The Sublessor leases the Premises from The Irvine Company LLC (the “Prime Landlord”) pursuant to a Lease, dated January 28, 2002, as amended (the “Prime Lease”). The Sublease was consented to by the Prime Landlord and became effective on the Effective Date. The Premises will serve as the Company’s new corporate headquarters and principal office space.
This Sublease will commence upon the later of (i) the Effective Date, (ii) December 2, 2018, or (iii) the date on which Sublessor delivers possession of the Premises to the Company and will expire on January 20, 2020. The Company has no option to renew or extend the Sublease under its terms.
