Base Rent shall be paid on the first day of each month of the Term, except that Subtenant shall pay one (1) month’s Base Rent to Sublandlord upon execution of this Sublease and delivery of this Sublease to Sublandlord; said pre-paid Base Rent will be applied to the first (1st) month’s Base Rent due and payable hereunder following the Abatement Period, defined below. If the Term does not begin on the first day of a calendar month or end on the last day of a month, the Base Rent and Additional Rent (hereinafter defined) for any partial month shall be prorated by multiplying the monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of the partial month included in the Term and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the full calendar month. All Rent (hereinafter defined) shall be payable in lawful money of the United States, by regular bank check of Subtenant, to Sublandlord at the following address:
0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxx, XX 00000
Attn: Lease Administration
or to such other persons or at such other places as Sublandlord may designate in writing.
(b) Abatement. Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.1(a) above to the contrary, so long as Subtenant is not in default under this Sublease, Subtenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Base Rent starting on the Commencement Date and continuing until November 30, 2015 (the “Abatement Period”). The total amount of Base Rent abated during the Abatement Period is referred to herein as the “Abated Rent.” If Subtenant is in default hereunder at any time during the Term, then, following any applicable notice and cure periods, if such default occurs prior to the expiration of the Abatement Period, there will be no further abatement of Base Rent pursuant to this Section 3.1(b). In the event of bankruptcy, all then-unamortized Abated Rent (assuming amortization of all Abated Rent on a straight-line basis over the Term) shall immediately become due and payable. The payment by Subtenant of the Abated Rent in the event of a default shall not limit or affect any of Sublandlord’s other rights, pursuant to this Sublease or at law or in equity. During the Abatement Period, only Base Rent shall be abated, and all other costs and charges specified in this Sublease shall remain as due and payable pursuant to the provisions of this Sublease.

(1) “Additional Rent” shall mean the sums payable pursuant to Section 3.2(b) below.
(2) “Base Operating Costs” shall mean Operating Costs payable by Sublandlord to Landlord for the Master Lease Premises during the Base Year.

(5) “Operating Costs” shall mean Operating Costs (as defined in the Master Lease) charged by Landlord to Sublandlord pursuant to the Master Lease.
(6) “Rent” shall mean, collectively, Base Rent, Additional Rent, and all other sums payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord under this Sublease, whether or not expressly designated as “rent,” all of which are deemed and designated as rent pursuant to the terms of this Sublease.
(7) “Subtenant’s Percentage Share” shall mean 51.25%.
(8) “Tax Expenses” shall mean Real Estate Taxes (as defined in the Master Lease) payable by Sublandlord to Landlord for the Master Lease Premises during the Base Year.
(b) Payment of Additional Rent. In addition to the Base Rent payable pursuant to Section 3.1 above, from and after the expiration of the Base Year, for each calendar year of the Term, Subtenant, as Additional Rent, shall pay (i) Subtenant’s Percentage Share of the amount by which Operating Costs payable by Sublandlord for the then current calendar year exceed Base Operating Costs, plus (ii) Subtenant’s Percentage Share of the amount by which Tax Expenses payable by Sublandlord for the then current calendar year exceed Base Tax Expenses. Sublandlord shall give Subtenant written notice of Sublandlord’s estimate of the amount of Additional Rent per month payable pursuant to this Section 3.2(b) for each calendar year after the Base Year promptly following the Sublandlord’s receipt of Landlord’s estimate of the Operating Costs payable under the Master Lease. Thereafter, the Additional Rent payable pursuant to this Section 3.2(b) shall be determined and adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2(c) below.
(c) Procedure. The determination and adjustment of Additional Rent payable hereunder shall be made in accordance with the following procedures:
(1) Delivery of Estimate; Payment. Upon receipt of a statement from Landlord specifying the estimated Operating Costs to be charged to Sublandlord under the Master Lease with respect to each calendar year, or as soon after receipt of such statement as practicable, Sublandlord shall give Subtenant written notice of its estimate of Additional Rent payable under Section 3.2(b) for the ensuing calendar year, which estimate shall be prepared based on the estimate received from Landlord (as Landlord’s estimate may change from time to time), together with a copy of the statement received from Landlord. On or before the first day of each month during each calendar year, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord as Additional Rent one-twelfth (1/12th) of such estimated amount together with the Base Rent.
(2) Sublandlord’s Failure to Deliver Estimate. In the event Sublandlord’s notice set forth in Subsection 3.2(c)(1) is not given on or before December 15 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year for which Sublandlord’s notice is applicable, as the case may be, then until the calendar month after such notice is delivered by Sublandlord, Subtenant shall continue to pay to Sublandlord monthly, during the ensuing calendar year, estimated payments equal to the amounts payable hereunder during the calendar year just ended. Upon receipt of any such post-December notice Subtenant shall (i) commence as of the immediately following calendar month, and continue for the remainder of the calendar year, to pay to Sublandlord monthly such new estimated payments and (ii) if the monthly installment of the new estimate of such Additional Rent is greater than the monthly installment of the estimate for the previous calendar year, pay to Sublandlord within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice an amount equal to the difference of such monthly installment multiplied by the number of full and partial calendar months of such year preceding the delivery of such notice.
(d) Year End Reconciliation. Following the receipt by Sublandlord of a final statement of Operating Costs from Landlord with respect to each calendar year, Sublandlord shall deliver to Subtenant a statement of the adjustment to be made pursuant to Section 3.2 above for the calendar year
just ended, together with a copy of any corresponding statement received by Sublandlord from Landlord. If on the basis of such statement Subtenant owes an amount that is less than the estimated payments actually made by Subtenant for the calendar year just ended, Sublandlord shall credit such excess to the next payments of Rent coming due or, if the term of this Sublease is about to expire, promptly refund such excess to Subtenant. If on the basis of such statement Subtenant owes an amount that is more than the estimated payments for the calendar year just ended previously made by Subtenant, Subtenant shall pay the deficiency to Sublandlord within thirty (30) days after delivery of the final statement from Sublandlord to Subtenant.
(e) Audit. Section 4.5 of the Original Lease is hereby incorporated in this Sublease, as amended by this Section 3.2(e). Pursuant to Section 4.5 of the Original Lease, Sublandlord has the right to examine Landlord’s books and records for any period for which Landlord has given Sublandlord a statement of Operating Costs and Real Estate Taxes and other charges under the Master Lease. If, within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of an Operating Expense Statement from Sublandlord, Subtenant notifies Sublandlord that Subtenant desires to review Landlord’s records and identifies for Sublandlord those items Subtenant wishes to challenge, Sublandlord shall forward to Landlord within the time period set forth in Section 4.5 of the Original Lease Subtenant’s challenge, and Sublandlord further agrees to exercise the review rights granted to Sublandlord under such Section 4.5 with respect thereto; provided, that the following terms and conditions are met: (i) Subtenant has not received notice from Sublandlord of a default under this Sublease which has occurred and is continuing at the time of making such request, and (ii) Subtenant shall be responsible for all of out-of-pocket costs and expenses paid by Sublandlord to perform such review and to comply with the results of such review, which costs and expenses shall be paid by Subtenant no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublandlord shall have no obligation or liability to Subtenant if Landlord disputes the result of Subtenant’s challenge, other than pursuing arbitration as provided in Section 4.5.3 of the Original Lease if so elected by Sublandlord in its sole but reasonable discretion; provided, however, if Sublandlord so elects to arbitrate, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall each bear the cost of such arbitration in proportion to their respective interests in the Subleased Premises and Master Lease Premises, as applicable. Further, Sublandlord shall have the right to require Subtenant to deposit with Sublandlord an amount equal to Subtenant’s share of the arbitration costs before such arbitration commences. Sublandlord and Subtenant shall share in any reduction, refund or credit obtained or realized in connection with any such examination or arbitration based on their respective interests in the Subleased Premises and Master Lease Premises, as applicable.
(f) Survival. The expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease shall not affect the obligations of Sublandlord and Subtenant pursuant to Subsection 3.2(d), and such obligations shall survive, remain to be performed after, any expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.
4. Letter of Credit
(g) Initial Letter of Credit. Concurrently with Subtenant’s execution and delivery to Sublandlord of this Sublease, Subtenant has delivered to Sublandlord, as collateral for the full performance by Subtenant of all of its obligations under this Sublease and for all losses and damages Sublandlord may suffer as a result of Subtenant’s failure to comply with one or more provisions of this Sublease, including, but not limited to, any post lease termination damages under section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code an unconditional, irrevocable, transferable standby letter of credit (the “Initial Letter of Credit”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D in the amount of One Million One Hundred Six Thousand Four Hundred Sixty Eight AND 64/100 Dollars ($1,106,468.64) (the “Letter of Credit Amount”), issued by a financial institution (the “Issuing Bank”) acceptable to Sublandlord. Subtenant shall cause the Letter of Credit to be continuously maintained in effect (whether through a Replacement
Letter of Credit (defined below), amendment, renewal or extension) through the date (the “Final Letter of Credit Expiration Date”) that is the later to occur of (i) the date that is forty-five (45) days after the scheduled expiration date of the Term and (ii) the date that is forty-five (45) days after Subtenant vacates the Subleased Premises and completes any restoration or repair obligations.
(h) Drawing Under Letter of Credit. Without prejudice to any other remedy available to Sublandlord under this Sublease or at law, Sublandlord may draw upon the Initial Letter of Credit or any Replacement Letter of Credit on or after the occurrence of either: (i) an uncured event of default under this Sublease; (ii) any failure by Subtenant to deliver to Sublandlord a Replacement Letter of Credit as and when required pursuant to this Section 4; (iii) an uncured failure by Subtenant to perform one or more of its obligations under this Sublease and the existence of circumstances in which Sublandlord is enjoined or otherwise prevented by operation of law from giving to Subtenant a written notice which would be necessary for such failure of performance to constitute an event of default, or (iv) the appointment of a receiver to take possession of all or substantially all of the assets of Subtenant, or an assignment of Subtenant for the benefit of creditors, or any action taken or suffered by Subtenant under any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other debtor relief proceedings, whether now existing or hereafter amended or enacted; provided that in the event of (i) or (iii), Sublandlord may, at Sublandlord’s sole option, draw upon a portion of the face amount of the Initial Letter of Credit or any Replacement Letter of Credit, as applicable, as required to compensate Sublandlord for damages incurred (with subsequent demands at Sublandlord’s sole election as Sublandlord incurs further damage).
(i) Delivery of Replacement Letter of Credit. Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord a new letter of credit (a “Replacement Letter of Credit”) (the Initial Letter of Credit and/or any Replacement Letter of Credit being referred to herein as a “Letter of Credit”) at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiry date of the Initial Letter of Credit or of any Replacement Letter of Credit held by Sublandlord. Each Replacement Letter of Credit delivered by Subtenant to Sublandlord shall: (i) be issued by a banking institution acceptable to Sublandlord; (ii) be in the same form as the letter of credit attached to this Sublease as Exhibit D; (iii) bear an expiry date not earlier than one (1) year from the date when such Replacement Letter of Credit is delivered to Sublandlord; and (iv) be in an amount not less than the Letter of Credit Amount. Upon the delivery to Sublandlord of a Replacement Letter of Credit as described in this Section 4, Sublandlord shall return to Subtenant the Initial Letter of Credit or any previous Replacement Letter of Credit then held by Sublandlord.
(j) Proceeds of Draw. All proceeds of a draw upon any Letter of Credit shall constitute Sublandlord’s sole and separate property (and not Subtenant’s property or the property of Subtenant’s bankruptcy estate) and Sublandlord may immediately upon any draw permitted hereunder (after Sublandlord has made such draw, Sublandlord shall endeavor to provide Subtenant with notice of such draw; provided, however, Sublandlord’s failure to provide such notice shall not render Sublandlord in default of its obligations hereunder) and apply or offset the proceeds of the Letter of Credit: (i) against any Rent payable by Subtenant under this Sublease that is not paid when due following any applicable notice and cure periods; (ii) against all losses and damages that Sublandlord has suffered, including any damages arising under section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code following termination of this Sublease, to the extent permitted by this Sublease; (iii) against any costs incurred by Sublandlord permitted to be reimbursed pursuant to this Sublease (including reasonable attorneys’ fees); and (iv) against any other amount that Sublandlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Subtenant’s default for which Sublandlord shall be entitled to seek reimbursement in accordance with this Sublease.
(k) Sublandlord’s Transfer. If Sublandlord conveys or transfers its interest in the Subleased Premises and, as a part of such conveyance or transfer, Sublandlord assigns its interest in this Sublease: (i) any Letter of Credit shall be transferred to Sublandlord’s successor; (ii) Sublandlord
shall be released and discharged from any further liability to Subtenant with respect to such Letter of Credit; and (iii) any Replacement Letter of Credit thereafter delivered by Subtenant shall state the name of the successor to Sublandlord as the beneficiary of such Replacement Letter of Credit and shall contain such modifications in the text of the Replacement Letter of Credit as are required to appropriately reflect the transfer of the interest of Sublandlord in the Premises.
(l) Additional Covenants of Subtenant. If, as result of any application or use by Sublandlord of all or any part of the Letter of Credit, the amount of the Letter of Credit plus any cash proceeds previously drawn by Sublandlord and not applied pursuant to this Section 4 shall be less than the Letter of Credit Amount (subject to any reduction permitted in accordance with Section 4(h) below), Subtenant shall, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, provide Sublandlord with additional letter(s) of credit in an amount equal to the deficiency (or a replacement or amended letter of credit in the total Letter of Credit Amount), and any such additional (or replacement or amended) letter of credit shall comply with all of the provisions of this Section 4; if Subtenant fails to timely comply with the foregoing, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease, the same shall constitute a default by Subtenant without the necessity of additional notice or the passage of additional grace periods. Subtenant further covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the Letter of Credit or any part thereof and that neither Sublandlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.
(m) Nature of Letter of Credit. Sublandlord and Subtenant (1) acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the Letter of Credit or any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or any proceeds thereof be deemed to be or treated as a “security deposit” under any law applicable to security deposits in the commercial context including Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code (as now existing or hereafter amended or succeeded, “Security Deposit Laws”), (2) acknowledge and agree that the Letter of Credit (including any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or any proceed thereof) is not intended to serve as a security deposit, and the Security Deposit Laws shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto, and (3) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations either party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws.
(n) Reduction in Letter of Credit Amount. Provided that Subtenant is not in default (beyond all applicable notice and cure periods) at the time of such request, the Letter of Credit Amount may be reduced as follows: (i) to Seven Hundred Thirty-Seven Thousand Six Hundred Forty-Five AND 76/100 Dollars ($737,645.76), at any time after December 31, 2017; and (ii) to Three Hundred Sixty-Eight Thousand Eight Hundred Twenty-Two AND 88/100 Dollars ($368,822.88), at any time after December 31, 2019. Any reduction in the Letter of Credit Amount shall be accomplished by Subtenant providing Sublandlord with a substitute letter of credit or amendment thereto in the reduced amount. In no event shall the Letter of Credit Amount be reduced below Three Hundred Sixty-Eight Thousand Eight Hundred Twenty-Two AND 88/100 Dollars ($368,822.88) during the Term.
5. Use and Occupancy.
5.1 Use. The Subleased Premises shall be used and occupied only for the uses set forth in Section 5.1 of the Original Lease and Section 22(f) of the Second Amendment, and for no other use or purpose.
5.2 Compliance with Master Lease. Subtenant will occupy the Subleased Premises in accordance with the terms of the Master Lease and will not suffer to be done, or omit to do, any act which may result in a violation of or a default under the Master Lease, or render Sublandlord liable for any damage, charge or expense thereunder. Subtenant will indemnify, defend protect and hold
Sublandlord harmless from and against any loss, cost, damage or liability (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of any kind or nature arising out of, by reason of, or resulting from, Subtenant’s failure to perform or observe any of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease or this Sublease. Sublandlord convenants and agrees (x) to comply with all provisions of the Master Lease applicable to the Subleased Premises so as to not cause an Event of Default under the Master Lease with respect to this Sublease, (y) not to enter into any agreement amending or modifying the Master Lease in a way that would adversely affect Subtenant’s rights under this Sublease, or (z) not to terminate the Master Lease other than a termination expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease or a partial termination that does not adversely affect Subtenant’s rights under this Sublease (collectively, the “Modification Covenants”). In the event that Sublandlord is in breach of the Modification Covenants, Subtenant expressly reserves all of its rights and remedies at equity and under applicable law with respect to such breach. Any other provision in this Sublease to the contrary notwithstanding, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord as Rent hereunder any and all sums which Sublandlord may be required to pay the Landlord arising out of a request by Subtenant for, or the use by Subtenant of, additional or over-standard Building services from Landlord (for example, but not by way of limitation, charges associated with after-hour HVAC usage and overstandard electrical charges).
5.3 Landlord’s Obligations. Subtenant agrees that Sublandlord shall not be required to perform any of the covenants, agreements and/or obligations of Landlord under the Master Lease and, insofar as any of the covenants, agreements and obligations of Sublandlord hereunder are required to be performed under the Master Lease by Landlord thereunder, Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that Sublandlord shall be entitled to look to Landlord for such performance. In addition, Sublandlord shall have no obligation to perform any repairs or any other obligation of Landlord under the Master Lease. Sublandlord shall not be responsible for any failure or interruption, for any reason whatsoever, of the services or facilities that may be appurtenant to or supplied at the Building by Landlord or otherwise, including, without limitation, heat, air conditioning, ventilation, life-safety, water, electricity, elevator service and cleaning service, if any; and no failure to furnish, or interruption of, any such services or facilities shall give rise to any (i) abatement, diminution or reduction of Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease, or (ii) liability on the part of Sublandlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublandlord shall promptly take such action as may reasonably be indicated, under the circumstances, to secure such performance upon Subtenant’s request to Sublandlord to do so and shall thereafter diligently prosecute such performance on the part of Landlord.

7. Assignment and Subletting. Subtenant shall not assign this Sublease or further sublet all or any part of the Subleased Premises except subject to and in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease (including, without limitation, Section 6 of the Original Lease and Section 21 of the Second Amendment), and Sublandlord (in addition to Landlord) shall have the same rights with respect to assignment and subleasing as Landlord has under the Master Lease. Subtenant shall pay all fees and costs payable to Landlord pursuant to the Master Lease in connection with any proposed assignment, sublease or transfer of the Subleased Premises, together with all of Sublandlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs relating to Subtenant’s request for such consent, regardless of whether such consent is granted, and the effectiveness of any such consent shall be conditioned upon Landlord’s and Sublandlord’s receipt of all such fees and costs.
8. Default. Except as expressly set forth herein, Subtenant shall perform all obligations in respect of the Subleased Premises that Sublandlord would be required to perform pursuant to the Master Lease. Subtenant shall be in default hereunder if Subtenant fails to perform any obligation hereunder (including, without limitation, the obligation to pay Rent), or any obligation of the Master Lease which has been incorporated herein by reference, and, in each instance, Subtenant has not remedied such failure (i) in the case of any monetary default, three (3) business days after delivery of written notice and (ii) in the case of any other default, ten (10) calendar days after delivery of written notice.
9. Remedies. In the event of any default hereunder by Subtenant, Sublandlord shall have all remedies provided to the “Landlord” in the Master Lease as if a default had occurred thereunder and all other rights and remedies otherwise available at law and in equity. Sublandlord may resort to its remedies cumulatively or in the alternative.
10. Right to Cure Defaults. If Subtenant fails to perform any of its obligations under this Sublease after expiration of applicable grace or cure periods, then Sublandlord may, but shall not be obligated to, perform any such obligations for Subtenant’s account. All costs and expenses incurred by Sublandlord in performing any such act for the account of Subtenant shall be deemed Rent payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord upon demand, together with interest thereon at the lesser of (i) ten percent (10%) per annum or (ii) the maximum rate allowable under law from the date of the expenditure until repaid. If Sublandlord undertakes to perform any of Subtenant’s obligations for the account of Subtenant pursuant hereto, the taking of such action shall not constitute a waiver of any of Sublandlord’s remedies. Subtenant hereby expressly waives its rights under any statute to make repairs at the expense of Sublandlord.
11. Consents and Approvals. In any instance when Sublandlord’s consent or approval is required under this Sublease, Sublandlord’s refusal to consent to or approve any matter or thing shall be deemed reasonable if, among other matters, such consent or approval is required under the provisions of the Master Lease incorporated herein by reference but has not been obtained from Landlord. Except as otherwise provided herein, Sublandlord shall not unreasonably withhold, or delay its consent to or approval of a matter if such consent or approval is required under the provisions of the Master Lease and Landlord has consented to or approved of such matter.
12. Limitation of Liability; Sublandlord Default
12.1 Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Sublease, the liability of Sublandlord to Subtenant for any default in Sublandlord’s obligations under this Sublease shall be limited to actual, direct damages, and under no circumstances shall Subtenant, its partners, members, shareholders, directors, agents, officers, employees, contractors, sublessees, successors and/or assigns be entitled to recover from Sublandlord (or otherwise be indemnified by Sublandlord) for (a) any losses, costs, claims, causes of action, damages or other liability incurred in connection with a failure of Landlord, its partners, members, shareholders, directors, agents, officers, employees, contractors, successors and/or assigns to perform or cause to be performed Landlord’s obligations under the Master Lease, (b) lost revenues, lost profit or other consequential, special or punitive damages arising in connection with this Sublease for any reason, or (c) any damages or other liability arising from or incurred in connection with the condition of the Subleased Premises or suitability of the Subleased Premises for Subtenant’s intended uses. Subtenant shall, however, have the right to seek any injunctive or other equitable remedies as may be available to Subtenant under applicable law. Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Sublease, no personal liability shall at any time be asserted or enforceable against Sublandlord’s shareholders, directors, officers, or partners on account of any of Sublandlord’s obligations or actions under this Sublease. As used in this Sublease, the term “Sublandlord” means the holder of the tenant’s interest under the Master Lease and “Sublandlord” means the holder of sublandlord’s interest under this Sublease. In the event of any assignment or transfer of the Sublandlord’s interest under this Sublease, which assignment or transfer may occur at any time during the Term in Sublandlord’s sole discretion, Sublandlord shall be and hereby is entirely relieved of all covenants and obligations of Sublandlord hereunder accruing subsequent to the date of the transfer and it shall be deemed and construed, without further agreement between the parties hereto, that any transferee has assumed and shall carry out all covenants and obligations thereafter to be performed by Sublandlord hereunder. Sublandlord may transfer and deliver any then-existing security deposit to the transferee of Sublandlord’s interest under this Sublease, and thereupon Sublandlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect thereto.
12.2 Sublandlord shall be in default hereunder only if Sublandlord has not commenced and pursued with reasonable diligence the cure of any failure of Sublandlord to meet its obligations hereunder within twenty (20) days after the receipt by Sublandlord of written notice from Subtenant of the alleged failure to perform in strict accordance with Section 17. Failure to provide the requisite notice and cure period by Subtenant under this paragraph shall be an absolute defense by Sublandlord against any claims, counterclaims or defenses of Subtenant based on the alleged failure by Sublandlord to perform any of its obligations. In no event shall Subtenant have the right to terminate or rescind this Sublease as a result of Sublandlord’s default as to any covenant or agreement contained in this Sublease. Subtenant hereby waives such remedies of termination and rescission and hereby agrees that Subtenant’s remedies for default hereunder and for breach of any promise or inducement shall be limited to a suit for damages and/or injunction.
13. Attorneys’ Fees. If Sublandlord or Subtenant brings an action to enforce the terms hereof or to declare rights hereunder, the prevailing party who recovers substantially all of the damages, equitable relief or other remedy sought in any such action on trial and appeal shall be entitled to receive from the other party its costs associated therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs from the other party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Sublandlord utilizes the services of an attorney for the purpose of collecting any Rent due and unpaid by Subtenant or in connection with any other breach of this Sublease by Subtenant, Subtenant agrees to pay Sublandlord reasonable actual attorneys’ fees for such services, irrespective of whether any legal action may be
commenced or filed by Sublandlord. If any such work is performed by in-house counsel for Sublandlord, the value of such work shall be determined at a reasonable hourly rate for comparable outside counsel.
14. Delivery of Possession.
14.1 Generally. Sublandlord shall deliver, and Subtenant shall accept, possession of the Subleased Premises in their “AS IS” but broom clean condition as the Subleased Premises exists on the date hereof. Sublandlord shall have no obligation to furnish, render or supply any work, labor, services, materials, furniture other than the Furniture (defined below), fixtures, equipment, decorations or other items to make the Subleased Premises ready or suitable for Subtenant’s occupancy. In making and executing this Sublease, Subtenant has relied solely on such investigations, examinations and inspections as Subtenant has chosen to make or has made and has not relied on any representation or warranty concerning the Subleased Premises or the Building, except as expressly set forth in this Sublease. Subtenant acknowledges that Sublandlord has afforded Subtenant the opportunity for full and complete investigations, examinations and inspections of the Subleased Premises and the common areas of the Building. Subtenant acknowledges that it is not authorized to make or do any alterations or improvements in or to the Subleased Premises except as permitted by the provisions of this Sublease and the Master Lease and that upon termination of this Sublease, Subtenant shall deliver the Subleased Premises to Sublandlord in the same condition as the Subleased Premises were at the commencement of the Term, reasonable wear and tear excepted; Subtenant acknowledges that Subtenant shall, at either Sublandlord’s or Landlord’s election, and at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, remove from the Subleased Premises some or all of the Subtenant Improvements constructed therein by Subtenant, except any Subtenant Improvements as to which restoration has been waived at the time Landlord approved the same; additionally, at Subtenant’s cost, Subtenant will remove all telecommunications and data cabling installed by or for the benefit of Subtenant after the Early Access Date.
14.2 Subtenant’s Improvements.
(a) Initial Subtenant Improvements. In anticipation of Subtenant’s occupancy of the Subleased Premises, Subtenant desires to construct initial improvements within the Subleased Premises (the “Initial Subtenant Improvements”), which shall be carried out in accordance with this Sublease, the applicable provisions of the Master Lease, and in accordance with the Work Agreement for Initial Subtenant Improvements (the “Work Agreement”) attached hereto as Exhibit E. Sublandlord and Landlord will have the right to approve the plans and specifications for the Initial Subtenant Improvements, as well as any contractors whom Subtenant proposes to retain to perform such work, as more particularly set forth in the Work Agreement. Prior to the Early Access Date, Subtenant shall submit to Sublandlord and Landlord the Space Plan (as defined in the Work Agreement). Sublandlord, at no cost to Sublandlord, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain permission from Landlord to allow Subtenant to leave in the Subleased Premises some or all of the Initial Subtenant Improvements (as shown on the Space Plan) at the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease; provided however, should Landlord require that some or all of the Initial Subtenant Improvements be removed from the Subleased Premises, Subtenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove the Initial Subtenant Improvements as required by Landlord and surrender the Subleased Premises in accordance with the terms of this Sublease and the Master Lease.
(b) Additional Subtenant Improvements. If Subtenant desires to construct additional improvements within the Subleased Premises (“Subtenant Improvements”), all Subtenant Improvements shall also be carried out in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Master Lease. Sublandlord will have the right to approve the plans and specifications for any proposed Subtenant Improvements, as well as any contractors whom Subtenant proposes to retain to perform such work.
Subtenant will submit all such information for Sublandlord’s review and written approval prior to commencement of any such work; Sublandlord will similarly submit such plans to Landlord for review and approval. Promptly following the completion of any Subtenant Improvements or subsequent alterations or additions by or on behalf of Subtenant, Subtenant will deliver to Sublandlord a reproducible copy of “as built” drawings of such work together with a CAD file of the “as-built” drawings in the then-current version of AutoCad.
(c) Code-Required Work. If the performance of any Subtenant Improvements or other work by Subtenant within the Subleased Premises “triggers” a requirement for code-related upgrades to or improvements of any portion of the Building, Subtenant shall be responsible for the cost of such code-required upgrade or improvements.
15. Holdover. If Subtenant fails to surrender the Subleased Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, occupancy of the Subleased Premises after the termination or expiration shall be that of a tenancy at sufferance. Subtenant’s occupancy of the Subleased Premises during the holdover shall be subject to all the terms and provisions of this Sublease and Subtenant shall pay an amount (on a per month basis without reduction for partial months during the holdover) equal to 150% of the sum of the Base Rent and Additional Rent due for the period immediately preceding the holdover. No holdover by Subtenant or payment by Subtenant after the expiration or early termination of this Sublease shall be construed to extend the Term or prevent Sublandlord from immediate recovery of possession of the Subleased Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise. In addition to the payment of the amounts provided above, if Sublandlord is unable to deliver possession of the Subleased Premises to a new subtenant or to Landlord, as the case may be, or to perform improvements for a new subtenant, as a result of Subtenant’s holdover, Subtenant shall be liable to Sublandlord for all damages, including, without limitation, consequential damages, that Sublandlord suffers from the holdover; Subtenant expressly acknowledges that such damages may include all of the holdover rent charged by Landlord under the Master Lease as a result of Subtenant’s holdover, which Master Lease holdover rent may apply to the entire Master Lease Premises.
16. Parking. Subject to the terms of the Master Lease and Landlord’s consent, during the Term, Subtenant shall be permitted to use Two Hundred Eighty Four (284) of the total parking spaces allocated to Sublandlord in the Master Lease, of which five (5) parking spaces shall be located at the entrance on the east side of the Building and an additional five (5) parking spaces shall be located at the entrance of the west side of the Building, all as more particularly depicted on Exhibit F attached hereto.
17. Notices: Any notice by either party to the other required, permitted or provided for herein shall be valid only if in writing and shall be deemed to be duly given only if (a) delivered personally, or (b) sent by means of Federal Express, UPS Next Day Air or another reputable express mail delivery service guaranteeing next day delivery, or (c) sent by United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, addressed: (i) if to Sublandlord, at the following addresses:

or at such other address for either party as that party may designate by notice to the other. A notice shall be deemed given and effective, if delivered personally, upon hand delivery thereof (unless such delivery takes place after hours or on a holiday or weekend, in which event the notice shall be deemed given on the next succeeding business day), if sent via overnight courier, on the business day next succeeding delivery to the courier, and if mailed by United States certified or registered mail, three (3) business days following such mailing in accordance with this Section.
18. Furniture.
18.1 Excess Furniture. Within ten (10) business days after the Effective Date, Subtenant shall provide Sublandlord with written notice (the “Furniture Notice”) of any furniture and equipment currently in the Subleased Premises that Subtenant will desire to have removed therefrom (the “Excess Furniture”). Sublandlord shall remove the Excess Furniture from the Subleased Premises within thirty (30) days after the receipt of Subtenant’s notice.
18.2 Furniture. During the Term, at no charge to Subtenant, Subtenant shall be permitted to use the remaining existing modular and office furniture located in the Subleased Premises and described in more particular detail in Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Office Furniture”) as well as all equipment and associated data cabling existing in the Subleased Premises (the Office Furniture together with any equipment and data cabling, being referred to collectively as the “Furniture”). Subtenant shall accept the Furniture in its current condition without any warranty of fitness from Sublandlord (Subtenant expressly acknowledges that no warranty is made by Sublandlord with respect to the condition of any cabling currently located in or serving the Subleased Premises or with respect to the fitness of such cabling for Subtenant’s intend use thereof). For purposes of documenting the current condition of the Office Furniture, Subtenant and Sublandlord shall, within ten (10) days after Sublandlord’s receipt of the Furniture Notice, conduct a joint walk-through of the Subleased Premises in order to inventory items of damage or disrepair. Subtenant shall use the Furniture only for the purposes for which such Furniture is intended and shall be responsible for the proper maintenance, insurance, care and repair of the Furniture, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense. Subtenant shall not modify, reconfigure or relocate any of the Furniture except with the advance written notice to Sublandlord, and any work of modifying any Furniture (including, without limitation, changing the configuration of, “breaking down”
or reassembly of cubicles or other modular furniture) shall be performed at Subtenant’s sole cost. No item of Furniture shall be removed from the Subleased Premises without Sublandlord’s prior written consent.
18.3 Automatic Transfer of Furniture to Subtenant. In consideration of One Dollar ($1.00) and Subtenant’s performance of its obligations under this Sublease, as of the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Expiration Date (the “Furniture Transfer Date”), all of Sublandlord’s right, title and interest in and to the Furniture shall automatically be transferred to Subtenant. The Furniture shall be so transferred to Subtenant on an “as is” basis with no representation or warranty of any kind from, and no recourse against, Sublandlord; provided, however, that Sublandlord represents and warrants as of the Furniture Transfer Date that it owns all of the Furniture free and clear of all liens and encumbrances and has the authority to so transfer the Furniture. Thereafter, Subtenant shall be solely responsible for the proper removal of the Furniture from the Subleased Premises and the Building in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Master Lease. Sublandlord and Subtenant confirm that the transfer of ownership of the Furniture shall occur automatically on the Furniture Transfer Date and that this Sublease shall constitute a xxxx of sale evidencing the transfer of the Furniture on the Furniture Transfer Date unless otherwise agreed to in a writing signed by both Sublandlord and Subtenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 18 to the contrary, if prior to the Furniture Transfer Date Subtenant is in default hereunder, then at Sublandlord’s election, the automatic transfer of all of Sublandlord’s right, title and interest in and to the Furniture shall be voidable by Sublandlord. If Sublandlord so elects to void such transfer, then Sublandlord shall provide notice of such election to Subtenant. In such event, (i) prior to or promptly following the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease, Sublandlord shall conduct a walk-through of the Subleased Premises to catalog any items of damage, disrepair, misuse or loss among the Furniture (reasonable wear and tear excepted), and (ii) Subtenant shall be responsible, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, for curing any such items (including, with respect to loss, replacing any lost item with a substantially similar item reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord).
19. Security System. Subtenant acknowledges that Sublandlord currently has a security system monitoring access to the Master Lease Premises. Subtenant acknowledges that there are card readers installed throughout the Subleased Premises which are part of Sublandlord’s security system (the “Security System”). The Security System shall be deemed part of the Furniture (but shall in no event constitute Excess Furniture), and shall be transferred to Subtenant in accordance with Section 18.3 above. Subtenant shall have the right to use the Security System governing access to the Subleased Premises and shall be solely responsible for obtaining all security cards necessary for use in connection with the same. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, Subtenant hereby acknowledges that except for making the card key reader system available to Subtenant as part of the Furniture, Sublandlord shall not be responsible for maintaining and/or repairing the Security System, or providing security services to Subtenant. Subtenant shall be solely responsible for providing its own security service and for all maintenance and repair of the Security System. Further, Subtenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, be solely responsible for the proper removal of the Security System from the Subleased Premises and the Building at the expiration or early termination of this Sublease in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Master Lease.
20. Signage. Subtenant hereby acknowledges that pursuant to Section 11(d) of the Second Amendment, the rights to install Exterior Signs and Monument Signs as defined in the Master Lease are not available to any assignee, or any sublessee or other transferee of Sublandlord, and are conditioned on Sublandlord not leasing more than fifty percent (50%) of the Master Lease Premises. Subtenant shall have the right to install Exterior Signs and Monument Signs as agreed to by Master Landlord in the Consent, and upon such terms and conditions as Master Landlord may require. Additionally, Subtenant,
subject to and upon procurement of Landlord’s consent, shall have the right to install signage identifying Subtenant at the entrance to the Subleased Premises and in the Building’s lobby directory. Subtenant shall have no right to install marquee or pole signage. Subtenant’s rights to install signage as set forth in this Section 20 shall at all times be subject to the Master Lease, including, without limitation, the obligation that Subtenant, at its sole cost and expense, (a) install and maintain all signage provided hereunder, and (b) at the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, remove all such signage and repair any damage caused by the removal of the same.
21. Additional Provisions: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease, in the event of any conflict with another provision of this Sublease, the provisions of this Section 21 shall take precedence and govern.
21.1 Violations of Legal Requirements. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Sublease to the contrary, Subtenant shall not be liable to Sublandlord or responsible for the costs of correcting any violation of or noncompliance with applicable Legal Requirements with respect to the Subleased Premises if such violation or noncompliance exists on the Commencement Date.
21.2 Sublandlord Alterations. Subtenant shall not be required to remove any alterations or additions performed by Sublandlord prior to the Commencement Date (“Sublandlord Alterations”), or to restore the Subleased Premises to its condition prior to the making of such Sublandlord Alterations. If Sublandlord is required under the Master Lease to remove any Sublandlord Alterations installed prior to the Commencement Date, Subtenant shall permit Sublandlord to enter the Subleased Premises for a reasonable period of time prior to the expiration date of the Master Lease for the purpose of removing Sublandlord Alterations and restoring the Subleased Premises as required under the Master Lease.
21.3 No Master Lease Assumption. By entering into this Sublesae, Subtenant is not assuming any obligations under the Master Lease with respect to the Master Lease Premises (other than its obligations with respect to the Subleased Premises), and, for the avoidance of doubt, Subtenant shall not be liable or responsible for any acts or omissions of Sublandlord as Tenant under the Master Lease for any portion of the Master Lease Premises other than with respect to the Subleased Premises.
21.4 Master Lease. Sublandlord represents and warrants that the Master Lease attached hereto as Schedule 1 is a true and complete copy thereof.
22. Brokers. Subtenant represents that it has dealt directly with and only with Xxxxxxx & Wakefield (“Subtenant’s Broker”), as a broker in connection with this Sublease. Sublandlord represents that it has dealt directly with and only with Colliers International (“Sublandlord’s Broker”), as a broker in connection with this Sublease. Sublandlord and Subtenant shall indemnify and hold each other harmless from all claims of any brokers other than Subtenant’s Broker and Sublandlord’s Broker claiming to have represented Sublandlord or Subtenant in connection with this Sublease. Subtenant and Sublandlord agree that Subtenant’s Broker and Sublandlord’s Broker shall be paid commissions by Sublandlord in connection with this Sublease pursuant to a separate agreement.
23. Complete Agreement. There are no representations, warranties, agreements, arrangements or understandings, oral or written, between the parties or their representatives relating to the subject matter of this Sublease which are not fully expressed in this Sublease. This Sublease cannot be changed or terminated nor may any of its provisions be waived orally or in any manner other than by a written agreement executed by both parties.
24. Interpretation. Irrespective of the place of execution or performance, this Sublease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. If any provision of this Sublease or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Sublease and the application of that provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected but rather shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law. The table of contents, captions, headings and titles, if any, in this Sublease are solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect its interpretation. This Sublease shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party causing this Sublease or any part thereof to be drafted. If any words or phrases in this Sublease shall have been stricken out or otherwise eliminated, whether or not any other words or phrases have been added, this Sublease shall be construed as if the words or phrases so stricken out or otherwise eliminated were never included in this Sublease and no implication or inference shall be drawn from the fact that said words or phrases were so stricken out or otherwise eliminated. Each covenant, agreement, obligation or other provision of this Sublease shall be deemed and construed as a separate and independent covenant of the party bound by, undertaking or making same, not dependent on any other provision of this Sublease unless otherwise expressly provided. All terms and words used in this Sublease, regardless of the number or gender in which they are used, shall be deemed to include any other number and any other gender as the context may require. The word “person” as used in this Sublease shall mean a natural person or persons, a partnership, a corporation or any other form of business or legal association or entity.
25. USA Patriot Act Disclosures. Subtenant is currently in compliance with and shall at all times during the Term remain in compliance with the regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the Department of the Treasury (including those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons List) and any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action relating thereto.
26. Counterparts. This Sublease may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which is deemed an original but which together constitute one and the same instrument. This Sublease shall be fully executed when each party whose signature is required has signed and delivered to each of the parties at least one counterpart, even though no single counterpart contains the signatures of all of the parties hereto. This Sublease may be executed in so-called “pdf” format and each party has the right to rely upon a pdf counterpart of this Sublease signed by the other party to the same extent as if such party had received an original counterpart.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto hereby execute this Sublease as of the Effective Date.

Work Agreement for Initial Subtenant Improvements
THIS WORK AGREEMENT (“Work Agreement”) supplements the Sublease executed concurrently herewith by and between by and between ORACLE AMERICA, INC., a Delaware corporation, as Sublandlord, and CALLIDUS SOFTWARE INC., a Delaware corporation, doing business as CallidusCloud, as Subtenant. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Master Lease.
The installation and construction of the Initial Subtenant Improvements (as defined below) contemplated by this Work Agreement shall be subject to Landlord’s and Sublandlord’s prior written approval and performed in accordance with the Master Lease or the Sublease, as context should provide.
1.Sublandlord’s Work. Sublandlord shall deliver the Sublease Premises to Subtenant on the Early Access Date in their current “AS-IS” condition pursuant to Section 14.1 of the Sublease. Neither Landlord nor Sublandlord shall be required to construct any of the Initial Subtenant Improvements or any other improvements in the Subleased Premises.
2. Improvements. All improvements necessary to prepare the Subleased Premises for Subtenant’s occupancy and use (the “Initial Subtenant Improvements”) shall be performed by Subtenant, and Subtenant shall be solely responsible for all costs of constructing the Initial Subtenant Improvements of every nature (the “Subtenant Improvement Costs”), subject to the Subtenant Improvement Allowance, with Subtenant’s own contractor. The term “Subtenant Improvement Costs” shall include each and every cost of designing, constructing, engineering, permitting and approving the Initial Subtenant Improvements which shall include, but not be limited to, the following: (i) all payments to the Contractor for materials, labor, overhead, etc., for the construction of the Initial Subtenant Improvements; (ii) all payments to the Engineers and Architects to design the Initial Subtenant Improvements; (iii) approval costs; (iv) taxes, fees, charges, and levies by any governmental agency for permits, inspections or approvals of the Initial Subtenant Improvements; (v) utilities incurred in the course of the construction of the Initial Subtenant Improvements; (vi) premiums for all insurance to be carried by Subtenant under this Work Agreement; and (vii) any and all costs incurred to comply with laws related to the Subleased Premises; (viii) costs of sprinkler, electrical, HVAC and ADA compliance with laws and distribution to meet Subtenant’s Approved Working Drawings; (ix) all costs incurred interior to the Subleased Premises for life-safety compliance, and (x) the cost of Subtenant’s signage, security systems, relocation, cabling, fixtures, furniture and equipment. All matters which are not Subtenant Improvement Costs may not be paid for, or used from the Subtenant Improvement Allowance.
3. Plans and Specifications.
3.1 Preliminary Plans. Concurrent with its execution of the Sublease, Subtenant shall submit to Landlord and Sublandlord for their approval the plans and specification for the Initial Subtenant Improvements, as well as a list of all contractors whom Subtenant proposes to retain to perform such work (the “Space Plan”).
3.2 Final Space Plan. Prior to the commencement of the installation and construction of the Initial Subtenant Improvements, Landlord, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall approve the final Space Plan for the Initial Subtenant Improvements (the “Final Space Plan”). The Final Space Plan shall include a layout and designation of all offices, rooms and other partitioning, their intended use, and equipment to be contained therein. Sublandlord may request clarification or more specific drawings for special use items not included
in the Final Space Plan. Sublandlord’s and Landlord’s review and approval of the Final Space Plan is not a representation that such proposed Initial Subtenant Improvements: (i) can be accommodated by the Subleased Premises; (ii) comply with laws; or (iii) can be constructed for any certain price, and specifically, Sublandlord makes no representation or warranty that the proposed Initial Subtenant Improvements can be constructed within the Subtenant Improvement Allowance.
3.3 Final Working Drawings. Subtenant shall obtain from Sublandlord or Landlord and supply the Engineers with a complete listing of standard and non-standard equipment and specifications, including, without limitation, B.T.U. calculations, electrical requirements and special electrical receptacle requirements for the Subleased Premises, to enable the Engineers and the Architect to complete the Final Working Drawings (as that term is defined below) in the manner as set forth below. Subtenant shall cause the approved Final Space Plan to be converted by the Architect and the Engineers to complete architectural and engineering drawings for the Subleased Premises, and Architect shall compile a fully coordinated set of architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing working drawings in a form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work and to obtain all applicable permits (collectively, the “Final Working Drawings”) and shall submit the same to Sublandlord and Landlord for their approval. Subtenant shall supply Sublandlord and Landlord with four (4) copies each signed by Subtenant of such Final Working Drawings. Sublandlord and Landlord shall each advise Subtenant within three (3) business days after receipt of the Final Working Drawings for the Subleased Premises, or at a reasonably time thereafter, if the same is unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect. If Subtenant is so advised, Subtenant shall immediately revise the Final Working Drawings in accordance with such review and any disapproval of Sublandlord and/or Landlord in connection therewith.
3.4 Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge that the Final Space Plan may not depict certain structural elements of the Building and/or various elements of the Building systems which may result in material modifications to the Final Working Drawings (“Space Plan Modifications”). Furthermore, the Final Space Plan for the construction of the Initial Subtenant Improvements may require modification to account for the requirements of building codes and other legal requirements of applicable governmental entities, including, but not limited to, Title 24 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (collectively the “Building Codes”). The Final Working Drawings shall materially conform to the Final Space Plan, taking into account (i) Space Plan Modifications, (ii) the requirements of the Building Codes, (iii) other modifications resulting from physical constraints of the Subleased Premises and (iv) modifications requested by Subtenant and consented to by Sublandlord and Landlord, which consent Sublandlord shall not unreasonably withhold. Subtenant agrees that, in addition to other factors and considerations Sublandlord and Landlord, as applicable, may take into account, it shall not be unreasonable for Sublandlord or Landlord to withhold their consent to any matters set forth in the Final Working Drawings and not contained in the Final Space Plan, (i) if such requested modifications would not comply with the Building Codes or any laws, (ii) subject to Section 7 below if such requested modifications would cause the anticipated cost of the Initial Subtenant Improvements to exceed the Subtenant Improvement Allowance (as to Sublandlord only), (iii) if such requested modifications would not increase the value of the Initial Subtenant Improvements, (iv) if such requested modifications would increase the burden on the Building systems, either during construction or after completion of same.
3.5 Approved Working Drawings. The Final Working Drawings shall be submitted for approval to Sublandlord and Landlord prior to the commencement of construction of the Subtenant Initial Improvements by Subtenant. Subtenant may simultaneously submit the same to the City of Dublin for all applicable building permits. The term “Approved Working Drawings” shall mean Final Working Drawings that have been approved in writing by Sublandlord and Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Sublease, Subtenant shall not commence work on the Initial Subtenant Improvements until Subtenant
has obtained Sublandlord’s and Landlord’s written approval of the Final Working Drawings. Subtenant hereby agrees that neither Sublandlord nor Landlord, nor any of their respective consultants shall be responsible for obtaining any building permit or certificate of occupancy for the Subleased Premises and that obtaining the same shall be Subtenant’s responsibility; provided, however, that Sublandlord shall cooperate with Subtenant in executing permit applications and performing other ministerial acts reasonably necessary to enable Subtenant to obtain any such permit or certificate of occupancy and shall use its good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Landlord’s cooperation, if necessary. No changes, modifications or alterations in the Approved Working Drawings may be made without the prior written consent of Sublandlord and Landlord, which consent Sublandlord may not unreasonably withhold, except that Subtenant agrees that it shall be reasonable for Sublandlord and Landlord to withhold their consent if the any of the items set forth in sections (i) through (iv) of Section 3.4 are applicable.
4. Contractors.
4.1 The general contractor selected by Subtenant (the “Contractor”) shall be subject to the approval of Sublandlord and Landlord, which approval Sublandlord shall not unreasonably withhold. Subtenant’s Contractor shall employ engineers and subcontractors that are licensed and insured to perform all structural, mechanical, electrical, life-safety and plumbing work in the Subleased Premises, all of whom are subject to the approval of Sublandlord and Landlord, which approval Sublandlord shall not unreasonably withhold. Subtenant shall pay all costs incurred directly or indirectly by reason of Subtenant’s selection of a Contractor, including, without limitation, any costs for supervision and inspection of the construction of the Initial Subtenant Improvements required by Sublandlord or Landlord. The form of construction contract entered into by Subtenant with its general contractor shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Sublandlord and Landlord, which approval Sublandlord shall not unreasonably withhold, and shall be no less favorable than an AIA form of construction contract. Furthermore, all architects and engineers selected by Subtenant (the “Engineers” and “Architects”, respectively) shall be subject to the approval of Sublandlord and Landlord, which approval Sublandlord shall not unreasonably withhold. With respect to the construction of any Initial Subtenant Improvements which tie into Building or Master Lease Premises systems: (i) Subtenant shall provide Sublandlord and Landlord with written notice of all such work, and afford Sublandlord and Landlord a reasonable opportunity to inspect such work; (ii) Sublandlord and Landlord shall be entitled to approve of the Contractor, which approval Sublandlord shall not unreasonably withhold, and recommend contractors which each are familiar with, and who are familiar with the Master Lease Premises and the Building; and (iii) Subtenant shall solely be liable and responsible for any system damage to the Master Lease Premises or the Building, and interruptions of any Building services or utilities to all tenants who are adversely impacted.
4.2 All persons employed by Subtenant shall be subject to Sublandlord’s and Landlord’s policies, rules, regulations, schedules and administrative control and shall conduct their work in such a way as not to hinder, cause any disharmony with or delay any work or other improvements in the Master Lease Premises and/or the Building. Subtenant shall cause its suppliers and contractors to engage only labor that is harmonious and compatible with other labor working in the Master Lease Premises and the Building. In the event of any labor disturbance caused by persons employed by Subtenant or Subtenant’s contractor, Subtenant shall immediately take all actions necessary to eliminate such disturbance. If at any time any supplier, contractor, xxxxxxx or mechanic performing Subtenant’s work hinders or delays any other work of improvement in the Building or the Master Lease Premises, or performs any work which may or does impair the quality, integrity or performance of any portion of the Building (including the Master Lease Premises), Subtenant shall cause any such supplier, contractor, xxxxxxx or mechanic to leave the Building and remove all tools, equipment and materials immediately upon written notice delivered to Subtenant, and Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord or Landlord, as applicable, for any repairs or corrections resulting
from the work of any supplier, contractor, xxxxxxx or mechanic performing any work in the Subleased Premises. Subtenant and its contractors shall strictly comply with the Conditions for Construction as set forth in the Master Lease.
4.3 In addition to any other conditions contained herein with respect to Subtenant making any Initial Subtenant Improvements, before commencing construction of any Initial Subtenant Improvements, Subtenant shall (a) deliver to Sublandlord and Landlord evidence satisfactory to Sublandlord and Landlord that Subtenant shall cause the construction of the Initial Subtenant Improvements (the “Construction Activities”) for which Subtenant Improvement Allowance will be used (as defined below) to be performed by contractors who shall employ craft workers who are members of unions that are affiliated with The Building and Construction Trades Department, AFL-CIO (“Union Labor”), and such work shall conform to traditional craft jurisdictions as established in the area (the “Construction Labor Covenant”), (b) include the Construction Labor Covenant in each of its contracts for the Construction Activities, (c) provide such evidence as Sublandlord and Landlord may require, from time to time during the course of the Construction Activities, that the Construction Labor Covenant is being fully and faithfully observed and Subtenant shall include the obligation to provide such evidence in each contract entered into by Subtenant for the Construction Activities, and (d) incorporate the foregoing requirements in any sub-sublease, license, or occupancy agreement relating to all or any part of the Subleased Premises. Subtenant shall require that all contractors and subcontractors, of whatever tier, performing Construction Activities agree to submit all construction jurisdictional disputes (i.e., disputes about which union is the appropriate union to perform a given contract) to final and binding arbitration through the procedures of the jointly administered “Plan for the Settlement of Jurisdictional Disputes in the Construction Industry,” a dispute resolution plan established and administered by The Building and Construction Trades Department, AFL-CIO, and various construction industry employer associations. If a resolution to a construction-related jurisdictional dispute cannot be obtained through The Building and Construction Trades Department, AFL-CIO, contractors and subcontractors, of whatever tier, shall agree to submit all such disputes to final and binding arbitration procedures to be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and in conformity with AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules, Expedited Procedures, with an arbitrator who is an experienced labor arbitrator and is a member of the National Academy of Arbitration.

Subtenant shall be responsible for any and all modifications or changes to work performed while its permit application is pending if the City of Dublin requires changes to the Final Working Drawings in order to issue approved building permits. Subtenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sublandlord and Landlord from and against any and all claims, liabilities, causes of actions, fines or judgments in any way related to Subtenant commencing construction of the Initial Subtenant Improvements prior to receiving formal unconditional approval and building permits from the City of Dublin.

At all times during construction of the Initial Subtenant Improvements, Sublandlord and Landlord, and each of their respective employees and agents shall have the right to enter the Subleased Premises to inspect the work.

In the event that Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period is not determined at the commencement of the Extension Period, then Tenant shall continue to pay the same Rent during the Extension Period as it was paying during the last month of the Term of the Lease, until the Fair Market Rent is determined, at which time Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, any amounts owed. Landlord may require an additional security deposit from Tenant if Landlord determines that Tenant is not then as financially responsible as Tenant is on the date hereof, or that Tenant’s then financial capacity and creditworthiness indicates that Tenant may not be able to undertake and perform all the obligations of Tenant under this Lease through the Extension Period.

3. BASE RENT; ADDITIONAL RENT; LETTER OF CREDIT.
3.1 Definitions; Increases. The term “Base Rent” means the amount set forth in the Basic Lease Information. The term “Additional Rent” means any rent, payments, or any other monetary sums, other than Base Rent, payable under this Lease, whether due and payable immediately or in monthly installments. Throughout this Lease, Base Rent and Additional Rent are sometimes collectively called “Rent”. All sums due under this Lease shall be “Rent” for collection purposes.
3.2 Payment of Rent. Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date, Rent is due and payable, in advance, in equal, consecutive monthly installments. If the Term begins or ends on a date other than on the first day of a calendar month, Rent for the first month of the Term and/or the last month of the Term, as the case may be, will be prorated on a daily basis based on a thirty (30) day month and will be paid in advance. All payments of Base Rent for the month in question will be due on or before the first (1st) day of the calendar month during the Term for which Base Rent is due and payable. All payments of Additional Rent are due by the first day of each calendar month during the Term (unless otherwise expressly provided in other Sections of this Lease). Tenant will pay all Rent without deduction, set off, or counterclaim, and, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, without demand, notice, or invoice. If Landlord at any time or times accepts Rent after it becomes due and payable, such acceptance will not excuse a delay on any subsequent occasion, or constitute, or be construed as, a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights hereunder, including the right to xxx for possession and xxx for any amounts which remain outstanding.
3.3 Payment Address. Tenant will pay to Landlord, at Landlord’s Address for Notices set forth in the Basic Lease Information (or such other place or to such agents as Landlord may from time to time designate to Tenant in writing), all installments of Base Rent and Additional Rent (whether such Additional Rent is being paid on an installment or other basis) by
the date the Rent becomes due in lawful money of the United States of America that is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
3.4 Delinquent Rent Payments. If any installment of Base Rent or Additional Rent is not paid within five (5) days of when due (whether such Additional Rent is being paid on an installment or other basis), then such unpaid installment of Rent will bear interest five (5) days from the date such installment of Rent became due to the date of the payment thereof by Tenant at a rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of (a) five percent (5%) annually over the prime rate of interest announced, from time to time, by Bank of America, N.A., or if at any time Bank of America, N.A. or its successor in interest does not announce its prime rate of interest, then the prime rate of interest published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, in the section entitled “Money Rates” (the “Prime Rate”), or (b) the maximum interest rate then allowed by Applicable Laws. If Tenant fails to pay any such installment of Rent within five (5) days of the date when such installment was due, Tenant will also pay to Landlord a late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of such installment of Rent. Any interest or late payment charges paid by Tenant will not relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay any other amounts due under this Section 3 or any other provision of this Lease. Such interest and late payment charges will constitute Additional Rent due with the next monthly installment of Base Rent and, where applicable, Additional Rent. If Landlord does not xxxx Tenant for such interest or such late payment charges at the time of their respective accruals, such fact will not constitute Landlord’s waiver of its right to accumulate such interest and charges and to invoice Tenant on a periodic basis, nor will Landlord’s acceptance of any payment from, or by Landlord’s furnishing services to, a party other than Tenant constitute Landlord’s waiver of its right to such interest and charges or to any other amount owed or that becomes payable to it hereunder.
3.5 Letter of Credit. Tenant shall post the Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms, provisions and obligations of Addendum No. 1.
3.6 Tenant’s Right to Offset Rent. Tenant shall have the right to offset against Rent otherwise payable by Tenant pursuant to the Lease for the following limited purposes:
(i) Any excess amounts prepaid by Tenant for Operating Costs and Real Property Taxes based on Landlord’s estimate, and Tenant’s monthly estimated installment payment, provided, such overpayment may be credited against Tenant’s next accruing Operating Cost and Real Property Tax obligations only (and not Base Rent), and provided Landlord has not timely paid such amount to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease after notice and opportunity to cure; and
(ii) Any allowance or credit to which Tenant is entitled pursuant to this Lease that is not timely paid by Landlord after twenty (20) days notice and opportunity to cure.
(iii) If Landlord does not pay the Tenant Improvement Allowance in accordance with the terms set forth in the Work Agreement.
4. OPERATING COSTS AND REAL ESTATE TAXES.
4.1 Operating Costs—Base Year. Beginning on the first day of the second (2nd) calendar year (i.e. January 1, 2007), Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent Tenant’s estimated Proportionate Share (as defined below) of the amount by which Operating Costs (as defined below) for each calendar year falling entirely or partly within the Term exceed a base amount (the “Operating Costs Base Amount”) equal to the “Operating Costs” incurred during the Base Year for Operating Costs. In the event the Operating Costs Base Amount as otherwise determined in this Section is abnormally high in comparison to the historical average of Operating Costs for the prior five (5) calendar years, taking into account year-by-year increases, the Operating Costs Base Amount shall be determined by taking the Building’s average Operating Costs for the prior five (5) calendar years and increasing such average Operating Costs by the average annual increase in the Building’s Operating Costs. For purposes of this Lease, “Tenant’s Proportionate Share” for Operating Costs has been calculated to be that percentage that is equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of square feet of Gross Rentable Area in the Premises, and the denominator of which is the number of square feet of the Gross Rentable Area set forth in the Basic Lease Information. To the extent Landlord, at the Effective Date, carries earthquake, terrorism and/or mold insurance coverage, such coverage shall be included in the Operating Costs Base Amount, and Tenant shall be responsible for increases above the Operating Costs Base Amount consistent with this Section 4.1.

4.1.1 Estimated Monthly Payments of Operating Costs. Tenant shall make estimated monthly payments to Landlord on account of the amount by which Operating Costs that are expected to be incurred during each subsequent calendar year (or portion thereof) would exceed the Operating Costs Base Amount. On or about the first day of the second (2nd) calendar year (i.e. January 1, 2007), and at the beginning of each calendar year thereafter, Landlord may submit a statement setting forth
Landlord’s reasonable estimate of such excess and Tenant’s Proportionate Share thereof. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month after receipt of such statement, until Tenant’s receipt of the succeeding annual statement, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of such share (estimated on an annual basis without proration. From time to time during any calendar year, but not more than two (2) times in any calendar year, Landlord may revise its estimate and adjust Tenant’s monthly payments to reflect Landlord’s revised estimate.

Commencing on the first day of the second (2nd) calendar year (i.e. January 1, 2007), Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the total increase, if any, in Real Estate Taxes (as defined below) for each Expense Year (as defined below) over the amount of Real Estate Taxes for the Base Year (“Real Estate Taxes Base Amount”). “Expense Year” means the twelve (12) calendar month period commencing on the first day following the end of the Base Year and continuing for each succeeding twelve (12) calendar month period; the second and each subsequent Expense Year will commence on the first day following the end of the preceding Expense Year and will continue for the next succeeding twelve (12) calendar months. Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable substantiation of such cost on written request from Tenant. Tenant’s Proportionate Share for Real Estate Taxes has been calculated to be that percentage that is equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of square feet of Gross Rentable Area of the Premises, and the denominator of which is the number of square feet of the Gross Rentable Area of the Building as set forth in the Basic Lease Information. Landlord will not collect more than one hundred percent (100%) of the Real Property Taxes attributable to the Building.
4.2.1 Estimated Monthly Payments of Real Estate Taxes. Tenant shall make estimated monthly payments to Landlord on account of the amount by which Real Estate Taxes that are expected to be incurred during each calendar year would exceed the Real Estate Taxes Base Amount. On or about the first day of the second (2nd) calendar ear and, at the beginning of each calendar year thereafter, Landlord may submit a statement setting forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate of such amount and Tenant’s Proportionate Share thereof. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month after receipt of such statement, until Tenant’s receipt of the succeeding annual statement, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of each such share (estimated on an annual basis without proration). From time to time during any calendar year, but not more than two (2) times in any calendar year, Landlord may revise Landlord’s estimate and adjust Tenant’s monthly payments to reflect Landlord’s revised estimate.
4.2.2 Definition of Real Estate Taxes. The term “Real Estate Taxes” means any taxes, fees, charges, and assessments (including any payments to a business improvement district or similar entity) allocable to the Building, Land and Proportionate Share of the common areas of the Project, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, assessed, levied, or imposed on the Building, Land, and Proportionate Share of the common areas and Project, by any governmental authority. Except for the taxes, fees, charges, and assessments described in the next succeeding sentence, Real Estate Taxes do not include Landlord’s federal, state, or local income or inheritance, estate, trust, gift, franchise, mortgage, capital gains, or succession taxes. If at any time during the Term any governmental authority
imposes a gross receipts tax or other tax, fee, charge, and/or assessment of any kind or nature on or against the Base Rent and/or Additional Rent payable under this Lease or otherwise received from the Building or Project, either in substitution of all or any part of the taxes, fees, charges, and assessments levied or assessed against the Building or Project, or in addition thereto, Tenant will pay promptly the entire amount of such gross receipts tax or other tax, fee, charge, or assessment payable on account of the Base Rent and/or Additional Rent (as Landlord reasonably determines) whether such gross receipts tax or other tax, fee, charge, or assessment is imposed nominally on Landlord or Tenant, such payment to be made either directly to the appropriate governmental authority (if such is required by such governmental authority) or indirectly, by payment as Additional Rent to Landlord, which will in turn promptly pay over amounts received by it pursuant to the foregoing provisions to such authority.
4.2.3 Assessment. If during any calendar year (including the Real Estate Taxes Base Year) the Building or Project is not fully assessed for tax purposes, then Landlord shall include in Real Estate Taxes for such year all additional taxes, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, which would have been incurred during such year if the Building had been fully assessed. If Landlord successfully obtains a reduction in the Real Estate Taxes after the establishment of the Real Estate Taxes Base Amount (as more fully provided in Section 4.7 [Real Estate Tax Contests]), the Real Estate Taxes Base Amount will be appropriately adjusted to reflect the revised Real Estate Taxes Base Amount, provided that Landlord adjusts its statement of Real Estate Taxes for all subsequent calendar years of the term of this Lease by the actual amount that the Real Estate Taxes Base Amount is adjusted.
4.3 Partial Year. If the Term commences or expires on a day other than the first day or the last day of a calendar year, respectively, then Tenant’s liabilities pursuant to this Section 4 for such calendar year shall be apportioned by multiplying the respective amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share thereof for the full calendar year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during such calendar year falling within the Lease Term, and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365).
4.4 Statement. Within approximately one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year, or as soon thereafter as is feasible, Landlord shall submit one or more statements (individually and collectively, the “Statement”) showing (a) Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the amount by which Operating Costs incurred during the preceding calendar year exceeded or was less than the Operating Costs Base Amount, (b) the aggregate amount of Tenant’s estimated payments made on account of Operating Costs during such year, (c) Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the amount by which Real Estate Taxes incurred during the preceding calendar year exceeded or was less than the Real Estate Taxes Base Amount, and (d) the aggregate amount of Tenant’s estimated payments made on account of Real Estate Taxes during such year. If the Statement indicates that the aggregate amount of such estimated payments exceeds Tenant’s actual liability, then Landlord shall, at its sole election, either credit the net overpayment toward Tenant’s next estimated payment(s) pursuant to this Section or remit such net overpayment to Tenant by means of a check. If such statement indicates that Tenant’s actual liability exceeds the aggregate amount of such estimated payments, then Tenant shall pay the amount of such excess as Additional Rent. Landlord shall pay Tenant if Real Estate Taxes and Operating Costs accruing during the Term are refunded after the Term has ended.
4.5 Review of Statement. After receipt of the Statement, Tenant shall have the right to conduct an audit of Landlord’s books and records relating to the Operating Costs and Real Estate Taxes and other charges under the Lease, for the calendar year just ended and to which the Statement relates, provided that Tenant strictly complies with the terms and conditions of this Section. No review shall be permitted at any time in which a material default exists under this Lease (including a default arising by virtue of Tenant’s failure to pay any such deemed Additional Rent, regardless of dispute as to the propriety of Landlord’s claim for payment). If a material default occurs at any time during the pendency of an audit of the Landlord’s books and records then Tenant’s audit shall immediately cease until such default is cured. No subtenant shall have the right to conduct any such review, and no assignee of Tenant shall have the right to conduct a review for a period before the assignment. To the extent Tenant’s audit of the Operating Costs for the calendar year just ended reveals an overcharge of six percent (6%) or more, and Landlord agrees with the results of Tenant’s audit, Tenant shall be entitled to audit the preceding two (2) calendar years’ Operating Costs, subject to the same terms and conditions of this Section 4.
4.5.1 Time Period. Tenant shall exercise its audit right on not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice, given at any time within ninety (90) days after Tenant’s receipt of a Statement (time being of the essence). Any such audit shall be conducted by Tenant or by a bona fide independent certified public accountant of Tenant’s choosing that is not being compensated by Tenant on a contingency fee basis. If Tenant employs such an accountant then as a condition precedent to such audit, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a true and complete copy of Tenant’s agreement with such accountant that shall include the following statements: (a) the accountant will not in any manner solicit or agree to represent any other tenant of the Building for a review of Landlord’s accounting records at the Building, and (b) the accountant will maintain in strict confidence all information obtained in connection with the audit and will not disclose the facts of the review or any results of it to any person or entity other than to Tenant and its agents and consultants, who shall agree to be bound by such confidentiality. Any such audit shall be conducted at the Building during normal business hours. Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable accommodation for the audit and reasonable use of office equipment, but may make a reasonable charge (as Additional Rent) for Tenant’s telephone calls and photocopies.
4.5.2 Results. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the results of any such audit within fifteen (15) days after its completion or receipt by Tenant and will maintain in strict confidence all information obtained in connection with the audit and will not disclose the fact of the review or any results of it to any person or entity. A dispute over the Statement or any error by Landlord in interpreting or applying the provisions of this Lease respecting Operating Costs and Real Estate Taxes or in calculating the amounts in the Statement shall not be a breach of this Lease by Landlord, and even if any legal proceeding over the Statement is resolved against Landlord this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Landlord shall not be liable for any consequential damages. Pending the determination of any such dispute Tenant shall pay amounts billed with respect to such Statement as Additional Rent, without prejudice to Tenant’s position, and subject to rebate of any amounts subsequently found to have been charged to Tenant in error.
4.5.3 Arbitration of Disputes. With respect to any dispute regarding the results of Tenant’s audit, the parties agree to participate in binding arbitration (the “Arbitration”). The Arbitration may be initiated by either party upon written notice to the other, and both parties shall operating in good faith to complete the Arbitration within sixty (60) days from the date it is initiated in writing. The Arbitration shall be conducted at the office of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) nearest to the Project (currently, Walnut Creek, California). The arbitrator shall be chosen by AAA, and shall be experience in commercial lease disputes. The arbitrator shall award prevailing attorneys fees, and will issue a final, non-appealable order.
4.6 Gross-Up. If the Building is not at least 95% occupied during all or a portion of any calendar year, then Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment for the Base Year for Operating Costs and each subsequent calendar year to determine what the Operating Costs would have been for such year as if the Building had been 95% occupied, and the amount so determined shall be deemed to be the amount of Operating Costs for the calendar year. Such adjustment shall be made by Landlord by increasing those variable components of such variable costs included in the Operating Costs which vary based on the level of occupancy of the Building (i.e., janitorial contract, electricity and management fees).
4.7 Real Estate Tax Contests. Landlord shall have no obligation to contest, object to, or litigate the levying, assessment, or imposition of Real Estate Taxes, and may settle, compromise, consent to, waive, or otherwise determine any such Real Estate Taxes without consent of or notice to Tenant. In all events, Landlord shall have the right to employ a tax consulting firm to attempt to assure a fair tax burden on the Building or Project. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand from time to time, as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the cost of such service. Landlord shall have the right to retain legal counsel and expert witnesses to assist in such contest and otherwise to incur reasonable expenses in such contest, and Tenant shall pay on demand Tenant’s Proportionate Share of any fees, expenses, and costs incurred by Landlord in contesting any assessments, levies, or tax rate applicable to the Building or portions thereof regardless of whether such contest is successful. If such contest results in a refund of Real Estate Taxes in any year, Tenant shall be entitled to receive its share of such refund (based on Tenant’s Proportionate Share), prorated for the period with respect to which Tenant paid its share of Real Estate Taxes for such year, after deducting from the refund all fees, expenses, and costs incurred by Landlord in such contest.
5. USE OF PREMISES.
5.1 General. Tenant will use the Premises solely for general office purposes consistent with a first-class office building in the Dublin/Pleasanton area, and in accordance with the use permitted under applicable zoning regulations. Tenant may not use the Premises for any other purposes. Tenant may not use or occupy the Premises for any unlawful purpose. Tenant will, at its sole cost, comply with, and make any Alterations to and within the Premises in the manner allowed under Section 9 (Alterations and Mechanics’ Liens) as are necessary to comply with any present and future laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, or orders of any governmental authority, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (collectively, the “Applicable Laws”)
except Tenant shall not be required to make any alterations to the Building core or Building systems in order to comply with Applicable Laws (unless caused by Tenant’s use or Tenant’s construction of Alterations or the initial Tenant Improvements). If Landlord alters any part of the Project to comply with the requirements of any of the Applicable Laws and such requirements are a result of Tenant’s particular business or use of the Premises, or as a result of Alterations or improvements performed by Tenant, then Tenant will reimburse Landlord on demand for the cost thereof as Additional Rent. Tenant warrants that it has entered into this Lease entirely for a business or commercial purpose and that it will not use the Premises for any residential or retail purposes. Tenant may not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises that will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants of the Building, or injure or annoy them; use or allow the Premises to be used for any improper or objectionable purposes; cause, maintain, or permit any nuisances in, on, or about the Premises; or commit or allow to be committed any waste in, on, or about the Premises. Tenant will keep closed all doors leading from the Premises to the rest of the Building when the Premises are not in use. Landlord represents that it shall comply with any Applicable Laws with respect to the Building, Land, Project and Property (provided however, Landlord will be able to include such costs in Operating Costs as provided elsewhere in this Lease).
5.2 Impermissible Uses. In addition to and not in limitation of the other restrictions on use of the Premises set forth in this Section 5, the following uses of the Premises are not considered to be “office use” and will not be permitted: (a) any use of the Premises by an organization or person enjoying sovereign or diplomatic immunity; (b) any use of the Premises by or for any medical, mental health, or dental practice; (c) any use of the Premises by or for an employment agency or bureau; (d) any use of the Premises by or for any user that distributes governmental or other payments, benefits, or information to persons that personally appear at the Premises; and (e) any other use of the Premises or any portion of the Project by any user that will attract a volume, frequency, or type of visitor or employee to the Premises or any portion of the Project or the Buildings that is inconsistent with the standards of a high quality, first-class office building in the Dublin/Pleasanton area or that will in any way impose an excessive demand or use on the facilities or services of the Premises, Building, or Project.
6. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING.
6.1 Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, pledge, encumber, or hypothecate this Lease or any interest herein (directly, indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law, or otherwise) or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by anyone other than Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord first being obtained. If Tenant is a corporation or a partnership, the transfer (as a consequence of a single transaction or any number of separate transactions) of fifty-one percent (51%) or more of the beneficial ownership interest of the voting stock of Tenant issued and outstanding as of the date hereof or partnership interests in Tenant, as the case may be, shall constitute an assignment hereunder for which such consent is required. Further, Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or to any corporation resulting from merger or consolidation with Tenant, or to any person or entity which acquires all the assets as a going concern of the business of Tenant that is being conducted on the Premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord.
Any of the foregoing acts without such consent shall be void and, at the sole option of Landlord, constitute an Event of Default entitling Landlord to terminate this Lease and to exercise all other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease and at law. The provisions of Section shall not apply to transactions entered into by Tenant with (i) an “Affiliate” (as herein defined) or (ii) a corporation into or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated or with an entity to which substantially all of Tenant’s assets are transferred (whether directly or by virtue of the transfer of substantially all of Tenant’s capital stock), (a “Permitted Transferee”) provided (a) such merger, consolidation or transfer of assets is not principally for the purpose of transferring the leasehold estate created hereby, and (b) such Permitted Transferee has net worth equal to Tenant as of the date of this Lease For the purposes of this Section, an Affiliate means (i) a corporation controlled by, controlling or under the common control with tenant (an “affiliated corporation”) or (ii) a partnership or joint venture in which Tenant or an affiliated corporation owns at least 30% of the general partnership or joint venture interests therein and Tenant or such affiliated corporation of Tenant has actual control of such partnership or joint venture. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a corporation shall not be deemed controlled by another entity unless at least 30% of each class of its outstanding capital stock is owned, both beneficially and of record, by such entity and such entity has actual control of such corporation. The provisions regarding the transfer of the capital stock of a corporate tenant set forth in Section 6 shall not apply to any corporation where all of its outstanding capital stock is listed on a national securities exchange (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) or is traded in the “over the counter” market with quotations reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers.
6.2 In the event that Tenant should desire to sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or assign this Lease, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice of such desire at least sixty (60) days in advance of the proposed effective date of such subletting or assignment. Such notice shall include: (i) the name of the proposed sublessee or assignee, (ii) the nature of business to be conducted by the proposed sublessee or assignee in the Premises, (iii) the terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or sublease including but not limited to a detailed description of all compensation in cash or otherwise which Tenant would be entitled to receive in connection with such assignment or sublease, and (iv) the most recent financial statements or other financial information concerning the proposed sublessee or assignee as Landlord may require. At any time within twenty (20) days following receipt of Tenant’s notice, Landlord may by written notice to Tenant elect to: (i) terminate this Lease as to the space affected by the proposed subletting or assignment, effective ninety (90) days from the date of Landlord’s notice, (ii) consent to the proposed subletting of the Premises or assignment of this Lease or (iii) disapprove of the proposed subletting or assignment. Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease as to the space affected by the proposed assign or subletting in its sole and absolute discretion. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, however, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a proposed subletting or assignment. Without limiting other situations in which it may be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or sublease, Landlord and Tenant agree that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent in any one or more of the following situations: (i) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the proposed subtenant or assignee or the proposed use of the Premises would detract from the status of the Building as a first-class office building or would generate foot traffic or density materially in excess of the amount generated by Tenant’s business or would otherwise be in
excess of that customary for the Building or would impose a materially greater load upon elevator, janitorial, security or other services than is generated by Tenant’s business or would otherwise in excess of that be customary for the Building; (ii) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the financial worth of the proposed subtenant or assignee does not meet the credit standards applied by Landlord in considering other tenants under leases with comparable terms, or Tenant shall have failed to provide Landlord with reasonable proof of the financial worth of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (iii) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the business history and reputation in the community of the proposed subtenant or assignee does not meet the standards applied by Landlord in considering other tenants in the Building; or (iv) the proposed subtenant or assignee shall be a then existing or prospective tenant of the Building, provided that in any event Landlord shall be entitled to exercise its right of termination in lieu of consenting to a transfer, as set forth above. Subject to obtaining Landlord’s consent in accordance with the requirements of this Section, in order for any assignment or sublease to be binding on Landlord, Tenant must deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution thereof, an executed copy of such sublease or assignment whereby the sublessee or assignee shall expressly assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease as to the portion of the Premises subject to such assignment or sublease. Any purported sublease or assignment will be of no legal force or effect unless and until the proposed sublease has been consented to, in writing, by Landlord and a fully executed copy thereof has been received by Landlord.
6.3 Landlord and Tenant agree that fifty percent (50%) of any Rent or other consideration received or to be received by or on behalf of or for the benefit of Tenant as a result of any assignment or subletting, in excess of the Additional Rent, Base Rent and Operating Costs and Real Estate Taxes which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (prorated to reflect obligations allocable to that portion of the Premises subject to such sublease or assignment), and after deducting reasonable assignment or subletting fees, which will include, but are not limited to marketing costs, legal fees, brokerage fees, construction costs and other leasing concessions, shall be payable to Landlord as Additional Rent under this Lease without affecting or reducing any other obligation of Tenant hereunder (“Excess Rent”). Landlord’s share of such Excess Rent or other consideration shall be paid by the Tenant directly to Landlord at the same time as such rent or other consideration is paid to Tenant. Concurrently with the payment of Excess Rent by Tenant to Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a complete statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant of Tenant’s choice, setting forth in detail the computation of any and all Excess Rent.
6.4 Regardless of Landlord’s consent, no subletting or assignment shall release Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant, of its or their obligations, or alter the primary liability of Tenant and its guarantor(s), if any, to pay Rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of payments by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof. Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent or further assignment, subletting, hypothecation or third party use or occupancy. In the event of default by any assignee or successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant and/or its guarantor(s), if any, without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said assignee or successor. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or subletting of this Lease or amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Tenant,
without notifying Tenant and/or its guarantor(s), if any, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto and such action shall not relieve Tenant and/or its guarantor(s), if any, or any successor of Tenant of liability under this Lease.
6.5 Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Landlord’s cost of processing each proposed assignment or subletting, whether or not Landlord consents to the proposed transfer, and whether or not an assignment or sublease is eventually entered into, an amount equal to the sum of: (i) Landlord’s attorneys’ and other professional fees up to the amount of $2,500.00; and (ii) the amount of all actual costs and expenses incurred by Landlord arising from the assignee or sublessee taking occupancy of the subject space (including, without limitation, costs of freight elevator operation for moving and furnishings and trade fixtures, janitorial and cleaning service, additional security services, and rubbish removal service).
6.6 Subject to Section 23 of this Lease, Landlord shall have the unconditional right to sell, encumber, pledge, convey, transfer, and/or assign any and all of its rights and obligations under the Lease without the consent of or notice to Tenant or any guarantor(s) of Tenant’s obligations hereunder.
7. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
8. MAINTENANCE OBLIGATIONS.
8.1 By Tenant. Subject to Landlord’s obligation to provide certain janitorial services to the Premises under Section 16.5 (Other Services), Tenant will, at its sole cost, keep the Premises and the fixtures, improvements, equipment, and finishes and any Alterations therein in clean, safe, and sanitary condition and in good order and repair, will take good care thereof (collectively, the “Maintenance Activities” and, individually, the “Maintenance Activity”) and will cause no waste or injury thereto. As part of the Maintenance Activities, Tenant shall be solely responsible to maintain and repair such finishes and equipment, including kitchen appliances and fixtures, modular furniture, showers and bathroom fixtures, supplemental air-conditioning equipment, computers, or any other type of equipment or improvements, together with related plumbing, electrical, or other utility services in the Premises whether installed by Tenant or by Landlord on Tenant’s behalf and whether installed at Tenant’s or Landlord’s cost, and Landlord has no obligation in connection therewith.
Tenant shall use Union Labor (as defined in Section 9.7 below) for all Maintenance Activities (the “Maintenance Labor Covenant”), except that the Maintenance Labor Covenant shall not apply to the services for the installation, operation, maintenance, and repair of personal property owned exclusively by Tenant (e.g., computer systems, telephones, and furniture other than modular furniture) or for any of Tenant’s specialized equipment. To the extent Union Labor is not available in the market to perform a specific Maintenance Activity, Tenant shall not be in default of the Maintenance Labor Covenant. Tenant shall (a) include the Maintenance Labor Covenant in each of its service contracts, (b) provide such evidence as Landlord may reasonably require, from time to time during the Term, that the Maintenance Labor Covenant is being fully and faithfully observed and Tenant shall include the obligation to provide such evidence in each service contract entered into by Tenant for such services, and (c) incorporate the foregoing requirements in any sublease, license, or occupancy agreement relating to all or any part of the Premises.
8.2 By Landlord. Landlord shall keep and maintain the exterior and demising walls, foundations, roof, and common areas that form a part of the Building and the Project, and the mechanical, electrical, HVAC, and plumbing systems, pipes, and conduits that are provided by Landlord in the operation of the Building or, on a non-exclusive basis, the Premises in clean, safe, sanitary, and operating condition in accordance with standards customarily maintained by Comparable Buildings, and will make all required repairs thereto, the costs of all of which shall be included as Operating Costs unless expressly excluded in Section 4.1.3 of this Lease. All common or public areas of the Project (including, but not limited to, the lobby areas and the exterior landscaping) shall be maintained by Landlord in accordance with standards customarily maintained by Comparable Buildings. All costs associated with this Section 8.2 shall be included in operating costs, unless expressly excluded in Section 4.1.3. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with written notice of any defect or need for repairs in or about the Building of which Tenant is aware; provided, however, Landlord’s obligation to repair hereunder shall not be limited to matters of which it has been given notice by Tenant.
9. ALTERATIONS AND MECHANICS’ LIENS.
9.1 General. Tenant shall not make or permit any improvements, additions, alterations, decorations, substitutions, replacements, or modifications, structural or otherwise, to the Premises or to the Premises (the “Alterations”) without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance. Tenant shall not under any circumstances be permitted to make Alterations anywhere on the Building. Alterations include, without limitation, the Tenant Improvements, pursuant to the Work Agreement, the installation or modification of floor coverings, partitions, doors, air conditioning ducts, plumbing, condenser water equipment, piping, lighting fixtures, wiring of any kind, ceilings and wall coverings. If Landlord consents to any Alterations, Landlord will impose requirements listed in Section 9.7 (Performance of Work) and may impose any other conditions it deems reasonably appropriate, including, but not limited to, the approval of plans and specifications (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), supervision of the work by Landlord’s architect or contractor, and satisfactory evidence from Tenant of Tenant’s ability to pay for such Alterations. If any Alteration is made without the prior written consent of Landlord, Landlord may correct or remove the Alteration at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such correction or removal shall be payable as Additional Rent on demand by Landlord.
9.2 Conditions to Consent. As a condition precedent to obtaining Landlord’s written consent for any Alterations, (a) Landlord may require Tenant to pay Landlord a reasonable fee to reimburse Landlord for overhead and administrative costs Landlord incurs in connection with its supervision of Tenant’s Alterations (not to exceed five percent (5%) of the cost of such Alterations), and (b) Tenant agrees to obtain and deliver to Landlord conditional and unconditional waivers of mechanics’ liens on the Land and Building for all work, labor, and services to be performed, and materials to be furnished, by Tenant’s contractors and suppliers for the Alterations. All Alterations must conform to all Applicable Laws, must conform harmoniously with the Building’s design and interior decoration, and, except as approved by
Landlord for a proposed Alteration, must not require any changes to or modifications of any of the Building’s structural components or mechanical, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, or other systems. Tenant shall keep the Building and Project lien free in the construction of any Alterations.
9.3 Inspection of Work. Tenant will allow Landlord or its designated agent to inspect the work from time to time during the period of construction of all Alterations. Such inspections shall be performed promptly without material interference with Tenant’s construction of its Alterations. Landlord may stop work on any Alterations if Landlord or its designated agent determines that the work is not being done: (a) in a good and workmanlike manner, (b) in compliance with all Applicable Laws, (c) according to the plans and specifications provided to and approved by Landlord, (d) using new materials and installations, at least equal in quality to the original Building materials and installations, free from any defects or deficiencies, (e) in a way that avoids interfering with, or disturbing the quiet enjoyment of, the other tenants, (f) with due diligence, (g) in a manner to keep the Premises lien free. If Landlord stops such work, Tenant will promptly correct the problem(s) that gave rise to the work stoppage. If Tenant fails to correct such problem(s) within a time period Landlord determines to be reasonable, then Landlord may, at its sole option, correct the problem(s), complete the Alterations, and Tenant will be liable for the costs of such action as Additional Rent. On completion of any Alterations, Tenant will (i) deliver to Landlord complete as-built mylar drawings or CAD drawings of the Alterations, and (ii) furnish “as built” plans and specifications for all Alterations within a reasonable period of time after completion of the Alterations, and pay to Landlord or its designated agent as Additional Rent a reasonable fee for updating the master reproducible Building blueprint to show the Alterations.
9.4 Indemnification. Any Alterations will be made on Tenant’s behalf and not on Landlord’s behalf. Tenant will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Landlord from and against any loss, damage, lien or cost (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all court costs) Landlord incurs that may or might arise because of the making of or removal of any Alterations. If any Alteration is made without Landlord’s prior written consent, Landlord may correct or remove the same, and Tenant will be liable for any loss, damage, or cost (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all court costs) Landlord incurs to perform this work.
9.5 Title to Alterations. All Alterations (including flooring, wall-to-wall carpet and wall covering) will become, at Landlord’s election, immediately upon completion of their installation Landlord’s property without payment therefore by Landlord and will remain on and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof at the end of the Term; provided, however, that if Tenant is not in default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, then, before the Term of this Lease ends, Tenant may remove, at Tenant’s sole cost, all movable furniture, furnishings, or equipment not affixed to or in the Premises. To the extent Landlord does not elect that any of the Alterations (including any vaults, safes, file systems, raised floors, cabling, wiring, or interior staircases between floors) remain on and be surrendered with the Premises at the end or termination of the Term, Tenant will, at its sole cost, remove the same, restore the affected area to the condition existing before the construction or installation of any such Alteration, and repair any damage caused by such removal. Landlord shall make its election whether the Alterations are to be removed at the end of the Term, or remain in the
Premises, at the time Landlord provides its written consent to such Alterations. If Tenant fails to remove any such Alteration (which Tenant is required to remove), to restore and repair the affected area, or repair any damage caused by any such removal, Landlord may undertake such removal, restoration, and repair at Tenant’s sole cost and Tenant will reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof as Additional Rent, together with any damages (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all court costs) that Landlord may sustain because of such default by Tenant.
9.6 Contractors and Performance of Work. If Landlord consents to Alterations by Tenant, Landlord must approve all contractors and subcontractors that Tenant proposes to use for the Alterations, which approval may be granted or withheld in the sole and absolute subjective discretion of Landlord. Tenant, or its contractors and subcontractors, as Landlord may direct, will provide such insurance, bonding, and/or indemnifications of Landlord as Landlord may reasonably require and will comply with any rules and regulations applicable to Alterations as Landlord may promulgate from time to time including at a minimum the “Performance of Work” clause. Before undertaking any Alterations, Tenant will furnish to Landlord duplicate original policies or certificates thereof of worker’s compensation insurance (covering all persons to be employed by Tenant and Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors in connection with such Alterations), builder’s all-risk insurance, and commercial general liability insurance (including reasonable property damage coverage) in such form, with such companies, for such periods, and in the amounts and deductibles equal to that Tenant is required to maintain under Section 12 (Insurance), naming Landlord, its management agent and any Mortgagee (as defined below) as additional insureds. Tenant shall strictly comply with the Conditions for Construction attached hereto as Exhibit F, and shall cause its contractor to strictly comply with the same.
9.7 Performance of Work. In addition to any other conditions contained herein with respect to Tenant making any Alterations, before making any Alterations, Tenant shall (a) deliver to Landlord evidence satisfactory to Landlord that Tenant shall cause the Alterations (“Construction Activities”) to be performed by contractors who shall employ craft workers who are members of unions that are affiliated with The Building and Construction Trades Department, AFL-CIO (“Union Labor”), and such work shall conform to traditional craft jurisdictions as established in the area (the “Construction Labor Covenant”), (b) include the Construction Labor Covenant in each of its contracts for the Construction Activities, (c) provide such evidence as Landlord may reasonably require, from time to time during the course of the Construction Activities, that the Construction Labor Covenant is being fully and faithfully observed and Tenant shall include the obligation to provide such evidence in each contract entered into by Tenant for the Construction Activities, and (d) incorporate the foregoing requirements in any sublease, license, or occupancy agreement relating to all or any part of the Premises.

Should Tenant fail to remove any such lien within five (5) business days of notice to do so from Landlord, and without waiving its rights based on such breach, Landlord may, in addition to any other remedies, record a bond pursuant to California Civil Code Section 3143 and all amounts incurred by Landlord in so doing shall become immediately due and payable by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent. Furthermore, without waiving any rights based on such breach, Landlord may pay and satisfy any such liens, without inspection, and in such an event, the sums so paid by Landlord shall be due and payable by Tenant immediately, with interest from the date paid by Landlord, through the date Tenant pays Landlord, at the maximum interest rate allowable by Applicable Law.

Tenant’s right to select and use a telecommunications and data carrier (the “Carrier”) shall be conditioned on the execution by the Carrier a license agreement, in the form used by Landlord from time to time, pursuant to which Landlord shall grant to the Carrier a license (which license shall be coextensive with the rights and privileges granted to Tenant under this Lease) to install, operate, maintain, repair, replace, and remove cable and related equipment within the Premises and specified vertical and horizontal pathways within the Building but outside of the Premises that are necessary to provide telecommunications and data services to Tenant at the Premises.
9.10.1 No Exclusive Rights. The license contemplated herein to be granted to the Carrier shall permit the Carrier to provide services only to Tenant and not to any other tenants or occupants of the Building and shall require all of the Carrier’s equipment (other than connecting wiring) to be located in the Premises. The license shall not grant an exclusive right to Tenant or to the Carrier. Landlord reserves the right, at its sole and absolute subjective discretion, to grant, renew, or extend licenses to other telecommunications and data carriers for the purposes of locating telecommunications equipment in the Building that may serve Tenant or other tenants or occupants in the Building.
9.10.2 No Greater Rights. Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Lease, nothing in this Lease shall grant to the Carrier any greater rights or privileges than Tenant is granted pursuant to the terms of this Lease or diminish Tenant’s obligations or Landlord’s rights hereunder.

Landlord will post nameplates identifying Tenant on the Building directory (or displayed electronically) and on the suite entry door(s) of the Premises (or adjacent to the suite door), in such places, number, size, color, and style as Landlord determines. Such nameplates and letters will conform harmoniously with the Building’s design and interior decoration, and shall be standardized for all tenants.

directory listing or the nameplate on or adjacent to the suite entry door(s) of the Premises. Landlord may prohibit any advertisement of Tenant in, on, or about the Building or naming the Building or its address that in Landlord’s opinion tends to impair the reputation of the Building or its desirability as a high-quality building for offices for financial, professional services, insurance, and other institutions of similar kind, and, on written notice from Landlord, Tenant will immediately refrain from and discontinue any such advertisement. Directory listing and/or signs for approved assignees or approved subtenants will be at Landlord’s sole and absolute subjective discretion based on the availability of space.

The location of tenant’s sign panel on the monument and general design shall be as depicted on Exhibit J to this Lease, to be approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld (subject to compliance with the Signage Program and all applicable laws). Tenant shall be responsible for its pro-rata share of the lighting, operation and maintenance, which is hereby approved by Landlord of the monument. For purposes of this provision, Tenant’s pro-rata share shall be a ratio, the numerator of which is the area of Tenant’s sign panel, and the denominator of which is the area of all tenant’s sign panels located on the monument. All such signage shall comply with all applicable laws, the Signage Program, and Tenant shall obtain any and all approvals or permits required at its sole cost and expense. Tenant shall remove its signage on such monument at its sole cost and expense upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and repair any damage resulting therefrom. Within fifteen (15) days of mutual execution of this Lease, Tenant shall present to Landlord monument sign drawings for Landlord’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld. Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord may withhold its consent if the proposed monument signage does not comply with the Sign Program, or does not comply with all applicable laws.

Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord may withhold its consent if the proposed Building signage does not comply with the Sign Program, or does not comply with all applicable laws.
10.4 Moving of Furnishings. Landlord may prescribe the weight and position of safes and other heavy equipment or fixtures. Tenant will repair, at its sole cost and under Landlord’s direction, any damage or injury to the Premises or the rest of the Building caused by moving Tenant’s property into, in, or out of the Premises, or due to the same being on the Premises. All moving of furniture, equipment, and other material within any public area of the Building will be at such times and conducted in such manner as Landlord may reasonably require in the interest of all tenants within the Building and any restrictions on access to the loading dock area of the Building.
11. INSPECTION. Tenant will permit Landlord, or its representative, on reasonable prior written notice (except in the case of an emergency when no such notice will be required), to enter the Premises or the Premises, Building and Project at any reasonable time, without charge to Landlord and without diminution of Rent payable by Tenant, to (a) examine, inspect, or protect the Premises; (b) prevent damage to the Premises and/or to any other portion of the Building; (c) alter, add to, improve, and repair the Building or the Premises as Landlord deems necessary or desirable, or as any governmental authority may require, provided Landlord uses reasonable methods; or (d) exhibit the Premises to prospective tenants, purchasers of the Building, or lenders (as to prospective tenants only during the last year of the Term or Extension Period, as applicable). None of the above will be construed as an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to Tenant’s business because of such activities, and unless doing so is impractical or unreasonable because of an emergency, will notify Tenant that Landlord intends to enter the Premises.
12. INSURANCE.
12.1 General. Tenant may not conduct or permit to be conducted any activity nor place any equipment in or about the Premises or the Project that will, in any way, increase the rate of, or cause the cancellation of, any policy of insurance of any kind covering any or all of the Project or any liability of Landlord in connection therewith. If any insurance company or the applicable insurance rating bureau states that any increase in the rate of insurance is due to any Tenant’s activity or equipment in or about the Premises or the Project, such statements will be conclusive evidence that the increase in such rate is due to such activity or equipment and, as a result thereof, Tenant will be liable for such increase and will reimburse Landlord therefore on demand. Any such sum due Landlord will be Additional Rent payable hereunder. If any activity, equipment, or improvement done, installed, or constructed by Tenant in or to the Premises violates any requirements of Landlord’s insurer(s), Tenant will take prompt action to comply with such requirements at Tenant’s sole cost.

Such liability insurance policy will name Landlord and Landlord’s designated management agency (and, at Landlord’s request, the Mortgagee) as additional insureds, and will contain an endorsement that such insurance will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that the insured has waived its right of action against any party before the occurrence of a loss. A current certificate of insurance and endorsements (in form and substance acceptable to Landlord) from such insurer will be delivered to Landlord’s agent not less than thirty (30) days before the Lease Commencement Date and renewals thereof will be delivered to Landlord’s agent not less than thirty (30) days before the expiration of any such policy. Each policy will contain an endorsement prohibiting its cancellation before the expiration of thirty (30) days after written notice to Landlord or its Mortgagee of such proposed cancellation and will include an endorsement stating that such insurance will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the fact that the insurer has waived its right of subrogation before the occurrence of a loss.
12.4 Increase in Insurance. The amounts of insurance coverage Tenant is required to maintain under this Lease are subject to review at the end of each two (2) year period after the Lease Commencement Date. At each review, if necessary to maintain the same level of coverage that existed on the Lease Commencement Date, the amounts of coverage shall be increased to the amounts of coverage carried by prudent landlords and tenants of Comparable Buildings.
12.5 Mutual Waiver of Subrogation. Whenever (a) any loss, damage, or cost resulting from fire, explosion, or any other casualty or occurrence is incurred by either of the parties to this Lease, or anyone claiming by, through, or under it in connection with the Premises, and (b) such party is then covered in whole or in part by insurance against such loss, damage, or
cost and is required under this Lease to be so insured, then the party so insured (or so required) releases the other party from any liability such other party may have because of such loss, damage, or cost the extent of any amount recovered because of such insurance (or that could have been recovered had such insurance been carried as so required) and waives any right of subrogation that might otherwise exist in or accrue to any person on account thereof.
12.6 Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord will, as part of Operating Costs, keep the Building (but not any of Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, equipment, personal property, or other removable property or any Alterations, Non-Building Standard Improvements, or any other leasehold improvements made in the Premises) insured against loss or damage caused by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), as any Mortgagee may from time to time require (or provide such greater insurance coverage as Landlord may determine in its sole and absolute subjective discretion). Landlord will, as part of Operating Costs, maintain rental interruption insurance in commercially reasonable amounts.
13. INDEMNITY. Except as may be the direct result of Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and regardless of Landlord’s insurance coverage, Tenant will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend (with counsel satisfactory to Landlord) Landlord, its members (and the members of its members), and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, and invitees (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from any loss, damage, liability, or cost (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all court costs) incurred by the Indemnified Parties and occasioned by or in any way related to or based on (a) the use and occupancy of the Premises or the Project by Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees, and any other persons who gain access to the Premises, including any violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and any zoning, health, environmental or other Applicable Laws of any governmental authority, (b) the negligence or the intentionally wrongful acts or omissions of Tenant, its agents, employees and invitees, (c) any default, breach or violation of this Lease by Tenant, its agents, employees and invitees, (d) injury or death to individuals or damage to property sustained in or about the Premises, Building or Project, or (e) injury or death to individuals or damage to property sustained in or about the Premises, Building or Project and incurred in connection with Tenant and/or its agent’s construction of the Tenant Improvements.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, in no event will Landlord have any liability to Tenant for any claims for the interruption of or loss to Tenant’s business or for any indirect damages or consequential losses.
14.2 No Reduction. Except as provided in Section 17 (Damage by Fire or Casualty), Tenant may not xxxxx or reduce Base Rent or Additional Rent as a result of any of the occurrences set forth in Section 14.1 (General), nor will any of such occurrences release Tenant from its obligations hereunder or constitute an eviction. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Lease to the contrary, any goods, property, or personal effects stored or placed by Tenant in or about the Premises or the rest of the Building or the Project will be at the sole risk of Tenant, and Landlord will not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage thereto.
14.3 Package Deliveries. Landlord’s employees are prohibited from receiving any packages or other articles delivered to the Building for Tenant, and if any such employee receives any such package or articles, such employee will be the agent of Tenant and not of Landlord.

However, if Landlord elects to provide either of the foregoing, Tenant agrees that Landlord will not be responsible for the quality of such of the foregoing that may be provided hereunder or for damage or injury to Tenant, its employees, invitees or others due to the failure, action or inaction of either of same.
15. TENANT’S EQUIPMENT.

use, but Landlord does not represent or warrant that electricity capacity in excess of three and a half (3.5) xxxxx per square foot of the Premises (exclusive of electrical power for HVAC and lights in the Premises) will be available.
15.3 Excessive Water Consumption. Tenant may not use or consume water other than for drinking, lavatory, and toilet purposes, or in unusual quantities (of which fact Landlord will reasonably judge), without first obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned.
15.4 Excessive Utilities Consumption. Tenant may not install any equipment of any kind or nature whatsoever (including electric space heaters and supplementary air-conditioning units) that will or may necessitate any changes, replacements, or additions to, or in the use of, the water system, heating system, plumbing system, HVAC system, or electrical system of the Premises or the rest of the Building. Landlord may condition its consent to Tenant’s request to install or use any equipment or machinery or to consume excess utilities on Tenant’s agreement to pay Additional Rent to compensate Landlord for any excess consumption of utilities and for the cost of additional wiring, piping, or other improvements to the Building as may be occasioned by the operation of such equipment or machinery or by such excess use of utilities. If any excessive consumption of any utilities occurs (including any consumption beyond Building Hours), Landlord may require Tenant to install in the Premises (at Tenant’s sole cost and in a location Landlord approves) meters or submeters to measure Tenant’s utility consumption for the Premises or for any specific equipment causing excess consumption, as Landlord may require; in which case, Tenant will maintain in good order and repair (and replace, if necessary) such meters or submeters. If separate meters are installed to measure Tenant’s use of any utilities, then Tenant will pay directly to the appropriate utility company the charges for such utilities. If submeters are installed to measure Tenant’s consumption of any utilities, Tenant will pay to Landlord as Additional Rent the costs of the same as well as a reasonable administrative processing fee to defray the expenses incurred by Landlord in reading such submeters and in processing the requisite invoices, within fifteen (15) days of its receipt of a xxxx therefore based on such submeter readings.
15.5 No Vibration. Tenant’s business machines and mechanical equipment that cause noise or vibration that may be transmitted to the structure of the Building or to any space therein to such a degree as to be objectionable to Landlord or to any tenant in the Building will be installed and maintained by Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost, on vibration eliminators or other devices sufficient to eliminate such noise and vibration, which fact Landlord will reasonably judge. Whenever heat generating machines or equipment are used in the Premises, Landlord may require Tenant to install supplementary air conditioning units in the Premises and Tenant will pay any cost associated therewith, including any cost to install, operate, and maintain them.
15.6 Lien on Personal Property. Tenant hereby expressly grants to Landlord a security interest in and an express contractual lien upon Tenant’s or any other party’s furniture, furnishings, equipment, and articles of personal property of every kind and nature whatsoever (“Personalty”), situated in or on the Premises, including all after-acquired Personalty (“Secured Property”) to secure the performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, if an Event of Default occurs after all applicable notice and cure periods. The Secured Property will not be
removed from the Premises by Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord until all Rents then due to Landlord have first been paid, except for the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business so long as such inventory is replaced by Tenant. Tenant hereby appoints Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact, and authorized Landlord to execute and to file financing statements signed only by Landlord (as attorney-in-fact) covering such security or to otherwise take such action as may be necessary to perfect such security interest and/or contractual lien. Upon termination of this Lease, Landlord may, in addition to any other remedies, enter upon the Premises and take possession of the Secured Property situated on the Premises without liability for trespass or conversion, and sell the same with notice at public or private sale, with or without having such property at the sale, at which Landlord or its assigns may purchase, and may apply the proceeds thereof less any and all expenses connected with the taking of possession and sale of the Secured Property, as a credit against any sums due by Tenant to Landlord. Any surplus will be paid to Tenant provided Landlord has been paid in full, and Tenant agrees to pay any deficiency forthwith, after demand. Landlord, at its option may foreclose the security interest and/or contractual lien in the manner provided by Applicable Law. The security interest and contractual lien granted to Landlord is in addition to Landlord’s lien that may now or at any time hereafter be provided by Applicable Law.
16. SERVICES AND UTILITIES.
16.1 Electricity. Landlord will furnish electricity to the Premises, subject to the restrictions contained at Section 15.2 of this Lease.
16.2 HVAC Service; Hours of Operation. Landlord will furnish air-conditioning or heat (during those respective seasons of the year in which they are necessary) to or for the benefit of the Premises during the Building Hours as, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, is required for the comfortable use and occupancy of the Premises. During Building Hours Landlord will provide air-conditioning and heat based on standard electrical energy requirements of not more than an average of three and a half (3.5) xxxxx per square foot of the Premises (exclusive of electricity for general power uses and lights in the Premises) and a human occupancy of not more than one person for each 120 square feet of Gross Rentable Area of the Premises.

Landlord will operate the heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (“HVAC”) system in the most energy-efficient manner possible within the limits established in the Building design, and according to any directive, policy, or request of a governmental authority. To control electrical demand and energy consumption, Landlord may install a computerized energy-management system that operates the HVAC system in on-off cycles. Extra hours of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (i.e., all times other than during Building Hours) will be provided to Tenant on Tenant’s request with at least 24 hours’ advance notice on a previous Business Day. Landlord will charge Tenant for Landlord’s cost of such service based on Landlord’s estimate of additional utility consumption and any other costs associated with such extra service, and Tenant will pay such amount as Additional Rent within fifteen (15) days of its receipt of a xxxx therefore. As of the date hereof, the estimated hourly cost per floor for HVAC service is an amount equal to Seventy Five Dollars ($75.00), with a two (2) hour minimum charge. Such amount shall be subject to periodic change based on actual costs incurred by Landlord from time to time.
16.3 Lighting. Landlord will provide reasonably adequate electricity (not to exceed three 3 xxxxx per square foot of the Premises exclusive of electrical power for HVAC and general power uses in the Premises) as is normal and customary in the Comparable Buildings.

16.6 Interruptions. Landlord does not warrant that any utilities or services Landlord supplies may not be interrupted or delayed. Landlord and its agents will not be liable for a failure to furnish, or for delay or suspension in furnishing or providing, any of the utilities or services Landlord is required to furnish or provide whether such failure is caused by breakdown, maintenance, repairs, strikes, scarcity of labor and/or materials, acts of God, or any other cause or reason whatsoever. If the Building equipment should cease to function properly, Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to repair the same promptly. Landlord’s failure or inability to furnish the utilities or services required under this Lease will not be construed as an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises and will not entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease or to xxxxx any Rent payable under this Lease, except as provided in the following sentence. If, as a result of Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (excluding a Force Majeure event), any utilities are not furnished to the Premises, rendering the Premises, or any part thereof, unusable for a period of five (5) consecutive days, and the interruption of such utilities is specific to the Project only, then Base Rent and Additional Rent payable for such portion of the Premises which Tenant does not so use shall xxxxx for the period starting on the commencement of the sixth (6th) day and expiring on the date the utilities are restored or Tenant is able to resume use of the Premises or such part thereof, as the case may be.

During weekends and Holidays, the electronic security system is intended to be in operation 24 hours a day. Landlord will provide Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and as Additional Rent, any additional access control system or equipment Tenant desires for the Premises. Landlord will not be liable for the functionality, quality, action, or inaction of the Building access system or for any damage or injury to Tenant, its employees, invitees, or others, or their property, resulting from any failure, action, or inaction of the Building access system.
16.8 Landlord’s Rights to Building Maintenance and Renovations. Landlord will have the following rights to maintain, repair, and renovate the Building and Project:
16.8.1 Routine Maintenance. To enter the Premises at any time, on reasonable prior notice if possible, to perform routine maintenance and repairs.
16.8.2 Alterations. To change or alter from time to time the arrangement and/or location of public entrances, passageways, doors, common areas, Parking Areas, doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets, and all other parts of the Building and Project, to add to the Building and Project or areas of the Building and Project, and to change the name, street number, or designation by which the Building and Project may be known.
16.8.3 Renovation Program. To carry out a renovation program for the Building and Project. In the performance of a renovation program in the Building, Project or Premises, Landlord, its agents, contractors, and all persons retained in connection therewith, may enter the Premises to perform renovation work after Building hours, on at least one (1) day’s notice. Tenant will cooperate with Landlord in temporarily relocating furniture, fixtures, personal property, and personnel as required to complete the renovation work in the Building. Any work Landlord performs under this Section 16.8 will be with the minimum disruption practicable to Tenant’s occupancy, but such work will not entitle Tenant to xxxxx Rent or otherwise fail to perform its obligations hereunder.
16.9 Energy Conservation and Governmental Policies. Landlord will be deemed to have observed and performed the terms and conditions to be performed by Landlord under this Lease, including those relating to the provisions of utilities and services, if in so doing it acts according to an Applicable Law, directive, policy, or request of a governmental authority in respect of energy conservation or security.
17. DAMAGE BY FIRE OR CASUALTY.
17.1 General. If a Casualty partially damages or destroys the Premises, Landlord will diligently proceed to fully repair and restore, at its own cost, the Building Standard
Improvements (Exhibit I) located in the Premises substantially to their condition before the Casualty, subject to the provisions of this Section 17 and if adequate insurance proceeds are available to Landlord. Due allowance, however, will be given for the time required to adjust and settle insurance claims, and for such other delays as may result from government restrictions, any controls on construction, and for strikes, emergencies, and other conditions beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. Tenant will diligently proceed to fully repair and restore, at Tenant’s sole cost, all Tenant Improvements (except the Building Standard Improvements) and Alterations in the Premises to their condition existing before their damage or destruction. If a Casualty partially damages or destroys the Premises, this Lease will continue in full force and effect, but if the damage or destruction is such so as to make the Premises or any substantial part thereof untenantable for ten (10) consecutive Business Days after the Casualty and Tenant ceases to use such untenantable area, then the Rent that Tenant is obligated to pay under this Lease will xxxxx proportionately (based on the number of square feet made untenantable) as of the first Business Day after the Casualty until the earlier of the date that Tenant again uses such space or the date that the repair and/or restoration work that Landlord is obligated to perform hereunder has been Substantially Completed. If Tenant, its agents, servants, or invitees cause such damage or destruction, Tenant may not xxxxx or reduce Base Rent.
17.2 Casualty—Building. If a Casualty makes untenantable more than one-half (1/2) of the Gross Office Rentable Area of the Building, then within sixty (60) days from the date of such Casualty Landlord may terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant, specifying an effective date, not less than twenty (20) days nor more than forty (40) days after the giving of such notice, on which the Term will expire as fully and completely as if such date were the date herein originally fixed for the expiration of the Term. If Landlord terminates this Lease pursuant to this Section 17.2, Base Rent will be apportioned as of the date of such termination.
17.3 Casualty—Premises. If (a) a Casualty damages the Premises, (b) the damage to the Premises is so extensive that the Premises are substantially untenantable, and (c) Landlord determines in the exercise of its reasonable judgment that the repair and/or restoration work that Landlord is obligated to perform hereunder cannot be substantially completed within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date such work starts, then either Landlord or Tenant within sixty (60) days from the date of such Casualty may terminate this Lease by notice to the other, specifying an effective date, not less than twenty (20) days nor more than forty (40) days after the giving of such notice, on which the Term will end as fully and completely as if such date were the date originally fixed for the end of the Term. If either Landlord or Tenant terminates this Lease pursuant to this Section 17.3, Rent will be apportioned as of the date of such Casualty.
17.4 Casualty Near End of Term. If a Casualty makes eighty percent (80%) or more of the Premises untenantable during the last six (6) months of the Term, Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease if it notifies the other party within ninety (90) days after such Casualty and specifies an effective date, not less than twenty (20) days nor more than forty (40) days after it notifies the other party, on which date the Term will expire as fully and completely as if such date were the date originally fixed for the Term to end. If either Landlord or Tenant terminates this Lease pursuant to this Section 17.4, Base Rent will be apportioned as of the date of such Casualty.
17.5 Proceeds. The proceeds payable under all fire and other hazard insurance policies Landlord maintains on the Building will belong to and are Landlord’s property, and Tenant has no right to such proceeds. Tenant will look only to its own fire and hazard insurance policies if Tenant’s personal property or any Non-Building Standard Improvements in the Premises (including such portions of Tenant Improvements that constitute Non-Building Standard Improvements) are damaged.
17.6 Limitations. No compensation, claim or diminution of Base Rent and Additional Rent will be allowed or paid by Landlord because of inconvenience, annoyance, or injury to business arising from the necessity of repairing the Premises or any portion of the Building, however the necessity may occur. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 17, if Landlord becomes obligated to repair the Premises, such repairs will be to only the Building Standard Improvements located in the Premises, and not to any Alterations, Non-Building Standard Improvements, or any other improvements in the Premises or Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, and equipment, or Tenant’s other personal property. At Landlord’s sole option, Landlord may repair and restore, on Tenant’s behalf, all (or any portion) of the Non-Building Standard Improvements and Alterations in the Premises that Tenant is required to repair and restore pursuant to Section 17.1 (General), in which case, Tenant will remit to Landlord for such use all of its insurance proceeds; provided, however, that Landlord will not be required to spend more on any such repair or restoration than the amount of insurance proceeds Landlord actually receives from Tenant. Landlord may require Tenant to pay Landlord a reasonable fee as Additional Rent to reimburse Landlord for overhead and administrative costs Landlord incurs for any such repair or restoration Landlord undertakes or supervises. Any Non-Building Standard Improvements, Alterations, or other improvements Tenant replaces in the Premises will be of at least comparable quality to the items damaged or destroyed.
18. CONDEMNATION.
18.1 General. If all or substantially all of the Premises are taken or condemned by any governmental authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose (including sale under threat of such a taking) (a “Taking”), then the Term will end as of the date of the Taking, and all Rent will be abated as of such date. If less than substantially all of the Premises is the subject of a Taking, the Rent will be equitably adjusted as of the date of the Taking and this Lease will otherwise continue in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Taking occurs of so substantial a part of the Building that Landlord concludes, in its reasonable discretion, that it is impracticable to continue to operate the Building, then Landlord, at its option, may end this Lease by notifying Tenant and specifying a date not earlier than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice as of which date this Lease will end.
18.2 Proceeds. Tenant may not assert a claim against Landlord (or otherwise) for any portion of the amount that may be awarded as damages as a result of any Taking or for the value of any unexpired Term; provided, however, that Tenant may assert any claim that it may have against the condemning authority for compensation for any fixtures owned by Tenant and for any relocation costs compensable by Applicable Law, and receive such award therefor as may be allowed in the condemnation proceedings, if such award is in addition to and stated separately from the award made to Landlord for the Land and the Building or the part thereof so taken.
19. DAMAGE CAUSED BY TENANT. Tenant will promptly notify Landlord of any injury or damage to the Premises, Building or Project. Tenant will repair, at its sole cost at Landlord’s direction and under Landlord’s supervision, all injury or damage Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors, invitees, visitors, or licensees cause to the Premises, Building or Project; provided, however, that if any such injury or damage is to any of the Building systems or structures, including the mechanical, electrical, structural, HVAC, plumbing, elevator, sprinkler and/or life/safety systems, Tenant may not make any repairs thereto, but Landlord may in its sole and absolute subjective discretion make any such repairs at Tenant’s sole cost. Tenant will pay to Landlord any such cost Landlord incurs (in which event such cost will become Additional Rent payable with the installment of Base Rent next becoming due under the terms of this Lease). If Tenant fails to make any repairs it is required to make under this Lease, Landlord may, in its sole and absolute subjective discretion, make such repairs or replacements. Tenant will pay to Landlord any such cost Landlord incurs (in which event such cost will become Additional Rent payable with the installment of Base Rent next becoming due under the terms of this Lease). The Additional Rent referenced in this Section 19 will bear interest from the date Landlord incurs the costs to the date paid by Tenant at the Default Rate. This provision will be construed as an additional remedy granted to Landlord and not in limitation of any other rights and remedies that Landlord may have in such circumstances.
20. DEFAULT OF TENANT.
20.1 Events of Default. Each of the following constitute an “Event of Default” and breach of this Lease by Tenant:
20.1.1 Monetary Default. If Tenant fails to pay by the due date the Base Rent or Additional Rent, and Tenant fails to cure such nonpayment within three (3) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord.
20.1.2 Abandonment. If Tenant abandons or vacates the Premises.
20.1.3 Failure to Take Possession. If Tenant falls to take possession of the Premises within thirty (30) days after the date Landlord tenders possession of the Premises to Tenant.
20.1.4 Other Defaults. If Tenant fails to observe or perform any of its other obligations under the provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant (except a term, agreement, or condition, the observation or performance of which is otherwise dealt with in this Section 20.1), and, such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after Landlord gives Tenant written notice thereof.
20.1.5 Bankruptcy. If Tenant makes any general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; if there is filed by or against Tenant a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or if a petition for reorganization or arrangement is filed under any
Applicable Law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the petition is dismissed within sixty (60) days); if a trustee or receiver is appointed to take possession of all or substantially all of Tenant’s interest in this Lease; if all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or Tenant’s interest in this Lease are attached, executed on, or otherwise subjected to other judicial seizure, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days; or if Tenant is generally not paying its debts as they become due; provided, however, that in no event may this Lease be assigned or assignable by operation of law or by voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise, and in no event may this Lease or any rights or privileges hereunder be an asset of Tenant under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other debtor relief proceedings.
20.1.6 Chronic Default. If Tenant fails to pay the Base Rent or any Additional Rent by the due date thereof more than two (2) times during any calendar year (even if Tenant cures each such failure within the time provided in Section 20.1.1 [Monetary Default]).
20.1.7 Assignment. If an assignment or sublease occurs in violation of any provision contained in this Lease.
20.2 Remedies. In addition to any other remedies available at Applicable Law or in equity, Landlord will have the following rights: (a) to terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises; or (b) to continue this Lease in full force and effect even though Tenant may have defaulted in its obligations and abandoned the Premises.
20.2.1 Lease Termination. In the event that Landlord elects to terminate the Lease and Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises, then Landlord may recover from Tenant the following: (i) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of events would be likely to result therefrom including, without limitation, the unamortized portion of the Tenant Work Allowance amortized over the Term together with Default Interest and the costs or expenses as Landlord may incur or anticipate in connection with re-entering, ejecting, removing, dispossessing, cleaning, reletting, altering, repairing, marketing, redecorating, subdividing, or otherwise preparing the Premises for reletting, including brokerage and attorneys’ fees and court costs; and (v) at Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by the Applicable Law.
20.2.2 Lease Continuation. In the event Landlord elects to continue the Lease in full force and effect even though Tenant may have defaulted in its obligations and abandoned the Premises, then Landlord shall have the remedy available in Section 1951.4 of the California Civil Code, including the right to collect rent each month as it becomes due, and may
recover from Tenant all damages Landlord may sustain by reason of Tenant’s default, including the amount of damages set forth in (i) and (ii) of Section 20.2.1 of this Lease and may enforce all other rights and remedies under this Lease. In such event
Tenant will have the right, unless Landlord elects to terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises under Section 20.2.1 of this Lease to transfer its interest in this Lease or the Premises as provided in Article 6 of this Lease. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease and Tenant’s possession of the Premises, Landlord at any time thereafter may relet the Premises, or any part or parts thereof for a term or terms which may, at Landlord’s option, be less than, exceed or equal the period of the remainder of the Term of this Lease. Landlord will receive the Rent from such reletting and will apply the Rent during the term of this Lease as follows: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant; second, to the payment of such expenses as Landlord may have incurred in connection with re-entering, ejecting, removing, dispossessing, reletting, altering, repairing, redecorating, subdividing, or otherwise preparing the Premises for reletting, including brokerage and reasonable attorneys’ fees; and third, to the fulfillment of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Tenant hereby waives all claims to the surplus, if any. Any deficiency will be calculated and paid monthly by Tenant. Landlord will in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for the failure to relet the Premises or in the event of such reletting for failure to collect the Rents reserved thereunder and any such efforts to mitigate damages caused by Tenant’s default will not waive Landlord’s rights to recover damages. Landlord is hereby authorized and empowered to make such repairs, alterations, decorations, subdivisions, or other preparations for the reletting of the Premises as Landlord deems fit, advisable or necessary, without in any way releasing Tenant from any liability under this Lease.
No re-entry, taking possession, acts of maintenance or preservation or effects to relet the Premises by Landlord will be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease and Tenant hereby specifically waives any Applicable Law, statute, rule, decree or judgment of any court to the contrary. Notwithstanding any such re-entry without termination, Landlord reserves the right to elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease and Tenant’s possession of the Premises, Landlord and Tenant covenant and agree that Landlord will have the right to immediately re-enter the Premises by summary proceedings, if necessary, and to dispossess Tenant and all other Occupants thereof and to remove and dispose of all property therein or to store such property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Tenant without Landlord being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may arise out of such action. Landlord will also have the right, at its election, to pursue any and all of such rights together with any other right to remedy which may be available to Landlord under any Applicable Law then in effect.
20.2.3 Other Remedies. In the event of any breach or threatened breach by Landlord or Tenant of any of the terms and provisions of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant will have the right to injunctive relief and declaratory relief as if no other remedies were provided for such breach. The rights and remedies herein reserved by or granted to Landlord and Tenant are distinct, separate and cumulative, and the exercise of any one of them will not be deemed to preclude, waive or prejudice their right to exercise any or all others. Additionally, any two (2) failures by Tenant to observe and perform any provision of this Lease for which a notice of
default has been delivered by Landlord to Tenant (without regard to the subsequent cure) during any twelve (12) month period of Term of this Lease will constitute a separate non-curable Event of Default that will entitle Landlord to cancel the Lease and take immediate possession of the Premises. In the alternative Landlord may require that Rent be paid quarterly in advance by certified check or cash. It is the intention of this provision to protect Landlord against habitual breaches of the Lease by Tenant.
21. LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE TENANT’S DEFAULT; LANDLORD’S CONSENT.
21.1 Landlord’s Right to Cure. If Tenant fails to pay any amount or to do any act Tenant is required to perform under this Lease (other than to pay Base Rent), Landlord may, but will not be required to, pay such amount or do such act, and Tenant will reimburse Landlord for the total cost thereof, if paid or done by Landlord, with interest on such amount at the Default Rate from the date paid by Landlord, and such amount will constitute Additional Rent hereunder due and payable with the next monthly installment of Base Rent. Landlord’s paying such amount or doing such act will not operate to cure such default or to estop Landlord from pursuing any remedy to which Landlord would otherwise be entitled.
21.2 Landlord’s Consent. Where provision is made in this Lease for Landlord’s consent and Landlord shall fail or refuse to give such consent, except to the extent expressly provided herein to the contrary Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages for any withholding by Landlord of its consent, it being intended that Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be an action for specific performance or injunction and that such remedy shall be available only in those cases where Landlord has expressly agreed in writing not unreasonably to withhold its consent. Whenever in this Lease the consent or approval of Landlord or Tenant is required, such consent or approval shall (except to the extent that such consent or approval is specifically designated as being “within the sole and absolute subjective discretion” of a party, or words to that effect, in the applicable provision) not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, shall be in writing, and shall be executed by a duly authorized officer or agent of the party granting such consent or approval; provided, however, that Landlord shall be deemed to have reasonably withheld its consent if any Mortgagee withholds its consent or otherwise objects to any proposed consent or approval.
22. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Tenant will, (a) within five (5) days after Tenant receives written notice from Landlord, from time to time, and (b) on the Lease Commencement Date simultaneous with the execution of the Lease Commencement Agreement, execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord, at no cost to Landlord, a statement in writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), (ii) stating the dates to which the Rent has been paid by Tenant, (iii) stating whether to the best knowledge of Tenant, Landlord has failed to fulfill any of its obligations under this Lease, and, if so, specifying each such failure of which Tenant has knowledge, (iv) stating that Tenant will give written notice to Landlord’s tender of any failure by Landlord to fulfill any of its obligations under this Lease, (v) stating the address to which notices to Tenant should be sent, (vi) for the estoppel certificate delivered on the Lease Commencement Date,
stating that Tenant accepts the Premises and the improvements therein, and (vii) providing any other such information Landlord reasonably requests relating to this Lease. Any owner of the Building, any prospective purchaser of the Building, any Mortgagee or prospective Mortgagee of the Building or of Landlord’s interest, or any prospective assignee of any such mortgage may be rely on any such statement delivered pursuant hereto. Tenant irrevocably appoints Landlord, as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact, to execute and deliver on Tenant’s behalf any estoppel certificate to which Tenant does not object with specificity in writing within five (5) days of Tenant’s receipt thereof. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s compliance with the requirements of this Section is necessary for Landlord to manage efficiently the financial and other aspects of owning and operating the Project (including facilitating the financing, refinancing, and/or sale of the Building or Project, any part thereof or any interest therein) and that any breach or other violation of the provisions of this Section will result in material damages to Landlord (including any damages to Landlord in connection with its financing, refinancing, or sale of the Project, any part thereof, or any interest therein that results from any such breach or violation). Any breach or other violation of any requirement of this Section will be a default hereunder, entitling Landlord to undertake immediately an action for the damages resulting therefrom (including any consequential, direct, and/or indirect damages) and pursue any other remedies available to Landlord on account of such default, including any remedies available under this Lease or at law or equity.
23. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT.
23.1 General. This Lease is subject and subordinate to the lien, operation, and effect of any mortgages (which term “mortgages” includes deeds of trust and similar security instruments; and the term “Mortgagee” means the holder of any such mortgage) that may now or hereafter encumber or otherwise affect the Land and/or Building, or Landlord’s interest therein, and to any renewals, extensions, modifications, or refinancings thereof, and to any current or future ground lease of the Land. To confirm such subordination, Tenant will, at Landlord’s request, promptly execute any requisite or appropriate subordination or other document. This clause is self-operative and no further act by Tenant is required to effectuate the foregoing subordination or the attornment specified herein. If any proceedings are brought to foreclose any mortgage, Tenant will attorn to the purchaser at such foreclosure sale, and recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease. Tenant waives the provision of any statute or rule of law, now or hereafter in effect, that permits or purports to permit Tenant to end or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder if any such foreclosure proceeding is prosecuted or completed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant agrees that the holders of any such mortgages may make this Lease superior to the lien, operation, and effect of such mortgage, by the filing of subordination statements or otherwise, and Tenant consents to any such filing. Landlord represents and warrants that currently the Project is not encumbered by any financing, and furthermore to the extent
Tenant is requested to subordinate to a future loan or mortgage (whether Landlord puts debt on the Project, or a purchaser acquires the Project or Building using debt), Tenant’s obligation to subordinate to such future loan or mortgage (and the deed of trust) will be subject to Tenant entering into a commercially reasonable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to such future lender and Tenant.
23.2 Mortgagee Protection. Tenant agrees to give any Mortgagee, by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, a copy of any notice of any failure by Landlord to fulfill any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease served on Landlord by Tenant, provided that before such notice Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of notice of assignment of rents and leases, or otherwise) of the addresses of such Mortgagee. Tenant agrees that the Mortgagee will have such time as may be necessary to cure such failure as long as any Mortgagee has started and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such failure (including time to take possession and/or start foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure).
23.3 Lender Requested Changes. If any lender providing construction or permanent financing or any refinancing for all or any portion of the Building requires, as a condition of such financing, that modifications to this Lease be obtained, and provided that such modifications (a) are reasonable, (b) do not adversely affect in a material manner Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises as herein permitted, (c) do not increase the Rent and other sums to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, (d) do not reduce the services provided to Tenant under this Lease, (e) do not materially decrease Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, and (f) do not materially affect the rights and obligations of Tenant under this Lease, Landlord may submit to Tenant a written amendment to this Lease incorporating such required changes, and Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to execute, acknowledge, and deliver such amendment to Landlord within ten (10) days of Tenant’s receipt thereof.
23.4 Mortgagee Approval. [Intentionally Omitted]
24. BROKERS. Landlord will pay the commission payable to the Broker identified in the Basic Lease Information pursuant to a separate agreement between the Broker and Landlord. Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant one to the other that if either has engaged any broker or agent (other than the Broker) in carrying on the negotiations relating to this Lease, it will pay any brokerage commission payable to such broker or agent. Tenant will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Landlord from and against any claims, losses, damages, or costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all court costs) arising out of any breach of the foregoing representation and warranty by Tenant or any purported or actual dealings by Tenant and any broker or agent other than the Broker. Any representation or statement by a leasing company or other third party (or employee thereof engaged by Landlord as an independent contractor) that is made about the Premises or to the rest of the Building or the Project will not bind Landlord nor modify this Lease and Landlord will have no liability therefor, except to the extent such representation is also contained herein.
25. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. At any time during the Term that Tenant is not a “publicly traded company” (i.e., ownership interests are listed on a public securities exchange), then within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of Tenant, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a financial statement, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, showing the complete results of Tenant’s operations for its immediately preceding fiscal year. Such financial statements must be either certified by a certified public accountant or sworn to as to their accuracy by Tenant’s chief financial officer. Landlord will retain such statements in confidence, but may provide copies to Mortgagees and potential Mortgagees and
purchasers as required. If at anytime Tenant is in monetary default of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to request and Tenant shall provide within (15) fifteen days of such request, the current financial statements as of the most recent month end in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord certified by a certified public accountant or sworn to as to their accuracy by Tenant’s (or the guarantor’s, if applicable) chief financial officer.
26. SURRENDER; HOLDING OVER.
26.1 Surrender. After the Term ends, (a) Tenant will surrender the Premises and all keys, locks, and fixtures and improvements thereto (except only Tenant’s personal property) in good order, repair, and condition, as the same are now or will be at the Lease Commencement Date, except for ordinary wear and tear, and (b) Tenant will remove from the Premises the personal property of Tenant, any of its subtenants, and any other persons or entities claiming by, through, or under Tenant and repair any damage to the Premises caused by the removal. Any personal property belonging to Tenant or any other person that is left in the Premises after the Term ends will be deemed to have been abandoned and will become Landlord’s property. In case of such deemed abandonment, Landlord may retain such personal property or may dispose of same at Tenant’s sole cost (including the cost of selling such property or storing same in a warehouse or elsewhere in accordance with Applicable Law), and promptly on demand Tenant will reimburse Landlord as Additional Rent for any costs Landlord incurs in connection therewith, including reasonable attorney’s fees and all court costs. Landlord will not be liable for trespass, conversion, negligence, or in an other way liable in connection with such property.
26.2 Holding Over. Without Landlord’s prior written consent, Tenant may not occupy or retain, or allow any subtenant to occupy or retain, possession of the Premises at any time after the Term ends. If without Landlord’s prior written consent Tenant holds over after the Term ends, Landlord may regain possession of the Premises by any legal process in force at such time. It will be conclusively presumed that the value to Tenant of remaining in possession of the Premises after the Term ends, and the loss or damage that Landlord may suffer as a result thereof, far exceed the Rent Tenant would have paid had the Term continued during the holdover period. If Tenant continues to occupy the Premises after the Term ends, then Tenant will be liable to pay to Landlord an amount equal to One Hundred Fifty Percent (150%) of the monthly installments of Base Rent being paid immediately before the Lease Expiration Date, plus escalations, Additional Rent, and any other charges paid on an installment basis, for each month or part of a month that Tenant occupies the Premises after the date the Term ends, plus any other Additional Rent or charges due, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and all court costs Landlord incurs in regaining possession of the Premises and/or to recover the foregoing amounts. Such damages for the first calendar month (or part thereof) during the holdover period will be due and payable on the day immediately following the end of the Term, and for each calendar month thereafter during the holdover period, such damages will be due and payable on the first day of such calendar month. If the holdover period ends on a date other than the last day of a calendar month, such damages for the entire calendar month in which the holdover period ends will be deemed earned by Landlord as of the first day of such month, and Tenant will not be entitled to a refund or reduction of Rent for any such partial month. Any security deposit provided to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease will be forfeited. Holdover occupancy by Tenant
will be subject to all of the terms, agreements, and conditions of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord intends to lease the Premises (in whole, in part, or as a part of a larger portion of the Building) to another tenant immediately after the Term ends and that any breach or other violation of the provisions of this Section 26.2 may result in material damages to Landlord (including any damages to Landlord in connection with its reletting of the Premises and/or other portions of the Building). Tenant will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Landlord from all damages, losses, and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all court costs) that Landlord suffers as a result of Tenant’s holdover use and occupancy of the Premises.
27. WAIVER; NO ACCORD AND SATISFACTION. If Landlord waives Tenant’s breach of any condition or agreement contained in this Lease, such waiver will not operate as a waiver of such condition or agreement itself nor of any subsequent breach thereof. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly installment of Base Rent or any Additional Rent will be other than on account of the earliest stipulated Base Rent and Additional Rent, nor will any endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying a check for payment of any Base Rent or Additional Rent be an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or to pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. No reentry by Landlord, and no acceptance by Landlord of keys from Tenant, will be considered an acceptance of a surrender of this Lease. Tenant waives any right of redemption granted by or under any present or future Applicable Laws if Tenant is evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or if Landlord obtains possession of the Premises because Tenant violates any of the agreements and conditions of this Lease, or otherwise.
28. RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, and invitees will observe the rules and regulations contained in Exhibit D, and such other rules or regulations as Landlord may promulgate from time to time for the operation and maintenance of the Building and Project, with a copy sent to Tenant. Landlord shall have no duty or obligation to enforce such rules and regulations, or the terms, conditions, or agreements contained in any other lease, as against any other tenant. Landlord will not be liable to Tenant for violation of the same by any other tenant, its employees, agents, business invitees, licensees, customers, family members, or guests.
29. AGREEMENT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT. If Tenant pays the Rent and performs all of the agreements, terms, and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, then during the Term Tenant may, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, freely, peaceably, and quietly occupy and enjoy the full possession of the Premises without molestation or hindrance by Landlord or any party claiming by, through, or under Landlord.
30. NOTICES. All notices or other communications under this Lease will be in writing and will be deemed duly given if delivered by hand, or by a nationally recognized delivery service providing receipt evidencing such delivery, or by facsimile transmission the receipt of which is confirmed, or by certified mail, return receipt requested, first-class, postage prepaid, to the Address for Notices set forth in the Basic Lease Information unless notice of a change of address is given in writing pursuant to this Section. Notice will be deemed to have been given on receipt or at the time delivery is refused.
31. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.

Tenant agrees that, in addition to other factors and considerations Landlord may take into account, it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any matters set forth in the Final Working Drawings and not contained in the Final
Space Plans, (i) if such requested modifications would not comply with the Building Codes or any laws, (ii) subject to Section 7 if such requested modifications would cause the anticipated cost of the Tenant Improvements to exceed the Tenant Improvement Allowance (unless Tenant agrees to be responsible for all such costs, and provide evidence satisfactory to Landlord of Tenant’s ability to pay such amounts, including escrow the funds if required by Landlord), (iii) if such requested modifications would not increase the value of the Tenant Improvements, (iv) if such requested modifications would increase the burden on the Building systems, either during construction or after completion of same.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall not commence work on the Tenant Improvements until Tenant has obtained
Landlord’s written approval of the Final Working Drawings.

payment) shall be drawn from the Escrow Account only with the prior and mutual written consent of Landlord and Tenant (their respective and designated agents and/or representatives), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that no payment shall be made to the Contractor from the Escrow Account unless and until the parties are in possession of all documents required under the Work Agreement for payment to the Contractor.
2.2 Basis for Withholding Payment. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 2.1, Landlord shall be entitled to withhold payment to the Contractor in the event: (i) the Landlord reasonably determines that the work does not conform to the plans and specifications; (ii) the Landlord reasonably determines that the work is defective or deficient; (iii) the Contractor does not present adequate documentation as required in the Work Agreement; (iv) a mechanic’s lien is placed against the work or the Building or Project, or a lien is threatened by any party for the Cable Installation or the Cost Overage (as defined in the Work Agreement); (v) the Landlord has obtained evidence that any party has not been timely paid, (vi) the Tenant or its Contractor fails to strictly comply with each and every requirement of “Landlord’s Construction Rules” (Exhibit F to the Lease); or (vii) the Landlord reasonably determines that the percentage completion in the applicable draw request is inaccurate. Furthermore, in the event Tenant is at any time during construction of the Tenant Improvements in material default of the Lease, Landlord shall so notify Tenant and Contractor in writing (the “Default Notice”), and Landlord may withhold future payments to Contractor from the Escrow Account.
2.3 Percentage Completion Payment/Retention. All payments to the Contractor from the Escrow Account for any Cost Overage shall be made on a percentage completion basis, and payments from the Escrow Account for the Cabling Installation shall be made once the installation is complete, and Landlord and Tenant have all documents required under this Escrow Agreement. With respect to any Cost Overage, Landlord shall reasonably confirm the percentage completion of the Tenant Improvements. All payments to the Contractor (both from the Tenant Improvement Allowance and any Cost Overage—but not the Cabling Installation) are subject to retention of fifteen percent (15%) pursuant to the Work Agreement.
2.4. Payment from Escrow Account and Tenant Improvement Allowance. The parties acknowledge that the funds to be paid to the Contractor shall be sourced from two different accounts: (i) direct payment from the Landlord of the Tenant Improvement Allowance; and (ii) payments from the Escrow (for both the Cabling Installation and the Cost Overage, if any). Payments shall be made based on each draw request on a pro-rata basis (not including the
Cabling Installation). For example purposes only (and rounding numbers) if the Tenant Improvement Allowance is $1,000,000.00, and the Escrow Account contains $200,000.00, the if the first draw request were for $100,000.00, then $20,000.00 would be paid from the Escrow Account, and $80,000.00 would be paid by Landlord upon satisfaction of all conditions in this Joint Escrow Agreement and this Work Agreement, but subject to fifteen percent (15%) reduction based on the retention contained herein and in the Work Agreement (This example would not apply to Cable Installation—which is not being paid on a percentage completion basis, but instead upon completion of all work and adequate documents pursuant to this Escrow Agreement). To the extent the construction of the Tenant Improvements costs less than the Tenant Improvement Allowance, the Landlord shall retain the benefit pursuant to the Work Agreement. To the extent the entire Tenant Improvement Allowance is used, but the amount in Escrow is not, the amount in Escrow shall be refunded to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Joint Escrow Agreement.
2.5 Retention of Replacement Contractor. In the event Tenant desires to terminate the services of the Contractor pursuant to the Construction Contract, Tenant shall be entitled to do so as long as the Contractor is in material default of the Construction Contract. Following such termination, the Escrow Amount will be distributed, if at all, from the Escrow Account to a replacement Contractor chosen by Tenant and approved by Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Lease. In the event of a dispute with the Contractor and Tenant desires to retain a replacement Contractor, Tenant shall ensure the Escrow Account contains an amount sufficient to satisfy the amount of the dispute (including increasing the Escrow Account if necessary), and an amount sufficient to pay one hundred and five percent (105%) of the bid amount from the new contractor (again including increasing the Escrow Account if necessary). During any dispute with the Contractor, Tenant will immediately bond any mechanic’s lien at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
3. Remainder of Escrow Amount. Only upon satisfaction of all conditions for final payment in the Work Agreement, Tenant may withdraw any balance remaining in the Escrow Account.
4. Escrow Holder; Escrow Instructions. Upon establishment of the Escrow Account, the parties shall submit to Escrow Holder a fully executed copy of this Escrow Agreement. This Escrow Agreement shall constitute full and complete instructions to the Escrow Holder, and this Escrow Agreement shall not be modified by except by a written agreement executed by Landlord and Tenant. Escrow Holder acknowledges by its signature below that in no event shall Escrow Holder disburse any of the Escrow Amount except in strict accordance with this Escrow Agreement or a modification or supplement of this Escrow Agreement executed by Landlord and Tenant, and only upon mutual written authorization by Landlord and Tenant to do so.
5. Arbitration. In the event of any dispute between Landlord and Tenant arising out of this Escrow Agreement, the parties agree to participate in binding arbitration as expeditiously as possible, but in no event more than forty-five (45) from written notice by one party to the other of its election to arbitrate, at the American Arbitration Association, Walnut Creek office, and in accordance with its commercial dispute rules and regulations. The arbitrator shall be chosen by AAA, and shall award attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party. California law shall apply, as supplemented by the AAA commercial dispute rules. Limited discovery may be allowed by the arbitrator.
6. Conflict. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Exhibit L and the Lease, this Exhibit L shall prevail. In the event of a conflict between this Exhibit L and the Work Agreement, the Work Agreement shall prevail.
7. Governing Law. This Escrow Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with California law.
8. Incorporation of Recitals. The Recitals are incorporated by this reference as though set forth in full.
9. Relationship of Landlord and Contractor. Nothing contained herein shall create or imply any contractual relationship between Landlord and Contractor, and specifically, Landlord is not agreeing to make any payments to the Contractor, and shall have no financial obligations or responsibilities to Contractor of any kind whatsoever. All payments to the Contractor are to be made solely by Tenant (or from the Escrow), and shall be solely the responsibility of Tenant. Contractor shall at all times remain an independent contractor. Contractor acknowledges and agrees to be bound by this Escrow Agreement.
The parties have executed this Escrow Agreement as of the date first above written.

ADDENDUM #1 TO LEASE BETWEEN BIT HOLDINGS FIFTY-SIX, INC. (“LANDLORD”) AND THE TENANT DESIGNATED IN THE LEASE TO WHICH THIS ADDENDUM IS ATTACHED
LETTER OF CREDIT = $1,000,000
1. Letter of Credit. In lieu of providing a cash Security Deposit, simultaneously with the execution of this Lease, Tenant may deliver to Landlord an irrevocable and transferable letter of credit (“Letter of Credit”) running in favor of Landlord, with the Letter of Credit securing Tenant’s obligations hereunder subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Lease. The terms of the Letter of Credit, which are subject to Landlord’s reasonable consent, shall strictly comply with the provisions of this Addendum #1. The Letter of Credit shall be issued by a bank acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion and under the supervision of the banking commission of the State of California or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. If the credit of the bank that originally issues the Letter of Credit becomes unacceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, Tenant shall at its cost substitute another Letter of Credit from a bank that is acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s sole reasonable discretion. The Letter of Credit shall be irrevocable for the period ending no less than one (1) year after the date of issuance. Tenant shall renew the Letter of Credit and maintain it for the period ending one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the calendar year in which the Term expires, and shall provide that it is automatically renewable for the Term, unless released pursuant to the provisions of this Section or unless the issuing bank delivers a notice of non-renewal no later than thirty (30) days before expiration. If Tenant fails to renew the Letter of Credit within ten (10) Business Days of its expiration, Landlord may draw on the existing Letter of Credit and maintain the funds as a non-interest-bearing deposit to be returned to Tenant on receipt by Landlord of a substitute Letter of Credit from Tenant meeting all requirements of this Addendum #1. The form and terms of the Letter of Credit shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord and shall provide, among other things, in effect that:
A. Draws. Landlord (“Beneficiary”) shall have the right to draw down an amount up to the then current face amount of the Letter of Credit after an Event of Default by Tenant under the Lease and expiration of the applicable notice and cure period on presentation to the issuing bank of Landlord’s own declaration signed or purportedly signed by or on its behalf reading as follows: (a) that the declarant is an officer (or general partner or sole proprietor in the case of a general partnership or sole proprietorship, respectively, or member in the case of a limited liability company) of the Beneficiary on behalf of the Beneficiary; (b) that the declarant has authority to make the declaration on behalf of the Beneficiary; (c) that the declaration is made pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Credit and declarant shall provide the specific Letter of Credit reference number; (d) that an Event of Default has occurred under the terms of a lease made between Beneficiary and Tenant; and (e) that the amount of the Event of Default is [Landlord to provide at time of demand]. Partial draws and multiple draws are expressly permitted, and shall be contained in the Letter of Credit.
B. No Inquiry. The Letter of Credit will be honored by the issuing bank without inquiry as to the accuracy thereof and regardless of whether Tenant disputes the content of such statement.
C. Transfer. In the event of a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the Letter of Credit to the transferee, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the Letter of Credit to a new landlord. In the event of such a transfer, the provider of the Letter of Credit must be ratified by landlord by return of a transfer agreement.
D. Restoration. If, as a result of any such application of all or any part of the Letter of Credit, the amount secured by the Letter of Credit shall be less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), Tenant shall immediately provide Landlord with cash or other immediately available funds, or an additional Letter of Credit that meets the requirements of this Section, to cover the deficiency, or restore the amount available to be drawn under the Letter of Credit to the full One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) required herein on written notice from Landlord to Tenant. In the event the Letter of Credit is less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) due to a permissible reduction pursuant to Section G of this Addendum #1, and upon any application of all or any part of the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall immediately provide Landlord with cash or other immediately available funds, or an additional Letter of Credit that meets the requirements of this Addendum #1, and restore the amount of the Security Deposit (or replacement Letter of Credit) to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00).
E. No Encumbrance. Tenant shall not assign or encumber the Letter of Credit or any part thereof and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment, or attempted encumbrance.
F. Renewal. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Letter of Credit expires earlier than as provided for herein, or the issuing bank notifies Landlord that it shall not renew the Letter of Credit, Landlord will accept a renewal thereof or substitute Letter of Credit (such renewal or substitute Letter of Credit to be in effect not later than thirty (30) days before the expiration thereof), which renewal or substitute Letter of Credit shall be irrevocable and automatically renewable, and issued by a bank meeting the requirements of this Section, for the entire period provided for in this Section, on substantially the same terms as the expiring Letter of Credit or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord. However,
(a) if the Letter of Credit is not timely renewed or a substitute Letter of Credit is not timely received, or (b) if Tenant fails to maintain the Letter of Credit in the amount and terms set forth in this Section, then, at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the Letter of Credit, or immediately on Tenant’s failure to comply with every term of this Section, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord cash security in the amounts required by, and to be held subject to the terms of this Section, failing which Landlord may present such Letter of Credit to the bank, in accordance with the terms of this Section, and the entire sum secured thereby shall be paid to Landlord as a substitute security deposit, to be held by Landlord in the manner provided for in this Addendum.
G. Reduction in Letter of Credit. On the first (1st) anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date, provided no Event of Default has occurred, Landlord shall return to Tenant Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00), of the original One Million Dollar ($1,000,000.00), original Security Deposit (or, if the Security Deposit is in the form of a Letter of Credit, to permit Tenant to supply a substitute Letter of Credit in amount equal to Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000.00). On the second (2nd) anniversary of the Lease
Commencement Date, provided no Event of Default has occurred, Landlord shall return to Tenant an additional Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) of the original One Million Dollar ($1,000,000.00), original Security Deposit (or, if the Security Deposit is in the form of a Letter of Credit, to permit Tenant to supply a substitute Letter of Credit in amount equal to Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000.00). On the third (3rd) anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date, provided no Event of Default has occurred, Landlord shall return to Tenant an additional Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) of the original One Million Dollar ($1,000,000.00), original Security Deposit (or, if the Security Deposit is in the form of a Letter of Credit, to permit Tenant to supply a substitute Letter of Credit in amount equal to Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000.00). On the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date, provided no Event of Default has occurred, Landlord shall return to Tenant an additional Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) of the original One Million Dollar ($1,000,000.00), original Security Deposit (or, if the Security Deposit is in the form of a Letter of Credit, to permit Tenant to supply a substitute Letter of Credit in amount equal to Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00). If the Letter of Credit is allowed to be reduced down to Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) pursuant to this Section G, the Letter of Credit will be maintained in the full amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) for the remainder of the Term, and subject to all of the provisions of this Addendum #1. Upon any draw of the Letter of Credit, regardless of the then required amount of the Letter of Credit, Landlord and Tenant agree that the reduction contemplated herein shall be null and void, and Tenant shall immediately restore the Letter of Credit, or provide a new Letter of Credit, or provide cash or immediately available funds in the full amount of the original Security Deposit and Letter of Credit requirement of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00).
H. Return of Security Deposit/Letter of Credit. If no default then exists, then Landlord, within twenty (20) Business Days after the end of the Term, will return the Security Deposit to Tenant, less such portion thereof as Landlord will have retained to cure any default by Tenant for any of Tenant’s obligations, conditions, or agreements under this Lease. Landlord may, at its discretion, hold the Security Deposit until a final determination is made of all Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that such determination will be made no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the calendar year in which the Term expires.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE
(Dublin Corporate Center Two: Taleo Corporation)
THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE (“Amendment”) is made as of the 12th day of September, 2011 (“Effective Date”), between DUBLIN CORPORATE CENTER TWO, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”), and TALEO CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), with reference to the following facts:
A. Landlord, as successor-in-interest to BIT Holdings Fifty-Six, Inc. and Tenant are parties to that certain Lease dated March 16, 2006 as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated as of January 2011 (collectively the “Lease”), covering certain premises in the building located at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx and being a part of the development commonly known as the Dublin Corporate Center, as more particularly described in the Lease.
B. Tenant desires to expand the premises currently covered by the Lease previously consisting of approximately 35,424 rentable square feet on the fourth floor of the Building known as Suite 400 and 12,084 rentable square feet on the first floor of the Building known as Suite 100 (collectively, the “Existing Premises”) to include certain space known as Suite 300 consisting of approximately 37,490 rentable square feet located on the third floor of the Building (“Suite 300”) and Suites 101, 110 and 120 consisting of approximately 8,964 aggregate rentable square feet located on the first floor of the Building as shown on Exhibit A hereto (collectively, the “Second Additional Premises”) and Suite 150 consisting of approximately 12,632 rentable square feet located on the first floor of the Building as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Third Additional Premises”), upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Lease and in this Amendment, and to otherwise amend the terms and conditions of the Lease as set forth in this Amendment. The parties acknowledge that (i) the Third Additional Premises are currently leased to Kronos Incorporated (“Kronos”) pursuant to a lease with Landlord dated February 5, 2001 (the “Existing Suite 150 Master Lease”) and subleased from Kronos to Tenant pursuant to a Sublease dated October 21, 2009 (the “Existing Suite 150 Sublease”) and (ii) Suite 300 is currently leased to Fluor Corporation (the “Existing Suite 300 Tenant”) pursuant to a lease with Landlord dated May 27, 2008, as amended (the “Existing Suite 300 Lease”).
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Remeasurement. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that prior to the date hereof, the Project, the Building and that portion of the Existing Premises known as Suite 400 were remeasured and as a result, the rentable square feet of each has increased. Accordingly, the Basic Lease Information is hereby amended as follows:
(a) The rentable square feet of the Project is deemed to be 440,278;
(b) The rentable square feet of the Building is deemed to be 146,267; and
(c) The rentable square feet of that portion of the Existing Premises known as Suite 400 is deemed to be 37,474.
(d) The definition of “BOMA Standards” in the Lease is hereby replaced with the following: “BOMA Standards” means the useable square footage of the space being measured as determined by Landlord’s architect pursuant to the American National Standard Method of Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings, to BOMA ANSI Z65.1 (1996), published by the Building Owners and Managers Association International, with application of an 8% load factor for single-tenant floors and an 18% load factor for multi-tenant floors to determine the rentable square feet.
2. Second and Third Additional Premises.
(a) Second Additional Premises. Effective as of the later of (i) January 1, 2012 or (ii) the date (the “Second Additional Premises Commencement Date”) that Landlord has delivered possession of all of the Second Additional Premises to Tenant in the condition required pursuant to this Amendment with all Tenant Improvements (defined below) therein Substantially Complete (defined in the attached Work Letter), and continuing until the Lease Expiration Date, the Premises covered by the Lease shall be expanded to include the Second Additional Premises. Except as otherwise provided in this Amendment, if Landlord does not make any portion of the Second Additional Premises available to Tenant on or before any particular date, for any reason whatsoever, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage thereby and this Amendment shall not be void or voidable thereby. Landlord agrees that it shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to terminate any existing lease or sublease of any portion of the Second Additional Premises and cause any existing tenant or subtenant of the Second Additional Premises to vacate and surrender possession of such space to allow commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements as contemplated by the attached Work Letter. Such commercially reasonable efforts shall include, without limitation, commencing and diligently prosecuting unlawful detainer proceedings, and, with respect to Suite 300, entering into a lease termination and relocation agreement with the Existing Suite 300 Tenant that provides for such timely termination and surrender with respect to Suite 300. If the Second Additional Premises Commencement Date has not occurred on or the Outside Date (defined below), then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Amendment by notice to Landlord given no later than
30 days following the Outside Date, such termination to be effective on the date which shall be 30 days after the date such notice is given, and thereupon neither party shall have any liability to the other under this Amendment and this Amendment will be deemed null and void; provided, however, if Landlord causes the Second Additional Premises Commencement Date to occur at any time within 30 days following the date that Tenant’s termination notice is given, such notice by Tenant and such termination shall be void and of no force and effect. As used herein, “Outside Date” means June 30, 2012, which date shall be extended by one day for each day of Tenant Delay or Unavoidable Delay; provided, however, any extension for Unavoidable Delay shall be limited to thirty (30) days. As used herein “Unavoidable Delay” means any cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control (other than financial inability), including governmental preemption in connection with a national emergency, shortages, or unavailability of labor, fuel, steam, water, electricity or materials, or delays caused by third parties outside the reasonable control of Landlord, mechanical breakdown, acts of God, enemy action, civil commotion, fire or other casualty.
(b) Third Additional Premises. Effective as of August 1, 2012 (the “Third Additional Premises Commencement Date”) and continuing until the Lease Expiration Date, the Premises covered by the Lease shall be expanded to include the Third Additional Premises.
If Landlord does not make the Third Additional Premises available to Tenant on or before any particular date, for any reason whatsoever, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage thereby and this Amendment shall not be void or voidable thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Existing Suite 150 Master Lease or the Existing Suite 150 Sublease terminates for any reason other than a default by Tenant under the Existing Suite 150 Sublease, then Landlord and Tenant agree that the Third Additional Premises Commencement Date shall be automatically advanced to occur on the date of such termination.
(c) Confirmation of Commencement. Upon the occurrence of the Second Additional Premises Commencement Date or the Third Additional Premises Commencement Date, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a notice in the form as set forth in Exhibit B, attached hereto, as a confirmation only of the information set forth therein, which Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within ten (10) business days of receipt thereof; provided, however, Tenant’s failure to execute and return any such notice to Landlord within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant that the information set forth in such notice is as specified therein.
3. Extension. Prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment, the Term of the Lease was scheduled to expire on June 30, 2013. The Term of the Lease is hereby extended for an additional period commencing as of July 1, 2013 and expiring on the date (the “Lease Expiration Date”) that is one hundred twenty (120) full calendar months following the Second Additional Premises Commencement Date. All references to the Lease Expiration Date in the Lease will hereinafter refer to the Lease Expiration Date set forth in this Amendment.
4. Condition of Premises; Tenant Improvements.
(a) Condition of Premises. Except as expressly set forth herein, Tenant shall accept the Second Additional Premises and the Third Additional Premises in their “AS-IS” condition; provided, however, the foregoing not be deemed a waiver of Tenant’s right to have defects in the Tenant Improvements repaired at no cost to Tenant as more particularly described in the Work Letter and, provided further that the foregoing is not intended and shall not be deemed as a limitation of Landlord’s on-going repair and maintenance obligations under the Lease as amended hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Lease, Landlord shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense (and the Landlord Contribution shall not be used for) all costs and expenses required to cause the Premises to comply with all Legal Requirements in effect as of the Second Additional Premises Commencement Date, including, without limitation, those triggered by the construction of the Tenant Improvements and those related to Hazardous Materials in the Premises and the common areas of the Project as of the Second Additional Premises Commencement Date; provided, however, the foregoing does not extend to any noncompliance arising from or related to any Hazardous Materials brought on or about the Premises or the Project by Tenant or any Tenant Parties (defined below).
(b) Space Planning Costs Within thirty (30) days after written request from Tenant, accompanied by invoices from the applicable vendors, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the sum of $10,000.00, which Tenant shall use to pay the design and space planning costs with respect to Tenant’s work in the Premises.
(c) Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall construct certain improvements in the Second Additional Premises, the Third Additional Premises and the Existing Premises (the
“Tenant Improvements”) in accordance with the attached Work Letter. In addition, Landlord shall deliver vacant, broom-clean possession of the Second Additional Premises with the following systems serving such premises in good working order, and as of the Third Additional Premises Commencement Date, the following systems serving such premises shall be in good working order: (i) electrical and lighting; (ii) fire protection systems; and (iii) fixtures, plumbing, roof and HVAC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Amendment, Tenant’s acceptance of the Second Additional Premises and the Third Additional Premises shall not be deemed a waiver of Tenant’s right to have defects in the foregoing repaired at no cost to Tenant as more
particularly described in the next sentence. Tenant shall notify Landlord of such defects in writing within twelve (12) months after the applicable Commencement Date for such premises, and in each case, Landlord shall promptly commence repair of all such defects upon written notice from Tenant, provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to correct defects not reported to Landlord in writing within the applicable time period set forth above; provided further that the foregoing is not intended to and shall not be deemed as a limitation of Landlord’s on-going repair and maintenance obligation under the Lease as amended hereby. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, provided the same are generally in keeping with Building standards and are consistent with Tenant’s permitted use or the interior improvements of the Existing Premises and Suite 150, Tenant shall not be required to remove the Tenant Improvements at the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease, as amended hereby.
5. Base Rent; Differential Amount. Effective as of the Second Additional Premises Commencement Date, the Base Rent payable under this Lease shall be according to Schedule 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. In addition to Base Rent and other amounts payable under the Lease as amended hereby, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as Additional Rent an amount representing the difference between (i) the Base Rent payable in respect of the Existing Premises under the Lease prior to the Second Additional Premises Commencement Date and (ii) the Base Rent Payable in respect of the Existing Premises under the Lease as amended hereby, in each case calculated for the period beginning on the Second Additional Premises Commencement Date and ending on June 30, 2013, discounted to the net present value at a discount rate of 4.15% (the “Differential Amount”). The Differential Amount shall be amortized at 4.15% over the period beginning on the Second Additional Premises Commencement Date and ending on the Expiration Date (as extended pursuant to Section 3 of this Amendment above) and payable in equal monthly installments concurrently with payments of Base Rent during such period. For purposes of clarification only, attached hereto as Schedule 2 is an example of how the Differential Amount would be calculated if the Second Additional Premises Commencement Date were January 1, 2012. When the Second Additional Premises Commencement Date is established, the parties shall confirm the actual Differential Amount in the commencement certificate to be executed pursuant to Section 2(c) of this Amendment.
6. Parking. The Basic Lease Information is hereby amended to reflect that Tenant shall be entitled to not fewer than 3.5 unreserved spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Premises, of which twenty five (25) shall be designated for the exclusive use of Tenant and its visitors.
7. Right of First Negotiation; Advice Space. Section 1.3 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety. The following shall apply from and after the Effective Date of this Amendment:
(a) Right of First Negotiation. If at any time through and including the date that is thirty six (36) months prior to the Expiration Date (as the same may be extended), Landlord intends to lease all or any portion of the third floor of the building within the Project known as 4160 Dublin Boulevard (the “4160 Building”) or all or any part of the second floor of the Building (collectively, the “Additional Space”), then, prior to entering into such a lease (excluding a lease executed pursuant to the exercise of any Additional Space Superior Rights (defined below)), Landlord shall first give written notice to Tenant offering to lease such Additional Space to Tenant on the terms and conditions of the Lease, as amended by this Amendment, other than Base Rent, which shall be the Fair Market Value of such Additional Space, as specified in such notice (an “Offer to Lease”). Tenant’s rights under this Section are subordinate to all rights as to the Additional Space currently set forth in existing leases with tenants in occupancy in the Project as of the date of this Amendment, including any renewal, extension, expansion, first offer, first negotiation and other similar rights as set forth on the attached Exhibit E (“Additional Space Superior Rights”). An Offer to Lease shall set forth the description of the applicable Additional Space, the commencement date of the proposed letting, and Landlord’s determination of the Base Rent for the Additional Space. Tenant shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of an Offer to Lease in which to accept such offer. Tenant shall accept such offer, if at all, only by irrevocable written notice to Landlord in which Tenant shall agree to lease the Additional Space from Landlord. Time is of the essence with respect to Tenant’s acceptance of an Offer to Lease. If Tenant fails to accept an Offer to Lease within such ten (10) Business Days, then Landlord shall thereafter have the right to lease such Additional Space; provided, however, if Landlord does not lease such Additional Premises within ninety (90) days after the expiration of said ten (10) business day period, any further transaction shall be deemed a new determination by Landlord to lease such Additional Space and the provisions of this paragraph shall again be applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if bona fide lease negotiations are commenced within such ninety (90) day period, such ninety (90) day period shall be extended for so long as such bona fide negotiations continue, not to exceed six (6) months after such ninety (90) day period. If Tenant timely accepts an Offer to Lease, the lease of the applicable Additional Space shall be coterminous with the Lease Term, Base Rent shall be in the amount of the Fair Market Value determined according to Section 10 of this Amendment, Tenant shall accept the Additional Space in its then “as is” condition except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Offer to Lease and otherwise the lease of Additional Space shall be upon all of the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, as amended hereby. Tenant’s right of first negotiation shall be continuous through and including the date that is thirty six (36) months prior to the Expiration Date (as the same may be extended). Tenant’s rejection of any particular Offer to Lease shall not relieve Landlord of its obligation to again offer any Additional Space to Tenant at any time that Landlord subsequently determines that it wishes to lease the Additional Space.
(b) Advice Space/Advice Notice. At any time through and including the date that is thirty six (36) months prior to the Expiration Date, Tenant shall have the right to send to Landlord a notice (“Request Notice”) advising Landlord that Tenant is interested in leasing space in the Project, setting forth the amount of space and length of time Tenant desires to lease
such additional space. Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a Request Notice, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written notice (“Landlord’s Advice Notice”) of any space in the Project that is or will be available for the applicable term specified in the Request Notice, excluding but identifying any space that is then the subject of bona fide lease negotiations between Landlord and any prospective tenant (the “Advice Space”) and without liability to Landlord for any errors or omissions. Landlord’s Advice Notice shall include Landlord’s determination of the Base Rent for the Additional Space. Subject and subordinate to all Project Superior Rights (defined below), Tenant shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of any Landlord’s Advice Notice in which to elect to lease any of the Advice Space on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section, which election shall be made only by irrevocable written notice delivered to Landlord within such ten (10) Business Day period. Time is of the essence with respect to Tenant’s election to lease any Advice Space. If Tenant timely notifies Landlord of its election to Lease any Advice Space, the lease of the applicable Advice Space shall be for the term set forth in the applicable Request Notice, Base Rent shall be in the amount of the Fair Market Value determined according to Section 10 of this Amendment, Tenant shall accept the Advice Space in its then “as is” condition except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Landlord’s Advice Notice and otherwise the lease of Advice Space shall be upon all of the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, as amended hereby. As used herein, “Project Superior Rights” means all rights of tenants in occupancy in the Project as of the date of this Amendment, including any renewal, extension, expansion, first offer, first negotiation and other similar rights, regardless of whether such rights are originally set forth in the leases of such tenants or later granted to such tenants by Landlord pursuant to a lease amendment or a new lease and including renewals or extensions offered to or negotiated with existing tenants in the Project whether or not such tenants held contractual rights to the same (all such rights are collectively referred to herein as the “Project Superior Rights”).
(c) Conditions to Tenant’s Rights. Tenant’s rights under this Section shall be effective only provided and on condition that at the time Landlord delivers and at the time Tenant accepts an Offer to Lease or, at the time Tenant delivers a Request Notice and at the time Tenant elects to lease any Advice Space, no default of Tenant under this Lease shall have occurred and be continuing beyond any applicable notice and cure period. The rights contained in this Section shall not be available to any assignee, or any sublessee or other transferee (other than a Permitted Transferee) and may be exercised only provided and on condition that such Tenant is not subleasing, other than to a Permitted Transferee, more than seventy five percent (75%) of the Premises then leased to Tenant as of the date Tenant purports to accept an Offer to Lease or elects to lease any Advice Space, as applicable.
(d) Amendment to Lease. If Tenant leases any Additional Space or Advice Space pursuant to this Section, Landlord and Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after determination of the Base Rent for such space, execute an amendment reflecting the basic terms related to adding the Additional Space or Advice Space to the Lease in accordance with the terms provided in this Section.
8. Operating Costs and Taxes.
(a) Proportionate Share. Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Real Estate Taxes shall be increased in proportion to the Gross Leasable Area following the Second Additional Premises Commencement Date and the Third Additional Premises Commencement Date.
(b) Base Year. For purposes of calculating Tenant’s share of Operating Costs and Real Estate Taxes, the “Base Year” shall be calendar year 2012.
(c) Tax Contests. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to contest increases in the assessed value of the Project for purposes of property tax assessments in excess of then-current actual market value. If Landlord fails to make such commercially reasonable efforts, Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Real Estate Taxes will exclude any increase that could have reasonably been avoided if Landlord had made such commercially reasonable efforts.
9. Extension Options. Section 2.3 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“(a) Renewal Option. Tenant shall have the right to renew the Lease Term for two (2) renewal terms of five (5) years each (each a “Renewal Term”), commencing on the day after the expiration of the initial Term or first Renewal Term, as applicable (each a “Renewal Term Commencement Date”) and ending on the day immediately preceding the fifth (5th) anniversary of the applicable Renewal Term Commencement Date, unless the applicable Renewal Term shall sooner terminate pursuant to any of the terms of this Lease. Tenant may exercise its renewal rights hereunder for all or a portion of the Premises then leased to Tenant; provided, however, if Tenant elects to renew the Lease Term with respect to only a portion of the Premises then leased to Tenant (i) the portion of the Premises subject to renewal must be not less than two full floors of the Project, (ii) the configuration of any portion of the Premises that will not be subject to such renewal shall be subject to
Landlord’s reasonable approval; and (iii) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for one-half of any re-demising costs necessary to separate the portion of the Premises subject to Tenant’s renewal from the portion of the Premises not subject to renewal.
(b) Renewal Notice. At least thirty (30) days prior to the Calculation Date (defined below), the parties shall meet and confer as set forth in subsection (d) below. A Renewal Term shall commence only if (i) Tenant notifies Landlord in writing (a “Renewal Exercise Notice”) of Tenant’s exercise of such renewal right not earlier than fifteen (15) months, and not later than twelve (12) months, prior to the then current Expiration Date, and (ii) at the time of the exercise of such right no default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period set forth in this Lease shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder. The day that is twelve (12) months prior to the then current Expiration Date is referred to herein as the (“Renewal Notice Deadline”) Time is of the essence with respect to the giving of each Renewal Exercise Notice. Each Renewal Term shall be upon all of the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, except that (a) the Rent shall be determined as provided below in this Section, and (b) if Tenant does not timely exercise the first or second renewal, Tenant shall have no further right to renew or extend the Term, or after the timely exercise of the renewals, Tenant shall have no further right to renew or extend the Term. Upon the commencement of a Renewal Term, (1) such Renewal Term shall be added to and
become part of the Term, (2) any reference to “this Lease”, to the “Lease Term”, the “term of this Lease” or any similar expression shall be deemed to include such Renewal Term, (3) the expiration of the applicable Renewal Term shall become the Expiration Date, and (4) the Base Year for the Renewal Term shall be the calendar year in which the applicable Renewal Term commences. Any termination or cancellation of the Lease, as amended hereby at any time during the Lease Term shall automatically terminate the renewal right set forth in this Section. The rights contained in this Section shall not be available to any assignee or any sublessee or other transferee (other than a Permitted Transferee) and may be exercised only provided and on condition that such Tenant is not subleasing, other than to a Permitted Transferee, more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the Premises as of the date Tenant purports to give the Renewal Exercise Notice and, at the option of Landlord, upon commencement of the Renewal Term.
(c) Renewal Term Rent. The annual Base Rent payable during any Renewal Term shall be equal to 100% of Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) of the Renewal Premises, as of the day that is six (6) months prior to commencement of the applicable Renewal Term (each a “Calculation Date”). “Fair Market Value” shall mean the fair market annual rent (including additional rent and considering any “base year” or “expense stop” applicable thereto), taking into account all escalations, at which, as of the applicable Calculation Date, tenants are leasing non-sublease, non-encumbered, non-equity, non-expansion space comparable in size, location and quality to the Renewal Premises for a term of five (5) years, in an arm’s-length transaction, which comparable space is located in the Building or in the Comparable Buildings, and which comparable transactions (collectively, the “Comparable Transactions”) have been entered into within the six (6) month period immediately preceding the Calculation Date, taking into consideration the following concessions (the “Concessions”): (a) rental abatement concessions, if any, being granted such tenants in connection with such comparable space; and (b) tenant improvements or allowances provided or to be provided for such comparable space, taking into account, and deducting the value of, the existing improvements in the Renewal Premises, such value to be based upon the age, condition, design, quality of finishes and layout of the improvements and the extent to which the same can be utilized by a tenant; (c) other reasonable monetary concessions being granted such tenants in connection with such comparable space; and (d) the fact that Landlord is or is not required to pay a real estate brokerage commission in connection with Tenant’s exercise of its right to lease the Renewal Premises during the Renewal Term, as the case may be, or in connection with the Comparable Transactions or the fact that landlords are or are not paying real estate brokerage commissions in connection with such comparable space, provided, however, that in calculating the Fair Market Value, no consideration shall be given to any period of rental abatement granted to tenants in Comparable Transactions in connection with the design, permitting and construction of tenant improvements in such comparable spaces.
(d) Parties to Confer Regarding Fair Market Rental. At least thirty (30) days prior to delivery of a Renewal Exercise Notice, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a request to confer regarding Tenant’s possible renewal of the Term of the Lease. Promptly following delivery of such request, Landlord and Tenant shall meet and confer and in good faith endeavor to mutually agree upon the Fair Market Value. If the parties are not
able to agree upon such Fair Market Value during such period and if Tenant timely delivers the Renewal Exercise Notice on or before the Renewal Notice Deadline, Landlord and Tenant shall continue to confer and in good faith endeavor to mutually agree upon the Fair Market Value of the Renewal Premises. If, for any reason, the parties are not able to agree upon such Fair Market Value on or before the date (the “Determination Deadline”) that is fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Renewal Exercise Notice, then such Fair Market Value will be determined in accordance with the provisions of subsections (e) and (f) below.
(e) Rent Notice. If the parties do not agree upon the Fair Market Value on or before the Determination Deadline, Landlord shall, by written notice to Tenant within ten (10) Business Days after the Determination Deadline advise Tenant (the “Rent Notice”) of Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Value of the Renewal Premises for the Renewal Term. If Tenant timely disputes Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Value in accordance with subsection (f) below, then the dispute shall be resolved by arbitration as provided in subsection (f) below. If the Rent payable during the Renewal Term is not determined
prior to the Renewal Term Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Rent in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value for the Renewal Premises as set forth in the Rent Notice (the “Interim Rent”). Upon final determination of the Rent for the Renewal Term, Tenant shall commence paying such Rent as so determined, and, if the Rent as so determined shall be greater than the Interim Rent, within ten (10) days after such determination Tenant shall pay any deficiency in prior payments of Rent or, if the Rent as so determined shall be less than the Interim Rent, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against the next succeeding installments of Rent in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Tenant’s overpayment.
(f) Arbitration. If Tenant wishes to dispute Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Value of the Renewal Premises for the Renewal Term, then Tenant shall give notice to Landlord of such dispute within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the Rent Notice, and such dispute thereafter shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the then prevailing Expedited Procedures of the American Arbitration Association or its successor (“AAA”) for arbitration of commercial disputes, except that the Expedited Procedures shall be modified as set forth in subsections (i) through (iv) below. Nothing herein shall be deemed a requirement for appointment of AAA arbitrators or conduct of the arbitration described herein through AAA.
(i) In its demand for arbitration, Tenant shall specify the name and address of the person to act as the arbitrator on Tenant’s behalf. The arbitrator shall be a real estate broker with at least five (5) years full-time commercial brokerage experience who is familiar with the Fair Market Value of first-class office space in the Cities of Dublin, Pleasanton and San Ramon California. Failure on the part of Tenant to make the timely and proper demand for such arbitration shall constitute a waiver of the right thereto and the Rent shall be as set forth in the Rent Notice. Within ten (10) Business Days after the service of the demand for arbitration, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant specifying the name and address of the person designated by Landlord to act as arbitrator on its behalf, which arbitrator shall be similarly qualified. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant of the appointment of its arbitrator within such ten (10) Business Day period, and
such failure continues for three (3) Business Days after Tenant delivers a second notice to Landlord, then the arbitrator appointed by Tenant shall be the arbitrator to determine the Fair Market Value for the Renewal Premises.
(ii) If two arbitrators are chosen pursuant to subsection (e)(i) above, the arbitrators so chosen shall meet within ten (10) Business Days after the second arbitrator is appointed and shall seek to reach agreement on Fair Market Value. If within twenty (20) Business Days after the second arbitrator is appointed, the two arbitrators are unable to reach agreement on Fair Market Value then the two arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator, who shall be a licensed MAI appraiser with at least five (5) years’ experience who is familiar with Fair Market Value of first-class office space in the Cities of Dublin, Pleasanton and San Ramon, California, provided that if the Appraisal Institute no longer issues MAI license designations or if no MAI appraiser has the required experience, then the third appraiser shall be an appraiser with qualifications similar to those required of the first two arbitrators. If they are unable to agree upon such appointment within five (5) Business Days after expiration of such twenty (20) Business Day period, the third arbitrator shall be selected by the parties themselves. If the parties do not agree on the third arbitrator within five (5) Business Days after expiration of the foregoing five (5) Business Day period, then either party, on behalf of both, may request appointment of such a qualified person by the then president of the commercial real estate board for the county in which the Building is located. The third arbitrator shall decide the dispute, if it has not been previously resolved, by following the procedures set forth in subsection below. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its respective arbitrator and both shall share the fees and expenses of the third arbitrator. Attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel and of witnesses for the respective parties shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling such witnesses.
(iii) Fair Market Value shall be fixed by the third arbitrator in accordance with the following procedures. Concurrently with the appointment of the third arbitrator, each of the arbitrators selected by the parties shall state, in writing, his or her determination of the Fair Market Value supported by the reasons therefor. The third arbitrator shall have the right to consult the two initial arbitrators, experts and competent authorities for factual information or evidence pertaining to a determination of Fair Market Value, but any such determination shall be made in the presence of both parties with full right on their part to cross-examine. The third arbitrator shall conduct such hearings and investigations as he or she deem appropriate and shall, within thirty (30) days after being appointed, select which of the two proposed determinations most closely approximates his or her determination of Fair Market Value. The third arbitrator shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either of the two proposed determinations. The determination he or she chooses as that most closely approximating his or her determination of the Fair Market Value shall constitute the decision of the third arbitrator and shall be final and binding upon the parties. The third arbitrator shall render the decision in writing with counterpart copies to each party. The third arbitrator shall have no power to add to or modify the
provisions of this Lease. Promptly following receipt of the third arbitrator’s decision, the parties shall enter into an amendment to this Lease evidencing the extension of the Term for the Renewal Term and confirming the Rent for the Renewal Term, but the failure of the parties to do so shall not affect the effectiveness of the third arbitrator’s determination or the extension of the Term.
(iv) In the event of a failure, refusal or inability of any arbitrator to act, his or her successor shall be appointed by him or her, but in the case of the third arbitrator, his or her successor shall be appointed in the same manner as that set forth herein with respect to the appointment of the original third arbitrator.
10. Termination of Letter of Credit. From and after the Effective Date, the requirements of Section 3.5 and Addendum No. 1 of the Lease shall be of no further force or effect and Tenant shall not be required to maintain any letter of credit as security for the Lease. The parties acknowledge that the next annual renewal date of the Letter of Credit will occur on March 16, 2012 (the “2012 Expiration Date”). Promptly following the Effective Date, Tenant shall notify the issuer of the Letter of Credit, Union Bank of California (the “Issuer”) that Tenant shall not renew the Letter of Credit beyond the 2012 Expiration Date. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, such termination of the Letter of Credit by Tenant shall not be a breach or default under the Lease. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding the fact that the Letter of Credit may remain valid, Landlord shall have no right to draw upon the Letter of Credit after the Effective Date for any reason. If any party draws on the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall be entitled to offset Rent under the Lease, as amended hereby, in an amount equal to the amount drawn on the Letter of Credit, not to exceed the total sum of $200,000. Tenant's right to offset Rent pursuant to this Section shall terminate upon the earlier of: written confirmation from Issuer that the Letter of Credit has been terminated or April 30, 2014.
11. Signage. Sections 10.2 and 10.3 of the Lease are hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
(a) Building Top Signs. Upon and following receipt by Landlord of necessary governmental approvals, Tenant shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to install and maintain two building top signs on the exterior of the Building (the “4140 Exterior Signs”) in the locations shown on Exhibit C attached hereto. If Tenant elects to lease the entire third floor of the 4160 Building in accordance with Section 8 of this Amendment, then upon and following receipt by Landlord of necessary governmental approvals, Tenant shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to install and maintain a building top sign on the exterior of the 4160 Building on the top floor of the South façade of the 4160 Building (the “4160 Exterior Sign” and collectively with the 4140 Exterior Signs, the “Exterior Signs”). The Exterior Signs shall subject to approval by the City of Dublin and compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and the provisions of the Lease as amended hereby, including (without limitation) those regarding Alterations. The size, design, color, materials, fabrication, mounting details and all other aspects of the Exterior Signs shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements, as from time to time in effect, shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval and shall be in accordance plans and specifications approved in advance by Landlord. Tenant shall remove the Exterior Signs at its sole cost and expense prior to the end of the Lease Term or, if earlier, at such time as Tenant no longer has the right to maintain the Exterior Signs pursuant to this Section
or applicable Legal Requirements. In connection with such removal Tenant shall repair any damage to the façade of the Building caused by the removal of such sign. If Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may perform such work at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall have the right to maintain the 4140 Exterior Signs only for so long as the Premises leased to Tenant include not less than two full floors of the Building and Tenant shall have the right to maintain the 4160 Exterior Sign only for so long as the Premises leased to Tenant include at least one full floor of the 4160 Building. Subject to Landlord’s consent as set forth above, Tenant shall be entitled to design its Exteriors Signs in manner such that Tenant’s name and/or logo thereon are of the maximum prominence and size permitted by applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, the foregoing shall not be deemed to entitle Tenant to relocate the Exterior Signs to any location other than the locations described in this Section 12(a) above. In furtherance of the foregoing, from time to time Tenant may notify Landlord that Tenant reasonably believes (i) a change in Legal Requirements has occurred that would allow Tenant to increase the size and prominence of its Exterior Signs or (ii) any proposed exterior signage of another tenant in the Project may be of greater size and/or prominence than Tenant’s then existing Exterior Signs. Upon receipt of such notice, Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant to seek necessary governmental approvals to allow Tenant to increase the size and prominence of Tenant’s Exterior Signage to the extent allowable by applicable Legal Requirements. Landlord agrees that Landlord shall not withhold consent to any size, design, color, material, fabrication, mounting details or other aspect of Tenant’s Exterior Sign if the same aspect is permitted as part of any other Exterior Sign in the Project.
(b) Monument Signs. Tenant shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense to maintain one panel on the top slot on each of the two existing monument signs near the entrance of the Building (the “4140 Monument Signs”). If Tenant elects to lease the entire third floor of the 4160 Building in accordance with Section 8 of this Amendment, Tenant shall be entitled to one slot on a monument sign near the 4160 Building (the “4160 Monument Sign” and collectively with the 4140 Monument Sign, the “Monument Signs”) The Monument Signs shall be subject to approval by the City of Dublin and compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements. The size, design, color, materials, fabrication, mounting details and all other aspects of the Monument Signs shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements and shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval.

Tenant shall have the right to maintain the 4140 Monument Signs for so long as the Premises leased to Tenant include not less than one full floor of the Building and Tenant shall have the right to maintain the 4160 Monument Sign for so long as the Premises leased to Tenant include not less than one full floor of the 4160 Building.
(c) Marquee Sign. If during the Term of the Lease as amended hereby, Landlord elects, in its sole and absolute discretion, to install a marquee or pole sign identifying the Project and its occupants, then Tenant shall be entitled to install and
maintain one (1) identification panel on such sign, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, nothing herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to install such a sign at any time. If Landlord does elect to install such a sign, Landlord shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s access to and use of the Premises resulting from the installation of such sign. Tenant shall be entitled to the top of panel of such sign. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of the costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in the fabrication, installation and maintenance of Tenant’s identification panel on such sign. Tenant shall have the right to maintain a panel on such sign for so long as the Premises leased to Tenant include not less than two full floors of any building in the Project.
(d) Conditions to Tenants Rights. The rights contained in this Section shall not be available to any assignee, or any sublessee or other transferee (other than to a Permitted Transferee) and may be exercised only provided and on condition that such Tenant is not subleasing (other than to a Permitted Transferee) more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises then leased to Tenant.
12. Nondisturbance. Subordination of the Lease pursuant to Section 23 of the Lease shall be conditioned upon Tenant’s receipt of a commercially reasonable nondisturbance and recognition agreement from any future Mortgagee.
13. Hazardous Materials Indemnity. Section 31.5(f) of the Lease is hereby amended by deleting the words “by Landlord, or its agents, employees or representatives” and replacing the same with the following: “by any party other than Tenant or any other Tenant Parties”.
14. Project Amenities.
(a) Café. Landlord shall facilitate opening of a café at the Project on or before the Second Additional Premises Commencement Date. Such café will be operated by a third party operator who would provide food and beverage service to individual customers at retail prices designated by such third party operator.

15. Naming Rights.
(a) Street Name. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain necessary governmental approvals to rename the street within the Project currently known as “Xxxx Center Drive” to “Taleo Corporate Way”.

Landlord agrees that if the Premises leased to Tenant expands to a minimum of sixty-six percent (66%) of the rentable square feet of the Project, then, subject to receipt of all necessary governmental approvals and any consents required under any covenants, conditions and restrictions of record that are then binding on the Project, the Project shall be renamed “Taleo Corporate Center”. Upon receipt of all such approvals and consents, Tenant shall be permitted to replace existing Project signage bearing the name “Dublin Corporate Center” with new signage reflecting the name “Taleo Corporate Center”. All such replacement signage pursuant to this Section shall be installed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense or, at Landlord’s option, Landlord may elect to install the same and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost and expense of the same upon demand. All such signage shall be subject to all applicable Legal Requirements and Landlord’s prior approval. If Tenant elects to rename the Project, then at any time when the Premises leased to Tenant is less than sixty six percent (66%) of the rentable square feet of the Project, Landlord shall have the right to rename the Project to “Dublin Corporate Center” or any other name Landlord elects in its sole and absolute discretion. In such case, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of replacing all Project name signage upon demand.

All references in the Work Letter to “the Amendment” shall mean the Amendment to which this Work Letter is attached. All references in this Work Letter to “the Lease” shall mean the Lease as defined in the Amendment to which this Work Letter is attached. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings set forth in the Lease or the Amendment, as applicable.
SECTION 1
INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
SECTION 2
TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
2.1 Landlord’s Contribution. Tenant shall be entitled to a landlord contribution toward the cost of preparing the Premises for Tenant’s use and occupancy and the construction of alterations and improvements therein in the amount of $3,408,910.00 (the “Landlord Contribution”), which shall be applied to the construction of the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the terms of this Work Letter. Provided and on condition that Tenant is not in material default beyond applicable notice and cure periods at the time of application, Tenant shall be entitled to apply any unused portion of the Landlord’s Contribution as a credit against Rent due under the Lease as amended by the Amendment. Tenant is not required to use any portion of the Landlord Contribution toward the Tenant Improvements, and may apply any portion of the Landlord Contribution toward either the Tenant Improvements or toward credit against Rent due under the Lease, at Tenant’s sole discretion. Should Landlord fail to disburse the Landlord Contribution as required herein, Tenant shall have the right to elect, by written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after such default, to offset against monetary obligations owed by Tenant under the Lease, as amended by the Amendment, in the amount that Landlord was obligated to but did not disburse. Except as otherwise provided in this Work Letter or Section 4(a) of the Amendment, in no event shall Landlord be obligated to make disbursements pursuant to this Work Letter (i) in a total amount which exceeds the Landlord’s Contribution, or (ii) if Tenant fails to pay any portion of any “Over-Allowance Amount,” as that term is defined in Section 4.2.2 of this Work Letter.
2.2 Disbursement of the Landlord’s Contribution. Except as otherwise set forth in this Work Letter or in Section 4(a) of the Amendment, the Landlord’s Contribution shall be disbursed for the following items and costs (collectively, the “Landlord’s Contribution Items”):
2.2.1 Payment of the fees of the “Architect” and the “Engineers,” as those terms are defined in Section 3.1 of this Work Letter and payment of the fees incurred by, and the cost of documents and materials supplied by, Landlord and Landlord’s consultants in connection with the preparation and review of the “Construction Drawings,” as that term is defined in Section 3.1 of this Work Letter and payment of reasonable fees of any project manager employed by Tenant to supervise and coordinate the construction of the Tenant Improvements;
2.2.2 The payment of plan check, permit and license fees relating to construction of the Tenant Improvements;
2.2.3 The cost of construction of the Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation, testing and inspection costs, hoisting and trash removal costs, and contractors’ fees and general conditions;
2.2.4 The cost of any changes in the base building when such changes are required by the Construction Drawings, such cost to include all direct architectural and/or engineering fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith;
2.2.5 The cost of any changes to the Construction Drawings or Tenant Improvements required by all applicable building codes (the “Code”);
2.2.6 Sales and use taxes; and
2.2.7 All other costs to be expended by Landlord in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements.
Notwithstanding anything in the Lease Tenant shall not be required to pay and no portion of the Landlord Contribution shall be used to pay any construction supervision fee to Landlord or Landlord’s affiliates in connection with the Tenant Improvements.
2.3 Building Standards. The specifications for Building standard components to be used in the construction of the Tenant Improvements shall be the standard of the current components in the Premises or such other standard as Landlord and Tenant may mutually designate in connection with the design and approval of the Tenant Improvements. The quality of the Tenant Improvements shall be equal to or of greater quality than the quality of such Building standards, provided that Landlord
may, at Landlord’s option, require the Tenant Improvements to comply with certain Building standards. Landlord may make changes to said specifications for Building standards from time to time provided such changes apply non-discriminatorily to all occupants of the Building and do not materially increase the obligations or decrease the rights of Tenant under the Lease, the Amendment and this Work Letter.
SECTION 3
CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS
3.1 Construction Drawings. Tenant shall retain Gensler or another architect/space planner selected by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord (the “Architect”) to prepare the “Construction Drawings,” as that term is defined in this Section 3.1 and shall retain engineering consultants (the “Engineers”) selected by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord to prepare all plans and engineering working drawings relating to the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, life safety, and sprinkler work in the Premises. The plans and drawings to be prepared by Architect and the Engineers hereunder shall be known collectively as the “Construction Drawings.” All Construction Drawings shall comply with the drawing format and specifications determined by Landlord, and shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Architect shall verify, in the field, the dimensions and conditions as shown on the relevant portions of the base building plans. Landlord’s approval of the Construction Drawings as set forth in this Section 3, shall be for its sole purpose and shall not imply Landlord’s review
of the same, or obligate Landlord to review the same, for quality, design, Code compliance or other like matters. Accordingly, notwithstanding that any Construction Drawings are reviewed by Landlord or its space planner, architect, engineers and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord’s space planner, architect, engineers, and consultants, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained in the Construction Drawings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord shall not disapprove any element of the Construction Drawings or the Final Space Plan (defined below) that is generally in keeping with Building standards and is consistent with Tenant’s permitted use or the interior improvements of the Existing Premises and Suite 150.
3.2 Final Space Plan. A space plan for the Tenant Improvements shall be prepared in accordance with the steps and deadlines set forth on Schedule 1 to this Work Letter. The final space plan as approved in accordance with such Schedule (the “Final Space Plan”) shall include a layout and designation of all offices, rooms and other partitioning, their intended use, and equipment to be contained therein.
3.3 Final Working Drawings. After the Final Space Plan has been approved, working drawings for the Tenant Improvements shall be prepared by the Architect and the Engineers and approved in accordance with Schedule 1 to this Work Letter. Tenant shall supply the Engineers with a complete listing of standard and non-standard equipment and specifications, including, without limitation, B.T.U. calculations, electrical requirements and special electrical receptacle requirements for the Premises, to enable the Engineers and the Architect to complete the “Final Working Drawings” (as that term is defined below) in the manner as set forth below. The Architect and the Engineers shall complete the architectural and engineering drawings for the Premises, and Architect shall compile a fully coordinated set of architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing working drawings in a form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work and to obtain all applicable permits (collectively, the “Final Working Drawings”), which shall be approved as provided in such Schedule. Tenant shall supply Landlord with four (4) copies signed by Tenant of such Final Working Drawings. In addition, promptly after the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall cause the Architect to prepare and deliver to Landlord and Tenant “as built” plans and specifications (including all working drawings) for the Tenant Improvements.
3.4 Approved Working Drawings. The Final Working Drawings as approved in accordance with Schedule 1 to this Work Letter are referred to herein as the “Approved Working Drawings.” No changes, modifications or alterations in the Approved Working Drawings may be made without the prior written consent of Landlord and Tenant, which consent may not be unreasonably conditioned or denied. Any such changes or modifications to the Approved Working Drawings must be accomplished by means of a written change order signed by both Landlord and Tenant (a “Change Order”) and containing (i) the estimated increase, if any (after taking into account ant cost savings attributable to such change and previous changes) in the cost of the Tenant Improvements resulting from such change and (ii) the estimated amount, if any, of any Tenant Delay resulting from such change. The estimated increase in cost and/or estimated amount of Tenant Delay shall be determined by Landlord in good faith after consultation with the Contractor regarding the proposed changes.
3.5 Time Deadlines. Landlord and Tenant shall each use its best, good faith, efforts and all due diligence to cooperate with the Architect, the Engineers, and Landlord to complete, in accordance with Schedule 1 to this Work Letter, all phases of the Construction Drawings and the permitting process and to receive the permits, and with Landlord and Contractor for approval
of the “Cost Proposal,” as that term is defined in Section 4.1 of this Work Letter, and, in that regard, shall meet with Landlord on a regularly scheduled basis to be mutually agreed by Landlord and Tenant, to discuss Tenant’s progress in connection with the same. The applicable dates for approval of items, plans and drawings as described in this Section 3, Section 4, below, and otherwise in this Work Letter are set forth and further elaborated upon in Schedule 1 (the “Time Deadlines”), attached hereto. Tenant agrees to comply with the Time Deadlines. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Amendment, the Time Deadlines shall only apply the construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Second Additional Premises. Construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Third Additional Premises and the Existing Premises is intended to occur following Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements in the Second Additional Premises, and, the schedule and prosecution of the construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Existing Premises and the Third Additional Premises shall be reasonably determined by Landlord and Tenant taking into consideration the need to perform such construction in a manner that minimizes interference with Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises and the need for Tenant to relocate its employees to accommodate such construction.
SECTION 4
CONSTRUCTION OF THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
4.1 Cost Proposal. After the Approved Working Drawings are signed by Landlord and Tenant, the same shall be submitted to a general contractor selected by Tenant from a list of contractors preapproved by Landlord (who shall be the “Contractor”). The Contractor shall be instructed to obtain bids from at least two subcontractors for each trade, in accordance with Schedule 1 to this Work Letter. Costs of the Tenant Improvements shall be on an “open book” basis and Contractor shall provide Landlord and Tenant with a cost proposal on the basis of the bids selected, which cost proposal shall include, as nearly as possible, the cost of all items to be incurred in connection with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements (the “Cost Proposal”). Tenant shall approve and deliver the Cost Proposal to Landlord in accordance with Schedule 1, and upon receipt of the same by Landlord, Landlord shall be released by Tenant to commence construction. The date by which Tenant must approve and deliver the Cost Proposal to Landlord shall be known hereafter as the “Cost Proposal Delivery Date”. If requested by Tenant, the Contractor shall prepare separate Cost Proposals for the Tenant Improvements in the Third Additional Premises and the Existing Premises.
4.2 Construction of Tenant Improvements by Contractor under the Supervision of Landlord.
4.2.1 Intentionally Omitted.
4.2.2 Over-Allowance Amount. Tenant shall be obligated to pay an amount (the “Over-Allowance Amount”) equal to the difference between (i) the amount of the applicable Cost Proposal, less (ii) the amount of the Landlord’s Contribution. The Over-Allowance Amount shall be disbursed subsequent to the disbursement of any portion of Landlord’s Contribution. In the event that, after the Cost Proposal Delivery Date, any revisions, changes, or substitutions shall be made to the Construction Drawings or the Tenant Improvements, any additional costs which arise in connection with such revisions, changes or substitutions or any other additional costs shall be treated as an addition to the Over-Allowance Amount. Any changes after Tenant’s payment is received that may result in a savings shall be identified and a credit issued to Tenant.
4.2.3 Landlord’s Retention of Contractor. Landlord shall independently retain Contractor to construct the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings and the Cost Proposal and Landlord shall supervise the construction by Contractor. Landlord shall be responsible for review of all payment applications, lien reviews and lien releases through completion, and Landlord shall cause a notice of completion to be filed. Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of all applications for payments, change orders, lien releases and payment authorizations received or obtained by Landlord relating to the Tenant Improvements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, Tenant shall not be required to pay any construction supervision fee to Landlord or Landlord’s affiliates in connection with the Tenant Improvements.
SECTION 5
SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION; TENANT DELAY;
PUNCHLIST; WARRANTY

5.2.5 Tenant’s use of specialized or unusual improvements and/or delays in obtaining Permits due thereto;
5.2.6 Any failure by Tenant to timely pay to Landlord any portion of the Over-Allowance Amount; or
5.2.7 Any other acts or omissions of Tenant, or its agents, or employees that continue for more than twenty-four (24) hours after Tenant’s receipt of notice from Landlord of such delay;

Within five (5) Business Days after Substantial Completion of each phase of the Tenant Improvements, representatives of Landlord, Tenant and Contractor shall inspect the Premises and agree upon a list of Punch List Items. Landlord shall cause Contractor to complete all Punch List Items within thirty (30) days after designation thereof or if such work cannot reasonably be completed within thirty (30) days, as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible provided Contractor commences repair within such thirty (30) day period and diligently pursues completion of the same.

Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, repair any defects in the Tenant Improvements (other than those caused by or resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of a Tenant Party) for a period of one year following Substantial Completion of each phase of the same.
5.5 Assignment of Warranties and Guaranties. Landlord hereby assigns, on a non-exclusive basis, to Tenant all warranties and guaranties by Contractor and other third party contractors, subcontractors and vendors relating to the Tenant Improvements from and after the date that is one year after Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements (the "Warranty Expiration"). After the date of the Warranty Expiration, Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord relating to, or arising out of the construction of the Tenant Improvements; provided, however, the foregoing is not intended to and shall not be deemed as a limitation of Landlord's on-going repair and maintenance obligations under the Lease as amended by the Amendment.
SECTION 6
MISCELLANEOUS
6.1 Tenant’s Entry Into the Premises Prior to Substantial Completion. Provided that Tenant and its agents do not interfere with construction of the Tenant Improvements, Contractor shall allow Tenant access to the Premises prior to the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements for the purpose of Tenant installing over-standard equipment or fixtures (including Tenant’s data and telephone equipment) in the Premises and otherwise preparing such Premises for occupancy. Prior to Tenant’s entry into the Premises as permitted by the terms of this Section 6.1, Tenant shall submit a schedule to Landlord and Contractor, for their approval, which schedule shall detail the timing and purpose of Tenant’s entry.

THIS THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE (“Amendment”) is made as of the 12th day of September, 2011 (“Effective Date”), between DUBLIN CORPORATE CENTER TWO, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”), and TALEO CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), with reference to the following facts:
A. Landlord, as successor-in-interest to BIT Holdings Fifty-Six, Inc. and Tenant are parties to that certain Lease dated March 16, 2006 as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated as of January 2011 and that certain Second Amendment to Lease (the “Second Amendment”) dated as of the Effective Date of this Amendment (collectively the “Lease”), covering certain premises in the building located at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx and being a part of the development commonly known as the Dublin Corporate Center, as more particularly described in the Lease.
B. Tenant has requested that Landlord make certain space located on the first floor of the Building as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Temporary Premises”) available for Tenant's use on a temporary basis. In consideration of Tenant's execution and delivery of the Second Amendment to Lease concurrently herewith, Landlord has agreed to allow Tenant to use the Temporary Premises upon the terms and conditions of this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Temporary Premises. Effective as of the Effective Date and continuing thereafter until the Second Additional Premises Commencement Date (as defined in the Second Amendment), the Premises covered by the Lease shall be expanded to include the Temporary Premises; provided, however, (a) notwithstanding such addition of the Temporary Premises, Tenant shall not be required to pay any Base Rent, Operating Costs, Real Estate Taxes, insurance costs or utility charges with respect to the Temporary Premises and there shall be no increase in Base Rent or any other charges under the Lease determined with reference to the square footage of the Premises; and (b) Tenant may terminate the Lease with respect to the Temporary Premises at any time by giving not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that the Temporary Premises may not be separately demised from the remainder of the first floor, however, other than ordinary ingress and egress to and from the entrance to the first floor, Tenant shall not be entitled to use or store any personal items in the remainder of the floor (except as provided in the Second Amendment). In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Amendment or the Lease, Tenant shall not be required to perform or pay for any repair, maintenance, replacements, code upgrades or any other improvements or alterations with respect to the Temporary Premises during the term of this Amendment.
2. Condition of Temporary Premises. Tenant shall accept the Temporary Premises in their “AS-IS” condition. Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to prepare the Temporary Premises for use by Tenant or pay or reimburse Tenant for any costs or expenses incurred in connection with readying the Temporary Premises for Tenant's use. Tenant shall be
entitled to surrender the Temporary Premises in the condition received, ordinary wear and tear, casualties, condemnation and repairs that are not Tenant’s responsibility excepted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the Temporary Premises are part of the “Second Additional Premises” identified in the Second Amendment, and, accordingly, Tenant shall not be required to surrender possession of the Temporary Premises upon the Second Additional Premises Commencement Date.
3. Status of Lease.
(a) Tenant hereby certifies as follows to Tenant’s current actual knowledge, without inquiry or investigation:
(i) | That the Lease is in full force and effect and has not been assigned or encumbered by Tenant in any manner; |
(ii) | That the Lease represents the entire agreement between the parties as to the leasing of the Premises; |
(iii) | That there are no current defenses or counterclaims to the enforcement of the Lease; |
(iv) | That Tenant is not entitled to any current offset, abatement or reduction of rent under the Lease except as otherwise provided in the Lease or this Amendment; |
(v) | Except as provided in the Second Amendment, that Landlord has completed all tenant improvements to be performed by Landlord to the date hereof and paid all contributions and other sums with respect to such tenant improvements due to Tenant to the date hereof under the Lease; and |
(vi) | Neither Landlord nor Tenant is in default under any of its obligations under the Lease. |
(b) Landlord hereby certifies that to Landlord’s knowledge (i) the Lease is in full force and effect and has not been assigned or encumbered by Landlord in any manner and (ii) neither Landlord nor Tenant is in default under any of its obligations under the Lease.

5. Force and Effect. Except as modified by this Amendment, the terms and provisions of the Lease are hereby ratified and confirmed and are and shall remain in full force
and effect. Should any inconsistency arise between this Amendment and the Lease as to the specific matters which are the subject of this Amendment, the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall control. This Amendment shall be construed to be a part of the Lease and shall be deemed incorporated in the Lease by this reference. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Lease.
6. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument when each party has signed one such counterpart.

The Temporary Premises are in the approximate location identified as Conference Rooms 141A, 141B and 141C as shown on the attached floor plan.
FOURTH AMENDMENT TO LEASE
(Dublin Corporate Center Two: Taleo Corporation)
THIS FOURTH AMENDMENT TO LEASE (“Amendment”) is made as of the 3rd day of April, 2012 (“Effective Date”), between DUBLIN CORPORATE CENTER TWO, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”), and TALEO CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), with reference to the following facts:
RECITALS
A. Landlord, as successor-in-interest to BIT Holdings Fifty-Six, Inc. and Tenant are parties to that certain Lease dated March 16, 2006 as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated as of January 2011, as further amended by that certain Second Amendment to Lease dated as of September 12, 2011 (the “Second Amendment”) and as further amended by that certain Third Amendment to Lease dated as of September 12, 2011 (the “Third Amendment”) (collectively the “Lease”), covering certain premises in the building located at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx and being a part of the development commonly known as the Dublin Corporate Center, as more particularly described in the Lease. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Lease.
B. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the parties agreed to expand the premises leased to Tenant to add the Second Additional Premises (defined in the Second Amendment), consisting of Suite 300 (defined in the Second Amendment) and Suites 101, 110 and 120 of the Building (as described in the Second Amendment) and to add the Third Additional Premises (defined in the Second Amendment) consisting of Suite 150 of the Building.
C. At Tenant’s request, Landlord has pursued construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Second Additional Premises in phases, commencing with construction of the Tenant Improvements in Suite 300 prior to commencement of construction of the remainder of the Tenant Improvements. Construction of the Tenant Improvements in Suite 300 was Substantially Completed on or before March 1, 2012. Tenant accepted possession of Suite 300 on or before March 1, 2012 and commenced beneficial use and occupancy thereof on such date.
D. Tenant has elected to postpone construction of the remainder of the Tenant Improvements, including the Tenant Improvements in the remainder of the Second Additional Premises. But for the Tenant’s election to postpone and resulting Tenant Delay, the Tenant Improvements in the remainder of the Second Additional Premises are reasonably expected to have been Substantially Completed on or before June 1, 2012. Accordingly, the parties now desire to amend the Lease to reflect the agreed upon adjustments to certain terms and conditions of the Second Amendment as they relate to the Second Additional Premises Commencement Date and construction of the remainder of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Recitals. The foregoing Recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated into this Amendment.
2. Second and Third Additional Premises. Section 2 of the Second Amendment is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
(a) Suite 300 Commencement. Effective as of March 1, 2012, and continuing until the Lease Expiration Date, the Premises covered by the Lease shall be expanded to include Suite 300.
(b) First Floor Commencement. Effective as of June 1, 2012 (the “First Floor Commencement Date”), and continuing until the Lease Expiration Date, the Premises covered by the Lease shall be expanded to include Suites 101, 110 and 120.
(c) Third Additional Premises. Effective as of August 1, 2012 (the “Third Additional Premises Commencement Date”) and continuing until the Lease Expiration Date, the Premises covered by the Lease shall be expanded to include the Third Additional Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Existing Suite 150 Master Lease or the Existing Suite 150 Sublease terminates prior to August 1, 2012 for any reason other than a default by Tenant under the Existing Suite 150 Sublease, then Lanlord and Tenant agree that the Third Additional Premises Commencement Date shall be automatically advanced to occur on such date of such termination.
If Landlord does not make the Third Additional Premises, and/or Suites 101, 110 and 120 available to Tenant on or before any particular date, for any reason whatsoever, or if Landlord fails to commence or complete construction contemplated by the Lease by any particular date or at all, Landlord shall not be liable for any resulting consequential damages, this Amendment shall not be void or voidable thereby, Tenant’s obligation to commence paying rent (without deductions, offsets or counterclaims except for any applicable abatement of rent in Schedule 1 hereto) shall not be affected thereby and shall commence as of March 1, 2012 (for Suite 300), as of the First Floor Commencement Date (for Suites 101, 110 and 120) and as of the Third Additional Premises Commencement Date (for Suite 150). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, including the Work Letter attached to the Second Amendment. Landlord’s obligations to commence and complete construction and improvements in the Premises are covenants and obligations that are independent of Tenant’s obligations to pay rent as of the applicable commencement dates for the various spaces set forth above (but subject to any applicable rent abatement set forth only in Schedule 1 hereto).
3. Base Rent: Differential Amount: Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 attached to the Second Amendment are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 attached hereto.
4. Section 5 of the Second Amendment is hereby deleted it its entirety and replaced with the following:
“Base Rent: Differential Amount. Effective as of the date hereof, the Base Rent payable under this Lease shall be according to Schedule 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. In addition to Base Rent and other amounts payable under the Lease as amended hereby, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as Additional Rent an amount representing the difference between (i) the Base Rent payable in respect of the Existing Premises under the Lease prior to the First Floor Commencement Date and (ii) the Base Rent Payable in respect of the Existing Premises under the Lease as amended hereby. In each case calculated for the period beginning on the First Floor Commencements Date and ending on June 30, 2013, discounted to the net present value at a discount rate of 4.15% (the “Differential Amount”). The Differential Amount shall be amortized at 4.15% over the period beginning on the First Floor Commencement Date and ending on the Expiration Date (as extended pursuant to Section 3 of this Amendment above) and payable in equal monthly installments concurrently with payments of Base Rent during such period. Attached hereto as Schedule 2 is the calculation of the Differential Amount.
5. Second Additional Premises Commencement Date. The Second Amendment is hereby amended such that all remaining references to “Second Additional Premises Commencement Date” in the Second Amendment shall be deemed to refer to the Suite 300 Commencement Date with respect to Suite 300 and to the First Floor Commencement Date with respect to Suites 101, 110 and 120.
6. Extension. Section 3 of the Second Amendment is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“Extension. Prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment, the Term of the Lease was scheduled to expire on June 30, 2013. The Term of the Lease is hereby extended for an additional period commencing as of July 1, 2013 and expiring on May 31, 2022 (the “Lease Expiration Date”).
7. Operating Costs and Taxes. Section 8(a) of the Second Amendment is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“(a) Proportionate Share. Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Real Estate Taxes shall be increased in proportion to the Gross Leasable Area following the Suite 300 Commencement Date, the First Floor Commencement Date and the Third Additional Premises Commencement Date, as applicable.”
8. Construction of Remaining Tls. The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) Tenant delivered a draft Space Plan for the remaining Tenant Improvements in the first (1st) and fourth (4th) floors of the Premises to Landlord on December 15, 2011, (ii) thereafter the parties had various communications regarding such draft Space Plan, (iii) Landlord delivered its final comments to such draft Space Plan to Tenant on January 26, 2012, and (iv) thereafter. Tenant elected to postpone construction of the remaining Tenant Improvements and to date. Tenant has not submitted its proposed Final Space Plan for such Tenant Improvements. Accordingly, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have no obligation to commence construction of or construct any further Tenant Improvements in any portion of the Premises unless and until Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of its intention to resume planning and preparing for commencement of construction and performs the obligations and delivers to Landlord the documents and things required of Tenant under the Lease as amended including the Work Letter attached to the Second Amendment. If Tenant so notifies Landlord and performs its obligations, then Landlord shall promptly resume planning and preparing for commencement of construction of the remaining Tenant Improvements generally according to the terms and conditions of the Work Letter attached as Exhibit D to the Second Amendment; provided,
however, the Time Deadlines for such remaining Tenant Improvements shall be those attached hereto as “Schedule 1 to Exhibit D”. Schedule 1 to Exhibit D of the Second Amendment is hereby deleted and replaced with the attached Schedule 1 to Exhibit D.

(i) | That the Lease is in full force and effect and has not been assigned or encumbered by Tenant in any manner; |
(ii) | That the Lease represents the entire agreement between the parties as to the leasing of the Premises; |

10. Brokers. Each of Landlord and Tenant represents that no brokers negotiated this Amendment or are entitled to any commission in connection herewith. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall indemnify and hold the other harmless from any cost, expense or liability (including costs of suit and reasonable atorneys’ fees) for any compensation, commission or fees claimed by any real estate broker or agent in connection with this Amendment or its negotiation by reason of any act of the indemnifying party.
11. Force and Effect. Except as modified by this Amendment, the terms and provisions of the Lease are hereby ratified and confirmed and are and shall remain in full force and effect.
