Procedures

These Rules & Regulations, as amended from time-to-time by HCP Oyster Point III, LLC (“Landlord”), shall govern all activities which take place at The Cove in South San Francisco, California (“the Center”). As used in these Rules & Regulations, the term “Tenant” includes any person or entity that leases space in the Center from Landlord and any person or entity that subleases spaced in the Center from another occupied by a particular Tenant under that Tenant’s Lease with Landlord or sublease from another Tenant.

1. All loading and unloading of goods shall be done only at such times, in such areas, and through such entrances as may be designated for such purposes from time-to-time by Landlord. Each Tenant shall load and unload goods only in the areas and through the entrances assigned to that Tenant by Landlord for that purpose. No Tenant shall in any way obstruct any other Tenant’s designated location for loading and unloading of goods nor otherwise impede or hinder any other Tenant’s ability to use its designated location for the loading and unloading of goods.


2. All garbage and refuse shall be kept in containers specified or approved by Landlord, shall be placed in the location or designation by Landlord and shall be prepared for collection in the manner and at the times and places required by the trash collection service for the Center. Tenant shall refrain from placing any of its garbage or refuse in receptacles assigned to any other Tenant or, on the ground in or around the trash enclosure. Each Tenant shall pay the cost of removal of its refuse or garbage. If Landlord shall designate a service for picking up refuse and garbage, each Tenant shall use the same at that Tenant’s cost. No Tenant shall place in any trash receptacle any material, which cannot be disposed of, in the ordinary practice of trash disposal. Trash receptacles in the Center are intended solely for the disposal of refuse or debris from the respective Tenant’s business activities conducted within its Premises, and are not to be used for refuse or debris generated by a Tenant’s off-site activities.


3. No Tenant shall, without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, (i) erect any antenna or dish, loudspeaker, recreational equipment, or other improvement, on the roof or exterior walls of the Premises or, on the grounds of the Center, or, (ii) make any penetration in the roof or exterior walls of the Premises. Any such work or improvement that is completed without first obtaining the written consent of the Landlord may be removed without notice at any time at the sole cost of the Tenant who completed the work or improvement.


4. No Tenant shall, without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, use any loudspeaker, television, phonograph, radio, or other similar device in such a manner that the device may be heard or seen outside of the Premises. Each Tenant shall conduct its business in a quiet and orderly manner so as to not create unreasonable noise.


5. No Tenant shall, without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, inscribe, display, print or affix any sign, placard, picture, advertisement, name or notice on or to any part of the Center or of the Premises if that sign, placard, picture, advertisement, name or notice would be visible from the outside of the Premises. All Tenants’ identification signs and lettering shall be completed in accordance with all applicable laws and restrictions. All approved signs or lettering on doors shall be printed, painted, affixed or inscribed at the expense of the respective Tenant by a person approved by the Landlord.


6. The sidewalks, driveways, passages, parking lots, exits and entrances in the Center shall not be obstructed by any Tenant or used by any Tenant for any purpose other than ingress and egress to and from the Center and parking adjacent to the Tenant’s Premises. No Tenant shall in any way impede, obstruct or restrict any other Tenant’s ingress or egress from that other Tenant’s Premises or related facilities. The sidewalks, driveways, passages, parking lots, exits and entrances of the Center are not for the use of the general public. Landlord retains the right to control and prevent access to such areas by any and all persons whose presence, in Landlord’s judgment, might be prejudicial to the safety, character, reputation, and interests of the Center and its Tenants. However, nothing contained within this paragraph shall be construed to prevent such access by any person with whom a Tenant normally deals in the ordinary course of the Tenant’s business, unless such person is engaged in illegal activities, is engaged in activities not permitted by the terms of the Tenant’s Lease with Landlord, or is creating a nuisance.


7. The outside areas immediately adjoining each Tenant’s Premises shall be kept unobstructed and clear and free from dirt and rubbish.


8. No Tenant shall park or permit the parking of any vehicle under its control or the control of any employee, invitee, contractor or agent of that Tenant in any parking area assigned by Landlord to another Tenant. The only vehicles allowed to be parked in the parking area are automobiles, motorcycles, motor-driven or non-motor-driven bicycles or trucks. All vehicles must be parked entirely within the painted stall lines of a single parking stall. Each Tenant shall be responsible for insuring that its employees, invitees, contractors and agents observe all parking regulations as stated by Landlord from time-to-time. Vehicles parked in violation of the foregoing Rules shall be subject to removal by Landlord at the sole cost and expense of the vehicle owner.

The above does not include towing an inoperable vehicle from the site, flat tire repair, or emergency use of jumper cables.


10. The plumbing facilities in the Center shall not be used for any other purpose other than that for which they are constructed, and no foreign substances of any kind whatsoever shall be placed therein. Each Tenant shall bear the cost of any breakage, stoppage, or damage resulting from the violation of this Rule by that Tenant or by that Tenant’s employees, invitees, contractors, or agents.


11. Each Tenant shall use, at that Tenant’s cost, such pest extermination contractor as Landlord may direct and at such intervals as Landlord may require.

Any such fluids, chemicals, or substances shall be stored only in amounts that are reasonable for such approved use, and only in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, codes, ordinances, rules, and regulations.


17. Landlord will furnish each Tenant with two (2) keys to each door lock in such Tenant’s Premises free of charge. Landlord may make a reasonable charge for any additional keys made at the request of the Tenant. No Tenant shall, without the prior written consent of Landlord, (i) place any additional lock, bolt, or mail slot upon any of the doors or windows of the Premises, nor (ii) make any change in the existing locks or the mechanism of those locks. If Landlord gives its written consent to any change listed in the previous sentence, the Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a key for any such lock.
