Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future operating results and financial position, including profitability, our business strategy and plans, market growth, product and service releases, the status of product development, compliance with applicable listing requirements or standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), demand for our products and services, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases the words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “potential,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “plan,” “target,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about:
● | The success of our products, which will require significant capital resources and years of development efforts; |
● | Our deployments and market acceptance of our products; |
● | Our ability to protect our intellectual property and to develop, maintain and enhance a strong brand; |
● | Our limited operating history by which performance can be gauged; |
● | Our ability to continue as a going concern; |
● | Our ability to comply with all applicable listing requirements or standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market; |
● | Our ability to operate and collect digital information on behalf of our clients, which is dependent on the privacy laws of jurisdictions in which our Autonomous Security Robots (“ASR”) and Emergency Communication Devices (“ECD”) operate, as well as the corporate policies of our clients, which may limit our ability to fully deploy our technologies in various markets; |
● | Our ability to raise capital; and |
● | Our ability to manage our research, development, expansion, growth, and operating expenses. |
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated, including:
● | We have not yet generated any profits or significant revenues, anticipate that we will incur continued losses for the foreseeable future, and may never achieve profitability. |
● | The report of our independent registered public accounting firm expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and we may not be able to continue to operate the business if we are not successful in securing additional funding. |
● | We expect to experience future losses as we execute on our business strategy and will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, which may not occur. |
● | We may not be able to comply with all applicable listing requirements or standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market, and Nasdaq could delist our Class A Common Stock. |
3
● | We are subject to potential fluctuations in operating results due to our sales cycle. |
● | If we are unable to acquire new customers, our future revenues and operating results will be harmed. Likewise, potential customer turnover in the future, or costs we incur to retain our existing customers, could materially and adversely affect our financial performance. |
● | We are subject to the loss of contracts, due to terminations, non-renewals or competitive re-bids, which could adversely affect our results of operations and liquidity, including our ability to secure new contracts from other customers. |
● | Our future operating results are difficult to predict and may be affected by a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. |
● | Our financial results will fluctuate in the future, which makes them difficult to predict. |
● | Shifts in global economic conditions-including, but not limited to, changes in inflation, interest rates, tariffs, and other trade restrictions-could reduce customer spending and impact the financial stability of our clients and business partners. These effects may, in turn, negatively influence our financial health, operational performance, and available cash resources. |
● | Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, including events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults or non-performance by financial institutions, could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. |
● | We have a limited number of deployments, and limited market acceptance of our products could harm our business. |
● | We cannot assure you that we will effectively manage our growth. |
● | Our costs may grow more quickly than our revenues as we research and develop new products, harming our business and profitability. |
● | Any debt arrangements that we enter into may impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, which may prevent us from capitalizing on business opportunities. A breach of any of the restrictive covenants under such debt arrangements may cause us to be in default under our debt arrangements, and our lenders could foreclose on our assets. |
Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, performance, or achievements. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and we undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as required by applicable law.
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Knightscope” refer to Knightscope, Inc., unless the context requires otherwise.

NOTE 1: The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Knightscope, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a public safety innovator that builds Autonomous Security Robots (“ASR”) and Emergency Communication Devices (“ECD”). The Company designs, manufactures, and deploys its technologies to improve public safety and to protect the places people live, work, study and visit. The Company provides its cutting-edge solutions, including remote monitoring capabilities, to both the private sector and to government clients including law enforcement.
The Company operates in a highly fragmented U.S. public safety market that is experiencing strong demand for automation and artificial intelligence-driven solutions due to rising labor costs, staffing shortages, inconsistent service quality, and challenging crime rates. The Company’s solutions combine proactive physical deterrence with critical emergency response tools and remote monitoring, offering an integrated approach to public safety.
The Company was founded in April 2013 and is headquartered in Mountain View, California, the heart of Silicon Valley.
Basis of Presentation and Liquidity
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.
The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance U.S. GAAP, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the period presented. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year or for any future interim periods. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, the Company evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these condensed financial statements are issued.
The condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. Cash and cash equivalents on hand were $

The Company has
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal year 2024 condensed financial statements to conform to the fiscal year 2025 presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on total assets, total liabilities, or stockholders’ equity.
Comprehensive Loss
Net loss was equal to comprehensive loss for the three month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Specific accounts that require management estimates include, but are not limited to, estimating the useful lives of the Company’s ASRs, property and equipment and intangible assets, certain estimates required within revenue recognition, warranty and allowance for credit losses, determination of deferred tax valuation allowances, estimating fair values of the Company’s share-based awards, warrant liability, and derivative liabilities, inclusive of any contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the condensed financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in highly liquid instruments with, and in the custody of, financial institutions with high credit ratings.
Restricted Cash
The Company had restricted cash as collateral for the Company’s corporate credit card program which was discontinued during the first quarter of 2025. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of restricted cash was $
10
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company extends credit to clients in the normal course of business and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its clients. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable exist to the full extent of amounts presented in the financial statements. The Company does not require collateral from its clients to secure accounts receivable.
Accounts receivable was derived from the leasing of proprietary ASRs along with access to browser-based interface Knightscope Security Operations Center (“KSOC”) as well as the sale of ECDs. The Company reviews its receivables for collectibility based on historical loss patterns, aging of the receivables, and assessments of specific identifiable client accounts considered at risk or uncollectible and provides allowances for potential credit losses, as needed. The Company also considers any changes to the financial condition of its clients and any other external market factors that could impact the collectibility of the receivables in the determination of the allowance for credit losses. Based on these assessments, the Company recorded a $
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had one client whose accounts receivable balance totaled 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable (
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had one client who individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue, net (
Inventory
Inventory, principally purchased components, is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using an average cost, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory in excess of salable amounts and inventory which is considered obsolete based upon changes in existing technology is written off. At the point of loss recognition, a new lower cost basis for that inventory is established and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in the new cost basis.

Warranty Liability
The liability for estimated warranty claims is accrued at the time of sale and the expense is recorded in the condensed statements of operations in cost of revenue, net - product. The liability is established using historical warranty claim experience. The current provision may be adjusted to take into account unusual or non-recurring events in the past or anticipated changes in future warranty claims. Adjustments to the warranty accrual are recorded if actual claim experience indicates that adjustments are necessary. Warranty reserves are reviewed to ensure critical assumptions are updated for known events that may impact the potential warranty liability.

Convertible Preferred Warrant Liabilities and Common Stock Warrants
Freestanding warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s preferred stock were classified as liabilities on the balance sheets at their estimated fair value because the underlying shares of preferred stock were contingently redeemable and, therefore, may have obligated the Company to transfer assets at some point in the future. The preferred stock warrants were recorded at fair value upon issuance and were subject to remeasurement to their respective estimated fair values. At
13
the end of each reporting period, changes in the estimated fair value of the preferred stock warrants were recorded in the condensed statements of operations. The Company adjusted the liability associated with the preferred stock warrants for changes in the estimated fair value until the earlier of the exercise or conversion. On May 15, 2024, the preferred stock warrants converted into warrants to purchase common stock and any liabilities recorded for the preferred stock warrants were reclassified to additional paid-in capital and are no longer subject to remeasurement. Common stock warrants that are not considered derivative liabilities are accounted for at fair value at the date of issuance in additional paid-in capital.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which requires that the estimated fair value on the date of grant be determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the fair value recognized over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the option vesting period. The Company’s determination of the fair value of the stock-based awards on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, is affected by the fair value of the Company’s common stock as well as other assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee option exercise behaviors. Because there is insufficient historical information available to estimate the expected term of the stock-based awards, the Company adopted the simplified method of estimating the expected term of options granted by taking the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the option. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur when calculating stock-based compensation for its equity awards.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
Net loss per share of common stock is computed using the two-class method required for participating securities based on their participation rights. All series of convertible preferred stock are participating securities as the holders are entitled to participate in common stock dividends with common stock on an as converted basis. The voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and powers of the common stock are subject to and qualified by the rights, powers and preferences of any series of preferred stock as may be designated by the Company’s Board of Directors and outstanding from time to time. In accordance with the two-class method, earnings allocated to these participating securities, which include participation rights in undistributed earnings with common stock, are subtracted from net loss to determine net loss attributable to common stockholders upon their occurrence.
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders (net adjusted for preferred stock dividends declared or accumulated) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All participating securities are excluded from basic weighted average shares outstanding. In computing diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders, undistributed earnings are re-allocated to reflect the potential impact of dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by diluted weighted average shares outstanding, including potentially dilutive securities, unless anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 consist of the following:

As all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for each period.
On May 15, 2024 (the “Preferred Stock Conversion Date”), pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to date (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) each share of the Company’s Super Voting Preferred Stock (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) was automatically converted into fully-paid, non-assessable shares of Class B Common Stock and each share of the Company’s Ordinary Preferred Stock (together with the Super Voting Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”) was automatically converted into fully-paid, non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock, in each case at the then effective applicable Conversion Rate, (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation), as a result of the receipt by the Company of a written request for such conversion from the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Preferred Stock then outstanding. As a result, no shares of previously authorized Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

NOTE 2: Revenue and Deferred Revenue
Revenue Recognition
ASR related revenues
The Company derives its revenues from lease of proprietary ASRs along with access to the browser-based interface KSOC through contracts under the lease accounting that typically have a twelve (
ECD related revenues
The Company also derives revenues from sales of its ECDs and related services, such as installation, maintenance, and upgrades. Revenue is recognized when clients sign a full or partial certificate of completion, at which point, the Company can generate an invoice for its products and services. Clients also have the option to sign up for ongoing preventative and maintenance agreements. The maintenance revenue is recognized in the period the service is performed and the Company has determined that the term of the contracts has been fulfilled. Installation or upgrades revenue are recognized upon completion of the project/contracts. In certain cases, deferred revenue is recognized to account for unfinished contracts.
The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
● | identification of the contract, or contracts, with a client; |
● | identification of the performance obligations in the contract |
● | determination of the transaction price; |
● | allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
● | recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
ASR subscription revenue
The Company recognizes ASR subscription revenue as follows:
ASR subscription revenue is generated from the lease of proprietary ASRs along with access to the browser-based interface KSOC through contracts that typically have
Deferred revenue
In connection with the Company’s Machine-as-a-Service (“MaaS”) subscription for the Company’s ASRs, the Company’s standard billing terms are annual in advance. In these situations, the Company records the invoices as deferred revenue and amortizes the subscription amount when the services are delivered, which generally is a
The Company derives its revenue from the lease subscription of its proprietary ASRs along with access to its browser and mobile based software interface, KSOC. MaaS subscription agreements typically have a
16
The Company also records deferred revenue from unfinished contracts for certain ECD related services.
Deferred revenue includes billings in excess of revenue recognized. Revenue recognized at a point in time generally does not result in significant increases in deferred revenue. Revenue recognized over a period generally results in a majority of the increases in deferred revenue as the performance obligations are fulfilled after the billing event. Deferred revenue was as follows:
| March 31, 2025 |
| December 31, 2024 | |||
Deferred revenue - short term | $ | | $ | | ||
Revenue recognized in the three months ended related to amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period | $ | | $ | |
Deferred revenue represents amounts invoiced to customers for contracts for which revenue has yet to be recognized based for subscription services to be delivered to the Company’s clients. Typically, the timing of invoicing is based on the terms of the contract.
Customer Deposits
Customer deposits primarily relate to sales of ECDs to certain customers dependent upon credit worthiness. The customer deposits are recorded as current liabilities and reclassed as a contra accounts receivable account at the time that the final invoice for the sale is generated following the completion of the revenue recognition criteria.
Disaggregation of revenue
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into the timing of the transfers of goods and services by product line.
The following table summarizes revenue by product line and timing of recognition:

Product Revenue, net
Product revenue, net includes point of sale transactions related to the ECDs, including product, shipping, and installation.
Other revenue, net
Other non-ASR service-related revenues such as deployment services, decals and training revenue are recognized when services are delivered. Revenue from these transactions has been immaterial for all periods presented and is included in service revenue, net.
NOTE 3: Fair Value Measurement
The Company determines the fair market values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The following are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
17
● | Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company considers a market to be active when transactions for the asset occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
● | Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
● | Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The valuation of Level 3 investments requires the use of significant management judgments or estimation. |
In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to valuation, securities are classified as Level 3. Level 3 liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of the convertible preferred stock warrant liabilities.
The following tables summarize, for each category of assets or liabilities carried at fair value, the respective fair value as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the classification by level of input within the fair value hierarchy:

The Company from time to time enters into contracts that contingently require the Company to indemnify parties against third party claims. These contracts primarily relate to: (i) arrangements with clients which generally include certain provisions for indemnifying clients against liabilities if the services infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights, (ii) the Regulation A Issuer Agreement where the Company may be required to indemnify the placement agent for any loss, damage, expense or liability incurred by the other party in any claim arising out of a material breach (or alleged breach) as a result of any potential violation of any law or regulation, or any third party claim arising out of any investment or potential investment in the offering, and (iii) agreements with the Company’s officers and directors, under which the Company may be required to indemnify such persons from certain liabilities arising out of such persons’ relationships with the Company. The Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such obligations and has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Sales Tax Contingencies
The Company has historically not collected state sales tax on the sale of its MaaS product offering but has paid sales tax and use tax on all purchases of raw materials and in conjunction with the financing arrangement of the Company’s ASRs with Farnam Street Financial. The Company’s MaaS product offering may be subject to sales tax in certain jurisdictions. If a taxing authority were to successfully assert that the Company has not properly collected sales or other transaction taxes, or if sales or other transaction tax laws or the interpretation thereof were to change, and the Company was unable to enforce the terms of their contracts with Clients that give the right to reimbursement for the assessed sales taxes, tax liabilities in amounts that could be material may be incurred. Based on the Company’s assessment, the Company has recorded a use tax liability of $

The CODM assesses performance at a Company level and decides how to allocate resources based on net loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed balance sheets as total assets. The measure of significant segment expenses is listed on the condensed statements of operations. The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources for its reportable segment using segment income or loss. This metric is used to evaluate the overall financial performance of the segment, make operational and strategic decisions, prepare the Company’s annual plan, and allocate resources.

Recent Developments
Reverse Stock Split
On August 16, 2024, stockholders approved a reverse stock split at a ratio between 1-for-5 and 1-for-50. On September 4, 2024, the Board set the final ratio at 1-for-50 for both Class A and Class B Common Stock. The split became effective on September 13, 2024, following the filing of an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation in Delaware. No fractional shares were issued; instead, affected stockholders received a cash payment based on the September 13 closing price on Nasdaq, totaling approximately $78. All outstanding stock options were adjusted accordingly, and all share and per-share amounts in financial statements were retroactively updated to reflect the split.
Capital Structure
The Company has prioritized restructuring its capital structure to better align with its public company peers. Below is a summary of actions taken, which we believe, set up the Company for long term success.
Increase in Authorized Shares - On April 5, 2024, stockholders approved an amendment to double the authorized shares of Class A Common Stock from 114 million to 228 million. The increase provides flexibility for corporate purposes such as financings, stock splits or dividends, equity awards, conversions, and strategic initiatives, without needing further stockholder approval.
Preferred Stock Conversion - On May 15, 2024, all outstanding Super Voting and Ordinary Preferred Stock automatically converted into Class B and Class A Common Stock, respectively, per the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. No preferred stock remains outstanding. The conversion supports Nasdaq compliance by aiding stockholder equity requirements.
Authorization of Blank Check Preferred Stock - On August 16, 2024, stockholders approved the authorization of 40 million shares of "blank check" preferred stock, allowing the Board of Directors to issue new preferred shares in one or more series with terms it sets, without further stockholder approval. Provisions related to previously issued preferred stock were removed, as they are no longer outstanding.
Extinguishment of Warrants with Anti-Dilution Features - On October 10, 2022, the Company issued senior secured convertible notes and warrants to purchase 22,768 Class A shares under a Securities Purchase Agreement with Alto Opportunity Master Fund. The warrants included anti-dilution provisions adjusting the exercise price and share quantity if lower-priced stock was later issued. A related registration rights agreement granted the holder registration rights under the Securities Act.
On August 1, 2024, the Company and the holder entered into a waiver agreement, canceling the 2022 warrants in exchange for a $3.0 million senior secured promissory note due July 1, 2025. The note is payable in two installments: $2.5 million in 11 equal monthly payments starting September 1, 2024, and $500,000 on the earlier of October 15, 2024, or upon a qualifying issuance of equity or debt. The note bears no interest unless an event of default occurs, in which case a 10% annual interest applies. As of May 13, 2025, approximately $0.5 million remains outstanding.
Operational Efficiency
The Company is focused on scaling its business and on implementing strategies to decrease gross margin loss over time.
Although the disruptions from restructuring changes we made in the first half of the prior year continue to impact operations, we are beginning to see benefits, primarily as we work closely with our third-party partners to streamline field services for our ECD clients and renegotiate some long-term services contracts.
Additionally, we believe our efforts to improve the ASR K5 v5 are showing promise in higher install base and increased customer retention. The Company continues to invest in revenue-generating activities such channel partnerships, lead generation, marketing and programs aimed at increasing our engagement with the federal government.
27
Our strategy is to try to keep fixed costs low while minimizing variable costs in conjunction with pursuing our growth objectives; however given the global nature of our supply chain, our business is subject to the imposition of tariffs and other trade barriers, which may make it more costly for us to import raw materials and components for our products.
As of May 7, 2025, the Company had a total backlog of approximately $2.5 million, comprised of $1.9 million related to orders for ECDs and $0.6 million related to ASR orders.

Revenue, net
Total revenue, net for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by approximately $0.7 million compared to the same period in the prior year due to a $0.4 million increase in service revenue and $0.2 million increase in product revenue.
Cost of revenue, net
Total cost of revenue, net of $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased approximately $0.1 million compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to lower cost of revenue in services of $0.3 million partially offset by higher costs of revenues in product of $0.2 million.
28
Service cost of revenue, net came in $0.3 million lower as compared to the same period in 2024 due to $0.8 million in savings from one-time scrap fees in 2024 and $0.1 million in lower cellular fees partially offset by $0.5 million in higher third-party expenses.
Product cost of revenue, net for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of $0.8 million was $0.2 million higher than prior year due to $0.3 million in increased costs of materials partially offset by $0.1 million in lower payroll and $0.1 million in lower rent and utilities costs.
Gross Loss
The revenue and cost of revenue described above resulted in a gross loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of approximately $0.7 million, net, compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Research and development expenses increased by approximately $0.6 million, or approximately 35% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to third-party engineering services as the Company continues to invest in the development of new products.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by approximately $0.2 million, or approximately 15%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $0.9 million or approximately 24% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to $1.0 million lower investor relations fees that the Company spent in prior year to support its Public Infrastructure Bond Offering and $0.3 million lower third-party professional fees, primarily legal and finance services. These decreases were partially offset by $0.2 million higher costs across corporate insurance, franchise taxes and other items.

Total other income (expense) decreased by approximately $0.8 million, or 110% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year as non-cash income from change in the fair value of warrant and derivative liabilities in 2024 was not repeated in 2025. The Company extinguished its outstanding warrant liability in 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $12.7 million and $11.1 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had additional paid-in capital of $218.2 million, partially offset by an accumulated deficit of approximately $200.1 million, working capital of approximately $9.6 million and total stockholders’ equity of approximately $18.2 million. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in acquiring additional funding at levels sufficient to fund its future operations. Management’s plans include seeking additional financing, such as issuances of equity and issuances of debt and/or convertible debt instruments. Sales of additional equity securities, convertible debt and/or warrants by the Company could result in the dilution of the interests of existing stockholders. The Company will require significant additional financing to meet its planned capital and operational needs and is pursuing opportunities to obtain additional financing through equity and/or debt alternatives. However, there can be no assurance that financing will be available when required in sufficient amounts, on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to it, the Company may have to significantly reduce its operations, delay, scale back or discontinue the development of one or more of its platforms or discontinue operations completely.
At-the-Market Offering Program
In February 2023, we commenced an at-the-market offering program with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”), as sales agent, in connection with our filing of a prospectus supplement filed on February 9, 2023 (the “February Prospectus Supplement”), allowing us to offer and sell from time to time of up to $20.0 million in shares of Class A Common Stock, subject to, and in accordance with, SEC rules. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, our prospectus supplement provided that in no event would we sell any securities in a public primary offering with a value exceeding one-third of our non-affiliated public float in any 12-month period unless our non-affiliated public float subsequently rose to $75.0 million or more.
On November 14, 2024, after our non-affiliated public float rose to an amount greater than $75.0 million, we filed a new prospectus supplement (the “November Prospectus Supplement”) providing for the offer and sale from time to time of up to $25.0 million in shares of Class A Common Stock, in addition to the shares of Class A Common Stock previously sold, subject to, and in accordance with, SEC rules.
30
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we issued 1,247,836 shares of Class A Common Stock under the at-the-market offering program for net proceeds of approximately $7.4 million, net of brokerage and placement fees of approximately $0.2 million.
Securities Purchase Agreement
On March 27, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a certain institutional investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell in a registered direct offering, 625,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a purchase price of $2.75 per share. The gross proceeds to the Company from the offering were approximately $1.7 million before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities is influenced by the amount of cash we invest in personnel, marketing, and infrastructure to support the anticipated growth of our business, the number of clients to whom we lease our ASRs, the amount and timing of accounts receivable collections, inventory procurement, as well as the amount and timing of disbursements to our vendors.
Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Net cash used in operating activities resulted from a net loss of approximately $6.9 million and changes in working capital and non-cash charges.
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by approximately $2.2 million as compared to the same period of the prior year. This was primarily a result of a decrease in the net loss of approximately $0.7 million, changes in assets and liabilities of approximately $1.4 million, an increase in stock-based compensation of approximately $0.1 million partially offset by a decrease in the change in fair value of warrant and derivative liabilities of approximately $0.8 million, and a loss on disposal of ASRs and related inventory of approximately $0.8 million.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Our primary investing activities have consisted of capital expenditures and investment in ASRs. As our business grows, we expect our capital expenditures to continue to increase.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $8.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of approximately $1.5 million as compared to the same period of the prior year. Our financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, consisted primarily of net proceeds from the issuance of Class A Common Stock under our at-the-market offering program with Wainwright and the registered direct offering of approximately $7.4 million,
31
proceeds from the issuance of common stock and pre-funded warrants of approximately $1.4 million, offset by repayments of debt obligations of $0.6 million. In the prior year period, our financing activities consisted primarily of net proceeds resulting from our at-the-market agreement with Wainwright of approximately $7.1 million and the issuance of our Public Safety Infrastructure Bonds of approximately $2.6 million.
Critical Accounting Estimates
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates from what was reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Please see Note 1 to our condensed financial statements elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As we are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide information under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

If Landlord does not commence to cure such Abatement Event within three (3) business days of receipt of the Additional Abatement Notice and thereafter diligently pursue the cure to completion, Tenant may, upon written notice to Landlord, immediately abate Basic Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses payable under this Lease for that portion of the Premises rendered untenantable and not actually used by Tenant, for the period beginning on the date that is three (3) business days prior to delivery of the Additional Abatement Notice to the earlier of the date Landlord cures such Abatement Event or the date Tenant recommences the use of such portion of the Premises. Such right to abate Rent shall be a Tenant remedy for an Abatement Event, provided Tenant shall continue to have the right to claim a Landlord default for any Abatement Event and pursue remedies for such default under this Lease. In addition, if Landlord has not cured any such Abatement Event within one hundred fifty (150) days after the Landlord’s receipt of written notice of the Abatement Event from Tenant, Tenant shall additionally have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord until such time as Landlord shall have cured the Abatement Event. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, nothing contained herein shall be interpreted to mean that Tenant is excused from paying Rent due hereunder.
-11-
Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, including Section 6.1 above and Section 11.1 and Article 12 below, there shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements to any portion of the Building, including repairs to the Premises, nor shall any related activity by Landlord constitute an actual or constructive eviction; provided, however, that in making repairs, alterations or improvements, Landlord shall not materially and adversely interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights under and benefits of subsection 1 of Section 1932, and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code, or any similar or successor statutes now or hereafter in effect.

Either party may terminate this Lease if any material part of the Premises or Project is taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use under Law, by eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking”). The termination shall be effective as of the effective date of any order granting possession to, or vesting legal title in, the condemning authority. If this Lease is not terminated, Basic Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses shall be appropriately adjusted to account for any reduction in the square footage of the Building or Premises, or loss of parking spaces in the Project. All compensation awarded for a Taking shall be the property of Landlord and the right to receive compensation or proceeds in connection with a Taking are expressly waived by Tenant; provided, however, Tenant may file a separate claim for Tenant’s personal property and Tenant’s reasonable relocation expenses, provided the filing of the claim does not diminish the amount of Landlord’s award. If only a part of the Premises or Project is subject to a Taking and this Lease is not terminated, Landlord, with reasonable diligence, will restore the remaining portion thereof as nearly as practicable to the condition immediately prior to the Taking. Tenant agrees that the provisions of this Lease shall govern any Taking and shall accordingly supersede any contrary statute or rule of law.

-21-
The notice periods provided herein are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice periods provided by law, and Landlord shall not be required to give any additional notice under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, or any successor statute, in order to be entitled to commence an unlawful detainer proceeding in the event of an uncured Default by Tenant.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, all sums payable by Tenant to Landlord shall be paid, without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States to Landlord at its address set forth in Item 12 of the Basic Lease Provisions, or at any other place as Landlord may designate in writing. Unless this Lease expressly provides otherwise, as for example in the payment of rent pursuant to Section 4.1, all payments shall be due and payable within 30 days after demand with reasonable supporting documentation. All payments requiring proration shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days in the pertinent calendar month or year, as applicable. Any notice, election, demand, consent, approval or other communication to be given
-25-
or other document to be delivered by either party to the other shall be delivered to the other party, at the address set forth in Item 12 of the Basic Lease Provisions, by personal service, or by any nationally recognized courier or “overnight” express mailing service. Either party may, by written notice to the other, served in the manner provided in this Article, designate a different address. The refusal to accept delivery of a notice, or the inability to deliver the notice (whether due to a change of address for which notice was not duly given or other good reason), shall be deemed delivery and receipt of the notice as of the date of attempted delivery.
Tenant agrees to comply with the Rules and Regulations attached as Exhibit E, and any reasonable and nondiscriminatory amendments, modifications and/or additions as may be adopted and published by written notice to tenants by Landlord for the safety, care, security, good order, or cleanliness of the Premises, Building, and/or Project; provided that any such amendments, modifications and/or additions shall not materially adversely impact Tenant’s permitted use of the Premises nor result in any material increase in cost to Tenant hereunder. In the case of any conflict between the Rules and Regulations and this Lease, this Lease shall be controlling.
The parties recognize as the broker(s) who negotiated this Lease the firm(s) whose name(s) is (are) stated in Item 10 of the Basic Lease Provisions, and agree that Landlord shall be responsible for the payment of all brokerage commissions due to Landlord’s Broker and Tenant’s Broker in connection with this Lease. It is understood that Landlord’s Broker represents only Landlord in this transaction and Tenant’s Broker represents only Tenant. Each party represents and warrants that it has had no dealings with any other real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Lease, and agrees to indemnify and hold the other party harmless from any cost, expense or liability (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) for any compensation, commissions or charges claimed by any other real estate broker or agent employed or claiming to represent or to have been employed by the indemnifying party in connection with the negotiation of this Lease. The foregoing agreement shall survive the termination of this Lease.
In the event of any transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Premises, the transferor shall be automatically relieved of all obligations on the part of Landlord accruing under this Lease from and after the date of the transfer, provided that Tenant is duly notified of the transfer and the transferee has agreed in writing to assume all such obligations of Landlord. Any funds held by the transferor in which Tenant has an interest, including without limitation, the Security Deposit, shall be turned over, subject to that interest, to the transferee. No Mortgagee to which this Lease is or may be subordinate shall be responsible in connection with the Security Deposit unless the Mortgagee actually receives the Security Deposit. It is intended that the covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord shall, subject to the foregoing, be binding on Landlord, its successors and assigns, only during and in respect to their respective successive periods of ownership.

DEPICTION OF THE BUILDING AND PREMISES
305 N. MATHILDA AVENUE
EXHIBIT A

EXHIBIT B
OPERATING EXPENSES
(Net)
(a)From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, Tenant’s Share of all Operating Expenses, as defined in Section (f) below, incurred by Landlord in the operation of the Building and the Project. The term “Tenant’s Share” means that portion of any Operating Expenses determined by multiplying the cost of such item by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Floor Area of Premises and the denominator of which is the total rentable square footage of the Building. In the event that any management and/or overhead fee payable or imposed by Landlord for the management of Tenant’s Premises is calculated as a percentage of the rent payable by Tenant and other tenants of Landlord, then the full amount of such management and/or overhead fee which is attributable to the rent paid by Tenant shall be additional rent payable by Tenant, in full, provided, however, that Landlord may elect to include such full amount as part of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses.
(b)Commencing prior to the start of the first full “Expense Recovery Period” of the Lease (as defined in Item 7 of the Basic Lease Provisions), and prior to the start of each full or partial Expense Recovery Period thereafter, Landlord shall give Tenant a written estimate of the amount of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the applicable Expense Recovery Period. Tenant shall pay the estimated amounts to Landlord in equal monthly installments, in advance, concurrently with payments of Basic Rent. If Landlord has not furnished its written estimate for any Expense Recovery Period by the time set forth above, Tenant shall continue to pay monthly the estimated Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses in effect during the prior Expense Recovery Period; provided that when the new estimate is delivered to Tenant, Tenant shall, at the next monthly payment date, pay any accrued estimated Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses based upon the new estimate. Landlord may from time to time change the Expense Recovery Period to reflect a calendar year or a new fiscal year of Landlord, as applicable, in which event Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses shall be equitably prorated for any partial year.
(c)Within 180 days after the end of each Expense Recovery Period, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement (a “Reconciliation Statement”) showing in reasonable detail, and general major categories, the actual or prorated Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord during such Expense Recovery Period, and the parties shall within 30 days thereafter make any payment or allowance necessary to adjust Tenant’s estimated payments of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, if any, to the actual Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses as shown by the Reconciliation Statement. Upon Tenant’s request within 90 days of receipt of a Reconciliation Statement, Landlord shall provide copies of original invoices and other reasonable documentation substantiating the Reconciliation Statement. Any delay or failure by Landlord in delivering any Reconciliation Statement shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to require Tenant to pay Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses pursuant hereto (provided that in the event that such failure continues for a period of six (6) months following receipt of notice from Tenant, Tenant may elect to seek specific performance). Any amount due Tenant shall be credited against installments next coming due under this Exhibit B, and any deficiency shall be paid by Tenant together with the next installment. Should Tenant fail to object in writing to Landlord’s determination of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, or fail to give written notice of its intent
EXHIBIT B
-1-
to audit Landlord’s Operating Expenses pursuant to the provisions of this Exhibit B, within 180 days following delivery of Landlord’s Reconciliation Statement, Landlord’s determination of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the applicable Expense Recovery Period shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant for all purposes and any future claims by Tenant to the contrary shall be barred.
Provided Tenant is not then in Default hereunder, Tenant shall have the right to cause a certified public accountant, engaged on a non-contingency fee basis, to audit Operating Expenses by inspecting Landlord’s general ledger of expenses not more than once during any Expense Recovery Period. However, to the extent that insurance premiums or any other component of Operating Expenses is determined by Landlord on the basis of an internal allocation of costs utilizing information Landlord in good faith deems proprietary, such expense component shall not be subject to audit so long as it does not exceed the amount per square foot typically imposed by landlords of other first class office projects in Santa Clara County, California. Tenant shall give notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intent to audit within 365 days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s expense statement which sets forth Landlord’s actual Operating Expenses. Such audit shall be conducted at a mutually agreeable time during normal business hours at the office of Landlord or its management agent where such accounts are maintained. If Tenant’s audit determines that actual Operating Expenses have been overstated by more than 5%, then subject to Landlord’s right to review and/or contest the audit results, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such audit. Tenant’s rent shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any overstatement in Operating Expenses. All of the information obtained by Tenant and/or its auditor in connection with such audit, as well as any compromise, settlement, or adjustment reached between Landlord and Tenant as a result thereof, shall be held in strict confidence and, except as may be required pursuant to litigation, shall not be disclosed to any third party, directly or indirectly, by Landlord or Tenant or their auditor or any of their officers, agents or employees. Landlord may require Tenant’s auditor to execute a separate confidentiality agreement affirming the foregoing as a condition precedent to any audit.
(d) Even though this Lease has terminated and the Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the Expense Recovery Period in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall within 30 days of written notice pay the entire increase over the estimated Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses already paid. Conversely, any overpayment by Tenant shall be rebated by Landlord to Tenant not later than 30 days after such final determination. However, in lieu thereof, Landlord may deliver a reasonable estimate of the anticipated reconciliation amount to Tenant prior to the Expiration Date of the Term, in which event the appropriate party shall fund the amount by the Expiration Date.
(e)If, at any time during any Expense Recovery Period, any one or more of the Operating Expenses are increased to a rate(s) or amount(s) in excess of the rate(s) or amount(s) used in calculating the estimated Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the year, then the estimate of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses may be increased by written notice from Landlord for the month in which such rate(s) or amount(s) becomes effective and for all succeeding months by an amount equal to the estimated amount of Tenant’s Share of the increase. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of the amount or estimated amount of the increase, the month in which the increase will become effective, Tenant’s Share thereof and the months for which the payments are due. Tenant shall pay the increase to Landlord as part of the Tenant’s monthly
EXHIBIT B
-2-
payments of estimated expenses as provided in paragraph (b) above, commencing with the month in which effective.
(f)The term “Operating Expenses” shall mean and include all Project Costs, as defined in Section (g) below, and Property Taxes, as defined in Section (h) below.
(g)The term “Project Costs” shall mean all expenses of operation, management, repair, replacement and maintenance of the Building and the Project, and shall include the following charges by way of illustration but not limitation: water and sewer charges; insurance premiums, deductibles, or reasonable premium equivalents or deductible equivalents should Landlord elect to self-insure any risk that Landlord is authorized to insure hereunder; license, permit, and inspection fees; light; power; window washing; trash pickup; heating, ventilating and air conditioning; supplies; materials; equipment; tools; reasonable fees for consulting services; access control/security costs, inclusive of the reasonable cost of improvements made to enhance access control systems and procedures; establishment of reasonable reserves for replacement of the roof of the Building (not to exceed not to exceed $0.02 per rentable square foot of the Premises per month for the Term); costs incurred in connection with compliance with any laws or changes in laws applicable to the Building or the Project enacted after the Effective Date except to the extent the same are a Capital Expenditure not permitted to be charged to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease; the cost of any capital improvements or replacements (other than tenant improvements for specific tenants) to the extent of the amortized amount thereof over the useful life of such capital improvements or replacements (or, if such capital improvements or replacements are anticipated to achieve a cost savings as to the Operating Expenses, any shorter estimated period of time over which the cost of the capital improvements or replacements would be recovered from the estimated cost savings) calculated at a market cost of funds, all as determined using sound and consistently applied accounting and real estate management practices, for each year of useful life or shorter recovery period of such capital expenditure for capital expenditures occurring during the Term, except that capital expenditures that may be included in Operating Expenses shall be limited to (1) improvements which are reasonably intended to increase or enhance building security and/or safety (such as lighting, life/fire safety systems, etc.), (2) repairs or replacements of the Building structure, Building systems or other portions of the Project when the same have become obsolete, reached the end of their useful lives, or become damaged or worn out such that they are, in Landlord’s reasonable determination, inconsistent with the first-class quality and character of the Project, (3) improvements required to comply with any law or change in law becoming effective as to the Building after the Commencement Date, and/or (4) expenditures incurred as a cost or labor saving measure or to effect other economies in the operation or maintenance of the Building or other portions of the Project provided that Landlord, based on expert third party advice, reasonably believes that such improvements will reduce operating expense costs (collectively, “Permitted Capital Items”); costs associated with the maintenance of an air conditioning, heating and ventilation service agreement, and maintenance of any communications or networked data transmission equipment, conduit, cabling, wiring and related telecommunications facilitating automation and control systems, remote telecommunication or data transmission infrastructure within the Building and/or the Project, and any other maintenance, repair and replacement costs associated with such infrastructure; capital costs associated with a requirement related to demands on utilities by Project tenants, including without limitation the cost to obtain additional voice, data and modem connections; labor; reasonably allocated wages and salaries, fringe benefits, and payroll taxes for administrative and
EXHIBIT B
-3-
other personnel directly applicable to the Building and/or Project, including both Landlord’s personnel and outside personnel; any expense incurred and permitted pursuant to Sections 6.1, 6.2, 7.2, and 10.2, and Exhibits C and F of the Lease; and reasonable overhead and/or management fees for the professional operation of the Project (provided that Tenant’s Share of management fees shall not exceed 3% of Basic Rent). It is understood and agreed that Project Costs may include competitive charges for direct services (including, without limitation, management and/or operations services) provided by any subsidiary, division or affiliate of Landlord. Except for a management fee, Landlord shall not collect more from Tenant in Operating Expenses than Landlord actually incurs for such Operating Expenses.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any given Expense Recovery Period earthquake insurance deductibles included in Project Costs shall be limited to an amount (the “Annual Limit”) not to exceed 0.5% of the total insurable value of the Project per occurrence (provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if, for any occurrence, the earthquake insurance deductible exceeds the Annual Limit, then, after such deductible is included (up to the Annual Limit) in Project Costs for the applicable Expense Recovery Period, such excess may be included (up to the Annual Limit) in Project Costs for the immediately succeeding Expense Recovery Period, and any portion of such excess that is not so included in Project Costs for such immediately succeeding Expense Recovery Period may be included (up to the Annual Limit) in Project Costs for the next succeeding Expense Recovery Period, and so on with respect to each subsequent Expense Recovery Period; provided further, however, that in no event shall the portions of such deductible that are included in Project Costs for any one or more Expense Recovery Periods exceed, in the aggregate, 5.0% of the total insurable value of the Project).
(h)The term “Property Taxes” shall include any form of federal, state, county or local government or municipal taxes, fees, charges or other impositions of every kind (whether general, special, ordinary or extraordinary) related to the ownership, leasing or operation of the Premises, Building or Project, including without limitation, the following: (i) all real estate taxes or personal property taxes levied against the Premises, the Building or Project, as such property taxes may be reassessed from time to time; and (ii) other taxes, charges and assessments which are levied on this Lease or to the Building and/or the Project, and any improvements, fixtures and equipment and other property of Landlord located in the Building and/or the Project, (iii) all assessments and fees levied upon the Building or the Project for public improvements, services, and facilities and impacts thereon, including without limitation arising out of any Community Facilities Districts, “Mello Roos” districts, similar assessment districts, and any traffic impact mitigation assessments or fees; (iv) any tax, surcharge or assessment which shall be levied upon the Building or the Project in addition to or in lieu of real estate or personal property taxes, and (v) taxes based on the receipt of rent (including gross receipts or sales taxes applicable to the receipt of rent), and (vi) costs and expenses incurred in contesting the amount or validity of any Property Tax by appropriate proceedings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, general net income or franchise taxes imposed against Landlord shall be excluded.
If Landlord appeals Property Taxes assessed against the Building for any fiscal year during the Term and receives any refund as a result of such appeal, Landlord shall credit Tenant for Tenant’s pro rata share of such refund (after deducting all expenses incurred in connection with the appeal), or if the Term has expired, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant’s pro rata share
EXHIBIT B
-4-

(i)Notwithstanding the foregoing or any language in the Lease to the contrary, Operating Expenses shall exclude the following:
(1)Any ground lease or master lease rental;

Any insurance required of Tenant may be furnished by Tenant under any blanket policy carried by it or under a separate policy. A certificate of insurance, certifying that the policy has been issued, provides the coverage required by this Exhibit and contains the required provisions, together with endorsements acceptable to Landlord evidencing the waiver of subrogation and additional insured provisions required below, shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the date Tenant is given the right of possession of the Premises.

Such parking shall be at no additional charge to Tenant. All parking spaces shall be used only for parking of vehicles no larger than full size passenger automobiles, sport utility vehicles or pickup trucks.

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
1.EXTERIOR SIGNAGE
1.1MONUMENT SIGNAGE. Prior to the Commencement Date, Landlord shall construct a monument sign for the Project in the approximate location shown on Exhibit G-1. Provided Tenant is not in Default of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to install non-exclusive signage on one slot of the Building monument in the general location shown on Exhibit G-1. Tenant shall use Landlord’s designated contractor for installing the monument signage.
1.2.Intentionally Deleted.
1.3GENERAL SIGNAGE TERMS. The size, design, graphics, material, style, color and other physical aspects of all Exterior Signage shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) and the City of Sunnyvale, and shall be consistent with Landlord’s reasonable signage criteria for the Project, as in effect from time to time and approved by the City in which the Premises are located (“Signage Criteria”). Prior to installation, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of any applicable municipal or other governmental permits and approvals and evidence that the Exterior Signage is in compliance with any covenants, conditions or restrictions encumbering the Premises and the Signage Criteria. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs of any Exterior Signage, including, without limitation, the fabrication, installation, maintenance and removal thereof and the cost of any permits therefor. If Tenant fails to maintain any Exterior Signage in good condition, or if Tenant fails to remove same upon termination of this Lease and repair and restore any damage caused by the sign or its removal, Landlord may do so at Tenant’s expense. Landlord shall have the right to temporarily remove any signs in connection with any necessary repairs or maintenance in or upon the Building. Tenant shall use Landlord’s designated contractor for installing the Exterior Signage. The Exterior Signage shall consist only of the name “Siemens” or “Siemens Healthineers” or a similar derivation of either of the foregoing, and may not be transferred or assigned without Landlord’s prior written consent, which may be withheld by Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion; provided, however, (a) Landlord agrees not to withhold its consent to an assignment of Tenant’s signage rights under this Section in connection with an assignment of all of Tenant’s interest in the Lease which is permitted under this Lease or otherwise approved by Landlord, and (b) such signage right shall be deemed to be assignable to any applicable Permitted Transferee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1 above, in no event shall any “Objectionable Name” (as defined below) be placed on such signage. The term “Objectionable Name” shall mean any name which relates to an entity which is of a character or reputation, or is associated with a political orientation or faction, which is inconsistent with the quality of the Building as a first-class office building, or which would otherwise reasonably offend a landlord of comparable buildings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the logo and color for Siemens Healthineers shown on Exhibit G-1 is hereby approved by Landlord for Tenant’s signage. Tenant shall also remove all Exterior Signage promptly following the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. Any such removal shall be at Tenant’s sole expense, and Tenant shall bear the cost of any resulting repairs to the Building that are reasonably necessary due to the removal.

2.RIGHT TO EXTEND. Provided that Tenant is not in Default under any provision of this Lease at the time of exercise of the extension right granted herein, and provided further that Tenant and/or a Permitted Transferee is occupying the entire Premises and Tenant has not assigned or sublet any of its interest in this Lease (except in connection with a Permitted Transfer of this Lease to a Permitted Transferee as described in Section 9.1(e) hereof), Tenant may extend the Term of this Lease for one additional period of 60 months.
The Basic Rent and additional rent payable under the Lease during the extension of the Term shall be at the prevailing fair market rental rate (including applicable periodic adjustments) for comparable and similarly improved office space being leased in comparable buildings in Sunnyvale, California, as of the commencement of the extension period (the “Prevailing Rate”). The Prevailing Rate shall take into account (i) the quality of improvements and age of the Building (based on the date of construction or major renovation), (ii) the amount of applicable operating expenses charged in connection with the space, (ii) the level of leasehold improvements and improvement allowances, (iii) the value of rent credits and other concessions (but excluding construction periods), and (iv) any other relevant and generally applicable monetary considerations affecting the proper determination of the fair market value rental rate.
Tenant shall exercise its right to extend the Term by and only by the following procedure: Tenant may (but is not obligated to) deliver to Landlord, not less than 12 months nor more than 15 months prior to the expiration date of the Term, Tenant’s written notice of its interest to extend (the “Interest Notice”). Provided that an Interest Notice has been timely delivered, not later than 11 months prior to the expiration date of the Term, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the proposed Prevailing Rate for the Extension Term. Following receipt of Landlord’s proposed Prevailing Rate, Tenant, may deliver to Landlord, not later than 9 months prior to the expiration date of the Term (but not sooner than 30 days after receipt of Landlord’s proposed Prevailing Rate), notice of its irrevocable exercise of its right to extend this Lease (the “Commitment Notice”), which Commitment Notice shall include either Tenant’s acceptance of Landlord’s proposed Prevailing Rate or Tenant’s rejection of Landlord’s proposed Prevailing Rate. If Tenant fails to timely provide Landlord with a Commitment Notice, the extension right shall become null and void. If Tenant provides Landlord with a Commitment Notice, and accepts Landlord’s proposed Prevailing Rate, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an appropriate amendment to this Lease for the extension period (as provided below) upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. If Tenant provides a Commitment Notice, but rejects Landlord’s proposed Prevailing Rate, then the parties shall meet and confer and attempt to agree upon the Prevailing Rate. In the event that the parties are not able to agree on the Prevailing Rate within 120 days prior to the expiration date of the Term, then either party may elect, by written notice to the other party, to cause said rental, including subsequent adjustments, to be determined by appraisal as follows.
Within 10 days following receipt of such appraisal election, the parties shall attempt to agree on an appraiser to determine the Prevailing Rate. If the parties are unable to agree in that time, then each party shall designate an appraiser within 10 days thereafter. Should either party fail to so designate an appraiser within that time, then the appraiser designated by the other party shall determine the Prevailing Rate. Should each of the parties timely designate an appraiser, than the two appraisers so designated shall appoint a third appraiser who shall, acting alone, determine the fair market rental value of the Premises. Any appraiser designated hereunder shall have an M.A.I. certification or equivalent with not less than 5 years’ experience in the valuation of
EXHIBIT G
-2-
commercial office, research and development and life science buildings in Santa Clara County, California.
Within 10 days following the selection of the appraiser, Landlord and Tenant shall each submit in writing to the appraiser its determination of the rental rate for the extension period (respectively, the “Landlord’s Determination” and the “Tenant’s Determination”). Should either party fail timely to submit its rental determination, then the determination of the other party shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. The appraiser shall not disclose to either party the rental determination of the other party until the expiration of that 10 day period or, if sooner, the appraiser’s receipt of both the Landlord’s Determination and the Tenant’s Determination.
Within 30 days following the selection of the appraiser and such appraiser’s receipt of the Landlord’s Determination and the Tenant’s Determination, the appraiser shall determine whether the rental rate determined by Landlord or by Tenant more accurately reflects Prevailing Rate for the Premises, as reasonably extrapolated to the commencement of the extension term. Accordingly, either the Landlord’s Determination or the Tenant’s Determination shall be selected by the appraiser as the fair market rental rate for the extension period. In determining such value, the appraiser shall first consider comparable rentals for the Building and the Project, provided that if adequate comparables do not exist then the appraiser may consider transactions involving similarly improved space in comparable buildings in Sunnyvale with appropriate adjustments for differences in location and quality of project. In no event shall the appraiser attribute factors for brokerage commissions to reduce said fair market rental. At any time before the decision of the appraiser is rendered, either party may, by written notice to the other party, accept the rental terms submitted by the other party, in which event such terms shall be deemed adopted as the agreed fair market rental. The fees of the appraiser(s) shall be shared equally by both parties.
Within 20 days after the determination of the Prevailing Rate, Landlord shall prepare a reasonably appropriate and mutually and reasonably acceptable amendment to this Lease for the extension period and Tenant shall execute and return same to Landlord within 10 days. Should the Prevailing Rate not be established by the commencement of the extension period, then Tenant shall continue paying rent at the rate in effect during the last month of the initial Term, and a lump sum adjustment shall be made promptly upon the determination of such new rental.
If Tenant fails to timely comply with any of the provisions of this paragraph, Tenant’s right to extend the Term may, at Landlord’s election and in addition to any other remedies that may be available to Landlord, be extinguished, in which event the Lease shall automatically terminate as of the initial expiration date of the Term. Any attempt to assign or transfer any right or interest created by this Section to another party other than a Permitted Transferee shall be void from its inception. Tenant shall have no other right to extend the Term beyond the single 60 month extension created by this Section.
3.RIGHT TO TERMINATE. Provided Tenant is not then in Default under any provision of this Lease, Tenant shall have a one-time right to terminate this Lease effective as of the expiration of the 60th month of the initial Term. Tenant shall exercise such termination right by giving written notice thereof to Landlord (the “Termination Notice”) at least 12 months prior to the effective date of termination. All Rent and other costs due under this Lease for the Premises shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord through the effective date of termination. In
EXHIBIT G
-3-
addition, should Tenant exercise the foregoing right to terminate, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within 45 days of its delivery of the Termination Notice (and as a condition subsequent to the effectiveness thereof), a separate termination fee, as reasonably computed by Landlord, comprised of the following: (i) 5 months of Basic Rent at the rate payable in effect as of 60th month of the initial Term; plus (ii) the unamortized portion (based upon a constant, straight line amortization over an 89 month period with 8% interest) as of the effective date of termination of (A) brokerage commissions paid by Landlord in connection with the Lease, (B) tenant improvement allowance funded by Landlord (but not including any supervision/administrative fee collected by Landlord in connection therewith); plus (iii) unamortized Abated Basic Rent (i.e. based upon the amortization of the Abated Basic Rent in equal monthly amounts during the initial Term, without interest), if any. Tenant’s rights under this Section shall be personal to the original Tenant named in this Lease and may not be assigned or transferred (except in connection with a Permitted Transfer of this Lease to an Affiliate as described in Section 9.1(e) hereof). Any other attempted assignment or transfer shall be void and of no force or effect.
4.SATELLITE DISH; ROOFTOP EQUIPMENT. Tenant shall have the right to maintain and operate within an area or areas reasonably designated by Landlord on the roof of the Building (the “Rooftop Area”), during the Term of this Lease, reasonable quantities and sizes of satellite dishes up to 24 inches in diameter (of which the height, appearance and installation procedures must be approved in writing by Landlord), antennas and related communications equipment and/or supplemental HVAC equipment (collectively the “Rooftop Equipment”) in accordance with and subject to the following terms. Landlord may impose a reasonable architectural review fee in connection with its approval of the Dish, and Tenant shall pay same promptly following demand. Tenant shall utilize a contractor acceptable to Landlord to install the Rooftop Equipment, which contractor shall comply with Landlord’s construction rules for the Building, including without limitation Landlord’s standard insurance requirements. Tenant shall use the Rooftop Area only for the operation and maintenance of the Rooftop Equipment and the necessary mechanical and electrical equipment to service the Rooftop Equipment. The right to utilize the Rooftop Equipment and Rooftop Area shall be limited solely to Tenant, and in no event may Tenant assign or sublicense such right (except in connection with an approved assignment of this Lease or a permitted assignment to an Affiliate as described in Section 9.1(e) hereof). Tenant shall not use or permit any other person to use the Rooftop Area for any improper use or for any operation which would constitute a nuisance, and Tenant shall at all times conform to and cause all persons using any part of the Rooftop Area to comply with all public laws, ordinances and regulations from time to time applicable thereto and to all operations thereon. In the event a pre-existing cable television system is operating in the area, Tenant shall at all times conduct its operations so as to ensure that the cable television system shall not be subject to harmful interference as a result of such operations by Tenant. Upon notification from Landlord of any such interference, Tenant agrees to immediately take the necessary steps to correct such situation. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall comply with any standards promulgated by applicable governmental authorities or otherwise reasonably established by Landlord regarding the Tenant’s generation of electromagnetic fields in relation to the Rooftop Equipment. Should Landlord determine in good faith at any time that the Rooftop Equipment poses a health or safety hazard to occupants of the Building or the proper functioning of the Building systems, Landlord may require Tenant to remove the Rooftop Equipment or make other arrangements satisfactory to Landlord. Any claim or liability resulting from the use of the Rooftop Equipment shall be subject to Tenant’s indemnification obligation as set forth in Section 10.3 of the Lease. Upon the expiration or earlier
EXHIBIT G

termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove the Rooftop Equipment and all other equipment installed by it and shall restore the Rooftop Area to its original condition.

As used herein, the term “Force Majeure Delay” shall mean an actual delay not known to the party claiming such delay or otherwise existing as of the date hereof resulting from strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbance, fire, wind, damage or destruction to the Building, explosion, casualty, flood, hurricane, tornado, the elements, acts of God or the public enemy, pandemic (but only to the extent an actual delay results from Tenant’s inability to complete construction of the Tenant Improvements (or Landlord’s inability to complete construction of the Landlord’s Work) due to a government mandated cessation of construction activity), sabotage, embargo, war, terrorist acts, invasion, insurrection, rebellion, civil unrest, riots, or earthquakes. As used in this Work Letter, “Landlord Caused Delay” shall mean actual delays to the extent resulting from (i) the failure of Landlord to timely approve or disapprove any Tenant submittals; (ii) interference (when judged in accordance with industry custom and practice) by Landlord or its agents (except as otherwise allowed under this Work Letter) with the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements and which objectively preclude or delay the construction of Tenant Improvements, which interference relates to access by Tenant, or Tenant’s agents and contractors to the Building; (iii) Landlord’s breach of its obligations under the Lease; or (iv) delays resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, or any of its agents, employees, contractors, or subcontractors in connection with the Tenant Improvements.
B. | If Tenant contends that a Commencement Date Delay has occurred, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of the event which constitutes such Commencement Date Delay. If such actions, inaction or circumstance described in the notice set forth in the preceding sentence of this Section III.A. of this Work Letter (the “Delay Notice”) constitute a Landlord Caused Delay and are not cured by Landlord within two (2) business days of Landlord’s receipt of the Delay Notice and if such action, inaction or circumstance otherwise qualify as a Landlord Caused Delay, then a Commencement Date Delay shall be deemed to have occurred commencing as of the date of Landlord’s receipt of the Delay Notice and ending as of the date such delay ends. For purposes of this Section III.A., “Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements” shall mean completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements pursuant to the approved construction drawings, with the exception of any punch list items that do not materially impair Tenant’s normal business operations in the Premises and the Premises is ready for occupancy by Tenant. |
IV.LANDLORD’S WORK.
Landlord will, at its sole cost and expense, complete the following work in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformance with Landlord’s standard specifications for the Building, and in compliance with applicable laws to the extent necessary to receive a signed off permit or similar work sign off from the City of Sunnyvale (“Landlord’s Work”):

Except as otherwise provided herein, Landlord’s temporary inability to furnish any services or utilities required to be furnished by Landlord under this Lease shall not entitle Tenant to any damages, relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay rent or constitute a constructive or other eviction of Tenant, except that Landlord shall diligently attempt to restore the service or utility promptly. Tenant shall comply with all rules and regulations which Landlord may reasonably establish for the provision of services and utilities, and shall cooperate with all reasonable conservation practices established by Landlord. Landlord shall at all reasonable times have free access to all electrical and mechanical installations of Landlord, subject to Landlord’s access and entry requirements under this Lease.
-10-
Notwithstanding any language to the contrary, if (i) (A) Landlord enters the Premises pursuant to Section 7.5 below, (B) Landlord performs any construction or demolition work on or about the Project, (C) Landlord fails to provide any services required of Landlord under this Lease, (D) Landlord fails to perform any of Landlord’s repair obligations required under this Lease, and/or (E) an interruption or cessation in the provision of electricity or other utilities or services to the Premises results from the negligence or acts or omissions of Landlord or Landlord’s agents, employees or contractors, (ii) the same causes all or a material portion of the Premises to be untenantable by Tenant and Tenant actually ceases to use all or such material portion of the Premises, and (iii) such failure is reasonably within Landlord’s ability to cure, then in order to be entitled to receive the benefits of this Section 6.1, Tenant must give Landlord notice (the “Initial Abatement Notice”), specifying such circumstances described above (the “Abatement Event”). If Landlord has not commenced to cure such Abatement Event within three (3) business days after the receipt of the Initial Abatement Notice and is not otherwise excused from such performance by this Lease, then prior to any abatement, Tenant must deliver an additional notice to Landlord (the “Additional Abatement Notice”), specifying such Abatement Event and Tenant’s intention to abate the payment of Rent under this Lease. If Landlord does not commence to cure such Abatement Event within three (3) business days of receipt of the Additional Abatement Notice and thereafter diligently pursue the cure to completion, Tenant may, upon written notice to Landlord, immediately abate Basic Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses payable under this Lease for that portion of the Premises rendered untenantable and not actually used by Tenant, for the period beginning on the date that is three (3) business days prior to delivery of the Additional Abatement Notice to the earlier of the date Landlord cures such Abatement Event or the date Tenant recommences the use of such portion of the Premises. Such right to abate Rent shall be a Tenant remedy for an Abatement Event, provided Tenant shall continue to have the right to claim a Landlord default for any Abatement Event and pursue remedies for such default under this Lease. In addition, if Landlord has not cured any such Abatement Event within one hundred fifty (150) days after the Landlord’s receipt of written notice of the Abatement Event from Tenant, Tenant shall additionally have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord until such time as Landlord shall have cured the Abatement Event. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, nothing contained herein shall be interpreted to mean that Tenant is excused from paying Rent due hereunder.
-11-
Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, including Section 6.1 above and Section 11.1 and Article 12 below, there shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements to any portion of the Building, including repairs to the Premises, nor shall any related activity by Landlord constitute an actual or constructive eviction; provided, however, that in making repairs, alterations or improvements, Landlord shall not materially and adversely interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights under and benefits of subsection 1 of Section 1932, and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code, or any similar or successor statutes now or hereafter in effect.

Either party may terminate this Lease if any material part of the Premises or Project is taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use under Law, by eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking”). The termination shall be effective as of the effective date of any order granting possession to, or vesting legal title in, the condemning authority. If this Lease is not terminated, Basic Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses shall be appropriately adjusted to account for any reduction in the square footage of the Building or Premises, or loss of parking spaces in the Project. All compensation awarded for a Taking shall be the property of Landlord and the right to receive compensation or proceeds in connection with a Taking are expressly waived by Tenant; provided, however, Tenant may file a separate claim for Tenant’s personal property and Tenant’s reasonable relocation expenses, provided the filing of the claim does not diminish the amount of Landlord’s award. If only a part of the Premises or Project is subject to a Taking and this Lease is not terminated, Landlord, with reasonable diligence, will restore the remaining portion thereof as nearly as practicable to the condition immediately prior to the Taking. Tenant agrees that the provisions of this Lease shall govern any Taking and shall accordingly supersede any contrary statute or rule of law.

The notice periods provided herein are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice periods provided by law, and Landlord shall not be required to give any additional notice under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, or any successor statute, in order to be entitled to commence an unlawful detainer proceeding in the event of an uncured Default by Tenant.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, all sums payable by Tenant to Landlord shall be paid, without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States to Landlord at its address set forth in Item 12 of the Basic Lease Provisions, or at any other place as Landlord may designate in writing. Unless this Lease expressly provides otherwise, as for example in the payment of rent pursuant to Section 4.1, all payments shall be due and payable within 30 days after demand with reasonable supporting documentation. All payments requiring proration shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days in the pertinent calendar month or year, as applicable. Any notice, election, demand, consent, approval or other communication to be given
-25-
or other document to be delivered by either party to the other shall be delivered to the other party, at the address set forth in Item 12 of the Basic Lease Provisions, by personal service, or by any nationally recognized courier or “overnight” express mailing service. Either party may, by written notice to the other, served in the manner provided in this Article, designate a different address. The refusal to accept delivery of a notice, or the inability to deliver the notice (whether due to a change of address for which notice was not duly given or other good reason), shall be deemed delivery and receipt of the notice as of the date of attempted delivery.
Tenant agrees to comply with the Rules and Regulations attached as Exhibit E, and any reasonable and nondiscriminatory amendments, modifications and/or additions as may be adopted and published by written notice to tenants by Landlord for the safety, care, security, good order, or cleanliness of the Premises, Building, and/or Project; provided that any such amendments, modifications and/or additions shall not materially adversely impact Tenant’s permitted use of the Premises nor result in any material increase in cost to Tenant hereunder. In the case of any conflict between the Rules and Regulations and this Lease, this Lease shall be controlling.
The parties recognize as the broker(s) who negotiated this Lease the firm(s) whose name(s) is (are) stated in Item 10 of the Basic Lease Provisions, and agree that Landlord shall be responsible for the payment of all brokerage commissions due to Landlord’s Broker and Tenant’s Broker in connection with this Lease. It is understood that Landlord’s Broker represents only Landlord in this transaction and Tenant’s Broker represents only Tenant. Each party represents and warrants that it has had no dealings with any other real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Lease, and agrees to indemnify and hold the other party harmless from any cost, expense or liability (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) for any compensation, commissions or charges claimed by any other real estate broker or agent employed or claiming to represent or to have been employed by the indemnifying party in connection with the negotiation of this Lease. The foregoing agreement shall survive the termination of this Lease.
In the event of any transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Premises, the transferor shall be automatically relieved of all obligations on the part of Landlord accruing under this Lease from and after the date of the transfer, provided that Tenant is duly notified of the transfer and the transferee has agreed in writing to assume all such obligations of Landlord. Any funds held by the transferor in which Tenant has an interest, including without limitation, the Security Deposit, shall be turned over, subject to that interest, to the transferee. No Mortgagee to which this Lease is or may be subordinate shall be responsible in connection with the Security Deposit unless the Mortgagee actually receives the Security Deposit. It is intended that the covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord shall, subject to the foregoing, be binding on Landlord, its successors and assigns, only during and in respect to their respective successive periods of ownership.

DEPICTION OF THE BUILDING AND PREMISES
305 N. MATHILDA AVENUE
EXHIBIT A

EXHIBIT B
OPERATING EXPENSES
(Net)
(a)From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, Tenant’s Share of all Operating Expenses, as defined in Section (f) below, incurred by Landlord in the operation of the Building and the Project. The term “Tenant’s Share” means that portion of any Operating Expenses determined by multiplying the cost of such item by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Floor Area of Premises and the denominator of which is the total rentable square footage of the Building. In the event that any management and/or overhead fee payable or imposed by Landlord for the management of Tenant’s Premises is calculated as a percentage of the rent payable by Tenant and other tenants of Landlord, then the full amount of such management and/or overhead fee which is attributable to the rent paid by Tenant shall be additional rent payable by Tenant, in full, provided, however, that Landlord may elect to include such full amount as part of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses.
(b)Commencing prior to the start of the first full “Expense Recovery Period” of the Lease (as defined in Item 7 of the Basic Lease Provisions), and prior to the start of each full or partial Expense Recovery Period thereafter, Landlord shall give Tenant a written estimate of the amount of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the applicable Expense Recovery Period. Tenant shall pay the estimated amounts to Landlord in equal monthly installments, in advance, concurrently with payments of Basic Rent. If Landlord has not furnished its written estimate for any Expense Recovery Period by the time set forth above, Tenant shall continue to pay monthly the estimated Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses in effect during the prior Expense Recovery Period; provided that when the new estimate is delivered to Tenant, Tenant shall, at the next monthly payment date, pay any accrued estimated Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses based upon the new estimate. Landlord may from time to time change the Expense Recovery Period to reflect a calendar year or a new fiscal year of Landlord, as applicable, in which event Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses shall be equitably prorated for any partial year.
(c)Within 180 days after the end of each Expense Recovery Period, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement (a “Reconciliation Statement”) showing in reasonable detail, and general major categories, the actual or prorated Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord during such Expense Recovery Period, and the parties shall within 30 days thereafter make any payment or allowance necessary to adjust Tenant’s estimated payments of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, if any, to the actual Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses as shown by the Reconciliation Statement. Upon Tenant’s request within 90 days of receipt of a Reconciliation Statement, Landlord shall provide copies of original invoices and other reasonable documentation substantiating the Reconciliation Statement. Any delay or failure by Landlord in delivering any Reconciliation Statement shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to require Tenant to pay Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses pursuant hereto (provided that in the event that such failure continues for a period of six (6) months following receipt of notice from Tenant, Tenant may elect to seek specific performance). Any amount due Tenant shall be credited against installments next coming due under this Exhibit B, and any deficiency shall be paid by Tenant together with the next installment. Should Tenant fail to object in writing to Landlord’s determination of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, or fail to give written notice of its intent
EXHIBIT B
-1-
to audit Landlord’s Operating Expenses pursuant to the provisions of this Exhibit B, within 180 days following delivery of Landlord’s Reconciliation Statement, Landlord’s determination of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the applicable Expense Recovery Period shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant for all purposes and any future claims by Tenant to the contrary shall be barred.
Provided Tenant is not then in Default hereunder, Tenant shall have the right to cause a certified public accountant, engaged on a non-contingency fee basis, to audit Operating Expenses by inspecting Landlord’s general ledger of expenses not more than once during any Expense Recovery Period. However, to the extent that insurance premiums or any other component of Operating Expenses is determined by Landlord on the basis of an internal allocation of costs utilizing information Landlord in good faith deems proprietary, such expense component shall not be subject to audit so long as it does not exceed the amount per square foot typically imposed by landlords of other first class office projects in Santa Clara County, California. Tenant shall give notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intent to audit within 365 days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s expense statement which sets forth Landlord’s actual Operating Expenses. Such audit shall be conducted at a mutually agreeable time during normal business hours at the office of Landlord or its management agent where such accounts are maintained. If Tenant’s audit determines that actual Operating Expenses have been overstated by more than 5%, then subject to Landlord’s right to review and/or contest the audit results, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such audit. Tenant’s rent shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any overstatement in Operating Expenses. All of the information obtained by Tenant and/or its auditor in connection with such audit, as well as any compromise, settlement, or adjustment reached between Landlord and Tenant as a result thereof, shall be held in strict confidence and, except as may be required pursuant to litigation, shall not be disclosed to any third party, directly or indirectly, by Landlord or Tenant or their auditor or any of their officers, agents or employees. Landlord may require Tenant’s auditor to execute a separate confidentiality agreement affirming the foregoing as a condition precedent to any audit.
(d) Even though this Lease has terminated and the Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the Expense Recovery Period in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall within 30 days of written notice pay the entire increase over the estimated Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses already paid. Conversely, any overpayment by Tenant shall be rebated by Landlord to Tenant not later than 30 days after such final determination. However, in lieu thereof, Landlord may deliver a reasonable estimate of the anticipated reconciliation amount to Tenant prior to the Expiration Date of the Term, in which event the appropriate party shall fund the amount by the Expiration Date.
(e)If, at any time during any Expense Recovery Period, any one or more of the Operating Expenses are increased to a rate(s) or amount(s) in excess of the rate(s) or amount(s) used in calculating the estimated Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the year, then the estimate of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses may be increased by written notice from Landlord for the month in which such rate(s) or amount(s) becomes effective and for all succeeding months by an amount equal to the estimated amount of Tenant’s Share of the increase. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of the amount or estimated amount of the increase, the month in which the increase will become effective, Tenant’s Share thereof and the months for which the payments are due. Tenant shall pay the increase to Landlord as part of the Tenant’s monthly
EXHIBIT B
-2-
payments of estimated expenses as provided in paragraph (b) above, commencing with the month in which effective.
(f)The term “Operating Expenses” shall mean and include all Project Costs, as defined in Section (g) below, and Property Taxes, as defined in Section (h) below.
(g)The term “Project Costs” shall mean all expenses of operation, management, repair, replacement and maintenance of the Building and the Project, and shall include the following charges by way of illustration but not limitation: water and sewer charges; insurance premiums, deductibles, or reasonable premium equivalents or deductible equivalents should Landlord elect to self-insure any risk that Landlord is authorized to insure hereunder; license, permit, and inspection fees; light; power; window washing; trash pickup; heating, ventilating and air conditioning; supplies; materials; equipment; tools; reasonable fees for consulting services; access control/security costs, inclusive of the reasonable cost of improvements made to enhance access control systems and procedures; establishment of reasonable reserves for replacement of the roof of the Building (not to exceed not to exceed $0.02 per rentable square foot of the Premises per month for the Term); costs incurred in connection with compliance with any laws or changes in laws applicable to the Building or the Project enacted after the Effective Date except to the extent the same are a Capital Expenditure not permitted to be charged to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease; the cost of any capital improvements or replacements (other than tenant improvements for specific tenants) to the extent of the amortized amount thereof over the useful life of such capital improvements or replacements (or, if such capital improvements or replacements are anticipated to achieve a cost savings as to the Operating Expenses, any shorter estimated period of time over which the cost of the capital improvements or replacements would be recovered from the estimated cost savings) calculated at a market cost of funds, all as determined using sound and consistently applied accounting and real estate management practices, for each year of useful life or shorter recovery period of such capital expenditure for capital expenditures occurring during the Term, except that capital expenditures that may be included in Operating Expenses shall be limited to (1) improvements which are reasonably intended to increase or enhance building security and/or safety (such as lighting, life/fire safety systems, etc.), (2) repairs or replacements of the Building structure, Building systems or other portions of the Project when the same have become obsolete, reached the end of their useful lives, or become damaged or worn out such that they are, in Landlord’s reasonable determination, inconsistent with the first-class quality and character of the Project, (3) improvements required to comply with any law or change in law becoming effective as to the Building after the Commencement Date, and/or (4) expenditures incurred as a cost or labor saving measure or to effect other economies in the operation or maintenance of the Building or other portions of the Project provided that Landlord, based on expert third party advice, reasonably believes that such improvements will reduce operating expense costs (collectively, “Permitted Capital Items”); costs associated with the maintenance of an air conditioning, heating and ventilation service agreement, and maintenance of any communications or networked data transmission equipment, conduit, cabling, wiring and related telecommunications facilitating automation and control systems, remote telecommunication or data transmission infrastructure within the Building and/or the Project, and any other maintenance, repair and replacement costs associated with such infrastructure; capital costs associated with a requirement related to demands on utilities by Project tenants, including without limitation the cost to obtain additional voice, data and modem connections; labor; reasonably allocated wages and salaries, fringe benefits, and payroll taxes for administrative and

It is understood and agreed that Project Costs may include competitive charges for direct services (including, without limitation, management and/or operations services) provided by any subsidiary, division or affiliate of Landlord. Except for a management fee, Landlord shall not collect more from Tenant in Operating Expenses than Landlord actually incurs for such Operating Expenses.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any given Expense Recovery Period earthquake insurance deductibles included in Project Costs shall be limited to an amount (the “Annual Limit”) not to exceed 0.5% of the total insurable value of the Project per occurrence (provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if, for any occurrence, the earthquake insurance deductible exceeds the Annual Limit, then, after such deductible is included (up to the Annual Limit) in Project Costs for the applicable Expense Recovery Period, such excess may be included (up to the Annual Limit) in Project Costs for the immediately succeeding Expense Recovery Period, and any portion of such excess that is not so included in Project Costs for such immediately succeeding Expense Recovery Period may be included (up to the Annual Limit) in Project Costs for the next succeeding Expense Recovery Period, and so on with respect to each subsequent Expense Recovery Period; provided further, however, that in no event shall the portions of such deductible that are included in Project Costs for any one or more Expense Recovery Periods exceed, in the aggregate, 5.0% of the total insurable value of the Project).
(h)The term “Property Taxes” shall include any form of federal, state, county or local government or municipal taxes, fees, charges or other impositions of every kind (whether general, special, ordinary or extraordinary) related to the ownership, leasing or operation of the Premises, Building or Project, including without limitation, the following: (i) all real estate taxes or personal property taxes levied against the Premises, the Building or Project, as such property taxes may be reassessed from time to time; and (ii) other taxes, charges and assessments which are levied on this Lease or to the Building and/or the Project, and any improvements, fixtures and equipment and other property of Landlord located in the Building and/or the Project, (iii) all assessments and fees levied upon the Building or the Project for public improvements, services, and facilities and impacts thereon, including without limitation arising out of any Community Facilities Districts, “Mello Roos” districts, similar assessment districts, and any traffic impact mitigation assessments or fees; (iv) any tax, surcharge or assessment which shall be levied upon the Building or the Project in addition to or in lieu of real estate or personal property taxes, and (v) taxes based on the receipt of rent (including gross receipts or sales taxes applicable to the receipt of rent), and (vi) costs and expenses incurred in contesting the amount or validity of any Property Tax by appropriate proceedings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, general net income or franchise taxes imposed against Landlord shall be excluded.
If Landlord appeals Property Taxes assessed against the Building for any fiscal year during the Term and receives any refund as a result of such appeal, Landlord shall credit Tenant for Tenant’s pro rata share of such refund (after deducting all expenses incurred in connection with the appeal), or if the Term has expired, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant’s pro rata share

The size, design, graphics, material, style, color and other physical aspects of all Exterior Signage shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) and the City of Sunnyvale, and shall be consistent with Landlord’s reasonable signage criteria for the Project, as in effect from time to time and approved by the City in which the Premises are located (“Signage Criteria”). Prior to installation, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of any applicable municipal or other governmental permits and approvals and evidence that the Exterior Signage is in compliance with any covenants, conditions or restrictions encumbering the Premises and the Signage Criteria. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs of any Exterior Signage, including, without limitation, the fabrication, installation, maintenance and removal thereof and the cost of any permits therefor. If Tenant fails to maintain any Exterior Signage in good condition, or if Tenant fails to remove same upon termination of this Lease and repair and restore any damage caused by the sign or its removal, Landlord may do so at Tenant’s expense. Landlord shall have the right to temporarily remove any signs in connection with any necessary repairs or maintenance in or upon the Building. Tenant shall use Landlord’s designated contractor for installing the Exterior Signage. The Exterior Signage shall consist only of the name “Siemens” or “Siemens Healthineers” or a similar derivation of either of the foregoing, and may not be transferred or assigned without Landlord’s prior written consent, which may be withheld by Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion; provided, however, (a) Landlord agrees not to withhold its consent to an assignment of Tenant’s signage rights under this Section in connection with an assignment of all of Tenant’s interest in the Lease which is permitted under this Lease or otherwise approved by Landlord, and (b) such signage right shall be deemed to be assignable to any applicable Permitted Transferee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1 above, in no event shall any “Objectionable Name” (as defined below) be placed on such signage. The term “Objectionable Name” shall mean any name which relates to an entity which is of a character or reputation, or is associated with a political orientation or faction, which is inconsistent with the quality of the Building as a first-class office building, or which would otherwise reasonably offend a landlord of comparable buildings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the logo and color for Siemens Healthineers shown on Exhibit G-1 is hereby approved by Landlord for Tenant’s signage. Tenant shall also remove all Exterior Signage promptly following the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. Any such removal shall be at Tenant’s sole expense, and Tenant shall bear the cost of any resulting repairs to the Building that are reasonably necessary due to the removal.

2.RIGHT TO EXTEND. Provided that Tenant is not in Default under any provision of this Lease at the time of exercise of the extension right granted herein, and provided further that Tenant and/or a Permitted Transferee is occupying the entire Premises and Tenant has not assigned or sublet any of its interest in this Lease (except in connection with a Permitted Transfer of this Lease to a Permitted Transferee as described in Section 9.1(e) hereof), Tenant may extend the Term of this Lease for one additional period of 60 months.
The Basic Rent and additional rent payable under the Lease during the extension of the Term shall be at the prevailing fair market rental rate (including applicable periodic adjustments) for comparable and similarly improved office space being leased in comparable buildings in Sunnyvale, California, as of the commencement of the extension period (the “Prevailing Rate”). The Prevailing Rate shall take into account (i) the quality of improvements and age of the Building (based on the date of construction or major renovation), (ii) the amount of applicable operating expenses charged in connection with the space, (ii) the level of leasehold improvements and improvement allowances, (iii) the value of rent credits and other concessions (but excluding construction periods), and (iv) any other relevant and generally applicable monetary considerations affecting the proper determination of the fair market value rental rate.
Tenant shall exercise its right to extend the Term by and only by the following procedure: Tenant may (but is not obligated to) deliver to Landlord, not less than 12 months nor more than 15 months prior to the expiration date of the Term, Tenant’s written notice of its interest to extend (the “Interest Notice”). Provided that an Interest Notice has been timely delivered, not later than 11 months prior to the expiration date of the Term, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the proposed Prevailing Rate for the Extension Term. Following receipt of Landlord’s proposed Prevailing Rate, Tenant, may deliver to Landlord, not later than 9 months prior to the expiration date of the Term (but not sooner than 30 days after receipt of Landlord’s proposed Prevailing Rate), notice of its irrevocable exercise of its right to extend this Lease (the “Commitment Notice”), which Commitment Notice shall include either Tenant’s acceptance of Landlord’s proposed Prevailing Rate or Tenant’s rejection of Landlord’s proposed Prevailing Rate. If Tenant fails to timely provide Landlord with a Commitment Notice, the extension right shall become null and void. If Tenant provides Landlord with a Commitment Notice, and accepts Landlord’s proposed Prevailing Rate, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an appropriate amendment to this Lease for the extension period (as provided below) upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. If Tenant provides a Commitment Notice, but rejects Landlord’s proposed Prevailing Rate, then the parties shall meet and confer and attempt to agree upon the Prevailing Rate. In the event that the parties are not able to agree on the Prevailing Rate within 120 days prior to the expiration date of the Term, then either party may elect, by written notice to the other party, to cause said rental, including subsequent adjustments, to be determined by appraisal as follows.
Within 10 days following receipt of such appraisal election, the parties shall attempt to agree on an appraiser to determine the Prevailing Rate. If the parties are unable to agree in that time, then each party shall designate an appraiser within 10 days thereafter. Should either party fail to so designate an appraiser within that time, then the appraiser designated by the other party shall determine the Prevailing Rate. Should each of the parties timely designate an appraiser, than the two appraisers so designated shall appoint a third appraiser who shall, acting alone, determine the fair market rental value of the Premises. Any appraiser designated hereunder shall have an M.A.I. certification or equivalent with not less than 5 years’ experience in the valuation of
EXHIBIT G
-2-
commercial office, research and development and life science buildings in Santa Clara County, California.
Within 10 days following the selection of the appraiser, Landlord and Tenant shall each submit in writing to the appraiser its determination of the rental rate for the extension period (respectively, the “Landlord’s Determination” and the “Tenant’s Determination”). Should either party fail timely to submit its rental determination, then the determination of the other party shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. The appraiser shall not disclose to either party the rental determination of the other party until the expiration of that 10 day period or, if sooner, the appraiser’s receipt of both the Landlord’s Determination and the Tenant’s Determination.
Within 30 days following the selection of the appraiser and such appraiser’s receipt of the Landlord’s Determination and the Tenant’s Determination, the appraiser shall determine whether the rental rate determined by Landlord or by Tenant more accurately reflects Prevailing Rate for the Premises, as reasonably extrapolated to the commencement of the extension term. Accordingly, either the Landlord’s Determination or the Tenant’s Determination shall be selected by the appraiser as the fair market rental rate for the extension period. In determining such value, the appraiser shall first consider comparable rentals for the Building and the Project, provided that if adequate comparables do not exist then the appraiser may consider transactions involving similarly improved space in comparable buildings in Sunnyvale with appropriate adjustments for differences in location and quality of project. In no event shall the appraiser attribute factors for brokerage commissions to reduce said fair market rental. At any time before the decision of the appraiser is rendered, either party may, by written notice to the other party, accept the rental terms submitted by the other party, in which event such terms shall be deemed adopted as the agreed fair market rental. The fees of the appraiser(s) shall be shared equally by both parties.
Within 20 days after the determination of the Prevailing Rate, Landlord shall prepare a reasonably appropriate and mutually and reasonably acceptable amendment to this Lease for the extension period and Tenant shall execute and return same to Landlord within 10 days. Should the Prevailing Rate not be established by the commencement of the extension period, then Tenant shall continue paying rent at the rate in effect during the last month of the initial Term, and a lump sum adjustment shall be made promptly upon the determination of such new rental.
If Tenant fails to timely comply with any of the provisions of this paragraph, Tenant’s right to extend the Term may, at Landlord’s election and in addition to any other remedies that may be available to Landlord, be extinguished, in which event the Lease shall automatically terminate as of the initial expiration date of the Term. Any attempt to assign or transfer any right or interest created by this Section to another party other than a Permitted Transferee shall be void from its inception. Tenant shall have no other right to extend the Term beyond the single 60 month extension created by this Section.
3.RIGHT TO TERMINATE. Provided Tenant is not then in Default under any provision of this Lease, Tenant shall have a one-time right to terminate this Lease effective as of the expiration of the 60th month of the initial Term. Tenant shall exercise such termination right by giving written notice thereof to Landlord (the “Termination Notice”) at least 12 months prior to the effective date of termination. All Rent and other costs due under this Lease for the Premises shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord through the effective date of termination. In
EXHIBIT G
-3-
addition, should Tenant exercise the foregoing right to terminate, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within 45 days of its delivery of the Termination Notice (and as a condition subsequent to the effectiveness thereof), a separate termination fee, as reasonably computed by Landlord, comprised of the following: (i) 5 months of Basic Rent at the rate payable in effect as of 60th month of the initial Term; plus (ii) the unamortized portion (based upon a constant, straight line amortization over an 89 month period with 8% interest) as of the effective date of termination of (A) brokerage commissions paid by Landlord in connection with the Lease, (B) tenant improvement allowance funded by Landlord (but not including any supervision/administrative fee collected by Landlord in connection therewith); plus (iii) unamortized Abated Basic Rent (i.e. based upon the amortization of the Abated Basic Rent in equal monthly amounts during the initial Term, without interest), if any. Tenant’s rights under this Section shall be personal to the original Tenant named in this Lease and may not be assigned or transferred (except in connection with a Permitted Transfer of this Lease to an Affiliate as described in Section 9.1(e) hereof). Any other attempted assignment or transfer shall be void and of no force or effect.
4.SATELLITE DISH; ROOFTOP EQUIPMENT. Tenant shall have the right to maintain and operate within an area or areas reasonably designated by Landlord on the roof of the Building (the “Rooftop Area”), during the Term of this Lease, reasonable quantities and sizes of satellite dishes up to 24 inches in diameter (of which the height, appearance and installation procedures must be approved in writing by Landlord), antennas and related communications equipment and/or supplemental HVAC equipment (collectively the “Rooftop Equipment”) in accordance with and subject to the following terms. Landlord may impose a reasonable architectural review fee in connection with its approval of the Dish, and Tenant shall pay same promptly following demand. Tenant shall utilize a contractor acceptable to Landlord to install the Rooftop Equipment, which contractor shall comply with Landlord’s construction rules for the Building, including without limitation Landlord’s standard insurance requirements. Tenant shall use the Rooftop Area only for the operation and maintenance of the Rooftop Equipment and the necessary mechanical and electrical equipment to service the Rooftop Equipment. The right to utilize the Rooftop Equipment and Rooftop Area shall be limited solely to Tenant, and in no event may Tenant assign or sublicense such right (except in connection with an approved assignment of this Lease or a permitted assignment to an Affiliate as described in Section 9.1(e) hereof). Tenant shall not use or permit any other person to use the Rooftop Area for any improper use or for any operation which would constitute a nuisance, and Tenant shall at all times conform to and cause all persons using any part of the Rooftop Area to comply with all public laws, ordinances and regulations from time to time applicable thereto and to all operations thereon. In the event a pre-existing cable television system is operating in the area, Tenant shall at all times conduct its operations so as to ensure that the cable television system shall not be subject to harmful interference as a result of such operations by Tenant. Upon notification from Landlord of any such interference, Tenant agrees to immediately take the necessary steps to correct such situation. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall comply with any standards promulgated by applicable governmental authorities or otherwise reasonably established by Landlord regarding the Tenant’s generation of electromagnetic fields in relation to the Rooftop Equipment. Should Landlord determine in good faith at any time that the Rooftop Equipment poses a health or safety hazard to occupants of the Building or the proper functioning of the Building systems, Landlord may require Tenant to remove the Rooftop Equipment or make other arrangements satisfactory to Landlord. Any claim or liability resulting from the use of the Rooftop Equipment shall be subject to Tenant’s indemnification obligation as set forth in Section 10.3 of the Lease. Upon the expiration or earlier
EXHIBIT G

termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove the Rooftop Equipment and all other equipment installed by it and shall restore the Rooftop Area to its original condition.

EXHIBIT X
-3-
after November 1, 2022. As used herein, the term “Commencement Date Delay” shall mean only a “Force Majeure Delay” or a “Landlord Caused Delay,” as those terms are defined below in this Section III.A of this Work Letter. As used herein, the term “Force Majeure Delay” shall mean an actual delay not known to the party claiming such delay or otherwise existing as of the date hereof resulting from strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbance, fire, wind, damage or destruction to the Building, explosion, casualty, flood, hurricane, tornado, the elements, acts of God or the public enemy, pandemic (but only to the extent an actual delay results from Tenant’s inability to complete construction of the Tenant Improvements (or Landlord’s inability to complete construction of the Landlord’s Work) due to a government mandated cessation of construction activity), sabotage, embargo, war, terrorist acts, invasion, insurrection, rebellion, civil unrest, riots, or earthquakes. As used in this Work Letter, “Landlord Caused Delay” shall mean actual delays to the extent resulting from (i) the failure of Landlord to timely approve or disapprove any Tenant submittals; (ii) interference (when judged in accordance with industry custom and practice) by Landlord or its agents (except as otherwise allowed under this Work Letter) with the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements and which objectively preclude or delay the construction of Tenant Improvements, which interference relates to access by Tenant, or Tenant’s agents and contractors to the Building; (iii) Landlord’s breach of its obligations under the Lease; or (iv) delays resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, or any of its agents, employees, contractors, or subcontractors in connection with the Tenant Improvements.
B. | If Tenant contends that a Commencement Date Delay has occurred, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of the event which constitutes such Commencement Date Delay. If such actions, inaction or circumstance described in the notice set forth in the preceding sentence of this Section III.A. of this Work Letter (the “Delay Notice”) constitute a Landlord Caused Delay and are not cured by Landlord within two (2) business days of Landlord’s receipt of the Delay Notice and if such action, inaction or circumstance otherwise qualify as a Landlord Caused Delay, then a Commencement Date Delay shall be deemed to have occurred commencing as of the date of Landlord’s receipt of the Delay Notice and ending as of the date such delay ends. For purposes of this Section III.A., “Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements” shall mean completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements pursuant to the approved construction drawings, with the exception of any punch list items that do not materially impair Tenant’s normal business operations in the Premises and the Premises is ready for occupancy by Tenant. |
IV.LANDLORD’S WORK.
Landlord will, at its sole cost and expense, complete the following work in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformance with Landlord’s standard specifications for the Building, and in compliance with applicable laws to the extent necessary to receive a signed off permit or similar work sign off from the City of Sunnyvale (“Landlord’s Work”):

● | New lobby |
● | New restroom cores with 5 fixtures and showers |
● | New interior breakroom with roll up door to an adjacent patio with furniture New HVAC equipment serving the Building totaling 75 tons |
The Landlord’s Work is more particularly described on Schedule 1 hereto.

Within five (5) business days after the Landlord’s architect or engineer certifies that the Landlord’s Work is substantially complete, Tenant and Landlord, shall jointly conduct a walk-through of the Premises and shall jointly prepare a punch list of items needing additional work (“Punch List Items”). Punch List Items shall be those items which are a part of the Landlord’s Work which are details of construction, decoration and mechanical and electrical adjustments which (i) in the aggregate, are minor in character and do not adversely affect Tenant’s use or enjoyment of the Premises or Tenant’s ability to perform its work on the Tenant Improvements, and (ii) the completion or correction of which, will not materially interfere with Tenant’s use or occupation of the Premises or Tenant’s ability to perform its work on the Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall promptly begin and diligently pursue until completion the correction of Punch List items after delivery of the punch list.
