2.2 Acceptance of Leased Premises. Tenant acknowledges that: (a) it has been advised by Landlord, Landlord’s Broker and Tenant’s Broker, if any, to satisfy itself with respect to the condition of the Leased Premises (including, without limitation, the HVAC, electrical, plumbing and other mechanical installations, fire sprinkler systems, security, environmental aspects, and compliance with applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations) and the present and future suitability of the Leased Premises for Tenant’s intended use; (b) Tenant has made such inspection and investigation as it deems necessary with reference to such matters and assumes all responsibility therefor as the same relate to Xxxxxx’s occupancy of the Leased Premises and the Term of this Lease; and (c) neither Landlord nor Landlord’s Broker nor any of Landlord’s agents has made any oral or written representations or warranties with respect to the condition, suitability or fitness of the Leased Premises other than as may be specifically set forth in this Lease. Tenant accepts the Leased Premises in its AS IS condition existing on the date Tenant executes this Lease, subject to all matters of record and applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s Broker nor any of Landlord’s agents has agreed to undertake any alterations or additions or to perform any maintenance or repair of the Leased Premises except for the routine maintenance and janitorial work specified herein and except as may be expressly set forth in Exhibit B. If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant on the estimated commencement date in the condition specified in this Section 2.2, Landlord shall neither be subject to any liability nor shall the validity of this Lease be affected; provided, the Term and the obligation to pay Gross Rent shall commence on the date possession is actually tendered to Tenant (which date shall become the Term Commencement Date) and the Term Expiration Date shall be extended commensurately. If the Term Commencement Date and/or the Term Expiration Date is other than the Term
3
Commencement Date and Term Expiration Date specified in the Basic Lease Information or is not set forth in the Basic Lease Information, the parties shall execute that certain Confirmation of Term of Lease, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto specifying the actual Term Commencement Date, Term Expiration Date and the date on which Tenant is to commence paying Rent. Tenant shall execute and return such Confirmation of Term of Lease to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Xxxxxx’s receipt thereof.

2.3 Right To Relocate Leased Premises. At any time during the Term, Landlord shall have the right to relocate Tenant to other premises within the Building which are at least an entire floor in the Building and above the fifth (5th) floor, have the same approximate area as the Leased Premises, are built-out by Landlord to substantially the same layout, with finishes of equal or better quality, as is in place in the Leased Premises immediately prior to such relocation, and the same rental rate per square foot as the Leased Premises, upon ninety (90) days prior notice to Tenant. In addition, Xxxxxx’s rights with respect to its signage on the fifth (5th) floor, as provided in Section 4.4 below, shall apply with regard to the floor to which the Leased Premises arc relocated. Any such move to such relocated premises must be completed by Landlord only during a weekend, and at Tenant’s reasonable convenience. Landlord shall lease the new premises to Tenant on the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease, at a Gross Rent no greater than what Tenant is obligated to pay under this Lease prior to such relocation, provided that if the Rentable Area of the new premises is less than the Rentable Area of the original Leased Premises, there shall be a proportionate adjustment of Gross Rent based on the revised Rentable Area. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant’s reasonable out of pocket costs to relocate Tenant’s inventory, furniture, trade fixtures, and equipment and to install Tenant’s fixtures (or provide new fixtures of the same quality, nature and extent as those in the Leased Premises if, in Landlord’s judgment, it is not economically feasible to relocate Tenant’s fixtures), within ten (10) business days after the later of (a) Tenant’s submission to Landlord of an itemized list of such out of pocket expenses (accompanied by copies of paid receipts for each itemized cost) and (b) Tenant’s conducting business in such new premises.

Article 3.
Term, Use and Rent
3.1 Term. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, the Term shall commence upon the Term Commencement Date, and unless sooner terminated, shall end on the Term Expiration Date. Subject to Landlord’s reasonable security precautions and factors beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. Tenant shall have access to the Leased Premises twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, and fifty-two (52) weeks per year. In addition, notwithstanding the terms of Rule No. 5 in the rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit D, Tenant shall be permitted to install and utilize either a key/card or a biometric security system for entry to the Leased Premises
provided Tenant receives Landlord’s prior written approval as to system size, design, installation and location (which approval Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay) and Tenant also gives Landlord access to the Leased Premises through such system.
3.2 Use. Tenant shall use the Leased Premises solely for the Permitted Use and for no other use or purpose. Tenant shall not commit waste, overload the Building’s structure or the Building’s systems or subject the Leased Premises to any use that would damage the Leased Premises. Tenant shall maintain a ratio of not more than the lesser of (i) one Occupant (as defined below) for each one hundred twenty-five (125) rentable square feet of the Leased Premises, or (ii) any occupancy limit imposed by applicable law. Upon request by Xxxxxxxx, Tenant shall maintain on a daily basis an accurate record of the number of employees, visitors, contractors and other people that visit the Leased Premises (collectively “Occupants”). Landlord shall have the right to audit Xxxxxx’s Occupant record and, at Landlord’s option, Landlord shall have the right to periodically visit the Leased Premises without advance notice to Tenant in order to track the number of Occupants arriving at the Leased Premises. For purposes of this Section 3.2, “Occupants” shall not include people not employed by Tenant that deliver or pick up mail or other packages or deliver supplies or perform maintenance work at the Leased Premises, employees of Landlord or employees of Landlord’s agents or contractors. Tenant acknowledges that increased numbers of Occupants causes additional wear and tear on the Leased Premises and the Common Areas, additional use of electricity, water and other utilities, and additional demand for other Building services. Tenant’s failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 3.2 shall constitute an event of default under Section 7.8 and Landlord shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies it may have at law or equity, to specifically enforce Tenant’s obligations under this Section.
3.3 Base Rent.
(a) Tenant shall pay the Base Rent to Landlord in accordance with the schedule set forth on the Basic Lease Information sheet and in the manner described below. Tenant shall prepay $75,096.00 of Base Rent (to be credited for Base Rent due and payable after the Base Rent Abatement Period, if any, expires) upon execution of this Lease. Tenant shall pay the Gross Rent (consisting of Base Rent plus, when applicable in accordance with Section 3.4 below, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Basic Operating Costs and/or Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Property Taxes)) in monthly installments on or before the first day of each calendar month during the Term and any extensions or renewals thereof, in advance without demand and without any reduction, abatement, counterclaim or setoff, in lawful money of the United States at Landlord’s address specified on the Basic Lease Information sheet or at such other address as may be designated by Landlord in the manner provided for giving notice under Section 9.11 hereof.
5
(b) If the Term commences on other than the first day of a month, then the Base Rent provided for such partial month shall be prorated based upon a thirty (30)-day month. If the Term terminates on other than the last day of a calendar month, then the Gross Rent provided for such partial month shall be prorated based upon a thirty (30)-day month and the prorated installment shall be paid on the first day of the calendar month in which the date of termination occurs.
3.4 Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Basic Operating Costs and Property Taxes.
(a) Commencing on the Term Commencement Date and continuing through the remainder of the Term, for each Computation Year after the Base Year Tenant shall pay to Landlord (i) Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the total dollar increase, if any, in Basic Operating Costs attributable to such Computation Year over the Basic Operating Costs attributable to the Base Year, and (ii) Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the total dollar increase, if any, in Property Taxes attributable to such Computation Year over the Property Taxes attributable to the Base Year. Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit or refund from Landlord if the Basic Operating Costs or Property Taxes for any Computation Year are less than the Basic Operating Costs or Property Taxes for the Base Year, respectively.
(b) During the first Computation Year after the Base Year, on or before the first day of each month during such Computation Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of Landlord’s estimate of the amount payable by Tenant under Section 3.4(a) as set forth in Landlord’s written notice to Tenant. During the last month of each Computation Year (or as soon thereafter as practicable), Landlord shall give Tenant notice of Landlord’s estimate of the amount payable by Tenant under Section 3.4(a) for the following Computation Year. On or before the first day of each month during the following Computation Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12) of such estimated amount, provided that if Landlord fails to give such notice in the last month of the prior year, then Tenant shall continue to pay on the basis of the prior year’s estimate until the first day of the calendar month next succeeding the date such notice is given by Landlord; and from the first day of the calendar month following the date such notice is given, Tenant’s payments shall be adjusted so that the estimated amount for that Computation Year will be fully paid by the end of that Computation Year. If at any time or times Landlord determines that the amount payable under Section 3.4(a) for the current Computation Year will vary from its estimate given to Tenant, Landlord, by notice to Tenant, may revise its estimate for such Computation Year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such Computation Year shall be based upon such revised estimate.
(c) Following the end of each Computation Year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of amounts payable under Section 3.4(a) for such Computation Year. If such statement shows an amount owing by Tenant that is less than
the payments for such Computation Year previously made by Tenant, and if no event of default (as defined below) is outstanding at the time such statement is delivered, Landlord shall credit such amount to the next payment(s) of Gross Rent falling due under this Lease. If such statement shows an amount owing by Tenant that is more than the estimated payments for such Computation Year previously made by Tenant,
6
Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such statement. The respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Section 3.4(c) shall survive the Term Expiration Date, and, if the Term Expiration Date is a day other than the last day of a Computation Year, the adjustment in Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Basic Operating Costs and in Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Property Taxes pursuant to this Section 3.4(c) for the Computation Year in which the Term Expiration Date occurs shall be prorated in the proportion that the number of days in such Computation Year preceding the Term Expiration Date bears to three hundred sixty-five (365).
(d) Landlord shall have the same remedies for a default in the payment of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Basic Operating Costs or for a default in the payment of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Property Taxes as for a default in the payment of Base Rent.
(e) Provided that (i) no event of default is then occurring hereunder, nor (ii) is any event occurring which with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an event of default, then in the event that Basic Operating Costs allocated to the Building increases by more than ten percent (10%) in any Computation Year as compared to the immediately preceding Computation Year, Tenant, at its sole expense, shall have the right, exercisable upon delivery of written notice to Landlord within six (6) months after the end of the Computation Year or the receipt of a reconciliation statement for the Computation Year (if applicable), to review and audit Landlord’s books and records regarding such increase in Basic Operating Costs with respect to such Computation Year for the sole purpose of determining the accuracy thereof. Such review or audit shall be performed by a nationally recognized accounting firm that calculates its fees with respect to hours actually worked (as opposed to a calculation based upon percentage of recoveries or other incentive arrangement), shall take place during business hours in the office of Landlord or Landlord’s property manager and shall be completed within sixty (60) days after Xxxxxx’s delivery to Landlord of notice of its election to conduct such audit. If Tenant does not so review or audit Landlord’s books and records, the Basic Operating Costs for a particular Computation Year shall be final and binding upon Tenant. In the event that such audit of Landlord’s books and records reveals that the amount of Basic Operating Cost paid by Tenant pursuant to Section 3.4(a), as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.4(c) above, for the period covered by such audit is less than or greater than the actual amount properly payable by Tenant under the terms of this Lease, Tenant shall promptly pay any deficiency to Landlord or, if Landlord concurs with the results of such audit. Landlord shall promptly refund any excess payment to Tenant, as the case may be. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that such audit reveals an overstatement of Basic Operating Costs charged to Tenant in excess of seven percent (7%), Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable cost of said audit in addition to refunding any excess payment to Tenant as provided above. Tenant shall keep any information gained from its review of Landlord’s books and records confidential and shall not disclose it to any other party, except as required by any laws. Prior to being permitted access to Landlord’s books and records to conduct any audit permitted by the terms of this Section 3.4(e), Xxxxxx’s accounting firm shall execute a confidentiality agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, pursuant to which Xxxxxx’s accounting firm shall agree (i) to keep any information gained from its review of Landlord’s books and records confidential, (ii) not disclose such information to any other party, except as required by any laws, and (iii) such other terms and conditions as Landlord may reasonably require.

the form reasonably requested by Xxxxxxxx, any ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary, any additional documents evidencing the priority or subordination of this Lease with respect to any such ground leases or underlying leases or the lien of any such mortgage or deed of trust.
(b) At Tenant’s sole cost, not to exceed One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500.00), Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a nondisturbance agreement from the existing lender within ninety (90) days after the Date of Lease on such lender’s standard form with commercially reasonable changes requested by Xxxxxx and agreed to by the lender.

Any such estoppel certificate may be relied upon by any such mortgagee or purchaser. Failure by Tenant to execute and deliver any such
19
estoppel certificate within the time requested shall be, at Landlord’s election, conclusive upon Tenant that (1) this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified except as represented by Landlord; (2) not more than one month’s Rent has been paid in advance; and (3) Landlord is not in default under this Lease.
5.14 Security Deposit.
(a) Concurrently with the execution hereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the agreed upon Security Deposit as security for the full and faithful performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

If Landlord uses or applies all or any part of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall, on demand, pay to Landlord a sum sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full amount required by this Lease. Upon expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease and after Tenant has vacated the Leased Premises, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit to Tenant, reduced by such amounts as may be required by Landlord to remedy defaults on the part of Tenant in the payment of Rent, to repair damages to the Leased Premises caused by Tenant and to clean the Leased Premises. The portion of the deposit not so required shall be paid over to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest in this Lease) within thirty (30) days after expiration of the Term or earlier termination hereof. Landlord shall hold the Security Deposit for the foregoing purposes; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to segregate the Security Deposit from its general funds or to pay interest in respect thereof. No part of the Security Deposit shall be considered to be held in trust, or to be prepayment of any monies to be paid by Tenant under this Lease. Tenant hereby waives (i) the protections of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, as it may hereafter be amended and any and all other laws, rules and regulations applicable to security deposits in the commercial context (“Security Deposit Laws”), and (ii) any and all rights, duties and obligations either party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Security Deposit may be retained and applied by Landlord (a) to offset Rent which is unpaid either before or after termination of this Lease, and (b) against other damages suffered by Landlord before or after termination of this Lease.
(b) Instead of a cash deposit, Tenant shall deliver the Security Deposit to Landlord in the form of a clean and irrevocable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) issued by and drawable upon (said issuer being referred to as the “Issuing Bank”) a financial institution which is reasonably approved by Landlord, provided that Landlord shall not withhold its consent to an Issuing Bank which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the long term unsecured debt obligations of which are rated at least “AA” by Fitch and Standard & Poors and “Aa2” by Moody’s. Such Letter of Credit shall (a) name Landlord as beneficiary, (b) be in the amount of the Security Deposit, (c) have a term of not less than one (1) year, (d) permit multiple drawings, (e) be fully transferable by Landlord, and (f) otherwise be in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. If upon any transfer of the Letter of Credit, any fees or charges shall be so imposed, then such fees or charges shall be payable solely by Xxxxxx and the Letter of Credit shall so specify and if the Issuing Bank will not agree to the transfer (or if it imposes
20
unreasonable requirements for the transfer), Tenant shall promptly replace such Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit shall provide that it shall be deemed automatically renewed, without amendment, for consecutive periods of one year each thereafter during the Term unless the Issuing Bank sends a notice (the “Non-Renewal Notice”) to Landlord by
certified mail, return receipt requested, not less than 45 days next preceding the then expiration date of the Letter of Credit stating that the Issuing Bank has elected not to renew the Letter of Credit. Landlord shall have the right, upon receipt of the Non-Renewal Notice, to draw the full amount of the Letter of Credit, by sight draft on the Issuing Bank, and shall thereafter hold or apply the cash proceeds of the Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.14. The Issuing Bank shall agree with all drawers, endorsers and bona fide holders that drafts drawn under and in compliance with the terms of the Letter of Credit will be duly honored upon presentation to the Issuing Bank at an office location in the San Francisco Bay Area. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby approves Silicon Valley Bank as an Issuing Bank.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.14 to the contrary, the Security Deposit shall be reduced from $901,152.00 to $450,576.00 if Tenant provides to Landlord at any time during the Term after the last day of the forty-fourth (44th) full calendar month after the Term Commencement Date financial statements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, showing an operating profit for Tenant in each of the four (4) consecutive quarters immediately preceding Tenant’s delivery of such financial statements. In the event that Tenant satisfies the condition above, Tenant shall have the right to reduce the Letter of Credit amount via the delivery to Landlord of either (i) an amendment to the existing Letter of Credit (in form and content reasonably acceptable to Landlord) reducing the Letter of Credit amount to the amount set forth above, or (ii) an entirely new Letter of Credit (in the form and content required by this Section 5.14) in the Letter of Credit amount then required as set forth above. If applicable, Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in executing such authorizations as the Issuing Bank may require to accomplish any such reduction.
5.15 Surrender.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.7 hereof, on the Term Expiration Date (or earlier termination of this Lease), Tenant shall quit and surrender possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord in broom clean condition and as good order and condition as they were in on the Term Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear, taking by condemnation and damage by casualty not caused by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, invitees and licensees excepted. Reasonable wear and tear shall not include any damage or deterioration that would have been prevented by good maintenance practice or by Tenant performing all of its obligations under this Lease. Tenant shall, without cost to Landlord, remove all furniture, equipment, trade fixtures, debris and articles of personal property owned by Tenant in the Leased Premises, and shall repair any damage to the Project resulting from such removal. Any such property not removed by Tenant by the Term Expiration Date (or earlier termination of this Lease) shall be considered abandoned, and Landlord may remove any or all of such items and dispose of same in any lawful manner or store same in a public warehouse or elsewhere for the account and at the expense and risk of Tenant. If Tenant shall fail to pay the cost of storing any such property after storage for thirty (30) days or more, Landlord may sell any or all of such property at public or private sale, in such manner and at such times and places as Landlord may deem proper, without notice to or demand upon Tenant. Landlord shall apply the proceeds of any such sale as follows: first, to the costs of such
21
sale; second, to the costs of storing any such property; third, to the payment of any other sums of money which may then or thereafter be due to Landlord from Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease; and fourth, the balance, if any, to Tenant.
(b) In addition, on the Term Expiration Date (or earlier termination of this Lease), Tenant shall remove, at its sole cost and expense, all of Tenant’s telecommunications lines and cabling installed by Tenant, including, without limitation, any such lines and cabling installed in the plenum or risers of the Building in compliance with the National Electrical Code (collectively, “Wires”) and repair all damage caused thereby and restore the Leased Premises or the Building, as the case may be, to their condition existing prior to the installation of the Wires (“Wire Restoration Work”). Landlord, at its option, may perform such Wire Restoration Work at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. In the event that Tenant fails to perform the Wire Restoration Work or refuses to pay all costs of the Wire Restoration Work (if performed by Landlord) within ten (10) days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s notice requesting Xxxxxx’s reimbursement for or payment of such costs or otherwise fails to comply with the provisions of this Section, Landlord may apply all or any portion of the Security Deposit toward the payment of any costs or expenses relative to the Wire Restoration Work or Tenant’s obligations under this Section. The retention or application of such Security Deposit (if any) by Landlord pursuant to this Section does not constitute a limitation on or waiver of Landlord’s right to seek further remedy under law or equity. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
5.16 Tenant’s Remedies.
(a) Landlord shall not be deemed in breach of this Lease unless Landlord fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation required to be performed by Landlord. For purposes of this Section 5.16, a reasonable time shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord, and by the holders of any ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage covering the Leased Premises whose name and address shall have been furnished Tenant in writing for such purpose, of written notice specifying wherein such obligation of Landlord has not been performed; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days after such notice are reasonably required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be in breach of this Lease if performance is commenced within said thirty (30)-
day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion. If Landlord fails to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, the holder of any such ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage shall have an additional period of time as described in Section 9.26 below. The liability of Landlord to Tenant for any default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease shall be limited to the actual interest of Landlord and its present or future partners or members in the Building, and Xxxxxx agrees to look solely to Xxxxxxxx’s interest in the Building for satisfaction of any liability and shall not look to other assets of Landlord nor seek any recourse against the assets of the individual partners, members, directors, officers, shareholders, agents or employees of Landlord, including without limitation, any property management or asset management company of Landlord (collectively, the “Landlord Parties”). It is the parties’ intention that Landlord and the Landlord Parties shall not in any event or circumstance be personally liable, in any manner whatsoever, for any judgment or deficiency hereunder or with respect to this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss, injury or damage arising from any act or omission of any other tenant or occupant of the Building, nor shall Landlord be liable under any circumstances for damage or inconvenience to Tenant’s business or for any loss of income or profit therefrom or for other consequential damages. The
22
liability of Landlord under this Lease is limited to its actual period of ownership of title to the Building. Any lien obtained to enforce any such judgment and any levy of execution thereon shall be subject and subordinate to any lien, deed of trust or mortgage to which Section 5.12 applies or may apply. Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease or withhold, reduce or offset any amount against any payments of Rent due and payable under this Lease by reason of a breach of this Lease by Landlord, except as hereinafter provided.
(b) If (i) Tenant provides written notice to Landlord of an event or circumstance which requires the action of Landlord with respect to repair and/or maintenance which solely affects the Leased Premises and no other tenant space, and Landlord fails to provide such action and the failure continues beyond the applicable cure period set forth in this Section 5.16, and (ii) Landlord does not provide Tenant written notice reasonably objecting to the necessity or appropriateness of the Tenant requested repair and/or maintenance, then Tenant may proceed to take the required action upon delivery of an additional ten (10) days’ notice to Landlord specifying that Tenant is taking such required action, and if such action was required under the terms of this Lease to be taken by Xxxxxxxx and was not taken by Landlord within such additional ten (10)-day period, then Tenant shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement by Landlord of Tenant’s reasonable direct out-of- pocket costs and expenses in taking such action. If Landlord provides written notice to Tenant reasonably objecting to the necessity or appropriateness of the Tenant requested repair and/or maintenance. Tenant’s sole remedy shall be to claim a default by Landlord and file an action in a court of competent jurisdiction in connection therewith. In the event Tenant takes such action, such work must be performed in a first-class manner and in compliance with all applicable laws; and, if such work will affect the Building’s systems and equipment or the structural integrity of the Building, Tenant shall use only those contractors used by Landlord in the Building for work on such systems and equipment (or structural components) (and Landlord shall cause such contractors to charge Tenant competitive rates for such 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 (as defined in Section 8.1). Further, if Landlord does not deliver a detailed written objection to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice by Tenant of Tenant’s costs of taking action which Xxxxxx claims should have been taken by Xxxxxxxx, and if such invoice from Tenant sets forth a reasonably particularized breakdown of Tenant’s costs and expenses in connection with taking such action on behalf of Landlord, then Tenant shall be entitled to deduct from Base Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease, the amount set forth in such invoice. If, however, Xxxxxxxx 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 be entitled to such deduction from Base Rent, but as Xxxxxx’s sole remedy, Tenant may proceed to claim a default by Landlord and file an action in a court of competent jurisdiction in connection therewith.
5.17 Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations for the Project attached as Exhibit D and such reasonable amendments thereto as Landlord may adopt from time to time with prior notice to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that Rule No. 2 of such rules and regulations shall in no event prevent Tenant from having snacks delivered to the Leased Premises, or from having lunches or other events catered in the Leased Premises.

Tenant shall advise its insurers of the foregoing and such waiver shall be a part of each policy maintained by Tenant which applies to the Leased Premises, any part of the Project or Tenant’s use and occupancy of any part thereof.
7.6 Condemnation.
(a) If the Leased Premises are taken under the power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of such power (all of which are referred to herein as “condemnation”), this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs (the “date of taking”). If the Leased Premises or any portion of the Project is taken by condemnation to such an extent as to render the Leased Premises untenantable as reasonably determined by Landlord or Tenant, this Lease shall, at the option of either party to be exercised in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such taking, forthwith cease and terminate as of the date of taking.

No award to Landlord shall be apportioned and, subject to Tenant’s rights hereinafter specified Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any right of Tenant in
30
any award to Landlord made for any taking. So long as such claim will not reduce any award otherwise payable to Landlord under this Section 7.6, Tenant may seek to recover, at its cost and expense, as a separate claim, any damages or awards payable on a taking of the Leased Premises to compensate for the unamortized cost paid by Tenant for the alterations, additions or improvements, if any, made by Tenant during the initial improvement of the Leased Premises and for any alterations, or for Tenant’s personal property taken, or for interference with or interruption of Tenant’s business (including goodwill), or for Tenant’s removal and relocation expenses.

(b) If portions of the Project outside the boundaries of the Leased Premises are damaged or destroyed (whether or not the Leased Premises are also damaged or destroyed) and the Leased Premises and the Project can, in Landlord’s opinion, both be made tenantable with all damage repaired (excluding Tenant’s personal property, trade fixtures, equipment and any Tenant Improvements or alterations installed by or on behalf of Tenant) within six (6) months from the date of damage or destruction, and provided that Landlord determines that it is economically feasible, then Landlord shall be obligated to rebuild the same to substantially their former condition to the extent that the same is feasible (subject to reasonable changes which Landlord shall deem desirable and such changes as may be required by applicable law) and shall proceed with reasonable diligence to do so and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 7.7(a) or 7.7(b) above, Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair, reconstruct or restore the Leased Premises if (i) the cost to repair and restore the Building is twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the replacement cost of the entire Building prior to such damage or destruction, (ii) the holder of any mortgage or beneficiary of any deed of trust requires that Landlord’s insurance proceeds be paid to it, or (iii) when any damage thereto or to the Building occurs during the last eighteen (18) months of the Term.

(e) During any period when Xxxxxx’s use of the Leased Premises is significantly impaired by damage or destruction, Base Rent shall xxxxx in proportion to the degree to which Xxxxxx’s use of the Leased Premises is impaired and Tenant does not actually use the Leased Premises until such time as the Leased Premises are made tenantable as reasonably
determined by Xxxxxxxx; provided that no such rental abatement shall be permitted if the casualty is the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives.
(f) The proceeds from any insurance paid by reason of damage to or destruction of the Project or any part thereof insured by Landlord shall belong to and be paid to Landlord, subject to the rights of any mortgagee of Landlord’s interest in the Project or the beneficiary of any deed of trust which constitutes an encumbrance thereon. Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for the repair, restoration and replacement of (i) its fixtures, furnishings, equipment, machinery, merchandise and personal property in the Leased Premises, and (ii) its alteration, additions and improvements.

(5) Bankruptcy.

obligations of Tenant hereunder, such trustee or Tenant shall, within such time period as may be permitted by the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction, cure all defaults of Tenant hereunder outstanding as of the date of the affirmance of this Lease and provide to Landlord such adequate assurances as may be necessary to ensure Landlord of the continued performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease;

34
(2) Continuation After Default. Even though Tenant has breached this Lease and/or abandoned the Leased Premises, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession under subsection 7.8(b)(1) hereof in writing, and Landlord may enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including (but without limitation) the right to recover Rent as it becomes due, and Landlord, without terminating this Lease, may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a landlord under Section 1951.4 of the Civil Code of the Slate of California or any amended or successor code section. Acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet the Leased Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon application of Landlord to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute an election to terminate Xxxxxx’s right to possession. If Landlord elects to relet the Leased Premises for the account of Tenant, the rent received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of tiny indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations or repairs to the Leased Premises; fourth, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the balance, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as it becomes due. If that portion of rent received from the reletting which is applied against the Rent due hereunder is less than the amount of the Rent due, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord promptly upon demand by Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as determined, any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such reletting or in making alterations and repairs to the Leased Premises, which are not covered by the rent received from the reletting.
(c) Damages Upon Termination. Should Landlord terminate this Lease pursuant to the provisions of subsection 7.8(b)(1) hereof, Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies of a landlord provided by Section 1951.2 of the Civil Code of the State of California. Upon such termination, in addition to any other rights and remedies to which Landlord may be entitled under applicable law. Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant: (i) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent and other amounts which had been earned at the time of termination; (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 Rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Xxxxxx’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom. The “worth at the time of award” of the amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) shall be computed with interest at the lesser of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum rate then allowed by law. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to in clause (iii) shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award plus one percent (1%).
(d) Computation of Rent for Purposes of Default. For purposes of computing unpaid Rent which would have accrued and become payable under this Lease pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.8(c), unpaid Rent shall consist of the sum of:
35
(1) the total Base Rent for the balance of the Term, plus
(2) a computation of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Basic Operating Costs and of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Property Taxes for the balance of the Term, the assumed amount for the Computation Year of the default and each future Computation Year in the Term to be equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Basic Operating Costs and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Property Taxes, respectively, for the Computation Year immediately prior to the year in which default occurs, compounded at a per annum rate equal to the mean average rate of inflation for the preceding five (5) calendar years as determined by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index (All Urban Consumers, all items (1982- 84” 100)) for the Metropolitan Area or Region in which the Project is located. If such Index is discontinued or revised, the average rate of inflation shall be determined by reference to the index designated as the successor or substitute index by the government of the United States.
(e) Late Charge. If any payment required to be made by Tenant under this Lease is not received by Landlord on or before the date the same is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the delinquent amount. The parties agree that Landlord would incur costs not contemplated by this Lease by virtue of such delinquencies, including without limitation administrative, collection, processing and accounting expenses, the amount of which would be extremely difficult to compute, and the amount stated herein represents a reasonable estimate thereof. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s breach or default with respect to such delinquency, or prevent Landlord from exercising any of Landlord’s other rights and remedies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will not assess a late charge until Landlord has given written notice of such late payment for the first late payments in any calendar year and after Tenant has not cured such late payment within five (5) business days from receipt of such notice. After Landlord has given written notice of one (I) late payment in any calendar year, no other notices will be required during the remainder of the applicable calendar year for a late charge to be assessed to Tenant.
(f) Interest on Past-Due Obligations. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, any Rent due Landlord hereunder, other than late charges, which is not received by Landlord on the date on which it was due. shall bear interest from the day after it was due at the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum rate then allowed by law, in addition to the late charge provided for in Section 7.8(e).
(g) Landlord’s Right to Perform. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth elsewhere in this Lease, in the event Tenant fails to perform any affirmative duty or obligation of Tenant under this Lease, provided Landlord has delivered to Tenant advance written notice of Xxxxxxxx’s intent with regard to the following, then Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) perform such duty or obligation on Tenant’s behalf without waiving any of Landlord’s rights in connection therewith or releasing Tenant from any of its obligations or such default, including, without limitation, the obtaining of insurance policies or governmental licenses, permits or approvals. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for the costs and expenses of any such performance (including penalties, interest and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith). Such costs and expenses incurred by Landlord shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder.
36
(h) Remedies Cumulative. All rights, privileges and elections or remedies of Landlord are cumulative and not alternative with all other rights and remedies at law or in equity to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(i) Waiver. Tenant waives any right of redemption or relief from forfeiture under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179 and California Civil Code Section 3275, or under any other present or future law in the event Tenant is evicted and Landlord lakes possession of the Leased Premises by reason of a default.
Article 8.
Tenant Options
8.1 Option to Renew.
(a) Landlord hereby grants to Tenant one (1) option (the “Option”) to extend the Term of this Lease for an additional period of seven (7) years (the “Option Term”), all on the following terms and conditions:
(1) The Option must be exercised, if at all, by written notice irrevocably exercising the Option (“Option Notice”) delivered by Xxxxxx, to Landlord not later than nine (9) months and not earlier than twelve (12) months prior to the Term Expiration Date. Further, at Landlord’s option, the Option shall not be deemed to be properly exercised if, as of the date of the Option Notice or at the Term Expiration Date, (i) Tenant is in default under this Lease beyond all applicable notice and cure periods, (ii) Tenant has assigned this Lease or sublet more than forty percent (40%) of the Leased Premises (other than to an affiliate or subsidiary of Tenant), (iii) Tenant, or Tenant’s affiliate or subsidiary, is in possession of less than sixty percent (60%) of the square footage of the Leased Premises, or (iv) Tenant has been in default beyond all applicable notice and cure periods at any time during the Term. Provided Tenant has properly and timely exercised the Option, the Term of this Lease shall be extended for the period of the Option Term (and the Option Term shall be part of the “Term”), and all terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect, except that (i) the Tenant Improvements, if any, set forth in Exhibit B shall not apply to the Option Term (Tenant shall accept the Leased Premises in its AS IS condition existing prior to Option Term), (ii) the Base Rent shall be modified as set forth in subsection 8.1(a)(2) below, and (iii) Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Term.
(2) The Base Rent payable for the initial year of the Option Term shall be the greater of (i) the Base Rent payable on the Term Expiration Date, or (ii) the then-current rental rate per rentable square foot (as further defined below, “FMRR”) being agreed to (with annual market increases) in new and renewal leases by Landlord and other landlords of Class A office buildings in the downtown Oakland submarket of Oakland, California which are comparable in quality, location and prestige to the Building (“Comparable Buildings”) and tenants leasing space in the Building or Comparable Buildings. As used herein, “FMRR” shall mean the rental rate per rentable square foot for which Landlord and/or other landlords are entering into new and renewal leases for office space in the Building and/or Comparable Buildings (“Comparative Transactions”), taking into consideration fair market annual increases and the value of existing tenant improvements in the Leased Premises. To the extent such other Comparable Buildings have
37
historically received lower or higher rents than the rents in the Building, then for the purpose of arriving at the FMRR, such rates when used to establish the FMRR in the Building shall be increased or decreased as appropriate to reflect such historical differences. Landlord shall provide its determination of the FMRR to Tenant within twenty (20) days after Landlord receives the Option Notice. Tenant shall have ten (10) days (“Tenant’s Review Period”) after receipt of Landlord’s notice of the FMRR within which to accept such FMRR or to reasonably object thereto in writing. In the event Tenant objects to the FMRR submitted by Landlord, Landlord and Xxxxxx shall attempt to agree upon such FMRR. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement on such FMRR within ten (10) days following Tenant’s Review Period (the “Outside Agreement Date”), then each party shall place in a separate sealed envelope its final proposal as to FMRR and such determination shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with subparagraph 8.1(b) below.
(b) Landlord and Tenant shall meet with each other within three (3) business days of the Outside Agreement Date and exchange the scaled envelopes and then open such envelopes in each other’s presence. If Landlord and Tenant do not mutually agree upon the FMRR within one (1) business day of the exchange and opening of envelopes, then, within ten (10) business days of the exchange and opening of envelopes, Landlord and Tenant shall agree upon and jointly appoint one arbitrator who shall be by profession be a real estate appraiser or broker who shall have been active over the ten (10) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of comparable commercial properties in the vicinity of the Building. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall consult with such broker or appraiser as to his or her opinion as to FMRR prior to the appointment. The determination of the arbitrator shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted FMRR for the Leased Premises is the closer to the actual rental rate per rentable square foot for new leases for Comparative Transactions. Such arbitrator may hold such meetings and require such additional information as the arbitrator, in his or her sole discretion, determines is necessary. In addition, Landlord or Tenant may submit to the arbitrator with a copy to the other party within two (2) business days after the appointment of the arbitrator any data and additional information that such party deems relevant to the determination by the arbitrator (“Data”) and the other party may submit a reply in writing within two (2) business days after receipt of such Data.
(1) The arbitrator shall, within thirty (30) days of his or her appointment, reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted FMRR, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant of such determination.
(2) The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.
(3) If Landlord and Xxxxxx fail to agree upon and appoint such arbitrator, then the appointment of the arbitrator shall be made by the American Arbitration Association.
(4) The cost of arbitration shall be paid by the losing party.
(5) The arbitration proceeding and all evidence given or discovered pursuant thereto shall be maintained in confidence by all parties.
38

Landlord shall keep Tenant reasonably informed of the date of a potential vacancy for a 6th Floor Space. Before entering into a new lease for a 6th Floor Space with a party other than the current tenant of the applicable 6th Floor Space or a tenant with pre-existing rights, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the terms and conditions upon which Landlord is willing to lease such space (the “Offer Notice”). If Tenant wishes to exercise its option to lease the applicable 6th Floor Space, Tenant, shall, within five (5) business days after receipt of the Offer Notice, deliver written notice to Landlord of Tenant’s irrevocable exercise of its option to lease such space on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice. If Tenant fails to respond to the Offer Notice within the five (5) business day period, the right of first offer set forth in this Section 8.2 for the applicable 6th Floor Space shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, and Landlord shall be free to lease such space to any other persons or entities, free of any restrictions set forth herein; provided, however, if such space is not then leased by Landlord within the following one hundred eighty (180) days. Tenant’s right of first offer to lease such space as provided hereinabove shall again apply. This right of first offer shall only be exercisable by the originally named Tenant under this Lease and only if Tenant has not sublet any portion of the Leased Premises for a term that has at least twelve (12) months of term remaining at the time Tenant receives such Offer Notice (and Tenant may not extend the term of such sublease), and Tenant has no intention to sublet the applicable 6th Floor Space; in addition, this right of first offer shall only be exercisable during the Option Term if Tenant has not sublet any portion of the Leased Premises during the last twelve (12) months of the initial Term or at any time during the Option Term. This right of first offer shall be suspended during any period in which Tenant is in default (beyond any applicable notice and cure period) until said default has been cured. The period of time within which this right of first offer may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise such rights because of the foregoing provisions. Time is of the essence. In the event Landlord relocates the Leased Premises pursuant to Section 2.3 above, if Tenant has not yet exercised its rights pursuant to this Section 8.2, the rights granted to Tenant hereunder shall apply with regard to the floor of the Building immediately above the relocated Leased Premises.

Landlord, the voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Xxxxxx, the mutual termination or cancellation hereof, or a termination hereof by Landlord for default by Tenant, shall automatically terminate any sublease or lesser estate in the Leased Premises; provided, however, Landlord shall, in the event of any such surrender, termination or cancellation, have the option to continue any one or all of any existing subtenancies. Xxxxxxxx’s failure within thirty (30) days following any such event to make any written election to the contrary by written notice to the holder of any such lesser interest, shall constitute Landlord’s election to have such event constitute the termination of such interest.

However, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may from time to time, at Landlord’s sole option, renovate, improve, alter, or modify (collectively, the “Renovations”) the Building, Leased Premises, and/or Project, common areas, systems and equipment, roof, and structural portions of the same, which Renovations may include, without limitation, (i) modifying the common areas and tenant spaces to comply with applicable laws, including regulations relating to the physically disabled, seismic conditions, and building safety and security, and (ii) installing new carpeting, lighting, and wall coverings in the Building common areas, and in connection with such Renovations, Landlord may, among other things, erect scaffolding or other necessary structures in the Building, limit or

eliminate access to portions of the Project, including portions of the common areas, or perform work in the Building, which work may create noise, dust or leave debris in the Building. Tenant hereby agrees that such Renovations and Xxxxxxxx’s actions in connection with 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 or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Xxxxxx’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 Leased Premises or of Tenant’s personal property or improvements resulting from the Renovations or Landlord’s actions in connection with such Renovations, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Renovations or Xxxxxxxx’s actions in connection with such Renovations.

The determination of the extent to which such security equipment, systems and procedures are reasonably required shall be made in the sole judgment, and shall be the sole responsibility, of Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that it has neither received nor relied upon any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of Landlord with respect to the safety or security of the Leased Premises or the Project or any part thereof, and further acknowledges that Xxxxxx has made its own independent determinations with respect to all such matters.
9.24 No Easement For Light, Air and View. This Lease conveys to Tenant no rights for any light, air or view. No diminution of light, air or view, or any impairment of the visibility of the Leased Premises from inside or outside the Building, by any structure or other object that may hereafter be erected (whether or not by Landlord) shall entitle Tenant to any reduction of Rent under this Lease, constitute an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, result in any liability of Landlord to Tenant, or in any other way affect this Lease or Tenant’s obligations hereunder.
9.25 OFAC Compliance.
(a) Tenant represents and warrants that (i) Tenant and each person or entity owning an interest in Tenant is (A) not currently identified on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) and/or on any other similar list maintained by OFAC pursuant to any authorizing statute, executive order or regulation (collectively, the “List”), and (B) not a person or entity with whom a citizen of the United States is prohibited to engage in transactions by any trade embargo, economic sanction, or other prohibition of United States law, regulation, or Executive Order of the President of the United States, (ii) none of the funds or other assets of Tenant constitute property of, or are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any Embargoed Person
44
(as hereinafter defined), (iii) no Embargoed Person has any interest of any nature whatsoever in Tenant (whether directly or indirectly), (iv) none of the funds of Tenant have been derived from any unlawful activity with the result
that the investment in Tenant is prohibited by law or that the Lease is in violation of law, and (v) Tenant has implemented procedures, and will consistently apply those procedures, to ensure the foregoing representations and warranties remain true and correct at all times. The term “Embargoed Person” means any person, entity or government subject to trade restrictions under U.S. law, including but not limited to, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. §1701 et seq., The Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 1 et seq., and any Executive Orders or regulations promulgated thereunder with the result that the investment in Tenant is prohibited by law or Tenant is in violation of law.
(b) Tenant covenants and agrees (i) to comply with all requirements of law relating to money laundering, anti-terrorism, trade embargos and economic sanctions, now or hereafter in effect, (ii) to immediately notify Landlord in writing if any of the representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this paragraph or the preceding paragraph are no longer true or have been breached or if Tenant has a reasonable basis to believe that they may no longer be true or have been breached, (iii) not to use funds from any “Prohibited Person” (as such term is defined in the September 24, 2001 Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism) to make any payment due to Landlord under the Lease and (iv) at the request of Landlord, to provide such information as may be requested by Landlord to determine Tenant’s compliance with the terms hereof.
(c) Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Xxxxxx’s inclusion on the List at any time during the Term shall be a material default of the Lease. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not permit the Leased Premises or any portion thereof to be used or occupied by any person or entity on the List or by any Embargoed Person (on a permanent, temporary or transient basis), and any such use or occupancy of the Leased Premises by any such person or entity shall be a material default of the Lease.
9.26 Mortgagee Protection. Upon any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will give written notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of trust or mortgagee of a mortgage covering the Leased Premises who has provided Tenant with notice of their interest together with an address for receiving notice, and shall offer such beneficiary or mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Leased Premises by power of sale or a judicial foreclosure, if such should prove necessary to effect a cure. If such default cannot be cured within such time period, then such additional time as may be necessary will be given to such beneficiary or mortgagee to effect such cure so long as such beneficiary or mortgagee has commenced the cure within the original time period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion, in which event this Lease shall not be terminated while such cure is being diligently pursued. Xxxxxx agrees that each lender to whom this Lease has been assigned by Xxxxxxxx is an express third party beneficiary hereof. Tenant shall not make any prepayment of Rent more than one (1) month in advance without the prior written consent of each such lender. Tenant waives the collection of any deposit from each such lender or purchaser at a foreclosure sale unless said lender or purchaser shall have actually received and not refunded the deposit. Xxxxxx agrees to make all payments under this Lease to the lender with the most senior encumbrance upon receiving a direction, in writing, to pay said amounts to such lender. Tenant
45

9.27 Intentionally Omitted.
9.28 Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either party against the other on any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Xxxxxx created hereby, Xxxxxx’s use or occupancy of the Leased Premises or any claim or injury or damage.
9.29 Counterparts; Signatures. This Lease may be executed in counterparts. All executed counterparts shall constitute one agreement, and each counterpart shall be deemed an original. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that facsimile signatures or signatures transmitted by electronic mail in so-called “pdf” format shall be legal and binding and shall have the same full force and effect as if an original of this Lease had been delivered. Landlord and Tenant (i) intend to be bound by the signatures on any document sent by facsimile or electronic mail, (ii) arc aware that the other party will rely on such signatures, and (iii) hereby waive any defenses to the enforcement of the terms of this Lease based on the foregoing forms of signature.

In the event that this Lease or any document contemplated hereby could, in the opinion of counsel to Landlord, result in or cause an Adverse Event, Xxxxxx agrees to cooperate with Landlord in negotiating an amendment or modification thereof and shall at the request of Landlord execute and deliver such documents reasonably required to effect such amendment or modification; provided, however, in the event Tenant notifies Landlord that Xxxxxx has reasonably determines that Tenant will incur an expense in cooperating with such negotiation and/or in executing or delivering any such documents, which notice must include Xxxxxx’s estimate of the expenses it will incur, Tenant shall not be obligated to cooperate in such negotiation or execute and deliver such documents unless Xxxxxxxx has agreed in advance, in writing, to reimburse Tenant for such estimated expenses within fifteen (15) days following Xxxxxxxx’s receipt of Tenant’s billing of its actual expenses so incurred. Any amendment or modification pursuant to this Section 9.31 shall be structured so that the economic results to
46
Landlord and Tenant shall be substantially similar to those set forth in this Lease without regard to such amendment or modification. Without limiting any of Landlord’s other rights under this Section 9.31, Landlord may waive the receipt of any amount payable to Landlord hereunder and such waiver shall constitute an amendment or modification of this Lease with respect to such payment.
9.32 Landlord’s Reservations. In addition to the other rights of Landlord under this Lease, Landlord reserves the right to change the street address and/or name of the Building without being deemed to be guilty of an eviction, actual or constructive, or a disturbance or interruption of the business of Tenant or Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Leased Premises.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that any improvement or installation that is not referenced in Exhibit X-x shall be Tenant’s responsibility and shall be part of Tenant’s Work (as defined below), including, without limitation, phone and data cabling, telephone conduits, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and any specialized office improvements.

Any disapproval shall include a detailed explanation of the rejected components of the plans.
2. Permits. If necessary, Landlord shall, as part of the Tenant Improvements, secure all permits and the approval of all government authorities with jurisdiction over the Building with respect to the construction of the Tenant Improvements; provided, however, if needed, Tenant shall cooperate fully with Landlord with respect to the foregoing.
3. Landlord’s Review. Xxxxxxxx’s review and approval of Tenant’s Plans or the Construction Documents shall not constitute, and Landlord shall not be deemed to have made, any representation or warranty as to the suitability of the Leased Premises or the Tenant Improvements for Tenant’s needs.
4. Construction. The Tenant Improvements shall be completed in accordance with the Final Construction Documents by the Contractor in a good and workmanlike manner.
5. Landlord’s Contribution. With respect to the costs of preparing Tenant’s Plans and the Construction Documents and the construction costs of the Tenant Improvements and all other related costs, Landlord shall provide Tenant an allowance in the maximum amount of $40.00 per rentable square foot of the Leased Premises, for a total of $750,960.00 based on 18,774 rentable square feet (“Landlord’s Contribution”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s Contribution may not be utilized by Tenant until Tenant deposits with Landlord the necessary funds in excess of Landlord’s Contribution (“Tenant’s Construction Funds”) to utilize for the construction of the Tenant Improvements, if applicable, or at Tenant’s option, Tenant may provide the proportionate share of Tenant’s Construction Funds on a monthly basis in advance of construction of the Tenant Improvements planned for the upcoming month based on the construction schedule (monthly payments to the Contractor shall be made pari passu from Landlord’s Contribution on the one hand, and Tenant’s Construction Funds, on the other hand, until such funds are exhausted). Any
1
costs related to the construction of the Tenant Improvements in excess of Landlord’s Contribution and Xxxxxx’s Construction Funds shall be paid promptly by Tenant within fifteen (15) days following Xxxxxx’s receipt of Landlord’s billing therefor. Any portion of Landlord’s Contribution not utilized by Tenant on or before the later to occur of six (6) months after Landlord delivers possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant and January 1,2017 shall accrue to Landlord.

7. Requirements for Work Performed by Tenant. All work (including all fit-up work) performed by Xxxxxx or Tenant’s contractor or subcontractors prior to initially commencing business operations in the Leased Premises (“Tenant’s Work”) shall be subject to the following additional requirements:
(a) Such work shall not proceed until Landlord has approved in writing (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed): (i) the amount and coverage of public liability and property damage insurance, with Landlord named as an additional insured, on such liability coverage carried by Xxxxxx’s contractor, (ii) complete and detailed plans and specifications for such work (among other things, Landlord may condition its approval of any improvements on Tenant’s agreement to remove them prior to the Term Expiration Date, repair any damage resulting from such removal and restore the Leased Premises to their condition existing prior to the date of the installation of such improvements, including, without limitation, in the event Tenant decides to paint certain portions of the Leased Premises), and (iii) a schedule for the work.
(b) All work shall be done in conformity with a valid permit when required, a copy of which shall be furnished to Landlord before such work is commenced. In any case, all such work shall be performed in accordance with all applicable laws. Notwithstanding any failure by Landlord to object to any such work, Landlord shall have no responsibility for Tenant’s failure to comply with applicable laws.
(c) Tenant shall be responsible for cleaning the Leased Premises, the Building and the Project and removing all debris in connection with its work, except for work performed by the Contractor. All completed work shall be subject to inspection and acceptance by Landlord. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the actual out-of-pocket cost for all extra expense incurred by Landlord by reason of faulty work done by Xxxxxx or Xxxxxx’s contractor or by reason of inadequate cleanup by Tenant or Xxxxxx’s contractor.
(d) Xxxxxx (and Xxxxxx’s contractors, vendors, agents, and employees) performing Tenant’s Work shall not disrupt or delay the performance of the Tenant Improvements.
8. Tenant Delay. If the completion of the Tenant Improvements is actually delayed (i) at the request, in writing, of Tenant, (ii) by Xxxxxx’s failure to comply with the provisions of
2
this Exhibit B (including failure to pay any sums payable by Tenant, failure to provide or approve certain items within the time periods specified herein, or failure to comply with the early access terms and conditions) or failure to reasonably cooperate with Landlord, (iii) by changes in the Tenant’s Plans or the Construction Documents, as the case may be, ordered by Tenant, (iv) because Tenant chooses to have additional work performed by Landlord (collectively, “Tenant Delay”), then Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and any expenses occasioned by such Tenant Delay including, without limitation, any costs and expenses attributable to increases in labor or materials; and, if such delay actually delays the Term Commencement Date, then the Term Commencement Date shall be the date that would have been the Term Commencement Date but not for Tenant’s Delay.
9. Substantial Completion. “Substantial Completion” shall mean (and the Tenant Improvements shall be deemed “Substantially Complete”) when installation of the Tenant Improvements by the Contractor has occurred in accordance with the provisions of this Exhibit B. Substantial Completion shall be deemed to have occurred notwithstanding a requirement to complete punchlist items or similar corrective work.
10. Punchlist. Upon Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord and Tenant shall inspect the improvements together and prepare a punchlist. The punchlist shall list incomplete, minor or insubstantial details or construction and needed finishing touches that do not unreasonably interfere with Xxxxxx’s use of the Leased Premises. Landlord shall complete the punchlist items in an expeditious manner.
11. Early Access. Depending on the progress of the construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall be given access to the Leased Premises up to two (2) weeks prior to the Term Commencement Date in order for Tenant to install Tenant’s furniture, trade fixtures, equipment, telephone networks and computer networks, and to perform general set-up for Tenant’s business operations. From the date Tenant is given early access to the Leased Premises as set forth above through the Term Commencement Date, Tenant shall be subject to all of the covenants in the Lease, except that Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent shall commence in accordance with the Basic Lease Information sheet of the Lease; provided, however, (i) Tenant shall not enter the Leased Premises unless they are accompanied by a person designated by Landlord, if required by Landlord, and Tenant shall provide to Landlord at least 24 hours prior written notice prior to such entry, (ii) Tenant shall exercise such right of access in a manner that comports with the requirements of all relevant insurance policies, (iii) Tenant (and Xxxxxx’s contractors, vendors, agents, and employees) shall not disrupt or delay the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and (iv) Tenant (and Tenant’s contractors, vendors, agents, and employees) shall in no event give directions to (or otherwise interfere with) the Contractor or others performing the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall indemnify and hold the Landlord free and harmless from any and all liens, costs, and liabilities or expenses incurred in connection with any early access of Tenant.

3

The Building, the land on which such building is located, the parking garage located adjacent to the Building owned by Landlord but located on a separate tax parcel (the “Parking Garage”), and the sidewalks and similar improvements and easements associated with the foregoing or the operation thereof, are referred to collectively herein as the “Project.”
X. Xxxxxxxx is the successor-in-interest to Original Landlord and owner of the Project.
C. The Term of the Lease with respect to the Existing Premises is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2023.
D. Tenant desires to lease additional space in the Building containing (i) approximately 18,744 rentable square feet (16,299 usable square feet) consisting of the entire fourth (4th) floor of the Building (the “4th Floor Space”) and (ii) approximately 18,967 rentable square feet (16,326 usable square feet) consisting of the entire sixth (6th) floor of the Building (the “6th Floor Space”) for a total of approximately 37,711 rentable square feet (32,625 usable square feet) (collectively, the “Expansion Space”).
X. Xxxxxxxx and Tenant hereby desire to amend the Lease in order to provide for, among other things, the expansion of the Existing Premises and an extension of the Term of the Lease with respect to the Existing Premises, on the terms and conditions set forth below.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby is acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Lease. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, all references to the “Lease” in the Lease and in this Amendment shall hereinafter be deemed to refer to the Lease, as amended hereby.
1
2. Addition of Expansion Space.
(a) Expansion Space. In addition to Tenant’s lease of the Existing Premises, Tenant shall lease the Expansion Space for the Permitted Use as follows, and as each portion of the Expansion Space is added to the Leased Premises Tenant is leasing under the Lease, as amended hereby, the Existing Premises and such portion of the Expansion Space are
sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Leased Premises” and, except as otherwise provided in this Amendment, shall be subject to all of the terms of the Lease applicable to the Leased Premises, as defined therein.
(b) Landlord’s Representation and Warranty. Landlord hereby represents to Tenant that the 6th Floor Space is currently leased to HealthNet pursuant to a lease that expires June 14, 2018. Landlord acknowledges that, in order for Landlord to perform the 6th Floor Work (defined below) and deliver the 6th Floor Space to Tenant by the E6FSDD (defined below), HealthNet must vacate the 6th Floor Space no later than thirty (30) days after such expiration date, and therefore Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable diligence to cause HealthNet to vacate the entire 6th Floor Space by no later than thirty (30) days after such expiration date, and, if HealthNet does not so vacate the entire 6th Floor Space by such date, Landlord shall enforce its rights under such lease to cause HealthNet to vacate the entire 6th Floor Space as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible, including, without limitation, Landlord’s right under such lease to re-enter and take possession of such 6th Floor Space without process, or by any legal process in force in the State of California.
(c) Commencement Date. Commencing on the earliest to occur of: (i) the date on which Tenant occupies any portion of the 4th Floor Space or the 6th Floor Space, as the case may be; (ii) the date on which the 4th Floor Work or the 6th Floor Work (as defined herein) is Substantially Completed (as defined in Exhibit B attached hereto); or (iii) the date on which the 4th Floor Work or the 6th Floor Work, as the case may be, would have been Substantially Completed but for the occurrence of any Tenant Delay Days (as defined in Exhibit B attached hereto) (such dates referred to herein as the “4th Floor Space Commencement Date” or “4FSCD” and the “6th Floor Space Commencement Date” or “6FSCD”), and expiring on the Expansion Space Expiration Date (as defined below), Tenant shall lease the 4th Floor Space as depicted on Exhibit A-l attached hereto and the 6th Floor Space as depicted on Exhibit A-2 attached hereto, all subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease, as amended hereby. As used herein, the “4th Floor Work” and the “6th Floor Work” shall mean and refer to those certain improvements to the 4th Floor Space and the 6th Floor Space, as the case may be, to be performed by Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Amendment and Exhibit B hereto, including the Connecting Stairwell and/or a Light Well, as provided in Exhibit B hereto. The 4th Floor Work and the 6th Floor Work shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Expansion Space Work.” In connection with the Expansion Space Work, Landlord shall perform certain improvements to the Existing Premises, as indicated in the Expansion Space Plans (as defined below) approved by the parties. For purposes of this Amendment, such improvements shall be included in the definition of the Expansion Space Work. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord will be performing the Expansion Space Work during the Term (as extended hereby), and Tenant shall not be entitled to any additional abatement or reduction of Rent or any other amount payable under the Lease in connection therewith, nor shall the Expansion Space Work be deemed an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant. Tenant shall at all times cooperate reasonably and in good faith in
2
connection with Xxxxxxxx’s prosecution of the Expansion Space Work, including, without limitation, by granting Landlord access to the Existing Premises and the Expansion Space and by promptly responding to matters arising in connection with the Expansion Space Work.
(d) Submission of Permit Application. Within two (2) days following Xxxxxxxx’s approval of the Architectural Drawings pursuant to the terms of Exhibit B hereto, but no later than January 1, 2018 for the 4th Floor Work (and for any remodeling work to be performed within the Existing Premises), and no later than May 1, 2018 for the 6th Floor Work (and for any remodeling work to be performed in the Existing Premises in connection with Landlord’s construction of the Connecting Stairwell and/or a Light Well, as provided in Exhibit B hereto), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a complete set of Architectural Drawings for the 4th Floor Work and for the 6th Floor Work, as the case may be (the “4th Floor Plans,” the “6th Floor Plans” and collectively the “Expansion Space Plans”). Any day beyond January 1, 2018 and May 1, 2018, as the case may be, that Xxxxxx takes to deliver the 4th Floor Plans and the 6th Floor Plans, as the case may be, shall result in a deduction of one day of rent abatement to which Xxxxxx is entitled hereunder. Landlord shall submit the approved Architectural Drawings, along with a permit application worksheet, application fees and all other documentation and information required by the City of Oakland (the “City”) (collectively, the “Permit Application”) in form and substance complete and accurate for the City to approve a permit for the construction of the Expansion Space Work on the 4th Floor Space and the 6th Floor Space, as the case may be (in each instance, a “Permit”). Following submission of the Permit Application to the City, drawings for any modifications to the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems of the Expansion Space and the Building required for the Expansion Space Work (the “MEP Plans”) and the Fire Life Safety drawings (the “FLS Drawings”) shall be prepared by Landlord. Tenant shall make any changes requested by Landlord to the Expansion Space Plans reasonably necessary for Landlord to obtain City approval for the applicable Permit Application within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s written request therefor (it being agreed that each day of such ten (10) business day period that it takes Tenant to make such changes shall be deemed a Tenant Delay Day). Landlord shall not be responsible for the accuracy of Xxxxxx’s Architectural Drawings or any item provided by Tenant. Tenant shall, at Xxxxxxxx’s request, sign each Permit Application in acknowledgment thereof.
(e) Estimated Delivery Date. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Expansion Space Work to be Substantially Completed as follows: (i) with respect to the 4th Floor Work, the date of Substantial Completion shall be the one hundred twentieth (120th) day after the date Tenant submits the Expansion Space Plans for the 4th
Floor Space to Landlord in form sufficiently complete for Landlord’s submission of the Permit Application for the 4th Floor Work to the City, which Substantial Completion Landlord estimates shall occur on or about May 23, 2018, it being agreed that Landlord shall not be required to deliver possession of the 4th Floor Space to Tenant any earlier than May 23, 2018 (the “Estimated 4th Floor Space Delivery Date” or “E4FSDD”); and (ii) with respect to the 6th Floor Work, provided Tenant has submitted the Expansion Space Plans for the 6th Floor Space to Landlord in form sufficiently complete for Landlord’s submission of the Permit Application for the 6th Floor Work by no later than May 1, 2018, the date of Substantial Completion shall be November 1,2018 (the “Estimated 6th Floor Space Delivery Date” or “E6FSDD”). If Landlord is unable to tender possession of the 4th Floor Space or the 6th Floor Space in the condition required hereunder by the E4FSDD or the E6FSDD, as the case may be, then: (1) the validity of this Amendment shall not be affected or impaired thereby; (2) Landlord shall not be in default hereunder or be liable for damages therefor;
3
and (3) subject to Xxxxxx’s partial rent abatement rights as provided in Section 2(f) below and Xxxxxx’s termination rights as provided in Section 2(g) below, Tenant shall accept possession of the 4th Floor Space and the 6th Floor Space when Landlord tenders possession thereof to Tenant. The E4FSDD and the E6FSDD, as the case may be, shall be extended one day for each day of delay caused by or attributable to a Tenant Delay Day or force majeure event, as such term is defined in Section 9.12 of the Lease (it being understood by the parties hereto that for purposes of this Amendment, the City’s approval of the Permit Application and granting or issuing a Permit will not be considered a force majeure event). Furthermore, if the City requires revisions to the Permit Application for any reason involving the Expansion Space Plans (regardless of fault), the E4FSDD and the E6FSDD, as the case may be, and the 4th Floor Outside Delivery Date and the 6th Floor Outside Delivery Date, as the case may be, shall be extended one day for each day that Tenant takes to deliver revised Expansion Space Plans incorporating all such revisions to Landlord. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall have three (3) business days following the City’s request to deliver such revised Expansion Space Plans to Landlord. Any day beyond such three (3) business day period that Tenant takes to deliver such revised Expansion Space Plans to Landlord shall result in a deduction of one day of rent abatement to which Xxxxxx is entitled hereunder.
(f) Partial Rent Abatement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the 4th Floor Space or the 6th Floor Space to Tenant by the E4FSDD or the E6FSDD, as the case may be, and such delay is due solely to Landlord’s acts or omissions and not caused by or attributable to a Tenant Delay Day or force majeure event, then Tenant shall, as its sole remedy therefore, be entitled to an abatement (in addition to the rent abatement provided in Section 8 below) of seventy five percent (75%) of the monthly Base Rent for each day beginning on the E4FSDD or the E6FSDD, as the case may be, and ending on the day Landlord delivers possession of the 4th Floor Space or the 6th Floor Space, as the case may be (in either case, the “Partial Rent Abatement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the foregoing delay in delivery of possession is due to the City requiring changes to the applicable Expansion Space Plans following submission thereof with the applicable Permit Application, and such changes are not due to Tenant’s error or omission or had been raised earlier, then Tenant shall be entitled to only fifty percent (50%) of the Partial Rent Abatement up to one hundred twenty (120) days following the applicable Commencement Date (it being agreed that any time taken by Tenant to revise and resubmit such changes to Landlord for more than three (3) business days shall be deducted from the one hundred twenty (120) day period). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Amendment, each day Tenant takes to revise and resubmit any change to any portion of the Expansion Space Plans to Landlord as required under the terms hereinabove (regardless of whether or not a time period is provided therefor) shall be deemed a Tenant Delay Day.
(g) Tenant’s Termination Right.
(i) 4th Floor Space.
(1) Vacancy. Notwithstanding the above, in the event Landlord has not demonstrated to Tenant’s reasonable satisfaction, by no later than the 4th Floor Vacancy Deadline, as hereinafter defined, that (I) all of the occupants of the 4th Floor Space have vacated or been removed, and (II) Landlord shall commence the 4th Floor Work immediately, then, for as
4
long as such conditions remain unsatisfied, Tenant, as its sole remedy therefor, shall have the right to terminate this Amendment with respect to the entire Expansion Space. As used herein, the “4th Floor Vacancy Deadline” is March 31, 2018, as such date may be extended due to delays caused by or attributable to a Tenant Delay Day or force majeure event. Upon any such termination, Tenant shall continue to lease the Existing Premises pursuant to the terms of the Lease, as amended hereby with respect to Tenant’s termination of the Lease with respect to the Expansion Space.
(2) Outside Delivery Date. Notwithstanding the above, in the event the 4th Floor Space Commencement Date has not occurred by November 1, 2018 (the “4th Floor Outside Delivery Date”), as such date may be extended due to delays caused by or attributable to a Tenant Delay Day or force majeure event, then Tenant, as its sole remedies therefor, shall have the right to (A) terminate this Amendment with respect to the entire Expansion Space, or (B) grant Landlord an extension on the 4th Floor Outside Delivery Date of up to ninety (90) days, after which Tenant shall again have the
right to terminate this Amendment with respect to the entire Expansion Space if Landlord has failed to deliver the 4th Floor Space by delivering written notice to Landlord within ten (10) business days following the 4th Floor Outside Delivery Date but prior to delivery of possession of the 4th Floor Space. Upon any such termination, Tenant shall continue to lease the Existing Premises pursuant to the terms of the Lease, as amended hereby with respect to Tenant’s termination of the Lease with respect to the Expansion Space.
(ii) 6th Floor Space. Notwithstanding the above, provided Tenant has not terminated this Amendment with respect to the entire Expansion Space as provided in Section 2(g)(i) above, in the event the 6th Floor Space Commencement Date has not occurred by May 1, 2019 (the “6th Floor Outside Delivery Date”), as such date may be extended due to delays caused by or attributable to a Tenant Delay Day or force majeure event, then Tenant, as its sole remedies therefor, shall have the right to: (A) terminate this Amendment with respect to the entire Expansion Space; or (B) grant Landlord an extension on the 6th Floor Outside Delivery Date of up to ninety (90) days, after which Tenant shall again have the right to terminate this Amendment with respect to the entire Expansion Space, by delivering written notice to Landlord within ten (10) business days following the 6th Floor Outside Delivery Date. Upon any such termination, Tenant shall continue to lease the Existing Premises pursuant to the terms of the Lease, as amended hereby.
(iii) Limitation of Tenant’s Liabilities; Remedies. If Tenant exercises its termination right in accordance with this Section 2, Tenant shall have no liability for any costs incurred by Landlord in terminating any lease with a current tenant of the 4th Floor Space or the 6th Floor Space, or with regard to any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in the performance of any aspects of the Permit Application (as defined below), or the performance of the Expansion Space Work (as defined below), and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant, within thirty (30) days following receipt of invoices from Tenant for all reasonable, actual third party costs incurred by Tenant in the preparation of the Expansion Space Plans (as defined below). In addition, in the event Tenant elects to terminate this Amendment as it applies to the Expansion Space because Landlord has failed to meet any deadline (as the same may be extended) herein applicable to the 6th Floor Space, if at the time of such termination Landlord has delivered the 4th Floor Space to Tenant, Tenant shall remove all of its furniture, equipment and other personal property from the 4th Floor Space and shall vacate same, in broom clean condition, within sixty (60) days after Tenant has so terminated this Amendment as it applies to the Expansion Space.
5
(h) Early Access to Expansion Space. Provided Tenant does not interfere with Landlord’s construction of the 4th Floor Work and the 6th Floor Work, as the case may be, Tenant shall have early access to the 4th Floor Space and the 6th Floor Space, as the case may be, fourteen (14) days prior to Landlord’s then-current estimated date of delivery of the 4th Floor Space and the 6th Floor Space, as the case may be (the “Access Date”). Such early occupancy shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Lease (as amended hereby), except for Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent for the applicable portion of the Expansion Space (which obligation shall commence upon the 4th Floor Space Commencement Date and the 6th Floor Space Commencement Date, as the case may be). Such period of early occupancy shall commence on the Access Date and continue through the date immediately preceding the 4th Floor Space Commencement Date and the 6th Floor Space Commencement Date, as the case may be (the “Early Occupancy Period”). During the Early Occupancy Period, Tenant may enter the 4th Floor Space or the 6th Floor Space, as the case may be (but not any other portion of the Building or the Project other than the Existing Premises) for the sole purpose of installing telephones, electronic communication equipment, fixtures and furniture, provided that Tenant shall be solely responsible for all of the foregoing and for any loss or damage thereto from any cause whatsoever. Such early access and such installation shall be permitted only to the extent the same will not interfere with the access, use and occupancy of the Building or the Project by Landlord or any other tenant or occupant or Landlord’s construction of the Expansion Space Work or otherwise delay Landlord’s delivery of any portion of the Expansion Space to Tenant. The provisions of Sections 5.7 and Article 7 of the Lease with respect to Tenant’s insurance and indemnity obligations shall apply in full during the Early Occupancy Period, and Tenant shall (x) provide certificates of insurance evidencing the existence and amounts of liability insurance carried by Tenant and its agents and contractors, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, prior to and as a condition to such early entry, and (y) comply with all laws applicable to such early entry work in the Expansion Space.
3. Swing Space. Commencing on October 14, 2017, with retroactive effect thereto, Tenant shall lease Suite 700 in the Building (“Suite 700”), containing approximately 2,669 rentable square feet (2,321 usable square feet), subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease, as amended hereby.

If Tenant exercises its option to lease Suite 725 and/or Suite 720, to the extent Landlord has the legal right to do so and the current tenants therein have vacated and surrendered such spaces, Tenant shall be permitted early access to such spaces under the same terms and conditions provided in Section 2(h) above, except that access to Suite 725 shall be no earlier than November 26, 2017, the day after the current lease of such space expires. All such occupancies shall be on a month-to-month basis and shall terminate automatically at 5:00 p.m. local
time on the day immediately prior to the 4th Floor Space Commencement Date (the “Swing Space Termination Date”), unless sooner terminated as provided in the Lease, as amended hereby. Tenant shall accept each suite in the Swing Space in its “AS IS” condition as of the date on which Landlord delivers possession thereof to Tenant. Tenant shall pay, in addition to all other amounts due and payable under the Lease, a monthly Base Rent of $4.50 per rentable square foot for the Swing Space leased by Tenant, during such month-to-month tenancy.

4. Size of Leased Premises. As of the 4th Floor Space Commencement Date, the “Leased Premises” shall mean and refer to the Existing Premises and the 4th Floor Space consisting of approximately 37,518 rentable square feet in the aggregate. As of the 6th Floor Space Commencement Date, the term the “Leased Premises” shall mean and refer to the Existing Premises, the 4th Floor Space and the 6th Floor Space consisting of approximately 56,485 rentable square feet (48,950 usable square feet) in the aggregate.

5. Condition of Premises; Warranty. Tenant has been occupying the Existing Premises, is familiar with the condition thereof and accepts the Existing Premises in its “AS IS” state and condition. Tenant shall accept the 4th Floor Space and the 6th Floor Space in their “AS IS” state (except as expressly provided in this Amendment) and broom clean condition as of the 4th Floor Space Commencement Date and the 6th Floor Commencement Date, as the case may be, and Landlord shall have no obligation to make any improvements or renovations in or to the Existing Premises and/or the Expansion Space or to otherwise prepare the same for Tenant’s use and occupancy except as expressly set forth in this Amendment. Unless indicated otherwise by Tenant by written notice to Landlord, any remaining furniture and personal property abandoned by any prior tenants shall be removed from the Expansion Space by Landlord at Landlord’s sole cost prior to delivery of the Expansion Space to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord warrants that for twelve (12) months following the 4th Floor Space Commencement Date and the 6th Floor Space Commencement Date, as the case may be (each, a “Warranty Period”), the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems located in and serving the 4th Floor Space and the 6th Floor Space, as the case may be, shall be in good working order, condition and repair. Landlord shall repair any defective or malfunctioning component of such systems of which Landlord has received written notice from Tenant describing the failure or malfunction within the applicable Warranty Period.
6. Compliance with Law. During the Term and any extensions thereof, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost (except where provided otherwise in the Lease) and without limiting Tenant’s compliance obligations under the Lease, maintain the Common Areas of the Building, all Building systems (including, but not limited to, fire, life safety, elevators, electrical) and the Leased Premises, including any Swing Space and Offer Space (as defined in Exhibit D attached hereto), in compliance with all governmental laws, regulations, building codes and ordinances, rules and orders, including, without limitation, environmental laws, any “Green” building requirements, whether voluntary or mandated, Title 24, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, regardless if any such are triggered as a result of the Expansion Space Work.

(a) Expansion Space Term. The period commencing on the 4th Floor Space Commencement Date and expiring on the last day of the eighty seventh (87th) month following the 6th Floor Space Commencement Date (the “Expansion Space Expiration Date” or “ESED”) shall be referred to herein as the “Expansion Space Term.”
7
(b) Extension of Term. The parties acknowledge that the current Term of the Lease with respect to the Existing Premises (the “Existing Premises Term”) is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2023. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Existing Premises Term shall be extended by the period commencing on December 1, 2023 and expiring on the Expansion Space Expiration Date (the “Existing Premises Extension Term”) so that the Terms of the Lease with respect to the Existing Premises and the Expansion Space expire co-terminously. Effective as of the date hereof, the “Term Expiration Date” as used in the Lease shall mean and refer to the Expansion Space Expiration Date.
8. Rent for Premises.
(a) Base Rent for Existing Premises. Throughout the Existing Premises Term, Tenant shall continue to pay Base Rent for the Existing Premises in accordance with the terms of the Lease. Commencing on December 1, 2023 and thereafter on or before the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the Existing Premises Extension Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Base Rent for the Existing Premises at the monthly Base Rent rate then-in effect for the 6th Floor Space as set forth in Section 8(c) below.
(b) Base Rent for 4th Floor Space. Commencing on the 4th Floor Space Commencement Date and thereafter on or before the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the Expansion Space Term, in addition to all Rent for the Existing Premises and all other Rent for the 4th Floor Space, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Base Rent for the 4th Floor Space as follows:

such default and failure to cure timely occurs), which portion shall be based on the ratio between the number of days remaining in the Expansion Space Term as of the date of the end of all applicable cure periods for such event of default, and the total number of days in the Expansion Space Term applicable to the 4th Floor Space. No such payment by Tenant of any portion of the abated Base Rent shall constitute a waiver by Landlord of any default of Tenant or any election of remedies by Landlord. |
(c) Base Rent for 6th Floor Space. Commencing on the 6th Floor Space Commencement Date and thereafter on or before the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the Expansion Space Term, in addition to all Rent for the Existing Premises and the 4th Floor Space and all other Rent for the 6th Floor Space, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Base Rent for the 6 Floor Space as follows:

Notwithstanding such abatement of Base Rent, (a) all other sums due under the Lease, including Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Basic Operating Costs, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Property Taxes and Additional Rent, shall be payable as provided in the Lease, and (b) any increases in Base Rent set forth above shall occur on the dates scheduled therefor. The abatement of Base Rent provided for above is conditioned upon Tenant’s full and timely performance of all of its obligations under the Lease, as amended hereby.

No such payment by Tenant of any portion of the abated Base Rent shall constitute a waiver by Landlord of any default of Tenant or any election of remedies by Landlord. |

9. Other Components of Gross Rent.
(a) Tenant’s Proportionate Share. Based on the current measurement of the Building of approximately 278,596 rentable square feet, effective as of the 4th Floor Space Commencement Date, Tenant’s Proportionate Share with respect to the Existing Premises and the 4th Floor Space shall be 13.47%, and effective as of the 6th Floor Space Commencement Date, Tenant’s Proportionate Share with respect to the Existing Premises and the Expansion Space shall be 20.27%.
(b) Base Year. During the Expansion Space Term, the Base Year for the 4th Floor Space shall be calendar year 2018, and the Base Year for the 6th Floor Space shall be calendar year 2019.
(c) Tenant’s Audit Right. Tenant shall continue to have the right to audit Landlord’s books and records with respect to the Expansion Space on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 3.4(e) of the Lease, except that (i) reference to “seven percent (7%)” in the tenth (10th) line from the bottom of such Section shall be deleted and replaced with “five percent (5%)” and (ii) effective as of the date hereof, Landlord shall maintain its books and records for two (2) years following the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
(d) Base Year Adjustments. If Landlord eliminates a recurring category of expenses from any Computation Year’s Basic Operating Costs which category was previously included in the Base Year, Landlord may subtract such category from the Base Year commencing with such Computation Year. If Landlord adds a recurring category of expenses to any Computation Year’s Basic Operating Costs which category was previously not included in the Base Year, Landlord shall add such category to the Base Year commencing with such Computation Year. Increases in Basic Operating Costs and Property Taxes shall be determined separately, and a reduction or an increase in the aggregate amount of Basic Operating Costs or Property Taxes in any Computation Year shall not be applied to reduce or increase any increase otherwise applicable to the other category. Tenant shall not be entitled to any reduction, refund, offset, allowance or rebate in Base Rent if the Basic Operating Costs or Property Taxes for any Computation Year are less than the Basic Operating Costs or Property Taxes incurred relating to Basic Operating Costs and/or Property Taxes, as applicable, during the Base Year.
(e) Property Tax Adjustments. If the Building and/or the Project is not fully assessed in the Base Year and any Computation Years, Property Taxes shall be adjusted to reflect the assessment value had the Building and/or the Project been fully completed and assessed for tax purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord obtains a reduction in Property Taxes for a Base Year, then such reduction shall not reduce the amount of Property Taxes for such Base Year for purposes of calculating Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Property Taxes.
(f) Basic Operating Costs. Section 3.5(a)(11) of the Lease shall be deleted and replaced with the following:
“(11) Amortized costs (together with reasonable financing charges) of capital improvements made to the Project subsequent to the Term Commencement Date
10
which are designed to improve the operating efficiency of the Project, achieve energy or carbon reduction, improve the health, safety and welfare of the Project and its tenants, or which may be required by government codes enacted or interpretation rendered after the Term Commencement Date with respect to any existing laws or otherwise required by governmental authorities, including, but not limited to, those improvements required for the benefit of individuals with disabilities, such amortization to be taken in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.”
(g) Basic Operating Cost Exclusions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, the following items shall be added to the list of Basic Operating Costs exclusions set forth in Section 3.5(d) of the Lease: (i) Costs of a capital nature including capital leases not otherwise allowable; (ii) Landlord’s general overhead expenses not related
to the Building; (iii) Costs paid to related parties/subsidiaries greater than market rates; (iv) specific tenant costs or services benefitting specific tenant(s) to the exclusion of Tenant; (v) costs resulting from Landlord’s violation of applicable laws; (vi) costs resulting from the repair of defects in the original design or construction of the Building; (vii) political, charitable, industry or other contributions, subscriptions or membership fees; (viii) damage and repairs attributable to fire or other casualty; (ix) cost for repairs required to be carried by Landlord’s insurance; (x) except for insurance premiums, costs resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents; (xi) Executive salaries or allocation of salaries for personnel working on other properties (provided, however, Landlord may pass through a portion of such salaries which are allocated to the Project); (xii) costs resulting from any violation by Landlord or any tenant of any lease obligation; (xiii) late fees or penalties incurred by Landlord; (xiv) costs reimbursed to Landlord; (xv) cost for art other than normal maintenance; (xvi) costs for removing Hazardous Materials, except the incidental costs attributable to removing Hazardous Materials in the ordinary course of cleaning and maintaining the Project; (xvii) commercial concessions; (xviii) advertising and promotional costs and activities for the Building including gifts and parties; (xix) rent for space within the Building or other locations; (xx) costs for any ground lease of land; (xxi) depreciation and amortization on the Building and the Project; and (xxii) code compliance in effect on or before the Term Commencement Date with regard to the Existing Premises, the 4FSCD with regard to the 4th Floor Space and the 6FSCD with regard to the 6th Floor Space (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit Landlord’s right to pass through code compliance costs relating to the Common Areas).
10. Recapture Upon Sublease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, as amended hereby, Landlord’s right to recapture the Leased Premises in the event Tenant subleases more than forty percent (40%) of the Leased Premises shall be on a cumulative basis, i.e., if Tenant subleases a portion or portions of the Leased Premises consisting of up to but no more than forty percent (40%) of the rentable square footage of the Leased Premises (the “Recapture Threshold”), if Tenant then proposes to sublease a separate portion of the Leased Premises that, when added to the portion or portions of the Leased Premises that Tenant is then subleasing, would make the cumulative amount of space in the Leased Premises under sublease exceed the Recapture Threshold, then Landlord shall have the right to recapture such portion of
11
the Leased Premises proposed for subleasing only, and not the portion or portions of the Leased Premises which meet or fall below the Recapture Threshold. By way of example, if Tenant subleases thirty percent (30%) of the rentable square footage of the Leased Premises and then subsequently proposes to sublease another fifteen percent (15%) of the rentable square footage of the Leased Premises, Landlord shall have the right to recapture the fifteen percent (15%) of the rentable square footage of the Leased Premises. However, if Tenant subleases a portion of the Leased Premises which is higher than the Recapture Threshold, then Landlord shall have the right to recapture all such portion of the Leased Premises which Tenant desires to sublease. By way of example, if Xxxxxx proposes to sublease forty one percent (41%) of the rentable square footage of the Leased Premises, Landlord shall have the right to recapture such forty one percent (41%) of the rentable square footage of the Leased Premises.
11. Letters of Credit.
(a) New Letter of Credit. The parties acknowledge that Xxxxxx’s performance of its obligations under the Lease is secured by the Letter of Credit in the amount of $901,152.00 for the benefit of Original Landlord (the “Existing Letter of Credit”). Concurrently with its execution of this Amendment, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an amendment to the Existing Letter of Credit increasing the amount to $1,500,000 and replacing Original Landlord with Landlord as the beneficiary and, assuming Landlord delivers possession of the 6th Floor Space to Tenant by November 1, 2018, modifying the outside automatic extension date to January 31, 2026 (the “New Letter of Credit”); provided, however, on the last day of the thirty-sixth (36th) month following the 6th Floor Space Commencement Date, Tenant shall continue to have the right to reduce the amount of the New Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 5.14(c) of the Lease, except that the amount reduced shall be from $1,500,000 to $750,000 and Tenant shall not be required to provide any evidence of any operating profit as a condition of such reduction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Landlord delivers possession of the 6th Floor Space after November 1, 2018, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, within thirty (30) days following Xxxxxxxx’s delivery of the 6th Floor Space, an amendment to the New Letter of Credit modifying the outside automatic extension date from January 31, 2026 to the last day of the third (3rd) month following the Expansion Space Expiration Date. In addition, in the event Tenant exercises any of its termination rights under Section 2(g) above, Tenant shall be entitled to amend the New Letter of Credit to reduce the amount thereof to $901,152, and Tenant shall be entitled to further amend such New Letter of Credit to reduce the amount thereof to $450,576 as of the last day of the forty-fourth (44th) calendar month after the Term Commencement Date, as provided in Section 5.14(c) of the Lease except that Tenant shall not be obligated to provide any evidence of any operating profit as a condition of such reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant exercises its option to terminate this Amendment as it pertains to the Expansion Space as provided in Section 2(g) above, Landlord shall, at no cost to Landlord, cooperate with Tenant in amending the New Letter of Credit to decrease the amount thereof to $901,152.00, and to change the outside automatic extension date to February 29, 2024.
(b) Letter of Credit for Connecting Stairwell/Light Well. In connection with the installation of the Connecting Stairwell and/or a Light Well, as provided in Exhibit B hereto, concurrently with Tenant’s submission of the 6th Floor Plans to Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the estimated inflated cost
of the removal and restoration of the Connecting Stairwell and/or Light Well based on the City approved structural drawings, to be determined in good faith by the parties. Such Letter of Credit shall not be subject to reduction.
12
12. Parking. During the Expansion Space Term, in connection with Xxxxxx’s lease of the Expansion Space, Tenant shall have the right to use up to thirty seven (37) additional unreserved parking spaces in the Parking Garage at the prevailing rates established by Landlord for the Building from time to time.
13. Signage.
(a) Suite Signage. Subject to and in compliance with the terms of Section 4.4 of the Lease, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole expense (or, at Tenant’s election, deducted from the Construction Allowance, as defined in Exhibit B), to install signage of its name and logo on the walls of the fourth (4th) and sixth (6th) floor elevator lobbies of the Building and on the entrance doors to the 4th Floor Space and the 6th Floor Space.
(b) Building Top Signage.
(i) General Conditions.
(1) Master Signage Program. Landlord is currently in the process of submitting an application to the City for a master sign permit (the “Master Signage Program”) to enable Landlord to install or to allow the installation of, exterior signage for occupants of the Building, including signage on the top of each side of the Building (“Building Top Signage”). Landlord’s application for the Master Signage Program shall be at Landlord’s sole expense, and Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the City’s approval of the Master Signage Program.
(2) Tenant’s Building Top Signage Permit. Subject to and in compliance with the terms of Section 4.4 of the Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost, apply for a separate permit for Tenant’s Building Top Signage (“Tenant’s Building Top Signage Permit”). Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the City’s approval of Xxxxxx’s Building Top Signage Permit, and Landlord shall, at no additional cost to Landlord, cooperate with Tenant in obtaining the same.
(3) Signage Allotment. Subject to City approval of Xxxxxx’s Building Top Signage Permit and in compliance with the Master Signage Program and the terms of the Lease, so long as Tenant is leasing more than 50,000 rentable square feet of the Building and is in physical occupancy of more than 37,500 rentable square feet of space in the Building, Tenant shall have the exclusive right to license one hundred percent (100%) of the total maximum square footage of Building Top Signage permitted for the entire Building. If Tenant is in physical occupancy of more than 37,500 rentable square feet of the Building, but is leasing less than 50,000 rentable square feet of the Building, the maximum square footage of the Building Top Signage available to Tenant shall be seventy five percent (75%) of the total maximum square footage of Building Top Signage permitted by the Master Signage Program and the City for the entire Building. Subject to the Master Signage Program and City approval, Tenant may elect to have such Building Top Signage on one or two sides of the Building. If at any time during the Term, Tenant is in physical occupancy of less than 37,500 rentable square feet in the Building, Tenant
13
shall not be entitled to any Building Top Signage and shall, at its sole cost, remove any then-existing Building Top Signage of Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice instructing such removal; provided, however, if the reason Tenant is in physical occupancy of less than 37,500 rentable square feet in the Building is as a result of Tenant’s termination of this Amendment as it pertains to the Expansion Space as a result of Landlord’s failure to deliver the Expansion Space to Tenant as provided in Section 2(g) above, Tenant shall not be obligated to remove any such then-existing Building Top Signage unless Landlord has reimbursed Tenant for all reasonable, actual out of pocket costs incurred by Tenant in having such signage designed, constructed and installed, and for the estimated costs of removal and disposal of such signage as provided in invoices and approved by Landlord.
(4) License Fee. Tenant shall pay Landlord a monthly fee in the amount of $5,000 for each Building Top Signage. Payment of such fee shall commence upon the completion of installation of each such Building Top Signage.
(5) Assignability; Delay. All Tenant signage rights shall be transferable in whole or in part by Tenant in connection with any assignment of the Lease, as amended hereby, in accordance with Section 5.6 of the Lease. In no way shall any delay or failure of Landlord to deliver to Tenant any exterior signage rights diminish, limit or otherwise affect Tenant’s other obligations under the Lease, as amended hereby.
(ii) Exercise of Option. Tenant shall have the one time right to elect to license the abovementioned Building Top Signage upon written notice to Landlord delivered within twelve (12) months following the later of (A) the 4th Floor Space Commencement Date and (B) the date on which the City approves the Master Signage Program. Such election may be for the full amount of signage to which Xxxxxx is entitled, as provided in Section 13(b)(i)(B) above, or for a
lesser amount. Upon Xxxxxx’s timely exercise of such right, Landlord and Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain City approval and install such signage in a timely manner. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord within such twelve (12) month period, or if Tenant elects to license a portion but not all of such rights, then Tenant’s right to any remaining Building Top Signage will be null and void, and Landlord may freely license such rights to other parties without any liability to Tenant, provided, however, that as long as Tenant has any such Building Top Signage, Landlord shall not allow any Building Top Signage of any other party on the same side of the Building.
14. Surrender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall not be obligated to (i) remove or restore any portion of the Expansion Space Work, or (ii) remove any Alterations therein not required to be removed by Landlord in writing; provided, however, Tenant shall pay for all costs in connection with the removal of the Connecting Stairwell and/or the Light Well, to the extent either or both are constructed, and for all costs in connection with the construction of unfinished structural fill-in ceiling/flooring in the area of such Connecting Stairwell and/or Light Well, as applicable.
15. Holding Over. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, in the event Tenant continues its occupancy, with or without Landlord’s approval, beyond the expiration of the Term (as extended hereby), Xxxxxx’s occupancy shall be deemed a month to
14
month tenancy, which may be terminated by either party upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other party. Tenant’s payment of Gross Rent during any such holdover period shall be determined in accordance with Section 9.5 of the Lease.
16. Landlord’s Representatives. Effective immediately, the terms “Landlord’s Representatives” and “Landlord Parties” as used in the Lease shall include Landlord, Harvest Properties, Inc., (“Harvest”) and KRE 180 Grand Manager LLC (“KRE”). Furthermore, Tenant shall add Landlord, Harvest and KRE as additional insureds to its insurance policies required under the Lease.
17. Notices. Effective immediately, Xxxxxxxx’s address for notice purposes under the Lease shall be as follows:

Attention: Asset Manager
18. Civil Code Section 1938 Advisory. Landlord and Xxxxxx acknowledge and agree that the Leased Premises have not been inspected by a Certified Access Specialist (“CASp”) pursuant to Section 1938 of the Civil Code (“Code”). The parties further agree, pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section 55.53 of the Code the following:
(a) A CASp can inspect the Leased Premises and determine whether the Leased Premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the Leased Premises, Landlord may not prohibit Tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the Leased Premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of Tenant, if requested by the Tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of the construction-related accessibility standards within the Leased Premises.
(b) Pursuant to the paragraph above, the parties expressly agree that, if Tenant elects to obtain a CASp inspection of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall be solely responsible for scheduling the inspection and that such inspection shall not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Leased Premises and/or Building or disturb any other tenant or occupant. Tenant shall be solely responsible for any and all costs to perform the CASp inspection, including any ancillary costs relating thereto. If the results of the inspection determine that modifications or alterations are required to meet all applicable construction-related accessibility standards, Tenant agrees to perform such work, in its sole cost and expense and provided approvals from Landlord are obtained under the Lease, as required; provided, however, if the results of the inspection determine that any such modifications or alterations are required due to Landlord’s performance of the Expansion Space Work, Landlord agrees to perform the work required to meet such standards at its sole cost and expense. Landlord and Tenant agree that all work shall be performed in good workmanlike manner in compliance with all laws and using commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption to the Building and other tenants or occupants, if applicable.
15
Furthermore, Xxxxxx agrees that any report that is generated as a result of an inspection pursuant to this Section 18 and all information contained therein, shall remain confidential, except as necessary for Tenant to complete repairs and/or correct violations, as agreed herein.
19. Brokers. Tenant warrants that it has had no dealing with any broker or agent in connection with the negotiation or execution of this Amendment, except for Harvest Properties, Inc., representing Landlord, and Newmark Cornish & Xxxxx, representing Tenant (“Tenant’s Broker”). Landlord shall pay any commission due to such brokers pursuant to a separate written agreement. Xxxxxx agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims by any broker, agent or other person claiming a commission or other form of compensation by virtue of having dealt with Tenant with regard to this leasing transaction.
20. Full Force and Effect. Except as modified by the terms of this Amendment, the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of the Lease are hereby in all respects ratified, confirmed and approved, and remain in full force and effect. Tenant hereby affirms that the Lease, and all of its terms, conditions, covenants, agreements and provisions, except as hereby modified, are in full force and effect.
21. No Changes. This Amendment contains the entire understanding among the parties with respect to the matters contained herein. No representations, warranties, covenants or agreements have been made concerning or affecting the subject matter of this Amendment. This Amendment may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change or modification or discharge is sought.
22. Severability. If any term or provision of this Amendment is, to any extent, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Amendment will not be affected, and each term or provision of this Amendment will be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the application of any term or provision of this Amendment to any person or circumstances is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the application of that term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, will not be affected, and each term or provision of this Amendment will be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
23. Time of Essence. The parties hereto agree that time is of the essence with respect to all of its covenants, obligations and agreements herein.
24. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of identical counterparts each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.
25. No Offer. Submission of this instrument for examination and signature by Tenant does not constitute an offer to lease or a reservation of or option for lease, and this instrument is not effective as a lease amendment or otherwise until executed and delivered by both Landlord and Tenant.
26. Governing Law. This Amendment shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced and governed by and under the laws of the State of California.

6. Definitions. As used herein, a “Tenant Delay Day” shall mean each day of delay in the performance of the Expansion Space Work and Landlord’s delivery of possession of any portion of the Expansion Space to Tenant that occurs (a) because of Tenant’s failure to timely deliver, approve or revise any required documentation, including any portion of the Permit Application, (b) because Tenant fails to timely furnish any information, deliver, revise or approve any required documents, including any portion of the Permit Application Tenant is obligated to provide pursuant to Section 2(d) of the Amendment (whether preliminary, interim revisions or final), pricing estimates, construction bids, and the like, (c) because of any change by Tenant to the Expansion Space Work, (d) because Tenant fails to attend any meeting in connection with the performance of the Expansion Space Work as may be required or scheduled hereunder or otherwise necessary in connection with the preparation or completion of any construction documents or any portion of the Permit Application, (e) because of any revisions to the Expansion Space Plans or the Permit Application after Landlord’s initial submission thereof to the City; or (f) because Tenant or its employee, agent or representative otherwise delays completion of the Expansion Space Work and/or Landlord’s delivery of possession of any portion of the Expansion Space to Tenant, provided Landlord has notified Tenant of such delay and has included in such notice a detailed description of the nature and basis for such delay, and the date(s) and asserted length of such delay. Landlord shall notify Tenant of any such instance of a Tenant Delay Day. As used herein “Substantial Completion,” “Substantially Completed,” and any derivations thereof mean the Expansion Space Work has been performed in substantial accordance with the plans and specifications upon which the City based its approval of the Permit, as determined by Landlord in good faith (other than any details of construction, mechanical adjustment or other similar matter, the non-completion of which does not materially interfere with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Expansion Space). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Tenant shall be liable for all costs reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with any Tenant Delay Day and shall reimburse such costs to Landlord within ten (10) days following receipt of Landlord’s demand. Without limiting Landlord’s rights and remedies, provided Landlord notifies Tenant in advance, Landlord shall have the right to cease construction without any liability or penalty until Tenant cures any delay by Xxxxxx.
7. Walk-Through; Punchlist. When Landlord considers the 4th Floor Work or the 6th Floor Work, as the case may be, to be Substantially Completed, Landlord will notify Tenant and within three (3) business days thereafter, Xxxxxxxx’s representative and Tenant’s representative shall conduct a walk-through of the applicable portion of Expansion Space and identify any necessary touch-up work, repairs and minor completion items that are necessary for final completion of such portion of the Expansion Space Work (“Punchlist Items”). Neither Landlord’s representative nor Xxxxxx’s representative shall unreasonably withhold his or her agreement on Punchlist Items. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to cause the contractor performing the Expansion Space Work to complete all Punchlist Items within thirty (30) days after agreement thereon.
8. Excess Costs. The entire cost of performing the Expansion Space Work (including design thereof, architectural fees, installation of the Connecting Stairwell and/or Light Well, permit fees, any other consulting services, space planning and preparation and submission of the
B-2
Permit Application, costs of construction labor and materials, electrical usage during construction, additional janitorial services, general tenant signage, related taxes and insurance costs, and the construction supervision fee referenced below, but not the costs of any expedited permits applied for or any over-time work utilized by Landlord, all of which costs are herein collectively called (the “Total Construction Costs”) in excess of the Construction Allowance shall be paid by Tenant.
9. Construction Allowance. Landlord shall provide to Tenant a construction allowance not to exceed $3,393,990.00 (based on $90.00 per rentable square foot in the Expansion Space) (the “Construction Allowance”) to be applied toward the Total Construction Costs, as adjusted for any changes to the Expansion Space Work. The Construction Allowance shall not be disbursed to Tenant in cash, but shall be applied by Landlord to the payment of the Total Construction Costs. The Construction Allowance shall be spent as follows: Tenant shall use at least $60.00 per rentable square foot towards the 4th Floor Work and the 6th Floor Work each. The remaining $30.00 per rentable square foot for the 4th Floor Work and the 6th Floor Work each may be used by Tenant towards any portion of the Expansion Space Work, subject to the following conditions: (a) the 6th Floor Work and any additional construction work performed by Tenant in the 6th Floor Space shall be in compliance with Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations (“Title 24”); (b) the 6th Floor Work and any additional construction work performed by Tenant in the 6th Floor Space shall include an open ceiling, installation of the distribution of all ductwork for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system serving the 6th Floor Space and such other improvements to make the 6th Floor Space compliant with the requirements of Title 24 in effect as of the date hereof; and (c) Tenant shall not be entitled to use any unused portion of the Construction Allowance. For the avoidance of doubt, Xxxxxxxx’s costs in connection with the Expansion Space Work shall in no event exceed the Construction Allowance, except to the extent of the costs of any expedited permits and over-time labor, and without limiting other amounts for which Tenants is responsible as provided elsewhere in this Amendment, Tenant shall be responsible for all costs of the Expansion Space Plans, the MEP Plans, the FLS Drawings, Tenant’s suite signage, the Permit Application and the Expansion Space Work in excess of the Construction Allowance.
10. Construction Management. Landlord or its affiliate or agent shall supervise the Expansion Space Work, make disbursements required to be made to the contractor, and act as a liaison between the contractor and Tenant and coordinate the relationship between the Expansion Space Work, the Building and the Building’s systems. In consideration for Landlord’s construction supervision services, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a construction supervision fee equal to three percent (3%) of the Total Construction Costs (excluding the construction supervision fee).

EXHIBIT C
RENEWAL OPTION
A. If Tenant is not in default under any term or condition of the Lease, as amended by the Amendment, beyond all applicable cure periods, at the time of delivery of the Renewal Notice (as defined below), and as of the commencement of the Renewal Term (as defined below), and the original Tenant named herein is occupying the entire Leased Premises at the time of such election, Tenant may renew the Lease for all or a portion of the Leased Premises (but no less than one floor) for one (1) additional period of five (5) years (the “Renewal Term”), by delivering written notice (the “Renewal Notice”) of the exercise thereof to Landlord not earlier than twelve (12) months nor later than nine (9) months before the expiration of the then current Term. The Base Rent payable for each month during the Renewal Term shall be the Fair Market Rent (as defined below) as of the commencement date of the Renewal Term. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s Renewal Notice, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written notice of Landlord’s Fair Market Rent proposal for the Renewal Term (“Landlord’s Fair Market Rent Proposal”) and shall advise Tenant of the required adjustment to Base Rent, if any, and the other terms and conditions offered. Within ten (10) business days after receipt of Landlord’s Fair Market Rent Proposal, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether Tenant accepts or rejects Landlord’s Fair Market Rent Proposal. If Tenant rejects Landlord’s Fair Market Rent Proposal, then Xxxxxx’s written notice shall include Tenant’s determination of the Fair Market Rent. If Tenant does not deliver Xxxxxx’s written determination of Fair Market Rent to Landlord within ten (10) business days after receipt of Landlord’s Fair Market Rent Proposal, Tenant will be deemed to have rejected Landlord’s Fair Market Rent Proposal. If Tenant and Landlord disagree on the Fair Market Rent as evidenced by Landlord’s Fair Market Rent Proposal, then Landlord and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the Fair Market Rent. If by that date which is six (6) months prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term (the “Trigger Date”), Landlord and Tenant have not agreed in writing as to the Fair Market Rent, then within ten (10) business days following the Trigger Date (the “Withdrawal Deadline”), Tenant shall have the one time right to withdraw its Renewal Notice, and the Lease shall expire upon the expiration of the then current Term. If Tenant does not withdraw its Renewal Notice by the Withdrawal Deadline, the parties shall proceed to determine the Fair Market Rent in accordance with the procedure set forth in Paragraph C below. In all events, Xxxxxx’s exercise of its renewal option right hereunder shall be binding upon Tenant and not subject to rescission except as provided herein.
B. For purposes of this Exhibit, the term “Fair Market Rent” means the annual amount per square foot that a willing, comparable tenant would pay and a willing, comparable landlord of a comparable building in the Downtown Oakland area would accept at “arm’s length”, giving appropriate consideration to the credit of the tenant, free rent and other tenant inducements then being offered for comparable space, length of lease term, size and location of premises being leased, tenant improvement allowances, if any (but excluding any above standard improvements made by Tenant), and other generally applicable terms and conditions for tenancy in comparable space. Further, the Base Year for Basic Operating Costs and Property Taxes shall be amended to the calendar year which immediately follows the end of the then current Term.
C. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach agreement on the Fair Market Rent by the Trigger Date, and Tenant has not withdrawn it Renewal Notice by the Withdrawal Deadline,
C-1
then within ten (10) days of the Withdrawal Deadline, Landlord and Tenant shall each simultaneously submit to the other in a sealed envelope its good faith estimate of the Fair Market Rent for the Renewal Term. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to propose a Fair Market Rent, then the Fair Market Rent for the Renewal Term proposed by the other party shall prevail. If the higher of such estimates is not more than one hundred five percent (105%) of the lower, then the Fair Market Rent shall be the average of the two. Otherwise, the dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the remainder of this Paragraph C. Within ten (10) days after the exchange of estimates, the parties shall select as an arbitrator either (i) a licensed real estate broker with at least ten (10) years of experience leasing premises in office buildings in the City of Oakland or (ii) an independent MAI appraiser with at least five (5) years of experience in appraising first class office buildings in the City of Oakland (a “Qualified Arbitrator”). If the parties cannot agree on a Qualified Arbitrator, then within a second period of ten (10) days, each shall select a Qualified Arbitrator and within ten (10) days thereafter the two appointed Qualified Arbitrators shall select a third Qualified Arbitrator and the third Qualified Arbitrator shall be the sole arbitrator. If the two Qualified Arbitrators are unable to agree upon the third Qualified Arbitrator within the referenced ten (10)-day period, the third Qualified Arbitrator shall be selected by the parties themselves, if they can agree thereon, within a further period of ten (10) days. If the parties do not so agree, then either party, on behalf of both, may request that the appointment of such third Qualified Arbitrator be made in accordance with the selection procedures of the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or its successor for arbitration of commercial disputes. If one party shall fail to select a Qualified Arbitrator within the second ten (10)-day period, then the Qualified Arbitrator chosen by the other party shall be the sole arbitrator (the single Qualified Arbitrator initially selected by both parties, the third Qualified Arbitrator appointed by the two (2) Qualified Arbitrators selected by the parties, or the one Qualified Arbitrator selected via the AAA, as applicable, shall hereafter be referred to as the “Sole Arbitrator”). Within thirty (30) days after submission of the matter to the Sole Arbitrator, the Sole Arbitrator shall determine the Fair Market Rent by choosing whichever of the estimates submitted by Landlord and Tenant the Sole Arbitrator judges to be more accurate. The Sole Arbitrator shall notify Landlord and Tenant of his or her decision, which shall be final and binding. If the Sole Arbitrator believes that expert advice would materially assist him or her, the Sole Arbitrator may retain one or more qualified persons to
provide expert advice. The parties shall reasonably cooperate with any request from the Sole Arbitrator for information regarding the parties’ respective estimates of Fair Market Rent for the Renewal Term. The fees of the Sole Arbitrator and the expenses of the arbitration proceeding, including (i) the costs of the AAA proceeding, if any, and (ii) the fees of any expert witnesses retained by the Sole Arbitrator, shall be shared equally by Landlord and Xxxxxx. The fees of each party’s respective Qualified Arbitrator shall be borne by that party. Further, each party shall pay the fees of its respective counsel and the fees of any witness called by that party.
D. On or before the commencement date of the Renewal Term, Landlord and Xxxxxx shall execute an amendment to the Lease prepared by Landlord extending the Term on the same terms provided in the Lease, except as follows:
(i) Base Rent shall be adjusted to the Fair Market Rent (which shall be the rental rate set forth in Landlord’s Fair Market Rent Proposal or the Fair Market Rent determined by mutual agreement or by arbitration, as the case may be, as provided in Paragraph C hereinabove);
C-2
(ii) Tenant shall have no further renewal option unless expressly granted by Xxxxxxxx in writing;
(iii) Landlord shall lease to Tenant the Leased Premises in their then-current condition, and Landlord shall not provide to Tenant any allowances (e.g., a construction allowance) or other tenant inducements, unless the foregoing have been determined to be a part of the formula for the adjustment of Base Rent and Fair Market Rent, as provided in Paragraph C hereinabove, or to the extent otherwise negotiated by the parties; and
(iv) Tenant shall pay for the parking spaces which it is entitled to use at the rates from time to time charged to patrons of the Parking Garage associated with the Project during the extended Term (plus all applicable taxes).
E. In the event that Fair Market Rent is not established prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term, then Tenant shall continue to pay the Base Rent at the rate in effect immediately prior to the expiration of the then current Term of the Lease in addition to all other Rent, and within thirty (30) days of the determination of Fair Market Rent, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any difference.
F. Tenant’s rights under this Exhibit shall terminate if: (i)the Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Premises is terminated; (ii) Tenant assigns any of its interest in the Lease or sublets more than one (1) full floor of the Leased Premises; or (iii) Tenant fails to timely exercise its option under this Exhibit, time being of the essence with respect to Tenant’s exercise thereof.

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER
A. Subject to then-existing renewal or expansion options of other tenants (or, even if not a right under such tenant’s lease, the renewal of a lease of any tenant by Landlord for the Offer Space, as defined herein) (“Prior Rights”), and provided no event of default by Tenant then exists, Landlord shall, prior to offering the same to any party (other than tenants with Prior Rights), first offer to lease to Tenant any available space on floors 2 - 8 of the Building, including each suite in the Swing Space (each, an “Offer Space”), in its then “AS-IS” condition except as otherwise provided herein; such offer shall be in writing and shall specify the lease terms for the Offer Space, including, without limitation, the rent to be paid for the Offer Space, the date on which the Offer Space shall be included in the Leased Premises and the tenant improvements and/or improvement allowance Landlord is prepared to offer for such Offer Space, if any (the “Offer Notice”).
B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with regard to each suite in the Swing Space, as defined in Section 3 of the First Amendment to Office Building Lease to which this Exhibit is attached (the “Amendment”), for the twelve (12) month period following the 4FSCD (as defined in Section 2(c) of the Amendment) (the “Swing Space Grace Period”), the Offer Notice shall contain the same economic terms as that of the 6th Floor Space pursuant to the Amendment (“6th Floor Terms”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant does not elect to lease Suite 725 pursuant to Section 3 of the Amendment, the Swing Space Grace Period with respect to Suite 725 shall commence on December 1, 2017 and expire on the last day of the twelve (12)-month period following the 4FSCD (i.e., Landlord shall have the right to deliver an Offer Notice for Suite 725 to Tenant as early as December 1, 2017).
C. Each Offer Notice shall be substantially similar to the Offer Notice attached to this Exhibit as Schedule 1.
D. Except as provided in Paragraph F below, if Tenant elects to exercise any of its rights under this Exhibit to lease an Offer Space, Tenant must so notify Landlord within ten (10) business days after Landlord delivers the Offer Notice to Tenant, and Tenant must lease the entire Offer Space, on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice.
E. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at any time during the Swing Space Grace Period, Landlord desires to improve any suite in the Swing Space on a speculative basis (a “Spec Space”), provided no event of default by Tenant then
exists, Landlord must send Tenant an Offer Notice for such Spec Space, in compliance with the terms of Paragraph B above. In such event, notwithstanding the fact that Landlord is not offering such Spec Space to a third party to lease, if Tenant wishes to add such Spec Space to the Leased Premises under the terms of this Exhibit, Tenant must so notify Landlord in writing of its election to lease such Spec Space on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice within ten (10) business days after Landlord delivers the Offer Notice to Tenant.
F. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of an Offer Notice, Landlord has received an offer to lease all or part of the subject Offer Space from a third party (a “Third Party Offer”) and such Third Party Offer includes space in excess of the Offer Space, Tenant must exercise its rights hereunder, if at all, as to all of the space contained in the Third Party Offer.
D-1
G. If Tenant timely elects to lease an Offer Space, then Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease, effective as of the date such Offer Space is to be included in the Leased Premises, on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice and, to the extent not inconsistent with the Offer Notice terms, the terms of the Lease, as amended by the Amendment, including the expiration date thereof; however, Tenant shall accept the Offer Space in its then “AS-IS” condition, subject to the terms of the Offer Notice pertaining to tenant improvements, and Landlord shall not provide to Tenant any allowances (e.g., moving allowance, construction allowance, and the like) or other tenant inducements except as may be specifically provided in the Offer Notice.
H. If Tenant fails or is unable to timely exercise its right hereunder with respect to an Offer Space, then such right shall lapse with regard to such Offer Space, time being of the essence with respect to the exercise thereof, and if the subject Offer Space is a suite in the Swing Space, then Tenant shall vacate and surrender such suite in accordance with the terms of the Lease, as amended hereby. Thereafter, Landlord may lease all or a portion of such Offer Space to third parties on terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord within ninety percent (90%) of the Net Effective Rent of the applicable Offer Notice within six (6) months following the Offer Notice. As used herein, “Net Effective Rent” will be based on all economic factors commonly taken into account when commercially reasonable landlords in the Uptown Lake Xxxxxxx/Oakland area are attempting to lease spaces comparable to the Offer Space, including, without limitation, base rent rate, additional rent, length of lease term, tenant improvements, rent abatement, brokerage commissions and other financial incentives offered to prospective tenants. If a lease for such Offer Space is not signed with such third party on such terms within such six (6) month period, the subject Offer Space shall be available and subject to Tenant’s right of first offer set forth in this Exhibit; provided, however, with respect to any suite in the Swing Space (excluding all Spec Spaces, if any), the terms of the Offer Notice shall be as described in Paragraph A above, except that if the Swing Space Grace Period is still then in effect, the terms of Paragraph B above shall also apply.
I. Tenant may not exercise its rights under this Exhibit if (i) an event of default exists as of the date Tenant exercises its option to lease the subject Offer Space, (ii) Tenant assigns any of its interest in the Lease or sublets more than one (1) floor of the Leased Premises, or (iii) the Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Premises is terminated.
J. Payment of any commission with respect to any space leased by Tenant under this Exhibit shall be made by Xxxxxxxx, and Xxxxxx shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from and against all costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, and other liability for commissions or other compensation claimed by any broker or agent claiming the same by, through, or under Tenant, other than Tenant’s Broker.

THIRD AMENDMENT TO OFFICE BUILDING LEASE
(Expansion of Leased Premises)
THIS THIRD AMENDMENT TO OFFICE BUILDING LEASE (this “Third
Amendment”) is entered into as of the 7th day of November, 2019 (the “Third Amendment Effective Date”), by and between OAKLAND GRAND OWNER LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and MARQETA, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).
RECITALS
X.XXXX XX 180 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and Landlord’s predecessor-in-interest under the Lease, as defined herein (“Original Landlord”), and Tenant entered into that certain Office Building Lease dated as of March 1, 2016 (the “Original Lease”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Office Building Lease dated as of November 8, 2017 (the “First Amendment”) and that certain Second Amendment to Office Building Lease dated as of March 14, 2019 (the “Second Amendment”; the Original Lease, as amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, is referred to herein as the “Existing Lease”), pursuant to which Tenant leases from Landlord those certain premises consisting of approximately 56,485 rentable square feet (48,950 usable square feet) in the aggregate (the “Existing Premises”) comprised of (i) approximately 18,744 rentable square feet (16,299 usable square feet) consisting of the entire fourth (4th) floor, (ii) approximately 18,774 rentable square feet consisting of the entire fifth (5th) floor, and (iii) approximately 18,967 rentable square feet (16,326 usable square feet) consisting of the entire sixth (6th) floor of that certain office building with an address of 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx (the “Building”). The Building, the land on which the Building is located, the parking garage located adjacent to the Building owned by Landlord but located on a separate tax parcel, and the sidewalks and similar improvements and easements associated with the foregoing or the operation thereof, are referred to collectively herein as the “Project.”
B.Landlord and Tenant desire by this Third Amendment to amend the Lease in order to provide for, among other things, an expansion of the Existing Premises to include approximately 6,799 rentable square feet in the aggregate designated as Suites 700 and 725 (collectively, the "Expansion Space") located on the seventh (7th) floor of the Building, as depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto, and further amend, modify and supplement the Lease as set forth herein.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals which are incorporated herein by reference and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby is acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:
1.Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Existing Lease. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, all references to the "Lease" in the Existing Lease and in this Third Amendment shall hereinafter be deemed to refer to the Existing Lease, as amended hereby.
1.Addition of Expansion Space. In addition to Tenant’s lease of the Existing Premises, commencing on the date on which Landlord delivers possession of the Expansion Space to Tenant in the condition required by this Third Amendment (the “Expansion Space Delivery Date” or “ESDD” as used in the Base Rent schedule below, and such delivery being referred to herein as “Delivery” and Landlord’s act of doing so as “Deliver”), which is estimated to occur on November 15, 2019 (the “Estimated Expansion Space Delivery Date”), Tenant shall lease the Expansion Space for the Permitted Use, subject to and in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of the Existing Lease, as amended hereby. If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Expansion Space to Tenant by the Estimated Expansion Space Delivery Date, then: (i) the validity of this Third Amendment shall not be affected or impaired thereby; (ii) the expiration of the Expansion Space Term (as defined below) shall not be affected thereby; (iii) Landlord shall not be in default hereunder or be liable for damages therefor; and
(iv) Tenant shall accept possession of the Expansion Space when Landlord achieves Delivery of the Expansion Space. Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent for the Expansion Space shall begin on the Expansion Space Commencement Date, as defined below. Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute (or make good faith corrective comments to) and deliver to Landlord a document confirming the Expansion Space Delivery Date, the Expansion Space Commencement Date, the expiration date of the Term, and Tenant’s acceptance of the Expansion Space (an “Expansion Space Confirmation Letter Agreement”); provided, however, Xxxxxx’s failure to execute (or make good faith corrective comments to) such document within ten (10) business days after receipt thereof shall be deemed to constitute Tenant’s agreement to the contents of such document.
2.Condition of Leased Premises; Warranty. Tenant has been occupying the Existing Premises, is familiar with the condition thereof and accepts the Existing Premises as of the Third Amendment Effective Date in its current “AS IS” state and condition. Tenant shall accept the Expansion Space in its “AS IS” state as of the Expansion Space Delivery Date, and Landlord shall have no obligation to make or pay for any improvements or renovations in or to the Existing Premises and/or the Expansion Space or to otherwise prepare the same for Tenant’s use and occupancy except as expressly set forth in this Third Amendment, provided that Landlord will Deliver the Expansion Space to Tenant broom clean and free of any prior occupant’s (or Landlord’s) personal property, refuse or equipment/furniture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord warrants that for twelve (12) months following the Expansion Space Delivery Date (the “Warranty Period”), that the mechanical, electrical, life-safety and plumbing systems located in and/or serving the Expansion Space shall be in good working order, condition and repair. Landlord shall promptly repair (at Landlord’s sole cost) or replace (subject to Landlord’s right to reimbursement pursuant to the terms of the Lease), as necessary, any defective or malfunctioning component of such systems of which Landlord has received written notice from Tenant describing the failure or malfunction within the Warranty Period.
3.Expansion Space Work; Expansion Space Work Allowance.
(a)Expansion Space Work. Following the Expansion Space Delivery Date, Tenant plans to install, construct and/or perform certain upgrades to the Expansion Space (the “Expansion Space Work”) in accordance with the space plan attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Space Plan”), using Building-standard materials, methods, quantities and finishes except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 4(a). All Expansion Space Work shall be performed
2 |
in a good and workmanlike manner, in compliance with all applicable Laws, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease, as amended hereby, including, without limitation, Section 5.7 of the Original Lease (it being agreed that removal of the Expansion Space Work, if any, shall be governed by the terms of Section 5.7(d) of the Original Lease). Landlord acknowledges that Tenant anticipates that the Expansion Space Work will include certain finishes and other items which are upgrades above Landlord’s “Building standard” finishes, including, without limitation, upgrades to the lighting, ceiling, mill work, appliances, paint, color, carpet, etc., so as to generally be consistent with the level of improvements installed in the Existing Premises; Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its consent to such upgrades. Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of the Expansion Space Work, including all such upgrades, subject to the Expansion Space Work Allowance (as defined below).
(b)Approval of Architectural Drawings. Tenant shall provide to Landlord for its approval final architectural drawings based on the Space Plan, prepared by an architect selected by Xxxxxx (“Architect”), of the Expansion Space Work; such architectural drawings shall include, as applicable, the partition layout, ceiling plan, electrical outlets and switches, telephone outlets, and detailed plans and specifications for the construction of the Expansion Space Work in accordance with all applicable Laws (the “Architectural Drawings”). Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Tenant whether it approves of the submitted Architectural Drawings within ten (10) business days after Xxxxxx’s submission thereof. If Landlord disapproves of such Architectural Drawings, then Landlord shall notify Tenant thereof specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval, in which case Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after such notice, revise such Architectural Drawings in accordance with Landlord’s objections and submit the revised Architectural Drawings to Landlord for its review and approval. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Tenant in writing whether it approves of the resubmitted Architectural Drawings within five (5) business days after its receipt thereof. Landlord’s failure to notify Tenant within the foregoing time periods shall not be a default by Landlord under the Lease. This process shall be repeated until the Architectural Drawings have been finally approved by Xxxxxx and Landlord. Tenant shall be solely responsible for applying for, obtaining and maintaining any permits and approvals required by applicable jurisdictional authorities for the Expansion Space Work, and Landlord shall, at no cost to Landlord, reasonably cooperate with Tenant in connection therewith. Landlord shall not be responsible for the accuracy of the Architectural Drawings or any item prepared by Tenant.
(c)Expansion Space Work Allowance. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the costs incurred by Tenant in the design, permitting and construction of the Expansion Space Work (including, without limitation, architectural fees, engineering fees and project management fees) (collectively, the “ESW Construction Costs”); provided, however, Landlord’s obligation to reimburse Tenant for the ESW Construction Costs shall be: (i) limited to the lesser of (A) the actual ESW Construction Costs incurred by Tenant in design, permitting, project management and performance of the Expansion Space Work; and (B) an amount not to exceed $611,910.00 (based on $90.00 per rentable square foot of the Expansion Space, the “Expansion Space Work Allowance”); and
(ii) conditioned upon Xxxxxxxx’s receipt of written notice (which notice shall be accompanied by the invoices and documentation set forth below) from Tenant that the Expansion Space Work has been completed and accepted by Tenant. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the ESW
3 |
Construction Costs (limited as described above) on a monthly basis as design and construction proceed, within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt of a monthly request for disbursement, accompanied by: (x) copies of third party invoices for costs incurred by Tenant in constructing the Expansion Space Work; (y) evidence that Tenant has paid the invoices for such costs; and (z) lien waivers (conditional or unconditional, as appropriate) and mechanics’ lien releases from any contractor or subcontractor who has constructed any portion of the Expansion Space Work for which payment is requested or any materialman with lien rights who has supplied materials used or incorporated into any such portion of the Expansion Space Work (if applicable), all such waivers and releases to be on the applicable statutory form and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant must submit all reimbursement requests to Landlord by December 31, 2020 (the “Outside Allowance Request Date”), and Landlord will not be obligated to make any payment related to the Expansion Space Work for requests submitted after such date. However, the Outside Allowance Request Date shall be delayed on a day-for-day basis for each day that the Expansion Space Delivery Date is delayed beyond the Estimated Expansion Space Delivery Date and for each day that Tenant’s performance of the Expansion Space Work is delayed due to force majeure or Landlord Delay (as defined below). Under no circumstances shall Landlord be required to reimburse Tenant for any portion of the ESW Construction Costs while Tenant is in default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period; provided, that Landlord shall resume such reimbursement of Tenant for the ESW Construction Costs in accordance with this Section 4(c) as soon as Tenant has cured its default under the Lease, to Landlord’s satisfaction. Any unused portion of the Expansion Space Work Allowance for which Xxxxxx has not submitted a reimbursement request by the Outside Allowance Request Date shall be deemed forfeited (and expressly may not be credited toward Rent due under the Lease, as amended hereby). Furthermore, Tenant may not use any portion of the Expansion Space Work Allowance for its furniture, fixtures, equipment, personal property or telecommunications equipment and cabling nor shall Tenant be entitled to receive any unused portion of the Expansion Space Work Allowance. As used herein, “Landlord Delay” shall mean (A) actual delays to the extent resulting solely from the failure of Landlord to approve or disapprove the Architectural Drawings within the time period set forth in Section 4(b), which failure is not due to (i) Tenant’s failure to provide information requested by Landlord in order to approve or disapprove the Architectural Drawings or (ii) a reason outside Landlord’s reasonable control or (B) intentional interference (when judged in accordance with industry custom and practice) by Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors with the Expansion Space Work (including the impairment of Tenant's contractors' or vendors' or employees' access to the Expansion Space, failure to provide reasonable access to the Building's loading docks or other facilities necessary for the construction of the Expansion Space Work and/or the movement of materials and personnel to the Expansion Space for such purpose) and which objectively preclude or delay the construction of improvements in the Building by any person, which interference relates to access by Xxxxxx, or Tenant's employees, contractors, vendors or representatives to the Building. If Tenant contends that a Landlord Delay has occurred, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of the event which constitutes such delay (the "Delay Notice"). Such notice may be via electronic mail to Landlord's property manager. Tenant will additionally use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of any Landlord Delay through the re-sequencing or re-scheduling of work, if feasible, but this sentence will not be deemed to require Tenant to incur overtime or after-hours costs unless Landlord agrees in writing to bear such costs. If such actions, inaction or circumstance described in any Delay Notice regarding an alleged Landlord Delay are not cured by Landlord within two (2) business days after Landlord's receipt of the
4 |
Delay Notice, and if such action, inaction or circumstance otherwise qualify as a Landlord Delay, then a Landlord Delay shall be deemed to have occurred commencing as of the third (3rd) business day after Xxxxxxxx's receipt of the Delay Notice and ending as of the date such delay ends. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as a result of a Landlord Delay, and notwithstanding Tenant's mitigation efforts described above, the date of substantial completion of the Expansion Space Work is delayed for a longer period than the actual length of the Landlord Delay (due to the need to reschedule subcontractors or suppliers and/or re-sequence elements of work, but no more than two (2) consecutive days), then, for the purposes of determining the extension of the date of substantial completion, the Landlord Delay will be deemed to be the number of days substantial completion of the Expansion Space Work is delayed as a result of such Landlord Delay.
2.Size of Leased Premises. As of the Expansion Space Delivery Date, the “Leased Premises” shall mean and refer to the Existing Premises and the Expansion Space consisting of approximately 63,284 rentable square feet in the aggregate.
3.Expansion Space Term. The Term of the Lease with respect to the Expansion Space shall commence on the Expansion Space Delivery Date and expire concurrently with the Term of the Lease with respect to the Existing Premises on February 28, 2026 (the “Expansion Space Term”).
4.Base Rent for Expansion Space. From the Expansion Space Delivery Date to April 14, 2020, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Base Rent for the Expansion Space, but Tenant shall pay all Rent for the Existing Premises and all other charges due under the Lease, as amended hereby. Commencing on April 15, 2020 (the “Expansion Space Commencement Date”) and thereafter on or before the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the Expansion Space Term, in addition to all Rent for the Existing Premises and all other Rent for the Expansion Space, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Base Rent for the Expansion Space as follows:
Months | Monthly Base Rent Rate Per Rentable Square Foot | Monthly Base Rent | ||||||
ESDD – 4/14/20 | $0.0000 | $0.00 | ||||||
4/15/20 – 6/14/20 | $0.0000 | Abated* | ||||||
6/15/20 – 4/14/21 | $5.4000 | $36,714.60 | ||||||
4/15/21 – 4/14/22 | $5.5620 | $37,816.04 | ||||||
4/15/22 – 4/14/23 | $5.7289 | $38,950.52 | ||||||
4/15/23 – 4/14/24 | $5.9007 | $40,119.03 | ||||||
4/15/24 – 4/14/25 | $6.0777 | $41,322.61 | ||||||
4/15/25 – 2/28/26 | $6.2601 | $42,562.28 |
*Base Rent for the Expansion Space shall be abated for the first two (2) months of the Expansion Space Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Expansion Space Commencement
5 |
Date (and the dates upon which the Base Rent rate payable as described above is increased) shall be delayed on a day-for-day basis for each day that the Expansion Space Delivery Date is delayed beyond the Estimated Expansion Space Delivery Date and for each day that substantial completion of the Expansion Space Work is delayed as a consequence of force majeure or Landlord Delay (in such event, the Expansion Space Confirmation Letter Agreement will restate
6 |
the Base Rent schedule using the correct calendar dates). Notwithstanding such abatement of Base Rent, (a) all other sums due under the Lease, including Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Basic Operating Costs, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Property Taxes and Additional Rent, shall be payable as provided in the Lease, and (b) any increases in Base Rent set forth above shall occur on the dates scheduled therefor. The abatement of Base Rent provided for above is conditioned upon Tenant’s full and timely performance of all of its obligations under the Lease. If at any time during the Term Tenant defaults under any term or provision of the Lease, as amended hereby, and fails to cure such default within the prescribed cure period, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord, in addition to all other amounts due to Landlord under the Lease, as amended hereby, a prorated amount of all Base Rent hereinabove abated (i.e., up to $73,429.20, depending on when such default and failure to cure timely occurs), which portion shall be based on the ratio between the number of days remaining in the Expansion Space Term as of the date of the end of all applicable cure periods for such event of default, and the total number of days in the Expansion Space Term. No such payment by Tenant of any portion of the abated Base Rent shall constitute a waiver by Landlord of any default of Tenant or any election of remedies by Landlord.
5.Tenant’s Proportionate Share; Base Year. Effective as of the Expansion Space Commencement Date, (i) Tenant’s Proportionate Share with respect to the Expansion Space shall be 2.44% (i.e., 6,799/278,596), and (ii) the Base Year for the Expansion Space shall be calendar year 2020.
6.Parking. During the Expansion Space Term, in connection with Xxxxxx’s lease of the Expansion Space, Tenant shall have the right to use up to seven (7) additional unreserved parking spaces in the Parking Garage at the prevailing rates established by Landlord for the Building from time to time.
7.Signage. Subject to and in compliance with the terms of Section 4.4 of the Original Lease, Landlord, at its sole cost, shall furnish Tenant with space on the Building directory for the Expansion Space.
8.Give Back Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, if during the Expansion Space Term, Tenant leases the entirety of one or more floors in the Building (other than the Existing Premises or the Expansion Space) (such floor(s) referred to herein as the “Additional Expansion Space”), Tenant shall, upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord, have the one-time option, without penalty, to terminate the Lease with respect to the Expansion Space only, which termination shall be effective on the third (3rd) consecutive day after the date on which Tenant moves into the Additional Expansion Space, and Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease memorializing the termination of the Expansion Space and the lease of the Additional Expansion Space on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to both parties.
9.Landlord’s Representatives. Effective immediately, the terms “Landlord’s Representatives” and “Landlord Parties” as used in the Lease shall include AXA Real Estate Investment Managers US LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“AXA”). Furthermore, Tenant shall include AXA as an additional insured to its insurance policies required under the Lease.
