Based upon such re-measurement Landlord has been advised that the accurate Usable Area of the Premises is approximately 80,241 square feet. Based on Landlord’s deemed load factor as indicated hereinbelow, the corrected rentable area (“Rentable Area”) of the Premises is hereby agreed to be approximately 88,926 square feet.
5.Option to Extend Term. The Option set forth in Article 23 of the Original Lease and amended in Section 9.1 of the First Amendment, Section 11.1 of the Third Amendment and Section 9.1 of the Sixth Amendment, shall remain in full force and effect.

9.Confidentiality. Landlord and Xxxxxx agrees that, except for matters of record or as required by applicable law, the covenants and provisions of this Eighth Amendment shall not be divulged to anyone not directly involved in the management, administration, ownership, lending against, or subleasing of the Premises, other than Tenant’s or Landlord's counsel-of-record or leasing or sub-leasing broker of record.

11.Reaffirmation.

Furthermore, except as modified in this Eighth Amendment, all other covenants and provisions of the Lease including but not limited to Section 20.2 of the Original Lease, shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect, and all rights and remedies of Landlord and Tenant are hereby reserved.
12.Civil Code Section 1938 Disclosure. Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1938, Landlord hereby discloses that the Premises have not undergone an inspection by a Certified Access Specialist to determine whether the Premises meet all applicable construction-related accessibility standards. A Certified Access Specialist (“CASp”) can inspect the Premises and determine whether the Premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under California law. Although California law does not require a CASp inspection of the Premises, Landlord may not prohibit the Tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the Premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of Tenant, if requested by Tenant. Landlord and Xxxxxx shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the Premises.
13.Submission of Document. The submission of this Eighth Amendment to Tenant shall be for examination purposes only, and does not constitute a reservation of or an option for Tenant to lease, or otherwise create any interest by Tenant in the Premises or any other offices or space situated in the Building. Regardless of whether or not (a) Landlord has delivered to Tenant an unexecuted draft or final version of this Eighth Amendment for Tenant’s review and/or signature, (b) this Eighth Amendment has been executed by Xxxxxx only and delivered to Landlord for its review and signature, and/or (c) Tenant has made payments of rent and/or security deposit to Landlord pursuant to this Eighth Amendment, it is understood and agreed that no contractual or other rights shall exist between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Premises, nor shall this Eighth Amendment be valid, binding on the parties and/or in effect unless and until this Eighth Amendment has been fully executed by Landlord and Tenant and such fully-executed Eighth Amendment has been delivered to Tenant.
14.Digital Counterparts. This Eighth Amendment may be executed in several counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. The parties agree that a digital image of this Eighth Amendment as fully-executed (such as in a portable document format (.pdf)) or DocuSign when sent to the email address of Tenant, its broker (if any), its attorney (if any), or its authorized agent (if any) shall be deemed delivery of a true and correct original of this Eighth Amendment, and such digital image of this Eighth Amendment shall be admissible as best evidence for the purposes of state law, Federal Rule of Evidence 1002, and the like statutes and regulations.
