Letter of Credit 27.1 Upon signing this Lease, Tenant shall cause to be delivered to Landlord an original irrevocable standby letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in the amount specified in the Basic Lease Information (the “Letter of Credit Amount”), naming Landlord as beneficiary, which Landlord may draw upon, without prejudice to any other remedy provided in the Lease or by applicable law, to the extent necessary to satisfy past due rent or to satisfy any other loss or damage resulting from Xxxxxx’s breach under the Lease, Any such draw on the Letter of Credit shall not constitute a waiver of any other rights of Landlord with respect to such default or failure to perform. The Letter of Credit shall be issued by a major commercial bank with a San Francisco, California service and claim point for the Letter of Credit, whose deposits are insured by the FDIC, and who shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord (such approved, issuing bank being referred to herein as the “Bank”), which Bank must have a short term Fitch Rating which is not less than “F2”, a long term Fitch Rating which is not less than “BBB”, a short term rating from Standard and Poor’s Financial Services, LLC (“S&P”) of not less than “A2”, a long term S&P rating of not less than “BBB” a short term rating from Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) of not less than “P2”, and a long term Xxxxx’x rating of not less than “Baa3” (collectively, the “Bank’s Credit Rating Threshold”). The Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date not earlier than the sixtieth (60th) day after the Expiration Date (or, in the alternative, have a term of not less than one (1) year and be automatically renewable for an additional one (1) year period unless notice of non-renewal is given by the issuer to Landlord not later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration thereof) and shall provide that Landlord may make partial and multiple draws thereunder, up to the face amount thereof. In addition, the Letter of Credit shall provide that, in the event of Landlord’s assignment or other transfer of its interest in this Lease, the Letter of Credit shall be freely transferable by Landlord, without charge and without recourse, to the assignee or transferee of such interest and the bank shall confirm the same to Landlord and such assignee or transferee. The Letter of Credit shall provide for payment to Landlord upon the issuer’s receipt of a sight draft from Landlord together with Landlord’s certificate certifying that Landlord is entitled to such payment pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, and with no other conditions, shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, and otherwise be in form and content satisfactory to Landlord. If the Letter of Credit has an expiration date earlier than the Expiration Date, then throughout the term hereof (including any renewal or extension of the term) Tenant shall provide evidence of renewal of the Letter of Credit to Landlord at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the Letter of Credit expires. If Landlord draws on the Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms hereof, Tenant shall immediately replenish the Letter of Credit or provide Landlord with an additional letter of credit conforming to the requirement of this paragraph so that the amount available to Landlord from the Letter of Credit(s) provided hereunder is the Letter of Credit Amount. In addition to the other reasons set forth herein entitling Landlord to draw down on the Letter of Credit, Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall also have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the Letter of Credit if the applicable rating of the Bank has been reduced below the Bank’s Credit Rating Threshold, and Tenant has failed to provide Landlord with a replacement letter of credit, conforming in all respects to the requirements of this section 27.1 (including, but not limited to, the requirements placed on the issuing Bank more particularly set forth above), in the Letter of Credit Amount, within twenty-five (25) days following Landlord’s written demand therefor (with no other notice or cure or grace period being applicable thereto, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary). In addition, in the event the Bank is placed into receivership or conservatorship by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any successor or similar entity, then, effective as of the date such receivership or conservatorship occurs, said Letter of Credit shall be deemed to fail to meet the requirements of this section 27.1, and, within twenty-five (25) days following Landlord’s notice to Tenant of such receivership or conservatorship, Tenant shall replace such Letter of Credit with a substitute letter of credit from a different issuer (which issuer shall meet or exceed the Bank’s Credit Rating Threshold) and that complies in all respects with the requirements of this section 27.1. Tenant’s failure to deliver any replacement, additional or extension of the Letter of Credit, or evidence of renewal of the Letter of Credit, within the time specified under this Lease shall entitle Landlord to draw upon the Letter of Credit then in effect and, at Landlord’s election, constitute an Event of Default under this Lease. If Landlord liquidates the Letter of Credit as provided in the preceding sentence, Landlord shall hold the funds received from the Letter of Credit as security for Tenant’s performance under this Lease, and Landlord shall not be required to segregate such security deposit from its other funds and no interest shall accrue or be payable to Tenant with respect thereto. No purchaser at any judicial or private foreclosure sale of the Building or any portion thereof, shall be responsible to Tenant for such security deposit unless and only to the extent such holder or purchaser shall have actually received the same. If Tenant is not in default at the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord shall return to Tenant the Letter of Credit or the balance of the security deposit then held by Landlord, as applicable; provided, however, that in no event shall any such return be construed as an admission by Landlord that Xxxxxx has performed all of its covenants and obligations hereunder. Tenant hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives the benefits and protections of California Civil Code Section 1950.7, and, without limitation of the scope of such waiver, acknowledges that Landlord may use all or any part of the Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof to compensate Landlord for damages resulting from termination of this Lease and the tenancy created hereunder (including, without limitation, damages recoverable under California Civil Code Section 1951.2).
