Exhibit 10.19A
SUBLEASE
     THIS SUBLEASE (this “Sublease”) is dated for reference purposes as of October 1, 2010, and is made by and between BigBand Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sublessor”), and SimpliVT Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Sublessee”). Sublessor and Sublessee hereby agree as follows:
     1. Recitals: This Sublease is made with reference to the fact that Gateway Sherwood, Inc., as landlord (“Master Lessor”), and Sublessor, as tenant, entered into that certain lease, dated as of August 25, 2006 (the “Master Lease”), with respect to premises consisting of approximately 87,319 square feet of space, located at 8 Technology Drive, Westborough, Massachusetts (the “Premises”). A copy of the Master Lease is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
     2. Premises: Sublessor hereby subleases to Sublessee, and Sublessee hereby subleases from Sublessor, a portion of the Premises consisting of approximately 10,826 rentable square feet of space located on the second floor of the Premises (hereinafter, the “Subleased Premises”). The Subleased Premises are more particularly described on Exhibit B attached hereto.
     3. Term:
          A. Term. The term (the “Term”) of this Sublease shall be for the period commencing on upon Sublessor’s completion of the work described in the second sentence of Paragraph 7 below, which Sublessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to occur no later than October 15, 2010 (the “Commencement Date”) and ending on March 30, 2012 (the “Expiration Date”), unless this Sublease is sooner terminated pursuant to its terms or the Master Lease is sooner terminated pursuant to its terms. Sublessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete such work by September 15, 2010, subject to receipt of Master Lessor’s consent to such work and to this Sublease.
          B. Early Possession. Sublessor shall permit Sublessee to enter the Subleased Premises commencing upon execution of this Sublease solely for the purpose of preparing the Subleased Premises for occupancy and not for the purpose of conducting business therein, provided (i) Master Lessor’s consent to this Sublease has been received, (ii) Sublessee has delivered to Sublessor the Security Deposit and first month’s Base Rent as required under Paragraph 4 and (iii) Sublessee has delivered to Sublessor evidence of all insurance required under this Sublease. Such occupancy shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Sublease, except for the obligation to pay Base Rent and/or electricity and shall not advance the Expiration Date of this Sublease.
          C. No Option to Extend. The parties hereby acknowledge that the expiration date of the Master Lease is March 31, 2012 and that Sublessee has no option to extend the Term of this Sublease. For the avoidance of doubt, however, nothing in this Sublease shall at any time limit or preclude Sublessee from entering into direct negotiations with Master Lessor with respect to additional or different space in the Premises.
     4. Rent:
          A. Base Rent. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor as base rent for the Subleased Premises for each month during the Term the amount of Twelve Thousand One Hundred Seventy-Nine and 25/100 Dollars ($12,179.25) per month (“Base Rent”). Base Rent and Additional Rent, as defined in Paragraph 4.B below, shall be paid on or before the first (1st) day of each month. Base Rent and Additional Rent for any period during the Term hereof which is for less than one (1) month of the Term shall be a pro rata portion of the monthly installment based on a thirty (30) day month. Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be payable

-1-


 

without notice or demand and without any deduction, offset, or abatement, in lawful money of the United States of America. Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be paid directly to Sublessor at 475 Broadway Street, Redwood City, CA 94063, Attention: Accounts Receivable, or such other address as may be designated in writing by Sublessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Sublessee is not in default under this Sublease beyond applicable notice and cure periods during such periods, Base Rent for the first thirty (30) days of the Term and the month of March 2012 shall be abated.
          B. Additional Rent. In addition to Base Rent, Sublessee shall also pay for all electricity used in the Subleased Premises, including the HVAC serving the Subleased Premises, which electricity shall be separately metered. Sublessor shall send to Sublessee a written invoice for electricity, which invoice shall be due within ten (10) days of the date such invoice is sent. Sublessee shall also pay any cost or expense is incurred under the Master Lease as a result of Sublessee’s negligence, willful misconduct, violation of this Sublease, request for certain services or requirement of additional services. All amounts payable under this Sublease in addition to Base Rent shall be deemed additional rent (“Additional Rent”). Base Rent and Additional Rent hereinafter collectively shall be referred to as “Rent”. For the avoidance of doubt, at no additional expense to Sublessee and without inclusion in “Rent” (except for the electricity charges above and the HVAC charges below), Sublessee shall be permitted to use all of the services provided by Master Lessor under Section 13.1 of the Master Lease (including utilities and janitorial service), the restrooms in the common areas of the building in which the Premises are located (the “Building”) and the storage closets within the Subleased Premises.
          C. Payment of First Month’s Rent. Upon execution hereof by Sublessee, Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor the sum of Twelve Thousand One Hundred Seventy-Nine and 25/100 Dollars ($12,179.25), which shall constitute Base Rent for the first full calendar month of the Term for which Base Rent is not abated.
     5. Security Deposit and Letter of Credit: Upon execution hereof by Sublessee, Sublessee shall provide to Sublessor (a) a cash security deposit (the “Security Deposit”) in the amount of Twenty-Four Thousand Three Hundred Fifty-Eight and 50/100 Dollars ($24,358.50) and (b) an irrevocable letter of credit in the principal amount of Seventy-Three Thousand Seventy-Five and 50/100 Dollars ($73,075.50) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Letter of Credit”), issued by [SIBLESEE’S BANK] (the “LC Bank”), as security for the performance by Sublessee of the terms and conditions of this Sublease. Promptly following the timely payment of Base Rent by Sublessee during each of the seventh (7th) through twelfth (12th) months of the Term (provided no default under this Sublease has occurred), Sublessor shall take such reasonable actions as determined by Sublessee to be necessary to cause the principal amount of the Letter of Credit to be reduced by Twelve Thousand One Hundred Seventy-Nine and 25/100 Dollars ($12,179.25) for such month, so that upon the payment of Base Rent for the twelfth (12th) month of the Term (provided no default under this Sublease has occurred), the Letter of Credit shall be released in its entirety by the LC Bank to Sublessee and Sublessee shall have no further obligation to provide the Letter of Credit. Sublessor shall be entitled to draw upon the full amount of the Letter of Credit upon any default by Sublessee and shall hold the proceeds to the Letter of Credit that are not immediately applied to cure a default as a cash Security Deposit as provided in this section. The Security Deposit shall be held in accordance with the terms of Section 5.1 of the Master Lease, as incorporated herein.
     6. Holdover: The parties hereby acknowledge that the expiration date of the Master Lease is March 31, 2012 and that it is therefore critical that Sublessee surrender the Subleased Premises to Sublessor no later than the Expiration Date in accordance with the terms of this Sublease. In the event that Sublessee does not surrender the Subleased Premises by the Expiration Date in accordance with the terms of this Sublease, Sublessee shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Sublessor from and against all loss and liability resulting from Sublessee’s delay in surrendering the Subleased Premises and pay Sublessor holdover rent in the amount set forth in Section 14 of the Master Lease.

     7. Repairs: The parties acknowledge and agree that Sublessee is subleasing the Subleased Premises on an “as is” basis, and that Sublessor has made no representations or warranties with respect to the condition of the Subleased Premises except as set forth in this paragraph. Prior to the Commencement Date, Sublessor shall, at Sublessor’s sole cost, (a) replace the missing carpet in the Subleased Premises, (b) shampoo the remaining carpet in the Subleased Premises, (c) repaint all of the walls in the Subleased Premises using at least two (2) colors to be reasonably approved by Subtenant and (d) re-install a minimum of 400 amps of power to the lab within the Subleased Premises. Except as set forth in this paragraph, Sublessor shall have no obligation whatsoever to make or pay the cost of any alterations, improvements or repairs to the Subleased Premises, including, without limitation, any improvement or repair required to comply with any law; provided, however, Sublessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts (without requiring Sublessor to initiate litigation) to (i) obtain the consent of Master Lessor under Section 6.1 of the Master Lease with respect to the alterations set forth in subparts (a)-(d) of this Paragraph 7, (ii) cause Master Lessor to perform its obligations under the Master Lease at Sublessee’s written request, (iii) obtain the consent of Master Lessor for the installation by Sublessee of the sinks and kitchenette contemplated by Section 12, and (iv) assist in the engagement by Sublessee of the applicable contractors for purposes of completing such improvements in (iii) above. Master Lessor shall be solely responsible for performance of any repairs required to be performed by Master Lessor under the terms of the Master Lease. Sublessee shall be solely responsible for all required maintenance and service on the HVAC unit serving the lab in the Subleased Premises. In addition, in accordance with the provisions of the Master Lease, Sublessee shall have the ability to operate the HVAC service to the Subleased Premises at any time outside of normal hours of operation for the Building by (i) providing to Sublessor proper notice, and (ii) paying the after hours HVAC charge of $50.00 per hour. For the avoidance of doubt, the last sentence of Section 6.2 of the Master Lease shall not apply hereunder except and to the extent that Sublessor is obligated to pay such amounts to Master Lessor.
     8. Assignment and Subletting. Sublessee may not assign this Sublease, sublet the Subleased Premises, transfer any interest of Sublessee therein or permit any use of the Subleased Premises by another party (collectively, “Transfer”), without the prior written consent of Sublessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and Master Lessor, and shall not have any right to Transfer less than all of the Subleased Premises. Any Transfer shall be subject to the terms of Section 9 of the Master Lease.
     9. Use: Sublessee may use the Subleased Premises only for the use permitted under Section 1.1 of the Master Lease. Sublessee shall not use, store, transport or dispose of any Hazardous Material in or about the Subleased Premises other than cleaning and equipment supplies in reasonable quantities for normal maintenance of equipment and cleaning of the Subleased Premises as permitted in the second sentence of Section 1.2 of the Master Lease. Sublessee shall have the right to use the existing network cabling presently in the Subleased Premises. Any additional cabling needed in the Subleased Premises shall be Sublessee’s responsibility. Sublessee shall comply with all reasonable rules and regulations promulgated from time to time by Master Lessor provided that Sublessee receives written notice thereof. Sublessee may access the freight elevator and loading dock within the Premises from time to time pursuant to mutually acceptable access terms to be agreed upon between Sublessor and Sublessee.
     10. Effect of Conveyance: As used in this Sublease, the term “Sublessor” means the holder of the tenant’s interest under the Master Lease. In the event of any assignment, transfer or termination of the tenant’s interest under the Master Lease, which assignment, transfer or termination may occur at any time during the Term hereof in Sublessor’s sole discretion, Sublessor shall be and hereby is entirely relieved of all covenants and obligations of Sublessor hereunder, provided that such transferee has assumed in writing all covenants and obligations thereafter to be performed by Sublessor hereunder. Sublessor may transfer and deliver any security of Sublessee to the transferee of the tenant’s interest under the Master Lease, and thereupon Sublessor shall be discharged from any further liability with respect thereto.

     11. Delivery and Acceptance: If Sublessor fails to deliver possession of the Subleased Premises to Sublessee on or before October 24, 2010 for any reason other than Sublessee’s delay, then Sublessee shall have the right to terminate this Sublease by delivering to Sublessor ten (10) business days written notice of such termination at any time prior to such delivery; provided, however, Sublessor shall not be liable to Sublessee for any loss or damage arising from such delay and termination. In the event that Sublessee elects not to terminate this Sublease, Rent shall abate until Sublessor delivers possession of the Subleased Premises to Sublessee. By taking possession of the Subleased Premises, Sublessee conclusively shall be deemed to have accepted the Subleased Premises in their as-is, then-existing condition, without any warranty whatsoever of Sublessor with respect thereto.
     12. Improvements: No alteration or improvements shall be made to the Subleased Premises, except in accordance with the Master Lease, and with the prior written consent of both Master Lessor and Sublessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the prior written consent of Master Lessor and Sublessor as to the specifications thereof, in accordance with the terms of Section 6 of the Master Lease, as incorporated herein, and subject to the rights of Master Lessor and Sublessor to require Sublessee to remove such improvements upon the termination of this Sublease except as provided in Section 15 below, Sublessee may, at its sole expense, (a) install two (2) operating sinks, (b) add additional cooling to the lab area within the Subleased Premises to supplement the 15 tons of AC currently serving such lab, which cooling must be separately metered to Sublessee, (c) operate the cooling in such lab area on a 24x7 basis, and (d) construct a kitchenette in the Subleased Premises.
     13. Insurance: Sublessee shall obtain and keep in full force and effect, with respect to the Subleased Premises, at Sublessee’s sole cost and expense, during the Term the insurance required under Section 11 of the Master Lease. Sublessee shall name Master Lessor and Sublessor as additional insureds under its liability insurance policy. The release and waiver of subrogation set forth in Section 12 of the Master Lease, as incorporated herein, shall be binding on the parties.
     14. Default; Remedies: Sublessee shall be in material default of its obligations under this Sublease if Sublessee commits any act or omission which constitutes a default under the Master Lease, which has not been cured after delivery of written notice and passage of the applicable grace period provided in the Master Lease as modified, if at all, expressly by the provisions of this Sublease. In the event of any default by Sublessee, Sublessor shall have all remedies provided pursuant to Section 19 of the Master Lease and by applicable law. Sublessor may resort to its remedies cumulatively or in the alternative.
     15. Surrender: Prior to expiration of this Sublease, Sublessee shall remove all of its furniture (including the Furniture), equipment and trade fixtures and shall surrender the Subleased Premises to Sublessor in vacant, broom clean, good condition, subject to reasonable wear and tear, and otherwise in the condition required under the Master Lease. If the Subleased Premises are not so surrendered, then Sublessee shall be liable to Sublessor for all actual, third party out-of-pocket costs incurred by Sublessor in returning the Subleased Premises to the required condition and such failure shall constitute a holdover as provided in Paragraph 6 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Sublessee shall not be obligated to remove (i) the additional cooling HVAC added to the lab area in accordance with Section 12(b), or (ii) the kitchenette constructed in the Subleased Premises in accordance with Section 12(d), but Sublessee shall otherwise return such portions of the Subleased Premises to Sublessor in vacant, broom clean, good condition, subject to reasonable wear and tear, and otherwise in the condition required under the Master Lease.
     16. Broker: Sublessor and Sublessee each represent to the other that they have dealt with no real estate brokers, finders, agents or salesmen other than R.W. Holmes, representing Sublessor, and T3 Advisors, representing Sublessee, in connection with this transaction. Each party agrees to hold the other party harmless from and against all claims for brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or other compensation made by any other agent, broker, salesman or finder as a consequence of such party’s actions or dealings with such agent, broker, salesman, or finder.
