• Landlord’s Responsibilities (a) Landlord shall correct, repair or replace, at Landlord's sole cost and expense and not as a Project Cost, any non-compliance of the Building exterior and the Common Areas with all applicable building permits and codes in effect as of the Commencement Date, including, without limitation, the provisions of Title III of the Americans With Disabilities Act ("ADA") in effect as of the Commencement Date. Said costs of compliance shall be Landlord's sole cost and shall not be part of Project Costs. Landlord shall correct, repair or replace any non-compliance of the Building exterior and the Common Areas with any revisions or amendments to the ADA in effect after the Commencement Date, provided that the amortized cost of such repairs or replacements (amortized over the useful life thereof using a market cost of funds reasonably determined by Landlord) shall be included as Project Costs payable by Tenant. All other ADA compliance issues which pertain to the Premises, including, without limitation, in connection with Tenant's construction of any alterations or other improvements in the Premises (and any resulting ADA compliance requirements in the Common Areas), the Tenant Improvements and the operation of Tenant's business and employment practices in the Premises, shall be the responsibility of Tenant at its sole cost and expense. Landlord shall, during the initial Lease Term, correct, repair or replace, at Landlord's sole cost and expense and not as a Project Cost, any failure of the structural components of the roof, foundations, footings and load-bearing walls of the Building. The repairs, corrections or replacements required of Landlord or of Tenant under the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4 shall be made promptly following notice of non-compliance from any applicable governmental agency. (b) Landlord warrants to Tenant that the Shell Building Improvements as defined in the Discovery Outline Specifications (as defined in the Work Letter) and the Tenant Improvements to be completed pursuant to the Work Letter shall be free from defects in workmanship or materials for a period of twelve (12) months from the Commencement Date. Landlord shall promptly rectify any non-compliance at its sole cost and expense after receipt of written notice from Tenant within such time setting forth the nature and extent of any such non-compliance. Landlord shall obtain customary warranties and guaranties from the contractor(s) performing the Tenant Improvement work and/or the manufacturers of equipment installed but shall be under no obligation to incur additional expense in order to obtain or extend such warranties. If after expiration of the initial twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, Tenant is required to make repairs to any component of the Premises or any of its systems for which Landlord may have obtained a warranty, Landlord shall, upon request by Tenant, use its good faith efforts to pursue its rights under any such warranties for the benefit of Tenant. Landlord shall be under no obligation to incur any expense in connection with asserting rights under such warranties or guaranties against either the contractor or the manufacturer, but shall use reasonable good faith efforts to enforce such warranties and guaranties for Tenant's benefit. (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.2 of this Lease, Landlord agrees to maintain and repair, at its sole cost and expense and not as an Operating Expense the structural components of the roof and Building, including floor/ceiling slabs, columns, beams, walls and the foundations and footings of the Building during the initial Lease Term. If a non-compliance with the foregoing warranty exists, Landlord shall, promptly after receipt of the written notice from Tenant setting forth the nature and extent of such non-compliance, rectify same at Landlord's sole cost and expense.

• Tenant’s Responsibilities Except as expressly provided in Paragraph 10.1 above, Tenant shall, at its sole cost, maintain the entire Premises and every part thereof, including without limitation, windows, skylights, window frames, plate glass, freight docks, doors and related hardware, interior walls and partitions, and the electrical, plumbing, lighting, heating and air conditioning systems in good order, condition and repair. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, every six (6) months during the Lease Term, a certificate of maintenance or its equivalent, signed by a licensed HVAC repair and maintenance contractor and stating that the heating and air conditioning systems servicing the Premises have been inspected, serviced and are in good order, condition and repair. Tenant's failure to deliver said certificate or its equivalent within thirty (30) days following written notice from Landlord that said certificate is past due shall be a Default by Tenant. If Tenant fails to make repairs or perform maintenance work required of Tenant hereunder within fifteen (15) days after notice from Landlord specifying the need for such repairs or maintenance work, Landlord or Landlord's agents may, in addition to all other rights and remedies available hereunder or by law and without waiving any alternative remedies, enter into the Premises and make such repairs and/or perform such maintenance work. If Landlord makes such repairs and/or performs such maintenance work, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand and as Additional Rent, for the cost of such repairs and/or maintenance work. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any damage, inconvenience or interference with the use of the Premises by Tenant or Tenant's agents as a result of Landlord performing any such repairs or maintenance (unless such damage, inconvenience or interference is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors); provided, however, under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for claims of lost profits, loss of business or lost income. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, on demand and as Additional Rent, for the cost of damage to the Premises and/or Common Area caused by Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees or contractors. Tenant expressly waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter in effect (including without limitation the provisions of subsection 1 of Section 1932, Section 1941 and Section 1942 of the California Civil Code and any similar law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect) which would otherwise afford Tenant the right to make repairs at Landlord's expense (or to deduct the cost of such repairs from Rentals due hereunder) or to terminate this Lease because of Landlord's failure to keep the Premises in good and sanitary order.

• Landlord’s Right to Perform Tenant’s Covenants Tenant covenants and agrees that, if it shall at any time fail to make any payment or perform any other act on its part to be made or performed as in this Lease provided, then Landlord, in its sole discretion may after due notice to, or demand upon, Tenant and subject to the limitations set forth below, make any payment or perform any other act on the part of Tenant to be made and performed as in this Lease provided, in such manner and to such extent as Landlord may reasonably deem desirable, and in exercising any such rights, Landlord may pay necessary and incidental costs and expenses, employ counsel, and incur and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees. The making of any such payment or the performing of any other act by Landlord pursuant to this Article shall not waive, or release Tenant from, any obligations of Tenant in this Lease contained. All sums so paid by Landlord and all reasonably necessary and incidental costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord shall, except as otherwise in this Lease expressly provided, be payable to Landlord on demand, and Tenant covenants to pay any such sum or sums promptly, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the non-payment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of the Base Rent. Whenever practicable, Landlord, before proceeding as provided in this Section 12.4, shall give Tenant notice in writing of the failure of Tenant which Landlord proposes to remedy, and shall allow Tenant such length of time as may be reasonable in the circumstances, consistent with any grace periods contained herein, but not exceeding 30 days from the giving of notice, to remedy the failure itself and, if Tenant shall not remedy the failure in the time so allowed, Landlord shall be deemed to have given “due notice” and may proceed as provided in this Section 12.4; provided that nothing in this Section shall prevent Landlord from acting without notice to Tenant in case of any emergency wherein there is danger to property or person or where there may exist any violation of legal requirements including but not limited to the presence of Hazardous Materials, in which event no notice shall be required.

• LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO PERFORM TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS (a) Without limiting the rights and remedies of Landlord contained in Sections 20.2 and 20.3 above, if Tenant shall be in default in the performance of any of the terms, provisions, covenants or conditions to be performed or complied with by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, then Landlord may at Landlord’s option, without any obligation to do so, and without notice to Tenant perform any such term, provision, covenant, or condition, or make any such payment and Landlord by reason of so doing shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage thereby sustained by Tenant or anyone holding under or through Tenant or any of Tenant’s Agents. (b) Without limiting the rights of Landlord under Sections 20.2 and 20.3 above, Landlord shall have the right at Landlord’s option, without any obligation to do so, to perform any of Tenant’s covenants or obligations under this Lease without notice to Tenant in the case of an emergency, as determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute judgment, or if Landlord determines, in its sole and absolute judgment, that such action is necessary or desirable to avoid imminent harm to the Premises or any persons. (c) If Landlord performs any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder in accordance with this Section 20.4, the full amount of the cost and expense incurred or the payment so made or the amount of the loss so sustained shall immediately be owing by Tenant to Landlord, and Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord upon demand, as Additional Charges, the full amount thereof with interest thereon from the date of payment by Landlord at the lower of (i) ten percent (10%) per annum, or (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law.

• Landlord’s Responsibility During the term of this Lease, Landlord shall maintain in good condition and repair, and replace as necessary, the roof, exterior walls, foundation and structural frame of the Building and the parking and landscaped areas, the costs of which shall be included in Operating Expenses; provided, however, that to the extent any of the foregoing items require repair because of the negligence, misuse, or default of Tenant, its employees, agents, customers or invitees, Landlord shall make such repairs solely at Tenant's expense.

• Tenant’s Agents All subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers retained directly by Tenant shall all be union labor in compliance with the then existing master labor agreements.

• Contractor’s Duties Notwithstanding termination of the contract and subject to any directions from the procurement officer, Contractor shall take timely, reasonable, and necessary action to protect and preserve property in the possession of Contractor in which the State has an interest.

• Tenant’s Responsibility (a) Except to the extent contributed to by a Landlord Party and except for those matters listed in Section 9.5(a) for which the Landlord shall be responsible, the Tenant shall be solely responsible and liable for any work required by any governmental authority having jurisdiction with respect to any Contaminants on, in or under the Premises during the Term of the Lease. Except (i) as caused by or contributed to by a Landlord Party, and (ii) for those matters listed in Section 9.5(a), the Tenant shall indemnify, defend (utilizing counsel satisfactory to the Landlord) and hold harmless the Landlord and the Landlord’s respective officers, directors, beneficiaries, shareholders, partners, agents and employees from all Claims arising out of or in any way connected with any Release of any Contaminants that occurs during the Term of this Lease, at, in, on, from, under, or about the Premises or the Building, or which arises at any time from the Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, or from the Tenant’s failure to provide all information, make all submissions, and take steps required by all authorities under Environmental Law. (b) Upon the occurrence of any material Release of a Contaminant at the Premises and upon the Tenant becoming aware of such Release, the Tenant shall immediately give written notice to the Landlord. In any event, the Tenant shall immediately take all steps required by Environmental Law to remedy or otherwise address the situation giving rise to any Release. (c) If any work is required in accordance with this section 9.2 the Tenant shall prepare all necessary studies, plans and proposals and submit them to the Landlord for approval, which approved shall not be unreasonably withheld, provide all bonds and other security required by any lawful governmental authorities and carry out the work required. In carrying out such work, the Tenant shall keep the Landlord fully informed of the progress of the work. If the Landlord has reasonable grounds for believing that the Tenant will not promptly or properly carry out such work, the Landlord may, in its sole discretion, elect to carry out all such work, or any part of it, and if the Landlord does so, the Tenant shall pay for all costs in connection therewith, within thirty (30) days after the Landlord has incurred the costs and made written demand to the Tenant. (d) The Tenant covenants, acknowledges and agrees that its obligations and liabilities under this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

• Rights, Duties and Responsibilities of Escrow Agent It is understood and agreed that the duties of the Escrow Agent are purely ministerial in nature, and that: 5.1 The Escrow Agent shall notify the Issuer, on a daily basis, of the Escrow Amounts which have been deposited in the Bank Account and of the amounts, constituting the Fund, which have cleared the banking system and have been collected by the Escrow Agent. 5.2 The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for or be required to enforce any of the terms or conditions of any agreement between the Issuer and third parties nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible for the performance by the Issuer of its respective obligations under this Agreement. 5.3 The Escrow Agent shall not be required to accept from the Issuer any Subscription Information pertaining to prospective purchasers unless such Subscription Information is accompanied by checks, cash, or wire transfers meeting the requirements of Section 3.1, nor shall the Escrow Agent be required to keep records of any information with respect to payments deposited except as to the names, addresses and amounts of such payments; however, the Escrow Agent shall notify the Issuer promptly of any discrepancy between the amount set forth in any Subscription Information and the amount delivered to the Escrow Agent therewith. Such amount need not be accepted for deposit in the Escrow Account until such discrepancy has been resolved. 5.4 The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty or responsibility to enforce collection of any check delivered to it hereunder. The Escrow Agent, within a reasonable time, shall return to the Issuer any check received which is dishonored, together with Subscription Information, if any, which accompanied such check. 5.5 The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy, act in reliance upon the contents, and assume the genuineness of any notice, instruction, certificate, signature, instrument or other document which is given to the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement without the necessity of the Escrow Agent verifying the truth or accuracy thereof. The Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to make any inquiry as to the authority, capacity, existence or identity of any person purporting to give any such notice or instructions or to execute any such certificate, instrument or other document. 5.6 If the Escrow Agent is uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions with respect to the Bank Account, the Escrow Amounts or the Fund which, in its sole determination, are in conflict either with other instructions received by it or with any provision of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to hold the Escrow Amounts, the Fund, or a portion thereof, in the Bank Account pending the resolution of such uncertainty to the Escrow Agent’s sole satisfaction, by final judgment of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction or otherwise; or the Escrow Agent, at its sole option, may deposit the Fund (and any other Escrow Amounts that thereafter become part of the Fund) with the Clerk of a court of competent jurisdiction in a proceeding to which all parties in interest are joined. Upon the deposit by the Escrow Agent of the Fund with the Clerk of any such court, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all further obligations and released from all liability hereunder. 5.7 The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted hereunder, or for the misconduct of any employee, agent or attorney appointed by it, except in the case of willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to consult with counsel of its own choosing and shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel. 5.8 The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility at any time to ascertain whether or not any security interest exists in the Escrow Amounts, the Fund or any part thereof or to file any financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Fund or any part thereof.

• Tenant’s Risk Tenant agrees to use and occupy the Premises, and to use such other portions of the Building and the Project as Tenant is given the right to use by this Lease at Tenant’s own risk. The Landlord Parties shall not be liable to the Tenant Parties for any damage, injury, loss, compensation, or claim (including, but not limited to, claims for the interruption of or loss to a Tenant Party’s business) based on, arising out of or resulting from any cause whatsoever, including, but not limited to, repairs to any portion of the Premises or the Building or the Project, any fire, robbery, theft, mysterious disappearance, or any other crime or casualty, the actions of any other tenants of the Building or of any other person or persons, or any leakage in any part or portion of the Premises or the Building or the Project, or from water, rain or snow that may leak into, or flow from any part of the Premises or the Building or the Project, or from drains, pipes or plumbing fixtures in the Building or the Project. Any goods, property or personal effects stored or placed in or about the Premises shall be at the sole risk of the Tenant Party, and neither the Landlord Parties nor their insurers shall in any manner be held responsible therefor. The Landlord Parties shall not be responsible or liable to a Tenant Party, or to those claiming by, through or under a Tenant Party, for any loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of persons occupying adjoining premises or any part of the premises adjacent to or connecting with the Premises or any part of the Building or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Landlord Parties shall not be released from liability for any injury, loss, damages or liability to the extent arising from any gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord Parties on or about the Premises; provided, however, in no event shall the Landlord Parties have any liability to a Tenant Party based on any loss with respect to or interruption in the operation of Tenant’s business. The provisions of this Section shall be applicable until the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, and during such further period as Tenant may use or be in occupancy of any part of the Premises or of the Building.
