Explanatory Note: We are filing this Current Report on Form 8-K/A solely for the purpose of filing a copy of the Standard Form Modified Gross Office Lease dated November 10, 2010, with Sunroad Centrum I, L.P., as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On November 10, 2010, we entered into a Standard Form Modified Gross Office Lease (“Lease”) with Sunroad Centrum Office I, L.P. (“Sunroad”), for approximately 193,000 rentable square feet of office space in an eight-story building to be built in the Sunroad Centrum Project in San Diego, California. We currently lease from Sunroad approximately 248,000 rentable square feet in an 11-story building in the Sunroad Centrum Project. We intend to use the new space primarily for administrative offices, meeting rooms and online support services.
The initial term of the Lease is 12 years (plus any additional days required for the expiration date to occur on the last day of a month), commencing on the rent commencement date for the Lease, with two five-year renewal options. The rent commencement date for the Lease will be the fifth business day following (1) the delivery date for the Lease, or (2) the date that the delivery would have occurred but for tenant delays. The delivery date for the Lease will be the date on which Sunroad tenders possession of the premises by delivering written notice to us that its work is substantially completed and providing us with the keys to the premises. The delivery date will occur no later than January 31, 2013, subject to delays resulting from force majeure events, extraordinary events and/or tenant delays.
The monthly base rent over the initial term of the Lease increases from $604,000 during the first year to $823,000 during the twelfth year. The total amount of base rent payments over the initial term of the Lease is $99.7 million. We are also obligated to make additional rent payments to the extent building operating costs and certain other expenses exceed the thresholds specified in the Lease.
