R E C I T A L S
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Lease dated March 20, 2014 (the Lease), for the lease of approximately 119,583 rentable square feet of space (the Original Premises), commonly known as 3560 Bassett Street and 3580 Bassett Street, located in those certain buildings the addresses of which are 35503580 Bassett Street, Santa Clara, California (the Building). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Lease;
WHEREAS, Tenant previously assigned Tenants interest under the Lease to that portion of the Original Premises commonly known as 3580 Bassett Street, Santa Clara, California (the 3580 Bassett Premises), to EoTech, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company (EoTech), pursuant to that certain Lease Assignment Agreement dated as of December 30, 2021 (the EoTech Assignment), by and between Tenant, as Assignor, and EoTech, as Assignee;
WHEREAS, upon the expiration of the current Lease Term, EoTech desires to enter into a direct lease with Landlord for a portion of the 3580 Bassett Premises and Tenant desires to extend the term of Tenants lease of that portion of the Original Premises commonly known as 3560 Basset Street, Santa Clara, California (the 3560 Bassett Premises), consisting of a total of approximately 75,376 rentable square comprised of approximately 58,608 rentable square feet on the first (1st) floor of the 3560 Premises and approximately 16,768 rentable square feet on the second (2nd) floor of the 3560 Bassett Premises;
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire by this First Amendment to amend the Lease in order to, among other things, (a) extend the Lease Term with respect to the 3560 Bassett Premises for an additional sixty-three (63) month period; (b) provide for the Base Monthly Rent to be paid by Tenant for the 3560 Bassett Premises during the Extension Term (as defined below); and (c) further amend, modify and supplement the Lease as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the 3560 Bassett Premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:
1. Recitals. The Recitals set forth above are incorporated herein as though set forth in full herein.
2. Extension of Lease Term. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Lease Term expires according to the terms of the Lease on March 31, 2024. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Landlord and Tenant agree that the Lease Term shall be extended with respect to the 3560 Bassett Premises only commencing on April 1, 2024 (the Extension Term Commencement Date) and terminating on June 30, 2029 (the Extension Term Expiration Date), unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the Lease. The period from April 1, 2024 through June 30, 2029 shall be referred to herein as the Extension
1
Term. From and after the Extension Term Commencement Date, all references to the Premises contained in the Lease shall be amended to mean and refer to the 3560 Bassett Premises. Tenant acknowledges that, except as provided in Section 8 below, Tenant has no option or right to extend the Lease Term beyond the Extension Term.
3. Base Monthly Rent During the Extension Term. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary and in addition to paying all other amounts due under the Lease, including, without limitation, Tenants Share of Operating Expenses for the 3560 Bassett Premises, Tenant shall pay Base Monthly Rent for the 3560 Bassett Premises during the Extension Term according to the following schedule:

* | Subject to abatement of Base Monthly Rent for the three (3) month period commencing on April 1, 2024 and ending on June 30, 2024 pursuant to Section 4 below. |
4. Abatement of Three (3) Months of Base Monthly Rent for the 3560 Bassett Premises. During the three (3) month period commencing on April 1, 2024, and ending on June 30, 2024 (the Rent Abatement Period), Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Base Monthly Rent otherwise attributable to the 3560 Bassett Premises during such Rent Abatement Period (the Rent Abatement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease, Tenant shall be required to pay Tenants Share of Operating Expenses attributable to the 3560 Bassett Premises and all other Additional Rent due pursuant to the terms of the Lease during the Rent Abatement Period. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the aggregate amount of the Rent Abatement equals $407,030.40. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing Rent Abatement has been granted to Tenant as additional consideration for entering into this First Amendment, and for agreeing to pay the rental and perform the terms and conditions otherwise required under the Lease, as amended by this First Amendment. If the Lease is terminated for any reason other than a mutual termination of the Lease, Landlords breach of the Lease, or an event of casualty or condemnation (which shall be governed by the terms of Articles 11 and 12 respectively, of the Lease), then, for purposes of calculating Landlords damages, if any, the dollar amount of the unapplied portion of the Rent Abatement as of the date of such default or termination, as the case may be, shall be converted to a credit to be applied to the Base Monthly Rent applicable at the end of the Lease Term and Tenant shall immediately be obligated to begin paying Base Monthly Rent for the 3560 Bassett Premises in full.
5. Tenants Share of Operating Expenses. During the Extension Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, Tenants Share of Operating Expenses in accordance with the terms and provisions of Article 8 of the Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Landlord and Tenant agree that, effective as of the Extension Term Commencement Date, Section G of the Summary of Basic Lease Terms attached to the Lease and all references in the Lease to Tenants Share shall be amended to mean 44.95% of the buildings that comprise the Building based on the ratio that the rentable square footage of the 3560 Bassett Premises (i.e., 75,376 rentable square feet) bears to the total rentable square footage in the Building (i.e., 167,704 rentable square feet).
2
6. Condition of the 3560 Bassett Premises; Tenant Improvement Allowance. Tenant acknowledges that it has been and continues to be in possession of the 3560 Bassett Premises, is familiar with the condition of the 3560 Bassett Premises and accepts the 3560 Bassett Premises in its presently existing, AS-IS condition, with all faults and without representation, warranty or improvements by Landlord of any kind whatsoever, except as expressly provided in this Section 6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease or this First Amendment, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a one-time tenant improvement allowance in the amount of Four and No/100 Dollars ($4.00) per rentable square foot of the 3560 Premises (i.e., $301,504.00) for Tenants costs relating to the initial design and construction of permanently affixed improvements to the Premises in accordance with, and pursuant to the terms and conditions of, the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference (the Tenant Work Letter). Landlord hereby informs Tenant that the 3560 Bassett Premises have not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp). The foregoing verification is included in this First Amendment solely for the purpose of complying with California Civil Code Section 1938 and shall not in any manner affect Landlords and Tenants respective responsibilities for compliance with construction-related accessibility standards as provided under the Lease. Tenant hereby acknowledges that the Project, the Building and the 3560 Bassett Premises have not undergone inspection by a CASp. As required by Section 1938(e) of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby states as follows: A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises. In furtherance of the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that any CASp inspection requested by Tenant shall be conducted by a CASp inspector approved by Landlord at Tenants sole cost and expense and any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the 3560 Bassett Premises disclosed by such inspection shall be performed by Tenant at its sole cost and expense.
7. Extension of Letter of Credit Expiration Date. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Landlord is holding a Letter of Credit (the L-C) under the Lease in the amount of $600,000.00 (the L-C Amount), pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of Section 3.5 of the Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that the L-C shall remain in effect until the date which is sixty (60) days after the Extension Term Expiration Date (i.e., until August 31, 2029) (the New LC Expiration Date). Tenant shall deliver a new L-C or certificate of renewal or extension to Landlord at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of current L-C held by Landlord, without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord, which new L-C shall be irrevocable and automatically renewable through the New LC Expiration Date upon the same terms as the expiring L-C or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord in its reasonable discretion. In furtherance of the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree that the L-C shall contain a so-called evergreen provision, whereby the L-C will automatically be renewed unless at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of non-renewal is provided by the issuer to Landlord; provided, however, that the final expiration date identified in the L-C, beyond which the L-C shall not automatically renew, shall not be earlier than new the LC Expiration Date.

8. Option to Extend Term.
(a) Option Right. Landlord hereby grants to the originally named Tenant herein (the Original Tenant) one (1) option to extend the Lease Term for a period of five (5) years (the Option Term). Such option shall be irrevocably exercised only by written notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord no earlier than fifteen (15) months and no later than six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Extension Term, provided that the following conditions (the Option Conditions) are satisfied: (i) as of the date of delivery of such notice, Tenant is not in default under the Lease; (ii) as of the end of the Extension Term, Tenant is not in default under the Lease; (iii) Tenant has not previously been in default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods; and (iv) the Lease then remains in full force and effect and Original Tenant occupies the entire Premises at the time the option to extend is exercised and as of the commencement of the Option Term. Landlord may, at Landlords option, exercised in Landlords sole and absolute discretion, waive any of the Option Conditions in which case the option, if otherwise properly exercised by Tenant, shall remain in full force and effect. Upon the proper exercise of such option to extend, and provided that Tenant satisfies all of the Option Conditions (except those, if any, which are waived by Landlord), the Lease Term, as it applies to the entire 3560 Bassett Premises, shall be extended for a period of five (5) years. The rights contained in this Section 8 shall be personal to Original Tenant and may be exercised by Original Tenant only (and not by any assignee, sublessee or other Transferee, of Tenants interest in the Lease).
(b) Option Rent. The annual Rent payable by Tenant during the Option Term (the Option Rent) shall be equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Fair Market Rent, as that term is defined below, for the 3560 Premises as of the commencement date of the Option Term. The term Fair Market Rent for purposes of determining Base Monthly Rent during the Option Term shall mean the base monthly rent generally applicable to premises at comparable class buildings of comparable size, age and quality as the 3560 Bassett Premises in the Santa Clara area projected as of the first day of the Option Term by giving due consideration for the age and quality of the Building and improvements therein (including the quality of the then existing improvements in the 3560 Bassett Premises), for a term comparable to the Option Term at the time the commencement of the Option Term is scheduled to commence, and for comparable space that is not subleased or subject to another partys expansion rights or not leased to a tenant that holds an ownership interest in the landlord, taking into account rental structure, including, without limitation, rental rates per rentable square foot (including whether gross or net, and if gross adjusting for base year or expense stop), additional rental, all other payments and escalations, the size of the Premises compared to the size of the premises of the comparison leases, and taking into consideration then-prevailing market concessions for similarly situated tenants entering into similar leases, including free rent and leasehold improvements and/or allowances, including the amounts thereof in renewal leases, and taking into account, in the case of renewal leases (including this Lease), the value of existing leasehold improvements, but without any deduction for commissions whether or not incurred by Landlord, and otherwise subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease that will be applicable during the Option Term.
(c) Determination of Option Rent. In the event Tenant timely and appropriately exercises its option to extend the Lease Term pursuant to Section 8(a), above, Landlord shall deliver written notice (the Landlord Response Notice) to Tenant on or before the date which is thirty (30) days after Landlords receipt of the Exercise Notice of Landlords determination of the Option Rent. Within ten (10) business days following its receipt of the Landlord Response Notice, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether it accepts or objects to the Option Rent set forth in Landlords Response Notice. If Tenant fails to accept or object to the Option Rent set forth in Landlords Response Notice within such ten (10) business day period, the Option Rent applicable
4
during the Option Term shall be the amount set forth in Landlords Response Notice. In the event that Tenant in good faith objects to Landlords determination of the Option Rent within the aforementioned ten (10) business day period, then Landlord and Tenant shall meet and attempt to agree upon the Option Rent using their best good-faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within thirty (30) days of Tenants objection to Landlords Option Rent (the Outside Agreement Date), then the Option Rent shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with Section 8(c)(i) through Section 8(c)(iv), below.
(i) Within ten (10) business days after the Outside Agreement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall agree upon a list of three (3) independent, unaffiliated real estate brokers with at least ten (10) years full-time experience leasing institutionally-owned commercial properties within ten (10) miles of the Project. Within five (5) days after agreement upon the list of brokers, Landlord and Tenant shall meet and each shall have the right to disqualify one (1) of the brokers until only one (1) broker (Arbitrator) has not been disqualified by either Landlord or Tenant.
(ii) Within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the Arbitrator, each party shall make a separate determination of the Option Rent and submit its determination of the Option Rent to the Arbitrator and the Arbitrator shall independently determine the Option Rent. The Option Rent shall equal the Option Rent submitted by Landlord or Tenant that is closest to the Option Rent determined by the Arbitrator. The determination of the Arbitrator in accordance with this Section 8(c) shall be final and binding on the parties and a judgment may be rendered thereon in a court of competent jurisdiction.
(iii) If the parties fail to select the three (3) qualified brokers or the Arbitrator, either Landlord or Tenant by giving ten (10) days written notice to the other party, can apply to the American Arbitration Association office in the county in which the Premises is located for the selection of the Arbitrator who meets the qualifications stated in this Section.
(iv) The cost of arbitration shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally.
In the event that the Option Rent shall not have been determined pursuant to the terms hereof prior to the commencement of the Option Term, Tenant shall be required to pay the Option Rent, initially provided by Landlord to Tenant, and upon the final determination of the Option Rent, the payments made by Tenant shall be reconciled with the actual amounts due, and the appropriate party shall make any corresponding payment to the other party.
9. Restoration Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, (a) Tenant shall have no obligation to remove any permanently affixed Improvements or Tenant Alterations constructed or installed in the interior of the Premises in accordance with the terms of the Lease nor shall Tenant be obligated to restore the interior portion of the Premises to its original condition upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, and (b) Tenant shall be required to remove all personal property, including but not limited to, all equipment and storage containers, located in the Outside Areas highlighted in gold and red, and identified as Intevac and Shared, respectively, on Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, at Tenants sole cost and expense, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, and Tenant shall repair any damage to the Project caused by such removal and return any affected portions of the Project, including the Outside Areas, to the condition existing prior to the placement or installation of Tenants personal property in the Outside Areas. If Tenant fails to obtain Landlords approval for any Tenant Alterations (excluding Minor Alterations) as required under the Lease, or fails to comply with the requirements of any applicable Laws (including any
5
permit requirements) in constructing any Tenant Alterations or Improvements, then Landlord may require the removal, at Tenants expense, of all or any part of such Tenant Alterations or Improvements upon Landlords discovery of the same. If Tenant fails to remove any personal property, including, but not limited to, any equipment or storage containers, from the Outside Areas in accordance with this Section 9, then Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform such work and to charge the cost thereof to Tenant. In addition to the foregoing, at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant, at Tenants sole cost and expense, shall: (i) cause all Hazardous Materials located on, in or about any portion of the Premises, Building or Project by Tenant or a Tenant Agent, to be removed from the Premises, Building and Project, as applicable, and managed or disposed of in accordance with all Hazardous Materials Laws and as necessary to allow the Premises and the Outside Area to be used for any commercial purpose; and (ii) cause to be removed all containers installed or used by Tenant or Tenants Agents to store any Hazardous Materials on the Premises or the Outside Area, and cause to be repaired any damage to the Premises or Outside Area caused by such removal, in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Sections 7.2H, 15.2 and 15.17 of the Lease. The provisions of this Section 9 shall not change Tenants obligations under Section 5.2D of the Lease.
10. Separation of Equipment, Personal Property and Services.
(a) Separation of Equipment and Personal Property in Outside Areas. Pursuant to the EoTech Assignment, Tenant and EoTech agreed to reasonably cooperate with each other to facilitate the operation, maintenance and repair of their respective equipment and personal property in the Building 1 & 2 Outside Areas (as defined in the EoTech Assignment) through the remaining term of the Lease and use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid unreasonable interference with the other partys use of the Building 1 & 2 Outside Areas. In connection with the extension of Tenants lease of the 3560 Bassett Premises and the contemplated direct lease by EoTech of a portion of the 3580 Bassett Premises, Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenants and EoTechs sole cost and expense, for the separation of Tenants and EoTechs respective equipment and personal property located in the Building 1 & 2 Outside Areas, and, as provided in Section 9 above, upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall be responsible for the removal of all personal property, including but not limited to, all equipment and storage containers, located in the Outside Areas highlighted in gold and red, and identified as Intevac and Shared, respectively, on Exhibit B attached hereto.
(b) Separation of Services Provided to Adjacent Tenants. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant is currently providing compressed air, chilled water and nitrogen to adjacent tenants, EoTech and Comtech. Landlord and Tenant further acknowledge that Tenant and Eotech are working together to separate EoTech from the aforementioned services currently provided by Intevac, and Landlord and Tenant are endeavoring to work with Comtech to separate Comtech from the aforementioned services currently provided by Intevac.
11. Estoppel. Tenant hereby certifies and acknowledges, that as of the date hereof (a) Landlord is not in default in any respect under the Lease, (b) Tenant does not have any defenses to its obligations under the Lease, (c) Landlord is currently holding a Letter of Credit in the amount of $600,000.00 under the Lease, and (d) there are no offsets against rent payable under the Lease. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the representations herein set forth constitute a material consideration to Landlord in entering into this First Amendment; (ii) such representations are being made by Tenant for purposes of inducing Landlord to enter into this First Amendment; and (iii) Landlord is relying on such representations in entering into this First Amendment.
6
12. Brokers. Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that Tenant has not entered into any agreement or taken any other action which might result in any obligation on the part of Landlord to pay any brokerage commission, finders fee or other compensation with respect to this First Amendment, other than to Cushman & Wakefield and Mohr Partners, and Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any losses, damages, costs or expenses (including without limitation, attorneys fees) incurred by Landlord by reason of any breach or inaccuracy of such representation or warranty.
13. Ratification. Except as otherwise specifically herein amended, the Lease is and shall remain in full force and effect according to the terms thereof. In the event of any conflict between the Lease and this First Amendment, this First Amendment shall control.
14. Submission. Submission of this First Amendment by Landlord to Tenant for examination and/or execution shall not in any manner bind Landlord and no obligations on Landlord shall arise under this First Amendment unless and until this First Amendment is fully signed and delivered by Landlord and Tenant; provided, however, the execution and delivery by Tenant of this First Amendment to Landlord shall constitute an irrevocable offer by Tenant of the terms and conditions herein contained, which offer may not be revoked for thirty (30) days after such delivery.
15. Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This First Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Landlord and Tenant agree that this First Amendment may be executed by handwritten, digital or electronic signature and/or transmitted by facsimile, e-mail of a .pdf document or using electronic signature technology (e.g., via DocuSign or similar electronic signature technology), and that such signed electronic record shall be valid and as effective to bind the party so signing as a paper copy bearing such partys handwritten signature. Landlord and Tenant further agree that (a) to the extent a party signs this First Amendment using electronic signature technology, by clicking SIGN, such party is signing this First Amendment electronically, and (b) the electronic signatures appearing on this First Amendment shall be treated, for purposes of validity, enforceability and admissibility, the same as handwritten signatures.
