ARTICLE 1
PREMISES, BUILDING, PROJECT, AND COMMON AREAS
1.1 Premises, Building, Project and Common Areas.
1.1.1 The Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the premises set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary (the “Premises”). The outline of the Premises is set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. The parties hereto agree that the lease of the Premises is upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth, and Tenant covenants as a material part of the consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each and all of such terms, covenants and conditions by it to be kept and performed and that this Lease is made upon the condition of such performance. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the purpose of Exhibit A is to show the approximate location of the Premises in the “Building,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.2, below, only, and such Exhibit is not meant to constitute an agreement, representation or warranty as to the construction of the Premises, the precise area thereof or the specific location of the “Common Areas,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.3, below, or the elements thereof or of the accessways to the Premises or the “Project,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.2, below. Except as specifically set forth in this Lease and in the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Tenant Work Letter”), Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement work or services related to the improvement of the Premises. Tenant also acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises, the Building or the Project or with respect to the suitability of any of the foregoing for the conduct of Tenant’s business, except as specifically set forth in this Lease and the Tenant Work Letter. The taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall conclusively establish that the Premises and the Building were at such time in good and sanitary order, condition and repair.
1.1.2 The Building and The Project. The Premises are a part of the building set forth in Section 2.1 of the Summary (the “Building”). The Building is part of an office project currently known as “000 Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx.” The term “Project,” as used in this Lease, shall mean (i) the Building and the Common Areas, (ii) the land (which is improved with landscaping, parking facilities and other improvements) upon which the Building and the Common Areas are located, and (iii) at Landlord’s discretion, any additional real property, areas, land, buildings or other improvements added thereto outside of the Project (collectively, “Additional Property”); provided, however, the addition of any such Additional Property shall not increase the Base Rent payable by Tenant under the terms of this Lease or otherwise increase Tenants’ obligations (including Tenant’s obligations to pay Additional Rent) or reduce Tenant’s rights under this Lease or interfere with Tenant’s access to and/or use of the Premises.
1.1.3 Common Areas. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use in common with other tenants in the Project, and subject to the rules and regulations referred to in Article 5 of this Lease, those portions of the Project which are provided, from time to time, for use in common by Landlord, Tenant and any other tenants of the Project (such areas, together with such other portions of the Project designated by Landlord, in its discretion, including certain areas designated for the exclusive use of certain tenants, or to be shared by Landlord and certain tenants, are collectively referred to herein as the “Common Areas”). The Common Areas shall consist of the “Project Common Areas” and the “Building Common Areas.” The term “Project Common Areas,” as used in this Lease, shall mean the portion of the Project designated as such by Landlord. The term “Building Common Areas,” as used in this Lease, shall mean the portions of the Common Areas located within the Building designated as such by Landlord. The manner in which the Common Areas are maintained and operated shall be at the reasonable discretion of Landlord (but shall at least be consistent with the manner in which the common areas of the “Comparable Buildings,” as that term is defined in Section 4 of Exhibit F, attached hereto) and the use thereof shall be subject to such reasonable rules, regulations and restrictions as Landlord may make from time to time; provided, however, Landlord shall not enact any such rules and regulations intended to discriminate against Tenant vis-à-vis the other tenants of the Building, and provided further that Tenant’s access to and use of the Premises for the Permitted Use is not materially affected. Landlord reserves the right to close temporarily, make alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of the Project and the Common Areas.
1.2 Rentable Square Feet of Premises and Building. For purposes of this Lease, the “usable square feet” and “rentable square feet” in the Premises and the Building, as the case may be, shall be calculated pursuant to Office Buildings: Methods of Measurement and Calculating Rentable Area – 2010, and its accompanying guidelines
000 XXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX | ||||
[Yelp Inc.] |
(“BOMA”), as interpreted for the Building by Landlord’s architect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant hereby stipulate and agree that (i) the rentable area of the Building is as set forth in Section 2.1 of the Summary, and (ii) the rentable area of the Premises is as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary.
1.3 Expansion Space. Landlord hereby grants to the originally named Tenant herein (“Original Tenant“), and any “Permitted Transferee,” as that term is defined in Section 14.8 of this Lease, below, the right to lease additional space in the Building upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.3 and this Lease.
1.3.1 Expansion Space/Delivery Periods. Original Tenant and any Permitted Transferee only (and not any other assignee, sublessee or “Transferee,” as that term is defined in Section 14.1, below, of Tenant’s interest in this Lease) shall have the right to lease the “Expansion Space,” as that term is defined below, at the times set forth in this Section 1.3.1, and in the manner as set forth in this Section 1.3. The term “Expansion Space,” as used in this Lease, shall refer, individually or collectively, as the context may require, to “Expansion Space 1,” “Expansion Space 2,” and “Expansion Space 3,” respectively, as those terms are defined below. The date upon which Landlord shall deliver any Expansion Space to Tenant shall be referred to as the “Delivery Date.”
Expansion Space |
Delivery Date | |
A. 12,268 rentable square feet of space consisting of the entire 4th floor of the Building and more commonly known as Suite 400 (“Expansion Space 1”). | October 1, 2014 | |
B. 12,268 rentable square feet of space consisting of the entire 3rd floor of the Building and more commonly known as Suite 300 (“Expansion Space 2”); provided, however, if Tenant does not exercise its right to lease Expansion Space 1 pursuant to the terms of this Section 1.3, then Expansion Space 2 shall be, in lieu of the third (3rd) floor of the Building, the entire fourth (4th) floor of the Building as more specifically described above as Expansion Space 1. | October 1, 2015 | |
C. 12,268 rentable square feet of space consisting of the entire 2nd floor of the Building and more commonly known as Suite 200 (“Expansion Space 3”); provided, however, if Tenant does not exercise its right to lease Expansion Space 1 and/or Expansion Space 2, pursuant to the terms of this Section 1.3 or 1.4, above, as applicable, then, at Landlord’s option, Expansion Space 3 may, in lieu of the second (2nd) floor of the Building, be either (i) the entire fourth (4th) floor of the Building as more specifically described above as Expansion Space 1, or (ii) the entire third (3rd) floor of the Building as more specifically described above as Expansion Space 2. | The fifth (5th) anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date |
1.3.2 Method of Exercise. If Tenant desires to exercise Tenant’s option to lease an Expansion Space, then Tenant shall exercise such option by delivering written notice thereof to Landlord (an “Expansion Exercise Notice“) on or before the date which is (i) twelve (12) months prior to the Delivery Date with respect to Expansion Space 1 and Expansion Space 3, and (ii) eighteen (18) months prior to the Delivery Date with respect to Expansion Space 2.
1.3.3 Delivery of Expansion Space.
1.3.3.1 Delivery During the Delivery Period. Landlord shall deliver Expansion Space to Tenant on the Delivery Date applicable to such Expansion Space.
000 XXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX | ||||
-5- | [Yelp Inc.] |
1.3.3.2 Delivery of Expansion Space 3. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord shall have the right to lease Expansion Space 3 to a third party Tenant as long as such lease is not scheduled to expire after the Delivery Date applicable to Expansion Space 3. If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Expansion Space 3 to Tenant on the applicable Delivery Date because a then-existing tenant is holding over is such space, then, provided, Landlord uses commercially reasonable efforts to evict such holdover tenant in a timely manner, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for its failure to deliver the Expansion Space 3 to Tenant on the applicable Delivery Date, and such failure shall not affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder; provided, however, if Landlord is unable to deliver the Expansion Space 3 to Tenant on or before the date that occurs ninety (90) days following the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date (the “Expansion Space 3 Outside Date”), then Tenant shall receive one (1) day of rent abatement with respect to Expansion Space 3 for each day that occurs after the Expansion Space 3 Outside Date and before the date Landlord delivers the Expansion Space 3 to Tenant.
1.3.4 Expansion Rent. The annual “Base Rent,” as that term is defined in Section 3.1 of this Lease, payable by Tenant for Expansion Space leased by Tenant (the “Expansion Rent“) shall be equal to (i) $51.50 with respect to Expansion Space 1, (ii) $53.05 with respect to Expansion Space 2, and (iii) $57.96 with respect to Expansion Space 3. The foregoing Base Rent amounts shall be increased by three percent (3%) on each anniversary of the “Expansion Space Commencement Date,” as that term is defined in Section 1.3.6 of this Lease, below, as applicable to each such Expansion Space. With respect to each Expansion Space leased by Tenant, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses pursuant to Article 4 of the Lease; provided that (a) Tenant’s Share with respect to each such Expansion Space shall be a percentage, which percentage shall be equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable square feet of the applicable Expansion Space and the denominator of which is the rentable square feet of the Building, and (b) the Base Year with respect to each such Expansion Space shall be calendar year in which Landlord delivers each such Expansion Space to Tenant. In addition, in the event that Tenant exercises its right to lease particular Expansion Space, then (x) the “L-C Amount,” as that term is defined in Article 21 of this Lease, below, shall thereafter be increased by an amount equal to the product of (A) an amount equal to $40.50 for each rentable square foot in the applicable Expansion Premises, and (B) a percentage, which may be expressed as a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Base Rent payments Tenant shall be required to make during the initial Lease Term with respect to the Expansion Premises, and denominator of which shall be ninety-six (96), and (y) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, concurrently with Tenant’s execution of the applicable amendment to this Lease with respect to such Expansion Space, an additional L-C which, when combined with the L-C then being held by Landlord totals the full L-C Amount then required under Article 21 and this Section 1.3.
1.3.5 Construction in Expansion Space. Tenant shall accept the Expansion Space in its then existing “as is” condition. The construction of improvements in the Expansion Space shall comply with the terms of Article 8, below; provided, however, with respect to Expansion Space 1 and Expansion Space 2, (A) the delivery condition of the Expansion Space shall be consistent with the delivery condition of the Premises, as set forth in Section 1.2.2 of the Tenant Work Letter, subject to any changes required by Applicable Law, and (B) Tenant shall receive an improvement allowance (which shall be disbursed by Landlord pursuant to Landlord’s normal disbursement process for the Building), in an amount equal to the product of (i) $60.00, and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of monthly Base Rent payments to be made by Tenant with respect to the Expansion Space 1 and Expansion Space 2 during the initial Lease Term, and the denominator of which shall be ninety-six (96). Expansion Space 3 shall be delivered to Tenant in its then-existing “as is” condition and Tenant shall not receive an improvement allowance with respect to Expansion Space 3; provided, however, the Expansion Space 3 shall be delivered with an HVAC room, which HVAC room shall include an air handling unit, consistent with the existing HVAC room and air handling unit.
1.3.6 Amendment to Lease. If Tenant timely exercises its right to lease Expansion Space as set forth herein, then, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment adding such Expansion Space to this Lease upon the same terms and conditions as the initial Premises, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 1.3, and provided that the terms of the Tenant Work Letter (except with respect to the delivery condition, as set forth in Section 1.3.5, above), and Section 3.2 of this Lease shall not apply with respect to the Expansion Space. The rentable square footage of such Expansion Space shall be as set forth in Section 1.3.1, above. Tenant shall commence payment of the Expansion Rent to Landlord and the term of the Expansion Space shall commence upon that date (the “Expansion Space Commencement Date”) upon which Landlord delivers the Expansion Space to Tenant. The lease term of the Expansion Space shall expire on the Lease Expiration Date.

1.3.7 No Defaults. The rights contained in this Section 1.3 shall be personal to Original Tenant and any Permitted Transferee, may only be exercised by Original Tenant or a Permitted Transferee (and not any other assignee, sublessee or Transferee, of Tenant’s interest in this Lease) if the Lease then remains in full force and effect and if Original Tenant or Permitted Transferee, as the case may be, occupies at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Premises. Tenant shall not have the right to lease Expansion Space as provided in this Section 1.3 if, as of the date of the attempted exercise of the expansion option by Tenant, or as of the scheduled date of delivery of such Expansion Space to Tenant, an “Option Nullification Default,” as that term is defined below, has occurred under this Lease and such default then remains uncured. As used in this Lease, an “Option Nullification Default” shall mean (A) Tenant is in monetary default under the terms of this Lease, beyond any applicable period of notice and cure expressly set forth in this Lease, or (B) Tenant is in material non-monetary default under this Lease, beyond any applicable period of notice and cure expressly set forth in this Lease.
ARTICLE 2
LEASE TERM; OPTION TERM; BENEFICIAL OCCUPANCY
2.1 Lease Term. The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the date of this Lease. The term of this Lease (the “Lease Term”) shall be as set forth in Section 3.1 of the Summary, shall commence on the date set forth in Section 3.2 of the Summary (the “Lease Commencement Date”), and shall terminate on the date set forth in Section 3.3 of the Summary (the “Lease Expiration Date”) unless this Lease is sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Lease Year” shall mean each consecutive twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term. Subject to the terms of Section 2.5, below, if Landlord is unable for any reason to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on any specific date, then Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for its failure to do so, and such failure shall not affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder. At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may deliver to Tenant a notice in the form as set forth in Exhibit C, attached hereto, as a confirmation only of the information set forth therein, which Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within fifteen (15) business days of receipt thereof.
2.2 Option Term.
2.2.1 Option Right. Landlord hereby grants to the Original Tenant, one (1) option to extend the Lease Term for a period of five (5) years (the “Option Term”). The option to extend shall be exercisable only by notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord as provided in Section 2.2.3, below, provided that, as of the date of delivery of such notice, an Option Nullification Default has not occurred under this Lease and then remains uncured. Upon the proper exercise of the option to extend, and provided that, at Landlord’s option, as of the end of the initial Lease Term, an Option Nullification Default has not occurred under this Lease and then remains uncured, the Lease Term shall be extended for a period of five (5) years. The rights contained in this Section 2.2 shall be personal to the Original Tenant and any Permitted Transferee and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant or a Permitted Transferee (and not any other assignee or sublessee or Transferee of Tenant’s interest in this Lease) if the Original Tenant or a Permitted Transferee, as the case may be, occupies at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Premises. In the event that Tenant fails to timely and appropriately exercise its option to extend in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2, then the option to extend granted to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.2 shall automatically terminate and shall be of no further force or effect.
2.2.2 Option Rent. The Rent payable by Tenant during the Option Term (the “Option Rent”) shall be equal to the “Market Rent,” as that term is defined in Exhibit F, attached hereto, as such Market Rent is determined pursuant to Exhibit F, attached hereto. The calculation of the “Market Rent” shall be derived from a review of, and comparison to, the “Net Equivalent Lease Rates” of the “Comparable Transactions,” as provided for in Exhibit F, and, thereafter, the Market Rent shall be stated as a “Net Equivalent Lease Rate” for the Option Term.
2.2.3 Exercise of Option. The option contained in this Section 2.2 shall be exercised by Tenant, if at all, and only in the following manner: (i) Tenant shall deliver written notice (the “Option Interest Notice”) to Landlord not more than fifteen (15) months nor less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term, stating that Tenant is interested in exercising its option; (ii) Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt of the Option Interest Notice, deliver notice (the “Option Rent Notice”) to Tenant setting forth the Option Rent; and (iii) if Tenant wishes to exercise such option, Tenant shall, on or before the date occurring thirty (30)

days after Tenant’s receipt of the Option Rent Notice, deliver written notice thereof to Landlord, and upon, and concurrent with, such exercise, Tenant may, at its option, accept or reject the Option Rent set forth in the Option Rent Notice. If Tenant exercises its option to extend the Lease but fails to accept or reject the Option Rent set forth in the Option Rent Notice, then Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Option Rent set forth in the Option Rent Notice.
2.2.4 Determination of Option Rent. In the event Tenant timely and appropriately exercises its option to extend the Lease but rejects the Option Rent set forth in the Option Rent Notice pursuant to Section 2.2.3, above, then Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon the Option Rent using their best good-faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement upon the Option Rent applicable to the Option Term on or before the date that is ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term (the “Outside Agreement Date“), then the Option Rent shall be determined by arbitration as required pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.2.4, and each party shall thereafter make a separate determination of the Option Rent, within five (5) business days following the Outside Agreement Date, and such determinations shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Sections 2.2.4.1 through 2.2.4.4, below.
2.2.4.1 Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be a MAI appraiser or a real estate broker who shall have been active over the ten (10) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the appraising and/or leasing of first class office properties in the vicinity of the Building. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue area of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Option Rent is the closest to the actual Option Rent as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of Section 2.2.2 of this Lease. Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date. Landlord and Tenant may consult with their selected arbitrators prior to appointment and may select an arbitrator who is favorable to their respective positions (including an arbitrator who has previously represented Landlord and/or Tenant, as applicable). The arbitrators so selected by Landlord and Tenant shall be deemed “Advocate Arbitrators.” The Advocate Arbitrators shall submit their determinations of Market Rent to both parties within fifteen (15) days after their selection. If the difference between the Market Rents submitted by the two (2) Advocate Arbitrators, based on the aggregate economic payments during the Option Term, as reasonably estimated using the “Net Equivalent Lease Rate” approach set forth on Exhibit F in order to allow an apples-to-apples comparison of the two submitted Market Rents, is five percent (5%) or less of the higher Net Equivalent Lease Rate, then the average between the two (2) determinations shall be the Option Rent for the Premises.
2.2.4.2 If the difference between the Market Rents submitted by the two (2) Advocate Arbitrators is greater than five percent (5%) (based on the Market Rent comparison method set forth in Section 2.2.4.1, above), then the two Advocate Arbitrators so appointed shall be specifically required pursuant to an engagement letter within ten (10) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed Advocate Arbitrator to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator (“Neutral Arbitrator”) who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the two Advocate Arbitrators except that (i) neither the Landlord or Tenant or either parties’ Advocate Arbitrator may, directly or indirectly, consult with the Neutral Arbitrator prior or subsequent to his or her appearance, and (ii) the Neutral Arbitrator cannot be someone who has represented Landlord and/or Tenant during the five (5) year period prior to such appointment. The Neutral Arbitrator shall be retained via an engagement letter jointly prepared by Landlord’s counsel and Tenant’s counsel.
2.2.4.3 Within ten (10) business days following the appointment of the Arbitrator, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an arbitration agreement (the “Arbitration Agreement”) which shall set forth the following:
2.2.4.3.1 Each of Landlord’s and Tenant’s best and final and binding determination of the Option Rent exchanged by the parties pursuant to Section 2.2.4, above;
2.2.4.3.2 An agreement to be signed by the Neutral Arbitrator, the form of which agreement shall be attached as an exhibit to the Arbitration Agreement, whereby the Neutral Arbitrator shall agree to undertake the arbitration and render a decision in accordance with the terms of this Lease, as modified by the Arbitration Agreement, and shall require the Neutral Arbitrator to demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the parties that the Neutral Arbitrator has no conflicts of interest with either Landlord or Tenant;
2.2.4.3.3 Instructions to be followed by the Neutral Arbitrator when conducting such arbitration;

2.2.4.3.5 That within five (5) business days following the exchange of Briefs, Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to provide the Neutral Arbitrator (with a copy to the other party) with a written rebuttal to the other party’s Brief (the “Rebuttals”); provided, however, such Rebuttals shall be limited to the facts and arguments raised in the other party’s Brief and shall identify clearly which argument or fact of the other party’s Brief is intended to be rebutted;
2.2.4.3.6 The date, time and location of the arbitration, which shall be mutually and reasonably agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, taking into consideration the schedules of the Neutral Arbitrator, the Advocate Arbitrators, Landlord and Tenant, and each party’s applicable consultants, which date shall in any event be within forty-five (45) days following the appointment of the Neutral Arbitrator;
2.2.4.3.8 That no discovery shall take place in connection with the arbitration, other than to verify the factual information that is presented by Landlord or Tenant;
2.2.4.3.9 That the Neutral Arbitrator shall not be allowed to undertake an independent investigation or consider any factual information other than presented by Landlord or Tenant, except that the Neutral Arbitrator shall be permitted to visit the Project and the buildings containing the Comparable Transactions;
2.2.4.3.10 The specific persons that shall be allowed to attend the arbitration;
2.2.4.3.11 Tenant shall have the right to present oral arguments to the Neutral Arbitrator at the arbitration for a period of time not to exceed two (2) hours (“Tenant’s Initial Statement”);
2.2.4.3.12 Following Tenant’s Initial Statement, Landlord shall have the right to present oral arguments to the Neutral Arbitrator at the arbitration for a period of time not to exceed two (2) hours (“Landlord’s Initial Statement”);
2.2.4.3.13 Following Landlord’s Initial Statement, Tenant shall have up to one (1) additional hour to present additional arguments and/or to rebut the arguments of Landlord (“Tenant’s Rebuttal Statement”);
2.2.4.3.14 Following Tenant’s Rebuttal Statement, Landlord shall have up to one (1) additional hour to present additional arguments and/or to rebut the arguments of Tenant (“Landlord’s Rebuttal Statement”);

2.2.4.3.16 That following notification of the Ruling, Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Option Rent determination, whichever is selected by the Neutral Arbitrator as being closer to the Option Rent shall become the then applicable Option Rent; and
2.2.4.3.17 That the decision of the Neutral Arbitrator shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant.
If a date by which an event described in Section 2.2.4.3, above, is to occur falls on a weekend or a holiday, the date shall be deemed to be the next business day.

2.2.4.4 In the event that the Option Rent shall not have been determined pursuant to the terms hereof prior to the commencement of the Option Term, Tenant shall be required to pay the Option Rent, initially provided by Landlord to Tenant, and upon the final determination of the Option Rent, the payments made by Tenant shall be reconciled with the actual amounts due, and the appropriate party shall make any corresponding payment to the other party.
2.3 Beneficial Occupancy. Tenant shall have the right to occupy the Premises prior to the Lease Commencement Date, provided that (A) Tenant shall give Landlord at least ten (10) days’ prior notice of any such occupancy of the Premises, (B) a temporary certificate of occupancy, or its equivalent, shall have been issued by the appropriate governmental authorities for the Premises, and (C) all of the terms and conditions of the Lease shall apply, other than Tenant’s obligation to pay “Base Rent,” as that term is defined in Article 3 below, and “Tenant’s Share” of the “Direct Expenses,” as those terms are defined in Article 4, below, as though the Lease Commencement Date had occurred (although the Lease Commencement Date shall not actually occur until the occurrence of the same pursuant to the terms of the second sentence of Section 2.1).
2.4 Partial Termination Right.
2.4.1 Exercise of Partial Termination Right. Tenant shall have the right to terminate and cancel this Lease, effective anytime after fifth (5th) Lease Year, with respect to either (A) one (1) entire floor of the Premises, which must be either the highest floor leased by Tenant in the Building or the lowest floor leased by Tenant in the Building, or (B) two (2) contiguous entire floors of the Premises, one of which must be either the highest floor leased by Tenant in the Building or the lowest floor leased by Tenant in the Building (as applicable, the “Terminated Space”), provided that, not later than twelve (12) months prior to the “Termination Date,” as that term is defined below, Landlord receives written notice from Tenant (the “Termination Notice”) that Tenant intends to terminate this Lease pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.4, which Termination Notice shall set forth the Terminated Space and the date upon which this Lease shall terminate (the “Termination Date”) with respect to the Terminated Space, which Termination Date shall in no event occur prior to the end of the fifth (5th) Lease Year. Upon Tenant’s delivery of the Termination Notice to Landlord, all of Tenant’s rights under Section 1.3 (with respect to the Expansion Space), shall automatically terminate and be of no further force. On or before the Termination Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord cash in the amount of the “Termination Fee,” as that term is defined below, as consideration for such early termination of the Terminated Space. As used in this Lease, the “Termination Fee” shall equal to the sum of (1) the aggregate amount of “Base Rent,” as that term is defined in Article 3, below, which would otherwise be due and owing by Tenant (as if this Lease had not been terminated by Tenant pursuant to this Section 2.4) for the for the three (3) calendar month immediately following the Termination Date, and (2) the “Unamortized Value as of the Termination Date,” as that term is defined below, of the “Lease Concessions,” as that term is defined below, with respect to the Terminated Space. If Tenant fails to pay the Termination Fee to Landlord on or before the Termination Date, then Landlord may deliver written notice of such failure to Tenant, and if Tenant fails to pay the Termination Fee to Landlord within five (5) business days following Tenant’s receipt of such notice from Landlord, then, at Landlord’s option, the Termination Notice shall be null and void and of no force or effect. As used in this Lease, the “Lease Concessions” shall be equal to the sum of: (A) the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance expended by Landlord in connection with the Terminated Space and not reimbursed by Tenant; and (B) the amount of all real estate commissions paid to Tenant or any broker or brokerage company in connection with the Terminated Space. As used in this Lease, the “Unamortized Value as of the Termination Date” of the applicable Lease Concessions shall be equal to the present value as of the Termination Date of the right to receive an annuity of monthly payments equal to the applicable “Monthly Amortization Amount,” as determined below, on the first day of each month for the remaining Lease Term following the Termination Date, such present value to be determined using a discount factor equal to the future value interest factor described in item (2), below. As used in this Lease, the “Monthly Amortization Amount” shall be determined in connection with the calculation of a missing component of an annuity, using: (1) the amount of the applicable Lease Concessions as the present value of such annuity; (2) the “Interest Rate,” as that term is defined in Article 25 of this Lease, below, as the future value interest factor; (3) the number of months in the Lease Term as the number of monthly payments of the annuity; and (4) the Monthly Amortization Amount (the missing component) as the monthly payment amount under the annuity.
2.4.2 Termination of Lease. Provided that Tenant timely elects to terminate this Lease with respect to the Terminated Space in accordance with Section 2.4.1, above, this Lease shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect with respect to the Terminated Space, and Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved of their respective obligations under this Lease, as of the Termination Date, with respect to the Terminated Space, except with
000 XXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX | ||||
-10- | [Yelp Inc.] |
respect to those obligations set forth in this Lease which specifically survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, including, without limitation, the payment by Tenant of all amounts owed by Tenant under this Lease. The termination right contained in this Section 2.4 shall be personal to the Original Tenant and any Permitted Transferee, and may only be exercised by Original Tenant or a Permitted Transferee (and not by any other assignee, sublessee or Transferee) if Original Tenant or Permitted Transferee, as the case may be, occupies the entire Premises.
2.4.3 No Tenant Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.4, Tenant shall have no right to exercise the termination right set forth in this Section 2.4 if (i) an Option Nullification Default has occurred under this Lease and remains uncured as of the date of Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of the Termination Notice or, at Landlord’s option, at any time prior to the Termination Date, or (ii)Tenant has exercised its right to extend the Lease pursuant to Section 2.2, above. If an Option Nullification Default occurs under this Lease following Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of the Termination Notice but prior to the Termination Date, then, at Landlord’s option, the Termination Notice shall be null and void and of no further force or effect.
2.5 Late Delivery of Premises. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable, good faith efforts to cause the “TI Commencement Delivery Date,” as that term is defined in Section 1.2.3 of the Tenant Work Letter, to occur on or before March 1, 2013. In the event (i) Landlord is unable to cause the TI Commencement Delivery Date to occur on or before June 1, 2013, (ii) as a result of such failure, and despite Tenant’s good faith commercially reasonable efforts to manage the construction of the Tenant Improvements as quickly and efficiently as reasonably possible, Landlord is unable to substantially complete the Tenant Improvements on or before October 1, 2013, (iii) as a result of such failure, Tenant is forced to holdover in the space under Tenant’s existing lease at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx (the “Existing Lease”), and (iv) provided that Tenant reasonably cooperates with Landlord and, in good faith, diligently pursues all commercially reasonable actions required of Tenant in order to avoid any such holdover, then (1) the Lease Commencement Date and Lease Expiration Date shall each be delayed by one day for each day that occurs after October 1, 2013 and before the date Landlord delivers the Premises to Tenant, and (2) Landlord shall pay to Tenant the increase in monthly “Base Rent” actually paid by Tenant under the Existing Lease after October 1, 2013, over the amount of monthly Base Rent paid by Tenant immediately preceding October 1, 2013, for the period commencing on October 1, 2013, and continuing through the earlier to occur of (A) the substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements, (B) the date which is reasonably determined by Landlord to be the date that the Tenant Improvements should have been substantially completed assuming Tenant’s “Project Manager,” as that term is defined in Section 4.1.2 of the Tenant Work Letter, had used reasonable due diligence in connection therewith, (C) the date that occurs that number of days after October 1, 2013 as is equal to the number of days after June 1, 2013 that Landlord delivered the Premises to Tenant, and (D) the date Tenant ceases any such holdover (as applicable, the “Holdover Period”). Landlord shall make such payments to Tenant on a monthly basis. Tenant hereby represents to Landlord that, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Existing Lease, which document shall govern the rent paid by Tenant for the 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx premises during any such Holdover Period, the Base Rent to be paid by Tenant for the 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx premises during any such Holdover Period shall be equal to (x) without the Existing Lease’s landlord’s consent, a monthly rate equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the Base Rent in effect immediately prior to the Holdover Period, or (y) with the Existing Lease’s landlord’s consent, a monthly rate equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%), of the greater of (a) the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period immediately prior to the Holdover Period, or (b) the fair market rental rate for the 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx premises as of the commencement of such Holdover Period. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 2.5 to the contrary, in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.5 in an amount exceeding the incremental increase in Base Rent during any such Holdover Period, as determined pursuant to the foregoing formula (the “Holdover Cap”); provided, however, Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably cooperate in good faith in connection with the determination of the fair market rental rate for the 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx premises during the Holdover Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord delivers written notice to Tenant on or before May 1, 2013 informing Tenant that Landlord will be unable to deliver the Premises to Tenant on or before June 1, 2013, and such notice sets forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the date upon which Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant (the period between October 1, 2013 and the reasonably estimated delivery date to be known as the “Estimated Holdover Period”), then Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts (which efforts will not include the requirement that Tenant pay any sums, other than the applicable holdover amount, to the 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx) to negotiate an extension of the term of the Existing Lease and shall use its good faith efforts to minimize the amount of any increase in rent paid by Tenant during any such Estimated Holdover Period; including, without limitation, obtaining the consent of the landlord under the Existing Lease to such holdover by Tenant.

Tenant shall pay, without prior notice or demand, to Landlord or Landlord’s agent at the management office of the Project, or, at Landlord’s option, at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, by a check for currency which, at the time of payment, is legal tender for private or public debts in the United States of America or by Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) or other means mutually agreed upon by the parties, base rent (“Base Rent”) as set forth in Section 4 of the Summary, payable in equal monthly installments as set forth in Section 4 of the Summary in advance on or before the first day of each and every calendar month during the Lease Term, without any setoff or deduction whatsoever. The Base Rent for the first full month of the Lease Term which occurs after the expiration of any free rent period shall be paid at the time of Tenant’s execution of this Lease. If any Rent payment date (including the Lease Commencement Date) falls on a day of the month other than the first day of such month or if any payment of Rent is for a period which is shorter than one month, the Rent for any fractional month shall accrue on a daily basis for the period from the date such payment is due to the end of such calendar month or to the end of the Lease Term at a rate per day which is equal to 1/365 of the applicable annual Rent. All other payments or adjustments required to be made under the terms of this Lease that require proration on a time basis shall be prorated on the same basis.
3.2 Abated Base Rent. Subject to the terms of Section 2.5 of the Tenant Work Letter, and provided that an Option Nullification Default has not occurred under this Lease, then during the first (1st), second (2nd), third (3rd), fourth (4th), thirteenth (13th) and thirty-seventh (37th) full calendar months of the Lease Term (the “Rent Abatement Period”), Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any Base Rent or Direct Expenses otherwise attributable to the Premises (the “Rent Abatement”). Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing Rent Abatement has been granted to Tenant as additional consideration for entering into this Lease, and for agreeing to pay the rental and performing the terms and conditions otherwise required under this Lease. If an Option Nullification Default shall occur under this Lease, or if this Lease is terminated for any reason other than Landlord’s breach of this Lease, then the dollar amount of the unapplied portion of the Rent Abatement as of the date of such default or termination, as the case may be, shall be converted to a credit to be applied to the Base Rent applicable at the end of the Lease Term and Tenant shall immediately be obligated to begin paying Base Rent and Direct Expenses for the Premises in full.

(o) costs incurred to comply with laws relating to the removal of hazardous material (as defined under applicable law) which was in existence in the Building or on the Project prior to the Lease Commencement Date, and was of such a nature that a federal, State or municipal governmental authority, if it had then had knowledge of the presence of such hazardous material, in the state, and under the conditions that it then existed in the Building or on the Project, would have then required the removal of such hazardous material or other remedial or containment action with respect thereto; and costs incurred to remove, remedy, contain, or treat hazardous material, which hazardous material is brought into the Building or onto the Project after the date hereof by Landlord or any other tenant of the Project and is of such a nature, at that time, that a federal, State or municipal governmental authority, if it had then had knowledge of the presence of such hazardous material, in the state, and under the conditions, that it then exists in the Building or on the Project, would have then required the removal of such hazardous material or other remedial or containment action with respect thereto;

4.2.5 Taxes.
4.2.5.1 “Tax Expenses” shall mean all federal, state, county, or local governmental or municipal taxes, fees, charges or other impositions of every kind and nature, whether general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, (including, without limitation, real estate taxes, general and special assessments, transit taxes, leasehold taxes or taxes based upon the receipt of rent, including gross receipts or sales taxes applicable to the receipt of rent, unless required to be paid by Tenant, personal property taxes imposed upon the fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems and equipment, appurtenances, furniture and other personal property used in connection with the Project, or any portion thereof), which shall be paid or accrued during any Expense Year (without regard to any different fiscal year used by such governmental or municipal authority) because of or in connection with the ownership, leasing and operation of the Project, or any portion thereof.
4.2.5.2 Tax Expenses shall include, without limitation: (i) Any tax on the rent, right to rent or other income from the Project, or any portion thereof, or as against the business of leasing the Project, or any portion thereof; (ii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in addition to, or in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition of real property tax, it being acknowledged by Tenant and Landlord that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June 1978 election (“Proposition 13”) and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants, and, in further recognition of the decrease in the level and quality of governmental services and amenities as a result of Proposition 13, Tax Expenses shall also include any governmental or private assessments or the Project’s contribution towards a governmental or private cost-sharing agreement for the purpose of augmenting or improving the quality of services and amenities normally provided by governmental agencies; (iii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the Rent payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any business or gross income tax or excise tax with respect to the receipt of such rent, or upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof; and (iv) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge, upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party, creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.
4.2.5.3 If Tax Expenses for any period during the Lease Term or any extension thereof are increased after payment thereof for any reason, including, without limitation, error or reassessment by applicable governmental or municipal authorities, Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand Tenant’s Share of any such increased Tax Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.2.8 (except as set forth in Section 4.2.8.1, above), there shall be excluded from Tax Expenses (i) all excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal and state income taxes, and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlord’s general or net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Project), (ii) any items included as Operating Expenses, (iii) any items paid by Tenant under Section 4.5 of this Lease and (iv) tax penalties incurred as a result of Landlord’s failure to make payments and/or to file any tax or informational returns when due.
4.2.5.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, the amount of Tax Expenses for the Base Year and any Expense Year shall be calculated without taking into account any decreases in real estate taxes obtained in connection with Proposition 8, and, therefore, the Tax Expenses in the Base Year and/or an Expense Year may be greater than those actually incurred by Landlord, but shall, nonetheless, be the Tax Expenses due under this Lease; provided that (i) any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in securing any Proposition 8 reduction shall not be deducted from Tax Expenses nor included in Direct Expenses for purposes of this Lease, and (ii) tax refunds under Proposition 8 shall not be deducted from Tax Expenses nor refunded to Tenant, but rather shall be the sole property of Landlord. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the preceding sentence is not intended to in any way affect (A) the inclusion in Tax Expenses of the statutory two percent (2.0%) annual increase in Tax Expenses (as such statutory increase may be modified by subsequent legislation), or (B) the inclusion or exclusion of Tax Expenses pursuant to the terms of Proposition 13. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, only Landlord may institute proceedings to reduce Tax Expenses and the filing of any such proceeding by Tenant without Landlord’s consent shall
000 XXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX | ||||
-16- | [Yelp Inc.] |
constitute an event of default by Tenant under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be obligated to file any application or institute any proceeding seeking a reduction in Tax Expenses. The amount of Tax Expenses for the Base Year attributable to the valuation of the Project, inclusive of tenant improvements, shall be known as the “Base Taxes”. If in any comparison year subsequent to the Base Year, the amount of Tax Expenses decreases below the amount of Base Taxes, then for purposes of all subsequent comparison years, including the comparison year in which such decrease in Tax Expenses occurred, the Base Taxes, and therefore the Base Year, shall be decreased by an amount equal to the decrease in Tax Expenses.
4.2.6 “Tenant’s Share” shall mean the percentage set forth in Section 6 of the Summary.
4.3 Cost Pool. Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to equitably allocate some or all of the Direct Expenses for the Project among different portions or occupants of the Project (the “Cost Pools”), in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. Such Cost Pools may include, but shall not be limited to, the office space tenants of a building of the Project or of the Project, and the retail space tenants of a building of the Project or of the Project. The Direct Expenses within each such Cost Pool shall be allocated and charged to the tenants within such Cost Pool in an equitable manner.
4.4 Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent. If for any Expense Year ending or commencing within the Lease Term, Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for such Expense Year exceeds Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses applicable to the Base Year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.4.1, below, and as Additional Rent, an amount equal to the excess (the “Excess”).
4.4.1 Statement of Actual Direct Expenses and Payment by Tenant. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Expense Year or as soon after such one hundred twenty (120) day period as reasonably practicable, Landlord shall give to Tenant a statement (the “Statement”) which shall state the Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and which shall indicate the amount of the Excess. Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year commencing or ending during the Lease Term, if an Excess is present, Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefor, the full amount of the Excess for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as “Estimated Excess,” as that term is defined in Section 4.4.2, below, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Excess than the actual Excess, Tenant shall receive a credit in the amount of Tenant’s overpayment against Rent next due under this Lease. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord or Tenant from enforcing its rights under this Article 4. Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, if an Excess is present, Tenant shall pay to Landlord such amount within thirty (30) days after such determination, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Excess than the actual Excess, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days, deliver a check payable to Tenant in the amount of the overpayment. The provisions of this Section 4.4.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.
4.4.2 Statement of Estimated Direct Expenses. In addition, prior to March 31st of each calendar year or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practical, Landlord shall give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the “Estimate Statement”) which shall set forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate (the “Estimate”) of what the total amount of Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year shall be and the estimated excess (the “Estimated Excess”) as calculated by comparing the Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, which shall be based upon the Estimate, to the amount of Direct Expenses for the Base Year. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Excess under this Article 4, nor shall Landlord be prohibited from revising any Estimate Statement or Estimated Excess theretofore delivered to the extent necessary. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, a fraction of the Estimated Excess for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.4.2). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year, including the month of such payment, and twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished (which Landlord shall have the right to deliver to Tenant at any time), Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Excess set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.

4.5 Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible.
4.5.1 Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay ten (10) business days before delinquency, taxes levied against Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property located in or about the Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such equipment, furniture, fixtures or any other personal property and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment, as the case may be.
4.5.2 If the tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed and/or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which tenant improvements conforming to Landlord’s “building standard” in other space in the Building are assessed, then the Tax Expenses levied against Landlord or the property by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.5.1, above.
4.5.3 Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, 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 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 (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.
4.6 Landlord’s Books and Records. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if, within one (1) year after receipt of a Statement by Tenant, Tenant (i) reasonably disputes any amounts set forth in any Statement described above in this Article 4, (ii) Tenant has paid such disputed amounts to Landlord (although Tenant may pay such amounts “under protest”), and (iii) an Option Nullification Default has not occurred and be continuing, then Tenant shall have the right to cause Landlord’s general ledger of accounts with respect to such disputed Statement only to be audited by a nationally recognized firm of certified public accountants reasonably approved by Landlord, at no cost or expense to Landlord, which has prior experience in the review of financial statements and which shall not have provided primary accounting services to Tenant or any other tenant in the Project within the immediately preceding three (3) year period and which shall not be retained by Tenant on a contingency fee basis; provided, however, Tenant shall not have the right to perform any such audit more than one (1) time for any Expense Year during the Lease Term. Any audit conducted by or on behalf of Tenant shall be completed in a diligent manner and timely manner (but in any event within two (2) months after Tenant initially disputes the applicable Statement) and shall be performed at Landlord’s office during Landlord’s normal business hours and in a manner so as to minimize interference with Landlord’s business operations. Landlord shall have no obligation to make photocopies of any of Landlord’s ledgers, invoices or other items; provided, however, Tenant may, within the Building, make copies of such ledgers, invoices or other items; provided further, however, if Landlord is unable to make a copier machine available to Tenant for such copies, then Tenant may take such ledgers, invoices or other items to the Premises in order to make such copies. Tenant agrees to keep, and to cause Tenant’s accountant and its employees to keep, all information revealed by any audit of Landlord’s books and records strictly confidential and not to disclose any such information or permit any such information to be disclosed to anyone other than Landlord, unless compelled to do so by a court of law, and Tenant and its accountant and their employees shall sign a confidentiality agreement reflecting such confidentiality. Tenant’s audit shall be limited to an on-site review of Landlord’s general ledger of accounts and supporting documentation. If after such audit, Landlord and Tenant dispute the results of such audit, at Tenant’s request, a certified public accounting firm selected by Landlord, and reasonably approved by Tenant, shall, at Tenant’s cost, conduct an audit of the relevant Direct Expenses. The amounts payable under this Section 4.6 by Landlord to Tenant or by Tenant to Landlord, as the case may be, will be appropriately adjusted on the basis of such audit. If such audit discloses an overstatement of Direct Expenses in excess of four percent (4%) for such Expense Year, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all of the overcharges plus the reasonable cost of both audits within thirty (30) days after completion of such audit; otherwise the cost of such audits shall be borne by Tenant. Tenant agrees that this Section 4.6 shall be the sole method to be used by Tenant to dispute the amount of any Direct Expenses payable by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and Tenant hereby waives any other rights at law or in equity relating thereto.

meter measured all of Tenant’s electrical consumption and demand for the Premises. Bills for such submetered electricity shall be rendered at such time or times as Landlord may elect, but not more than once a month, and shall be payable by Tenant as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days of rendition thereof. The amount to be charged to Tenant by Landlord per KW of electricity consumed in the Premises shall be 103% of the actual cost at which Landlord from time to time purchases such KW of electricity for the same period from the utility company calculated as set below.

Tenant shall cooperate fully with Landlord at all times and abide by all regulations and requirements that Landlord may reasonably prescribe (provided that Landlord shall not prescribe any such regulations and requirements intended to discriminate against Tenant vis-à-vis the other tenants of the Building) for the proper functioning and protection of the HVAC, electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems.
6.2 Overstandard Tenant Use. Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, use heat-generating machines, machines other than normal fractional horsepower office machines, or equipment or lighting other than Building standard lights in the Premises, which may affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the air conditioning system or increase the water normally furnished for the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1 of this Lease. If Tenant uses water, electricity, heat or air conditioning in excess of that supplied by Landlord pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after receipt of invoice, the actual cost of such excess consumption, the cost of the installation, operation, and maintenance of equipment which is installed in order to supply such excess consumption, and the cost of the increased wear and tear on existing equipment caused by such excess consumption; and Landlord may install devices to separately meter any increased use and in such event Tenant shall pay the increased cost directly to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after written demand, at the rates charged by the public utility company furnishing the same, including the cost of installing, testing and maintaining of such additional metering devices. Tenant’s use of electricity shall never exceed the capacity of the feeders to the Project or the risers or wiring installation. If Tenant desires to use heat, ventilation or air conditioning during hours other than those for which Landlord is obligated to supply such utilities pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1 of this Lease, Tenant shall give Landlord at least four (4) hours prior notice of Tenant’s desired use in order to supply such utilities, and Landlord shall supply such utilities to Tenant at such hourly cost per zone to Tenant (which shall be treated as Additional Rent) as Landlord shall from time to time establish. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of invoice, pay to Landlord, Landlord’s standard charge for any services provided to Tenant which Landlord is not specifically obligated to provide to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
6.3 Interruption of Use. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for damages, by abatement of Rent (except as specifically set forth in Section 19.5.2 of this Lease) or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service (including telephone and telecommunication services), or for any diminution in the quality or quantity thereof, when such failure or delay or diminution is occasioned, in whole or in part, by breakage, repairs, replacements, or improvements, by any strike, lockout or other labor trouble, by inability to secure electricity, gas, water, or other fuel at the Building or Project after reasonable effort to do so, by any riot or other dangerous condition, emergency, accident or casualty whatsoever, by act or default of Tenant or other parties, or by any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control; and such failures or delays or diminution shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from paying Rent (except as specifically set forth in Section 19.5.2 of this Lease) or performing any of its obligations under this Lease. Furthermore, Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for injury to, or interference with, Tenant’s business, including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to a failure to furnish any of the services or utilities as set forth in this Article 6.
ARTICLE 7
REPAIRS
7.1 In General. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense, keep the Premises, including all improvements, fixtures, furnishings, and systems and equipment therein (including, without limitation, plumbing fixtures and equipment such as dishwashers, garbage disposals, and insta-hot dispensers), and the floor coverings on the floors upon which the Premises are located, in good order, repair and condition at all times during the Lease Term. In addition, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense, but under the supervision and subject to the reasonable prior approval of Landlord, and within any reasonable period of time specified by Landlord, promptly and adequately repair all damage to the Premises which is not Landlord’s responsibility under this Lease and replace or repair all damaged, broken, or worn fixtures and appurtenances, except for damage caused by ordinary wear and tear or beyond the reasonable control of Tenant; provided however, that, if Tenant fails to make such repairs after receipt of written notice from Landlord, then Landlord, after an additional three (3) business days written notice to Tenant, may, but need not, make such repairs and replacements, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof, including a percentage of the cost thereof (to be uniformly established for the Building and/or the Project) sufficient to reimburse Landlord for all reasonable overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs or
000 XXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX | ||||
-22- | [Yelp Inc.] |
expenses arising from Landlord’s involvement with such repairs and replacements within thirty (30) days after being billed for same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be responsible for repairs to the exterior walls, foundation and roof of the Building, the structural portions of the floors of the Building, and the base building systems and equipment of the Building, except to the extent that such repairs are required due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant; provided, however, that if such repairs are due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, Landlord shall nevertheless make such repairs at Tenant’s expense, or, if covered by Landlord’s insurance, Tenant shall only be obligated to pay any deductible in connection therewith. Landlord may, but shall not be required to, enter the Premises at all reasonable times to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the Project or to any equipment located in the Project as Landlord shall desire or deem necessary or as Landlord may be required to do by governmental or quasi-governmental authority or court order or decree. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights under and benefits of subsection 1 of Section 1932 and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code or under any similar law, statute, or ordinance now or hereafter in effect. The foregoing notwithstanding, Landlord may not install any pipes ducts, utility lines, conduits or equipment (herein collectively called “Utility Lines”) in the Premises unless all of the following conditions be met:
7.1.1 the same are required by “Applicable Law,” as that term is defined in Article 24 of this lease; and
7.1.2 such Utility Lines are located completely beneath the floor or completely within the walls of the Premises or completely above the Tenant’s hung ceiling, provided, however, that: (i) the same may not displace or interfere with the location or placement of Tenant’s Utility Lines serving the Premises, unless Landlord agree to relocate Tenant’s Utility Line at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, and (ii) if there is no finished ceiling, then such area will not be available to Landlord for this purpose and Landlord will be restricted to the sub-floor or interior walls as hereinbefore described;
7.1.3 such work is not performed during Business Hours (except in emergencies) unless Tenant, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, agrees otherwise; and
7.1.4 Landlord will be liable for all loss, damage, or injury to persons or property resulting therefrom and will indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from all claims, losses, costs, expenses and liability, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising therefrom.
7.2 Tenant’s Right to Make Repairs. Notwithstanding any of the terms set forth in this Lease to the contrary, if Tenant provides notice (or oral notice in the event of an Emergency) to Landlord of an event or circumstance which requires the action of Landlord with respect to repair and/or maintenance required on any full floor of the Building leased by Tenant, which event or circumstance materially and adversely affects the conduct of Tenant’s business from the Premises, and Landlord fails to commence corrective action within a reasonable period of time, given the circumstances, after the receipt of such notice, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, then Tenant may proceed to take the required action upon delivery of an additional ten (10) business days’ notice to Landlord specifying that Tenant is taking such required action. The foregoing notwithstanding, Tenant shall not be required to give Landlord any prior notice (but shall notify Landlord as soon as reasonable under the circumstances) in the event of an Emergency, and shall be permitted to immediately take corrective action. If such action was required under the terms of this Lease to be taken by Landlord and (x) was not commenced by Landlord within such ten (10) business day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion, or (y) was an Emergency, then Tenant shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement by Landlord of Tenant’s reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses in taking such action. In the event Tenant takes such action, Tenant shall use only those contractors used by Landlord in the Building for work unless such contractors are unwilling or unable to perform, or timely perform, such work, in which event Tenant may utilize the services of any other qualified contractor which normally and regularly performs similar work in Comparable Buildings. Following completion of any work taken by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.2, Tenant shall deliver a detailed invoice of the work completed, the materials used and the costs relating thereto. If Landlord does not deliver a detailed written objection to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Tenant, then Tenant shall be entitled to deduct from Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease, the amount set forth in such invoice. If, however, Landlord delivers to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s invoice, a written objection to the payment of such invoice, setting forth with reasonable particularity Landlord’s reasons for its claim that such action did not have to be taken by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease or that the charges are excessive (in which case Landlord shall pay the amount it contends would not have been excessive), then Tenant shall not then be
000 XXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX | ||||
-23- | [Yelp Inc.] |
entitled to such deduction from Rent. On the other hand, Tenant may proceed to claim a default by Landlord or, if elected by either Landlord or Tenant, the matter shall proceed to resolution by judicial reference pursuant to Section 29.22 of this Lease. If Tenant prevails in the judicial reference, the amount of the award (which shall include interest at the Interest Rate from the time of each expenditure by Tenant until the date Tenant receives such amount by payment or offset and attorneys’ fees and related costs) may be deducted by Tenant from the Rent next due and owing under this Lease. For purposes of this Section 7.2, an “Emergency” shall mean an event threatening immediate and material danger to people located in the Building or immediate, material damage to the Base Building, Tenant Improvements, or Alterations. In the event that Tenant exercises its right to make repairs pursuant to this Section 7.2 with respect to an event or circumstance that is also an “Abatement Event,” as that term is defined in Section 19.5.2 of this Lease, below, then Tenant’s right to xxxxx rent pursuant to the terms of Section 19.5.2, below, shall cease upon the earlier of (i) the date such right to xxxxx rent ceases pursuant to the terms of Section 19.5.2, and (ii) the date the Abatement Event would have ended had Tenant, following its election to exercise its right to make repairs pursuant to this Section 7.2, diligently pursued the completion of such repairs.
ARTICLE 8
ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS
8.1 Landlord’s Consent to Alterations. Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises or any mechanical, plumbing or HVAC facilities or systems pertaining to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations”) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord, provided it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any Alteration which adversely affects the structural portions or the systems or equipment of the Building, or is visible from the exterior of the Building, or is contrary to Landlord’s LEED Initiatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted to make Alterations following ten (10) business days notice to Landlord, but without Landlord’s prior consent, to the extent that such Alterations do not (i) involve the expenditure of more than $100,000.00 in each instance; (ii) affect the exterior appearance of the Premises or Building, (iii) affect the Building systems or the Building structure, (iv) affect the certificate of occupancy, or its legal equivalent, for the Building, or (v) affect any of Landlord’s LEED Initiatives (the “Cosmetic Alterations”). For purposes of determining the cost of an Alteration, work done in phases or stages shall be considered part of the same Alteration, and any Alteration shall be deemed to include all trades and materials involved in accomplishing a particular result. The construction of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8.
8.2 Manner of Construction. Landlord may impose, as a condition of its consent to any and all Alterations or repairs of the Premises or about the Premises for which consent is required, such requirements as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the requirement that Tenant utilize for such purposes only contractors, subcontractors, materials, mechanics and materialmen reasonably approved by Landlord, the requirement that upon Landlord’s request, subject to the terms of Section 8.5, below, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, remove such Alterations upon the expiration or any early termination of the Lease Term. Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform such repairs in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformance with any and all applicable federal, state, county or municipal laws, rules and regulations and pursuant to a valid building permit, issued by the City of San Francisco, all in conformance with Landlord’s construction rules and regulations; provided, however, that prior to commencing to construct any Alteration, Tenant shall meet with Landlord to discuss Landlord’s design parameters and code compliance issues. In the event Tenant performs any Alterations in the Premises which require or give rise to governmentally required changes to the “Base Building,” as that term is defined below, then Landlord shall, at Tenant’s expense, make such changes to the Base Building. The “Base Building” shall include the structural portions of the Building, and the public restrooms, elevators, exit stairwells and the systems and equipment located in the internal core of the Building on the floor or floors on which the Premises are located. In performing the work of any such Alterations, Tenant shall have the work performed in such manner so as not to obstruct access to the Project or any portion thereof, by any other tenant of the Project, and so as not to obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants in the Project. Tenant shall not use (and upon notice from Landlord shall cease using) contractors, services, workmen, labor, materials or equipment that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, would disturb labor harmony with the workforce or trades engaged in performing other work, labor or services in or about the Building or the Common Areas. In addition to Tenant’s obligations under Article 9 of this Lease, upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant agrees to cause a Notice
000 XXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX | ||||
-24- | [Yelp Inc.] |
of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the County of San Francisco in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, and Tenant shall deliver to the Project construction manager a reproducible copy of the “as built” drawings of the Alterations as well as all permits, approvals and other documents issued by any governmental agency in connection with the Alterations.
8.3 Payment for Improvements. If payment is made by Tenant directly to contractors, Tenant shall (i) comply with Landlord’s requirements for final lien releases and waivers in connection with Tenant’s payment for work to contractors, and (ii) sign Landlord’s standard contractor’s rules and regulations. If Tenant orders any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the cost of such work to compensate Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses arising from Landlord’s involvement with such work. If Tenant does not order any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable, actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with Landlord’s review of such work.
8.4 Construction Insurance. In addition to the requirements of Article 10 of this Lease, in the event that Tenant makes any Alterations, prior to the commencement of such Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence that Tenant carries “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, it being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 10 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof. In addition, if the Tenant under this Lease is not the Original Tenant or a Permitted Transferee, then Landlord may, in its discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee.
8.5 Landlord’s Property. All Alterations, improvements, fixtures, equipment and/or appurtenances which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises, after the initial Tenant Improvements (which initial Tenant Improvements shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter), shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of Landlord, except that Tenant may remove any Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment which Tenant can substantiate to Landlord have not been paid for with any Tenant improvement allowance funds provided to Tenant by Landlord, provided Tenant repairs any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal. Furthermore, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant prior to the end of the Lease Term, or given following any earlier termination of this Lease, require Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to remove any Alterations and/or improvements and/or systems and equipment within the Premises and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal; PROVIDED; HOWEVER, THAT NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, UPON REQUEST BY TENANT AT THE TIME OF TENANT’S REQUEST FOR LANDLORD’S CONSENT TO ANY ALTERATION OR IMPROVEMENT, LANDLORD SHALL NOTIFY TENANT WHETHER THE APPLICABLE ALTERATION OR IMPROVEMENT WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE REMOVED PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 8.5. If Tenant fails to complete any required removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any Alterations and/or improvements and/or systems and equipment in the Premises, Landlord may do so and may charge the cost thereof to Tenant. Tenant hereby protects, defends, indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any liability, cost, obligation, expense or claim of lien in any manner relating to the installation, placement, removal or financing of any such Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises, which obligations of Tenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 9
COVENANT AGAINST LIENS
Tenant shall keep the Project and Premises free from any liens or encumbrances arising out of the work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant, and shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, judgments or costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of same or in connection therewith. Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least twenty (20) days prior to the commencement of any such work on the Premises (or such additional time as may be necessary under applicable laws) to afford Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording appropriate notices of non-responsibility. Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance by bond or otherwise within twenty (20) business days after notice by Landlord, and if Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may remove such lien or encumbrance by bond. The amount so paid shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease payable upon demand, without limitation as to
000 XXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX | ||||
-25- | [Yelp Inc.] |
other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Nothing contained in this Lease shall authorize Tenant to do any act which shall subject Landlord’s title to the Building or Premises to any liens or encumbrances whether claimed by operation of law or express or implied contract. Any claim to a lien or encumbrance upon the Building or Premises arising in connection with any such work or respecting the Premises not performed by or at the request of Landlord shall be null and void, or at Landlord’s option shall attach only against Tenant’s interest in the Premises and shall in all respects be subordinate to Landlord’s title to the Project, Building and Premises.
ARTICLE 10
INSURANCE
10.1 Indemnification. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless Landlord, its partners, subpartners and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and independent contractors (collectively, “Landlord Parties”) from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred (i) in connection with or arising from any cause in, on or about the Premises (including, but not limited to, a slip and fall), (ii) any negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or of any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, or of the contractors, agents, servants, employees, invitees, guests or licensees of Tenant or any such person, in, on or about the Project, or (iii) any breach of the terms of this Lease, either prior to, during, or after to the extent Tenant continues to occupy the Premises) the expiration of the Lease Term, provided that the terms of the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.

Landlord shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless Tenant, its partners, and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and independent contractors (collectively, “Tenant Parties”) from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from (a) the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord in, on or about the Project, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Tenant Parties, or (b) any breach of the terms of this Lease by Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, either party’s agreement to indemnify the other party as set forth in this Section 10.1 shall be ineffective to the extent the matters for which such party agreed to indemnify the other party are covered by insurance required to be carried by the non-indemnifying party pursuant to this Lease. Further, Tenant’s agreement to indemnify Landlord and Landlord’s agreement to indemnify Tenant pursuant to this Section 10.1 are not intended to and shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be carried pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, to the extent such policies cover, or if carried, would have covered the matters, subject to the parties’ respective indemnification obligations; nor shall they supersede any inconsistent agreement of the parties set forth in any other provision of this Lease. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability arising in connection with any event occurring prior to such expiration or termination.
10.2 Tenant’s Compliance With Landlord’s Fire and Casualty Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, comply with all insurance company requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises which are provided to Tenant.

10.3 Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant shall maintain the following coverages in the following amounts.

10.4 Form of Policies. The minimum limits of policies of insurance required of Tenant under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease.

Such insurance shall be maintained with an insurance company or companies and licensed to do business in the State of California. Payment for losses thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord. The cost of all such additional insurance shall also be part of the Operating Expenses.
10.7.3 Blanket and self-insurance. Any or all of Landlord’s insurance may be provided by (i) blanket coverage maintained by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord under its insurance program for its portfolio of properties, provided that (a) such insurance specifically references the Building (which may be satisfied with a “per location” endorsement), and (b) such insurance shall guaranty a minimum limit available for the Building equal to the limits of liability required under this Lease; or (ii) by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord under a program of self-insurance, provided that Landlord maintains (either internally or through a third-party administrator) a self-insurance program that maintains sufficient reserves on its balance sheet committed to its self-insurance program liabilities. In either event, Operating Expenses shall include the portion of the reasonable cost of blanket insurance or self-insurance that is allocated to the Building.

ARTICLE 11
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
11.1 Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty. If the Premises or any Common Areas serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 11, restore the Base Building and such Common Areas. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the Base Building and the Common Areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Building or Project or any other modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord, which are consistent with the character of the Project, provided that access to the Premises and any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially impaired. Upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, upon notice (the “Landlord Repair Notice”) to Tenant from Landlord, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance
000 XXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX | ||||
-28- | [Yelp Inc.] |
proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance required under Section 10.3 of this Lease, and Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the Tenant Improvements and the Original Improvements installed in the Premises and shall return such Tenant Improvements and Original Improvements to their original condition; provided that if the cost of such repair by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant’s insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, the cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord’s commencement of repair of the damage. In the event that Landlord does not deliver the Landlord Repair Notice within sixty (60) days following the date the casualty becomes known to Landlord, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair any injury or damage to the Tenant Improvements and the Original Improvements installed in the Premises and shall return such Tenant Improvements and Original Improvements to their original condition. Whether or not Landlord delivers a Landlord Repair Notice, prior to the commencement of construction, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such improvement work. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or Common Areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy, and the Premises are not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof, then during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy, the Rent shall be abated in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which is unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. In the event that Landlord shall not deliver the Landlord Repair Notice, Tenant’s right to rent abatement pursuant to the preceding sentence shall terminate as of the date which is reasonably determined by Landlord to be the date Tenant should have completed repairs to the Premises assuming Tenant used reasonable due diligence in connection therewith.
11.2 Landlord’s Option to Repair. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises, Building and/or Project, and instead terminate this Lease, by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of discovery of the damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant sixty (60) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building or Project shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, repairs cannot reasonably be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of discovery of the damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Building or Project or ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground lease, as the case may be; (iii) the damage is not fully covered by Landlord’s insurance policies; (iv) the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the then-current Lease Term; or (v) any owner of any other portion of the Project, other than Landlord, does not intend to repair the damage to such portion of the Project; provided, however, that if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord’s termination right as provided above, and the repairs cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after being commenced, Tenant may elect, no earlier than sixty (60) days after the date of the damage and not later than ninety (90) days after the date of such damage, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in the notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given by Tenant.
11.3 Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project, and any statute or regulation of the State of California, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project.
ARTICLE 12
NONWAIVER
No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by either party hereto unless expressly waived in a writing signed thereby. The waiver by either party hereto of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of same or any other term, covenant or condition herein
000 XXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX | ||||
-29- | [Yelp Inc.] |
contained. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent. No acceptance of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to receive the full amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the full amount due. No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the Lease Term or of Tenant’s right of possession hereunder, or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or affect any notice given Tenant prior to the receipt of such monies, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit, or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment.
ARTICLE 13
CONDEMNATION
If the whole or any part of the Premises, Building or Project shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any part of the Premises, Building or Project, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken, or if access to the Premises is substantially impaired, in each case for a period in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. Tenant shall not because of such taking assert any claim against Landlord or the authority for any compensation because of such taking and Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant’s personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and for moving expenses, so long as such claims do not diminish the award available to Landlord, its ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project or its mortgagee, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant. All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Rent shall be proportionately abated. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of The California Code of Civil Procedure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 13, in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and the Additional Rent shall be abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking.
ARTICLE 14
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
14.1 Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment, or other transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or enter into any license or concession agreements or otherwise permit the occupancy or use of the Premises or any part thereof by any persons other than Tenant and its employees and contractors (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as “Transfers” and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “Transferee”). If Tenant desires Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the “Transfer Notice”) shall include (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the “Subject Space”), (iii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, including calculation of the
000 XXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX | ||||
-30- | [Yelp Inc.] |
“Transfer Premium”, as that term is defined in Section 14.3 below, in connection with such Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing executed and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, provided that Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to utilize Landlord’s standard Transfer documents in connection with the documentation of such Transfer, (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, business credit and personal references and history of the proposed Transferee and any other information reasonably required by Landlord which will enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee’s business and proposed use of the Subject Space, and (v) an executed estoppel certificate from Tenant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. Any Transfer made without Landlord’s prior written consent shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease. Whether or not Landlord consents to any proposed Transfer, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable review and processing fees, as well as any reasonable professional fees (including, without limitation, attorneys’, accountants’, architects’, engineers’ and consultants’ fees) incurred by Landlord, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord.
14.2 Landlord’s Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. Without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, the parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply:
14.2.1 The Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building or the Project;
14.2.2 The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;
14.2.3 The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof;
14.2.4 The rent charged by Tenant to such Transferee during the term of such Transfer, calculated using a present value analysis, is less than sixty percent (60%) of the rent being quoted by Landlord at the time of such Transfer for comparable space in the Project for a comparable term, calculated using a present value analysis, and the term of such Transfer, including any option or extension terms, is greater than three (3) years;
14.2.5 The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities to be undertaken in connection with the Transfer on the date consent is requested;
14.2.6 The proposed Transfer would cause a violation of another lease for space in the Project, or would give an occupant of the Project a right to cancel its lease; or
14.2.7 Either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed Transferee, (i) occupies space in the Project at the time of the request for consent, or (ii) is negotiating with Landlord or has negotiated with Landlord during the four (4) month period immediately preceding the date Landlord receives the Transfer Notice, to lease space in the Project, unless Landlord is unable to reasonably accommodate such existing or prospective tenant’s space needs.
If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may have under Section 14.4 of this Lease), Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord’s consent, but not later than the expiration of said six-month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, provided that if there are any changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice (i) such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2, or (ii) which would cause the proposed Transfer to be more favorable to the Transferee than the terms set forth in Tenant’s original Transfer Notice, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to
000 XXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX | ||||
-31- | [Yelp Inc.] |
Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14 (including Landlord’s right of recapture, if any, under Section 14.4 of this Lease). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent under Section 14.2 or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably under this Article 14, their sole remedies shall be a suit for contract damages (other than damages for injury to, or interference with, Tenant’s business including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring) or declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief sought, and Tenant hereby waives all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all applicable laws, on behalf of the proposed Transferee.
14.3 Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any “Transfer Premium,” as that term is defined in this Section 14.3, received by Tenant from such Transferee. “Transfer Premium” shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in connection with the Transfer in excess of the Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the Transfer on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred, after deducting the reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant for (i) any changes, alterations and improvements (including demising costs) to the Premises in connection with the Transfer, (ii) any free base rent reasonably provided to the Transferee in connection with the Transfer (provided that such free rent shall be deducted only to the extent the same is included in the calculation of total consideration payable by such Transferee), and (iii) any brokerage commissions in connection with the Transfer and (iv) legal fees reasonably incurred in connection with the Transfer (collectively, “Tenant’s Subleasing Costs”). “Transfer Premium” shall also include, but not be limited to, key money, bonus money or other cash consideration paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee in connection with such Transfer. The determination of the amount of Landlord’s applicable share of the Transfer Premium shall be made on a monthly basis as rent or other consideration is received by Tenant under the Transfer.
14.4 Landlord’s Option as to Subject Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, in the event Tenant contemplates a Transfer of all or a portion of the Premises, Tenant may give Landlord notice (the “Intention to Transfer Notice”) of such contemplated Transfer (whether or not the contemplated Transferee or the terms of such contemplated Transfer have been determined); provided, however, that Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall have no obligation to deliver an Intention to Transfer Notice hereunder, and Landlord shall have no right to recapture space with respect to, (A) a sublease, which, when combined with any and all space previously subleased by Tenant constitutes less than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises, and which is for less than substantially the remainder of the Lease Term (for purposes hereof, a sublease shall be deemed to be substantially for the remainder of the Lease Term if, assuming all sublease renewal or extension rights are exercised, such sublease shall expire during the final twelve (12) months of the Lease Term or Option Term), or (B) an assignment or sublease pursuant to the terms of Section 14.8, below. The Intention to Transfer Notice shall specify the portion of and amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which Tenant intends to Transfer (the “Contemplated Transfer Space”), the contemplated date of commencement of the Contemplated Transfer (the “Contemplated Effective Date”), and the contemplated length of the term of such contemplated Transfer, and shall specify that such Intention to Transfer Notice is delivered to Landlord pursuant to this Section 14.4 in order to allow Landlord to elect to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space. Thereafter, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Intention to Transfer Notice, to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space. Such recapture shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to such Contemplated Transfer Space as of the Contemplated Effective Date. In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner, to recapture such Contemplated Transfer Space under this Section 14.4, then, subject to the other terms of this Article 14, for a period of nine (9) months (the “Nine Month Period”) commencing on the last day of such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not have any right to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space with respect to any Transfer Notice delivered to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1, above, during the Nine Month Period, provided that any such Transfer is substantially on the terms set forth in the Intention to Transfer Notice, and provided further that any such Transfer shall be subject to the remaining terms of this Article 14. If such a Transfer is not so consummated within the Nine Month Period (or if a Transfer is so consummated, then upon the expiration of the term of any Transfer of such Contemplated Transfer Space consummated within such Nine Month Period), Tenant shall again be required to submit a new Intention to Transfer Notice to Landlord with respect any contemplated Transfer, as provided above in this Section 14.4.

14.5 Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i) the terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (iv) Tenant shall furnish upon Landlord’s request a complete statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant, or Tenant’s chief financial officer, setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant has derived and shall derive from such Transfer, and (v) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from any liability under this Lease, including, without limitation, in connection with the Subject Space. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency, and if understated by more than two percent (2%), Tenant shall pay Landlord’s costs of such audit.
14.6 Additional Transfers. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Transfer” shall also include (i) if Tenant is a partnership, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the partners, or transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of partnership interests, within a twelve (12)-month period, or the dissolution of the partnership without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (ii) if Tenant is a closely held corporation (i.e., whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter), (A) the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant or (B) the sale or other transfer of an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting shares of Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason of gift or death), within a twelve (12)-month period, or (C) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant within a twelve (12)-month period.
14.7 Occurrence of Default. Any Transfer hereunder shall be subordinate and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall be terminated during the term of any Transfer, Landlord shall have the right to: (i) treat such Transfer as cancelled and repossess the Subject Space by any lawful means, or (ii) require that such Transferee attorn to and recognize Landlord as its landlord under any such Transfer. If Tenant shall be in default under this Lease, Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized, as Tenant’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to direct any Transferee to make all payments under or in connection with the Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply towards Tenant’s obligations under this Lease) until such default is cured. Such Transferee shall rely on any representation by Landlord that Tenant is in default hereunder, without any need for confirmation thereof by Tenant. Upon any assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing all obligations and covenants of Tenant thereafter to be performed or observed under this Lease. No collection or acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee shall be deemed a waiver of any provision of this Article 14 or the approval of any Transferee or a release of Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, whether theretofore or thereafter accruing. In no event shall Landlord’s enforcement of any provision of this Lease against any Transferee be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to enforce any term of this Lease against Tenant or any other person. If Tenant’s obligations hereunder have been guaranteed, Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall not be effective unless the guarantor also consents to such Transfer.
14.8 Non-Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, none of (i) an assignment of this Lease to a Transferee of all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of Tenant, (ii) an assignment of this Lease to a Transferee which is either (A) the resulting entity of a merger or consolidation of Tenant with another entity, or (B) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or (iii) an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to an affiliate of Tenant (an entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with, Tenant), (collectively, a “Permitted Transfer”) shall be deemed a Transfer under this Article 14 (and thus shall not be subject to Landlord’s prior consent or recapture rights pursuant to Sections 14.4 or rights to receive any Transfer Premium pursuant to Section 14.3), provided that (1) Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment or sublease at least five (5) business days prior to the effective thereof, and thereafter promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such transfer or transferee, (2) such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease, and (3) in the case of an assignment, such Transferee shall have a tangible net worth computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles sufficient to satisfy the obligations and responsibilities to be undertaken in connection with such assignment. As used

herein, “Permitted Transferee” shall mean an entity to which Tenant’s entire interest under this Lease is assigned (or which succeeds to Tenant’s entire interest under this Lease) in accordance with this Section 14.8. “control,” as used in this Section 14.8, shall mean shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person or entity, whether by the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
ARTICLE 15
SURRENDER OF PREMISES; OWNERSHIP AND
REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES
15.1 Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in writing by Landlord. The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease, whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such delivery Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been properly terminated. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises or terminate any or all such sublessees or subtenancies.
15.2 Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 15, quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in good order and condition, reasonable wear and tear, damage by fire or other casualty and repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted. Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, business and trade fixtures, free-standing cabinet work, movable partitions and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant, as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, require to be removed, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal.
ARTICLE 16
HOLDING OVER
If Tenant holds possession of the Premises after expiration of the term of this Lease with Landlord’s written consent, Tenant will become a tenant from month-to-month upon the terms specified herein, except that Rent will be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Rent in effect immediately prior to such expiration. Such month-to-month tenancy may be terminated by either Landlord or Tenant by giving sixty (60) days written notice of termination to the other. If Tenant holds over without Landlord’s written consent, Tenant shall be a tenant at sufferance. In such event, Tenant shall pay Rent equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the Rent payable during the last month of the Term. If Tenant (a) fails to surrender the Premises within thirty (30) days after either Tenant or Landlord have terminated the month to month tenancy; or (b) if Tenant fails to surrender the Premises within thirty (30) days after receipt of a notice to quit if Tenant is a tenant at sufferance; or (c) if Tenant fails to surrender the Premises within thirty (30) days after the expiration of this Lease whether it be an expiration or an earlier expiration due to default (time being of the essence), Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all losses, costs, liabilities and damages which Landlord may incur by reason thereof, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless against all claims made by any succeeding occupant against Landlord or otherwise arising out of or resulting from the failure of Tenant to timely surrender and vacate the Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Lease.

ARTICLE 17
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
Within ten (10) business days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, which, as submitted by Landlord, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E, attached hereto (or such other form as may be reasonably required by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Project, or any portion thereof), indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain any other information reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagee or prospective mortgagee. Any such certificate may be relied upon by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of all or any portion of the Project. Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes. At any time during the Lease Term, but not more than two (2) times during any calendar year, Landlord may require Tenant to provide Landlord with a current financial statement and financial statements of the two (2) years prior to the current financial statement year. Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, if such is the normal practice of Tenant, shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant. Failure of Tenant to timely execute, acknowledge and deliver such estoppel certificate or other instruments shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises and an acknowledgment by Tenant that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (i) stock in the entity which constitutes Tenant under this Lease (as opposed to an entity that “controls” Tenant or is otherwise an “affiliate” of Tenant, as those terms are defined in Section 14.8 of this Lease) is publicly traded on a national stock exchange, and (ii) Tenant has it own, separate and distinct 10K and 10Q filing requirements (as opposed joint or cumulative filings with an entity that controls Tenant or with entities which are otherwise Affiliates of Tenant), then Tenant’s obligation to provide Landlord with a copy of its most recent current financial statement shall be deemed satisfied.
ARTICLE 18
SUBORDINATION
This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Building or Project and to the lien of any mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrances now or hereafter in force against the Building or Project or any part thereof, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds, unless the holders of such mortgages, trust deeds or other encumbrances, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases, require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto (collectively, the “Superior Holders”). Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed in lieu thereof (or if any ground lease is terminated), to attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the lienholder or purchaser or any successors thereto upon any such foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof (or to the ground lessor), if so requested to do so by such purchaser or lienholder or ground lessor, and to recognize such purchaser or lienholder or ground lessor as the lessor under this Lease, provided such lienholder or purchaser or ground lessor shall agree to accept this Lease and not disturb Tenant’s occupancy, so long as Tenant timely pays the rent and observes and performs the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be observed and performed by Tenant. Landlord’s interest herein may be assigned as security at any time to any lienholder. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of request by Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or underlying leases. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale. Concurrently with the full execution and delivery of this Lease by Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a subordination non-disturbance and attornment agreement (an “SNDAA”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H, from any and all Superior Holders existing as of the date of this Lease.

DEFAULTS; REMEDIES
19.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default of this Lease by Tenant:

19.1.2 Except where a specific time period is otherwise set forth for Tenant’s performance in this Lease, in which event the failure to perform by Tenant within such time period shall be a default by Tenant under this Section 19.1.2, any failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure such default; or
19.1.3 Abandonment of all or a substantial portion of the Premises by Tenant; or
19.1.4 The failure by Tenant to observe or perform according to the provisions of Articles 5, 14, 17 or 18 of this Lease where such failure continues for more than five (5) business days after notice from Landlord; or
19.1.5 Tenant’s failure to occupy the Premises within thirty (30) business days after the Lease Commencement Date.
The notice periods provided herein are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice periods provided by law.

19.2.1 Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:
(i) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus
(ii) The worth at the time of 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
(iii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(iv) 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, specifically including but not limited to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; and

(v) At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.
The term “rent” as used in this Section 19.2 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others. As used in Sections 19.2.1(i) and (ii), above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate set forth in Article 25 of this Lease, but in no case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law. As used in Section 19.2.1(iii) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be 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%).
19.2.2 Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.
19.2.3 Landlord shall at all times have the rights and remedies (which shall be cumulative with each other and cumulative and in addition to those rights and remedies available under Sections 19.2.1 and 19.2.2, above, or any law or other provision of this Lease), without prior demand or notice except as required by applicable law, to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of any provision hereof.
19.3 Subleases of Tenant. Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, as set forth in this Article 19, Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, succeed to Tenant’s interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements. In the event of Landlord’s election to succeed to Tenant’s interest in any such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.
19.4 Efforts to Relet. No re-entry or repossession, repairs, maintenance, changes, alterations and additions, reletting, appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord’s interests hereunder, or any other action or omission by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, or to accept a surrender of the Premises, nor shall same operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, unless express written notice of such intention is sent by Landlord to Tenant. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives any right otherwise available under any law to redeem or reinstate this Lease.
19.5 Landlord Default.
19.5.1 General. Landlord shall not be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord’s failure to perform; provided, however, if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease if it shall commence such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursue the same to completion. Upon any such default by Landlord under this Lease, Tenant may, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease to the contrary, exercise any of its rights provided at law or in equity.
19.5.2 Abatement of Rent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 19.5.1 of this Lease, In the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, as a result of (i) any repair, maintenance or alteration performed by Landlord, or which Landlord failed to perform, after the Lease Commencement Date and required by this Lease, which substantially interferes with Tenant’s use of the Premises, or (ii) any failure to provide services, utilities or access to the Premises as required by this Lease (either such set of circumstances as set forth in items (i) or (ii), above, to be known as an “Abatement Event”), then Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such Abatement Event, and if such Abatement Event continues for five (5) consecutive business days after Landlord’s receipt of any such notice (the “Eligibility Period”) and either (A) Landlord does not diligently commence and pursue to completion the remedy of such Abatement Event or (B) Landlord receives proceeds from its
000 XXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX | ||||
-37- | [Yelp Inc.] |
rental interruption insurance which covers such Abatement Event, then the Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses, and Tenant’s obligation to pay for parking (to the extent not utilized by Tenant) 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 for the normal conduct of Tenant’s business, the Premises or a portion thereof (but subject to the terms of Section 7.2, if applicable), 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; provided, however, in the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, a portion of the Premises for a period of time in excess of the Eligibility Period and the remaining portion of the Premises is not sufficient to allow Tenant to effectively conduct its business therein, and if Tenant does not conduct its business from such remaining portion, then for such time after expiration of the Eligibility Period during which Tenant is so prevented from effectively conducting its business therein, the Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for the entire Premises and Tenant’s obligation to pay for parking shall be abated for such time as Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises. If, however, Tenant reoccupies any portion of the Premises during such period, the Rent allocable to such reoccupied portion, based on the proportion that the rentable area of such reoccupied portion of the Premises bears to the total rentable area of the Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from the date Tenant reoccupies such portion of the Premises. To the extent an Abatement Event is caused by an event covered by Articles 11 or 13 of this Lease, then Tenant’s right to xxxxx rent shall be governed by the terms of such Article 11 or 13, as applicable, and the Eligibility Period shall not be applicable thereto. Such right to xxxxx Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy for rent abatement at law or in equity for an Abatement Event. Except as provided in this Section 19.5.2, nothing contained herein shall be interpreted to mean that Tenant is excused from paying Rent due hereunder.
ARTICLE 20
COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT
Landlord covenants that Tenant, on paying the Rent, charges for services and other payments herein reserved and on keeping, observing and performing all the other terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed, shall, during the Lease Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises subject to the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements hereof without interference by any persons lawfully claiming by or through Landlord. The foregoing covenant is in lieu of any other covenant express or implied.
ARTICLE 21
LETTER OF CREDIT
21.1 Delivery of Letter of Credit. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, no later than May 18, 2012 (or such other later date as may be agreed upon by the parties in writing) , an unconditional, clean, irrevocable letter of credit (the “L-C”) in the amount set forth in Section 21.3 below (the “L-C Amount”), which L-C shall be issued by a money-center, solvent and nationally recognized bank (a bank which accepts deposits, maintains accounts, has a Northern California office which will negotiate a letter of credit, and whose deposits are insured by the FDIC) reasonably acceptable to Landlord (such approved, issuing bank being referred to herein as the “Bank”), which Bank must have a short term Fitch Rating which is not less than “F1”, and a long term Fitch Rating which is not less than “A”(or in the event such Fitch Ratings are no longer available, a comparable rating from Standard and Poor’s Professional Rating Service or Xxxxx’x Professional Rating Service) (collectively, the “Bank’s Credit Rating Threshold”), and which L-C shall be in the form of Exhibit G, attached hereto. Tenant shall pay all expenses, points and/or fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining the L-C. The L-C shall (i) be “callable” at sight, irrevocable and unconditional, (ii) be maintained in effect, whether through renewal or extension, for the period commencing on the date of this Lease and continuing until the date (the “L-C Expiration Date”) that is no less than one hundred twenty (120) days after the expiration of the Lease Term as the same may be extended, and Tenant shall deliver a new L-C or certificate of renewal or extension to Landlord at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the L-C then held by Landlord, without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord, (iii) be fully assignable by Landlord, its successors and assigns, (iv) permit partial draws and multiple presentations and drawings, and (v) be otherwise subject to the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits (1993-Rev), International Chamber of Commerce Publication #500, or the International Standby Practices-ISP 98, International Chamber of Commerce Publication #590. Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right to
000 XXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX | ||||
-38- | [Yelp Inc.] |
draw down an amount up to the face amount of the L-C if any of the following shall have occurred or be applicable: (A) such amount is due to Landlord under the terms and conditions of this Lease, or (B) Tenant has filed a voluntary petition under the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or any state bankruptcy code (collectively, “Bankruptcy Code”), or (C) an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, or (D) the Lease has been rejected, or is deemed rejected, under Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, following the filing of a voluntary petition by Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, or the filing of an involuntary petition against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, or (E) the Bank has notified Landlord that the L-C will not be renewed or extended through the L-C Expiration Date, or (F) Tenant is placed into receivership or conservatorship, or becomes subject to similar proceedings under Federal or State law, or (G) Tenant executes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (H) if (1) any of the Bank’s Fitch Ratings (or other comparable ratings to the extent the Fitch Ratings are no longer available) have been reduced below the Bank’s Credit Rating Threshold, or (2) there is otherwise a material adverse change in the financial condition of the Bank, and Tenant has failed to provide Landlord with a replacement letter of credit, conforming in all respects to the requirements of this Article 21 (including, but not limited to, the requirements placed on the issuing Bank more particularly set forth in this Section 21.1 above), in the amount of the applicable L-C Amount, within ten (10) business following Landlord’s written demand therefor (with no other notice or cure or grace period being applicable thereto, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary) (each of the foregoing being an “L-C Draw Event”). The L-C shall be honored by the Bank regardless of whether Tenant disputes Landlord’s right to draw upon the L-C. In addition, in the event the Bank is placed into receivership or conservatorship by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any successor or similar entity, then, effective as of the date such receivership or conservatorship occurs, said L-C shall be deemed to fail to meet the requirements of this Article 21, and, within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s notice to Tenant of such receivership or conservatorship (the “L-C FDIC Replacement Notice”), Tenant shall (1) replace such L-C with a substitute letter of credit from a different issuer (which issuer shall meet or exceed the Bank’s Credit Rating Threshold and shall otherwise be acceptable to Landlord in its reasonable discretion) and that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Article 21, or (2) in the event Tenant demonstrates to Landlord that Tenant is reasonably unable to obtain a substitute L-C from a different issuer reasonably acceptable to Landlord and that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Article 21 within the foregoing ten (10) business day period, deposit with Landlord cash in the L-C Amount (the “Interim Cash Deposit”). If Tenant fails to replace such L-C with such conforming, substitute letter of credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 21.1, then, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to declare Tenant in default of this Lease for which there shall be no notice or grace or cure periods being applicable thereto (other than the aforesaid ten (10) business day period). Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of any and all costs incurred with the review of any replacement L-C (including without limitation Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees), which replacement is required pursuant to this Section or is otherwise requested by Tenant. In the event of an assignment by Tenant of its interest in the Lease (and irrespective of whether Landlord’s consent is required for such assignment), the acceptance of any replacement or substitute letter of credit by Landlord from the assignee shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, and the attorney’s fees incurred by Landlord in connection with such determination shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days of billing.
21.2 Application of L-C. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance upon the ability of Landlord to draw upon the L-C upon the occurrence of any L-C Draw Event. In the event of any L-C Draw Event, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, and without notice to Tenant (except in connection with an L-C Draw Event under Section 21.1(H) above), draw upon the L-C, in part or in whole, to cure any such L-C Draw Event and/or to compensate Landlord for any and all damages of any kind or nature sustained or which Landlord reasonably estimates that it will sustain resulting from Tenant’s breach or default of the Lease or other L-C Draw Event and/or to compensate Landlord for any and all damages arising out of, or incurred in connection with, the termination of this Lease, including, without limitation, those specifically identified in Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code. The use, application or retention of the L-C, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by any applicable law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the L-C, and such L-C shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the L-C, either prior to or following a “draw” by Landlord of any portion of the L-C, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord’s right to draw upon the L-C. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the L-C conditional to justify the issuer of the L-C in failing to honor a drawing upon such L-C in a timely manner. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that (i) the L-C constitutes a separate and independent contract between Landlord and the Bank, (ii) Tenant is not a third party beneficiary of such contract, (iii) Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the L-C or the proceeds thereof, and (iv) in the event Tenant
000 XXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX | ||||
-39- | [Yelp Inc.] |
becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, Tenant is placed into receivership or conservatorship, and/or there is an event of a receivership, conservatorship or a bankruptcy filing by, or on behalf of, Tenant, neither Tenant, any trustee, nor Tenant’s bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord’s claim and/or rights to the L-C and/or the proceeds thereof by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.
21.3 L-C Amount; Maintenance of L-C by Tenant; Liquidated Damages.
21.3.1 L-C Amount. The L-C Amount shall be equal to the amount set forth in Section 8 of the Summary.
21.3.2 Reduction of L-C Amount. To the extent that Tenant is not in default under this Lease, the L-C Amount shall be reduced as follows:
Date of Reduction |
L-C Amount* | |||
Fifth (5th) anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date |
$ | 2,649,888.00 | ||
Sixth (6th) anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date |
$ | 1,324,944.00 |
* | To the extent the L-C Amount has been increased pursuant to the terms of Section 1.3.4 of this Lease, above, the reduced L-C Amounts set forth in this table, above, shall be proportionally increased (based on the same ratio of the initial L-C Amount to the reduced L-C Amount set forth above) by the amount of the increase to the L-C Amount pursuant to Section 1.3.4. |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 21.3.2, in no event shall the L-C Amount as set forth above decrease during any period in which Tenant is in default under this Lease, but such decrease shall take place retroactively after such default is cured, provided that no such decrease shall thereafter take effect in the event this Lease is terminated early due to such default by Tenant.
21.3.3 Conditional Reduction of L-C Amount. If, at any time during the Lease Term, Tenant, based on its most recent audited financial statements, has (i) adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the company’s S-1 filings with the SEC) of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00), for each of four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters, or (ii) achieved an average Market Capitalization (i.e., the closing price of Tenant’s publicly traded common stock multiplied by the number of outstanding shares of such common stock) of Two Billion Five Hundred Million Dollars ($2,500,000,000.00) over a ten (10) consecutive trading day period, and provided that Tenant is not then in default under the terms of this Lease, then the L-C Amount shall be reduced to Zero Dollars ($0.00) for the remainder of the initial Lease Term and any Option Term.
21.3.4 In General. If, as a result of any drawing by Landlord of all or any portion of the L-C, the amount of the L-C shall be less than the L-C Amount, Tenant shall, within five (5) business days thereafter, provide Landlord with additional letter(s) of credit in an amount equal to the deficiency, and any such additional letter(s) of credit shall comply with all of the provisions of this Article 21. Tenant further covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the L-C or any part thereof and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the L-C expires earlier than the L-C Expiration Date, Landlord will accept a renewal thereof (such renewal letter of credit to be in effect and delivered to Landlord, as applicable, not later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the L-C), which shall be irrevocable and automatically renewable as above provided through the L-C Expiration Date upon the same terms as the expiring L-C or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion. If Tenant exercises its option to extend the Lease Term pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Lease then, not later than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the commencement of the Option Term, and provided that Tenant is still
000 XXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX | ||||
-40- | [Yelp Inc.] |
required to provide a L-C, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a new L C or certificate of renewal or extension evidencing the L-C Expiration Date as one hundred twenty (120) days after the expiration of the Option Term. However, if the L-C is not timely renewed, or if Tenant fails to maintain the L-C in the amount and in accordance with the terms set forth in this Article 21, Landlord shall have the right to either (x) present the L-C to the Bank in accordance with the terms of this Article 21, and the proceeds of the L-C may be applied by Landlord against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that is not paid when due and/or to pay for all losses and damages that Landlord has suffered or that Landlord reasonably estimates that it will suffer as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease, or (y) pursue its remedy under Section 21.3.3 below. In the event Landlord elects to exercise its rights under the foregoing item (x), (I) any unused proceeds shall constitute the property of Landlord (and not Tenant’s property or, in the event of a receivership, conservatorship, or a bankruptcy filing by, or on behalf of, Tenant, property of such receivership, conservatorship or Tenant’s bankruptcy estate) and need not be segregated from Landlord’s other assets, and (II) Landlord agrees to pay to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the L-C Expiration Date the amount of any proceeds of the L-C received by Landlord and not applied against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that was not paid when due or used to pay for any losses and/or damages suffered by Landlord (or reasonably estimated by Landlord that it will suffer) as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease; provided, however, that if prior to the L-C Expiration Date a voluntary petition is filed by Tenant, or an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant by any of Tenant’s creditors, under the Bankruptcy Code, then Landlord shall not be obligated to make such payment in the amount of the unused L-C proceeds until either all preference issues relating to payments under this Lease have been resolved in such bankruptcy or reorganization case or such bankruptcy or reorganization case has been dismissed.
21.3.5 Interim Cash Deposit. During any period that Landlord remains in possession of the Interim Cash Deposit (any such period, a “Deposit Period”), it is understood by the parties that such Interim Cash Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the full and faithful performance of Tenant’s covenants and obligations under this Lease. The Interim Cash Deposit shall not constitute an advance of any Rent, an advance payment of any other kind, nor a measure of Landlord’s damages in case of Tenant’s default. If, during any such Deposit Period, Tenant defaults with respect to any provisions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, the removal of property and the repair of resultant damage, then Landlord may but shall not be required to, from time to time, without notice to Tenant and without waiving any other remedy available to Landlord, use the Interim Cash Deposit, or any portion of it, to the extent necessary to cure or remedy such default or failure or to compensate Landlord for all damages sustained by Landlord or which Landlord reasonably estimates that it will sustain resulting from Tenant’s default or failure to comply fully and timely with its obligations pursuant to this Lease. Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord on demand any amount so applied in order to restore the Interim Cash Deposit to its original amount, and Tenant’s failure to immediately do so shall constitute a default under this Lease. In the event Landlord is in possession of the Interim Cash Deposit at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and Tenant is in compliance with the covenants and obligations set forth in this Lease at the time of such expiration or termination, then Landlord shall return to Tenant the Interim Cash Deposit, less any amounts deducted by Landlord to reimburse Landlord for any sums to which Landlord is entitled under the terms of this Lease, within sixty (60) days following both such expiration or termination and Tenant’s vacation and surrender of the Premises. Landlord’s obligations with respect to the Interim Cash Deposit are those of a debtor and not a trustee. Landlord shall not be required to maintain the Interim Cash Deposit separate and apart from Landlord’s general or other funds, and Landlord may commingle the Interim Cash Deposit with any of Landlord’s general or other funds. Tenant shall not at any time be entitled to interest on the Interim Cash Deposit. In the event of a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the Interim Cash Deposit, in whole or in part, to the transferee and thereupon Landlord shall, without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the whole or any portion of said Interim Cash Deposit to a new landlord. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, or any successor statute.
21.4 Transfer and Encumbrance. The L-C shall also provide that Landlord may, at any time and without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenant’s consent thereto, transfer (one or more times) all or any portion of its interest in and to the L-C to Landlord’s lender, regardless of whether or not such transfer is from or as a part of the assignment by Landlord of its rights and interests in and to this Lease, or to any other party, person or entity, provided such transfer is part of the assignment by Landlord of its rights and interests in and to this Lease. In the event of a transfer of Landlord’s interest in under this Lease, Landlord shall transfer the L-C, in whole or in part, to the transferee and thereupon Landlord shall, without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the whole of said L-C to a new landlord. In connection with any such transfer of the L-C by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and
000 XXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX | ||||
-41- | [Yelp Inc.] |
expense, execute and submit to the Bank such applications, documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate such transfer and Landlord shall be responsible for paying the Bank’s transfer and processing fees in connection therewith to the extent such fees are expressly set forth on Exhibit G, attaché hereto.
21.5 L-C Not a Security Deposit. Landlord and Tenant (1) acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the L-C or any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or any proceeds thereof be deemed to be or treated as a “security deposit” under any law applicable to security deposits in the commercial context, including, but not limited to, Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, as such Section now exists or as it may be hereafter amended or succeeded (the “Security Deposit Laws”), (2) acknowledge and agree that the L-C (including any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or any proceeds thereof) is not intended to serve as a security deposit, and the Security Deposit Laws shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto, and (3) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations that any such party may now, or in the future will, have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives and relinquishes the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and any successor statute, and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter in effect, which (x) establish the time frame by which a landlord must refund a security deposit under a lease, and/or (y) provide that a landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by a tenant or to clean the premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums specified in this Article 21 and/or those sums reasonably necessary to (a) compensate Landlord for any loss or damage caused by Tenant’s breach of this Lease, including any damages Landlord suffers following termination of this Lease, and/or (b) compensate Landlord for any and all damages arising out of, or incurred in connection with, the termination of this Lease, including, without limitation, those specifically identified in Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code.
21.6 Non-Interference By Tenant. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with any payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the L-C, either prior to or following a “draw” by Landlord of all or any portion of the L-C, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord’s right to draw down all or any portion of the L-C. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the L-C conditional and thereby afford the Bank a justification for failing to honor a drawing upon such L-C in a timely manner. Tenant shall not request or instruct the Bank of any L-C to refrain from paying sight draft(s) drawn under such L-C.
21.7 Waiver of Certain Relief. Tenant unconditionally and irrevocably waives (and as an independent covenant hereunder, covenants not to assert) any right to claim or obtain any of the following relief in connection with the L-C:
(a) 21.7.1 A temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, permanent injunction, or other order that would prevent, restrain or restrict the presentment of sight drafts drawn under any L-C or the Bank’s honoring or payment of sight draft(s); or
(b) 21.7.2 Any attachment, garnishment, or levy in any manner upon either the proceeds of any L-C or the obligations of the Bank (either before or after the presentment to the Bank of sight drafts drawn under such L-C) based on any theory whatever.
21.8 Remedy for Improper Drafts. Tenant’s sole remedy in connection with the improper presentment or payment of sight drafts drawn under any L-C shall be the right to obtain from Landlord a refund of the amount of any sight draft(s) that were improperly presented or the proceeds of which were misapplied, together with interest at the Interest Rate and reasonable actual out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, provided that at the time of such refund, Tenant increases the amount of such L-C to the amount (if any) then required under the applicable provisions of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that the presentment of sight drafts drawn under any L-C, or the Bank’s payment of sight drafts drawn under such L-C, could not under any circumstances cause Tenant injury that could not be remedied by an award of money damages, and that the recovery of money damages would be an adequate remedy therefor. In the event Tenant shall be entitled to a refund as aforesaid and Landlord shall fail to make such payment within ten (10) business days after demand, Tenant shall have the right to deduct the amount thereof together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the next installment(s) of Base Rent.

ARTICLE 22
ROOFTOP SATELLITE DISH
22.1 In General. At any time during the Lease Term, subject to the terms of this Lease, including this Article 22, Tenant may install, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, three (3) telecommunications antennas, and associated equipment (collectively, the “Telecommunications Equipment”) upon the roof of the Building, in the area shown on Exhibit I, attached hereto, to serve Tenant’s needs within the Premises. All such antennas shall be of reasonable size, taking into account the size of antennas that the landlords of the Comparable Buildings are allowing their tenants to install upon the roof of the Comparable Buildings, and any transmitting antenna installed by Tenant shall be a uni-directional antenna (as opposed to omni-directional or bi-directional) for point-to-point transmission only in order to reasonable minimize any potential interference with any antennas installed on the roof of the Building by Landlord or other tenant of the Building. Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any rent or other additional charge for the use of such roof space. Tenant shall also have reasonable access to Building shafts as necessary to accommodate the use of the Telecommunications Equipment. The Telecommunications Equipment shall be deemed an Alteration and the installation thereof shall be subject to the terms of Article 8 of this Lease. The physical appearance and all plans and specifications of the Telecommunications Equipment shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval, the location of any such installation of the Telecommunications Equipment shall be designated by Landlord, and Landlord may require Tenant to install screening around such Telecommunications Equipment, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, as reasonably designated by Landlord. Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for (i) obtaining all permits or other governmental approvals required in connection with the Telecommunications Equipment, (ii) repairing and maintaining and causing the Telecommunications Equipment to comply with all applicable laws, and (iii) prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, removal of the Telecommunications Equipment and all associated wiring (and the restoration of all affected areas to the condition existing prior to the installation thereof). In no event shall Tenant permit the Telecommunications Equipment to interfere with the Building systems or any other communications equipment at the Building. Tenant will be responsible for resolving technical interference problems between its Telecommunications Equipment and other equipment located at the Building as of the Lease Commencement Date or between any additional or replacement Telecommunications Equipment installed by Tenant from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Lease and other equipment then located on the Building. The Telecommunications Equipment will not disturb the communications configurations, equipment and frequency which exist at the Building as of the Lease Commencement Date and the Telecommunications Equipment will comply with all non-interference rules of the FCC. Provided that the Telecommunications Equipment does not unreasonably restrict Landlord’s ability to allow other equipment to be installed on the roof of the Building without interfering with the Telecommunication Equipment, Landlord will not permit the installation of any future equipment on the Building which results in technical interference problems with Tenant’s then existing Telecommunications Equipment. In the event of such interference with Tenant’s operations, Tenant will notify Landlord in writing, and Landlord shall correct such interference within ten (10) business days.
22.2 Tenant Indemnity. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with or arising from any cause related to Tenant’s installation, use, repair or maintenance or any other matter relating to or in connection with the Telecommunications Equipment. Tenant shall not be entitled to license its Telecommunications Equipment to any third party, nor shall Tenant be permitted to receive any revenues, fees or any other consideration for the use of such Telecommunications Equipment by an third party. Tenant’s right to install such Telecommunication Equipment shall be non-exclusive, and Tenant hereby expressly acknowledges Landlord’s continued right (i) to itself utilize any rooftop space, and (ii) to re-sell, license or lease any rooftop space to an unaffiliated third party. In the event Tenant elects to exercise its right to install the Telecommunication Equipment, then Tenant shall give Landlord prior notice thereof and, at Landlord’s option, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease covering the matters addressed in this Article 22, the payment for installation costs of the Telecommunications Equipment, the installation and maintenance of such Telecommunications Equipment, Tenant’s indemnification of Landlord with respect thereto, Tenant’s obligation to remove such Telecommunications Equipment (and restore the roof to its previously existing condition) upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and other related matters.

ARTICLE 23
SIGNS
23.1 Full Floors. Subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, in its sole discretion, and provided all signs are in keeping with the quality of the Building and Project and do not alter or damage the historic materials in the Building, Tenant, if the Premises comprise an entire floor of the Building, at its sole cost and expense, may install identification signage anywhere in the Premises including in the elevator lobby of the Premises, provided that such signs must not be visible from the exterior of the Building.
23.2 Multi-Tenant Floors. If other tenants occupy space on the floor on which the Premises is located, Tenant’s identifying signage shall be provided by Landlord, at Tenant’s cost, and such signage shall be comparable to that used by Landlord for other similar floors in the Building and shall comply with Landlord’s then-current Building standard signage program.
23.3 Prohibited Signage and Other Items. Any signs, notices, logos, pictures, names or advertisements which are installed and that have not been separately approved by Landlord may be removed after two (2) business days prior notice by Landlord at the sole expense of Tenant. Tenant may not install any signs on the exterior or roof of the Project or the Common Areas. Any signs, window coverings, or blinds (even if the same are located behind the Landlord-approved window coverings for the Building), or other items visible from the exterior of the Premises or Building, shall be subject to the prior approval of Landlord, in its sole discretion.
23.4 Building Directory. If Landlord elects, in Landlord sole and absolute discretion, to install an electronic building directory in the Building lobby, then Tenant shall have the right, at no charge to Tenant, to have Tenant’s name and the names of all of Tenant’s employees at the Premises entered into such electronic directory in the lobby of the Building. If Landlord does not install an electronic building directory, Tenant shall be entitled to its prorata share of any other directory maintained by Landlord in the Building lobby.
23.5 Tenant Exterior Signage Rights. Tenant’s rights to the “Tenant’s Signage,” as defined in this Section 23.5, below, shall be personal to the Original Tenant and any Permitted Transferee. The exact location of, and specifications for, the Tenant Signage shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval. Provided the Original Tenant or a Permitted Transferee leases and occupies not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the initial Premises, Original Tenant and any Permitted Transferee shall be entitled to install one street-level plaque on the outside of the Building near the primary lobby entrance (“Tenant’s Signage”). Tenant’s Signage shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 23.5.1 through 23.5.3, below.
23.5.1 Specifications and Permits. Tenant’s Signage shall set forth Tenant’s name and logo; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant’s Signage include an “Objectionable Name,” as that term is defined in Section 23.5.2, of this Lease. The graphics, materials, color, design, lettering, lighting, size, illumination, specifications and exact location of Tenant’s Signage (collectively, the “Sign Specifications”) shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and shall be consistent and compatible with the quality and nature of the Project. For purposes of this Section 23.5, the reference to “name” shall mean name and/or logo. In addition, Tenant’s Signage shall be subject to Tenant’s receipt of all required governmental permits and approvals and shall be subject to all applicable laws. Tenant hereby acknowledges that, notwithstanding Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s Signage, Landlord has made no representation or warranty to Tenant with respect to the probability of obtaining all necessary governmental approvals and permits for Tenant’s Signage. In the event Tenant does not receive the necessary governmental approvals and permits for Tenant’s Signage, Tenant’s and Landlord’s rights and obligations under the remaining terms and conditions of this Lease shall be unaffected.
23.5.2 Objectionable Name. Original Tenant’s name and/or logo set forth on Tenant’s Signage shall not have a name which relates to an entity which is of a character or reputation, or is associated with a political faction or orientation, which is inconsistent with the quality of the Project, or which would otherwise reasonably offend a landlord of the Comparable Buildings (an “Objectionable Name”). The parties hereby agree that the name “Yelp” or any reasonable derivation thereof, shall not be deemed an Objectionable Name.

23.5.3 Cost and Maintenance. The costs of the actual signs comprising Tenant’s Signage and the installation, design, construction, and any and all other costs associated with Tenant’s Signage, including, without limitation, utility charges and hook-up fees, permits, required Building structural upgrades, and maintenance and repairs, shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. Should Tenant’s Signage require repairs and/or maintenance, as determined in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, Landlord shall have the right to provide notice thereof to Tenant and Tenant shall cause such repairs and/or maintenance to be performed within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, if such repairs and/or maintenance are reasonably expected to require longer than thirty (30) days to perform, Tenant shall commence such repairs and/or maintenance within such thirty (30) day period and shall diligently prosecute such repairs and maintenance to completion. Should Tenant fail to perform such repairs and/or maintenance within the periods described in the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord shall have the right to cause such work to be performed and to charge Tenant as Additional Rent for the cost of such work. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or in the event Tenant fails to maintain the leasing and occupancy thresholds identified in Sections 23.5, above, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, cause Tenant’s Signage to be removed and shall cause the areas in which such Tenant’s Signage was located to be restored to the condition existing immediately prior to the placement of such Tenant’s Signage (excepting normal wear and tear). If Tenant fails to timely remove such Tenant’s Signage or to restore the areas in which such Tenant’s Signage was located, as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, then Landlord may perform such work, and all costs incurred by Landlord in so performing shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor. The terms and conditions of this Section 23.5 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 24
COMPLIANCE WITH LAW
Tenant shall not do anything or suffer anything to be done in or about the Premises or the Project which will in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or other governmental rule, regulation or requirement now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated (collectively, “Applicable Laws”). At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with any Applicable Laws which relate to (i) Tenant’s use of the Premises, (ii) any Alterations made by Tenant to the Premises, and any Tenant Improvements in the Premises, or (iii) the Base Building, but as to the Base Building, only to the extent such obligations are triggered by Alterations made by Tenant to the Premises to the extent such Alterations are not normal and customary business office improvements, or triggered by the Tenant Improvements to the extent such Tenant Improvements are not normal and customary business office improvements, or triggered by Tenant’s use of the Premises for non-general office use. Should any standard or regulation now or hereafter be imposed on Landlord or Tenant by a state, federal or local governmental body charged with the establishment, regulation and enforcement of occupational, health or safety standards for employers, employees, landlords or tenants, then Tenant agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to comply promptly with such standards or regulations. Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, to make all alterations to the Premises as are required to comply with the governmental rules, regulations, requirements or standards described in this Article 24. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any judicial action, regardless of whether Landlord is a party thereto, that Tenant has violated any of said governmental measures, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant. Landlord shall comply with all Applicable Laws relating to the Base Building, provided that compliance with such Applicable Laws is not the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease, and provided further that Landlord’s failure to comply therewith would prohibit Tenant from obtaining or maintaining a certificate of occupancy for the Premises, or would affect the safety of Tenant’s employees or create a health hazard for Tenant’s employees, or would otherwise adversely affect Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises. Landlord shall be permitted to include in Operating Expenses any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord under this Article 24 to the extent not prohibited by the terms of Section 4.2.4 above.
ARTICLE 25
LATE CHARGES
If any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee when due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to the greater of (a) three percent (3%) of the overdue amount, and (b) $150.00, plus any reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due hereunder. The late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent and the right to
000 XXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX | ||||
-45- | [Yelp Inc.] |
require it shall be in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord’s remedies in any manner. In addition to the late charge described above, any Rent or other amounts owing hereunder which are not paid within thirty (30) days after the date they are due shall bear interest from the date when due until paid at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) twelve percent (12%) (the “Interest Rate”), and (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law.
ARTICLE 26
LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULT; PAYMENTS BY TENANT
26.1 Landlord’s Cure. All covenants and agreements to be kept or performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any reduction of Rent, except to the extent, if any, otherwise expressly provided herein. If Tenant shall fail to perform any obligation under this Lease, and such failure shall continue in excess of the time allowed under Section 19.1.2, above, unless a specific time period is otherwise stated in this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant’s part without waiving its rights based upon any default of Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any obligations hereunder.
26.2 Tenant’s Reimbursement. Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon delivery by Landlord to Tenant of statements therefor: (i) sums equal to expenditures reasonably made and obligations incurred by Landlord in connection with the remedying by Landlord of Tenant’s defaults pursuant to the provisions of Section 26.1; (ii) sums equal to all losses, costs, liabilities, damages and expenses referred to in Article 10 of this Lease; and (iii) sums equal to all expenditures made and obligations incurred by Landlord in collecting or attempting to collect the Rent or in enforcing or attempting to enforce any rights of Landlord under this Lease or pursuant to law, including, without limitation, all reasonable legal fees and other amounts so expended. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 26.2 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.
ARTICLE 27
ENTRY BY LANDLORD
Landlord reserves the right, on not less than one (1) business days prior written notice and during Building Hours (except in the case of an Emergency) to enter the Premises to (i) inspect them; (ii) show the Premises to prospective purchasers, or to current or prospective mortgagees, ground or underlying lessors or insurers or, during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, to prospective tenants; (iii) post notices of nonresponsibility; or (iv) alter, improve or repair the Premises or the Building, or for structural alterations, repairs or improvements to the Building or the Building’s systems and equipment, subject, however to the requirements of Section 7.1 above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 27, Landlord may enter the Premises at any time to (A) perform services required of Landlord, including janitorial service; (B) take possession due to any breach of this Lease in the manner provided herein; and (C) perform any covenants of Tenant which Tenant fails to perform. Landlord may make any such entries without the abatement of Rent, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, and may take such reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated purposes. Tenant hereby waives any claims for damages or for any injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business and/or lost profits occasioned thereby, provided that the foregoing shall not limit Landlord’s liability, if any, pursuant to Applicable Law for personal injury and property damage to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors. Provided that Landlord employs commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the conduct of Tenant’s business in connection with entries into the Premises, Tenant hereby waives any claims for loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises in connection with such entries. For each of the above purposes, Landlord shall at all times have a key with which to unlock all the doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and special security areas designated in advance by Tenant. In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to use any means that Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises. Any entry into the Premises by Landlord in the manner hereinbefore described shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises. No provision of this Lease shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs, alterations or decorations except as otherwise expressly agreed to be performed by Landlord herein.

29.4 Modification of Lease. Should any current or prospective mortgagee or ground lessor for the Building or Project require a modification of this Lease, which modification will not cause an increased cost or expense to Tenant or in any other way materially and adversely change the rights and obligations of Tenant hereunder, then and in such event, Tenant agrees that this Lease may be so modified and agrees to execute whatever documents are reasonably required therefor and to deliver the same to Landlord within ten (10) business days following a request therefor.

29.12 No Warranty. In executing and delivering this Lease, Tenant has not relied on any representations, including, but not limited to, any representation as to the amount of any item comprising Additional Rent or the amount of the Additional Rent in the aggregate or that Landlord is furnishing the same services to other tenants, at all, on the same level or on the same basis, or any warranty or any statement of Landlord which is not set forth herein or in one or more of the exhibits attached hereto.
29.13 Landlord Exculpation. The liability of Landlord or the Landlord Parties to Tenant for any default by Landlord under this Lease or arising in connection herewith or with Landlord’s operation, management, leasing, repair, renovation, alteration or any other matter relating to the Project or the Premises shall be limited solely and exclusively to an amount which is equal to the equity interest of Landlord in the Building and the rents, issues and profits therefrom. Neither Landlord, nor any of the Landlord Parties shall have any personal liability therefor, and Tenant hereby expressly waives and releases such personal liability on behalf of itself and all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant. The limitations of liability contained in this Section 29.13 shall inure to the benefit of Landlord’s and the Landlord Parties’ present and future partners, beneficiaries, officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, agents and employees, and their respective partners, heirs, successors and assigns.

29.15 Right to Lease. Except as expressly provided in this Section 29.15, Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such other tenancies in the Project as Landlord in the exercise of its sole business judgment shall determine to best promote the interests of the Building or Project. Tenant does not rely on the fact, nor does Landlord represent, that any specific tenant or type or number of tenants shall, during the Lease Term, occupy any space in the Building or Project. Landlord agrees, during any time that the Original Tenant is continuously operating its business from at least 75% of the Premises, Landlord shall not enter into a lease for space in the Building with Google Inc. (“Google”); provided, however, in no event shall Landlord be deemed to be in breach of this Section 29.15 if any tenant in the Building is acquired by or otherwise merges with Google after the date of such tenant’s lease. If Tenant fails to continuously operate its business from within at least 75% the Premises for more than six (6) months, or if the restriction set forth in this Section 29.15 is deemed to be in violation of Applicable Law, then the leasing restrictions set forth in this Section 29.15 will automatically terminate. Tenant does hereby indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any claim, cost, loss or damage (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred or alleged against Landlord by any person, firm, corporation or other entity whatsoever by reason of Landlord’s compliance, or attempted compliance, with this Section 29.15, and in the event Landlord is made subject to any action, proceeding or penalty with respect to the provisions of this Section 29.15, Tenant will indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any cost, loss, claim or expense in respect thereto with counsel approved by Landlord, the actual out-of-pocket costs of such indemnification and defense (including reasonable attorneys fees) to be paid entirely by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 29.15 will not apply to any leases entered into by Landlord prior to the date of this Lease (or any leases being circulated for signature prior to the date of this Lease), nor to any amendments or renewals of such leases.
29.16 Force Majeure. Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, acts of war, terrorist acts, inability to obtain services, labor, or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental actions, civil commotions, fire or other casualty, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, except with respect to the obligations imposed with regard to Rent and other charges to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease (collectively, a “Force Majeure”), notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, shall excuse the performance of such party for a period equal to any such prevention, delay or stoppage and, therefore, if this Lease specifies a time period for performance of an obligation of either party, that time period shall be extended by the period of any delay in such party’s performance caused by a Force Majeure.
29.17 Waiver of Redemption by Tenant. Tenant hereby waives, for Tenant and for all those claiming under Tenant, any and all rights now or hereafter existing 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.

29.21 Attorneys’ Fees.

29.22 Governing Law; JUDICIAL REFERENCE. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LEASE. IF THE JURY WAIVER PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 29.22 ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW, THEN THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS SHALL APPLY. IT IS THE DESIRE AND INTENTION OF THE PARTIES TO AGREE UPON A MECHANISM AND PROCEDURE UNDER WHICH CONTROVERSIES AND DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF THIS LEASE OR RELATED TO THE PREMISES WILL BE RESOLVED IN A PROMPT AND EXPEDITIOUS MANNER.

However, Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord is currently renovating or may during the Lease Term renovate, improve, alter, or modify (collectively, the “Renovations”) the Project, the Building and/or the Premises. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete any Renovations in a manner which does not adversely affect Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant hereby agrees that such Renovations shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent. Landlord shall have no responsibility and shall not be liable to Tenant for any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the Renovations, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant’s personal property or improvements resulting from the Renovations, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Renovations.
29.30 No Violation. Each party hereby warrants and represents to the other that neither its execution of nor performance under this Lease shall cause such party to be in violation of any agreement, instrument, contract, law, rule or regulation by which such party is bound, and each party shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold the other party harmless against any claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising from such indemnifying party’s breach of this warranty and representation.
29.31 Transportation Management. Tenant shall fully comply with all present or future programs intended to manage parking, transportation or traffic in and around the Project and/or the Building, and in connection therewith, Tenant shall take responsible action for the transportation planning and management of all employees located at the Premises by working directly with Landlord, any governmental transportation management organization or any other transportation-related committees or entities.

Original Tenant and any Permitted Transferee may rent, on a month-to-month basis, up to one (1) non-transferable parking pass for each full floor leased by Tenant in the Building, which passes shall be for unreserved parking spaces in the Building. If at any time during the Lease Term Tenant rents less than the full number of parking passes that Tenant is allowed to rent pursuant to the terms of this Section 29.32, then the number of parking passes that Tenant shall have the right to rent pursuant to the terms of this Section 29.32 shall be decreased for the remainder of the Lease Term to the number of parking passes actually rented by Tenant. Tenant shall pay Landlord each automobile parking pass on a monthly basis the prevailing rate charged from time to time at the location of such parking passes. Tenant shall supply Landlord with an identification roster listing, for each parking pass, the name of the employee and the make, color and registration number of the vehicle to which such parking pass has been assigned, and shall provide a revised roster to Landlord monthly indicating changes thereto. Tenant’s continued right to use the parking passes is conditioned upon Tenant abiding by all rules and regulations which are prescribed from time to time for the orderly operation and use of the parking facility where the parking passes are located, including any sticker or other identification system established by Landlord, Tenant’s cooperation in seeing that Tenant’s employees and visitors also comply with such rules and regulations and Tenant not being in default under this Lease; provided, however, Landlord shall not enact any such rules and regulations intended to discriminate against Tenant vis-à-vis the other tenants of the Building.

Landlord may delegate its responsibilities hereunder to a parking operator in which case such parking operator shall have all the rights of control attributed hereby to the Landlord. The parking passes rented by Tenant pursuant to this Section 29.32 are provided to Tenant solely for use by Tenant’s own personnel and such passes may not be transferred, assigned, subleased or otherwise alienated by Tenant without Landlord’s prior approval. The rights contained in this Section 29.32 shall be personal to Original Tenant and any Permitted Transferee, may only be exercised by Original Tenant or a Permitted Transferee (and not any other assignee, sublessee or Transferee, of Original Tenant’s interest in this Lease) if the Lease then remains in full force and effect and if Original Tenant or Permitted Transferee occupies at least seventy-fie percent (75%) of the Premises.

29.33.4 Documentation. Tenant shall provide documentary and other reasonable evidence of Tenant’s identity and ownership as may be reasonably requested by Landlord at any time to enable Landlord to verify Tenant’s identity or to comply with any legal request.
29.34 Storage Space. Tenant shall lease from Landlord during the Term and any Option Term up to one thousand rentable square feet of storage space for Tenant’s exclusive use as storage for personal property used in connection with Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises.

Tenant’s insurance and indemnity obligations set forth this Lease apply to the storage space as if it were a part of the Premises. Landlord has the right at any time during the Lease Term, upon giving Tenant at least thirty (30) days prior written notice, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, to move Tenant from the storage space to comparable storage space (as reasonably determined by Landlord) elsewhere in the Building of approximately the same size as the prior storage space. At Landlord’s option, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a separate storage agreement, in Landlord’s standard form for the Building, covering the matters addressed in this Section 29.34.

29.36 Payment/Work Under Protest. If at any time a dispute arises regarding any amount or sum of money to be paid by one party to the other under the provisions hereof, the party against whom the obligation to pay is asserted has the right to make payment “under protest” any such payment will not be regarded as a voluntary payment. In additional the right on the part of said party to institute suit for the recovery of such sum will survive. If it is adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part of said party to pay such sum or any part thereof, said party will be entitled to recover such sum or so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay under the provisions of this Lease, with interest thereon at the Interest Rate. If at any time a dispute arises between the parties hereto regarding any work to be performed by either of them under the provisions hereof, the party against whom the obligation to perform the work is asserted may perform such work and pay the cost thereof “under protest”. The performance of such work in no event shall be regarded as a voluntary performance, and the right on the part of said party to institute suit for the recovery of the costs of such work will survive. If it is adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part of said party to perform the same or any part thereof, said party will be entitled to recover the cost of such work or the cost of so much thereof as said party was not legally required to perform under the provisions of this Lease, with interest thereon at the Interest Rate as may be adjusted from time-to-time. Whenever a payment is made or work is done “under protest”, as provided in this Section, the party doing so before making any such payment or doing any such work, must notify the other party in writing that it is doing so “under protest”. Landlord may collect any sum it is entitled to under this Section as additional rent, and Tenant may, if it chooses, to the extent the Landlord entity is the same entity to which the payment under protest was made, deduct any such sum from rents and many other sums thereafter becoming due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord.

Tenant shall supply Landlord with four (4) copies signed by Tenant of the Final Space Plan. Landlord may request clarification or more specific drawings for special use items not included in the Final Space Plan. Landlord shall advise Tenant within five (5) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Final Space Plan for the Premises if the same is unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect. If Tenant is so advised, Tenant shall promptly cause the Final Space Plan to be revised to correct any deficiencies or other matters Landlord may reasonably require.

MARKET RENT ANALYSIS
When determining Market Rent, the following rules and instructions shall be followed.
1. RELEVANT FACTORS. The “Market Rent,” as used in this Lease, shall be derived from an analysis (as such derivation and analysis are set forth in this Exhibit F) of the “Net Equivalent Lease Rates,” of the “Comparable Transactions”. The “Market Rent,” as used in this Lease, shall be equal to the annual rent per rentable square foot as would be applicable on the commencement of the Option Term at which tenants, are, pursuant to transactions consummated within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the first day of the Option Term (provided that timing adjustments shall be made to reflect any perceived changes which will occur in the Market Rent following the date of any particular Comparable Transaction up to the date of the commencement of the Option Term) leasing non-sublease, non-encumbered, non-equity space comparable in location and quality to the Premises and consisting of 40,000 rentable square feet of space or greater transactions, for a comparable term, in an arm’s-length transaction, which comparable space is located in the “Comparable Buildings,” as that term is defined in Section 4, below (transactions satisfying the foregoing criteria shall be known as the “Comparable Transactions”). The terms of the Comparable Transactions shall be calculated as a Net Equivalent Lease Rate pursuant to the terms of this Exhibit F and shall take into consideration only the following terms and concessions: (i) the rental rate and escalations for the Comparable Transactions, (ii) operating expense and tax escalation protection granted in such Comparable Transactions such as a base year or expense stop (although for each such Comparable Transaction the base rent shall be adjusted to a triple net base rent using reasonable estimates of operating expenses and taxes as determined by Landlord for each such Comparable Transaction); (iii) tenant improvements or allowances provided or to be provided for such comparable space, taking into account, the value of the existing improvements, if any, in the Premises and/or improvement allowances granted to Tenant, such value of existing improvements to be based upon the age, quality and layout of the improvements and the extent to which the same could be utilized by general office users (as contrasted to the Tenant), provided, for purposes of determining the Market Rent, in no event shall the value of such existing improvements exceed $60.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises, and (iv) rental abatement concessions, if any, being granted such tenants in connection with such comparable space; provided, however, that no consideration shall be given to (1) the fact that Landlord is or is not required to pay a real estate brokerage commission in connection with the applicable term or the fact that the Comparable Transactions do or do not involve the payment of real estate brokerage commissions, and (2) any period of rental abatement, if any, granted to tenants in Comparable Transactions in connection with the design, permitting and construction of tenant improvements in such comparable spaces. The Market Rent shall include adjustment of the stated size of the Premises, based upon the standards of measurement utilized in the Comparable Transactions.
2. TENANT SECURITY. The Market Rent shall additionally include a determination as to whether, and if so to what extent, Tenant must provide Landlord with financial security, such as a letter of credit or guaranty, for Tenant’s Rent obligations during the Option Term. Such determination shall be made by reviewing the extent of financial security then generally being imposed in Comparable Transactions from tenants of comparable financial condition and credit history to the then existing financial condition and credit history of Tenant (with appropriate adjustments to account for differences in the then-existing financial condition of Tenant and such other tenants).
3. TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE. If, in determining the Market Rent for an Option Term, Tenant is entitled to a tenant improvement or comparable allowance for the improvement of the Option Space (the “Option Term TI Allowance”), Landlord shall fund such Option Term TI Allowance (as opposed to offsetting all or a portion of the Option Term TI Allowance against the rental rate component of the Market Rent).
4. COMPARABLE BUILDINGS. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Comparable Buildings” shall mean the Building and those certain other first-class premier historical office buildings located in the financial district area of San Francisco, California. With respect to Comparable Transactions that are not located in the Building, the
EXHIBIT F | 000 XXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX | |||
-1- | [Yelp Inc.] |
Market Rent shall be adjusted, if necessary, to take into consideration the size, location, quality of construction (including historical renovations), views, and services and amenities of the Comparable Buildings as they the relate to the Building, as well as the historical differences in rental rates typically achieved at the Comparable Buildings as compared to the Building.
5. METHODOLOGY FOR REVIEWING AND COMPARING THE COMPARABLE TRANSACTIONS. In order to analyze the Comparable Transactions based on the factors to be considered in calculating Market Rent, and given that the Comparable Transactions may vary in terms of length or term, rental rate, concessions, etc., the following steps shall be taken into consideration to “adjust” the objective data from each of the Comparable Transactions. By taking this approach, a “Net Equivalent Lease Rate” for each of the Comparable Transactions shall be determined using the following steps to adjust the Comparable Transactions, which will allow for an “apples to apples” comparison of the Comparable Transactions.
5.1 The contractual rent payments for each of the Comparable Transactions should be arrayed monthly or annually over the lease term. All Comparable Transactions should be adjusted to simulate a net rent structure, wherein the tenant is responsible for the payment of all property operating expenses and taxes in a manner consistent with this Lease. This results in the estimate of Net Equivalent Rent received by each landlord for each Comparable Transaction being expressed as a periodic net rent payment.
5.2 Any free rent or similar inducements received over time should be deducted in the time period in which they occur, resulting in the net cash flow arrayed over the lease term.
5.3 The resultant net cash flow from the lease should be then discounted (using an annual discount rate equal to 8.0%) to the lease commencement date, resulting in a net present value estimate.
5.4 From the net present value, up front inducements (improvements allowances and other concessions) should be deducted. These items should be deducted directly, on a “dollar for dollar” basis, without discounting since they are typically incurred at lease commencement, while rent (which is discounted) is a future receipt.
5.5 The net present value should then amortized back over the lease term as a level monthly or annual net rent payment using the same annual discount rate of 8.0% used in the present value analysis. This calculation will result in a hypothetical level or even payment over the option period, termed the “Net Equivalent Lease Rate” (or constant equivalent in general financial terms).
6. USE OF NET EQUIVALENT LEASE RATES FOR COMPARABLE TRANSACTIONS. The Net Equivalent Lease Rates for the Comparable Transactions shall then be used to reconcile, in a manner usual and customary for a real estate appraisal process, to a conclusion of Market Rent which shall be stated as a Net Equivalent Lease Rate applicable the Option Term.

3.2 | No Default.

4.2 | Notice of Default.

-3- | [Yelp Inc.] |
Administrative Agent as its landlord, such attornment to be effective and self operative without the execution of any further instrument immediately upon Administrative Agent succeeding to Lessor’s interest in the Lease and giving written notice thereof to Lessee; |
5.3 | No Offset. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable for, or otherwise subject to, any offsets or defenses which Lessee may have by reason of any act or omission of Lessor under the Lease, nor for the return of any sums which Lessee may have paid to Lessor under the Lease as and for security deposits, advance rentals or otherwise, except to the extent that such sums are actually delivered by Lessor to Administrative Agent. |
5.4 | Delivery of Premises; Tenant Improvements. If Administrative Agent or any Lender shall succeed to the rights of Lessor under the Lease following foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, then, so long as the Lease remains in full force and effect and Lessee is not in material default thereunder after receipt of written notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period, in each case, to the extent required under the Lease, Administrative Agent or Lender (or their successor(s) in interest) shall complete any uncompleted portion of the Landlord Work (as defined in the Lease) and fund any unfunded portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (as defined in the Lease), in each case, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Lease as modified by the terms of this Agreement Further, in no event shall Administrative Agent or any Lender be liable to Tenant for any amount under Section 2.5 of the Lease unless and until such time as Administrative Agent or Lender (or their successor(s) in interest) (i) succeeds to the rights of Lessor under the Lease following foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and (ii) fails to complete the Landlord Work (as defined in the Lease) in accordance with the terms of the Lease). Notwithstanding anything in the Lease or this Agreement to the contrary, if Administrative Agent or any Lender is liable to Tenant pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant’s exclusive remedy shall be to obtain a credit against Base Rent (as defined in the Lease) to the extent of the amount due to Tenant under Section 2.5 of the Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be obligated to make any cash payment to Tenant with respect to any amount due under Section 2.5 of the Lease. |
5.5 | Subsequent Transfer. If Administrative Agent, by succeeding to the interest of Lessor under the Lease, should become obligated to perform the covenants of Lessor thereunder, then, upon any further transfer of Lessor’s interest by Administrative Agent where such transferee succeeds to the interest of Lessor under the Lease, all of such obligations, to the extent accruing from and after the date of such transfer, shall terminate as to Administrative Agent; and |
5.6 | Purchase Option; Right of First Refusal; Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable for, or subject to, any option to purchase with respect to the Property, any right of first refusal with respect to the Property, any provision regarding the use of insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds with respect to the Property which is inconsistent with the terms of the Deed of Trust, except, in each case, to the extent expressly provided in a Lease that has been approved by Administrative Agent. |
6. | NON DISTURBANCE. In the event of any sale, assignment or transfer of Lessor’s interest under the Lease pursuant to the exercise of any remedy of Administrative Agent under the Deed of Trust or assignment of leases and rents, by foreclosure, trustee’s sale, deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise; or any other transfer of Lessor’s interest in the Property under peril of foreclosure, so long as Lessee shall not be in material default (beyond receipt of any applicable notice and the expiration of cure period provided in the Lease), Administrative Agent agrees for itself and its successors and assigns that the leasehold interest of Lessee under the Lease shall not be extinguished or terminated by reason of such event, but rather the Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Administrative Agent shall recognize and accept Lessee as tenant under the Lease subject to the terms and provisions of the Lease except as modified by this Agreement. |
