The Premises are more particularly described in the Lease. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings defined for such terms in the Lease.
B. Concurrently with this Second Amendment, Tenant is entering into a new lease with an affiliate of Landlord (“Landlord’s Affiliate”) pursuant to which Tenant is leasing space at 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx (“New Lease”).
C. Landlord and Tenant desire, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to provide for the acceleration of the expiration date of the Term of the Lease in connection with the commencement of the New Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, which are incorporated herein by this reference, the mutual promises and conditions contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:
| 1. | Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, the expiration date of the Term of the Lease shall be accelerated to the date that is 30 calendar days after Landlord’s Affiliate Delivers (as defined in the New Lease) the premises subject to the New Lease with Landlord’s Work Substantially Completed (as such terms are defined in the New Lease) (“Termination Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the New Lease terminates prior to the Commencement Date (as defined in the New Lease) such that the Commencement Date (as defined in the New Lease) never occurs, this Second Amendment shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, the expiration date of the Lease shall not be accelerated and the Lease shall continue in full force and effect. |
| 2. | Base Rent and Operating Expenses. Tenant shall continue to pay, through the Termination Date, all amounts due and owing under the Lease including, without limitation, Base Rent and Operating Expenses as provided under the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant does not surrender the Premises on or before the Termination Date, Tenant shall be in holdover under the Lease and the terms of Section 8 of the Lease shall apply. |
| 3. | Termination and Surrender. Tenant shall voluntarily surrender the Premises on or before the Termination Date. Tenant agrees to cooperate reasonably with Landlord in all matters, as applicable, relating to (i) surrendering the Premises in accordance with the surrender requirements and in the condition required pursuant to the Lease, and (ii) all other matters related to restoring the Premises to the condition required under the Lease; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Tenant shall not be required to remove any Tenant Improvements or Alterations existing in the Premises as of the date of this Second Amendment. After the Termination Date, Tenant shall have no further rights of any kind with respect to the Premises. Nothing herein shall excuse Tenant from its obligations under the Lease prior to the Termination Date. |

Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants that it has not dealt with any broker, agent or other person (collectively, “Broker”) in connection with the transaction reflected in this Second Amendment and that no Broker brought about this transaction, other than Xxxxx Lang LaSalle Brokerage, Inc. Landlord and Tenant each hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any claims by any Broker, other than the broker, if any, named in this Second Amendment, claiming a commission or other form of compensation by virtue of having dealt with Tenant or Landlord, as applicable, with regard to this Second Amendment. |
| 5. | Disclosure. For purposes of Section 1938 of the California Civil Code, as of the date of this Second Amendment, Tenant acknowledges having been advised by Landlord that the Project has not been inspected by a certified access specialist. |
