TO
IMPROVED PROPERTY COMMERCIAL LEASE
THIS SUPPLEMENTAL ADDENDUM, dated September 11, 2002, is incorporated into
and made a part of that certain Improved Property Commercial lease of even date
herewith (the "Lease") by and between XXXX AND XXXXXX XXXX dba P&S PROPERTIES
("Landlord") and LIQUIDMETAL TECHNOLOGIES, a California Corporation ("Tenant").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to hereby set forth certain terms and
conditions as a supplement to the Lease, and the terms and conditions set forth
in this Supplemental Addendum shall be incorporated into and made a part of the
Lease.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. In connection with Section 3(A) of the Lease, tenant shall have the
right to defined in the Lease), provided that tenant delivers to
Landlord written notice of renewal at lest three (3) months prior to
the Expiration Date. In the event of such a renewal, the base monthly
rent for the renewal term shall be equal to the market rate for the
premises (to be determined on the basis of other premises of a
comparable size, type, and location). Tenant and Landlord shall work
together in good faith to determine what such market rate shall be,
but if they cannot come to agreement on such market rate, then the
market rate shall be deemed to be equal to the average of (i) the
market rate as determined by a real estate appraiser selected by
Tenant, and (ii) the market rate as determined by a real estate
appraiser selected by Landlord.
2. Landlord, at its own cost and expense, shall cause to be maintained on
the leased premises fire insurance and other casualty insurance in
appropriate amounts for buildings of such type, size, nature, and use.
3. In connection with Section 8 and 10 and of the lease, Landlord and
Tenant agree that Tenant shall be permitted to bring only that
quantity of hazardous materials onto the leased premises necessary to
accomplish its own business and Tenant may utilize such materials
thereon, if and only if, Tenant secures all permits, licenses, and
approvals of any Federal, State, or local governmental agency
necessary for such activities (including any permits from OSHA or the
EPA) and complies with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in
connection with such activities and disposal of such chemicals, if
applicable. In connection with its responsibilities under Sections 8
and 10
respectively, tenant shall provide Landlord and Tenant's Insurer with
all material data safety sheets for each such hazardous chemical
intended to be brought on the premises and Tenant agrees to update
Landlord and Insurer as such chemicals change from time to time.
Tenant shall include in the insurance it purchases in compliance with
Paragraph No. 10 insurance sufficient to cover Landlord from hazards
typically associated with the use or storage of such hazardous
chemicals.
4. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant will be keeping proprietary and/or
confidential information and/or materials on the leased premises, and
Landlord agrees that if Landlord becomes aware of any nonpublic
information as a result of Landlord's access to the leased premises
(whether pursuant to Section 12 of the Lease or otherwise), then
Landlord agrees that Landlord will not disclose such information to
any third party without Tenant's prior written consent.
5. Notwithstanding Section 15(C) of the Lease, Landlord will repair any
items listed in Section 15(C ) if and to the extent that such items
are covered by a warranty held by Landlord.
6. In addition to Section 19 of the Lease, Landlord will indemnify and
hold Tenant harmless from any property damage, personal injury, suits,
actions, liabilities, damages, cost of repairs or service, or any
other loss caused, negligently or otherwise, by Landlord or Landlord's
employees, patrons, guests, or invitees.
7. Not withstanding the provisions of Section 22 of the Lease, at the
time that the Lease ends, Tenant may extend the term of the Lease for
a period of up to six (6) additional months at a monthly rental rate
period equal to 1.25 times the base monthly rent then in effect,
provided that tenant gives Landlord notice of Tenant's intent to
extend no later than three (3) months prior to the originally
scheduled Expiration Date for the Lease. This extension shall not
constitute a "holdover" and will not be deemed to be a breach of the
Lease. In the event of such a six-month extension, Tenant shall have
the right, upon expiration of such six-month extension, to renew the
Lease pursuant to paragraph 1 of this Supplemental Addendum.
8. Landlord acknowledges that all improvements and other work items
reflected on the Leasehold Construction Addendum (as attached to the
Lease) shall be at the sole cost and expense of Landlord.
9. Whenever the Lease requires Tenant to obtain the consent of Landlord
for a particular action or inaction, Landlord agrees that such consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. This
paragraph 9 shall apply to the entire Lease and all appendices,
attachments, addenda, and exhibits thereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Supplemental Addendum on the
day and year first written above.
