes the restoration in said thirty (30) day notice period, Tenant’s notice of termination shall be null and void and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.

 

- 12 -


17.

Condemnation. If any part of the Premises or the Project should be taken for any public or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance, or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking” or “Taken”), and the Taking is a Taking of the entire Building or Project, or would result in the Project no longer being operational for the uses provided herein, then upon written notice by Landlord this Lease shall terminate and Base Rent shall be apportioned as of said date. In the event (i) more than [***] of the Premises is involved in a Taking as described in this Paragraph 17, or (ii) more than [***] of the parking spaces for the Building are Taken and not replaced by Landlord with other parking spaces in the Project proximate to the Building, and in either case the Taking, in Tenant’s reasonable judgment, would materially interfere with or impair Tenant’s operations at the Premises, then in any such event Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to Landlord within thirty (30) days of such Taking If part of the Premises shall be Taken, and this Lease is not terminated as provided above, the Base Rent, Operating Expenses and Taxes payable hereunder during the unexpired Lease Term shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable under the circumstances. In the event of any such Taking, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire price or award from any such Taking without any payment to Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant’s interest, if any, in such award. Tenant shall have the right, to the extent that same shall not diminish Landlord’s award, to make a separate claim against the condemning authority (but not Landlord) for such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant for moving expenses and damage to Tenant’s Trade Fixtures.

 

18.

Assignment and Subletting. Except as expressly provided herein otherwise, Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublease the Premises or any part thereof, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and any attempt to do any of the foregoing without Landlord’s consent shall be void and of no effect. Furthermore, Tenant shall not mortgage, or pledge, its leasehold interest in this Lease under any circumstances. It shall be reasonable for the Landlord to withhold, delay or condition its consent to any assignment or sublease if the intended use of the Premises by the assignee or sublessee would impair Landlord’s ability to re-lease the Premises. Any approved assignment or sublease shall be expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Tenant shall provide to Landlord all information concerning the assignee or sublessee as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord may revoke its consent immediately if there is an Event of Default. For purposes of this Paragraph, a transfer of the ownership interests controlling Tenant shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease unless such ownership interests are publicly traded. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, provided no uncured default exists under this Lease, and subject to the provisions herein, Tenant may, without Landlord’s prior written consent, assign this Lease to any entity into which Tenant is merged or consolidated, or to any entity to which substantially all of Tenant’s assets are transferred, provided the following conditions are met: (x) such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets is not principally for the purpose of transferring Tenant’s leasehold estate, (y) either such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets does not adversely affect the legal existence of the Tenant hereunder or such resulting entity agrees to assume all obligations and liabilities of Tenant under the Lease, including those which may have accrued prior to the effective date of such transfer in a form acceptable to Landlord, and (z) such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets of Tenant does not reduce the tangible net worth of Tenant after giving effect to such transfer below [***] Dollars (“Permitted Transfer”). Tenant hereby

 

- 13 -


  agrees to give Landlord written notice thirty (30) days prior to such merger, consolidation, or transfer of assets along with any documentation reasonably requested by Landlord related to the required conditions as provided above. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant may assign or sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, to any entity controlling Tenant, controlled by Tenant or under common control with Tenant (a “Tenant Affiliate”), without the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord an amount equal to USD$[***] in connection with any assignment or sublease for which Landlord’s consent is required. This Lease shall be binding upon Tenant and its successors and permitted assigns. Upon Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s written notice of a desire to assign the Lease or sublet the entire Premises for the remainder of the Lease Term (other than to a Tenant Affiliate), Landlord may, by giving written notice to Tenant within 30 days after receipt of Tenant’s notice, terminate this Lease as of the date specified in Tenant’s notice for the commencement of the proposed assignment or sublease. Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved of all obligations accruing under this Lease after the effective date of such termination but not any obligations accruing under the Lease prior to the effective date of such termination.

Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Tenant and any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations shall remain liable for the payment of the Base Rent, Taxes, the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses and other amounts due under this Lease, and compliance with all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease (regardless of whether Landlord’s approval has been obtained for any such assignments or sublettings). In the event that the rent due by a sublessee or assignee (or a combination of the rent plus any bonus or other consideration therefor) exceeds the rental payable under this Lease, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord [***] of such excess, after subtracting all reasonable and customary expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with such sublease or assignment, including, but not limited to, brokerage commissions, attorney’s fees, the cost of demising the Premises, and any improvement allowance or free rent period given the subtenant or assignee, as additional rent within 10 days following receipt by Tenant.

If this Lease is assigned or if the Premises are subleased (whether in whole or in part), or if the Premises are occupied by anyone other than Tenant, then upon an Event of Default Landlord may collect rent from any occupant and, except to the extent set forth in the preceding paragraph, apply the amount collected to the next rent payable hereunder.

 

19.

Indemnification. Except for the negligence of the Landlord Parties, their agents, employees or contractors, Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from and against all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) resulting from claims by third parties for injuries to any person and damage to or theft or misappropriation or loss of property occurring in or about the Project and arising from the use and occupancy of the Premises or from any activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises or due to any other act or omission of Tenant, its subtenants, assignees, invitees, employees, contractors and agents. The furnishing of insurance required hereunder shall not be deemed to limit Tenant’s obligations under this Paragraph.

 

- 14 -


Except for the negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors, and to the extent permitted by law, Landlord agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant, and Tenant’s agents, employees and contractors, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) resulting from claims by third parties for injuries to any person and damage to or theft or misappropriation or loss of property occurring in or about the Project and arising from any activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Landlord in or about the Project and arising from any other act or omission of Landlord, its assignees, invitees, employees, contractors and agents. The furnishing of insurance required hereunder shall not be deemed to limit Landlord’s obligations under this Paragraph 19.

If a claim under the foregoing indemnity is made against the indemnitee which the indemnitee believes to be covered by an indemnitor’s indemnification obligations hereunder, the indemnitee shall promptly notify the indemnitor of the claim and, in such notice shall offer to the indemnitor the opportunity to assume the defense of the claim within 10 business days after receipt of the notice (with counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnitee). If the indemnitor timely elects to assume the defense of the claim, the indemnitor shall have the right to settle the claim on any terms it considers reasonable and without the indemnitee’s prior written consent, as long as the settlement shall not require the indemnitee to render any performance or pay any consideration, and the indemnitee shall not have the right to settle any such claim. If the indemnitor fails to timely elect to assume the defense of the claim or fails to defend the claim with diligence, then the indemnitee shall have the right to take over the defense of the claim and to settle the claim on any terms the indemnitee considers reasonable. Any such settlement shall be valid as against the indemnitor. If the indemnitor assumes the defense of a claim, the indemnitee may employ its own counsel but such employment shall be at the sole expense of the indemnitee. If any such claim arises out of the negligence of both Landlord and Tenant, responsibility for such claim shall be allocated between Landlord and Tenant based on their respective degrees of negligence. This indemnity does not cover claims arising from the presence or release of Hazardous Materials.

 

20.

Inspection and Access. Landlord and its agents, representatives, and contractors may enter the Premises at any reasonable time and upon reasonable advance verbal notice to Tenant to inspect the Premises, for any business purpose, and, during the last year of the Lease Term, to show the Premises to prospective tenants. Landlord may erect a suitable sign on the Project stating the Premises are available to lease or that the Project is available for sale. Landlord may grant easements, make public dedications, designate and modify common areas and create restrictions affecting the Project, provided that no such easement, dedication, designation, modification or restriction materially interferes with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises. At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute such instruments as may be reasonably necessary for such easements, dedications or restrictions.

 

21.

Quiet Enjoyment. For so long as there is no Event of Default, Tenant shall, subject to the terms of this Lease have peaceful and quiet enjoyment of the Premises against any person claiming by, through or under Landlord.

 

22.

Surrender. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term or 10 days following its earlier termination or of Tenant’s right of possession as a result of an Event of Default, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as received, ordinary wear and tear, casualty loss and condemnation covered by Paragraphs 16 and 17 excepted and otherwise in accordance with the Move Out Conditions attached hereto. Any Trade Fixtures, Tenant-Made Alterations

 

- 15 -


  and property not so removed by Tenant as permitted or required herein shall be deemed abandoned and may be stored, removed, and disposed of by Landlord at Tenant’s expense, and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damages resulting from Landlord’s retention and disposition of such property. All outstanding Tenant obligations hereunder shall survive the termination of the Lease Term, including without limitation, indemnity obligations, payment of Taxes, and all obligations concerning the condition and repair of the Premises.

 

23.

Holding Over. If Tenant retains possession of the Premises after the Expiration Date, such possession shall be subject to immediate termination by Landlord, and all terms of this Lease shall be applicable during such holdover period (excluding any expansion or renewal option or other similar right or option), except that Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand, as Base Rent for the holdover period, an amount equal to [***]% of the then-effective Base Rent, computed on a monthly basis for each month or part thereof during such holding over. All other payments payable under this Lease shall continue under the terms of this Lease. In addition, Tenant shall be liable for all damages incurred by Landlord as a result of such holding over. No holding over by Tenant, whether with or without consent of Landlord, shall operate to extend this Lease except as otherwise expressly provided, and this Paragraph shall not be construed as consent for Tenant to retain possession of the Premises. For purposes of this Paragraph, “possession of the Premises” shall continue until, among other things, Tenant has delivered all keys to the Premises to Landlord, Landlord has complete control over the Premises, and Tenant has completely fulfilled all obligations required of it upon termination of the Lease concerning the condition and repair of the Premises which impair Landlord’s ability to release the Premises.

 

24.

Events of Default. Each of the following events shall be an event of default (“Event of Default”) by Tenant under this Lease:

 

  a)

Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Base Rent, Taxes, the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses, or any other payment required herein when due, and such failure shall continue for a period of 5 days from Tenant’s receipt of written notice form Landlord that same is past due.

 

  b)

Tenant or any guarantor or surety of Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall (A) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (B) commence any case, proceeding or other action seeking to have an order for relief entered on its behalf as a debtor or to adjudicate it as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or of any substantial part of its property (collectively a “proceeding for relief”); (C) become the subject of any proceeding for relief which is not dismissed within 60 days of its filing or entry; or (D) die or suffer a legal disability (if Tenant, guarantor, or surety is an individual) or be dissolved or otherwise fail to maintain its legal existence (if Tenant, guarantor or surety is a corporation, partnership or other entity).

 

  c)

Any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be cancelled or terminated or shall expire or shall be reduced or materially changed, except, in each case, as permitted in this Lease or Tenant fails to timely deliver to Landlord any certificate of insurance as required under Paragraph 10 of the Lease, and said failure is not cured within five (5) business days of Tenant’s receipt of written notice of such failure from Landlord.

 

- 16 -


  d)

Tenant shall vacate the Premises and fail to make arrangements reasonably acceptable to Landlord to ensure that (a) Tenant’s insurance for the Premises will not be voided or cancelled, (b) the Premises are secured and not subject to vandalism, and (c) the Premises will be properly maintained and maintaining the utility services.

Tenant shall fail to discharge any lien placed upon the Premises or Building in violation of this Lease within 20 days after receipt of actual notice any such lien or encumbrance is filed against the Premises.

 

  g)

Tenant shall fail to provide Landlord with an estoppel certificate within 10 days of receipt of written notice that same has not been provided within the time period required by Paragraph 29 below.

 

  h)

Tenant shall fail to comply with any provision of this Lease other than those specifically referred to in this Paragraph, and such default shall continue for more than 30 days after Landlord has given Tenant written notice of such default (said notice being in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required as a prerequisite to a forcible entry and detainer or similar action for possession of the Premises); provided, however, that Tenant shall not be in default under the circumstances described in this Paragraph 24 if Tenant has made diligent efforts to cure such default within the thirty (30) day period described therein, and thereafter proceeds continuously and diligently to cure such default within a commercially reasonable time.

 

25.

Landlord’s Remedies. Upon each occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, Landlord may at any time elect to: (a) terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession, (but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided), and/or (b) pursue any other remedies at law or in equity. Upon the termination of this Lease or termination of Tenant’s right of possession, it shall be lawful for Landlord, without formal demand or notice of any kind, to re-enter the Premises by summary dispossession proceedings or any other action or proceeding authorized by law and to remove Tenant and all persons and property therefrom. If Landlord re-enters the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to keep in place and use, or remove and store, all property at the Premises.

If Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant the sum of: all Base Rent, Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses, Taxes, and all other amounts accrued hereunder to the date of such termination; the value of the Base Rent for any periods of abated Monthly Base Rent based on the Monthly Base Rent amount that immediately follows such period of abatement; the cost of reletting the whole or any part of the Premises, including without

 

- 17 -


limitation brokerage fees and/or leasing commissions incurred by Landlord, and costs of removing and storing property, repairing or altering the Premises for a new tenant(s), and all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in pursuing its remedies, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs; and the excess of the then present value of the Base Rent, Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses, Taxes, and other amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease applicable during the period following the termination of this Lease to the Expiration Date stated in this Lease, over the present value of any net amounts which Tenant establishes Landlord can reasonably expect to recover by reletting the Premises for such period, taking into consideration the availability of acceptable tenants and other market conditions affecting leasing. Such present values shall be calculated at a discount rate equal to the 90-day U.S. Treasury bill rate at the date of such termination.

If Landlord terminates Tenant’s right to possession (but not this Lease) without terminating the Lease after an Event of Default, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises without thereby releasing Tenant from any liability hereunder and without demand or notice of any kind to Tenant; provided, however, (a) Landlord shall not be obligated to accept any tenant proposed by Tenant, (b) Landlord shall have the right to lease any other space controlled by Landlord first, and (c) any proposed tenant shall meet all of Landlord’s leasing criteria. Any reletting of the Premises shall be on such terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine (including without limitation a term different than the remaining Lease Term, rental concessions, alterations and repair of the Premises, lease of less than the entire Premises to any tenant and leasing any or all other portions of the Project before reletting the Premises). Landlord shall not be liable, nor shall Tenant’s obligations hereunder be diminished because of, Landlord’s failure to relet the Premises or collect rent due in respect of such reletting. For the purpose of such reletting Landlord is authorized to make any repairs, changes, alterations, or additions in or to the Premises as Landlord deems reasonably necessary or desirable. If the Premises are not relet, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages a sum equal to the amount of the rental reserved in this Lease for such period or periods, plus the cost of recovering possession of the Premises (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit), the unpaid Base Rent, Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses, Taxes, and other amounts accrued hereunder at the time of repossession, and the costs incurred in any attempt by Landlord to relet the Premises. If the Premises are relet and a sufficient sum shall not be realized from such reletting after first deducting therefrom, for retention by Landlord, the unpaid Base Rent, Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses, Taxes, and other amounts accrued hereunder at the time of reletting, the cost of recovering possession (including attorneys’ fees and costs of suit), all of the costs and expense of repairs, changes, alterations, and additions, the expense of such reletting (including without limitation brokerage fees and leasing commissions) and the cost of collection of the rent accruing therefrom to satisfy the rent provided for in this Lease to be paid, then Tenant shall immediately satisfy and pay any such deficiency. Any such payments due Landlord shall be made upon demand and Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums as they become due. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect in writing to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.

 

- 18 -


Except for Landlord’s termination of this Lease, Landlord’s exercise of any remedies shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of surrender of the Premises and/or a termination of this Lease by Landlord except by written agreement of Landlord and Tenant. Any law, usage, or custom to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall have the right at all times to enforce the provisions of this Lease in strict accordance with the terms hereof; and the failure of Landlord at any time to enforce its rights under this Lease strictly in accordance the terms hereof shall not be construed as having created a custom in any way or manner contrary to the specific terms, provisions, and covenants of this Lease or as having modified the same. Tenant and Landlord further agree that forbearance or waiver by Landlord to enforce its rights pursuant to this Lease or at law or in equity, shall not be a waiver of Landlord’s right to enforce one or more of its rights in connection with any subsequent Event of Default. Receipt by Landlord of rent or other payment with knowledge of the breach of any covenant hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by Landlord. To the greatest extent permitted by law, Tenant waives all right of redemption in case Tenant shall be dispossessed by a judgment or by warrant of any court or judge. The terms “enter,” “re-enter,” “entry” or “re-entry,” as used in this Lease, are not restricted to their technical legal meanings.

 

26.

Tenant’s Remedies/Limitation of Liability. Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder within 30 days after written notice from Tenant specifying such failure (unless such performance will, due to the nature of the obligation, require a period of time in excess of 30 days, then after such period of time as is reasonably necessary). All obligations of Landlord shall be construed as covenants, not conditions; and, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant may not terminate this Lease for breach of Landlord’s obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if such default by Landlord shall occur, Tenant may pursue any legal or equitable remedy for which it is entitled. All obligations of Landlord under this Lease will be binding upon Landlord only during the period of its ownership of the Premises and not thereafter. The term “Landlord” in this Lease shall mean only the then current owner of the Premises, and in the event of a transfer of the Premises, such owner shall be released and discharged from all obligations of Landlord thereafter accruing, but such obligations shall be binding during the Lease Term upon each new owner for the duration of such owner’s ownership. Any liability of Landlord under this Lease shall be limited solely to its interest in the Building, and, except as specifically provided in the next sentence, in no event shall any personal liability be asserted against Landlord in connection with this Lease nor shall any recourse be had to any other property or assets of Landlord. Landlord’s interest in the Premises shall be deemed to include (i) rent payments and other income and profits derived by and from the Premises, and (ii) the net proceeds of insurance received by Landlord from any casualty loss of all or any portion of the Premises, after Tenant obtains a final judgment against Landlord.

 

27.

Subordination. Without the necessity of any further instrument or act of Tenant, this Lease and Tenant’s interest and rights hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any existing or future first mortgage on the Building, and all amendments, modifications, assignments and extensions thereof. Tenant agrees, at the election of the holder of any such mortgage, to attorn to any such holder. Tenant agrees within ten (10) days of demand to execute, acknowledge and deliver such reasonable instruments, confirming such subordination and such instruments of attornment as shall be requested by any such holder; provided such instruments do not increase, or modify, Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

 

- 19 -


Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such holder may at any time subordinate its mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant’s consent, by notice in writing to Tenant. The term “mortgage” whenever used in this Lease shall be deemed to include deeds of trust, security assignments and any other encumbrances, and any reference to the “holder” of a mortgage shall be deemed to include the beneficiary under a deed of trust. Landlord represents to Tenant that as of the date hereof the Building is not subject to or encumbered by a mortgage. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Paragraph 27, this Lease and Tenant’s interest in the Premises shall not be subordinate to any future mortgage or deed of trust on the Building, and Tenant shall not be obligated to execute an instrument subordinating this Lease or Tenant’s interest in the Premises to any future mortgage or deed of trust on the Building, unless concurrently with such subordination the holder of such mortgage or deed of trust agrees in such instrument of subordination not to disturb Tenant’s possession of the Premises (so long as no default exists under the Lease) in the event such holder acquires title to the Premises through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise.

 

28.

Mechanic’s Liens. Tenant has no express or implied authority to create or place any lien or encumbrance of any kind upon, or in any manner to bind the interest of Landlord or Tenant in, the Premises or this Lease. Tenant covenants and agrees that it will save and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, cost or expense based on or arising out of claims or liens asserted against the leasehold estate, the interest of Landlord in the Premises, or under this Lease. Tenant shall give Landlord prompt written notice of any lien or encumbrance placed against the Premises of which it becomes aware and cause such lien or encumbrance to be discharged, or bonded over in a manner satisfactory to Landlord, within 20 days of receipt of actual notice of the filing or recording thereof.

 

29.

Estoppel Certificates. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord or Landlord’s designee, within ten (10) days after request of Landlord, any estoppel certificate containing customary provisions requested by Landlord. No cure or grace period provided in this Lease shall apply to Tenant’s obligations to timely deliver an estoppel certificate. In the event Tenant fails to timely deliver the estoppel certificate as provided above, Landlord shall have the right to deliver to Tenant a second request for such estoppel certificate, and Tenant shall deliver such estoppel certificate no later than five (5) days from receipt of such second notice. Except as expressly provided otherwise above, no cure or grace period provided in this Lease shall apply to Tenant’s obligations to timely deliver an estoppel certificate.

 

30.

Environmental Requirements. Except for Hazardous Materials contained in products used by Tenant in de minimis quantities for ordinary cleaning and office purposes, propane used in Tenant’s forklifts in the normal course of its business, and contained in products stored and/or distributed during Tenant’s normal course of business in their original, sealed, and unopened containers, Tenant shall not permit or cause any party to bring any Hazardous Material upon the Premises or transport, store, use, generate, manufacture or release any Hazardous Material in or about the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall operate its business in the Premises in strict compliance with all Environmental Requirements and shall remediate in a manner satisfactory to Landlord any Hazardous Materials released on or from the Project by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, subtenants or invitees (“Tenant Parties”). Tenant shall complete and certify disclosure statements requested by Landlord relating to Tenant’s transportation, storage, use, generation,

 

- 20 -


  manufacture or release of Hazardous Materials on the Premises. The term “Environmental Requirements” means all applicable present and future statutes, regulations, ordinances, rules, codes, judgments, orders or other similar enactments of any governmental authority or agency regulating or relating to health, safety, or environmental conditions on, under, or about the Premises or the environment, including without limitation, the following: the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; and all state and local counterparts thereto, and any regulations or policies promulgated or issued thereunder. The term “Hazardous Materials” means and includes any substance, material, waste, pollutant, or contaminant listed or defined as hazardous or toxic, under any Environmental Requirements, asbestos and petroleum, including crude oil or any fraction thereof, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas, or synthetic gas usable for fuel (or mixtures of natural gas and such synthetic gas). As defined in Environmental Requirements, Tenant is and shall be deemed to be the “operator” of Tenant’s “facility” and the “owner” of all Hazardous Materials brought on the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, and the wastes, by-products, or residues generated, resulting, or produced therefrom. No cure or grace period provided in this Lease shall apply to Tenant’s obligations to promptly commence and diligently pursue its remediation obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Paragraph.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph, Tenant shall have no liability of any kind to Landlord as to Hazardous Materials on the Premises existing prior to the Tenant first occupied the Premises, or which were caused or permitted by (i) Landlord, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees; or (ii) any other tenants in the Project or their agents, employees, contractors, subtenants, assignees or invitees.

Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold the Landlord Parties harmless from and against any and all losses (including, without limitation, diminution in value of the Premises or the Project and loss of rental income from the Project), claims, demands, actions, suits, damages (including, without limitation, punitive damages), expenses (including, without limitation, remediation, removal, repair, corrective action, or cleanup expenses), and costs (including, without limitation, actual attorneys’ fees, consultant fees or expert fees and including, without limitation, removal or management of any asbestos brought into the property or disturbed in breach of the requirements of this Paragraph, regardless of whether such removal or management is required by law) which are brought or recoverable against, or suffered or incurred by Landlord as a result of any release of Hazardous Materials for which Tenant is obligated to remediate as provided above or any other breach of the requirements under this Paragraph by Tenant, or Tenant Parties, regardless of whether Tenant had knowledge of such noncompliance. The obligations of Tenant under this Paragraph shall survive any termination of this Lease.

Landlord shall have access to, and a right to perform inspections and tests of, the Premises to determine Tenant’s compliance with Environmental Requirements, its obligations under this Paragraph, or the environmental condition of the Premises. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of such inspection and tests if such inspections or tests reveal that Tenant has not complied with any Environmental Requirement. Landlord’s receipt of or satisfaction with any environmental assessment in no way waives any rights that Landlord holds against Tenant.

 

- 21 -


31.

Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall comply with all reasonable rules and regulations established by Landlord covering use of the Premises and the Project. The current Project rules and regulations are attached hereto as Exhibit B. Landlord shall not have any liability or obligation for the breach of any rules or regulations by other tenants in the Project. In the event of an inconsistency between the rules and regulations and the terms of this Lease, the terms of the Lease shall control.

 

32.

Security Service. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, while Landlord may patrol the Project, Landlord is not providing any security services and that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for, and Tenant waives any claim against Landlord with respect to, any loss by theft or any other damage suffered or incurred by Tenant in connection with any unauthorized entry into the Premises or any other breach of security with respect to the Premises.

 

33.

Force Majeure. Except for monetary obligations, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be responsible for delays in the performance of its obligations hereunder caused by labor disputes, acts of God, inability to obtain labor or materials, governmental restrictions or regulations or delay in issuance of permits, enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion, casualty, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be (“Force Majeure”).

 

34.

Any prior agreements, promises, negotiations, or representations are superseded by this Lease. This Lease may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto.

 

35.

Severability. If any clause of this Lease is illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, then and in that event, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such clause be replaced with a valid clause of similar meaning and that the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby.

 

36.

Each party represents and warrants to the other that it has dealt with no broker, agent or other person in connection with this transaction and that no broker, agent or other person brought about this transaction, other than the Landlord Broker and Tenant Broker, if any, set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Lease, and each party agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any claims by any other broker, agent or other person claiming a commission or other form of compensation by virtue of having dealt with the indemnifying party with regard to this leasing transaction.

EXHIBIT D: MOVE-OUT CONDITIONS

Tenant shall surrender the Premises in the same condition as received, ordinary wear and tear, casualty loss, and condemnation covered by Paragraphs 16 and 17 excepted.

Before surrendering the Premises, Tenant shall remove all of its personal property, trade fixtures, and such alterations or additions to the Premises made by Tenant as may be specified for removal thereof. If Tenant fails to remove such personal property, trade fixtures, and alterations upon the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease, the same shall be deemed abandoned and shall become the property of the Landlord. The following list is designed to assist Tenant in the move-out procedures but is not intended to be all inclusive. Upon Tenant’s completion of its surrender obligations as provided in this Lease, please contact Landlord’s property manager to coordinate turning in keys, utility changeover, and scheduling an inspection of the Premises. In the event Tenant fails to arrange a joint inspection of the Premises with Landlord upon Tenant’s vacating of the Premises, Landlord’s inspection at, or subsequent to, Tenant’s vacation of the Premises shall be conclusively deemed correct for the purpose of determining Tenant’s responsibilities with respect to the repair and restoration of the Premises.

 

1.    Lights:    All interior office, warehouse, emergency and exit lights will be fully operational with all bulbs and ballasts functioning.
2.    Dock Levelers, Service Doors and Roll Up Doors:    All truck doors, service doors, roll up doors and dock levelers shall be serviced and placed in good operating order, including the replacement of any dented or damaged truck door panels and adjustment of door tension to insure proper operation. All door panels which are replaced must be painted to match the building standard.

5.    Warehouse Floor:    Free of stains and swept with no racking bolts and other protrusions or holes left in floor. Cracks and racking bolts must be repaired with an mm-80 (or equivalent) epoxy or polymer to match concrete color.

In the event that Tenant triggers the applicability of ISRA at any time during the Lease Term then Tenant shall complete its ISRA compliance no later than ninety (90) days of the date ISRA is triggered or prior to the termination of the Lease, whichever is earlier. In particular, the Tenant agrees that it shall comply with the provisions of ISRA in the event of any “closing, terminating or transferring” of Tenant’s operations or any other event or transaction or circumstance defined as being subject to ISRA, pursuant to, and in accordance with, the regulations that have been promulgated pursuant to ISRA. In the event evidence of such compliance is not delivered to the Landlord prior to surrender of the Premises by the Tenant to the Landlord, it is understood and agreed that the Tenant shall be deemed in holdover as provided in the Lease until such time as evidence of compliance with ISRA has been delivered to the Landlord, and together with any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing and/or fulfilling Tenant’s obligations under this Addendum. Evidence of compliance, as used herein, shall mean a “no further action letter” issued by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“NJDEP”) or a Response Action Outcome (“RAO”) certified and submitted to the NJDEP by a Licensed Site Remediation Professional (“LSRP”) pursuant to the Site Remediation Reform Act (N.J.S.A. 58:10C-1 et seq.) hereinafter referred to as “SRRA” and all regulations promulgated thereto. Evidence of compliance shall be delivered to Landlord, together with copies of all submissions made to, and received from, the NJDEP, including all environmental reports, test results and other supporting documentation.

EXHIBIT G: [***] RENEWAL OPTION AT MARKET

(BASEBALL ARBITRATION)

(a) Extension Term; Extension Notice. Provided that as of the time of the giving of the First Extension Notice and the Commencement Date of the First Extension Term (as such terms are defined below), (x) Tenant is the Tenant originally named herein, (y) Tenant actually occupies all of the Premises initially demised under this Lease and any space added to the Premises, and (z) no Event of Default exists, or would exist but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both; then Tenant shall have the right to extend the Lease Term for [***] commencing on the day following the expiration of the Lease Term (hereinafter referred to as the “Commencement Date of the [***] Extension Term”). Tenant must give Landlord notice (hereinafter called the “[***] Extension Notice”) of its election to extend the term of the Lease Term at least [***], prior to the Expiration Date.

(b) Base Rental Rate. The Base Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord during the [***] Extension Term shall be the greater of:

(i) the Base Rent in effect on the Expiration Date (if the Base Rent is stated as an annual or other periodic rate, adjusted for the length of the Lease Term), and

(ii) the Fair Market Rent, as defined and determined pursuant to Paragraphs (c), (d), and (e) below.

(c) Fair Market Rent. The term “Fair Market Rent” shall mean the Base Rent, expressed as an annual rent per square foot of floor area, which Landlord would have received from leasing the Premises for the [***] Extension Term to an unaffiliated person which is not then a tenant in the Project, assuming that such space were to be delivered in “as-is” condition, and taking into account the rental which such other tenant would most likely have paid for such premises, including market escalations, provided that Fair Market Rent shall not in any event be less than the Base Rent for the Premises as of the expiration of the Lease Term. Fair Market Rent shall not be reduced by reason of any costs or expenses saved by Landlord by reason of Landlord’s not having to find a new tenant for the Premises (including without limitation brokerage commissions, cost of improvements necessary to prepare the space for such tenant’s occupancy, rent concession, or lost rental income during any vacancy period), but shall take into account market rental concessions and allowances for comparable lease renewals in the market. Fair Market Rent means only the rent component defined as Base Rent in the Lease and does not include reimbursements and payments by Tenant to Landlord with respect to Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses, Taxes, or other items payable or reimbursable by Tenant under the Lease. In addition to its obligation to pay Base Rent (as determined herein), Tenant shall continue to pay and reimburse Landlord as set forth in the Lease with respect to such Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses (subject to be increased by Landlord), Taxes, and other items with respect to the Premises during the [***] Extension Term. The arbitration process described below shall be limited to the determination of the Base Rent and shall not affect or otherwise reduce or modify the Tenant’s obligation to pay or reimburse Landlord for such Monthly Fixes Operating Expenses, Taxes, and other reimbursable items. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,

 

- 36 -


upon the determination of the Base Rent for the first twelve (12) months of the [***] Extension Term, whether through an agreement between Landlord and Tenant or through arbitration as provided below, the Base Rent shall automatically increase on each twelve (12) month anniversary thereafter during the [***] Extension Term by [***] percent over the Base Rent in effect immediately prior to such anniversary.

(d) Fair Market Rent Notification/Acceptance. Landlord shall notify Tenant of its determination of the Fair Market Rent for the [***] Extension Term, along with the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses and the Annual Fixed Operating Expense Increase, as determined in Landlord’s sole but reasonable determination, applicable to the [***] Extension Term (the “Fair Market Rent Notice”) within [***] of Tenant’s [***] Extension Notice, and Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord within [***] of receipt of the Fair Market Rent Notice of any objection to the Fair Market Rent Notice. Failure to respond within the [***] period shall constitute Tenant’s acceptance of such Fair Market Rent, Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses, and the Annual Fixed Operating Expense Increase. If Tenant objects, Landlord and Tenant shall commence negotiations to attempt to agree upon the Fair Market Rent within [***] of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice. If the parties cannot agree, each acting in good faith but without any obligation to agree, then the Lease Term shall not be extended and shall terminate on its scheduled termination date and Tenant shall have no further right hereunder or any remedy by reason of the parties’ failure to agree unless Tenant or Landlord invokes the arbitration procedure provided below to determine the Fair Market Rent. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall either party have the right to invoke the arbitration provision as provided herein until Landlord and Tenant have mutually agreed (or be deemed to have agreed) to the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses and Annual Fixed Operating Expense Increase applicable during the [***] Extension Term, and any attempt to invoke arbitration absent such agreement shall be null and void. The arbitration process described below shall be limited to the determination of the Base Rent and shall not affect or otherwise reduce or modify the Tenant’s obligation to pay or reimburse Landlord for the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses, Taxes, or any other reimbursable items.

(e) Arbitration. Arbitration to determine the Fair Market Rent shall be in accordance with the Real Estate Valuation Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Unless otherwise required by state law, arbitration shall be conducted in the metropolitan area where the Project is located by a single arbitrator unaffiliated with either party. Either party may elect to arbitrate by sending written notice to the other party and the Regional Office of the American Arbitration Association within [***] after the [***] negotiating period provided in Paragraph (d), invoking the binding arbitration provisions of this paragraph. Landlord and Tenant shall each submit to the arbitrator their respective proposal of Fair Market Rent. The arbitrator must choose between the Landlord’s proposal and the Tenant’s proposal and may not compromise between the two or select some other amount. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Fair Market Rent determined by the arbitrator shall not be less than, and the arbitrator shall have no authority to determine a Fair Market Rent less than, the Base Rent in effect as of the scheduled expiration of the Lease Term. The cost of the arbitration shall be paid by Landlord if the Fair Market Rent is that proposed by Tenant and by Tenant if the Fair Market Rent is that proposed by Landlord; and shall be borne equally otherwise. If the arbitrator has not determined the Fair Market Rent as of the end of the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay [***] percent of the Base Rent in effect under the Lease as of the end of the Lease Term until the Fair Market Rent is determined as provided herein. Upon such determination, Landlord and Tenant shall make the appropriate adjustments to the payments between them.

 

- 37 -


(f) Consent to Jurisdiction. The parties consent to the jurisdiction of any appropriate court to enforce the arbitration provisions of this Addendum and to enter judgment upon the decision of the arbitrator.

(g) Lease Terms/Provisions. Except for the Base Rent, Fixed Monthly Operating Expense Payment and Annual Fixed Operating Expense Increase, Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises during the First Extension Term shall be on the same terms and conditions as are in effect immediately prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term; provided, however, Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Lease Term pursuant to this addendum or to any allowances, credits or abatements or options to expand, contract, renew or extend the Lease.

(h) Failure to Give Extension Notice. If Tenant does not send the [***] Extension Notice within the period set forth in Paragraph (a), Tenant’s right to extend the Lease Term shall automatically terminate. Time is of the essence as to the giving of the [***] Extension Notice and the notice of Tenant’s objection under Paragraph (d).

(i) As-Is Condition. Landlord shall have no obligation to refurbish or otherwise improve the Premises for the First Extension Term. The Premises shall be tendered on the Commencement Date of the [***] Extension Term in “as-is” condition. Nothing herein shall limit or otherwise affect Landlord’s maintenance obligations under this Lease.

(j) Amendment Preparation. If the Lease is extended for the [***] Extension Term, then Landlord shall prepare and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease confirming the extension of the Lease Term, the Base Rent, the Monthly Fixed Operating Expenses, and the Annual Fixed Operating Expense Increase applicable to the [***] Extension Term, and the other provisions applicable thereto (the “Amendment”).

(k) Lease Term. If Tenant exercises its right to extend the term of the Lease for the [***] Extension Term pursuant to this Addendum, the term “Lease Term” as used in the Lease, shall be construed to include, when practicable, the [***] Extension Term except as provided in (g) above.
