Sample Business Contracts
California-Redwood City-515 Galveston Drive Lease [Amendment No. 2] - Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. and Maxygen Inc.
Lease Forms
- Start a state-specific lease for the rental of commercial property. Specify the term and rent due, as well as whether the landlord or tenant is responsible for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance and repairs.
- When a tenant vacates commercial property before the lease term has expired, it may be able to rent the premises to a third party. The tenant would be the sublessor and the third party would be the sublessee. Besides preparing a sublease, both parties will want to review the provisions for assignment or subletting in the original lease agreement between the landlord and the sublessor.
- Tenants of residential property should prepare a sublease agreement if they are seeking to sublease a room or the entire apartment or house to a third party. All parties should review the original lease agreement to see if there are any restrictions on subletting or assigning the premises.
- Triple net leases are a type of commercial leases where the tenant has to pay for property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance, in addition to the monthly rent.
- When renting an office space, tenants should understand the amount of the rent and duration of the lease. Other important terms include whether the space can be subleased, which parties are responsible for maintenance, and whether any furniture and furnishings will be provided.
SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE
This Second Amendment to Lease ("Amendment") is entered into, and
dated for reference purposes, as of October 24, 2000 (the "Execution Date") by
and between METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, a New York corporation
("Metropolitan" or "Landlord"), as Landlord, and MAXYGEN, INC., a Delaware
corporation ("Tenant"), with reference to the following facts ("Recitals"):
A. Landlord and Tenant entered into that Lease (the " Original
Lease") dated as of October 21, 1998 for certain premises consisting of the
entire building known as 515 Galveston Drive (the "Original Premises" or "515
Galveston Premises") Redwood City, California, as amended by that First
Amendment to Lease dated as of February 26, 1999 (the "First Amendment") for the
lease of Expansion Space A (which may also be referred to as the "220 Penobscot
Premises") all as more particularly described in the Original Lease and First
Amendment.
B. Landlord and Tenant desire to provide for the lease to Tenant of
Expansion Space B (defined below), extension of the Expansion Space Term with
respect to Expansion Space A and other amendments of the Existing Lease subject
to and upon all of the conditions, terms and covenants provided in this
Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and of the mutual
covenants set forth herein and of other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree
as follows:
Section 1. Scope of Amendment; Defined Terms. Except as expressly
--------- ---------------------------------
provided in this Amendment, the Existing Lease shall remain in full force and
effect. Should any inconsistency arise between this Amendment and the Existing
Lease as to the specific matters which are the subject of this Amendment, the
terms and conditions of this Amendment shall control. The term "Existing Lease"
shall refer to the Original Lease, as amended by the First Amendment, before
giving effect to the modifications set forth in this Amendment, and the term
"Lease" as used herein and in the Existing Lease shall refer to the Existing
Lease as modified by this Amendment. The 515 Galveston Premises together with
the 220 Penobscot Premises may collectively be referred to herein as the
"Existing Premises". All capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not
defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Existing Lease unless
the context clearly requires otherwise.
Section 2. Condition Precedent. This Amendment and the obligations
--------- -------------------
of each party hereunder are expressly subject to the condition precedent of
Landlord successfully entering into and obtaining a legally binding written
agreement with Confer Software (formerly Araxys, Inc., and referred to herein as
"Confer") which is the existing tenant of Expansion Space B (defined below)
modifying Confer's pre-existing lease of Expansion Space B to provide for
Confer's surrender of possession and termination of Confer's rights to Expansion
Space B satisfactory in all respects in form and substance to Landlord, in
Landlord's sole discretion (the "Confer Termination Agreement"). If such
condition precedent is not satisfied by November 1, 2000, unless waived in
writing by Landlord in its sole discretion by November 1, 2000, this Amendment
shall be null and void, and of no force or effect, and Landlord shall refund the
payments submitted by Tenant at the time Tenant signs this Amendment for the
increased amount of the Security Deposit and advance payment of the initial
installment of Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustment Deposit allocable to
Expansion Space B. Landlord shall notify Tenant of the satisfaction of this
condition precedent either by (a) written notice to Tenant or (b) by tendering
to Tenant possession of Expansion Space B as described in Section 5 below.
Section 3. Extension of Term of Lease of the 220 Penobscot Premises
--------- --------------------------------------------------------
(a/k/a Expansion Space A); Amendment of Options to Extend. Notwithstanding any
---------------------------------------------------------
provision of the First Amendment or the Original Lease to the contrary:
(a) Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that as contemplated by
Section 4(c) of the First Amendment, the Expansion Space Term Expiration Date is
March 31, 2002, and that such Expansion Space Term is hereby extended for the
"Expansion Space Extended Term" commencing on April 1, 2002 and expiring
February 24, 2005 (the "Expansion Space Extended Expiration Date" or "ESEED"),
unless
Page 1
<PAGE>
sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of the Existing Lease. This extension is
only for the 220 Penobscot Premises. This extension is further upon and subject
to the same conditions, terms, covenants and agreements contained in the
Existing Lease except as otherwise provided in this Amendment. Landlord and
Tenant acknowledge and agree that this Amendment provides all rights and
obligations of the parties with respect to extension of the current Expansion
Space Term, whether or not in accordance with any other provisions, if any, of
the First Amendment or the Original Lease regarding such renewal or extension,
and any such provisions, options or rights for renewal or extension shall be of
no force or effect as to the 220 Penobscot Premises, and without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Tenant and Landlord acknowledge and agree that the
Expansion Option to Extend set forth in Section 5 of the First Amendment is
hereby deleted as of the Execution Date. Notwithstanding any provision above or
of Section 3 of Rider 2 of the Original Lease or of the Existing Lease to the
contrary, as of the Execution Date, the Option to Extend pursuant to Section 3
shall apply to the entire Premises (and not less than the entire Premises),
including the 515 Galveston Premises and the 220 Penobscot Premises and
Expansion Space B (defined below), and such Section 3 (including all references
therein to the "entire Premises as it may then exist") and the Existing Lease
are hereby amended accordingly.
(b) Tenant hereby leases for the Expansion Space Extended Term and
accepts the 220 Penobscot Premises in its AS IS condition, without any express
or implied representations or warranties of any kind by Landlord, its brokers,
manager or agents, or the employees of any of them regarding the 220 Penobscot
Premises; and Landlord shall not have any obligation to construct or install any
tenant improvements or alterations or to pay for any such construction or
installation. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant presently occupies and has
occupied the 220 Penobscot Premises since March 1, 1999.
(c) In addition to rent payable for the Original Premises, the amount
of Monthly Base Rent due and payable by Tenant for the 220 Penobscot Premises on
and after April 1, 2002 and monthly in advance on the first day of each month
thereafter through the Expansion Space Extended Expiration Date shall be the
amount equal to the product of the 16,714 square feet of Rentable Area of the
220 Penobscot Premises multiplied by the Monthly Base Rent rate per square foot
of Rentable Area in effect for the corresponding month for Expansion Space B as
set forth in the last column of the table of Section 5(g) below (which for the
first month of April, 2002 is at the monthly rate of $5.98 per square foot of
Rentable Area).
Section 4. Increase in the Security Deposit. Notwithstanding any
--------- --------------------------------
provision of the Existing Lease to the contrary, upon execution of this
Amendment Tenant shall pay Landlord Three Hundred and Seventy-four Thousand
Dollars ($374,000.00) to be held by Landlord to increase the amount of the
Security Deposit required in Section 1.01(14) of the Original Lease, as amended
by Section 3 of the First Amendment, from the amount of Four Hundred and Twenty-
six Thousand Dollars ($426,000.00) to the amount of Eight Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($800,000.00), which greater amount is the Security Deposit hereafter
required under the Lease.

--------------
hereby hires from Landlord Expansion Space B (defined below) upon and subject to

---------
Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that Expansion Space B is conclusively presumed

(b) AS-IS. Landlord shall deliver Expansion Space B to Tenant in its
-----
AS IS condition, without any express or implied representations or warranties of
any kind by Landlord, its brokers, manager or agents, or the employees of any of
them regarding Expansion Space B; and Landlord shall not have any obligation to
construct or install any tenant improvements or alterations or to pay for any
such construction or installation except to the extent of the Landlord's Maximum
Contribution as provided below in this Section 5(b). Landlord's Maximum
Contribution means an amount to reimburse Tenant for fifty percent (50%) of the
reasonable costs actually incurred by Tenant for the Ramp Work (defined below),
and shall be payable as provided below. Landlord's Maximum Contribution shall
be paid to Tenant within 30 days after the later of

<PAGE>
final completion of the Ramp Work and Landlord's receipt of (i) reasonable

defined in the Lease) and other Laws, including all applicable governmental
approvals of the plans for and completion of such work, (ii) final as-built
plans and specifications, (iii) full, final, unconditional lien releases, and
(iv) reasonable substantiation of costs incurred by Tenant with respect to the
Ramp Work. Tenant must prior to expiration of nine (9) months after the
Commencement Date submit written application with the items required above for
disbursement or reimbursement for any reimbursable costs out of the Landlord's
Maximum Contribution, and Landlord will not be obligated to consider any
application or submission not made or not complete prior to that date, or to
disburse any amount as to any such late or incomplete application or submission.
For purposes of this Amendment, the term "Ramp Work" shall mean the following:
(1) modifications or upgrades to the out-of-doors walkways and/or ramps to the
existing exterior entry doors to Expansion Space B only (and Tenant shall be
solely responsible for any such work, and the cost thereof, with respect to the
existing entry doors to the 220 Penobscot Premises), if and to the extent
required as of the Execution Date to comply with the ADA and other Laws, subject
to any applicable variance(s), as enforced and interpreted by applicable

Tenant possession of Expansion Space B promptly after Landlord recovers
possession of such space, which date may be earlier or later than November 1,
2000 (the "Projected Commencement Date"). Possession will be adequately
tendered to Tenant by Landlord either delivering the keys (or other means of
access) to Tenant or Tenant's Broker, or by Landlord giving written notice that
the keys (or other means of access) to Expansion Space B are available for
Tenant or its representative to pick up at the office of Landlord or of the

ESBCD Tenant's possession of the space shall be subject to all of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease, including payment of all Rent and other
amounts payable under the Lease, except as otherwise provided in this Amendment.

reason of the following: (i) the holding over or retention of possession of any
tenant, tenants or occupants, or (ii) for any other reason, then Landlord shall
not be subject to any liability for the failure to give possession on said date.
Under such circumstances the ESBCD shall be delayed by a number of days equal to
the days of delay in Landlord's delivery of possession to Tenant. No such
failure to give possession shall affect the validity of this Lease or the
obligations of the Tenant hereunder. Within thirty (30) days following the
occurrence of the ESBCD, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an agreement
(which is attached to this Amendment as Exhibit B) confirming the ESBCD. If
---------

--------------------------------------------------------
shall be responsible for the suitability for the Tenant's needs and business of
the design and function of all Tenant Work and for its construction in
compliance with all Law as applicable and as interpreted at the time of

day of each month thereafter for the Expansion Space B Term shall be as follows:
