d. Estimate Statement and Payment of Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Expenses. By the first day of April (or as soon as practicable thereafter) of each calendar year during the Term, Landlord shall endeavor to deliver to Tenant a statement (“Estimate Statement”) estimating the Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Expenses for the current calendar year. If at any time during the Term, but not more often than quarterly, Landlord reasonably determines that the estimated amount of Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Expenses payable by Tenant for the current calendar year will be greater or less than the amount set forth in the then current Estimate Statement, Landlord may issue a revised Estimate Statement and Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the revised Estimate Statement, the difference between the amount owed by Tenant under such revised Estimate Statement and the amount owed by Tenant under the original Estimate Statement for the portion of the then current calendar year which has expired. Thereafter Tenant agrees to pay Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Expenses based on such revised Estimate Statement until Tenant receives the next calendar year’s Estimate Statement or a new revised Estimate Statement for the current calendar year. Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Expenses shown on the Estimate Statement (or revised Estimate Statement, as applicable) shall be divided into twelve (12) equal monthly installments, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, concurrently with the regular monthly Rent payment next due following the receipt of the Estimate Statement (or revised Estimate Statement, as applicable), an amount equal to one (1) monthly installment of such Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Expenses multiplied by the number of months from January in the calendar year in which such statement is submitted to the month of such payment, both months inclusive (less any amounts previously paid by Tenant with respect to any previously delivered Estimate Statement or revised Estimate Statement for such calendar year). Subsequent installments shall be paid concurrently with the regular monthly Rent payments for the balance of the calendar year and shall continue until the next calendar year’s Estimate Statement (or current calendar year’s revised Estimate Statement) is received.
e. Actual Statement. By the first day of June (or as soon as practicable thereafter) of each subsequent calendar year during the Term, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement (“Actual Statement”) which states the Tenant’s Percentage of actual Operating Expenses payable by Tenant for the immediately preceding calendar year. If the Actual Statement reveals that the Tenant’s Percentage of actual Operating Expenses was more than the Tenant’s Percentage of estimated Operating Expenses paid by Tenant with respect to the preceding calendar
-4-
year, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the difference in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Actual Statement. Such obligation will be a continuing one which will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If the Actual Statement reveals that the Tenant’s Percentage of actual Operating Expenses was less than the Operating Expenses paid by Tenant with respect to the preceding calendar year, Landlord will credit any overpayment toward the next monthly installment(s) of Rent due from Tenant. Prior to the expiration or sooner termination of the Term and Landlord’s acceptance of Tenant’s surrender of the Premises, Landlord will have the right to reasonably estimate the Tenant’s Percentage of actual Operating Expenses for the then current calendar year and to collect from or reimburse to Tenant prior to Tenant’s surrender of the Premises, any difference of such Tenant’s Percentage of actual Operating Expenses compared to the Tenant’s Percentage of estimated Operating Expenses paid by Tenant in such calendar year.
f. No Release. Any delay or failure by Landlord in delivering any Estimate Statement or Actual Statement pursuant to this Section 1.18 shall not constitute a waiver of its right to receive Tenant’s payment of Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Expenses, nor shall it relieve Tenant of its obligations to pay Operating Expenses pursuant to this Section 1.18, except that Tenant shall not be obligated to make any payments based on such Estimate or Actual Statement until thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement.
g. Tenant’s Audit Rights. Within sixty (60) days after receiving Landlord’s Actual Statement, Tenant may, upon advance written notice to Landlord and during reasonable business hours, cause a review of Landlord’s books and records with respect to the preceding calendar year only to determine the accuracy of Landlord’s Actual Statement. Landlord shall make all pertinent records available for inspection that are reasonably requested by Tenant to conduct its review. If any records are maintained at a location other than the office of the Building, Tenant may either inspect the records at such other location or pay for the reasonable cost of copying and shipping the records. If Tenant retains an agent, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to review Landlord’s records, the agent shall be an independent accountant of national standing which is reasonably acceptable to Landlord, is not compensated on a contingency basis and is also subject to a confidentiality agreement. Within sixty (60) days after the records are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord written notice (an “Objection Notice”) stating in reasonable detail any objection to the Actual Statement of Operating Expenses for that year. If Tenant provides Landlord with a timely Objection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to resolve any issues raised in Tenant’s Objection Notice. If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with a timely Objection Notice, Landlord’s Actual Statement shall be deemed final and binding, and Tenant shall have no further right to review or object to such statement. If Landlord and Tenant determine that Operating Expenses for the calendar year are less than reported, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit against the next installment of Rent in the amount of the overpayment by Tenant. Likewise, if Landlord and Tenant determine that Operating Expenses for the calendar year are greater than reported, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any underpayment within thirty (30) days after such determination. The records obtained by Tenant shall be treated as confidential. In no event shall Tenant be permitted to review Landlord’s records or to dispute any statement of Operating Expenses unless Tenant has paid and continues to pay all Rent when due. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to resolve any discrepancy within thirty (30) days after Landlord receives the Objection Notice, either party may upon written notice to the other within ten (10) days after the expiration of said thirty day period have the matter decided by an inspection by an independent certified public accounting firm reasonably approved by Tenant and Landlord (the “CPA Firm”). If the inspection by the CPA Firm shows that the actual amount of Operating Expenses payable by Tenant is greater than the amount previously paid by Tenant for such accounting period, Tenant shall pay Landlord the difference within thirty (30) days. If the inspection by the CPA Firm shows that the actual amount is less than the amount paid by Tenant, then the difference shall be applied in payment of the next estimated monthly installments of Additional Rent by Tenant, or funded to Tenant. Tenant shall pay for the cost of the inspection by the CPA Firm, unless such inspection shows that Landlord overstated Operating Expenses by more than five percent (5%), in which case Landlord shall pay for the cost of the inspection by the CPA Firm.

In no event shall any Rent owed Landlord under this Lease be abated by reason of the failure to furnish, delay in furnishing, unavailability or diminution in quality or quantity of any such utility or other services or interference with Tenant’s business operations as a result of any such occurrence; nor shall any such occurrence constitute an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant or a breach of an implied warranty by Landlord

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any material portion thereof, for five (5) consecutive business days (the “Eligibility Period”) as a result of any repair, maintenance or alteration performed by Landlord to the Premises after the Commencement Date and required by the Lease and not required to be done due to the negligence, act or omission of Tenant or any of Tenant Parties, which substantially interferes with Tenant’s use of the Premises, then Tenant’s Rent shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, after expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or a material portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable area of the Premises. The provisions of this paragraph regarding the abatement of Rent shall not be applicable for any work being performed by Landlord in connection with a casualty or condemnation for which the provisions of Articles 17 and 18 shall apply.
1.19 Additional Hazardous Materials Requirements. In addition to Tenant’s obligations under Article 10 of the Standard Provisions, Tenant shall comply with the following provisions with respect to Hazardous Materials (as that term is defined in Article 10):
a. Environmental Questionnaire; Disclosure. Prior to the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall complete, execute and deliver to Landlord an Environmental Questionnaire and Disclosure Statement (the “Environmental Questionnaire”) in the form of Exhibit G, and Tenant shall certify to Landlord all information contained in the Environmental Questionnaire as true and correct to the best of Tenant’s knowledge and belief. The completed Environmental Questionnaire shall be deemed incorporated into this Lease for all purposes, and Landlord shall be entitled to rely fully on the information contained therein. On each anniversary of the Commencement Date (each such date is hereinafter referred to as a “Disclosure Date”), until and including the first Disclosure Date occurring after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall disclose to Landlord in writing the names and amounts of all Hazardous Materials, or any combination thereof, that were stored, generated, used or disposed of on, under or about the Premises for the twelve (12) month period prior to each Disclosure Date, and that Tenant intends to store, generate, use or dispose of on, under or about the Premises through the next Disclosure Date. At Landlord’s request, Tenant’s disclosure obligations under this Section 1.20 shall include a requirement that Tenant update, execute and deliver to Landlord the Environmental Questionnaire, as the same may be reasonably modified by Landlord from time to time; provided, however, Tenant shall not be required to update the Environmental Questionnaire more than once per year unless an environmental event of default has occurred or Tenant has materially changed its business. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of, and shall promptly provide Landlord with true, correct, complete and legible copies of, all of the following environmental items relating to the Premises: reports filed pursuant to any self reporting requirements; reports filed pursuant to any Environmental Laws or this Lease; all permit applications, permits, monitoring reports, workplace exposure and community exposure warnings or notices, and all other reports, disclosures, plans or documents (even those that may be characterized as confidential) relating to water discharges, air pollution, waste generation or disposal, underground storage tanks or Hazardous Materials; all orders, reports, notices, listings and correspondence (even those that may be considered confidential) of or concerning the release, investigation, compliance, clean up, remedial and corrective actions, and abatement of Hazardous Materials whether or not required by Environmental Laws; and all complaints, pleadings and other legal documents filed against Tenant related to Tenant’s use, handling, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials.
b. Inspection; Compliance. Landlord and Landlord Parties (as that term is defined in Article 10) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to inspect, investigate, sample and/or monitor the Premises, including any air, soil, water, groundwater or other sampling, and any other testing, digging, drilling or analyses, at any time to determine whether Tenant is complying with the terms of this Section 1.20 and Article 10, and in connection therewith, Tenant shall provide Landlord with access to all relevant facilities, records and personnel. Landlord or Landlord Parties shall provide Tenant at least five (5) days prior written notice before performing such testing, except in an emergency. If Tenant is not in compliance with any of the provisions of this Section 1.20 and Article 10, or in the event of a release of any Hazardous Materials on, under, from or about the Premises, Landlord and Landlord Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, without limitation on any of Landlord’s other rights and remedies under this Lease, to immediately enter upon the Premises and to discharge Tenant’s obligations under this Section 1.20 and Article 10 at Tenant’s expense, including without limitation the taking of emergency or long term remedial action. Landlord and Landlord Parties shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with
-6-
Tenant’s business but shall not be liable for any such interference. In addition, Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to join and participate in any legal proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any claims or causes of action arising out of the storage, generation, use or disposal by Tenant or Tenant’s Parties of Hazardous Materials on, under, from or about the Premises. All sums reasonably disbursed, deposited or incurred by Landlord in connection herewith, including, but not limited to, all costs, expenses and actual attorneys’ fees, shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord, as an item of Additional Rent, on demand by Landlord, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date of such demand until paid by Tenant. Landlord agrees that if any testing proves that the Tenant or Tenant’s Parties have no responsibility for the presence of said Hazardous Materials, Tenant shall not be liable for any costs or expenses in connection with such inspection, testing and monitoring.
c. Tenant Obligations. If the presence of any Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Premises caused or permitted by Tenant or Tenant’s Parties results in (i) injury to any person, (ii) injury to or contamination of the Premises, or (iii) injury to or contamination of any real or personal property wherever situated, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly take all actions necessary to return the Premises to the condition existing prior to the introduction of such Hazardous Materials to the Premises and to remedy or repair any such injury or contamination. Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Landlord under this Lease, Tenant shall pay the cost of any cleanup work performed on, under or about the Premises as required by this Lease or any Environmental Laws in connection with the removal, disposal, neutralization or other treatment of such Hazardous Materials caused or permitted by Tenant or Tenant’s Parties. If Landlord has reason to believe that Tenant or Tenant’s Parties may have caused or permitted the release of any Hazardous Materials on, under, from or about the Premises, then Landlord may require Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to conduct monitoring activities on or about the Premises satisfactory to Landlord, in its good faith judgment, concerning such release of Hazardous Materials on, under, from or about the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, take any remedial action in response to the presence of any Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Premises, or enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree or other compromise with any governmental agency with respect to any Hazardous Materials claims; provided, however, Landlord’s prior written consent shall not be necessary in the event that the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Premises (i) poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any individual, or (ii) is of such a nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary and it is not possible to obtain Landlord’s consent before taking such action. Tenant’s failure to timely comply with this Section 1.20 shall constitute an event of default under this Lease.
d. Tenant’s Responsibility at Conclusion of Lease. Promptly upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall represent to Landlord in writing that (i) Tenant has made a diligent effort to determine whether any Hazardous Materials are on, under or about the Premises, as a result of any acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenant’s Parties and (ii) no such Hazardous Materials exist on, under or about the Premises, other than as specifically identified to Landlord by Tenant in writing. If Tenant discloses the existence of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Premises or if Landlord at any time discovers that Tenant or Tenant’s Parties caused or permitted the release of any Hazardous Materials on, under, from or about the Premises, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, immediately prepare and submit to Landlord within thirty (30) days after such request a comprehensive plan, subject to Landlord’s approval, specifying the actions to be taken by Tenant to return the Premises to the condition existing prior to the introduction of such Hazardous Materials. Upon Landlord’s approval of such cleanup plan, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, without limitation on any rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease or at law or in equity, immediately implement such plan and proceed to clean up such Hazardous Materials in accordance with all Environmental Laws and as required by such plan and this Lease.
e. Landlord’s Representation. As of the date hereof, Landlord has not received written notice from any governmental agencies that the Building is in violation of any applicable Environmental Laws. Further, to Landlord’s actual knowledge, there are no Hazardous Materials in violation of any applicable Environmental Laws at the Building other than small quantities of Hazardous Materials (such as aerosol cans containing insecticides, toner for copiers, paints, paint remover and the like) to the extent customary and necessary for the use of the Premises. For purposes of this Section, “Landlord’s actual knowledge” shall be deemed to mean and limited to the current actual knowledge of Xxxx Xxxxxxx-Xxxx, Regional Director of Operations, at the time of execution of this Lease, and not any implied, imputed or constructive knowledge of said individual or of Landlord or any parties related to or comprising Landlord and without any independent investigation or inquiry having been made or any implied duty to investigate or make any inquires. It is understood and agreed that such individual shall have no personal liability in any manner whatsoever hereunder or otherwise related to the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, neither Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties (as defined in Article 10 of the Lease) shall be liable or responsible for any pre-existing Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Premises, the Building, the Property or any adjacent property, prior to the Commencement Date, or any migration of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Premises, the Building, the Project or any adjacent property, at any time, unless caused or exacerbated by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties.

Any change to the Antennae or location of the Antenna during the Lease Term shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord. The license granted herein is personal to Tenant, and may not be transferred to any party, except to a Permitted Transferee (hereinafter defined) under the Lease
a. This license shall be coterminous with the Term of this Lease of the Premises. If this Lease is terminated for any reason, this license shall automatically terminate as of the effective date of the termination of this Lease. If Tenant defaults with respect to any term or condition set forth in Section 3.3 or any subsection thereof after notice thereof and the expiration of any applicable cure period provided in Section 22.1 of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to exercise any right or remedy available at law, in equity or under the Lease, including, without limitation, the right and remedy to elect to terminate this license.
b. Tenant hereby assumes any and all costs, expenses, liabilities and risks associated with the installation, use, maintenance, repair and removal of the Antennae, and the restoration of the Building upon removal of the Antennae therefrom, and any other costs and expenses related thereto. Tenant agrees: (a) to use the roofing contractor specified by Landlord for installation of the Antennae unless an alternative contractor is approved by Landlord in its reasonable discretion so as to not impair or jeopardize any roof warranty, and (b) to obtain approval of Tenant’s installation plans from Landlord prior to installation. Tenant acknowledges that: (i) Landlord retains the right to use the roof of the Building for any purpose whatsoever (except that Landlord will not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Antennae), including but not limited to the right to use the roof of the Building for the installation and maintenance of other communication facilities, and (ii) the signal which is to be received and/or sent by the Antennae may be lost or impaired as a result of on-going or future construction of nearby projects, buildings, parking facilities or related structures within or about the Property or the commercial development of which the Property is a part. Tenant hereby assumes any and all risks associated with any loss or impairment of the signal, or any other related cost or inconvenience resulting therefrom. Tenant agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord free and harmless from and against any and all claim made by or obligation owed to any party that may claim any right or recovery as to the maintenance or use of the Antennae or the receipt or delivery of any signal therefrom. The indemnity obligations under this Section will survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

c. Maintenance and Repair. At its expense, Tenant agrees to maintain the Antennae in a clean, neat and sightly condition. Additionally, Tenant agrees, upon removal of the Antennae, to repair and restore the roof and any other affected portions of the Building to their original condition as existed prior to the installation of the Antennae, including, but not limited to, the removal of any and all cables, wiring, hardware and equipment and the repair and restoration of any damage caused thereby. Landlord, in its sole discretion, will have the right, upon the termination of this license or Lease to require that all cables and wiring installed by Tenant in and through the Building in connection with the installation and use of the Antennae (which cables and wiring shall be shielded to prevent interference with other tenants’ cables) be left in place and abandoned to the benefit of Landlord and at no cost to Landlord.
d. Tenant’s insurance to be maintained pursuant to this Lease shall include coverage for Tenant’s property rights and potential liabilities arising out of this license.
e. Tenant shall be responsible to pay directly to any utility company or service provided for all utility hook-up charges necessary for the installation of the Antennae, if any, and shall pay for the maintenance and service of said utilities.
f. Governmental Approvals. Tenant: (a) acknowledges that its right to install, operate, maintain and repair the Antennae shall be subject to its receipt and obtaining of all necessary, appropriate and applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations (collectively, the “Governmental Approvals”), (b) agrees to obtain, at its own costs and expense, all Governmental Approvals and permits required for the installation and operation of the Antennae, (c) agrees to submit evidence of the receipt of all such necessary Governmental Approvals and permits to Landlord prior to the installation of the Antennae (including, without limitation, evidence that the Antennae and the location thereof on the Building and all appurtenances thereto comply with all local zoning and building codes), and (d) agrees to maintain all Governmental Approvals and permits in effect throughout the term of this License.
g. Upon the earlier termination of this license or this Lease for any reason whatsoever including, but not limited to, the imposition of any governmental law or regulation which may require removal, Tenant agrees to immediately remove the Antennae, cables, wiring (unless Landlord elects otherwise, as provided herein), equipment and hardware and all other improvements associated therewith at Tenant’s own cost and expense, and Tenant agrees to repair any damage to the Building or the Property occasioned by the installation or removal thereof.

h. Tenant agrees that if Landlord makes or plans on making any repairs or maintenance to the Building, or any alterations, modifications, additions or improvements to the Building, including any such work to the electrical, mechanical or other operating systems within the Building, that will require an adjustment or modification to the Antennae in order to perform such work, Tenant at its sole cost shall make any concomitant adjustments or modifications to the Antennae and its related facilities, as such adjustments and modifications are determined to be necessary by any architect, engineer or other contractor engaged by Landlord in connection therewith, or, at Tenant’s option, the Antennae may be removed by Tenant.
i. Tenant agrees and understands that the review of all plans by Landlord is solely to protect the interests of Landlord in the Building, and Landlord shall not be the guarantor of, nor responsible for, the correctness, completeness or accuracy of any such plans or compliance of such plans with applicable laws. Landlord’s approval of any plans, work or any matter under this section shall not: (i) constitute an opinion or agreement by Landlord that such plans are in compliance with all applicable laws, (ii) impose any present or future liability on Landlord; (iii) constitute a waiver of Landlord’s rights hereunder; (iv) impose on Landlord any responsibility for a design and/or construction defect or fault in the connection, use or operation of the Equipment or other facilities, (v) constitute a representation or warranty regarding the accuracy, completeness or correctness thereof of any plans, or that such plans or any work are in accordance with industry standards or will allow the use of the Antennae to be operational or functional upon completion. Landlord shall have no responsibility for any deficiencies in the drawings or any failure thereof to reflect actual conditions (concealed or apparent) at the Building, including without limitation any failure of the drawings to reflect existing equipment, walls, or other facilities; in such case, Landlord may stop the installation work and require that Tenant revise the drawings.
ARTICLE 4 - TERM AND POSSESSION
4.1 Term; Notice of Lease Dates. The Term shall be for the period designated in the Summary commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the Expiration Date, unless the Term is sooner terminated or extended as provided in this Lease. If the Commencement Date falls on any day other than the first day of a calendar month then the Term will be measured from the first day of the month following the month in which the Commencement Date occurs. Within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall execute a written confirmation of the Commencement Date and Expiration Date of the Term in the form of the Notice of Lease Term Dates attached hereto as Exhibit D. The Notice of Lease Term Dates shall be binding upon Tenant unless Tenant reasonably objects thereto in writing within such ten (10) business day period.
4.2 Possession. Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant by the Commencement Date, and subject to the provisions of this Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 below. Tenant agrees that if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on or prior to the Estimated Commencement Date, the Lease will not be void or voidable, nor will Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, except Tenant shall not be liable for Rent until such time as Landlord delivers possession of the Premises and except for Tenant’s right to terminate if Landlord fails to deliver possession by July 31, 2010 as hereinafter provided. If Landlord does not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant by July 31, 2010, other than due to the failure of
-9-
Tenant to pay the Security Deposit, the first installment of rent or failure to provide Landlord with Tenant’s insurance certificates as required under this Lease, then Tenant as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord prior to the date Landlord offers to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant. In such event, Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant all prepaid rent and the Security Deposit previously delivered by Tenant to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will not be obligated to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant until Landlord has received from Tenant all of the following: (i) a copy of this Lease fully executed by Tenant; (ii) any Security Deposit, if required hereunder and the first installment of Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent, if any, due under this Lease; and (iii) copies of Tenant’s insurance certificates as required hereunder.
4.3 Condition of Premises. Landlord represents and warrants that it shall deliver the Premises to Tenant in broom-clean condition and free of debris, with all existing Building fire and life safety, plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems (collectively, “Operating Systems”) in good operating condition and repair, and free of latent and structural defects and with the roof and windows free from leaks. If any of such Operating Systems fail during the applicable warranty period specified below or if the roof leaks during the applicable warranty period specified below, as Tenant’s sole remedy for Landlord’s breach of this warranty, Landlord shall, as Landlord’s sole obligation, promptly after receipt of written notice from Tenant setting forth with specificity the nature and extent of such failure, repair same at Landlord’s expense (and without inclusion as a Operating Expense); provided, however, Landlord shall have no liability hereunder for repairs or replacements necessitated by the negligent acts or omissions of Tenant and/or any of Tenant’s Parties, or otherwise caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties, or any misuse of any Operating System or alteration performed by Tenant or any Tenant Party. The warranty period for the Operating Systems shall be thirty (30) days after delivery of the Premises to Tenant, and the warranty period for the roof shall expire as of December 31, 2010. If Tenant does not give Landlord the required notice within said warranty period, correction of any such failure shall be the responsibility of Tenant as required in this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease and the Work Letter neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the Premises, the Building or the Property or their condition, or with respect to the suitability thereof for the conduct of Tenant’s business, and Tenant shall accept the Premises in its then as-is condition on delivery by Landlord. Landlord shall not be responsible for construction of any of Tenant’s Initial Alterations, which shall be constructed by Tenant in accordance with Exhibit H attached hereto.
4.4 Early Access. So long as Landlord has received from Tenant the first month’s Monthly Base Rent due pursuant to Section 5.1 of this Lease, certificates satisfactory to Landlord evidencing the insurance required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease, and, as applicable, the Security Deposit, and so long as the Tenant and its contractors and employees do not interfere with the completion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to give Tenant’s designated contractors access to the Premises prior to the estimated Commencement Date (the “Early Access Period”) for purposes of constructing Tenant’s Initial Alterations in accordance with Exhibit H and for installing Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, and equipment (collectively, “Tenant’s Work”). Tenant’s Work shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant’s access to the Premises during the Early Access Period shall be subject to all terms and conditions of this Lease, except that Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Rent during the Early Access Period until the Commencement Date. Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with prior notice of any request for such early access and any grant of early access shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord during the period of any such early access so as not to interfere with Landlord in the completion of any Landlord’s work in the Premises pursuant to the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Landlord’s Work”). Should Landlord determine such early access interferes with Landlord’s Work, Landlord may deny Tenant access to the Premises until Landlord’s Work is substantially completed. Tenant shall promptly surrender any keys of other means of access to the Premises and otherwise comply with such denial.
ARTICLE 5 - RENT
5.1 Monthly Base Rent. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, the Monthly Base Rent as designated in the Summary. Monthly Base Rent and recurring monthly charges of Additional Rent (defined below) shall be paid by Tenant in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month (“Due Date”) during the Term, except that the first full month’s Monthly Base Rent for the first month following the Rent Abatement Period and Additional Rent shall be paid upon Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease to Landlord. Monthly Base Rent for any partial month shall be prorated in the proportion that the number of days this Lease is in effect during such month bears to the actual number of days in such month.
5.2 Additional Rent. All amounts and charges payable by Tenant under this Lease in addition to Monthly Base Rent, if any, including, without limitation, payments for Operating Expenses, Taxes, Insurance Costs and Premises Utilities Costs to the extent payable by Tenant under this Lease shall be considered “Additional Rent”, and the word “Rent” in this Lease shall include Monthly Base Rent and all such Additional Rent unless the context specifically states or clearly implies that only Monthly Base Rent is referenced. Rent shall be paid to Landlord, without any prior notice or demand therefor and without any notice, deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America.
5.3 Late Charges & Interest Rate. If Landlord does not receive Rent or any other payment due from Tenant on the Due Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such past due Rent or other payment. Tenant agrees that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost Landlord will incur by reason of Tenant’s late payment. Accepting any late charge shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of Tenant’s default with respect to any overdue amount nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies available to Landlord. If any installment of Monthly Base Rent or Additional Rent, or any other amount payable by Tenant hereunder is not received by Landlord by the Due Date, it shall bear interest at the Interest Rate set forth in the Summary from the Due Date until paid. All interest, and any late charges imposed pursuant to this
-10-
Section 5.3, shall be considered Additional Rent due from Tenant to Landlord under the terms of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will not assess a late charge until Landlord has given written notice of such late payment for the first two late payments in any twelve (12) month period and after Tenant has not cured such late payment within three (3) days from receipt of such notice. No other notices will be required during the following twelve (12) months for a late charge to be incurred. For the avoidance of doubt, as an example, if the twelve (12) month period commences on July 1, 2010, the following twelve (12) month period will be from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012.
ARTICLE 6 - SECURITY DEPOSIT
Concurrently with Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease to Landlord, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit, if any, designated in the Summary. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant during the Term. If Tenant defaults with respect to any of its obligations under this Lease, following the applicable notice and cure period Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Monthly Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum in default, or for the payment of any other amount, loss or damage which Landlord may spend, incur or suffer by reason of Tenant’s default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Term, provided that Landlord may retain the Security Deposit until such time as any amount due from Tenant in accordance with this Lease has been determined and paid in full (excluding any reconciliation of an Actual Statement for the last year of the Term). If Landlord sells its interest in the Building during the Term and if Landlord deposits with or credits to the purchaser the Security Deposit (or balance thereof), then, upon such sale, Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to the Security Deposit. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code (excluding subsection (b)) and agrees that the provisions of this Article 6 shall govern the treatment of Tenant’s Security Deposit in all respects for this Lease.
ARTICLE 7 - OPERATING EXPENSES/UTILITIES/SERVICES
7.1 Operating Expenses. Tenant shall pay for the costs of operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the Premises, Building and Property as provided in the definition of Operating Expenses set forth in the Summary.
7.2 Utilities and Services. Utilities and services to the Premises and the Property are described in the Summary.
7.3 Taxes. As used in this Lease, the term “Taxes” means: All real property taxes and assessments, possessory interest taxes, sales taxes, personal property taxes, business or license taxes or fees, gross receipts taxes, license or use fees, excises, transit charges, and other impositions of any kind (including fees “in-lieu” or in substitution of any such tax or assessment) which are now or hereafter assessed, levied, charged or imposed by any public authority upon the Building, Site, Property and/or Premises or any portion thereof, its operations or the Rent derived therefrom (or any portion or component thereof, or the ownership, operation, or transfer thereof), and any and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in attempting to protest, reduce or minimize the same. Taxes shall not include inheritance or estate taxes imposed upon or assessed against the interest of Landlord, gift taxes, transfer taxes for recording a deed, excess profit taxes, franchise taxes, or similar taxes on Landlord’s business or any other taxes computed upon the basis of the net income of Landlord. If it shall not be lawful for Tenant to reimburse Landlord for any such Taxes, the Monthly Base Rent payable to Landlord under this Lease shall be revised to net Landlord the same net rent after imposition of any such Taxes by Landlord as would have been payable to Landlord prior to the payment of any such Taxes. Tenant shall pay for or contribute to Taxes as provided in the Summary. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against personal property, furniture, fixtures, above-standard Tenant Improvements and alterations, additions or improvements placed by or for Tenant in the Premises. Furthermore, Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency any (i) rent tax or sales tax, service tax, transfer tax or value added tax, or any other applicable tax on the rent or services provided herein or otherwise respecting this Lease, (ii) taxes assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Property; or (iii) taxes assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.
7.4 Insurance Costs. As used in this Lease, “Insurance Costs” means the cost of insurance obtained by Landlord pursuant to Article 15 (including deductibles and hereinafter provided). Insurance Costs shall include the applicable insurance deductibles that are commercially reasonable amounts and which are maintained by other institutional owners of comparable property in the vicinity of the Property, provided, however, that for purposes hereof, Tenant’s responsibility for insurance deductibles shall not exceed the following amounts: (i) earthquake insurance deductibles up to five percent (5%) of the total insurable value of the Property per occurrence, which shall be amortized by Landlord on a straight line basis over the useful life of the improvement replaced with interest at the Interest Rate, and (ii) any other insurance deductibles up to $50,000.00 per occurrence.
7.5 Interruption of Utilities.

If the Premises or the Building is damaged by fire or other casualty not caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant (“Casualty”) to an extent not exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the full replacement cost thereof, and Landlord’s contractor estimates in writing delivered to the parties that the damage thereto is such that the Building and/or Premises may be repaired, reconstructed or restored to substantially its condition immediately prior to such damage within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such Casualty, and Landlord will receive insurance proceeds plus any deductible or self insurance sufficient to cover the costs of such repairs, reconstruction and restoration (including proceeds from Tenant and/or Tenant’s insurance which Tenant is required to deliver to Landlord pursuant to this Lease), then Landlord shall commence and proceed diligently with the work of repair, reconstruction and restoration and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If, however, the Premises or the Building is damaged to an extent exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the full replacement cost thereof, or Landlord’s contractor estimates that such work of repair, reconstruction and restoration will require longer than one hundred eighty (180) days to complete from the date of Casualty, or Landlord will not receive insurance proceeds (and/or proceeds from Tenant, as applicable) sufficient to cover the costs of such repairs, reconstruction and restoration, then Landlord may elect to either: (a) repair, reconstruct and restore the portion of the Premises or Building damaged by such Casualty (including the Tenant Improvements, the Alterations that Landlord elects to insure pursuant to Section 13.1 and, to the extent of insurance proceeds received from Tenant, the Alterations that Tenant is required to insure pursuant to Section 13.1), in which case this Lease shall continue in full force and effect; or (b) terminate this Lease effective as of the date which is thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s election to so terminate. Under any of the conditions of this Section 17.1, Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant of its intention to repair or terminate within the later of sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Casualty, or fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of the estimate from Landlord’s contractor or, as applicable, thirty (30) days after Landlord receives approval from Landlord’s Mortgagee to rebuild.
17.2 Tenant’s Costs and Insurance Proceeds. In the event of any damage or destruction of all or any part of the Premises, Tenant shall immediately: (a) notify Landlord thereof; and (b) deliver to Landlord all insurance proceeds received by Tenant with respect to the Tenant Improvements and Alterations (to the extent such items are not covered by Landlord’s casualty insurance obtained by Landlord pursuant to this Lease) and with respect to Alterations in the Premises that Tenant is required to insure pursuant to Section 13.1, excluding proceeds for Tenant’s furniture and other personal property, whether or not this Lease is terminated as permitted in Section 17.1, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all rights to receive such insurance proceeds. If, for any reason (including Tenant’s failure to obtain insurance for the full replacement cost of any Alterations which Tenant is required to insure pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof), Tenant fails to receive insurance proceeds covering the full replacement cost of such Alterations which are damaged, Tenant shall be deemed to have self-insured the replacement cost of such Alterations, and upon any damage or destruction thereto, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord the full replacement cost of such items, less any insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord from Landlord’s or Tenant’s insurance with respect to such items.
-17-
17.3 Abatement of Rent. If as a result of any such damage, repair, reconstruction and/or restoration of the Premises or the Building, Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, then Rent shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, during the period that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using and does not use the Premises or portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable square feet of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if the damage is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties, there shall be no abatement of Rent beyond the proceeds that Landlord receives from the rental loss insurance maintained by Landlord. Except for abatement of Rent as provided hereinabove, Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages for loss of, or interference with, Tenant’s business or use or access of all or any part of the Premises resulting from any such damage, repair, reconstruction or restoration.
17.4 Inability to Complete. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 17, if Landlord is obligated or elects to repair, reconstruct and/or restore the damaged portion of the Building or Premises pursuant to Section 17.1 above, but is delayed from completing such repair, reconstruction and/or restoration beyond the date which is six (6) months after the date estimated by Landlord’s contractor for completion thereof pursuant to Section 17.1 then either party may elect to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice; however, (i) Landlord may only terminate if such delay is by reason of any causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (including, without limitation, delays due to Force Majeure, and delays caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties), and (ii) Tenant shall not be able to terminate if the casualty was caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties, or the delay is due to any delays caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties.).
17.5 Damage to the Property. If there is a total destruction of the improvements on the Property or partial destruction of such improvements, the cost of restoration of which would exceed one-third (1/3) of the then replacement value of all improvements on the Property, by any cause whatsoever, whether or not insured against and whether or not the Premises are partially or totally destroyed, Landlord may within a period of sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such destruction, notify Tenant in writing that it elects not to so reconstruct or restore such improvements, in which event this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such destruction.
17.6 Damage Near End of Term. In addition to its termination rights in Sections 17.1, 17.4 and 17.5 above, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease if any damage to the Building or Premises occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term and Landlord’s contractor estimates in writing delivered to the parties that the repair, reconstruction or restoration of such damage cannot be completed within the earlier of (a) the scheduled expiration date of the Term, or (b) sixty (60) days after the date of such Casualty.
17.7 Tenant’s Termination Right. In the event of any damage or destruction which affects Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises which is not caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties, Landlord’s contractor estimates that Tenant’s possession and use of the Premises cannot be restored by Landlord within one hundred eighty (180) days from such damage or destruction (or if such damage or destruction occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, then sixty (60) days) each of Landlord and Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to the other given within thirty (30) days after receipt of the contractor’s estimate (which shall be provided to Tenant immediately following Landlord’s receipt).
17.8 Waiver of Termination Right. This Lease sets forth the terms and conditions upon which this Lease may terminate in the event of any damage or destruction. Accordingly, except as expressly provided herein, Tenant hereby waives any and all provisions of applicable Law that provide alternative rights for the parties in the event of damage or destruction (including, without limitation[ to the extent the Premises are located in California, the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1932, Subsection 2, and Section 1933, Subsection 4 and any successor statute or laws of a similar nature).
ARTICLE 18 - CONDEMNATION
18.1 Substantial or Partial Taking. Subject to the provisions of Section 18.3 below, either party may terminate this Lease if any material part of the Premises is taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use under law, by eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking”). Landlord shall also have the right to terminate this Lease if there is a Taking of any portion of the Building or the Property which would have a material adverse effect on Landlord’s ability to profitably operate the remainder of the Building and/or the Property. The terminating party shall provide written notice of termination to the other party within thirty (30) days after it first receives notice of the Taking. The termination shall be effective as of the effective date of any order granting possession to, or vesting legal title in, the condemning authority. If this Lease is not terminated, Base Rent and all other elements of this Lease which are dependent upon the area of the Premises, the Building or the Property shall be appropriately adjusted to account for any reduction in the square footage of the Premises, Building or Property, as applicable. All compensation awarded for a Taking shall be the property of Landlord. The right to receive compensation or proceeds are expressly waived by Tenant, however, Tenant may file a separate claim for Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, equipment and other personal property, loss of goodwill and Tenant’s reasonable relocation expenses, provided the filing of the claim does not diminish the amount of Landlord’s award.
18.2 Condemnation Award. Subject to the provisions of Section 18.3 below, in connection with any Taking of the Premises or the Building, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award which may be made or given in such taking or condemnation, without deduction or apportionment for any estate or interest of Tenant, it being expressly understood and agreed by Tenant that no portion of any such award shall be allowed or paid to Tenant for any so-called bonus or excess value of this Lease, and such bonus or excess value shall be the sole property of Landlord. Tenant shall not assert any claim against Landlord or the taking authority for any compensation because of such taking (including any claim for bonus or excess value of this Lease); provided, however, if any portion of the Premises is taken, Tenant shall be granted the right to recover from the condemning
-18-
authority (but not from Landlord) any compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant for the taking of Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, equipment and other personal property within the Premises, for Tenant’s relocation expenses, and for any loss of goodwill or other damage to Tenant’s business by reason of such taking.
18.3 Temporary Taking. In the event of a Taking of the Premises or any part thereof for temporary use, (a) this Lease shall be and remain unaffected thereby and Rent shall not xxxxx, and (b) Tenant shall be entitled to receive for itself such portion or portions of any award made for such use with respect to the period of the taking which is within the Term, provided that if such taking shall remain in force at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall perform its obligations with respect to surrender of the Premises and shall pay to Landlord the portion of any award which is attributable to any period of time beyond the Term expiration date. For purpose of this Section 18.3, a temporary taking shall be defined as a taking for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days or less.
18.4 Waiver. Tenant hereby waives any rights it may have pursuant to any applicable Laws (including, without limitation, to the extent the Premises are located in California, any rights Tenant might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure) and agrees that the provisions hereof shall govern the parties’ rights in the event of any Taking.
ARTICLE 19 - WAIVER OF CLAIMS; WAIVER OF SUBROGATION
19.1 Tenant Waiver. Tenant hereby waives its rights against Landlord for any claims of damages or losses, including any deductibles and self-insured amounts, which are caused by or result from (a) any occurrence insured under any property insurance policy carried by Tenant, or (b) any occurrence which would have been covered under any property insurance required to be obtained and maintained by Tenant under this Lease had such insurance been obtained and maintained as required. The foregoing waiver shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, any other waivers or releases contained in this Lease.
19.2 Waiver of Insurers. Tenant and Landlord shall each cause their property damage (first party) insurance policy to provide that the insurer waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against the other party, in connection with any claims, losses and damages covered by such policy. If such waivers of subrogation are contained in their respective property damage insurance policies, Landlord and Tenant waive any right that either may have against the other on account of any loss or damage to their respective property to the extent that the loss or damage is insured under their respective insurance policies. If either party fails to maintain insurance for an insurable loss, such loss shall be deemed to be self-insured with a deemed full waiver of subrogation as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence
ARTICLE 20 - ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
20.1 Restriction on Transfer. Except with respect to a Permitted Transfer pursuant to Section 20.6 below, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord will not unreasonably withhold, assign this Lease or any interest herein or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises by any party other than Tenant (any such assignment, encumbrance, sublease, license or the like being sometimes referred to as a “Transfer”). In no event may Tenant encumber or hypothecate this Lease or the Premises. This prohibition against Transfers shall be construed to include a prohibition against any assignment or subletting by operation of law. Any Transfer without Landlord’s consent (except for a Permitted Transfer pursuant to Section 20.6 below) shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease, and in addition to all of Landlord’s other remedies at law, in equity or under this Lease, such Transfer shall be voidable at Landlord’s election. For purposes of this Article 20, other than with respect to a Permitted Transfer under Section 20.6 and transfers of stock of Tenant if Tenant is a publicly-held corporation and such stock is transferred publicly over a recognized security exchange or over-the-counter market, if Tenant is a corporation, partnership or other entity, any transfer, assignment, encumbrance or hypothecation of fifty-one percent (51%) or more (individually or in the aggregate) of any stock or other ownership interest in such entity, and/or any transfer, assignment, hypothecation or encumbrance of any controlling ownership or voting interest in such entity, shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease and shall be subject to all of the restrictions and provisions contained in this Article 20.
20.2 Landlord’s Options. If Tenant desires to effect a Transfer, then at least twenty (20) days prior to the date when Tenant desires the Transfer to be effective (the “Transfer Date”), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written notice (“Transfer Notice”) setting forth the terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer and the identity of the proposed assignee, sublessee or other transferee (sometimes referred to hereinafter as a “Transferee”). Tenant shall also deliver to Landlord with the Transfer Notice, a current financial statement and such evidence of financial responsibility and standing as Landlord may reasonably require of the Transferee which have been certified or audited by a reputable independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and such other information concerning the business background and financial condition of the proposed Transferee as Landlord may reasonably request. Except with respect to a Permitted Transfer, within fifteen (15) business days after Landlord’s receipt of any Transfer Notice, and any additional information requested by Landlord pursuant to this Section 20.2, Landlord will notify Tenant of its election to do one of the following: (a) consent to the proposed Transfer subject to such reasonable conditions as Landlord may impose in providing such consent; (b) refuse such consent, which refusal shall be on reasonable grounds; or (c) if for an assignment or sublease for seventy-five percent (75%) or more of the remainder of the Term, terminate this Lease as to such portion of the Premises which is proposed to be sublet or assigned and recapture such portion of the Premises for reletting by Landlord, which termination shall be effective as of the proposed Transfer Date. If Landlord exercises its option to terminate this Lease with respect to only a portion of the Premises following Tenant’s request for Landlord’s approval of the proposed sublease of such space, Landlord shall be responsible for the construction of any demising wall which Landlord reasonably deems necessary to separate such space from the remainder of the Premises.
-19-
20.3 Additional Conditions; Excess Rent. A condition to Landlord’s consent to any Transfer will be the delivery to Landlord of a true copy of the fully executed instrument of assignment, sublease, transfer or hypothecation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, an original of Landlord’s standard consent form executed by both Tenant and the proposed Transferee, and an affirmation of guaranty in form satisfactory to Landlord executed by each guarantor of this Lease, if any. In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, without affecting or reducing any other obligations of Tenant hereunder, fifty percent (50%) of any rent or other economic consideration received by Tenant as a result of any Transfer which exceeds, in the aggregate, (i) the total Rent which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (prorated to reflect obligations allocable to any portion of the Premises subleased) for the applicable period, plus (ii) any reasonable brokerage commissions and attorneys’ fees actually paid by Tenant in connection with such Transfer, which commissions and fees shall, for purposes of the aforesaid calculation, be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of such assignment or sublease. If Tenant effects a Transfer or requests the consent of Landlord to any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is consummated), then, upon demand, and as a condition precedent to Landlord’s consideration of the proposed assignment or sublease, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord a non-refundable administrative fee of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), plus Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ and paralegal fees and other costs incurred by Landlord in reviewing such proposed assignment or sublease (whether attributable to Landlord’s in-house attorneys or paralegals or otherwise). Acceptance of the Five Hundred Dollar ($500.00) administrative fee and/or reimbursement of Landlord’s attorneys’ and/or paralegal fees shall in no event obligate Landlord to consent to any proposed Transfer.
20.4 Reasonable Disapproval. Without limiting in any way Landlord’s right to withhold its consent on any reasonable grounds, it is agreed that Landlord will not be acting unreasonably in refusing to consent to a Transfer if, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion: (a) the proposed Transfer would result in more than two subleases of portions of the Premises being in effect at any one time during the Term; (b) the proposed assignee or subtenant does not have the financial capability to fulfill the obligations imposed by the Transfer; (c) the proposed Transferee is an existing tenant of the Building or Property and is negotiating with Landlord (or has negotiated with Landlord in the last three (3) months) for space in the Building or the Property; (d) the proposed Transferee is a governmental entity; (e) the portion of the Premises to be sublet or assigned is irregular in shape with inadequate means of ingress and egress; (f) the proposed Transfer involves a change of use of the Premises or would violate any exclusive use covenant to which Landlord is bound; (g) the Transfer would likely result in significant increase in the use of the parking areas by the Transferee’s employees or visitors, and/or significantly increase the demand upon utilities and services to be provided by Landlord to the Premises; or (h) the Transferee is not in Landlord’s reasonable opinion of reputable or good character or consistent with Landlord’s desired tenant mix for the Building.
20.5 No Release. No Transfer, occupancy or collection of rent from any proposed Transferee shall be deemed a waiver on the part of Landlord, or the acceptance of the Transferee as Tenant and no Transfer shall release Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay Rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Landlord may require that any Transferee remit directly to Landlord on a monthly basis, all monies due Tenant by said Transferee, and each sublease shall provide that if Landlord gives said sublessee written notice that Tenant is in default under this Lease, said sublessee will thereafter make all payments due under the sublease directly to or as directed by Landlord, which payments will be credited against any payments due under this Lease. Tenant hereby irrevocably and unconditionally assigns to Landlord all rents and other sums payable under any sublease of the Premises; provided, however, that Landlord hereby grants Tenant a license to collect all such rents and other sums so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease. Consent by Landlord to one Transfer shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent Transfer. In the event of default by any Transferee of Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such Transferee or successor. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments of this Lease or sublettings or amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto and any such actions shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this Lease. To the extent the Premises are located in California, Tenant hereby waives (for itself and all persons claiming under Tenant) the provisions of Civil Code Section 1995.310 which grant Tenant the right to terminate this Lease if Landlord unreasonably withholds its consent.
20.6 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 20.1 above to the contrary, provided that Tenant is not then in default, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof (herein, a “Permitted Transfer”), without Landlord’s consent to any entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or to any entity resulting from a merger or consolidation with Tenant, or to any person or entity which acquires substantially all the assets of Tenant’s business as a going concern or in the event of a change of controlling interest of Tenant (each, a “Permitted Transferee”), provided that: (a) at least ten (10) days prior to such assignment or sublease, Tenant delivers to Landlord a reasonably detailed description of the proposed Transfer and the financial statements and other financial and background information of the assignee or sublessee described in Section 20.2 above (provided that, if prohibited by confidentiality in connection with a proposed assignment or sublease, then Tenant shall give Landlord written notice within five (5) business days after the effective date of the proposed assignment or sublease); (b) in the case of an assignment, the assignee assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant under this Lease (or in the case of a sublease, the sublessee of a portion of the Premises or Term assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant with respect to such portion) pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement (or a sublease, as applicable) reasonably acceptable to Landlord, a fully executed copy of which is delivered to Landlord within thirty (30) days following the effective date of such assignment or subletting; (c) each guarantor of this Lease executes a reaffirmation of its guaranty in form satisfactory to Landlord; (d) the tangible net worth of the assignee or sublessee equals or exceeds that of Tenant as of the date immediately preceding the proposed Transfer; (e) Tenant remains fully liable under this Lease; (f) the use of the Premises is pursuant to Section 1.10 of this Lease; (g) such transaction is not entered into as a subterfuge to avoid the restrictions and provisions of this Article 20 and will not violate any exclusive use covenant to which Landlord is bound; and (h) with respect to a subletting only, Tenant and such Permitted Transferee execute Landlord’s commercially reasonable standard consent to sublease form; and (i) Tenant has not been in default,
-20-
beyond any applicable notice and cure period, of any monetary provisions under this Lease more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period.
ARTICLE 21 - SURRENDER AND HOLDING OVER
21.1 Surrender of Premises. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender all keys for the Premises and exclusive possession of the Premises to Landlord broom clean and in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted (and casualty damage excepted), with all of Tenant’s personal property, electronic, fiber, phone and data cabling and related equipment that is installed by or for the exclusive benefit of Tenant (to be removed in accordance with the National Electric Code and other applicable Laws) and those items, if any, of Alterations identified by Landlord pursuant to Section 13.2, removed therefrom and all damage caused by such removal repaired. If Tenant fails to remove by the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease all of its personal property and Alterations identified by Landlord for removal pursuant to Section 13.2, Landlord may, (without liability to Tenant for loss thereof), at Tenant’s sole cost and in addition to Landlord’s other rights and remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity: (a) remove and store such items in accordance with applicable Law; and/or (b) upon ten (10) days’ prior notice to Tenant, sell all or any such items at private or public sale for such price as Landlord may obtain as permitted under applicable Law. Landlord shall apply the proceeds of any such sale to any amounts due to Landlord under this Lease from Tenant (including Landlord’s attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in the removal, storage and/or sale of such items), with any remainder to be paid to Tenant.
21.2 Holding Over. Tenant will not be permitted to hold over possession of the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term without the express written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. If Tenant holds over after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term with or without the express written consent of Landlord, then, in addition to all other remedies available to Landlord, Tenant shall become a tenant at sufferance only, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease so far as applicable (including Tenant’s obligation to pay all Additional Rent under this Lease), but at a Monthly Base Rent equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Monthly Base Rent applicable to the Premises immediately prior to the date of such expiration or earlier termination. Any such holdover Rent shall be paid on a per month basis without reduction for partial months during the holdover. Acceptance by Landlord of Rent after such expiration or earlier termination shall not constitute consent to a hold over hereunder or result in an extension of this Lease. This Section 21.2 shall not be construed to create any express or implied right to holdover beyond the expiration of the Term or any extension thereof. To the extent the damages are not covered by the holdover rate, Tenant shall be liable, and shall pay to Landlord within ten (10) days after demand, for all losses incurred by Landlord as a result of such holdover, including without limitation, any claim for damages made by a succeeding tenant. The foregoing provisions of this Section 21.2 are in addition to, and do not affect, Landlord’s right of re-entry or any other rights of Landlord hereunder or otherwise at law or in equity.
ARTICLE 22 - DEFAULTS
22.1 Tenant’s Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a “Default” under this Lease by Tenant:
a. the abandonment of the Premises by Tenant;
b. the failure by Tenant to make any payment of Rent, Additional Rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, where such failure continues for three (3) business days after written notice thereof from Landlord that such payment was not received when due; provided that if Landlord provides two (2) or more notices of late payment within any twelve (12) month period, then the third failure of Tenant to make any payment of Rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder when due in the twelve (12) month period following the second (2nd) such notice shall be an automatic Default without notice from Landlord;
c. the failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than as specified in Sections 22.1(a) or (b) above, where such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s default is such that it may be cured but more than ten (10) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall commence such cure within said ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion, which completion shall occur not later than sixty (60) days from the date of such notice from Landlord; or
d. A general assignment by Tenant or any guarantor or surety of Tenant’s obligations hereunder (“Guarantor”) for the benefit of creditors;
e. The filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy by Tenant or any Guarantor, the filing by Tenant or any Guarantor of a voluntary petition for an arrangement, the filing by or against Tenant or any Guarantor of a petition, voluntary or involuntary, for reorganization, or the filing of an involuntary petition by the creditors of Tenant or any Guarantor, said involuntary petition remaining undischarged for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days;
f. Receivership, attachment, or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets on the Premises, such attachment or other seizure remaining undismissed or undischarged for a period of thirty (30) days after the levy thereof;
-21-
g. Death or disability of Tenant or any Guarantor, if Tenant or such Guarantor is a natural person, or the failure by Tenant or any Guarantor to maintain its legal existence, if Tenant or such Guarantor is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other legal entity.
Any notice sent by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Section 22.1 shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under any applicable Law.
22.2 Landlord’s Default. If Landlord defaults in performing any of its non-structural repair and maintenance obligations to the Premises as expressly stated in this Lease (including, without limitation, repair of the roof membrane of the Building) and such default creates a risk of imminent injury to person or substantial property damage, or unreasonably and materially interferes with Tenant’s ability to conduct its business at the Leased Premises, and Landlord has not cured such default within ten (10) business days after Tenant shall have given Landlord written notice specifying such default, and in the case of any such default which cannot with due diligence and in good faith be cured within ten (10) business days, within such additional period, if any, as may be reasonably required to cure such default with due diligence and in good faith (it being intended that, in connection with any such default which is not susceptible of being cured with due diligence and in good faith within ten (10) business days, the time within which Landlord is required to cure such default shall be extended for such additional period as may be necessary for the curing thereof with due diligence and in good faith), then Tenant, without being obligated to do so, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform the nonstructural repair or maintenance obligation to the Premises which Landlord failed to perform. The full amount of the reasonable costs and expenses so incurred by Tenant (the “Reimbursable Costs”) shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor (provided that such written demand is accompanied by reasonable documented evidence of the Reimbursable Costs). Tenant shall give advance notice by telephone to the individual from time to time designated by Landlord to receive such notice of Tenant’s intentions to exercise its rights under this Section in the case of an emergency.
ARTICLE 23 - REMEDIES OF LANDLORD
23.1 Landlord’s Remedies; Termination. In the event of any such Default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, to the extent the Premises are located in California, the remedies of Civil Code Section 1951.4 and any successor statute or similar Law, which provides that Landlord may continue this Lease in effect following Tenant’s breach and abandonment and collect rent as it falls due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject to reasonable limitations), Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder and to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed, stored and/or disposed of as permitted by applicable Law. If Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease, then Landlord may recover from Tenant: (a) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus (b) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (d) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom including, but not limited to: the total unamortized sum of any Abated Amount (amortized on a straight line basis over the initial Term of this Lease), tenant improvement costs; attorneys’ fees; brokers’ commissions; any costs required to return the Premises to the conditioned required at the end of the Term; the costs of refurbishment, alterations, renovation and repair of the Premises; and removal (including the repair of any damage caused by such removal) and storage (or disposal) of Tenant’s personal property, equipment, fixtures, Alterations, Tenant Improvements and any other items which Tenant is required under this Lease to remove but does not remove; plus (e) all other monetary damages allowed under applicable Law.
As used in Sections 23.1(a) and 23.1(b) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate set forth in the Summary. As used in Section 23.1(c) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). To the extent the Premises are located in California, Tenant hereby waives for Tenant and all those claiming under Tenant all right now or hereafter existing including, without limitation, any rights under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179 and Civil Code Section 1950.7 to redeem by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Premises after any termination of this Lease.
23.2 Landlord’s Remedies; Continuation of Lease; Re-Entry Rights. In the event of any such Default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall also have the right to (a) continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, and (b) with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed, stored and/or disposed of as permitted by applicable Law.

Any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means or otherwise shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof, or grounds for any abatement or reduction of Rent and Landlord shall not have any liability to Tenant for any damages or losses on account of any such entry by Landlord unless due to Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
ARTICLE 25 - LIMITATION ON LANDLORD’S LIABILITY
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, the obligations of Landlord under this Lease (including as to any actual or alleged breach or default by Landlord) do not constitute personal obligations of the individual members, managers, investors, partners, directors, officers, or shareholders of Landlord or Landlord’s members or partners, and Tenant shall not seek recourse against the individual members, managers, investors, partners, directors, officers, or shareholders of Landlord or Landlord’s members or partners or any other persons or entities having any interest in Landlord, or any of their personal assets for satisfaction of any liability with respect to this Lease. In addition, in consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder to Tenant and notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant hereby covenants and agrees for itself and all of its successors and assigns that the liability of Landlord for its obligations under this Lease (including any liability as a result of any actual or alleged failure, breach or default hereunder by Landlord), shall be limited solely to, and Tenant’s and its successors’ and assigns’ sole and exclusive remedy shall be against, Landlord’s interest in the Building, and no other assets of Landlord. The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or obligations on the part of the Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title to, or a lessee’s interest in a ground lease of, the Property.

Landlord and Landlord’s transferees and assignees shall have the absolute right to transfer all or any portion of their respective title and interest in the Premises, the Building, the Property and/or this Lease without the consent of Tenant, and such transfer or subsequent transfer shall not be deemed a violation on Landlord’s part of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease.
ARTICLE 26 - SUBORDINATION
Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust, ground lease(s) or other lien(s) now or subsequently arising upon the Premises, the Building or the Property, and to renewals, modifications, refinancings and extensions thereof (collectively referred to as a “Mortgage”). This clause shall be self-operative, but no later than ten (10) business days after written request from Landlord or any holder of a
-23-
Mortgage (each, a “Mortgagee” and collectively, “Mortgagees”), Tenant shall execute a commercially reasonable subordination agreement. As an alternative, a Mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease. No later than ten (10) business days after written request by Landlord or any Mortgagee, Tenant shall, without charge, attorn to any successor to Landlord’s interest in this Lease. Tenant hereby waives its rights under any current or future Law which gives or purports to give Tenant any right to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder in the event of any such foreclosure proceeding or sale. Should Tenant fail to sign and return any such documents within said ten (10) business day period, Tenant shall be in default hereunder.
Landlord has informed Tenant that the Property is currently encumbered by a Mortgage. Landlord shall request the Mortgagee (or its servicer) of the existing Mortgage as of the date hereof to issue its standard subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (“SNDA”), pursuant to which such beneficiary agrees to recognize this Lease in the event of default under such Mortgage or sale under such Mortgage, so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder and the SNDA may include such other provision as described in the following paragraph. Landlord’s sole obligation under this section is to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such SNDA, which efforts shall be deemed to mean that Landlord shall request such Mortgagee (or its servicer) issue such SNDA and pay the administrative cost (if any) charged by the Mortgagee for such request and for the Mortgagee’s costs to prepare the initial draft of the SNDA. Tenant is responsible for paying all costs and expenses to negotiate any changes to the SNDA, including, without limitation, the lender attorneys’ fees and disbursements. Obtaining the SNDA is not a condition precedent or subsequent to the Lease, nor a breach of Landlord’s obligation. The failure of such lender to issue its SNDA shall not relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under the Lease.
In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Article 26 to the contrary, if Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant request that Landlord ask any future Mortgagee to provide Tenant with a non-disturbance, subordination, and attornment agreement in favor of Tenant from any such Mortgagee who comes into existence after the date of this Lease, Landlord shall make such request with such future Mortgagee Such non-disturbance, subordination, and attornment agreement in favor of Tenant shall provide that, so long as Tenant is paying the rent due under the Lease and is not otherwise in default under the Lease beyond any applicable cure period, its right to possession and the other terms of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Such non-disturbance, subordination, and attornment agreement may include other commercially reasonable provisions in favor of the Mortgagee, including, without limitation, additional time on behalf of the Mortgagee to cure defaults of the Landlord and provide that (a) neither Mortgagee nor any successor-in-interest shall be bound by (i) any payment of the Base Rent or any Additional Rent or other sum due under this Lease for more than 1 month in advance or (ii) any amendment or modification of the Lease made without the express written consent of Mortgagee or any successor-in-interest; (b) neither Mortgagee nor any successor-in-interest will be liable for (i) any act or omission or warranties of any prior landlord (including Landlord), (ii) the breach of any warranties or obligations relating to construction of improvements on the property or any tenant finish work performed or to have been performed by any prior landlord (including Landlord), or (iii) the return of any security deposit, except to the extent such deposits have been received by mortgagee; and (c) neither Mortgagee nor any successor-in-interest shall be subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord), Landlord’s sole obligation under this paragraph is to request such agreement. Tenant is responsible for paying all costs and expenses for such agreement, including, without limitation, the lender attorneys’ fees and disbursements. Obtaining such agreement is not a condition precedent or subsequent to this Lease, nor a breach of Landlord’s obligation. The failure of such lender to issue such agreement shall not relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under the Lease, but Tenant’s subordination of this Lease to such future is conditioned upon such future Mortgage non terminate this Lease as provided in this paragraph.
ARTICLE 27 - ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
Within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, in a form substantially similar to the form of Exhibit F attached hereto. Any such estoppel certificate delivered pursuant to this Article 27 may be relied upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of any portion of the Property, as well as their assignees. Tenant’s failure to deliver such estoppel certificate following an additional two (2) business day cure period after notice shall constitute a default hereunder. Tenant’s failure to deliver such certificate within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance, and that not more than one (1) month’s Rent has been paid in advance.
ARTICLE 28 - RELOCATION OF PREMISES
Intentionally deleted.
ARTICLE 29 - MORTGAGEE PROTECTION
If, in connection with Landlord’s obtaining or entering into any financing or ground lease for any portion of the Building or Property, the lender or ground lessor shall request modifications to this Lease, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after request therefor, execute an amendment to this Lease including such modifications, provided such modifications are reasonable, do not increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder, or adversely affect the leasehold estate created hereby or Tenant’s rights hereunder. In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will give notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of trust or mortgagee covering the Premises or ground lessor of Landlord whose address shall have been furnished to Tenant, and shall offer such beneficiary, mortgagee or ground lessor a reasonable opportunity to cure the default (including with respect to any such beneficiary or mortgagee, time to obtain possession of the Premises, subject to this Lease and Tenant’s rights hereunder, by power of sale or judicial foreclosure, if such should prove necessary to effect a cure).

Landlord shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Office Improvements to be substantially completed as soon as is commercially reasonable after the date the Lease is fully executed by the parties, but in no event later ninety (90) days following the Commencement Date.
3. ALLOWANCE IMPROVEMENTS. As used in the Lease and this Work Letter Agreement, the term “Allowance Improvements” or “Allowance Improvement Work” means those items of general tenant improvement construction shown on the Final Allowance Improvement Plans (hereinafter defined). Landlord has agreed to provide the Allowance (as hereinafter defined) for payment of costs for the Allowance Improvements as provided in Section 3 and all subsections thereof in this Work Letter.
3.1 Allowance Improvement Notice. Tenant shall provide written notice to Landlord of Tenant’s desire to have the Allowance Improvements constructed by Landlord as provided in this Work Letter (the “Notice to Proceed”). The Notice to Proceed must be provided by Tenant sufficiently in advance of the Outside Date (hereinafter defined) to afford Landlord a commercially reasonable period of time to obtain the approved Allowance Improvement Final Plans (hereinafter defined) and substantially complete the Allowance Improvements within two (2) years after the date of the Lease is executed by the parties (the “Outside Date”). If Tenant does not
EXHIBIT C
-1-
provide the Notice to Proceed in sufficient time for the Allowance Improvements to be completed by the Outside Date, then Tenant shall not be eligible or entitled to the Allowance. For the purposes of this Section, “sufficiently in advance” and “sufficient time” shall mean at least three (3) months prior to the Outside Date.
3.2 Work Schedule for Allowance Improvements. Within a commercially reasonable period of time after Landlord’s receipt of the Notice to Proceed, Landlord will deliver to Tenant, for Tenant’s review and approval, a schedule (“Work Schedule”) which will set forth the timetable for the planning and completion of the installation of the Allowance Improvements. The Work Schedule will set forth each of the various items of work to be done or approval to be given by Landlord and Tenant in connection with the completion of the Allowance Improvements. The Work Schedule will be submitted to Tenant for its approval, which approval Tenant agrees not to unreasonably withhold, and, once approved by both Landlord and Tenant, the Work Schedule will become the basis for completing the Allowance Improvements, subject to adjustment when the Allowance Improvement Final Plans are done. All plans and drawings required for the Allowance Improvements and all work performed pursuant thereto are to be prepared and performed in accordance with the Work Schedule. Landlord may, from time to time during construction of the Allowance Improvements, modify the Work Schedule as Landlord reasonably deems appropriate. If Tenant fails to approve the Work Schedule or fails to respond to Landlord with further comments, as it may be modified after discussions between Landlord and Tenant within five (5) business days after the date the Work Schedule is first received by Tenant, the Work Schedule shall be deemed to be approved by Tenant as submitted.
3.3 Preparation of Space Plans. Tenant agrees to meet with Landlord’s architect and/or space planner for the purpose of promptly preparing preliminary space plans for the layout of the Allowance Improvements in the Premises (“Allowance Improvement Space Plans”). The Allowance Improvement Space Plans are to be sufficient to convey the architectural design of the Premises and layout of the Allowance Improvements therein and are to be submitted to Landlord in accordance with the Work Schedule for Landlord’s approval. If Landlord reasonably disapproves any aspect of the Allowance Improvement Space Plans, Landlord will advise Tenant in writing of such disapproval and the reasons therefor in accordance with the Work Schedule. Tenant will then submit to Landlord for Landlord’s approval, in accordance with the Work Schedule, a redesign of the Space Plans incorporating the revisions reasonably required by Landlord.
3.4 Preparation of Final Plans. Based on the approved Allowance Improvement Space Plans, and in accordance with the Work Schedule, Landlord’s architect will prepare complete architectural plans, drawings and specifications and complete engineered mechanical, structural and electrical working drawings for all of the Allowance Improvements for the Premises (collectively, the “Allowance Improvement Final Plans”). The Allowance Improvement Final Plans will be submitted to Tenant for signature to confirm that they are consistent with the Allowance Improvement Space Plans. If Tenant reasonably disapproves any aspect of the Allowance Improvement Final Plans based on any inconsistency with the Allowance Improvement Space Plans, Tenant agrees to advise Landlord in writing of such disapproval and the reasons therefor within the time frame set forth in the Work Schedule. In accordance with the Work Schedule, Landlord will, subject to Section 3.5 below, then cause Landlord’s architect to redesign the Allowance Improvement Final Plans incorporating the revisions reasonably requested by Tenant so as to make the Allowance Improvement Final Plans consistent with the Allowance Improvement Space Plans.
3.5 Requirements of Tenant’s Final Plans. Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its consent to changes in the Allowance Improvement Final Plans proposed by Tenant provided the Allowance Improvement Final Plans, as revised, will: (i) be compatible with the Building shell and with the design, construction and equipment of the Building; (ii) be comprised of the Building standards set forth in the written description thereof or of at least equal quality as such Building standards and approved by Landlord; (iii) comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction, and all applicable insurance regulations; (iv) will not overload the Building floors; and (v) be of a nature and quality consistent with the overall objectives of Landlord for the Building, as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion.
3.6 Submittal of Final Plans. Once approved by Landlord and Tenant, Landlord’s architect will submit the Allowance Improvement Final Plans to the appropriate governmental agencies for plan checking and the issuance of a building permit to the extent Landlord determines permits are required due to nature and type of the Allowance Improvements. Landlord’s architect, with Tenant’s cooperation, will make any changes to the Allowance Improvement Final Plans which are requested by the applicable governmental authorities to obtain the building permit. After approval of the Allowance Improvement Final Plans no further changes may be made without the prior written approval of both Landlord and Tenant, and then only after agreement by Tenant to pay any costs resulting from the design and/or construction of such changes (that are requested by Tenant) in excess of the Allowance. Tenant hereby acknowledges that it shall be responsible for any additional costs to be incurred in connection with any such changes and for delay in constructing the Allowance Improvements. Landlord’s approval of the Allowance Improvement Final Plans shall create no liability or responsibility on the part of Landlord for the completeness of such plans or their design sufficiency or compliance with laws.
3.7 Changes to Shell of Building. If the Allowance Improvement Final Plans or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto shall require changes in the Building shell, the increased cost of the Building shell work caused by such changes will be paid for by Tenant or charged against the “Allowance” described below.
3.8 Work Cost Estimate and Statement. Prior to the commencement of construction of any of the Allowance Improvements shown on the Allowance Improvement Final Plans, Landlord will submit to Tenant a written estimate of the cost (the “Work Cost”) to complete the Allowance Improvements, which written estimate
EXHIBIT C
-2-
will be based on the Allowance Improvement Final Plans taking into account any modifications which may be required to reflect changes in the Allowance Improvements Final Plans required by the City or County in which the Premises are located (the “Work Cost Estimate”). Tenant will either approve the Work Cost Estimate or disapprove specific items and submit to Landlord revisions to the Allowance Improvement Final Plans to reflect deletions of and/or substitutions for such disapproved items. Submission and approval of the Work Cost Estimate will proceed in accordance with the Work Schedule. Upon Tenant’s approval of the Work Cost Estimate (such approved Work Cost Estimate to be hereinafter known as the “Work Cost Statement”), Landlord will have the right to purchase materials and to commence the construction of the items included in the Work Cost Statement pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof. If the total costs reflected in the Work Cost Statement exceed the Allowance described in Section 3.9 below, Tenant agrees to pay such excess, as additional rent, within twenty (20) days after Tenant’s approval of the Work Cost Estimate. Throughout the course of construction, any differences between the estimated Work Cost in the Work Cost Statement and the actual Work Cost will be determined by Landlord and approved by Tenant, and appropriate adjustments and payments by Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, will be made within twenty (20) days thereafter.
3.9 Payment for the Allowance Improvements.

-3-
used to pay for Tenant’s furniture, artifacts, equipment, telephone systems or any other item of personal property which is not affixed to the Premises.

RIDER NO. 2 TO LEASE
This Rider No. 2 is made and entered into by and between LBA REALTY FUND II – WBP II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and GIGAMON LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tenant”), as of the day and year of the Lease between Landlord and Tenant to which this Rider No. 2 is attached. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the provisions set forth below shall be deemed to be part of the Lease and shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of the Lease. All references in the Lease and in this Rider No. 2 to the “Lease” shall be construed to mean the Lease (and all Exhibits and Riders attached thereto), as amended and supplemented by this Rider No. 2. All capitalized terms not defined in this Rider No. 2 shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Lease.
1. The term “fair market rental rate” as used in this Rider No. 2 and any Rider attached to the Lease means the annual amount per square foot, projected for each year of the Option Term (including annual adjustments), that a willing, non-equity tenant {excluding sublease and assignment transactions) would pay, and a willing landlord of a comparable quality building located in the Milpitas, California area would accept, in an arm’s length transaction (what Landlord is accepting in, then current transactions for the Building may be used for purposes of projecting rent for the Option Term), for space of comparable size, quality and floor height as the Premises, taking into account the age, quality and layout of the existing improvements in the Premises, and taking into account items that professional real estate brokers or professional real estate appraisers customarily consider, including, but not limited to, rental rates, space availability, tenant size, tenant improvement allowances, parking charges and any other lease considerations, if any, then being charged or granted by Landlord or the lessors of such similar buildings under similar triple net leases.
2. The Option Term’s initial Monthly Base Rent is to be based on the fair market rental rate for the Premises. Landlord shall provide written notice of Landlord’s determination of the fair market rental rate not later than thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Exercise Notice. Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days (“Tenant’s Review Period”) after receipt of Landlord’s notice of the fair market rental rate within which to accept such fair market rental rate or to reasonably object thereto in writing. Failure of Tenant to so object to the fair market rental rate submitted by Landlord in writing within Tenant’s Review Period shall conclusively be deemed Tenant’s disapproval thereof. If within Tenant’s Review Period Tenant reasonably objects to or is deemed to have disapproved the fair market rental rate submitted by Landlord, Landlord and Tenant will meet together with their respective legal counsel to present and discuss their individual determinations of the fair market rental rate for the Premises under the parameters set forth in Paragraph 1 above and shall diligently and in good faith attempt to negotiate a rental rate on the basis of such individual determinations. Such meeting shall occur no later than ten (10) days after the expiration of Tenant’s Review Period. The parties shall each provide the other with such supporting information and documentation as they deem appropriate. At such meeting if Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the fair market rental rate, they shall each submit to the other their respective best and final offer as to the fair market rental rate. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement on such fair market rental rate within five (5) business days following such a meeting (the “Outside Agreement Date”), “I fair market rental rate shall be determined by appraisal procedure set forth in Section 3 below.
3. (a) Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one (1) independent appraiser who shall by profession be an M.A.I. certified real estate appraiser who shall have been active over the ten (10) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of commercial (including office) properties in the Milpitas, California area. The determination of the appraisers shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s last proposed (as of the Outside Agreement Date) best and final fair market rental rate for the Premises is the closest to the actual fair market rental rate for the Premises as determined by the appraisers, taking into account the requirements specified in Section 1 above. Each such appraiser shall be appointed within ten (10) business days after the Outside Agreement Date.
(b) The two (2) appraisers so appointed shall within ten (10) business days after the date of the appointment of the last appointed appraiser agree upon and appoint a third impartial appraiser who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two (2) appraisers.
(c) The three (3) appraisers shall within ten (10) business days after the appointment of the third appraiser reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted best and final fair market rental rate, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. During such ten (10) business day period, Landlord and Tenant may submit to the appraisers such information and documentation to support their respective positions as they shall deem reasonably relevant and Landlord and Tenant may each appear before the appraisers jointly to question and respond to questions from the appraisers.
(d) The decision of the majority of the three (3) appraisers shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and neither party shall have the right to reject the decision or to undo the exercise of the applicable Option. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser within the time period specified in Section 3(a) hereinabove, the appraiser appointed by one of them shall within ten (10) business days following the date on which the party failing to appoint an appraiser could have last appointed such appraiser reach a decision based upon the same procedures as set forth above (i.e., by selecting either Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted best and final fair market rental rate), and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such appraiser’s decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and neither party shall have the right to reject the decision or to undo the exercise of the Extension Option.

(e) If the two (2) appraisers fail to agree upon and appoint a third appraiser, either party, upon ten (10) days written notice to the other party, can apply to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of Santa Xxxxx County to appoint a third appraiser meeting the qualifications set forth herein. The third appraiser, however, selected shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either party.
(f) The cost of each party’s appraiser shall be the responsibility of the party selecting such appraiser, and the cost of the third appraiser (or arbitration, if necessary) shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant.
(g) If the process described hereinabove has not resulted in a selection of either Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted best and final fair market rental rate by the commencement of the Option Term, then the fair market rental rate estimated by Landlord will be used until the appraiser(s) reach a decision, with an appropriate rental credit and other adjustments for any overpayments of Monthly Base Rent or other amounts if the appraisers select Tenant’s submitted best and final estimate of the fair market rental rate. The parties shall enter into an amendment to this Lease confirming the Option Term and the terms of the decision.
