4.3 Condition of Premises. The parties agree and acknowledge that Tenant was the owner of the Premises immediately prior to the Commencement Date and, upon the Commencement Date, Landlord has acquired the Premises from Tenant. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that, except as may be expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, Landlord has not made any representation or warranty with respect to the fitness or condition of the Property, that Tenant is familiar with the Premises, and that Tenant is leasing the Premises pursuant to this Lease on an entirely “as is”, “where is” and “with all faults” basis, and that Landlord shall have no obligation to make any Tenant Improvements with respect to the Premises pursuant to this Lease.
ARTICLE 5 - RENT
5.1 Monthly Base Rent. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, the Monthly Base Rent as designated in the Summary. Monthly Base Rent and recurring monthly charges of Additional Rent (defined below) shall be paid by Tenant in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month (“Due Date”) during the Term.

Tenant agrees that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost Landlord will incur by reason of Tenant’s late payment. Accepting any late charge shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of Tenant’s Default with respect to any overdue amount nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies available to Landlord. If any installment of Monthly Base Rent or Additional Rent, or any other amount payable by Tenant hereunder is not received by Landlord within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s receipt of written notice from Landlord that such amount is due, it shall bear interest at the Interest Rate set forth in the Summary from the Due Date until paid.

7.1 Operating Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall pay for all Operating Expenses associated with the operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the Premises.
7.2 Utilities and Services. Utilities and services to the Premises are described in the Summary.
7.3 Taxes. As used in this Lease, the term “Taxes” means: All real property taxes and assessments, possessory interest taxes, sales taxes, personal property taxes, business or license taxes or fees, gross receipts taxes, license or use fees, excises, transit charges, and other impositions of any kind (including fees “in-lieu” or in substitution of any such tax or assessment) which are now or hereafter assessed, levied, charged or imposed by any public authority upon the Premises or any portion thereof, its operations or the Rent derived therefrom (or any portion or component thereof, or the ownership, operation, or transfer thereof). Taxes shall not include inheritance or estate taxes imposed upon or assessed against the interest of Landlord, gift taxes, excess profit taxes, franchise taxes, or similar taxes on Landlord’s business or any other taxes computed upon the basis of the net income of Landlord. If it shall not be lawful for Tenant to reimburse Landlord for any such Taxes, the Monthly Base Rent payable to Landlord under this Lease shall be revised to net Landlord the same net rent after imposition of any such Taxes by Landlord as would have been payable to Landlord prior to the payment of any such Taxes. Tenant shall pay for Taxes as provided in the Summary. Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against personal property, furniture and fixtures. Tenant may contest the amount or validity of any Taxes by appropriate proceedings; provided that Tenant gives Landlord reasonable prior notice of any such contest and otherwise keeps Landlord apprised of such proceedings, and provided further that Tenant shall continue to pay for its share of Taxes as
8
provided in the Summary unless such proceeding shall operate to prevent or stay such payment and the collection of Taxes contested. Landlord shall join in any such proceedings if required by applicable Laws. If Tenant so elects, Tenant may pay its share of Taxes to the Landlord in equal monthly installments concurrently with Tenant’s payment of the Monthly Base Rent. Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice of its election to pay its share of Taxes in monthly installments, and upon receipt of such notice (and thereafter prior to the commencement of each calendar year during the Term, Landlord shall give Tenant a written estimate of Tenant’s share of Taxes for the ensuing calendar year. Tenant shall pay 1/12 of such estimate each month together with its payment of the Monthly Base Rent. If Landlord has not furnished its written estimate by the time set forth above, Tenant shall pay monthly installments of its share of Taxes at the rates established for the prior calendar year, if any; provided, however, that when the new estimate is delivered to Tenant, Tenant shall at the next monthly payment date pay Landlord any accrued deficiency based on the new estimate, or Landlord shall credit any accrued overpayment based on such estimate toward Tenant’s next installment payment(s) of its share of Taxes. Within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a statement showing in detail the actual Taxes incurred for the period in question. If Tenant’s payments for that calendar year are less than its share of Taxes, as shown by the applicable statement, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within thirty (30) days thereafter. If Tenant shall have overpaid Landlord, Landlord shall credit such overpayment toward Tenant’s future payments of Taxes. When the final determination is made of Taxes for the calendar year in which this Lease expires or terminates, Tenant shall, even if this Lease has expired or terminated, pay to Landlord upon notice the excess its share of Taxes over the estimate of its share of Taxes paid. Conversely, any overpayment shall be rebated by Landlord to Tenant. Landlord shall keep or cause to be kept separate and complete books of accounting covering all Taxes and showing the method of calculating Tenant’s share of Taxes and shall preserve for at least three (3) years after the close of each calendar year all material documents evidencing such Taxes for that calendar year. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right, during reasonable business hours and not more frequently than once during any calendar year, either itself or through its accountants or other employees or consultants, to examine and/or audit the books and documents mentioned above evidencing such costs and expenses for previous calendar year. If such audit should disclose that Tenant has been overcharged by Landlord for its share of Taxes for any year, Tenant shall be credited for such overpayment or if the Lease has expired, Landlord shall promptly refund such amount to Tenant. If the amount of any such overcharge exceeds two percent (2%) of Tenant’s share of Taxes for that year, Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs of such audit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord’s right to reconcile Taxes (and require back payment from Tenant) is limited to the two (2) year period immediately preceding the reconciliation date, and Tenant’s right to examine and/or audit Landlord’s books and documents relating to Taxes is limited to the two (2) year period immediately preceding the audit/examination date.
7.4 Insurance Costs. As used in this Lease, “Insurance Costs” means the cost of insurance obtained by Landlord pursuant to Article 14 (including self-insured amounts and deductibles, if any). Tenant shall pay for Insurance Costs as provided in the Summary.
7.5 Interruption of Utilities. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of any applicable existing or future Law, ordinance or governmental regulation permitting the termination of this Lease due to an interruption, failure or inability to provide any services. If
9
there is any disruption of utility service to the Premises, Landlord shall endeavor to restore such utility service as promptly as possible. If such disruption is the result of any negligent act or negligent omission of Landlord, then the Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated during such continued period of disruption in proportion to the interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises due to such disruption.
ARTICLE 8 - MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
8.1 Landlord’s Repair/Replacement Obligations. Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, shall repair, maintain and replace when necessary, all structural portions of the Building, excluding the Building floor and floor slab but including, without limitation, the foundation, , structural load bearing walls and roof structure; provided, however, to the extent such maintenance, repairs or replacements (excluding those caused by a casualty loss) are required as a result of any act, neglect, fault or omission of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the costs of such maintenance, repairs and replacements. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Landlord shall have no obligation to alter, remodel, improve, repair, renovate, redecorate or paint all or any part of the Premises.

Such maintenance and repairs shall be performed with due diligence, lien free and in a first class and workmanlike manner, by licensed contractor(s) that are selected by Tenant. All other repair and maintenance of the Premises to be performed by Tenant, if any, shall be as provided in the Summary. If Tenant refuses or neglects to repair and maintain the Premises properly as required hereunder, and should Tenant fail to complete such repair/maintenance within twenty (20) days following written demand from Landlord to effect such repairs/maintenance, and should failure continue beyond ten (10) days following a second written demand given by Landlord following the expiration of the twenty (20) days, Landlord may enter upon the Premises and make such repairs and/or maintenance, and upon completion thereof, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, Landlord’s reasonable costs for making such repairs, within ten (10) days after receipt from Landlord of a written itemized xxxx therefor.

Landlord agrees to reimburse Tenant within thirty (30) days following receipt from Tenant of a written statement of all reasonable and actual costs incurred by Tenant in performing such obligations on behalf of Landlord.

In addition, Tenant shall not make any Alterations which will violate or require a change in any occupancy certificate applicable to the Premises.
(b) Tenant shall not make any Alterations not prohibited by Section 13.1(a), unless Tenant first obtains Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, provided Landlord’s prior approval shall not be required for any Alterations that is not prohibited by Section 13.1(a) above and is of a cosmetic nature that satisfies all of the following conditions (hereinafter a “Pre-Approved Alteration”): (i) the costs of such Alterations do not exceed Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) in the aggregate in any calendar year; (ii) to the extent reasonably required by Landlord or by law due to the nature of the work being performed, Tenant delivers to Landlord final plans, specifications, working drawings, permits and approvals for such Alterations at least ten (10) days prior to commencement of the work thereof; (iii) Tenant and such Alterations otherwise satisfy all other conditions set forth in this Section 13.1; and (iv) the making of such Alterations will not otherwise cause a Default by Tenant under any provision of this Lease.

Landlord’s approval of any plans, contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) of Tenant shall not release Tenant or any such contractor(s) and/or subcontractor(s) from any liability with respect to such Alterations and will create no liability or responsibility on Landlord’s part concerning the completeness of such Alterations or their design sufficiency or compliance with Laws.

If Landlord requires Tenant to remove any such Alterations, Tenant shall, at its sole cost, remove the identified items on or before the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease and repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal to its original condition (or, at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all of Landlord’s costs of such removal and repair).

Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord, as soon as practicable after the placing of the required insurance, but in no event later than the date Tenant is required to obtain such insurance as set forth in Section 14.1 above, certificates from the insurance company evidencing the existence of such insurance and Tenant’s compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Article 14.

At Landlord’s option, all such insurance may be carried under any blanket or umbrella policies that Landlord has in force for other buildings and projects.

In the event the Building is damaged to an extent exceeding ten percent (10%) of the full replacement cost of thereof, and Landlord elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, Tenant may vitiate any such termination notice by notifying Landlord, in writing, prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period provided for in clause (ii) of the proceeding sentence, that Tenant will contribute to the cost of repair, reconstruction and restoration of the Building to the extent that such cost exceeds ten percent (10%) of the full replacement cost of the Building.

19
Tenant’s furniture and other personal property, whether or not this Lease is terminated as permitted in Section 17.1, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all rights to receive such insurance proceeds.
17.3 Abatement of Rent. If as a result of any such damage, repair, reconstruction and/or restoration of the Building, Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, then Rent shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, during the period that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using and does not use the Premises or portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable square feet of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if the damage is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties, there shall be no abatement of Rent in excess of the rent abatement insurance proceeds received by Landlord in connection with such damage or casualty to the Building (Landlord acknowledging that it shall carry 12 month rental loss coverage as part of Landlord’s insurance under Article 15 above).

17.6 Tenant’s Termination Right. In the event of any damage or destruction which affects Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises if Tenant’s possession and use of the Premises cannot be restored by Landlord within one hundred eighty (180) days for reasons other than delays caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days after the expiration of said one hundred eighty (180) day period, unless Landlord completes the restoration within said thirty (30) day notice period, in which case this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.
20

If this Lease is not terminated, Base Rent and all other elements of this Lease which are dependent upon the area of the Premises shall be appropriately adjusted to account for any reduction in the square footage of the Premises. All compensation awarded for a Taking shall be the property of Landlord. The right to receive compensation or proceeds are expressly waived by Tenant, however, Tenant may file a separate claim for Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, equipment and other personal property, loss of goodwill and Tenant’s reasonable relocation expenses, provided the filing of the claim does not diminish the amount of Landlord’s award.
18.2 Condemnation Award. Subject to the provisions of Section 18.3 below, in connection with any Taking of the Premises, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award which may be made or given in such taking or condemnation, without deduction or apportionment for any estate or interest of Tenant, it being expressly understood and agreed by Tenant that no portion of any such award shall be allowed or paid to Tenant for any so called bonus or excess value of this Lease, and such bonus or excess value shall be the sole property of Landlord. Tenant shall not assert any claim against Landlord or the taking authority for any compensation because of such taking (including any claim for bonus or excess value of this Lease); provided, however, if any portion of the Premises is taken, Tenant shall be granted the right to recover from the condemning authority (but not from Landlord) any compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant for the taking of Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, equipment and other personal property within the Premises, for Tenant’s relocation expenses, and for any loss of goodwill or other damage to Tenant’s business by reason of such taking.
18.3 Temporary Taking. In the event of a Taking of the Premises or any part thereof for temporary use, (a) this Lease shall be and remain unaffected thereby and Rent shall not xxxxx, and (b) Tenant shall be entitled to receive for itself such portion or portions of any award made for such use with respect to the period of the taking which is within the Term, provided that if such taking shall remain in force at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall perform its obligations with respect to surrender of the Premises and shall pay to Landlord the portion of any award which is attributable to any period of time beyond the Term expiration
21
date. For purpose of this Section 18.3, a temporary taking shall be defined as a taking for a period of ninety (90) days or less.
18.4 Waiver. Tenant hereby waives any rights it may have pursuant to any applicable Laws and agrees that the provisions hereof shall govern the parties’ rights in the event of any Taking.
ARTICLE 19 - WAIVER OF CLAIMS; WAIVER OF SUBROGATION
19.1 Waiver. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive their respective rights against the other party for any claims or damages or losses, including any deductibles and self-insured amounts, which are caused by or result from (a) any occurrence insured under any property insurance policy carried by either party, or (b) any occurrence which would have been covered under any property insurance required to be obtained and maintained by either party under this Lease had such insurance been obtained and maintained as required. The foregoing waiver shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, any other waivers or releases contained in this Lease.
19.2 Waiver of Insurers. Landlord and Tenant shall each cause their respective insurance policies to be carried under this Lease to provide that the insurer waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against the other party, in connection with any claims, losses and damages covered by such policy. If either party fails to maintain insurance for an insurable loss, such loss shall be deemed to be self-insured with a deemed full waiver of subrogation as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.
ARTICLE 20 - ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
20.1 Restriction on Transfer. Tenant will not assign this Lease in whole or in part, nor sublet all or any part of the Premises or enter into any license or concession agreements (collectively or individually, a “Transfer”), without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord will not unreasonably withhold. In no event may Tenant encumber or hypothecate this Lease. The consent by Landlord to any Transfer shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent Transfer. This prohibition against Transfers shall be construed to include a prohibition against any assignment or subletting by operation of law. Any attempted transfer, assignment, subletting, license or concession agreement, or hypothecation shall be void and confer no rights upon any third person and shall be a violation of this Section 20.1. Any transfer of this Lease from Tenant by merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise by operation of law, including, but not limited to, an assignment for the benefit of creditors, shall be included in the term “assignment” for the purposes of this Lease and shall be a violation of this Section 20.1. If this Lease is transferred by Tenant, or if the Premises or any part thereof are transferred or occupied by any person or entity other than Tenant, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such Transfer, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver on the part of Landlord, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as Tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained unless expressly made in writing by Landlord. Irrespective of any Transfer, Tenant shall remain fully liable under this Lease and shall not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.
22
20.2 Landlord’s Options. If Tenant desires to effect a Transfer, then at least thirty (30) days prior to the date when Tenant desires the Transfer to be effective (the “Transfer Date”), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written notice (“Transfer Notice”) setting forth the terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer and the identity of the proposed assignee, sublessee or other transferee (sometimes referred to hereinafter as a “Transferee”). Tenant shall also deliver to Landlord with the Transfer Notice, a current financial statement and such evidence of financial responsibility and standing as Landlord may reasonably require of the Transferee which have been certified or audited by a reputable independent accounting firm acceptable to Landlord, and such other information concerning the business background and financial condition of the proposed Transferee as Landlord may reasonably request. Except with respect to a Permitted Transfer, within fifteen (15) business days after Landlord’s receipt of any Transfer Notice, and any additional information requested by Landlord pursuant to this Section 20.2, Landlord will notify Tenant of its election to do one of the following: (a) consent to the proposed Transfer subject to such reasonable conditions as Landlord may impose in providing such consent; or (b) refuse such consent, which refusal shall be on reasonable grounds.
20.3 Additional Conditions; Excess Rent. A condition to Landlord’s consent to any Transfer will be the delivery to Landlord of a true copy of the fully executed instrument of assignment, sublease, transfer or hypothecation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, an original of Landlord’s standard consent form executed by both Tenant and the proposed Transferee. If Tenant effects a Transfer or requests the consent of Landlord to any Transfer (whether or not such Transfer is consummated), then, upon demand, and as a condition precedent to Landlord’s consideration of the proposed assignment or sublease, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord a non-refundable administrative fee of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) plus Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ and paralegal fees and other costs incurred by Landlord in reviewing such proposed assignment or sublease (whether attributable to Landlord’s in-house attorneys or paralegals or otherwise). Acceptance of the Five Hundred Dollar ($500.00) administrative fee and/or reimbursement of Landlord’s attorneys’ and/or paralegal fees shall in no event obligate Landlord to consent to any proposed Transfer.
20.4 Reasonable Disapproval. Without limiting in any way Landlord’s right to withhold its consent on any reasonable grounds, it is agreed that Landlord will not be acting unreasonably in refusing to consent to a Transfer if, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion: (a) the proposed assignee or subtenant does not have the financial capability to fulfill the obligations imposed by the Transfer; (b) the proposed Transferee is a governmental entity; or (c) the proposed Transfer involves a change of use of the Premises or would violate any exclusive use covenant to which Landlord is bound.
20.5 No Release. No Transfer, occupancy or collection of rent from any proposed Transferee shall be deemed a waiver on the part of Landlord, or the acceptance of the Transferee as Tenant and no Transfer shall release Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay Rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Landlord may require that any Transferee remit directly to Landlord on a monthly basis, all monies due Tenant by said Transferee, and each sublease shall provide that if Landlord gives said sublessee written notice that Tenant is in Default under this Lease, said sublessee will thereafter make all payments due under the sublease directly to or as directed by Landlord, which payments will be credited against any payments due under this Lease. Tenant
23
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally assigns to Landlord all rents and other sums payable under any sublease of the Premises; provided, however, that Landlord hereby grants Tenant a license to collect all such rents and other sums so long as Tenant is not in Default under this Lease. Consent by Landlord to one Transfer shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent Transfer. In the event of Default by any Transferee of Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such Transferee or successor. Landlord may not consent to subsequent assignments of this Lease or sublettings or amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Tenant, without first notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant or Tenant shall be fully released of any and all of its obligations, duties and responsibilities under the Lease.
20.6 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Landlord hereby consents to: (i) a Transfer of this Lease by Tenant to any entity which owns or controls Tenant, to any entity owned or controlled by Tenant, to any entity owned or controlled by or affiliated with any entity which owns or controls Tenant, or to any entity resulting from a consolidation, or to the surviving entity in case of a merger, to which consolidation or merger Tenant shall be a party, or to an entity to which all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant have been sold (each, a “Tenant Affiliate”), so long as in each case, Tenant shall continue to remain liable to Landlord under all of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease, which any such assignee or transferee shall also assume; and (ii) a transfer of all or substantially all of the stock of Tenant, an initial public offering of Tenant’s stock and/or the sale of any of the stock of Tenant if such stock is publicly traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange (including NASDAQ). Any Transfer by Tenant pursuant to this Section 20.6 is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Transfer”).
ARTICLE 21 - SURRENDER AND HOLDING OVER
21.1 Surrender of Premises. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender all keys for the Premises and exclusive possession of the Premises to Landlord broom clean and in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear, Landlord’s obligations, and Casualty damage excepted, with all of Tenant’s personal property, electronic, fiber, phone and data cabling and related equipment that is installed by or for the exclusive benefit of Tenant (to be removed in accordance with the National Electric Code and other applicable Laws) and those items, if any, of Alterations identified by Landlord pursuant to Section 13.2, removed therefrom and all damage caused by such removal repaired. If Tenant fails to remove by the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease all of its personal property and Alterations identified by Landlord for removal pursuant to Section 13.2, Landlord may, (without liability to Tenant for loss thereof), at Tenant’s sole cost and in addition to Landlord’s other rights and remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity: (a) remove and store such items in accordance with applicable Law; and/or (b) upon ten (10) days’ prior notice to Tenant, sell all or any such items at private or public sale for such price as Landlord may obtain as permitted under applicable Law. Landlord shall apply the proceeds of any such sale to any amounts due to Landlord under this Lease from Tenant (including Landlord’s attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in the removal, storage and/or sale of such items), with any remainder to be paid to Tenant.
24
21.2 Holding Over. Tenant will not be permitted to hold over possession of the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term without the express written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. If Tenant holds over after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term with or without the express written consent of Landlord, then, in addition to all other remedies available to Landlord, Tenant shall become a tenant at sufferance only, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease so far as applicable (including Tenant’s obligation to pay all Additional Rent under this Lease), but at a Monthly Base Rent equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Monthly Base Rent applicable to the Premises immediately prior to the date of such expiration or earlier termination. Any such holdover Rent shall be paid on a per month basis without reduction for partial months during the holdover. Acceptance by Landlord of Rent after such expiration or earlier termination shall not constitute consent to a hold over hereunder or result in an extension of this Lease. This Section 21.2 shall not be construed to create any express or implied right to holdover beyond the expiration of the Term or any extension thereof. Tenant shall be liable, and shall pay to Landlord within ten (10) days after demand, for all losses incurred by Landlord as a result of such holdover, and shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and the Landlord Parties harmless from and against all liabilities, damages, losses, claims, suits, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from or relating to any such holdover tenancy, including without limitation, any claim for damages made by a succeeding tenant. Tenant’s indemnification obligation hereunder shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. The foregoing provisions of this Section 21.2 are in addition to, and do not affect, Landlord’s right of re-entry or any other rights of Landlord hereunder or otherwise at law or in equity.
ARTICLE 22 - DEFAULTS
22.1 Tenant’s Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a “Default” under this Lease by Tenant:
(a) Intentionally omitted;
(b) the failure by Tenant to make any payment of Rent, Additional Rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, where such failure continues for ten (10) days after written notice thereof (and any applicable cure period) from Landlord that such payment was not received when due;
(c) the failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than as specified in Sections 22.1(a) or (b) above, where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s Default is such that it may be cured but more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in Default if Tenant shall commence such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion, which completion shall occur not later than sixty (60) days from the date of such notice from Landlord; or
(d) Intentionally Omitted;
25
(e) The filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy by Tenant, the filing by Tenant of a voluntary petition for an arrangement, the filing by or against Tenant of a petition, voluntary or involuntary, for reorganization, or the filing of an involuntary petition by the creditors of Tenant, said involuntary petition remaining undischarged for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days;
(f) Receivership, attachment, or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets on the Premises, such attachment or other seizure remaining undismissed or undischarged for a period of thirty (30) days after the levy thereof;
(g) The failure by Tenant to maintain its legal existence, if Tenant or such Guarantor is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other legal entity.
Any notice sent by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Section 22.1 shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under any applicable Law.
ARTICLE 23 - REMEDIES OF LANDLORD
23.1 Landlord’s Remedies; Termination. In the event of any such Default by Tenant, and subsequent to Landlord providing Tenant with an additional (i.e., in addition to any notice required by Article 22 above) written notice and ten (10) days to cure any such Default, then in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder and to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed, stored and/or disposed of as permitted by applicable Law. If Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease, then Landlord may recover from Tenant: (a) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus (b) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (d) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom including, but not limited to: attorneys’ fees; brokers’ commissions; any costs required to return the Premises to the conditioned required at the end of the Term; the costs of refurbishment, renovation and repair of the Premises; and removal (including the repair of any damage caused by such removal) and storage (or disposal) of Tenant’s personal property, equipment, fixtures, Alterations, Tenant Improvements and any other items which Tenant is required under this Lease to remove but does not remove; plus (e) all other monetary damages allowed under applicable Law.
As used in Sections 23.1(a) and 23.1(b) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate set forth in the Summary. As used in Section 23.1(c) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
26
23.2 Landlord’s Remedies; Continuation of Lease; Re-Entry Rights. In the event of any such Default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall also have the right to (a) continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, and (b) after terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed, stored and/or disposed of as permitted by applicable Law. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Section 23.2, and no acceptance of surrender of the Premises or other action on Landlord’s part, shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. No notice from Landlord or notice given under a forcible entry and detainer statute or similar Laws will constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless such notice specifically so states. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Landlord because of any Default, Landlord may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Lease for any such Default.
23.3 Landlord’s Right to Perform. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Lease, all covenants and agreements by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any abatement or offset of Rent. In the event of any Default by Tenant, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations, make such payment or perform such other act as required to cure such Default on behalf of Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs incurred by Landlord in performing such other acts shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within five (5) days after demand therefor as Additional Rent.
23.4 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights, options and remedies of Landlord contained in this Article 23 and elsewhere in this Lease shall be construed and held to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be exclusive of the other, and Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or all of such remedies or any other remedy or relief which may be provided by law or in equity, whether or not stated in this Lease. Nothing in this Article 23 shall be deemed to limit or otherwise affect Tenant’s indemnification of Landlord pursuant to any provision of this Lease.
23.5 Costs Upon Default and Litigation. Tenant shall pay to Landlord and its Mortgagees as Additional Rent all the expenses incurred by Landlord or its Mortgagees in connection with any Default by Tenant hereunder or the exercise of any remedy by reason of any Default by Tenant hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. If Landlord or its Mortgagees shall be made a party to any litigation commenced against Tenant or any litigation pertaining to this Lease or the Premises, at the option of Landlord and/or its Mortgagees, Tenant, at its expense, shall provide Landlord and/or its Mortgagees with counsel approved by Landlord and/or its Mortgagees and shall pay all costs incurred or paid by Landlord and/or its Mortgagees in connection with such litigation.
27
ARTICLE 24 - ENTRY BY LANDLORD
Landlord and its employees and agents shall at all reasonable times, and only during Orchard Supply Hardware normal business hours, have the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same, to supply any service required to be provided by Landlord to Tenant under this Lease, to Exhibit the Premises to prospective lenders or purchasers (or during the last year of the Term or during any Default by Tenant, to prospective tenants), to post notices of non-responsibility, and/or to alter, improve or repair the Premises or any portion thereof, all without being deemed guilty of or liable for any breach of Landlord’s covenant of quiet enjoyment or any eviction of Tenant, and without abatement of Rent. In exercising such entry rights, Landlord shall endeavor to minimize, to the extent reasonably practicable, the interference with Tenant’s business, and shall provide Tenant with reasonable advance notice (oral or written) of such entry. For each of the foregoing purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults and safes, and Landlord shall have the means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises. Any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means or otherwise shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof, or grounds for any abatement or reduction of Rent and Landlord shall not have any liability to Tenant for any damages or losses on account of any such entry by Landlord.
ARTICLE 25 - LIMITATION ON LANDLORD’S LIABILITY
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, the obligations of Landlord under this Lease (including as to any actual or alleged breach or default by Landlord) do not constitute personal obligations of the individual members, managers, investors, partners, directors, officers, or shareholders of Landlord or Landlord’s members or partners, and Tenant shall not seek recourse against the individual members, managers, investors, partners, directors, officers, or shareholders of Landlord or Landlord’s members or partners or any other persons or entities having any interest in Landlord, or any of their personal assets for satisfaction of any liability with respect to this Lease. In addition, in consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder to Tenant and notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant hereby covenants and agrees for itself and all of its successors and assigns that the liability of Landlord for its obligations under this Lease (including any liability as a result of any actual or alleged failure, breach or default hereunder by Landlord), shall be limited solely to, and Tenant’s and its successors’ and assigns’ sole and exclusive remedy shall be against, Landlord’s interest in the Premises (and the rents, profits, proceeds and insurance proceeds thereof), and no other assets of Landlord. The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or obligations on the part of the Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title to, or a lessee’s interest in a ground lease of, the Premises (and the rents, profits, proceeds and insurance proceeds thereof). In the event of any transfer or conveyance of any such title or interest (other than a transfer for security purposes only), the transferor shall be automatically relieved of all then-unaccrued covenants and obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease. Landlord and Landlord’s transferees and assignees shall have the absolute right to transfer all or any portion of their respective title and interest in the Premises and/or this Lease without the consent of Tenant, and such transfer or
28
subsequent transfer shall not be deemed a violation on Landlord’s part of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease.
ARTICLE 26 - SUBORDINATION
Landlord acknowledges that as of the Commencement Date, there will be no financing encumbering the Premises. Tenant agrees that, subject to the following, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust, ground lease(s) or other lien(s) now or subsequently arising upon the Premises, and to renewals, modifications, refinancings and extensions thereof (collectively referred to as a “Mortgage”); provided, however, that Tenant’s obligation to subordinate this Lease to a future Mortgage shall be conditioned upon the holder of such Mortgage (each, a “Mortgagee” and collectively, “Mortgagees”) agreeing to enter into with Tenant an agreement of subordination, attornment and non-disturbance (a “SNDA”) in commercially reasonable form. No later than ten (10) business days after written request from Landlord or any holder of a Mortgage (each, a “Mortgagee” and collectively, “Mortgagees”), Tenant shall enter into a SNDA in a commercially reasonable form. As an alternative, a Mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease. No later than ten (10) business days after written request by Landlord or any Mortgagee, Tenant shall, without charge, attorn to any successor to Landlord’s interest in this Lease. Tenant hereby waives its rights under any current or future Law which gives or purports to give Tenant any right to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder in the event of any such foreclosure proceeding or sale. Should Tenant fail to sign and return any such documents within said ten (10) business day period, Tenant shall be in Default hereunder.
ARTICLE 27 - ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
Within twenty (20) business days following Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, in a form substantially similar to the form of Exhibit F attached hereto. Any such estoppel certificate delivered pursuant to this Article 27 may be relied upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of any portion of the Property, as well as their assignees. Tenant’s failure to deliver such certificate within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance, and that not more than one (1) month’s Rent has been paid in advance.
ARTICLE 28 - RELOCATION OF PREMISES

30
31.5 Professional Fees. If either Landlord or Tenant should bring suit (or alternate dispute resolution proceedings) against the other with respect to this Lease, including for unlawful detainer, forcible entry and detainer, or any other relief against the other hereunder, then all costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party therein (including, without limitation, its actual appraisers’, accountants’, attorneys’ and other professional fees, expenses and court costs), shall be paid by the other party, including any and all costs incurred in enforcing, perfecting and executing such judgment and all reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees associated with any appeal.
31.6 Waiver. The waiver by either party of any breach by the other party of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant and condition herein contained, nor shall any custom or practice which may become established between the parties in the administration of the terms hereof be deemed a waiver of, or in any way affect, the right of any party to insist upon the performance by the other in strict accordance with said terms. No waiver of any default of either party hereunder shall be implied from any acceptance by Landlord or delivery by Tenant (as the case may be) of any Rent or other payments due hereunder or any omission by the non-defaulting party to take any action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect defaults other than as specified in said waiver.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each has participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Lease; therefore, in the event of an ambiguity in, or dispute regarding the interpretation of, this Lease, the interpretation of this Lease shall not be resolved by any rule of interpretation providing for interpretation against the party who caused the uncertainty to exist or against the draftsman.

EXTENSION OPTION
RIDER NO. 1 TO LEASE
This Rider No. 1 is made and entered into by and between LBA RIV-COMPANY XVII, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and ORCHARD SUPPLY HARDWARE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tenant”), as of the day and year of the Lease between Landlord and Tenant to which this Rider is attached. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the provisions set forth below shall be deemed to be part of the Lease and shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of the Lease. All references in the Lease and in this Rider to the “Lease” shall be construed to mean the Lease (and all Exhibits and Riders attached thereto), as amended and supplemented by this Rider. All capitalized terms not defined in this Rider shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Lease.
1. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant three (3) options (collectively, the “Extension Options”, and each, an “Extension Option”) to extend the Term of the Lease for three (3) additional periods of sixty (60) months each (collectively, the “Option Terms”, and each, an “Option Term”), on the same terms, covenants and conditions as provided for in the Lease during the initial Term, except for the Monthly Base Rent, which shall initially be equal to the greater of: (a) the Monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant during the last month of the then current Term immediately preceding the Option Term or (b) the “fair market rental rate” for the Premises for the Option Term as defined and determined in accordance with the provisions of the Fair Market Rental Rate Rider attached to the Lease as Rider No. 2, subject to fair market annual rent adjustments during the Option Term. If Landlord determines that the Monthly Base Rent for the Option Term is to be the Monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant during the last month of the then current Term pursuant to Section 1(a) above, such determination shall be conclusive, Tenant shall have no right to object thereto, and the Landlord and Tenant shall avoid the formal fair market value determination process. If, however, Landlord determines that the Monthly Base Rent for the applicable Option Term is to be the fair market rental rate, then such fair market rental rate shall be determined in accordance with the Fair Market Rental Rate Rider attached to the Lease as Rider No. 2.
2. An Extension Option must be exercised, if at all, by written notice (“Extension Notice”) delivered by Tenant to Landlord no sooner than that date which is twelve (12) months and no later than that date which is nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then current Term of the Lease. Provided Tenant has properly and timely exercised the Extension Option, the then current Term of the Lease shall be extended by the Option Term, and all terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect, except that the Monthly Base Rent shall be as set forth above and except that the number of remaining Extension Options (if any) shall be reduced by one.

RIDER NO. 2 TO LEASE
This Rider No. 2 is made and entered into by and between LBA RIV-COMPANY XVII, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and ORCHARD SUPPLY HARDWARE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tenant”), as of the day and year of the Lease between Landlord and Tenant to which this Rider is attached. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the provisions set forth below shall be deemed to be part of the Lease and shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of the Lease. All references in the Lease and in this Rider to the “Lease” shall be construed to mean the Lease (and all Exhibits and Riders attached thereto), as amended and supplemented by this Rider. All capitalized terms not defined in this Rider shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Lease.
1. The term “fair market rental rate” as used in this Rider and any Rider attached to the Lease means the annual amount per square foot, projected for each year of the Option Term (including annual adjustments), that a willing, non-equity tenant (excluding sublease and assignment transactions) would pay, and a willing landlord of a comparable quality building located in the Tracy, California area would accept, in an arm’s length transaction (what Landlord is accepting in then current transactions for the Building may be used for purposes of projecting rent for the Option Term), for space of comparable size, quality and floor height as the Premises, taking into account the age, quality and layout of the existing improvements in the Premises, and taking into account items that professional real estate brokers or professional real estate appraisers customarily consider, including, but not limited to, rental rates, space availability, tenant size, tenant improvement allowances, parking charges and any other lease considerations, if any, then being charged or granted by Landlord or the lessors of such similar buildings. All economic terms other than Monthly Base Rent, such as tenant improvement allowance amounts, if any, operating expense allowances, parking charges, etc., will be established by Landlord and will be factored into the determination of the fair market rental rate for the Option Term. Accordingly, the fair market rental rate will be an effective rate, not specifically including, but accounting for, the appropriate economic considerations described above.
2. If Landlord determines that the Option Term’s initial Monthly Base Rent is to be based on the fair market rental rate for the Premises, the Landlord shall provide written notice of Landlord’s determination of the fair market rental rate not later than sixty (60) days after the last day upon which Tenant may timely exercise the right giving rise to the necessity for such fair market rental rate determination. Tenant shall have thirty (30) days (“Tenant’s Review Period”) after receipt of Landlord’s notice of the fair market rental rate within which to accept such fair market rental rate or to reasonably object thereto in writing. Failure of Tenant to so object to the fair market rental rate submitted by Landlord in writing within Tenant’s Review Period shall conclusively be deemed Tenant’s approval and acceptance thereof. If within Tenant’s Review Period Tenant reasonably objects to or is deemed to have disapproved the fair market rental rate submitted by Landlord, Landlord and Tenant will meet together with their respective legal counsel to present and discuss their individual determinations of the fair market rental rate for the Premises under the parameters set forth in Paragraph 1 above and shall diligently and in good
Rider No. 2 - 1
faith attempt to negotiate a rental rate on the basis of such individual determinations. Such meeting shall occur no later than ten (10) days after the expiration of Tenant’s Review Period. The parties shall each provide the other with such supporting information and documentation as they deem appropriate. At such meeting if Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the fair market rental rate, they shall each submit to the other their respective best and final offer as to the fair market rental rate. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement on such fair market rental rate within five (5) business days following such a meeting (the “Outside Agreement Date”), then the determination of the fair market rental rate shall be made by appraisal in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 below.
3. (a) Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one (1) independent appraiser who shall by profession be an M.A.I. certified real estate appraiser who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of commercial (including office) properties in the Tracy, California area. The determination of the appraisers shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s last proposed (as of the Outside Agreement Date) best and final fair market rental rate for the Premises is the closest to the actual fair market rental rate for the Premises as determined by the appraisers, taking into account the requirements specified in Section 1 above. Each such appraiser shall be appointed within ten (10) business days after the Outside Agreement Date.
(b) The two (2) appraisers so appointed shall within ten (10) business days after the date of the appointment of the last appointed appraiser agree upon and appoint a third appraiser who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two (2) appraisers.
(c) The three (3) appraisers shall within ten (10) business days after the appointment of the third appraiser reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted best and final fair market rental rate, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. During such ten (10) business day period, Landlord and Tenant may submit to the appraisers such information and documentation to support their respective positions as they shall deem reasonably relevant and Landlord and Tenant may each appear before the appraisers jointly to question and respond to questions from the appraisers.
(d) The decision of the majority of the three (3) appraisers shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and neither party shall have the right to reject the decision or to undo the exercise of the applicable Option. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser within the time period specified in Section 3(a) hereinabove, the appraiser appointed by one of them shall within ten (10) business days following the date on which the party failing to appoint an appraiser could have last appointed such appraiser reach a decision based upon the same procedures as set forth above (i.e., by selecting either Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted best and final fair market rental rate), and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such appraiser’s decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and neither party shall have the right to reject the decision or to undo the exercise of the applicable Option.
(e) If the two (2) appraisers fail to agree upon and appoint a third appraiser, either party, upon ten (10) days written notice to the other party, can apply to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of San Xxxxxxx County to appoint a third appraiser meeting the
Rider No. 2 - 2
qualifications set forth herein. The third appraiser, however, selected shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for ether party.
(f) The cost of each party’s appraiser shall be the responsibility of the party selecting such appraiser, and the cost of the third appraiser (or arbitration, if necessary) shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant.
(g) If the process described hereinabove has not resulted in a selection of either Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted best and final fair market rental rate by the commencement of the applicable Option Term, then the fair market rental rate estimated by Landlord will be used until the appraiser(s) reach a decision, with an appropriate rental credit and other adjustments for any overpayments of Monthly Base Rent or other amounts if the appraisers select Tenant’s submitted best and final estimate of the fair market rental rate. The parties shall enter into an amendment to this Lease confirming the terms of the decision.
