Immersion Corporation (the “Company”) is a party to an Office Lease, dated as of September 15, 2011, by and between the Company and Carr NP Properties, LLC, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Office Lease, dated as of November 12, 2014 (as amended, the “Master Lease”), by and between the Company and BSREP Rio Robles LLC (as successor-in-interest to Carr NP Properties, LLC) (the “Landlord”), for approximately 42,000 square feet located at 50 Rio Robles, San Jose, California 95134 (the “Premises”).
On March 12, 2020, the Company entered into a Sublease (the “Sublease”) with Neato Robotics, Inc. (the “Sublessee”), pursuant to which the Company subleased the Premises to the Sublessee. The term of the Sublease commences upon the later of (i) May 1, 2020 and (ii) fifteen (15) days following the Landlord’s consent to the Sublease and continues until April 30, 2023 (the “Term”).
The monthly base rent for each month of the Term is set forth below:

Months 1 to 12 | $85,632.60 |
Months 13 to 24 | $88,201.58 |

The first month of the Term is subject to abatement by the Company. The Sublessee will also pay additional rent to the Company covering all costs directly incurred by or at the request of the Sublessee with respect to its use of the Premises and any cost or expense incurred under the Master Lease for the Sublessee’s sole benefit (including for utilities) or as a result of the Sublessee’s request for certain services.
The Sublease is conditioned upon the written consent of the Landlord. If the Company fails to obtain the Landlord’s consent within 30 days after March 13, 2020, then the Sublessee may terminate the Sublease by giving the Company written notice thereof prior to the date such consent is received.
