Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. Organization and Description of Business

We were incorporated on June 1, 2005 in the state of Delaware as Realwide, Inc. On September 22, 2005, we changed our name to Trulia, Inc.

Our online marketplace and mobile applications help consumers research homes and neighborhoods and provide a broad array of information to help them in the buying and selling processes. We also help real estate professionals market themselves and their listings. Our subscription-based real estate marketing and software products provide real estate professionals with access to transaction-ready consumers and help them grow and manage their businesses.

Acquisition of Market Leader, Inc.

In August 2013, we acquired all the outstanding shares of capital stock of Market Leader, Inc. (“Market Leader”) for 4,412,489 shares of our common stock and $170.5 million in cash. Market Leader is a provider of software-as-a-service (“SaaS”)-based customer relationship management software for the real estate sector. Under the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), each outstanding share of Market Leader common stock was converted into the right to receive (a) $6.00 in cash, without interest, and subject to applicable withholding tax, and (b) 0.1553 of a share of our common stock, for a total purchase consideration of $372.7 million. In connection with the merger, all of the outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units of Market Leader were converted into stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock units, respectively, denominated in shares of our common stock based on formulas set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Convertible Senior Notes

On December 17, 2013, we issued $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes, due in 2020 (the “2020 Notes”), which included a $30 million of principal amount issued pursuant to an over-allotment option granted to the initial purchasers. The aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes is due on December 15, 2020. We received net proceeds of $222.4 million, after deducting offering expenses payable by us. Interest began to accrue on December 17, 2013 and is payable semi-annually every June 15 and December 15, starting on June 15, 2014. We may not redeem the 2020 Notes prior to December 20, 2018. We may redeem the 2020 Notes, at our option, in whole or in part on or after December 20, 2018, if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period. Holders of the notes may convert all or any portion of their notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. The 2020 Notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 27.8303 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustment in certain events. Further detail on these 2020 Notes is presented in Note 6 of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties

We operate in a dynamic industry and, accordingly, can be affected by a variety of factors. For example, we believe that changes in any of the following areas could have a significant negative effect on our future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows: ability to obtain additional financing; advances and trends in new technologies and industry standards; changes in certain strategic relationships or customer relationships; market acceptance of our products; development of sales channels; loss of significant customers; litigation or other claims against us; the hiring, training, and retention of key employees; changes in enacted tax rates; and new product introductions by competitors.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 3, 2014. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date.

 

6


Table of Contents

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in our opinion, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2014, our results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The results for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2014, or for any other interim period, or for any other future year.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the operations of Trulia and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that we make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant items subject to such estimates include: revenue recognition; allowance for doubtful accounts; useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets; recoverability of long-lived assets, intangible assets with definite lives and goodwill; income tax uncertainties, including a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets; accounting for business combinations; and contingencies. We base these estimates on historical and anticipated results, trends, and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and recorded revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

 

3. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The current accounting guidance for fair value measurements defines a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures as follows:

Level I—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level II—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and

Level III—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, which requires us to develop our own assumptions.

The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Table of Contents

The carrying values of our financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and restricted cash approximated their fair values. The estimated fair value and carrying value of our 2020 Notes as of March 31, 2014 was $236.8 million and $230.0 million, respectively. We determined the estimated fair value of the 2020 Notes through use of option pricing and discounted cash flow models. The fair value is classified as Level III due to the use of significant unobservable inputs such as estimated long-term volatility of our common stock and credit risk premium. The estimated fair value and carrying value of our 2020 Notes as of December 31, 2013 was $252.0 million and $230.0 million, respectively. The following table sets forth the fair value of our financial assets remeasured on a recurring basis, by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

None of the cash equivalents or the restricted cash held by us had unrealized losses and there were no realized losses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. There were no other-than-temporary impairments for these instruments as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. In the three months ended March 31, 2014 our restricted cash increased by $4.8 million, of which $3.8 million was in connection with our new lease agreement in San Francisco discussed further in Note 7, and $968,000 related to the amendment of our continuing lease agreement in Denver. As of March 31, 2014, the contractual maturities of all certificates of deposit were from less than one year to three years.

Our cash equivalents include all credit card and debit card transactions that process as of the last day of each month and settle within a few days of the beginning of the subsequent month. The amounts due from third party merchant processors for these transactions that are included in our cash equivalents totaled $336,000 and $349,000 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

As noted in Note 1 above, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, we acquired all the outstanding shares of capital stock of Market Leader, Inc. for 4,412,489 shares of our common stock and $170.5 million in cash, for a total purchase price of $372.7 million. The total purchase price was allocated to the preliminary net tangible and intangible assets based on their preliminary fair values as of August 20, 2013. The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary net tangible assets and intangibles assets was recorded as goodwill. The total value allocated to the intangible assets was $123.1 million.

6. Debt

As discussed in Notes 1 and 3, on December 17, 2013 we issued $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes, which included a $30 million of principal amount issued pursuant to an over-allotment option granted to the initial purchasers. The aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes is due on December 15, 2020. The estimated fair value and carrying value of the 2020 Notes as of March 31, 2014 were $236.8 million and $230.0 million, respectively.

The conversion option of the 2020 Notes has no cash settlement provisions. Total issuance costs for the convertible notes were $7.6 million. We use the effective interest method to amortize the debt issuance costs. We believe that the conversion option does not meet the criteria for separate accounting as a derivative as it is indexed to our own stock.

We recognized interest expense related to the 2020 Notes in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and in the period from December 17, 2013 through December 31, 2013 of $1.8 million and $246,000, respectively. The amortization of debt issuance costs related to the 2020 Notes in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and in the period from December 17, 2013 through December 31, 2013 was $245,000 and $38,000, respectively.

 

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

We lease our corporate offices under noncancelable operating leases in San Francisco, Bellevue, Denver, and New York that range from one to nine years in term.

On March 10, 2014, we entered into a lease agreement (“the Lease”) for 52,595 square feet of office space at 535 Mission Street in San Francisco. The term of the Lease is approximately 107 months and is scheduled to commence on November 1, 2014, or the date that the landlord substantially completes the construction of our new facility. We will also obtain the right to occupy an additional 26,682 square feet of office space commencing in October 2015. Furthermore, we have options to lease up to an aggregate of approximately 40,000 square feet of additional office space under the Lease. Future minimum lease payments under the Lease will range from $182,000 per month to $347,000 per month. Once we occupy this office space, it will become our new principal executive office and will replace 116 New Montgomery Street in San Francisco. To secure our lease obligation we were required to enter into a secured letter of credit arrangement with a financial institution for the amount of $3.8 million. This deposit is classified as restricted cash in our balance sheet as of March 31, 2014.

Rent expense from the leases of the facilities we currently occupy is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The rent expense was $1.1 million and $727,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Merger Litigation

Following the announcement that we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire Market Leader, purported class action law suits brought on behalf of all Market Leader shareholders contesting the merger were filed in King County Superior Court and then consolidated under the caption In re Market Leader Inc. Shareholders’ Litigation, No. 13-2-20796-6 SEA (the “Merger Litigation”). On July 15, 2013, a superseding Consolidated Class Action Complaint (“Consolidated Complaint”), was filed, alleging that Market Leader’s board of directors breached its fiduciary duties by failing to maximize shareholder value or to engage in a fair sale process before approving the proposed acquisition of Market Leader by Trulia. The Consolidated Complaint also alleged that the defendants, including us and Mariner Acquisition Corp., our wholly owned subsidiary, failed to provide Market Leader shareholders with material information regarding the merger in the proxy statement and related public filings. The Consolidated Complaint further alleged that Market Leader, Trulia, and Mariner Acquisition Corp. aided and abetted the Market Leader directors’ breaches of fiduciary duty. The Consolidated Complaint sought an injunction prohibiting the consummation of the merger, rescission to the extent the merger terms have already been implemented, damages for the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty, and payment of plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and costs. On August 5, 2013, the parties entered into a memorandum of understanding to settle the Merger Litigation and resolve all allegations against Market Leader and the other defendants. The settlement provided for the release of all claims against the defendants relating to the merger, including those alleged in the Consolidated Complaint. Lead counsel for the consolidated action applied to the court for an award of fees and reimbursement of costs incurred in connection with the Merger Litigation. Market Leader agreed not to oppose the application for an award of fees and reimbursement of costs up to $350,000. On December 23, 2013, the court entered an order preliminarily approving the settlement, and on March 7, 2014, a final order approving the settlement was issued.

Zillow Litigation

In September 2012, Zillow, Inc. (“Zillow”) filed a lawsuit against us alleging patent infringement of US patent 7,970,674 (the “’764 Patent”). Zillow is seeking a permanent injunction against the alleged infringement, compensatory damages, and attorneys’ fees. We believe we have meritorious defenses and we intend to vigorously defend the claims against us. On September 11, 2013, we filed a petition for covered business method patent review with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”). Also, on September 12, 2013, we filed a motion to stay pending the review. The district court granted our motion to stay on October 7, 2013, and this matter is now stayed. On March 10, 2014, the PTO granted our petition and instituted the covered business method patent review. Separately, on March 27, 2014, the PTO ruled in an inter partes review proceeding brought by a different company that the majority of the claims of the ‘764 Patent were invalid. This litigation is still in its early stages and the final outcome, including any estimated liability, if any, with respect to these claims, is uncertain. We did not accrue any amounts related to this litigation because a reasonably possible range of loss, if any, that may result from this matter could not be estimated as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

From time to time, we are subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. We have received, and may in the future continue to receive, claims from third parties asserting, among other things, infringement of their intellectual property rights.

Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe the final outcome of the matters discussed above will not have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. We will, however, accrue for losses for any known contingent liabilities when future payment is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable.

Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into contractual arrangements under which we agree to provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the breach of such agreements and out of intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In these circumstances, payment may be conditional on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract. Further, our obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount, and in some instances, we may have recourse against third parties for certain payments. In addition, we have indemnification agreements with certain of our directors and executive officers that require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The terms of such obligations may vary. No such obligations existed as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

9. Compensation paid in stock

2005 Stock Plan

We granted options under our 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”) until September 2012 when the 2005 Plan was terminated. Since the date of the plan termination, no more stock options or awards were issued under the plan; however, the stock options issued prior to the plan termination continue to be outstanding. Under the terms of the 2005 Plan, we had the ability to grant incentive (“ISO”) and nonstatutory (“NSO”) stock options, restricted stock awards (“RSA”) and restricted stock units (“RSU”). The options were granted at a price per share not less than 100% of the fair market value per share at the grant date. Options granted under the 2005 Plan generally vest at a rate of 25% after the first year and then at 1/36 of the remaining shares each month thereafter and expire 10 years from the grant date. Certain options vest monthly over two to four years.

2012 Equity Incentive Plan

Effective September 19, 2012, our board of directors adopted, and our stockholders approved, a 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”). The 2012 Plan provides for the grant of ISOs, NSOs, RSAs, RSUs, stock appreciation rights, performance units, and performance shares to our employees, directors, and consultants. Upon adoption of the 2012 Plan, a total of 2,370,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance plus up to 1,000,000 shares from the expiration or termination of awards under the 2005 Plan. The shares available are increased at the beginning of each fiscal year by the lesser of (i) 2,100,000 shares, (ii) 4% of outstanding common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (iii) such number determined by our board of directors. On January 1, 2014 and 2013 the shares available for grant under the 2012 Plan were automatically increased by 1,463,303 and 1,102,112 shares, respectively. On June 5, 2013, the stockholders approved a 2,000,000 share increase to the 2012 Plan. Under the 2012 Plan, both the ISOs and NSOs are granted at a price per share not less than 100% of the fair market value per share of the underlying stock at the grant date. The board of directors determines the vesting period for each option award on the grant date, and the options generally expire 10 years from the grant date or such shorter term as may be determined by the board of directors. The RSUs are granted for zero purchase price.

Market Leader 2004 Equity Incentive Plan

In connection with our acquisition of Market Leader and pursuant to the Merger Agreement between us and Market Leader, we assumed Market Leader’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (“2004 Plan”), including all outstanding shares of restricted stock, all outstanding stock appreciation rights, all outstanding options and all shares available for future issuance under the 2004 Plan, and all of such securities became issuable for shares of our common stock. We may make equity-based awards, to the extent permissible by applicable law and NYSE rules, under the terms of the 2004 Plan to issue the reserved but unissued shares under the 2004 Plan and the

shares that would otherwise be returned to the 2004 Plan due to (i) awards that lapse, expire, terminate, or are canceled prior to the issuance of shares thereunder or (ii) shares of common stock that are issued under the 2004 Plan and thereafter are forfeited to or otherwise reacquired by us.

As of the date we assumed the 2004 Plan, a total of 283,522 shares of common stock were available for issuance. The shares available were increased on January 1, 2014 by 202,770 shares under the automatic annual increase provisions of the 2004 Plan.

We did not assume House Value’s 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1999 Plan”). However, pursuant to the Merger Agreement we have assumed all outstanding shares of restricted stock, all outstanding stock appreciation rights and all outstanding options issued under the 1999 Plan. These equity awards will continue to be outstanding and will be governed by the provisions of the 1999 Plan.

The total shares of common stock available for grant under our 2012 Plan and 2004 Plan were 3,159,568 and 2,059,599 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The options exercisable as of March 31, 2014 included options that were exercisable prior to vesting. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $14.87 and $12.63, respectively.

Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock and the exercise price of outstanding, in-the-money options. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised was $4.9 million and $11.4 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The total estimated grant date fair value of employee options vested during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $2.1 million and $756,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted to employees was $12.6 million, net of estimated forfeitures of $1.3 million. These costs will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average vesting period of 2.38 years.

As of March 31, 2014 total unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested RSUs granted to employees was $51.0 million, net of estimated forfeitures of $5.7 million, respectively. This cost will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average vesting period of 3.02 years.

In the three months ended June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013 we granted 2,105,000 stock unit awards in relation to the Market Leader acquisition, of which 1,576,250 were performance based awards and 528,750 were time based awards. The performance based awards were contingent upon closing of the acquisition of Market Leader referred to in Note 1 above, achievement of certain performance metrics, including comparative market-based returns, and the employees’ continued service relationship with us. The time based awards were contingent upon closing of the acquisition of Market Leader referred to in Note 1 above and the employees’ continued service relationship with us. On August 20, 2013 the first contingency was resolved when we closed the acquisition of Market Leader. Hence, the time-based awards were classified as restricted stock units and included in the RSU table above. The performance-based awards are summarized in the table below.

We estimated the fair value of the performance based awards with market-based conditions using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Total compensation cost recorded related to performance-based awards in the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $2.8 million.

As of March 31, 2014 total unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested performance based awards was $27.3 million, net of estimated forfeitures of $1.4 million, respectively. This cost will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average vesting period of 2.76 years.

Stock Appreciation Rights Activity

We measure the fair value of stock appreciation rights similar to stock options. Additionally, we classify stock appreciation rights that may be settled in cash as a liability and remeasure it at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Any changes in fair value as a result of this remeasurement are recorded as cumulative compensation cost. Compensation expense related to stock appreciation rights is recognized over the vesting period using the straight-line method reduced for estimated forfeitures. We recognized $114,000 as compensation expense in the three months ended March 31, 2014 related to the stock appreciation rights.

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock appreciation rights exercised was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The total estimated grant date fair value of employee stock appreciation rights vested during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $412,000. As of March 31, 2014 total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock appreciation rights granted to employees was $2.2 million, net of estimated forfeitures of $82,000. These costs will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average vesting period of 1.71 years.

There were no stock appreciation rights issued or outstanding in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

11. Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with authoritative guidance, which requires use of the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statements carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the differences are expected to be reversed.

12. Employee Benefit Plan

We have a defined contribution 401(k) retirement plan covering Trulia employees who have met certain eligibility requirements (the “Trulia 401(k) Plan”). Eligible employees may contribute pretax compensation up to the maximum amount allowable under Internal Revenue Service limitations. Employee contributions and earnings thereon vest immediately.

Effective with the Market Leader acquisition, we assumed the Market Leader defined contribution 401(k) plan separately covering our Market Leader employees (the “Market Leader 401(k) Plan”). Eligible employees may contribute pretax compensation up to the maximum amount allowable under Internal Revenue Service limitations. Employee contributions and earnings thereon vest immediately.

We currently match up to 4% of employee contributions under the Trulia 401(k) Plan. Our expense related to the Trulia 401(k) Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $592,000 and $264,000, respectively. The Market Leader 401(k) Plan allows for discretionary employer contributions, but no such contributions have been made.

 

13. Subsequent Events

On April 10, 2014, we entered into a lease agreement for 64,908 square feet of office space in the Denver metropolitan area. The term of the lease is approximately 90 calendar months and is scheduled to commence on May 1, 2014. The lease agreement calls for escalating rent payments over the 90 calendar months and allows for six full months of rent abatement. Future minimum lease payments range from $124,000 per month to $141,000 per month. In connection with this lease agreement we entered into a secured letter of credit arrangement with a financial institution for the amount of $1.1 million to secure our lease obligation. This deposit is classified as restricted cash in our balance sheet as of March 31, 2014.

Effective April 1, 2014, we merged our existing defined contribution 401(k) retirement plans into one plan with a single financial institution. The new plan covers all our employees who have met certain eligibility requirements. Eligible employees may contribute pretax compensation up to the maximum amount allowable under Internal Revenue Service limitations. Employee contributions and earnings thereon vest immediately.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Statements containing words such as “may,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “projections,” “business outlook,” “estimate,” or similar expressions constitute forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

Trulia is redefining the home search experience for consumers and changing the way that real estate professionals build their businesses. Our marketplace, delivered through the web and mobile applications, gives consumers powerful tools to research homes and neighborhoods and enables real estate professionals to efficiently market their listings and attract and manage new clients. We believe we deliver the best home search experience by combining our superior user interface with our comprehensive database of real estate properties, local insights, and user-generated content. We also offer a comprehensive suite of free and subscription products that provide real estate professionals with access to transaction-ready consumers and help them to grow and manage their online presence. We also generate media revenue from sales of display advertising on our websites and mobile applications .

Key elements of our marketplace are extensive consumer reach, an engaged base of real estate professionals, and a comprehensive database of real estate information and local insights. We also offer free and subscription-based products that provide comprehensive marketing and customer relationship management (CRM) solutions for real estate professionals. In the three months ended March 31, 2014, taking into account unique visitors on Market Leader properties, we had approximately 44.6 million monthly unique visitors. In addition, as of March 31, 2014, we had more than 470,000 active real estate professionals in our Trulia marketplace and 165,000 active real estate professionals using our Market Leader software and services. Approximately 66,700 of these real estate professionals were paying subscribers (assuming a 20% overlap between Trulia subscribers and Market Leader’s premium subscribers).

Our large, continually refreshed, and searchable database contains more than 113.5 million properties, including 3.0 million homes for sale and rent. We supplement listings data with local information on schools, crime, commute time, neighborhood amenities, rental prices, and historical earthquake, flood and other natural disaster data to provide unique insights into each community. In addition, we harness rich, insightful user-generated content from our active community of contributors, including consumers, local enthusiasts, and real estate professionals. With more than 13.1 million unique user contributions, we believe we have the largest collection of user-generated content on homes, neighborhoods, and real estate professionals. We deliver this information on mobile devices through our iPhone, iPad, Android Phone, Android tablet, and Kindle Fire applications and also provide tailored mobile experiences, such as GPS-based search.

We offer our products free to consumers. We deliver hard to find insights on homes, neighborhoods, and real estate professionals in an intuitive and engaging way, helping consumers make more informed housing decisions. Our free products attract users to our marketplace and the quality of our products drives the growth of our audience and promotes deep engagement by our users. We believe this leads real estate professionals to convert to paying subscribers and brand advertisers to purchase our advertising products.

For real estate professionals, we offer a suite of free and subscription products to promote themselves and their listings online, manage and grow their businesses and to connect with consumers searching for homes. We generate revenue primarily from sales of subscription marketing products and our software-as-a-service customer relationship management products that we offer to real estate professionals. Our Trulia Pro and Trulia Premium Listings products allow real estate professionals to receive prominent placement of their listings in our search results. With our Trulia Local Ads and Trulia Mobile Ads products, real estate professionals can purchase local advertising on our Trulia website and mobile applications, respectively, by locale and by share of a given market. With our recently launched Trulia Seller Ads product, real estate professionals can generate leads from consumers interested in selling their homes. With our software-as-a-service products, real estate professionals can manage and cultivate clients and potential clients by automating daily tasks and efficiently marketing their services. We charge real estate professionals subscription fees for our software-as-a-service products. We also generate revenue through enterprise marketing agreements with real estate franchise networks. We provide a base level software-as-a-service product to all agents and/or brokerages in these franchise networks in exchange for certain minimum payments from the real estate franchise networks. We also generate revenue through the sale of premium software and marketing products to individual agents, teams and brokerage offices within these real estate franchise networks.

In addition, we generate revenue from display advertising we sell to leading advertisers engaged in promoting their brand to our attractive audience. Pricing for our display advertisements is based on advertisement size and position on our web page, and fees are primarily based on a Cost-Per-Thousand, Cost-Per-Click, or Cost-Per-Lead basis.

To date, we have focused our efforts and investments on developing and delivering superior products and user experiences, attracting consumers and real estate professionals to our marketplace, selling our products and growing our revenue. We intend to continue to spend significantly on technology and engineering in order to further improve the experience of our users and offer the most comprehensive end-to-end marketing and customer relationship management solutions for real estate professionals.

We believe that the growth of our business and our future success are dependent upon many factors including our ability to increase our audience size and user engagement, grow the number of our paying subscribers, increase the value of our advertising and software-as-a-service products, achieve the anticipated benefits of the Market Leader acquisition, and successfully invest in our growth. While each of these areas presents significant opportunities for us, they also pose important challenges that we must successfully address in order to sustain the growth of our business and improve our operating results. We also expect that our efforts to maintain or increase consumer traffic and subscribers are likely to include, among other things, significant increases to our marketing spending and significant expenditures to increase the number of our engineering and product development personnel. In February 2014, we announced a national marketing campaign that is designed to attract serious home buyers and sellers to our marketplace.

Acquisition of Market Leader, Inc.

On August 20, 2013 we completed the acquisition of Market Leader, Inc., or Market Leader, for approximately $372.7 million, including 4,412,489 million shares of our common stock valued at $189.3 million, and $170.5 million in cash and assumed Market Leader equity awards valued at $26.7 million, $12.9 million of which was included in the purchase price and the remaining amount is subject to post-acquisition service requirement and will be expensed prospectively. Market Leader is a provider of software-as-a-service based customer relationship management software for the real estate sector. We acquired Market Leader to help accelerate our growth, including by expanding our product portfolio for real estate professionals and increasing our subscriber base.

Convertible Senior Notes

On December 17, 2013 we issued $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2020, or the 2020 Notes, which included a $30.0 million of principal amount issued pursuant to an option to purchase additional notes granted to the initial purchasers. The aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes is due on December 15, 2020. We received net proceeds of $222.4 million, after deducting offering expenses of $7.6 million payable by us. Interest began to accrue on December 17, 2013 and is payable semi-annually every June 15 and December 15, starting on June 15, 2014. We may not redeem the 2020 Notes prior to December 20, 2018. We may redeem the 2020 Notes, at our option, in whole or in part on or after December 20, 2018, if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period. Holders of the notes may convert all or portion all or any portion of their notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. The notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 27.8303 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustment in certain events.

Key Business Metrics

To analyze our business performance, determine financial forecasts, and help develop long-term strategic plans, we review the key business metrics below.

 

    Monthly Unique Visitors . We count a unique visitor the first time a computer or mobile device with a unique IP address accesses trulia.com (including our Trulia blogs), any of our more than 134,000 agent websites powered by Market Leader, or our mobile websites and applications during a calendar month. If an individual accesses any of the websites or mobile applications using different IP addresses within a given month, the first access by each such IP address is counted as a separate unique visitor. If an individual accesses more than any one of our websites in a single month, the first access to each website is counted as a separate unique user since unique users are tracked separately for each domain. Our number of monthly unique visitors includes mobile monthly unique visitors. We calculate our monthly unique visitors based on the monthly average over the applicable period. The third quarter of 2013 was the first quarter in which we included our consumer facing blogs in our monthly unique visitor count, and starting in March 2014 of the first quarter of 2014 we began including all other blogs in our monthly unique visitor count. Traffic to our blogs represented less than 1% of our monthly unique visitors in the three months ended March 31, 2014. As a result, we have not recalculated our monthly unique visitor count for the three months ended March 31, 2013. We view monthly unique visitors as a key indicator of the growth in our business and audience reach, the quality of our products, and the strength of our brand awareness. In the three months ended March 31, 2014, the total number of monthly unique visitors increased to 44.6 million from 31.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013, a 42% increase. We attribute the growth in our monthly unique visitors principally to our increasing brand awareness, the popularity of our mobile products, the overall industry trend of more consumers using the web and mobile applications to research housing decisions.

    Mobile Monthly Unique Visitors . We count a unique mobile visitor the first time a mobile device with a unique IP address accesses trulia.com (including our Trulia blogs starting March 2014), any of our more than 134,000 agent websites powered by Market Leader, or our mobile websites and applications during a calendar month. We calculate our mobile monthly unique visitors based on the monthly average over the applicable period. These mobile monthly unique visitors are included in our monthly unique visitors metric. We view mobile monthly unique visitors as a key indicator of the growth in our business and audience reach, and believe that having more unique visitors using our mobile applications will drive faster growth in our revenue. We plan to expand our mobile products to support our rapidly growing mobile user base. In the three months ended March 31, 2014, the number of mobile monthly unique visitors increased to 19.0 million from 11.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013, a 68% increase. We attribute this growth to the overall adoption of smartphones and the growth of mobile applications and mobile web use by consumers. We also attribute the growth in our mobile monthly unique visitors to our increased efforts in developing a mobile website and mobile applications. Due to the significant growth rate of usage of our mobile products and solutions, our mobile monthly unique visitors has grown as a percentage of our monthly unique visitors over recent periods and we expect this trend to continue.

 

    New Contributions to User-Generated Content . We define user-generated content as any content contributed by a user through trulia.com, or Trulia’s mobile websites or applications, such as Q&A discussions, blogs, blog comments, user votes, recommendations, and neighborhood ratings and reviews. We view the changes in the volume of new contributions to user-generated content as a key indicator of our user engagement and the strength of our community. In the three months ended March 31, 2014, new contributions to user-generated content increased by approximately 1.3 million contributions, and we now have over 13.1 million cumulative contributions on our marketplace. We expect new contributions to user-generated content to continue to grow as our monthly unique visitors and total subscribers grow and as we introduce new features to trulia.com and our Trulia mobile websites and applications. While the absolute number of new contributions to user-generated content may continue to grow period-over-period, the rate of growth has slowed and we expect that the rate of growth may continue to slow as the aggregate size of our user-generated content increases. We believe the slowing growth rate of new contributions to user-generated content is a function of the large historical number of new contributions to user-generated content on our marketplace, which makes achievement of increasing rates of growth more challenging. We continue to focus on promoting new contributions to user-generated content to increase the engagement of our users with our marketplace.

Table of Contents
    Total Subscribers . We define a subscriber as a real estate professional with a paid subscription at the end of a period. This includes agents using our premium software-as-a-service product under a licensed purchased by their brokerage. Total subscribers has been, and we expect will continue to be, a key driver of revenue growth. It is also an indicator of our market penetration, the value of our products, and the attractiveness of our consumer audience to real estate professionals. As of March 31, 2014, we had approximately 66,700 total subscribers, a 139% increase from 27,920 total subscribers as of March 31, 2013, assuming a 20% overlap between Trulia and Market Leader. We attribute the growth in our total subscribers to our increasing sales and marketing efforts, principally from the launch and growth of our inside sales team, as well as growth in monthly unique visitors. Although our total subscribers are growing period-over-period and we expect total subscribers to continue to grow, the rate of growth may slow as we increase efforts to sell more products to existing subscribers. In addition, subscribers often purchase subscriptions for limited periods as a result of seasonality, as part of their advertising campaigns, and other factors.

 

    Average Monthly Revenue per Subscriber . We calculate our average monthly revenue per subscriber by dividing the revenue generated from subscriptions of our lead generation products and our software as a service products in a period by the average number of subscribers in the period, divided again by the number of months in the period. Our average number of subscribers is calculated by taking the average of the beginning and ending number of subscribers for the period, and assumes a 20% overlap between Trulia and Market Leader. Our average monthly revenue per subscriber is a key indicator of our ability to monetize our marketplace and the performance of our software as a service subscription products for real estate professionals, and we monitor changes in this metric to measure the effectiveness of our monetization strategy. As our new and existing subscribers mature, we have been able to increase our average monthly revenue per subscriber by launching new products to sell to these customers, redesigning existing products to expand inventory in high demand zip codes, raising prices in certain geographic markets, and selling to existing subscribers the additional advertising inventory created by traffic growth to our marketplace. In addition, in geographic markets that show strong demand for our Trulia subscription products—those where inventory is sold out and wait lists to purchase our products exist—average monthly revenue per subscriber is higher than in markets with less demand for these products. While our average monthly revenue per subscriber has increased and may continue to increase in absolute dollars year-over-year, the rate of increase has slowed and we expect that the rate of increase may continue to slow. We believe that the slowing growth rate of our average monthly revenue per subscriber is the result of the consolidation of the historically lower Market Leader average monthly revenue per subscriber into this key business metric, our larger subscriber base and the resulting challenge associated with achieving higher growth rates and our efforts to introduce new, lower priced, entry level lead generation products to attract new subscribers. Despite this slowing growth rate, we believe we have significant opportunities to continue to increase average monthly revenue per subscriber by further penetrating markets and by offering new products to existing subscribers.

Our key business metrics are as follows:

Components of Statements of Operations

Revenue

Our revenue is comprised of Marketplace revenue and Media revenue.

Marketplace Revenue. Marketplace revenue primarily consists of products and services sold to real estate professionals, including agents, brokers, agents of property managers, builders, and mortgage lenders on a fixed fee subscription, Cost Per Click (“CPC”), or Cost Per Lead (“CPL”) basis. We currently sell four sets of products to real estate professionals on a subscription basis. The first set of products, which includes Trulia Local Ads and Trulia Mobile Ads , enables real estate professionals to promote themselves on our search results pages and property details pages for a local market area. Real estate professionals purchase subscriptions to these products based upon their specified market share for a city or zip code, at a fixed monthly price, for periods ranging from one month to one year, with pricing depending on demand, location, and the percentage of market share purchased. Our second set of products allows real estate professionals to receive prominent placement of their listings in our search results. Real estate professionals sign up for new subscriptions to this product at a fixed monthly price for periods that generally range from 1 month to 24 months. Our third set of products includes Trulia Seller Ads that enables real estate professionals to generate leads from consumers interested in selling their homes. Our fourth set of products is our comprehensive premium software-as-a-service based marketing products typically sold to real estate professionals as a bundle of products under a fixed fee subscription. We also sell a base version of these products to strategic franchise networks for specified contractual amounts over a number of years and partner with them to drive adoption of our premium solution across their network.

Media Revenue. Media revenue primarily consists of display advertising sold on a Cost per Thousand (“CPM”), CPC, and CPL basis to advertisers promoting their brand on trulia.com, our mobile website, m.trulia.com and our partners websites (cumulatively “Trulia Websites”). Impressions are the number of times an advertisement is loaded on a web page and clicks are the number of times users click on an advertisement. Revenue is recognized in the periods the clicks or impressions are delivered. Pricing is primarily based on advertisement size and position on the Trulia Websites and fees are generally billed monthly. As our mobile web pages and mobile applications offer less space on which to display advertising, a shift in user traffic from our websites to mobile products could decrease our advertising inventory and negatively affect our Media revenue. We do not believe that we have experienced a shift in user traffic from our websites to our mobile applications, as our monthly unique visitors and mobile monthly unique visitors each continued to grow at a rapid pace.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we recognized marketplace revenue and media revenue as follows:

 

     Three months ended March 31,  
     2014      2013  

Marketplace Revenue

   $ 45,750       $ 17,959   

Media Revenue

   $ 8,739       $ 6,043   

Cost and Operating Expenses

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue consists primarily of expenses related to operating our websites and mobile applications, including those associated with the operation of our data centers and customer websites, hosting fees, customer service related headcount expenses including salaries, bonuses, benefits and compensation paid in stock, cost to generate leads for customers, licensed content, multiple listing services fees, revenue sharing costs, credit card processing fees, third-party contractor fees, and allocated overhead.

Technology and Development. Technology and development expenses consist primarily of headcount related expenses including salaries, bonuses, benefits and compensation paid in stock, third-party contractor fees, and allocated overhead primarily associated with developing new technologies. Technology and development also includes amortization expenses related to capitalized costs from internal and external development activities for our marketplace.

 

22


Table of Contents

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of headcount-related expenses including salaries, bonuses, commissions, benefits and compensation paid in stock for sales, customer service, marketing, and public relations employees; advertising expenses and third-party contractor fees. Sales and marketing expenses also include other sales expenses related to promotional and marketing activities, and allocated overhead.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of headcount related expenses including salaries, bonuses, and benefits and compensation paid in stock for executive, finance, accounting, legal, human resources, recruiting, and administrative support personnel. General and administrative expenses also include legal, accounting, and other third-party professional service fees, bad debt, and allocated overhead costs.

Interest Income

Interest income consists primarily of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of interest on our outstanding long-term debt and capital lease obligations. See Note 6 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information about our long-term debt.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes has not been historically significant to our business as we have incurred operating losses to date.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. Preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. In many instances, we could have reasonably used different accounting estimates, and in other instances changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period-to-period. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected. We believe that the accounting policies discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, which include estimates for revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill, impairment of long-lived assets, product development costs, compensation paid in stock, income taxes, accounting for business combination, useful lives and recoverability of the purchased intangible assets, and contingencies are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the critical areas involving our judgments and estimates, and as such, the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted to exclude interest income, interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, compensation paid in stock, and certain other infrequently occurring items that we do not believe are indicative of ongoing results (such as acquisition related costs). Below, we have provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to our net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other organizations because other organizations may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner as we calculate the measure.

We include Adjusted EBITDA in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because it is an important measure upon which our management assesses our operating performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure because we believe it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences primarily caused by variations in capital structures, tax positions, the impact of depreciation and amortization expense on our fixed assets, and the impact of compensation paid in stock. Because Adjusted EBITDA facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we also use Adjusted EBITDA for business planning purposes, to incentivize and compensate our management personnel, and in evaluating acquisition opportunities. In addition, we believe Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts, ratings agencies, and other parties in evaluating companies in our industry as a measure of financial performance and debt-service capabilities.

Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

 

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures for capital equipment or other contractual commitments;

 

    Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect capital expenditure requirements for such replacements;

 

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

 

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our indebtedness; and

 

    Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as a comparative measure.

In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these expenses or any unusual or non-recurring items. When evaluating our performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including our net loss and other GAAP results.

Revenue increased to $54.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $24.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $30.5 million, or 127%. Marketplace revenue and Media revenue represented 84% and 16%, respectively, of total revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to 75% and 25%, respectively, of total revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in total revenue was primarily attributable to the revenue from our acquisition of Market Leader in August 2013, the growth in our subscriber base, the growth in sales of our mobile subscription products, an increase in the average revenue per subscriber, growth in our monthly unique visitors, and the introduction of our new product Trulia Seller Ads .

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we recognized Marketplace revenue and Media revenue as follows:

Marketplace revenue increased to $45.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $18.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $27.8 million, or 155%. This increase was primarily attributable to the revenue from our acquisition of Market Leader in August 2013, the growth in our subscriber base, the growth in sales of our mobile subscription product, an increase in the average revenue per subscriber, and the introduction of the Trulia Seller Ads product.

Overall our subscriber base grew by 139% to approximately 66,700 subscribers as of March 31, 2014 from 27,920 subscribers as of March 31, 2013. However, we estimate that there was a 20% overlap of subscribers between Trulia and Market Leader for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Our mobile subscription product for agents, Trulia Mobile Ads, and our new product Trulia Seller Ads contributed to Marketplace revenue growth in the three months ended March 31, 2014. The average monthly revenue per

subscriber increased from $187 in the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $196 in the three months ended March 31, 2014, largely due to increased sales of our Trulia Local Ads and Trulia Mobile Ads products in our high demand zip codes as a result of monetization improvement of these products.

Media revenue increased to $8.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $6.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $2.7 million, or 45%. This increase continues to be driven by strong year over year growth in our monthly unique visitors, which increased from 31.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 to 44.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of 42%.

The increase was primarily due to a $3.1 million increase in labor and facilities related costs, including compensation paid in stock, largely as a result of a 123% increase in headcount in the three months ended March 31, 2014, driven primarily by the acquisition of Market Leader. Also, $2.2 million of the increase was related to marketing and advertising activities.

The increase was primarily due to a $5.6 million increase in labor and facilities related costs, including compensation paid in stock, largely as a result of a 105% increase in headcount in the three months ended March 31, 2014, driven primarily by the acquisition of Market Leader. Also, $1.2 million of the increase was related to the amortization of the intangible assets acquired in the Market Leader transaction, and $287,000 of the increase was related to the compensation paid in stock for the performance-based awards granted to certain employees in connection with this business combination.

The increase was primarily due to a $3.6 million increase in labor and facilities related costs, including stock-based compensation, largely as a result of a 100% increase in headcount in the three months ended March 31, 2014, driven primarily by the acquisition of Market Leader. Also, $1.5 million of the increase was related to the compensation paid in stock for the performance-based awards granted to certain employees in connection with the Market Leader acquisition, and $1.1 million of the increase was related to the amortization of the intangible assets acquired in this business combination.

Interest expense increased to $1.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $236,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $1.6 million, or 674%. The increase is primarily related to the 2020 Notes that we issued in December 2013, which accrue interest at 2.75% annually.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2014, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $220.8 million, which consisted of bank deposits and money market funds.

On December 17, 2013 we issued $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes, which included a $30 million of principal amount issued pursuant to an option to purchase additional notes granted to the initial purchasers. The aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes is due on December 15, 2020. We received net proceeds of $222.4 million after deducting offering expenses of $7.6 million.

On March 20, 2013, we completed our follow-on public offering pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 3,500,000 shares of our common stock, at a public offering price of $29.75 per share, resulting in aggregate net proceeds to us of $98.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us. On March 26, 2013, we sold an additional 525,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the exercise by the underwriters of an option to purchase additional shares, at a

Table of Contents

public offering price of $29.75 per share, resulting in aggregate net proceeds to us of $14.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us. In addition, another 3,117,311 shares were sold by certain selling stockholders, which included 406,606 shares sold pursuant to the exercise by the underwriters of an option to purchase additional shares. We did not receive any proceeds from sales by the selling stockholders.

Prior to our follow-on public offering and our 2020 Notes offering, our operations were financed primarily by the net proceeds of $89.4 million from our initial public offering in September 2012 and $10.0 million in proceeds from the issuance of indebtedness from a credit facility. We repaid in full the outstanding balance of the credit facility in December 2013 with the net proceeds received from issuance of the 2020 Notes.

We have incurred cumulative losses of $80.0 million from our operations to date, and expect to incur additional losses in the future. We believe that our cash balances and the cash flows generated by operations will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. However, our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the cash that may be used in connection with acquisitions or other investments, the expansion of our sales and marketing activities, and the timing and extent of our spending to support our technology and development efforts. To the extent that existing cash and cash equivalents, and cash from operations are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. Additional funds may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all.

Cash Flows

   $ 320      $ 115,200   

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $8.6 million. The cash flows from our net loss were increased by our non-cash operating activities and net cash flows provided through changes in certain of our operating assets and liabilities. Specifically, we recognized non-cash charges of $6.3 million for depreciation and amortization of our property and equipment and $9.8 million for compensation paid in stock. We also recognized changes in operating assets and liabilities which provided $7.5 million of cash from operating activities. The primary driver of the changes in our operating assets and liabilities was a $4.1 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets driven by the receipt of our tenant improvement allowance for our Bellevue lease; and a $2.7 million increase in accrued liabilities primarily due to the overall growth in our business during the year. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities were also affected by a decrease in accounts receivable of $0.7 million due to improved collectability; a decrease in accounts payable of $0.9 million due to the timing of payments made; and an increase in deferred revenue of $1.0 million primarily due to the timing of collections.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities of $13.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were mainly due to a $4.8 million increase in our restricted cash balance primarily related to our new lease in San Francisco and an $8.9 million increase in purchases of property and equipment.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $320,000 million were primarily comprised of $1.7 million proceeds from the exercise of stock options by our employees that were partially offset by $1.4 million of value of equity awards withheld for tax liability.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

On March 10, 2014, we entered into a lease agreement (the “Lease”) for 52,595 square feet of office space at 535 Mission Street in San Francisco. The term of the Lease is approximately 107 months and is scheduled to commence on November 1, 2014, or the date that the landlord substantially completes the construction of our new facility. We will also obtain the right to occupy an additional 26,682 square feet of office space commencing in October 2015. Furthermore, we have options to lease up to an aggregate of approximately 40,000 square feet of additional office space under the Lease. Future minimum lease payments under the Lease will range from $182,000 per month to $347,000 per month. Once we occupy this office space, it will become our new principal executive office and will replace 116 New Montgomery Street in San Francisco. To secure our lease obligation we were required to enter into a secured letter of credit arrangement with a financial institution for the amount of $3.8 million. This deposit is classified as restricted cash in our balance sheet as of March 31, 2014.

On April 10, 2014, we entered into a lease agreement for 64,908 square feet of office space in the Denver metropolitan area. The term of the lease is approximately 90 calendar months and is scheduled to commence on May 1, 2014. The lease agreement calls for escalating rent payments over the 90 calendar months and allows for six full months of rent abatement. Future minimum lease payments range from $124,000 per month to $141,000 per month. In connection with this lease agreement we were required to enter into a secured letter of credit arrangement with a financial institution for the amount of $1.1 million to secure our lease obligation. This deposit is classified as restricted cash in our balance sheet as of March 31, 2014.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements and do not have any holdings in variable interest entities.

Segment Information

We have one business activity and operate in one reportable segment.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include interest rate sensitivities as follows:

Interest Rate Risk

We had cash and cash equivalents of $220.8 million as of March 31, 2014, which consists of bank deposits and money market funds. Such interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. To date, fluctuations in interest income have not been significant. We also had the $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes outstanding as of March 31, 2014, due on December 15, 2020. The 2020 Notes carry an interest rate of 2.75% per year.

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing income without significantly increasing risk. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes and have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk exposure. Due to the short-term nature of our investments, we have not been exposed to, nor do we anticipate being exposed to, material risks due to changes in interest rates. The interest rate on our outstanding debt is variable. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates during any of the periods presented would not have had a material impact on our financial statements.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. We have received, and may in the future continue to receive, claims from third parties asserting, among other things, infringement of their intellectual property rights.

Merger Litigation

Following the announcement that we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire Market Leader, purported class action law suits brought on behalf of all Market Leader shareholders contesting the merger were filed in King County Superior Court and then consolidated under the caption In re Market Leader Inc. Shareholders’ Litigation, No. 13-2-20796-6 SEA (the “Merger Litigation”). On July 15, 2013, a superseding Consolidated Class Action Complaint (“Consolidated Complaint”), was filed, alleging that Market Leader’s board of directors breached its fiduciary duties by failing to maximize shareholder value or to engage in a fair sale process before approving the proposed acquisition of Market Leader by Trulia. The Consolidated Complaint also alleged that the defendants, including us and Mariner Acquisition Corp., our wholly owned subsidiary, failed to provide Market Leader shareholders with material information regarding the merger in the proxy statement and related public filings. The Consolidated Complaint further alleged that Market Leader, Trulia and Mariner Acquisition Corp. aided and abetted the Market Leader directors’ breaches of fiduciary duty. The Consolidated Complaint sought an injunction prohibiting the consummation of the merger, rescission to the extent the merger terms have already been implemented, damages for the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty, and payment of plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and costs. On August 5, 2013, the parties entered into a memorandum of understanding to settle the Merger Litigation and resolve all allegations against Market Leader and the other defendants. The settlement provided for the release of all claims against the defendants relating to the merger, including those alleged in the Consolidated Complaint. Lead counsel for the consolidated action applied to the court for an award of fees and reimbursement of costs incurred in connection with the Merger Litigation. Market Leader agreed not to oppose the application for an award of fees and reimbursement of costs up to $350,000. On December 23, 2013, the court entered an order preliminarily approving the settlement, and on March 7, 2014, a final order approving the settlement was issued.

Zillow Litigation

On September 12, 2012, Zillow filed a lawsuit against us in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, alleging that we infringe on one U.S. patent held by it (the “’764 Patent”). The lawsuit alleges that one component of our Trulia Estimates feature infringes Zillow’s patent insofar as Trulia Estimates allows homeowners to claim their homes and provide additional information about the properties, which enables us to update the valuation estimates for such properties. We started offering our Trulia Estimates feature in 2011. Zillow is seeking a permanent injunction against the alleged infringement, compensatory damages, and attorneys’ fees. On September 11, 2013, we filed a petition for covered business method patent review with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”). Also, on September 12, 2013, we filed a motion to stay pending the PTO’s review. The district court granted our motion to stay on October 7, 2013, and this matter is now stayed. On March 10, 2014, the PTO granted our petition and instituted the covered business method patent review. Separately, on March 27, 2014, the PTO ruled in an inter partes review proceeding brought by a different company that the majority of the claims of the ‘764 Patent were invalid. We believe we have meritorious defenses against Zillow’s claims and we intend to vigorously defend the claims against us.

Current and future litigation may be necessary to defend ourselves, our partners and our customers by determining the scope, enforceability, and validity of third-party proprietary rights or to establish our proprietary rights. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties including those described below. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we

 

31


Table of Contents

currently believe are not material, also may become important factors that affect us. If any of the following risks or others not specified below materialize, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In that case, the market price of our common stock could decline.

We have a limited operating history in an evolving industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful.

We have a limited operating history in an evolving industry that may not develop as expected. Assessing our business and future prospects is challenging in light of the risks and difficulties we may encounter. These risks and difficulties include our ability to:

 

    increase the number of consumers using our websites and mobile applications;

 

    continue to obtain home listing information, as well as information on schools, crime, commute times, neighborhood amenities, rental prices and historical earthquake and flood data;

 

    increase the number of real estate professionals subscribing to our products;

 

    increase the revenue from real estate professionals subscribing to our products;

 

    increase the revenue from advertisers on our websites;

 

    successfully develop and deploy new features and products;

 

    encourage and foster the growth of user-generated content;

 

    increase our brand awareness among consumers and real estate professionals;

 

    successfully compete with other companies that are currently in, or may in the future enter, the business of providing residential real estate information online and on mobile applications, as well as with companies that provide this information offline;

 

    successfully compete with existing and future providers of other forms of offline, online, and mobile advertising;

 

    successfully compete with existing and future providers of customer relationship management (CRM) tools and other solutions that help real estate professionals manage and grow their businesses;

 

    successfully navigate fluctuations in the real estate market;

 

    effectively manage the growth of our business;

 

    successfully expand our business into adjacent markets, such as rentals, mortgages, and home improvement;

 

    successfully integrate companies we may acquire or have acquired, including Market Leader; and

 

    successfully expand internationally.

If the demand for residential real estate information online does not develop as we expect, or if we fail to address the needs of consumers, real estate professionals, or advertisers, our business will be harmed. We may not be able to successfully address these risks and difficulties, which could harm our business and cause our operating results to suffer.

We have a history of losses and we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

We have not been profitable on a quarterly or annual basis since we were founded, and as of March 31, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $80.0 million. We expect to make significant future investments in the development and expansion of our business which may not result in increased revenue or growth. In addition, as a public company, we have incurred and expect that we will continue to incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. As a result of these increased expenditures, we must generate and sustain increased revenue to achieve and maintain future profitability. While our revenue has grown in recent periods, this growth may not be sustainable and we may not achieve sufficient revenue to achieve or maintain profitability. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including slowing demand for our products, a decrease in the growth rate of our monthly unique visitors, increasing competition, weakness in the residential real estate market, our inability to effectively integrate acquired businesses, such as Market Leader, as well as other risks described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays, and other unknown factors. Accordingly, we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability and we may continue to incur significant losses in the future, and this could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

If real estate professionals do not continue to subscribe to our products, or we are unable to attract new subscribers, our business and operating results would be harmed.

We rely primarily on subscriptions purchased by real estate professionals to generate a substantial portion of our marketplace revenue. Marketplace revenue accounted for 84%, 79%, and 70% of our revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2014, and the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We generally offer subscriptions for periods between one month to 24 months, with most real estate professionals preferring to subscribe for periods shorter than 12 months. Our ability to attract and retain real estate professionals as subscribers, and to generate subscription revenue, depends on a number of factors, including:

 

    our ability to attract transaction-ready consumers to our websites and mobile applications;

 

32


Table of Contents
    the number of unique visitors using our websites and mobile applications;

 

    the quality of the leads that we provide to our subscribers;

 

    the number of leads that we provide to our subscribers;

 

    the rate of adoption of our software-as-a-service based products;

 

    the success of our marketing relationships with leading national real estate franchise networks;

 

    the success of our efforts to upsell customers from promotional offers to higher revenue services;

 

    the success of any increased marketing and product development efforts directed at attracting additional consumers and real estate professionals to our marketplace;

 

    the strength of the real estate market;

 

    the competition for real estate professionals’ marketing dollars; and

 

    the strength of our brand.

A key focus of our sales and marketing activities has been to further penetrate the large base of more than 2.8 million real estate professionals in the United States. As of March 31, 2014, we had more than 470,000 active real estate professionals in our Trulia marketplace and 165,000 active real estate professionals using our Market Leader software and services. Approximately 66,700 of these real estate professionals were paying subscribers (assuming a 20% overlap between Trulia subscribers and Market Leader’s premium subscribers). We spend a considerable portion of our operating expenses on sales and marketing activities. Our sales and marketing expenses were our largest operating expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Sales and marketing expenses reflect many of the costs that we incur in acquiring new subscribers and retaining existing subscribers, and we expect that sales and marketing expenses will continue to significantly increase in absolute dollars as we seek to grow the number of subscribers in our marketplace. If we are unable to increase the number of total subscribers in our marketplace, our revenue may not grow and our operating results could suffer.

Real estate professionals may not continue to subscribe with us if we do not deliver a strong return on their investment in subscriptions, and we may not be able to replace them with new subscribers. In addition, real estate professionals associated with our real estate franchise network partners may choose not to use our premium services if they are unable to convert leads we provide into closed sales, resulting in a loss of incremental revenue associated with our premium services. In addition, real estate professionals sometimes do not renew their subscriptions with us because of dissatisfaction with our products. This may occur for a number of reasons, including because we have made changes to our products or services, which we do periodically. If subscribers do not renew their subscriptions with us with the same or higher subscription fees, or at all, or if we are unable to attract new subscribers, our business and operating results would be harmed.

Further, although a majority of our revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was generated from subscriptions purchased by real estate professionals, we cannot be certain that subscribers will renew their subscriptions with us and that we will be able to achieve the same or higher amounts of subscription revenue in the future.

Our ability to increase the number of subscribers to our services also depends, to some degree, on whether we can increase the inventory of marketing products and services available for us to sell in different geographic markets. If we are unable to create additional inventory by offering new services or reconfiguring our existing services, we may not be able to grow the number of subscribers to our services quickly or at all. Even if we are able to offer new services or reconfigure our existing services, there can be no assurance that new subscribers will purchase them or existing subscribers will be satisfied with the changes we make. For instance, in March 2013 we initiated an inventory expansion program offering additional advertising slots on our real estate listing detail pages to feature more than one subscriber. While this allowed us to sell additional subscriptions in a given location, some existing subscribers were dissatisfied with the change and elected not to renew their subscriptions.

In addition, if we need to reduce our subscription fees due to competition, our business, operating results, financial condition, and prospects would suffer if we are unable to offset any reductions in our fees by increasing our number of consumers and advertisers, reducing our costs, or successfully developing and deploying new features on a timely basis.

If we are not able to optimize our pricing and increase our average revenue per subscriber, we may not be able to grow our revenue over time.

Our ability to grow revenue depends, in part, on our ability to optimize pricing and increase average monthly revenue per subscriber over time. Since launching our first subscription product in 2007, we have continued to expand our products and optimize

 

33


Table of Contents

pricing of our products. As we continue to optimize our pricing, real estate professionals may not accept these new prices, which may harm our business and growth prospects. In August 2013, we acquired Market Leader, which offers subscription-based real estate marketing software and lead generation products. Market Leader historically generated lower average revenue per subscriber than us. As a result, we may experience difficulty in increasing our average revenue per subscriber, which may impact our ability to grow revenue over time and may harm our business and growth prospects.

If advertisers reduce or end their advertising spending with us, or if we are unable to attract new advertisers, our business and operating results would be harmed.

Display advertising accounted for 16%, 21%, and 30% of our revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2014, and the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our advertisers can generally terminate their contracts with us at any time or on very short notice. Our ability to attract and retain advertisers, and to generate advertising revenue, depends on a number of factors, including:

 

    the number of consumers using our websites and mobile applications;

 

    our ability to continue to attract an audience that advertisers find attractive;

 

    the strength of our brand:

 

    our ability to compete effectively for advertising spending with other real estate marketplaces, offline companies, and online companies;

 

    how advertisers value our advertising network, which consists of our online properties and those of our publishing partners;

 

    the amount of spending on online advertising generally; and

 

    our ability to deliver an attractive return on investment to advertisers.

In addition, expenditures by advertisers tend to be cyclical, reflecting overall economic conditions and budgeting and buying patterns. Adverse macroeconomic conditions can also have a material impact on demand for advertising and cause our advertisers to reduce the amounts they spend on advertising, which could adversely affect our revenues and our business.

We may not succeed in capturing more spending from advertisers if we are unable to demonstrate to advertisers the effectiveness of advertising in our marketplace as compared to alternatives, including traditional offline advertising media such as newspapers and magazines.

If advertisers reduce or terminate their advertising spending with us and we are unable to attract new advertisers, our revenue, business, operating results, and financial condition would be harmed. In our display advertising business, we also have a limited ability to replace the loss of revenue resulting from the loss of a customer during a particular quarter because of the significant time required to secure an alternative advertiser for such advertising inventory, run the alternative advertising campaign on our marketplace, and satisfy our revenue recognition criteria from such campaign. As a result, the loss of a customer during a quarter could result in our inability to replace the lost revenue from such customer within that quarter and, therefore, we will sometimes encounter variances in our Media revenue.

If we are unable to maintain or increase consumer traffic to our marketplace, our business and operating results would be harmed.

Our ability to generate revenue from our marketplace business and media business depends, in part, on our ability to attract consumers to our websites and mobile applications. If we fail to maintain or increase consumer traffic to our marketplace, our ability to acquire additional subscribers, deliver leads to existing subscribers, and sell advertising to third parties could be negatively affected. While we believe the number of consumers visiting our marketplace will continue to grow, our growth rate of monthly unique visitors has decreased on a year-over-year basis from 52% in the three months ended March 31, 2013 to 42% in the three months ended March 31, 2014. We expect that our efforts to maintain or increase consumer traffic are likely to include, among other things, significant increases to our marketing expenditures and significant expenditures to increase the number of our engineering and product development personnel. There can be no assurance that any increases in our expenses will be successful in generating additional consumer traffic. Even if we are able to attract additional consumers to our marketplace, an increase in our operating expenses could negatively impact our operating results if we are unable to generate more revenue through increased sales of subscriptions to our marketplace products and display advertising. Accordingly, if we are unable to increase consumer traffic to our marketplace, or if we are unable to generate enough additional revenue to offset any increase in expenses related to increasing consumer traffic to our marketplace, our business and operating results would be harmed.

Our recent revenue growth rates may not be indicative of our future growth, and we may not continue to grow at our recent pace, or at all.

From the year ended 2008 to the year ended December 31, 2013, our revenue grew from $8.1 million to $143.7 million, which represents a compounded annual growth rate of approximately 78%. In the future, our revenue may not grow as rapidly as it has over the past several years. We believe that our future revenue growth will depend, among other factors, on our ability to:

 

    acquire additional subscribers and sell additional products to existing subscribers;

 

    sell advertising to third parties;

 

    attract a growing number of users to our websites and mobile applications;

 

    increase our brand awareness;

 

    successfully develop and deploy new products for the residential real estate industry;

 

    maximize our sales personnel’s productivity;

 

    respond effectively to competitive threats;

 

    successfully expand our business into adjacent markets, such as rentals and mortgages;

 

    successfully integrate companies we may acquire or have acquired, including Market Leader; and

 

    successfully expand internationally.

We may not be successful in our efforts to do any of the foregoing, and any failure to be successful in these matters could materially and adversely affect our revenue growth.

You should not consider our past revenue growth to be indicative of our future growth.

We may experience difficulties in integrating Market Leader’s business and realizing the expected benefits of the acquisition.

The success of the Market Leader acquisition will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated business opportunities and growth prospects from combining our businesses with those of Market Leader. We may never realize these business opportunities and growth prospects. Integrating operations will be complex and will require significant efforts and expenditures. Our management might have its attention diverted while trying to integrate operations and corporate and administrative infrastructures. We might experience increased competition that limits our ability to expand our business, and we might fail to capitalize on expected business opportunities, including retaining current customers.

We closed the acquisition of Market Leader on August 20, 2013, and are in the early stages of integrating Market Leader’s business and operations into our business and operations. The integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of each company’s ongoing businesses, tax costs or inefficiencies, or inconsistencies in standards, controls, information technology systems, procedures and policies, any of which could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with clients, employees or other third parties or our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Market Leader acquisition and could harm our financial performance.

If we are unable to successfully or timely integrate the operations of Market Leader’s business into our business, we may be unable to realize the revenue growth, synergies and other anticipated benefits resulting from the acquisition and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Purchase price accounting in connection with our acquisition of Market Leader requires estimates which may be subject to change in the future. Future changes to these estimates could impact our historical or future operating results.

The application of purchase price accounting requires that the total purchase price we paid for Market Leader be allocated to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the acquisition date. All amounts in excess of the fair value are recorded as goodwill. The allocation process requires an analysis and valuation of acquired assets, including fixed assets, technologies, deferred tax assets, customer contracts and relationships, trade names and liabilities assumed, including contractual commitments and legal contingencies. We identified and recorded the assets, including specifically identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed in connection with our recent acquisition of Market Leader at their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. This process requires estimates by our management based upon the best available information at the time of the preparation of the financial statements. These estimates of fair value may change in the future as we finalize the purchase price allocation. We expect it may take until August 2014 to complete the purchase price allocation. Any future changes to our estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Market Leader as of the date of the acquisition could impact our historical or future operating results.

If we cannot obtain comprehensive and accurate real estate listing information on a timely basis or at all, our business will suffer.

Our offerings are based on receiving current and accurate real estate listing data. We depend on, and expect to continue to depend on, relationships with various third parties to provide this data to us, including real estate listing aggregators, multiple listing services, real estate brokerages, apartment management companies, and other third parties. Many of our agreements with our listing sources are short-term agreements that may be terminated with limited or no notice. If our relationship with one or more of these parties is disrupted, the quality of the experience we provide to users would suffer.

We currently depend on a listing aggregator to provide us with a substantial portion of the unique listings in our database. While these listings are available from their original sources, it would take substantial time and effort for us to aggregate these listings from all of the original sources. Therefore, if the agreement with our largest listing aggregator is terminated, we may not be able to fully replace the listings in a timely manner or on terms favorable to us, or at all, which would adversely affect our business and operating results. In addition, as real estate brokers and multiple listing services typically control the distribution and use of listings, our business could suffer if real estate brokers or multiple listing services withheld listings from us or delayed the delivery of their listings to us. From time to time in the past, real estate brokers have refused to syndicate listings to us and multiple listing services have delayed the delivery of listings to us, and we cannot assure you this will not happen in the future. If real estate brokers or multiple listing services refuse to syndicate listings or delay such syndication to us, the quality of our products would suffer due to the decline of timely and accurate information, which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We rely on information from real estate multiple listing services provided by third parties that we do not control.

The websites we provide to our software-as-a-service based customers combine aerial maps and for sale home listings, including listings in most of the major metropolitan markets in the United States. In addition, in selected markets, including most of the major metropolitan markets in the United States, we provide customers with functionality that allows them to automatically email their prospective clients information about newly available homes that meet the prospective clients’ criteria. The for sale home listings information provided by our websites and the automated email functionality are supplied only in markets in which we, our broker customers, or the broker affiliated with our agent customers have a relationship with the local multiple listing service (MLS). Our agreements with MLSs to display property listings have short terms, or can be terminated by the MLSs, or, in some cases, the broker, with little notice. The success of our products depends in part on our continued ability to provide customers with MLS listings and data, as well as our ability to expand listings in markets in which it is not currently available. Our inability to obtain MLS listings and data will harm our business and operating results.

If use of our mobile products does not continue to grow or we are not able to successfully monetize them as we expect, our operating results could be harmed and our growth could be negatively affected.

Our future success depends in part on the continued growth in the use of our mobile products by our users and our ability to monetize them. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, our mobile products accounted for 43% of our total traffic, which has grown significantly since we launched our first subscription product for mobile devices in May 2012. We currently monetize our mobile offerings through our Trulia Mobile Ads subscription product for real estate professionals and through our mobile websites, including our Trulia mobile website and more than 134,000 agent websites powered by Market Leader. We monetize our mobile applications principally through our Trulia Mobile Ads subscription product through which real estate professionals can purchase local advertising on our mobile applications and our Trulia mobile website by zip code and by share of a given market. We also monetize mobile offerings through kwkly , a mobile software-as-a-service lead generation platform that provides home buyers with real-time access to property information on their Web-enabled phones, while at the same time connecting real estate professional customers of kwkly with those home buyers. We monetize our Trulia mobile website and Trulia mobile applications through the sale of display advertisements and we also provide our Trulia subscribers rotational placement in a local lead form that appears on certain pages of our Trulia mobile website and mobile applications. The use of mobile technology may not continue to grow at historical rates, and consumers may not continue to use mobile technology for real estate research. Further, mobile technology may not be accepted as a viable long-term platform for a number of reasons, including actual or perceived lack of security of information and possible disruptions of service or connectivity. In addition, traffic on our mobile applications may not continue to grow if we do not continue to innovate and introduce enhanced products on mobile platforms, or if users believe that our competitors offer superior mobile products. The growth of traffic on our mobile products may also slow or decline if our mobile applications are no longer compatible with operating systems such as iOS or Android, or the devices they support. Additionally, real estate professionals and advertisers may choose to devote less of their spending to target mobile users for a number of reasons, including a perceived lack of effectiveness of display advertising on mobile devices. Although we have seen strong results in our mobile product monetization efforts with the launch of Trulia Mobile Ads in May 2012 and our product redesign in March 2013, we cannot assure you that we will continue to monetize our mobile products as effectively in the future. If use of our mobile products does not continue to grow, or if real estate professionals or advertisers decrease their spending on our mobile products, our business and operating results could be harmed.

If we do not continue to innovate and provide useful products, we may not remain competitive, and our business and financial performance could suffer.

Our success depends in part on our ability to continue to innovate. This is particularly true with respect to mobile applications, which are increasingly being used by our audience. Our competitors regularly enhance their offerings and create new offerings for consumers, real estate professionals, and others involved in the residential real estate industry. If we are unable to continue to offer innovative products or to keep pace with our competitors’ offerings, our business and operating results will suffer.

We rely on Internet search engines to drive traffic to our websites, and if we fail to appear high up in the search results, our traffic would decline and our business would be adversely affected.

We depend in part on Internet search engines, such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo!, to drive traffic to our websites. For example, when a user types a property address into a search engine, we rely on a high organic search ranking of our webpages in these search results to refer the user to our websites. However, our ability to maintain high organic search result rankings is not within our control. Our competitors’ search engine optimization, or SEO, efforts may result in their websites receiving a higher search result page ranking than ours, or Internet search engines could revise their methodologies in a way that would adversely affect our search result rankings. If Internet search engines modify their search algorithms in ways that are detrimental to us, or if our competitors’ SEO efforts are more successful than ours, overall growth in our user base could slow. Search engine providers could provide listings and other real estate information directly in search results or choose to align with our competitors. Our websites have experienced fluctuations in search result rankings in the past, and we anticipate similar fluctuations in the future. Any reduction in the number of users directed to our websites through search engines could harm our business and operating results.

Our revenue and operating results could vary significantly from period to period, which could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

We generate revenue through sales of subscriptions to real estate professionals and sales of display advertising to advertisers. Our subscription and advertising sales can be difficult to predict and may result in fluctuations in our revenue from period to period. Our revenue and operating results have fluctuated in the past, and may continue to fluctuate in the future, as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. As a result, comparing our revenue and operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful, and you should not rely on past results as an indication of future performance.

Our revenue, operating results, or both, may be affected by a number of factors, including:

 

    our subscription and advertising sales, particularly large advertising campaigns;

 

    fluctuations in user activity on our websites and mobile applications, including as a result of seasonal variations;

 

    competition and the impact of offerings and pricing policies of our competitors;

 

    the effects of changes in search engine placement and prominence of our websites;

 

    the amount and timing of operating expenses related to the maintenance and expansion of our business, operations, and infrastructure;

 

    our ability to control costs, particularly those of third-party data providers;

 

    our ability to reduce costs in a given period to compensate for unexpected shortfalls in revenue;

 

    the timing of costs related to the development or acquisition of technologies or businesses;

 

    our inability to complete or integrate efficiently any acquisitions that we may undertake;

 

    our ability to collect amounts owed to us from advertisers;

 

    changes in our tax rates or exposure to additional tax liabilities;

 

    claims of intellectual property infringement against us and any resulting temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting us from selling our products or requirements to pay damages or expenses associated with any of those claims;

 

    our ability to successfully expand in existing markets and enter new markets;

 

    our ability to keep pace with changes in technology;

 

    changes in government regulation affecting our business;

 

    the effectiveness of our internal controls;

 

    conditions in the real estate market; and

 

    general economic conditions.

For example, individuals hired to join our sales team typically do not reach their maximum productivity until they have been employed for several months or more. Our fixed expenses related to the addition of personnel may not result in an increase in revenue in a given period or at all.

As a result of the foregoing factors and others discussed in this “Risk Factors” section, our operating results in one or more future periods may fail to meet or exceed our projections or the expectations of securities analysts or investors. In that event, the trading price of our common stock would likely decline.

Seasonality may cause fluctuations in our traffic, revenue, operating expenses and operating results.

From time to time, we experience seasonality in subscription revenue and display advertising due to fluctuations in traffic to our websites and mobile applications. During the fourth quarter of each year, traffic to our marketplace has historically declined and our revenue has historically grown more slowly than in other quarters or has declined sequentially. For example, we experienced a decrease in the number of unique visitors to our marketplace in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2013, due in part to seasonality. Conversely, we typically experience higher growth in traffic and revenue during the spring and summer months, when consumers are more likely to buy new homes. We expect that seasonality will continue to affect traffic in our marketplace, as well as our revenue from subscriptions and advertising.

We rely on advertising to attract consumers to our websites and to generate traffic and leads on these websites and for our Trulia Seller Ads product. As a result, we are subject to seasonal fluctuations in advertising rates and marketing services. Changing consumer behavior at various times throughout the year affects our advertising expenses. We expect that seasonal fluctuations in advertising costs will affect our operating expenses, as well as our operating margins.

Declines in, or changes to, the real estate industry could adversely affect our business and financial performance.

Our business and financial performance are affected by the health of, and changes to, the residential real estate industry. Although we have built and grown our business during a worldwide economic downturn, home-buying patterns are sensitive to economic conditions and tend to decline or grow more slowly during these periods. A decrease in home purchases could lead to reductions in user traffic, reductions in subscriptions by real estate professionals, and a decline in marketing spend by real estate professionals. Furthermore, online advertising products may be viewed by some existing and potential advertisers on our websites and mobile applications as a lower priority, which could cause advertisers to reduce the amounts they spend on advertising, terminate their use of our products, or default on their payment obligations to us. In addition, we may become subject to rules and regulations in the real estate industry that may restrict or complicate our ability to deliver our products. These changes would harm our business and operating results.

Most recently, beginning in 2008, domestic and global economic conditions deteriorated rapidly, resulting in a dramatic slowdown in the housing market, which slowed advertising spending in the real estate industry. In addition, changes to the regulation of the real estate industry and related areas, including mortgage lending and the deductibility of home mortgage interest, may negatively affect the prevalence of home purchases. Real estate markets also may be negatively impacted by a significant natural disaster, such as earthquake, fire, flood, or other disruption. Declines or disruptions in the real estate market or increases in mortgage interest rates could reduce demand for our products and could harm our business and operating results.

We participate in a highly competitive market, and pressure from existing and new companies may adversely affect our business and operating results.

The market to provide home listings and marketing services for the residential real estate industry is highly competitive and fragmented. Homes are not typically marketed exclusively through any single channel. Consumers can access home listings and related data through more than one source. Accordingly, current and potential competitors could aggregate a set of listings similar to ours. We compete with online real estate marketplaces, such as Zillow.com, and Realtor.com, other real estate websites, and traditional offline media. We compete to attract consumers primarily on the basis of the number and quality of listings; user experience; the breadth, depth, and relevance of insights and other content on homes, neighborhoods, and professionals; brand and reputation; and the quality of mobile products. We expect that our marketing and product development expenses are likely to significantly increase as we continue to seek to attract additional consumers and real estate professionals to our marketplace. For example, we recently announced a national marketing campaign that is designed to attract serious home buyers and sellers to our marketplace.

We compete to attract real estate professionals primarily on the basis of the quality of our websites and mobile products, the size and attractiveness of the consumer audience, the quality and measurability of the leads we generate, the perceived return on investment we deliver, and the effectiveness of marketing and workflow tools. We also compete for advertisers against other media, including print media, television and radio, social networks, search engines, other websites, and email marketing. We compete primarily on the basis of the size and attractiveness of the audience; pricing; and the ability to target desired audiences.

Many of our existing and potential competitors have substantial competitive advantages, such as:

 

    greater scale;

 

    stronger brands and greater name recognition;

 

    longer operating histories;

 

    more financial, research and development, sales and marketing, and other resources;

 

    more extensive relationships with participants in the residential real estate industry, such as brokers, agents, and advertisers;

 

    strong relationships with third-party data providers, such as multiple listing services and listing aggregators;

 

    access to larger user bases; and

 

    larger intellectual property portfolios.

The success of our competitors could result in fewer users visiting our websites and mobile applications, the loss of subscribers and advertisers, price reductions for our subscriptions and display advertising, weaker operating results, and loss of market share. Our competitors also may be able to provide users with products that are different from or superior to those we can provide, or to provide users with a broader range of products and prices.

We expect increased competition if our market continues to expand. In addition, current or potential competitors may be acquired by third parties with greater resources than ours, which would further strengthen these current or potential competitors and enable them to compete more vigorously or broadly with us. If we are not able to compete effectively, our business and operating results will be materially and adversely affected. Any increased marketing spending by one of our primary competitors could cause us to incur additional expenses, could reduce consumer traffic to, and subscribers of, our marketplace, or could harm our operating results.

If our users do not continue to contribute content or their contributions are not valuable to other users, our marketplace would be less attractive, which could negatively affect our unique visitor traffic and revenue.

Our success depends on our ability to provide consumers with the information they seek, which in turn depends in part on the content contributed by our users. We believe that one of our primary competitive advantages is the quality and quantity of the user-generated content in our marketplace, and that information is one of the main reasons consumers use our platform. If we are unable to provide consumers with the information they seek because our users do not contribute content, or because the content that they contribute is not helpful and reliable, the number of consumers visiting our websites and using our mobile applications may decline. If we experience a decline in consumers visiting our websites and using our mobile applications, real estate professionals and advertisers may not view our marketplace as attractive for their marketing expenditures, and may reduce their spending with us. Any decline in visits to our websites and usage of our mobile applications by consumers and any decline in spending by real estate professionals and advertisers with us would harm our business and operating results.

In addition, we monitor new contributions to user-generated content because we believe this metric is a key indicator of our user engagement and the strength of our community. In the event that the number of new contributions to user-generated content declines, this metric may provide a leading indicator of the health of our business. However, if the quantity of new contributions to user-generated content continues to increase but the quality of user-generated content declines, this metric would not capture any corresponding declines in user engagement or the strength of our community as evidenced by the lower quality of user-generated content, and such data would be of limited use in those circumstances.

Our growth depends in part on our relationship with third parties to provide us with local information.

Third parties provide us with information that we use to provide users with insights that go beyond listings, such as information about schools, crime, and neighborhood amenities. Property descriptions and sale transactions obtained via third-party data providers also inform the valuations provided by our Trulia Estimates feature. If these third-party data providers terminate their relationships with us, the information that we provide to users may be limited or the quality of the information may suffer. If we are unable to renew our agreements with these data providers on favorable terms to us or to secure alternative sources for this information, our costs may increase and our business may be harmed.

If we do not display accurate and complete information on a timely basis, our user traffic may decline, our reputation would suffer, and our business and operating results would be harmed.

We receive listing and other information provided by listing aggregators and other third parties that we include on our websites and mobile applications. Our reputation with consumers depends on the accuracy and completeness of the information that we provide, although the accuracy and completeness of this data is often outside of our control. We cannot independently verify the

 

39


Table of Contents

accuracy or completeness of all of the information provided to us by third parties. If third parties provide us with inaccurate or incomplete information that we then display on our websites and mobile applications, consumers may become dissatisfied with our products, our traffic may decrease, and our reputation may suffer. Real estate professionals also expect listings data and other information to be accurate and complete, and to the extent our information is incorrect or incomplete, our reputation and business relationships may suffer.

In addition, we update the listing information that we provide on our websites and mobile applications on a daily basis. To the extent that we are no longer able to update information in our marketplace on a timely basis, or if consumers begin to expect updates in a more timely manner, we may be forced to make investments which allow us to update information with higher frequency. There can be no assurance that we will be able to provide information at a pace necessary to satisfy consumers in a cost-effective manner, or at all.

Growth of our business will depend on a strong brand, and any failure to maintain, protect, and enhance our brand would hurt our ability to retain or expand our base of users, or our ability to increase their level of engagement.

We believe that a strong brand is necessary to continue to attract and retain consumers and, in turn, the real estate professionals and others who choose to advertise on our websites and mobile applications. We need to maintain, protect, and enhance the “Trulia” and “Market Leader” brands in order to expand our base of users and increase their engagement with our websites and mobile applications. This will depend in part on our ability to continue to provide high-value, differentiated products, and we may not be able to do so effectively. This will also depend on our ability to successfully execute a broader marketing campaign to further promote our brand. In February 2014, we announced a national marketing campaign that is designed to attract serious home buyers and sellers to our marketplace. If this campaign is not successful, our business could suffer. Furthermore, negative publicity about our company, including our content, technology, sales practices, personnel, or customer service could diminish confidence in and the use of our products, which could harm our operating results. If we are unable to maintain or enhance user and advertiser awareness of our brand cost effectively, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be harmed. In addition, our trulia.com and activerain.com websites serve as a forum for expression by our users, and if some of our users contribute inappropriate content and offend other users, our reputation could be harmed.

Our Market Leader brand could be harmed if customers do not provide quality service to prospective home buyers and sellers.

We rely on real estate professionals who are our customers of our Market Leader marketing services products to promote our Market Leader brand by providing high-quality service to prospective home buyers and sellers. We have little control over the activities of customers. If customers do not provide prospective home buyers and sellers with high-quality service, or if they use the functionality of our systems to send unwanted email to prospective home buyers or sellers, our brand value and our ability to generate leads may diminish.

We rely on a small number of advertising partners for a substantial portion of our Media revenue, and we are subject to risks as a result of this advertiser concentration.

In the three months ended March 31, 2014, and the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, our ten largest advertising partners accounted for more than 64%, 65%, and 63% of our Media revenue, respectively. One of our growth strategies is to increase the amount large advertisers spend in our marketplace, and we expect this revenue concentration to continue. If one or more of these large advertisers were to decrease or discontinue advertising with us, our business and operating results will be adversely affected.

Our operating results may be adversely affected by a failure to collect amounts owed to us by advertisers.

We often run display advertisements in our marketplace prior to receiving payment from an advertiser, which makes us subject to credit risks. In the past, certain advertisers have been unable to pay us due to bankruptcy or other reasons, and we cannot assure you that we will not experience collection issues in the future. If we have difficulty collecting amounts owed to us by advertisers, or fail to collect these amounts at all, our results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.

Current and future acquisitions and investments could disrupt our business, cause dilution to our stockholders, and harm our financial condition and operating results.

Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to expand our products and markets, and grow our business in response to changing technologies, user, and advertiser demands, and competitive pressures. In some circumstances, we may determine to do so through the acquisition of complementary businesses and technologies rather than through internal development, including, for example, our acquisition of Movity, Inc., a data visualization company, and our acquisition of Market Leader, Inc., a provider of software-as-a-service based customer relationship management software for the real estate sector. The identification of suitable acquisition candidates can be difficult, time-consuming, and costly, and we may not be able to successfully complete identified acquisitions. The risks we face in connection with acquisitions include:

 

    diversion of management time and focus from operating our business to addressing acquisition integration challenges;

 

    coordination of research and development and sales and marketing functions;

 

    transition of the acquired company’s users to our websites and mobile applications;

 

    retention of employees from the acquired company;

 

    cultural challenges associated with integrating employees from the acquired company into our organization;

 

    failure to successfully continue the development of acquired technologies;

 

    integration of the acquired company’s accounting, management information, human resources, and other administrative systems;

 

    the need to implement or improve controls, procedures, and policies at a business that prior to the acquisition may have lacked effective controls, procedures, and policies;

 

    liability for activities of the acquired company before the acquisition, including patent and trademark infringement claims, violations of laws, commercial disputes, tax liabilities, and other known and unknown liabilities;

 

    litigation or other claims in connection with the acquired company, including claims from terminated employees, users, former stockholders, or other third parties;

 

    substantial impairments to goodwill or intangible assets in the event that an acquisition proves to be less valuable than the price we paid for it; and

 

    the possibility that any acquisition may be viewed negatively by our customers or investors or the financial markets.

Our failure to address these risks or other problems encountered in connection with our past or future acquisitions and investments could cause us to fail to realize the anticipated benefits of these acquisitions or investments, cause us to incur unanticipated liabilities, amortization expenses, impairment of goodwill, and restructuring charges, any of which could harm our financial condition and operating results. Also, the anticipated benefits of any acquisitions may not materialize.

Competition within our industry for acquisitions of businesses, technologies, assets and product lines has been, and is likely to continue to be, intense. As such, even if we are able to identify an acquisition that we would like to consummate, we may not be able to complete the acquisition on commercially reasonable terms or because the target chooses to be acquired by another company. Furthermore, in the event that we are able to identify and consummate any future acquisitions, we may, in each of those acquisitions:

 

    issue equity securities which would dilute current stockholders’ percentage ownership;

 

    incur substantial debt to finance the acquisition or assume substantial debt in the acquisition;

 

    incur significant acquisition-related expenses;

 

    assume substantial liabilities, contingent or otherwise; or

 

    expend significant cash.

These financing activities or expenditures could harm our operating results, cash flows and financial condition or the price of our common stock. Alternatively, due to difficulties in the capital or credit markets, we may be unable to secure capital on reasonable terms, or at all, necessary to complete an acquisition.

We depend on our talented personnel to grow and operate our business, and if we are unable to hire, retain, manage, and motivate our personnel, or if our new personnel do not perform as we anticipate, we may not be able to grow effectively.

Our future success will depend upon our continued ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate, and retain talented personnel. We may not be able to retain the services of any of our employees or other members of senior management in the future. We do not have employment agreements other than offer letters with any key employee, and we do not maintain key person life insurance for any employee. In addition, from time to time, there may be changes in our senior management team that may be disruptive to our business. If our senior management team fails to work together effectively and to execute our plans and strategies, our business could be harmed.

Our growth strategy also depends on our ability to expand our organization by hiring high-quality personnel. Identifying, recruiting, training, integrating, managing, and motivating talented individuals will require significant time, expense, and attention. Competition for talent is intense, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area, where our headquarters is located. If we are not able to effectively recruit and retain our talent, our business and our ability to achieve our strategic objectives would be harmed.

Growth may place significant demands on our management and our infrastructure.

We have experienced substantial growth in our business that has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management and our operational and financial infrastructure. As our operations grow in size, scope, and complexity, we will need to improve and upgrade our systems and infrastructure. The expansion of our systems and infrastructure will require us to commit substantial financial, operational, and technical resources in advance of an increase in the volume of business, with no assurance that the volume of business will increase. Continued growth could also strain our ability to maintain reliable service levels for our users and advertisers, develop and improve our operational, financial, and management controls, enhance our reporting systems and procedures, and recruit, train, and retain highly skilled personnel.

Our products are accessed by a large number of users, often at the same time. If the use of our marketplace continues to expand, we may not be able to scale our technology to accommodate increased capacity requirements, which may result in interruptions or delays in service. The failure of our systems and operations to meet our capacity requirements could result in interruptions or delays in service or impede our ability to scale our operations.

Our employee growth will also require significant financial and management resources. For example, we recently entered into a lease for new headquarters in San Francisco, as our existing lease expires in October 2014 and we needed additional headquarters office space to accommodate our growth. As lease rates in the San Francisco commercial real estate market have increased significantly in recent years, we will incur significantly higher facilities expenses for the new larger facility for our headquarters.

Managing our growth will require significant expenditures and allocation of valuable management resources. If we fail to achieve the necessary level of efficiency in our organization as it grows, our business, operating results, and financial condition would be harmed.

A significant disruption in service on our websites or of our mobile applications could damage our reputation and result in a loss of users of our products and of advertisers, which could harm our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Our brand, reputation, and ability to attract users and advertisers depend on the reliable performance of our network infrastructure, software platform and content delivery. We may experience significant interruptions with our systems in the future. Interruptions in these systems, whether due to system failures, computer viruses, or physical or electronic break-ins, could affect the security or availability of our products on our websites and mobile applications, and prevent or inhibit the ability of users to access our products. Problems with the reliability or security of our systems could harm our reputation, result in a loss of users of our products and of advertisers, and result in additional costs.

Substantially all of the communications, network, and computer hardware used to operate our trulia.com website and mobile applications are located at a single colocation facility in Santa Clara, California. Our Market Leader operations depend on our ability to maintain and protect our computer systems, located in Bellevue, Washington and at other co-location facilities in Kent, Washington and other locations operated by third parties. While we have made investments to back up our system in the event of a disruption involving these facilities, our systems are not fully redundant. In addition, we do not own or control the operation of these facilities. Our systems and operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, terrorist attacks, acts of war, electronic and physical break-ins, computer viruses, earthquakes, and similar events. The occurrence of any of these events could result in damage to our systems and hardware or could cause them to fail.

Problems faced by our third-party web hosting providers could adversely affect the experience of our users. Our third-party web hosting providers could close their facilities without adequate notice. Any financial difficulties, up to and including bankruptcy, faced by our third-party web hosting providers or any of the service providers with whom they contract may have negative effects on our business, the nature and extent of which are difficult to predict. If our third-party web hosting providers are unable to keep up with our growing capacity needs, our business could be harmed.

Any errors, defects, disruptions, or other performance or reliability problems with our network operations could cause interruptions in access to our products as well as delays and additional expense in arranging new facilities and services and could harm our reputation, business, operating results, and financial condition.

Our failure to protect confidential information of our users against security breaches could damage our reputation and brand and harm our business and operating results.

We maintain sensitive information provided by users and advertisers. We rely on encryption and authentication technology licensed from third parties to effect secure transmission of confidential information, including personally identifiable information and credit card numbers. We may need to expend significant resources to protect against security breaches or to address problems caused by breaches. If we are unable to maintain the security of confidential information that is provided to us by our users, our reputation and brand could be harmed and we may be exposed to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability, any of which could harm our business and operating results.

Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property could harm our business and operating results.

Our business depends on our intellectual property, the protection of which is crucial to the success of our business. We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, trade secret, and copyright law and contractual restrictions to protect our intellectual property. In addition, we attempt to protect our intellectual property, technology, and confidential information by requiring our employees and consultants to enter into confidentiality and assignment of inventions agreements and third parties to enter into nondisclosure agreements. These agreements may not effectively prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of our confidential information, intellectual property, or technology and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of our confidential information, intellectual property, or technology. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our websites features, software, and functionality or obtain and use information that we consider proprietary.

We have registered “Trulia” as a trademark in the United States, the European Union and Canada. We also hold thirty-six registered trademarks registered in the United States and five trademarks registered in Canada. We have five patents registered and nine patents pending application in the United States. Competitors may adopt service names similar to ours, thereby harming our ability to build brand identity and possibly leading to user confusion. In addition, there could be potential trade name or trademark infringement claims brought by owners of other registered trademarks or trademarks that incorporate variations of the terms “Trulia” or “Market Leader.”

We currently hold the “Trulia.com,” “Marketleader.com,” “Housevalues.com” and “RealEstate.com” Internet domain names and various other related domain names. The regulation of domain names in the United States is subject to change. Regulatory bodies could establish additional top-level domains, appoint additional domain name registrars, or modify the requirements for holding domain names. As a result, we may not be able to acquire or maintain all domain names that use the names Trulia, Market Leader, Housevalues, or RealEstate.

Litigation or proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or other governmental authorities and administrative bodies in the United States and abroad may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our patent rights, trade secrets, and domain names and to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Our efforts to enforce or protect our proprietary rights may be ineffective and could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, which could harm our business and operating results.

Intellectual property infringement assertions by third parties could result in significant costs and harm our business and operating results.

Other parties have asserted, and may in the future assert, that we have infringed their intellectual property rights. Such litigation may involve patent holding companies or other adverse patent owners who have no relevant product revenue, and therefore our own issued and pending patents may provide little or no deterrence. We could also be required to pay damages in an unspecified amount. For example, in September 2011, we entered into a settlement agreement with CIVIX-DDI LLC, or CIVIX, relating to a claim by CIVIX that we infringed two CIVIX patents relating to searching and locating real estate. Under the settlement agreement, we agreed to pay CIVIX to settle the litigation.

In addition, on September 12, 2012, Zillow, Inc., or Zillow, filed a lawsuit against us in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, alleging that we infringe on one U.S. patent held by it (the “’764 Patent”). The lawsuit alleges that one component of our Trulia Estimates feature infringes upon Zillow’s patent insofar as Trulia Estimates allows homeowners to claim their homes and provide additional information about the properties, which enables us to update the valuation estimates for such properties. We started offering our Trulia Estimates feature in 2011. Zillow is seeking a permanent injunction against the alleged infringement, compensatory damages, and attorneys’ fees. On September 11, 2013, we filed a petition for covered business method patent review with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”). Also, on September 12, 2013, we filed a motion to stay pending the PTO’s review. The district court granted our motion to stay on October 7, 2013, and this matter is now stayed. On March 10, 2014, the PTO granted our petition and instituted the covered business method patent review. Separately, on March 27, 2014, the PTO ruled in an inter partes review proceeding brought by a different company that the majority of the claims of the ‘764 Patent were invalid. We believe we have meritorious defenses against Zillow’s claims and we intend to vigorously defend the claims against us.

The foregoing litigation matters could cause us to incur significant expenses and costs. In addition, the outcome of any litigation is inherently unpredictable, and as a result of this litigation matter, we may be required to pay damages, an injunction may be entered against us that requires us to change certain features in our marketplace, or a license or other right to continue to deliver an unmodified version of such features may not be made available to us at all or may require us to pay ongoing royalties and comply with unfavorable terms. Any of these outcomes could harm our business. Even if we were to prevail, this litigation matter could be costly and time-consuming, could divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations, and may discourage consumers, real estate professionals, and advertisers from using our marketplace.

From time to time, we also have other claims brought against us by third parties alleging infringement of their intellectual property. We cannot predict whether other assertions of third-party intellectual property rights or claims arising from such assertions will substantially harm our business and operating results. The defense of these claims and any future infringement claims, whether they are with or without merit or are determined in our favor, may result in costly litigation and diversion of technical and management personnel. Furthermore, an adverse outcome of a dispute may require us to pay damages, potentially including treble damages and attorneys’ fees, if we are found to have willfully infringed a party’s patent or copyright rights; cease making, licensing or using products that are alleged to incorporate the intellectual property of others; expend additional development resources to redesign our products; and enter into potentially unfavorable royalty or license agreements in order to obtain the right to use necessary technologies. Royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may be unavailable on terms acceptable to us, or at all. In any event, we may need to license intellectual property, which would require us to pay royalties or make one-time payments. Even if these matters do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor or without significant cash settlements, the time and resources necessary to resolve them could harm our business, operating results, financial condition, and reputation.

Valuation and other proprietary data may be subject to disputes.

We provide data that is relevant to the decision to purchase a home and some of this data is subject to revision, interpretation, or dispute. For example, our Trulia Estimates tool provides users with home valuations and is based on algorithms we have developed to analyze third-party data. We revise our algorithms regularly, which may cause valuations to differ from those previously provided. Consumers and real estate professionals sometimes disagree with our estimates. Any such variation in or disagreements about the estimates that we present could result in negative user feedback, harm our reputation, or lead to legal disputes.

We are subject to payments-related risks.

We accept payments using a variety of methods, including credit and debit cards. For certain payment methods, including credit and debit cards, we pay bank interchange and other fees, which may increase over time and raise our operating costs and lower profitability. We rely on third parties to provide payment processing services, including the processing of credit and debit cards, and our business would be disrupted if these companies become unwilling or unable to provide these services to us. We are also subject to payment card association operating rules, certification requirements, and rules governing electronic funds transfers, which could change or be reinterpreted to make it difficult or impossible for us to comply. If we fail to comply with these rules or requirements, we may be subject to fines and higher transaction fees and lose our ability to accept credit and debit card payments from consumers or facilitate other types of online payments, and our business and operating results could be adversely affected.

If we fail to comply with the various laws and regulations that govern the real estate industry, our business may be harmed.

Our business is governed by various federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the real estate industry, including the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), the Fair Housing Act, state and local real estate broker licensing laws, federal and state laws prohibiting unfair and deceptive acts and practices, and federal and state advertising laws. We may not have always been and may not always be in compliance with each of these requirements. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in, among other things, revocation of required licenses, indemnification liability to contract counterparties, class action lawsuits, administrative enforcement actions and civil and criminal liability.

Due to the geographic scope of our operations and the nature of the services we provide, we may be required to obtain and maintain real estate brokerage licenses in certain states in which we operate. In connection with such licenses, we are required to designate individual licensed brokers of record. We cannot assure you that we are, and will remain at all times, in full compliance with state real estate licensing laws and regulations and we may be subject to fines or penalties in the event of any non-compliance. If in the future a state agency were to determine that we are required to obtain a real estate brokerage license in that state in order to receive payments or commissions from real estate professionals, or if we lose the services of a designated broker, we may be subject to fines or legal penalties or our business operations in that state may be suspended until we obtain the license or replace the designated broker. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations may limit our ability to expand into new markets, offer new products or continue to operate in one or more of our current markets.

We may be limited in the way in which we market our business or generate revenue by federal law prohibiting referral fees in real estate transactions.

RESPA generally prohibits the payment or receipt of fees or any other thing of value for the referral of business related to a residential real estate settlement service, including real estate brokerage services. RESPA also prohibits fee shares or splits or unearned fees in connection with the provision of residential real estate settlement services. However, RESPA expressly permits payments pursuant to cooperative brokerage and referral arrangements or agreements between real estate agents and brokers. In addition, RESPA permits payments for goods or facilities furnished or for services actually performed, so long as those payments bear a reasonable relationship to the market value of the goods or facilities furnished or the services performed, excluding the value of any referrals that may be provided in connection with such goods, facilities or services. Failure to comply with RESPA may result in, among other things, administrative enforcement actions, class action lawsuits, and civil and criminal liability.

There has been limited guidance by the appropriate federal regulator or the courts regarding the applicability of RESPA to online marketing relationships for real estate or mortgage services, including those we provide. Nonetheless, RESPA may restrict our ability to enter into marketing and distribution arrangements with third parties, particularly to the extent that such arrangements may be characterized as involving payments for the referral of residential real estate settlement service business.

Our business is subject to a variety of state and federal laws, many of which are unsettled and still developing and which could subject us to claims or otherwise harm our business.

We are subject to a variety of federal and state laws, including laws regarding data retention, privacy, and consumer protection that are continuously evolving and developing. The scope and interpretation of the laws that are or may be applicable to us are often uncertain and may be conflicting. For example, laws relating to the liability of providers of online services for activities of their users and other third parties are currently being tested by a number of claims, including actions based on invasion of privacy and other torts, unfair competition, copyright and trademark infringement, and other theories based on the nature and content of the materials searched, the ads posted, or the content provided by users. In addition, regulatory authorities are considering a number of legislative and regulatory proposals concerning data protection and other matters that may be applicable to our business. Changes to existing laws or regulations or the adoption of new laws or regulations could negatively affect our business. It is difficult to predict how existing laws will be applied to our business and the new laws to which we may become subject.

If we are unable to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, the accuracy, and timeliness of our financial reporting may be adversely affected.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, requires, among other things, that we assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting annually and the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures quarterly. If we are not able to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in a timely manner, the market price of our stock could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the New York Stock Exchange, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources. In connection with the audit of our financial statements for 2009, 2010, and 2011, we identified a material weakness in the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that was the result of a lack of a sufficient number of qualified personnel within our accounting department that possessed an appropriate level of expertise to perform certain accounting functions. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, that creates a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Although we have remediated this material weakness, we cannot assure you that there will not be material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in the future.

Our compliance with applicable provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has required, and will continue to require, that we incur substantial accounting expense and expend significant management time on compliance-related issues as we implement additional corporate governance practices and comply with reporting requirements. While our management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting resulted in our conclusion that, as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial

reporting was effective, we cannot predict the outcome of our assessment and that of our independent registered public accounting firm in future periods. If we conclude in future periods that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective, we could be subject to one or more investigations or enforcement actions by state or federal regulatory agencies, stockholder lawsuits or other adverse actions requiring us to incur defense costs, pay fines, settlements or judgments and causing investor perceptions to be adversely affected and potentially resulting in a decline in the market price of our stock.

In addition, we are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, and as such we have elected to avail ourselves of the exemption from the requirement that our independent registered public accounting firm audit our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act until we cease to be an “emerging growth company.” See “—We are an ‘emerging growth company,’ and any decision on our part to comply only with certain reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies could make our common stock less attractive to investors,” for additional risks relating to our “emerging growth company” status.

If we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting to meet the demands placed upon us as a public company, including the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results, or report them within the timeframes required by law or exchange regulations.

Complying with the laws and regulations affecting public companies has increased and may continue to increase our costs and the demands on management and could harm our operating results.

As a public company, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange impose various requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel have devoted and will need to continue to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations have increased and will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs and have made and will continue to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. These rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or our board committees or as executive officers.

In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting annually and the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures quarterly. Our compliance with applicable provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has required, and will continue to require, that we incur substantial accounting expense and expend significant management time on compliance-related issues as we implement additional corporate governance practices and comply with reporting requirements. While our management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting resulted in our conclusion that, as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was effective, we cannot predict the outcome of our assessment and that of our independent registered public accounting firm in future periods. If we conclude in future periods that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective, we could be subject to one or more investigations or enforcement actions by state or federal regulatory agencies, stockholder lawsuits or other adverse actions requiring us to incur defense costs, pay fines, settlements or judgments and causing investor perceptions to be adversely affected and potentially resulting in a decline in the market price of our stock. In addition, we are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, and as such we have elected to avail ourselves of the exemption from the requirement that our independent registered public accounting firm audit our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act until we cease to be an “emerging growth company.” See “—We are an ‘emerging growth company,’ and any decision on our part to comply only with certain reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies could make our common stock less attractive to investors,” for additional risks relating to our “emerging growth company” status.

If we are unable to implement these changes effectively or efficiently, it could harm our operations, financial reporting, or financial results and could result in an adverse opinion on internal control from our independent registered public accounting firm.

We are an “emerging growth company,” and any decision on our part to comply only with certain reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies could make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act enacted in April 2012, and, for as long as we continue to be an “emerging growth company,” we may choose to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to have our independent registered public accounting firm audit our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an “emerging growth company” until December 31, 2017; however, if we have more than $1.0 billion in annual revenue, if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of June 30 of any year, or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period before the end of that five-year period, we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” as of the following December 31. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive if we choose to rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result of any choices to reduce future disclosure, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards, and, therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Our operating results may be harmed if we are required to collect sales taxes for our products.

There is general uncertainty in the industry about the obligation of Internet-based businesses to collect and remit sales taxes in jurisdictions where their commerce is solely virtual. In the current climate, it is possible that one or more states or countries could seek to impose sales or other tax collection obligations on us or our subscribers with regards to our products, which taxes may be applicable to past sales. A successful assertion that we should be collecting additional sales or other taxes on our products could result in substantial tax liabilities for past sales, discourage subscribers from purchasing our products, or otherwise harm our business and operating results.

If we fail to expand effectively into adjacent markets, our growth prospects could be harmed.

We intend to expand our operations into adjacent markets, such as rentals, mortgages, and home improvement, and into international geographies. We may incur losses or otherwise fail to enter these markets successfully. Our expansion into these markets will place us in competitive environments with which we are unfamiliar and involves various risks, including the need to invest significant resources and the possibility that returns on such investments will not be achieved for several years, or at all. In attempting to establish a presence in new markets, we expect to incur significant expenses and face various other challenges, such as expanding our sales force and management personnel to cover these markets. For example, in September 2012, we introduced a mortgage product through which we provide real-time mortgage quotes to our users. We currently obtain mortgage quotes from partners. If we are unable to continue our relationships with these two providers, add additional real-time mortgage quote providers, find replacement real-time mortgage quote providers on similar or better terms or we are unable to integrate with other providers, our expansion into the mortgage market will be hindered and our business and operating results may suffer.

We may require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new features and products or enhance our existing products, improve our operating infrastructure, or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities or if we issue equity securities as consideration in a merger or acquisition, our existing stockholders could suffer significant ownership dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences, and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing we secure in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be impaired, and our business may be harmed.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock

Our actual operating results may differ significantly from our guidance.

From time to time, we have released, and may continue to release guidance in our quarterly earnings conference call, quarterly earnings releases, or otherwise, regarding our future performance that represents our management’s estimates as of the date of release. This guidance, which includes forward-looking statements, has been and will be based on projections prepared by our management. These projections are not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and neither our registered public accountants nor any other independent expert or outside party compiles or examines the projections. Accordingly, no such person expresses any opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to the projections.

Projections are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while presented with numerical specificity, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and are based upon specific assumptions with respect to future business decisions, some of which will change. We intend to state possible outcomes as high and low ranges which are intended to provide a sensitivity analysis as variables are changed but are not intended to imply that actual results could not fall outside of the suggested ranges. The principal reason that we release guidance is to provide a basis for our management to discuss our business outlook with analysts and investors. We do not accept any responsibility for any projections or reports published by any such third parties.

Guidance is necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the assumptions underlying the guidance furnished by us will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. Accordingly, our guidance is only an estimate of what management believes is realizable as of the date of release. Actual results may vary from our guidance and the variations may be material. In light of the foregoing, investors are urged not to rely upon our guidance in making an investment decision regarding our common stock.

Any failure to successfully implement our operating strategy or the occurrence of any of the events or circumstances set forth in this “Risk Factors” section in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q could result in the actual operating results being different from our guidance, and the differences may be adverse and material.

The price of our common stock may be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

The trading price of our common stock has fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate substantially. Since shares of our common stock were sold in our initial public offering, or the IPO, in September 2012 at a price of $17.00 per share, the reported high and low sales prices of our common stock have ranged from $14.69 to $52.71 through April 29, 2014. The trading price of our common stock depends on a number of factors, including those described in this “Risk Factors” section, many of which are beyond our control and may not be related to our operating performance. These fluctuations could cause you to lose all or part of your investment in our common stock since you might be unable to sell your shares at or above the price you paid. Factors that could cause fluctuations in the trading price of our common stock include the following:

 

    price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time;

 

    volatility in the market prices and trading volumes of high technology stocks;

 

    changes in operating performance and stock market valuations of other technology companies generally, or those in our industry in particular;

 

    sales of shares of our common stock by us or our stockholders;

 

    failure of securities analysts to maintain coverage of us, changes in financial estimates by any securities analysts who follow our company, or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;

 

    the financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in those projections, or our failure to meet those projections;

 

    announcements by us or our competitors of new products;

 

    the public’s reaction to our press releases, other public announcements, and filings with the SEC;

 

    rumors and market speculation involving us or other companies in our industry;

 

    actual or anticipated changes in our operating results or fluctuations in our operating results;

 

    actual or anticipated developments in our business, our competitors’ businesses, or the competitive landscape generally;

 

    litigation involving us, our industry or both, or investigations by regulators into our operations or those of our competitors;

 

    developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property or other proprietary rights;

 

    announced or completed acquisitions of businesses or technologies by us or our competitors;

 

    new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business;

 

    changes in accounting standards, policies, guidelines, interpretations, or principles;

 

    any significant change in our management;

 

    conditions in the real estate industry or changes in mortgage interest rates; and

 

    general economic conditions and slow or negative growth of our markets.

In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market and industry factors may seriously affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market prices of a particular companies’ securities, securities class action litigations have often been instituted against these companies. Litigation of this type, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources.

Table of Contents

Because our outstanding 2020 Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock, volatility or depressed prices of our common stock could have a similar effect on the trading price of our 2020 Notes. In addition, the existence of the 2020 Notes may encourage short selling in our common stock by market participants because the conversion of the convertible notes could depress the price of our common stock.

Future sales of shares by existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decline.

The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock in the market, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers, employees and significant stockholders, and the perception that these sales could occur may also depress the market price of our common stock. As of March 31, 2014, we had 36,917,277 shares of common stock outstanding.

As of April 21, 2014 an aggregate of 2,622,013 shares are entitled, under contracts providing for registration rights, to require us to register shares of our common stock owned by them for public sale in the United States. In addition, we filed registration statements to register approximately 11,889,738 shares reserved for future issuance under our equity compensation plans. Subject to the satisfaction of applicable exercise periods, the shares of common stock issued upon exercise of outstanding options will be available for immediate resale in the United States in the open market. In addition, a substantial number of shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance upon conversion of the 2020 Notes.

Substantial sales of our common stock may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-linked securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. These sales also could cause our stock price to fall and make it more difficult for you to sell shares of our common stock.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business, or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our stock adversely, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock has been and may continue to be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market, or our competitors. If any of the analysts who covers us change their recommendation regarding our stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, our stock price would likely decline. If any analyst who covers us were to cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

We do not expect to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

We do not anticipate declaring any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Consequently, investors may need to rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.

Anti-takeover provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law and our outstanding convertible notes could impair a takeover attempt.

Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws, and Delaware law contain provisions which could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by our board of directors. Our corporate governance documents include provisions:

 

    providing for a classified board of directors whose members serve staggered three-year terms;

 

    authorizing “blank check” preferred stock, which could be issued by our board of directors without stockholder approval and may contain voting, liquidation, dividend, and other rights superior to our common stock;

 

    limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers;

 

    limiting the ability of our stockholders to call and bring business before special meetings;

 

    requiring advance notice of stockholder proposals for business to be conducted at meetings of our stockholders and for nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors;

 

    controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of board of directors and stockholder meetings; and

 

    providing our board of directors with the express power to postpone previously scheduled annual meetings and to cancel previously scheduled special meetings.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in our management.

 

49


Table of Contents

As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation law, which prevents some stockholders holding more than 15% of our outstanding common stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding common stock. Additionally, certain provisions of our outstanding convertible notes could make it more difficult or more expensive for a third party to acquire us.

Any provision of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock, and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock.

ARTICLE 1

PREMISES, BUILDING, PROJECT, AND COMMON AREAS

1.1 Premises, Building, Project and Common Areas .

1.1.1 The Premises . Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the premises set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary (the “ Premises ”). The outline of the Premises is set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and each floor or floors of the Premises has the number of rentable square feet as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary. The parties hereto agree that the lease of the Premises is upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth, and Tenant covenants as a material part of the consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each and all of such terms, covenants and conditions by it to be kept and performed and that this Lease is made upon the condition of such performance. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the purpose of Exhibit A is to show the approximate location of the Premises in the “Building,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.2 , below, only, and such Exhibit is not meant to constitute an agreement, representation or warranty as to the construction of the Premises, the precise area thereof or the specific location of the “Common Areas,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.3 , below, or the elements thereof or of the accessways to the Premises or the “Project,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.2 , below. Except as specifically set forth in this Lease and in the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “ Tenant Work Letter ”), Tenant shall accept the Premises in its presently existing “as-is” condition and Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement work or services related to the improvement of the Premises. Tenant also acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises, the Building or the Project or with respect to the suitability of any of the foregoing for the conduct of Tenant’s business, except as specifically set forth in this Lease and the Tenant Work Letter. The commencement of business operations from the Premises by Tenant shall presumptively establish that the Premises and the Building were at such time in good and sanitary order, condition and repair, except for (i) minor “punchlist” matters related to the Premises or Building which are brought to Landlord’s attention within ten (10) days after Tenant commences business operations from the Premises; (ii) latent defects in the construction of the “Tenant Improvements”, as that term is defined in Section 2.1 of the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto, which are brought to Landlord’s attention on or before the first (1 st ) anniversary of the Phase I Lease Commencement Date or the Phase II Lease Commencement Date, as applicable; and (iii) Landlord’s obligations set forth in Section 5.4 and Articles 7 and 24 of this Lease.

1.1.2 The Building and The Project . The Premises are a part of the building set forth in Section 2.1 of the Summary (the “ Building ”). The term “ Project ,” as used in this Lease, shall mean (i) the Building and the Common Areas, (ii) the land (which is improved with landscaping, subterranean parking facilities and other improvements) upon which the Building and the Common Areas are located, and (iii) at Landlord’s discretion, any additional real property, areas, land, buildings or other improvements added thereto outside of the Project.

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -5-   [TRULIA, INC.]


1.1.3 Common Areas . Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use in common with other tenants in the Project, and subject to the rules and regulations referred to in Article 5 of this Lease, those portions of the Project which are provided, from time to time, for use in common by Landlord, Tenant and any other tenants of the Project (such areas, together with such other portions of the Project designated by Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, including certain areas designated for the exclusive use of certain tenants, or to be shared by Landlord and certain tenants, are collectively referred to herein as the “ Common Areas ”). The Common Areas shall consist of the “Project Common Areas” and the “Building Common Areas.” The term “ Project Common Areas ,” as used in this Lease, shall mean the portion of the Project designated as such by Landlord, which Project Common Areas may include, from time to time, in Landlord’s sole discretion, a conference center and other amenities. The term “ Building Common Areas ,” as used in this Lease, shall mean the portions of the Common Areas located within the Building designated as such by Landlord. The manner in which the Common Areas are maintained and operated shall be at the reasonable discretion of Landlord (but shall at least be consistent with the manner in which the common areas of “Comparable Buildings,” as that term is defined in Section 2.2.2 of this Lease, are maintained and operated), and the use thereof shall be subject to such rules, regulations and restrictions as Landlord may make from time to time, provided that, except as required by “Applicable Laws”, as that term is defined in Article 24 of this Lease, Tenant shall only be required to abide by and observe such rules, regulations and restrictions to the extent the same do not (a) unreasonably interfere with or prevent Tenant from using the Premises for the Permitted Use, or (b) materially diminish the rights or materially increase the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Landlord reserves the right to close temporarily, make alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of the Project and the Common Areas, provided that no changes shall be permitted which materially diminish Tenant’s rights or access to the Premises under this Lease, or materially interfere with or prevent Tenant from using the Premises for the Permitted Use. Except when and where Tenant’s right of access is specifically excluded in this Lease, and except in the event of an emergency, Tenant shall have the right of access to the Premises, the Building, and the Project parking facility twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week during the “Lease Term”, as that term is defined in Section 2.1 below.

1.1.4 Occurrence of Phase I Lease Commencement Date . Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Phase I Lease Commencement Date to occur by October 15, 2014. If, despite such efforts, the Phase I Lease Commencement Date does not occur on or before October 15, 2014 (the “ Holdover Date ”), then, for each day after the Holdover Date that the Phase I Lease Commencement Date has not occurred, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant, in the form of a credit against Base Rent first coming due under this Lease, for the incremental increased “holdover” rent that Tenant is required to and actually pays (the “ Holdover Rent Credit ”) under its existing leases at 116 New Montgomery and 706 Mission Street, San Francisco, California (the “ Existing Leases ”). Such Holdover Rent Credit shall be equal to the actual amount by which rent payable by Tenant under its Existing Leases is increased, solely as the result of Tenant’s holdover in its premises under the Existing Leases, over the rent payable by Tenant thereunder during the period immediately prior to the Holdover Date. In no event shall the Holdover Rent Credit exceed $50,000.00 per month. Tenant shall provide reasonable evidence to Landlord of its payment of such holdover rent as a condition to Landlord’s obligation to provide the Holdover Rent Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Phase I Lease Commencement Date does not occur on or before July 1, 2015 (the “ Outside

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -6-   [TRULIA, INC.]


Completion Date ”), Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice (the “ Termination Notice ”) to Landlord of such election prior to the Outside Completion Date, in which event this Lease shall automatically terminate on the date that is thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Termination Notice (the “ Termination Date ”), unless the Phase I Lease Commencement Date occurs prior to the Termination Date. If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord shall (i) refund to Tenant all monies previously paid by Tenant to Landlord, and (ii) pay to Tenant the amount of the Holdover Rent Credit that accrued between the Holdover Date through and including the Termination Date. For purposes of calculating the Holdover Rent Credit, the Holdover Date and the Holdover Credit Date shall be extended by the number of days that the substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises are delayed by “Force Majeure”, as defined in Section 29.16 , below, or by “Tenant Delay”, as defined in Section 5.2 of the Tenant Work Letter.

1.2 Rentable Square Feet of Premises and Building . Landlord and Tenant hereby stipulate and agree that the rentable area of the initial Premises is as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary. For purposes of the Hold Space, or any Expansion Space or First Offer Space leased by Tenant under this Lease, “ rentable square feet ” in the Premises and the Building, as the case may be, shall be calculated pursuant to Office Building: Standard Methods of Measurement and Calculating Rentable Area (ANSI/BOMA Z65.1 – 2010) (Method B), and its accompanying guidelines.

1.3 Hold Space . The originally named Tenant herein (the “ Original Tenant ”) and any “Non-Transferee Assignee” (as that term is defined in Section 14.8 , below) shall have the right, by written notice (the “ Hold Space Notice ”) to Landlord delivered on or before July 1, 2014, to elect to lease the entire ninth (9th) floor of the Building (the “ Hold Space ”), which space is located contiguous to the initial Premises, during the Lease Term. In the event that Tenant timely delivers the Hold Space Notice to Landlord pursuant to this Section 1.3 , then (i) commencing as of the Phase II Lease Commencement Date, the Hold Space shall become part of the Premises and, except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.3 , shall be subject to every term and condition of this Lease, (ii) the Base Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord for the Hold Space shall be at the same Annual Base Rental Rate per rentable square foot, including all applicable adjustments and escalations, as the then “Base Rent” and “Additional Rent,” as those terms are defined in Article 3 and Section 4.1 of this Lease, respectively, payable by Tenant for the initial Premises, (iii) for purposes of calculating Tenant’s obligations under Article 4 of this Lease, “Tenant’s Share” of the annual “Building Direct Expenses,” as those terms are defined in Sections 4.2.6 and 4.2.1 of this Lease, respectively, shall be increased by an amount equal to the rentable square footage of the Hold Space divided by the rentable square footage of the Building, and (iv) the L-C Amount shall be increased pursuant to the terms of Section 21.7 of this Lease. The Hold Space shall be improved pursuant to the terms of the Tenant Work Letter, and the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be increased by an amount equal to $65.00 multiplied by the rentable square footage of the Hold Space. All other terms of this Lease shall apply to the Hold Space as though the Hold Space were originally part of the Premises.

1.4 Expansion Space . Landlord hereby grants to the Original Tenant and any Non-Transferee Assignee the right to lease additional space in the Building upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.4 and this Lease.

1.4.1 Right to Lease Expansion Space . Tenant shall have the right to lease the “Expansion Space” (as that term is defined in Section 1.4.2 , below), at the times set forth in Section 1.4.2 , and in the manner as set forth in this Section 1.4 .

1.4.2 Expansion Space; Lease Commencement Date . As used herein, the term “ Expansion Space ” shall refer, individually or collectively, as the content may require, to the “First Expansion Space” and the “Second Expansion Space”, as those terms are defined below. The expansion right granted to Tenant pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall be with respect to the entire applicable Expansion Space, and Tenant shall not have any right to lease only a portion of either Expansion Space.

 

Expansion Space

   Delivery
A. Either (i) the entire ninth (9 th ) floor of the Building, in the event that Tenant did not timely elect to lease the Hold Space pursuant to Section 1.3 , above, or (ii) the entire tenth (10 th ) floor of the Building, in the event that Tenant timely elected to lease the Hold Space (the “ First Expansion Space ”).    The First Expansion Space shall be delivered to Tenant by Landlord on or before January 1, 2017. If Landlord fails to deliver the First Expansion Space on or before April 1, 2017, and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice of such failure from Tenant (the “ First Expansion Space Delivery Notice ”), then Tenant’s sole remedy for such failure shall be a two (2) day extension of the “Expansion Space Commencement Date”, as that term is defined in Section 1.4.6 of this Lease, for the First Expansion Space for every day that Landlord fails to deliver the First Expansion Space after its receipt of the First Expansion Space Delivery Notice.
B. At Landlord’s sole option and subject to Tenant’s rights with respect to the Hold Space and the First Expansion Space pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4.2.1 , respectively, above, either (i) the entire tenth (10 th ) floor of the Building, or (ii) the entire eleventh (11 th ) floor of the Building (the “ Second Expansion Space ”).    A minimum of seven thousand (7,000) rentable square feet of the Second Expansion Space shall be delivered to Tenant by Landlord on or before January 1, 2019, with the balance of the Second Expansion Space to be delivered to Tenant by Landlord on or before June 1, 2020. If Landlord fails to deliver either portion of the Second Expansion Space within ninety (90) days after the respective dates set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice of such failure from Tenant (each, a “ Second

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -8-   [TRULIA, INC.]


  Expansion Space Delivery Notice ”), then Tenant’s sole remedy for such failure shall be a two (2) day extension of the Expansion Space Commencement Date for the Second Expansion Space for every day that Landlord fails to deliver the applicable portion of the Second Expansion Space after its receipt of a Second Expansion Space Delivery Notice.

In the event any of the Expansion Space is not able to be delivered as required by the terms of this Section 1.4 , above, then in addition to Tenant’s other rights hereunder, Landlord agrees that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts, in cooperation with Tenant and Landlord’s parent company and affiliated companies with commercial real estate holdings in San Francisco, California, to provide temporary space to Tenant for Tenant’s use while such Expansion Space remains undelivered.

1.4.3 Method of Exercise . If Tenant desires to lease either Expansion Space as set forth in this Section 1.4 , Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord (an “ Expansion Exercise Notice ”) on or before (i) July 1, 2016, with respect to the First Expansion Space, and (ii) July 1, 2018, with respect to the Second Expansion Space. If Tenant fails to timely deliver an Expansion Exercise Notice with respect to either Expansion Space, Tenant shall have no further right to lease any further Expansion Space in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.4 .

1.4.4 Expansion Rent . The annual “Rent”, as that term is defined in Section 4.1 of this Lease, payable by Tenant for any Expansion Space (the “ Expansion Rent ”) shall be equal to the “Fair Market Rent Rate”, as that term is defined in Section 2.2.2 of this Lease, for such Expansion Space as of the applicable Expansion Space Commencement Date. In the event Tenant timely and appropriately exercises its expansion right with respect to any Expansion Space pursuant to Section 1.4.3 , above, the Expansion Rent shall be determined by arbitration pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2.3 , below. Any “Expansion Space Improvement Allowance” (as that term is defined in Section 1.4.5 , below) shall be a factor in determining the Expansion Rent.

1.4.5 Construction of Expansion Space . The Expansion Space shall be improved pursuant to the terms of the Tenant Work Letter, and Landlord shall provide Tenant an improvement allowance (an “ Expansion Space Improvement Allowance ”) equal to the product of (i) $65.00 per rentable square foot of space contained in the Expansion Space, and (ii) a percentage, which may be expressed as a fraction, which fraction shall have as its numerator the number of monthly Base Rent payments to be paid by Tenant to Landlord with respect to the Expansion Space during the initial Lease Term, and which fraction shall have ninety-six (96) as its denominator. The Expansion Space Improvement Allowance shall be distributed by Landlord in a manner consistent with the distribution of the Tenant Improvement Allowance with respect to the initial Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to deliver the Second Expansion Space to Tenant, or any portion thereof, with interior improvements of a quality equal to or greater than the quality of the “Standard Improvement Package” (as that term is defined in Section 2.3 of the Tenant Work

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -9-   [TRULIA, INC.]


Letter) constructed therein (the “ Improved Space ”), in which event, so long as the Improved Space is built-out with an open plan, open ceiling design, Tenant shall accept the Second Expansion Space in its then-existing, “as-is” condition, and Landlord shall not be obligated to provide, and Tenant shall have no right to receive, an Expansion Space Improvement Allowance in connection with the portion of the Second Expansion Space that is Improved Space.

1.4.6 Amendment to Lease . If Tenant timely exercises Tenant’s right to lease Expansion Space as set forth in this Section 1.4 , then, promptly thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment adding such Expansion Space to this Lease upon the same terms and conditions as the initial Premises, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 1.4 , provided that the parties’ failure to execute an amendment shall not affect each party’s respective rights and obligations with respect to the exercised expansion option. For purposes of calculating Tenant’s obligations under Article 4 of this Lease, Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses shall be increased by an amount equal to the rentable square footage of such Expansion Space leased by Tenant pursuant to this Section 1.4 divided by the total rentable square footage of the Building. Except to the extent inconsistent with the determination of Expansion Rent, all provisions of the Lease which vary based upon the rentable square footage of the Premises shall be adjusted to reflect the addition of such Expansion Space to the Premises; provided, however, the L-C Amount shall be increased pursuant to the terms of Section 21.7 of this Lease. Tenant shall commence payment of Expansion Rent with respect to the Expansion Space to Landlord, and the term of the Expansion Space shall commence upon that date (the “ Expansion Space Commencement Date ”) which is the earlier to occur of (i) the date upon which Tenant first commences to conduct business in the Expansion Space, and (ii) the date that the Expansion Space is Ready for Occupancy as determined in accordance with the terms of the Tenant Work Letter. In connection with the foregoing, Tenant hereby agrees that Tenant shall (i) complete and deliver the Final Space Plan for tenant improvements in any Expansion Space within sixty (60) days after its delivery of the applicable Expansion Exercise Notice; (ii) deliver Final Working Drawings for such Expansion Space within ninety (90) days after its delivery of the applicable Expansion Exercise Notice; and (iii) deliver Permits in connection with the commencement and completion of the Tenant Improvements in such Expansion Space within thirty (30) days after the Final Working Drawings are approved by Landlord. The lease term of the Expansion Space shall expire on the Lease Expiration Date, as the same may be extended.

1.4.7 Termination of Expansion Right . The rights contained in this Section 1.4 shall be personal to the Original Tenant, and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant or any Non-Transferee Assignee (and not by any other assignee, sublessee or “Transferee”, as that term is defined in Section 14.1 of this Lease) if the Lease then remains in full force and effect and the Original Tenant or its Permitted Transferee then occupies the entire Premises; provided, however, that Tenant shall be deemed to be in compliance with the foregoing occupancy requirement so long as Tenant or its Permitted Transferee has not subleased more than a total of twenty-seven thousand (27,000) RSF of the Premises pursuant to subleases that do not extend beyond the fifth (5 th ) Lease Year (including options). Tenant shall not have the right to lease Expansion Space as provided in this Section 1.4 if, as of the date of the Expansion Exercise Notice or the applicable Expansion Space Commencement Date, Tenant is in economic or material non-economic default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods expressly set forth in this Lease.

  -10-   [TRULIA, INC.]


1.5 Right of First Offer . Landlord hereby grants to the Original Tenant and any Non-Transferee Assignee an on-going right of first offer with respect to the floors located in the low rise bank of the Building ( i.e. , floors three (3) through twelve (12)) (the “ First Offer Space ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such first offer right of Tenant shall commence only following the expiration or earlier termination of initial, third-party leases (including any renewal, extension, expansion, first offer, first negotiation and other similar rights, regardless of whether such rights are executed strictly in accordance with their respective terms or pursuant to lease amendments or new leases) of the First Offer Space, and such right of first offer shall be subordinate to all rights of tenants under such leases of the First Offer Space (all such tenants under initial, third-party leases of the First Offer Space, collectively, the “ Superior Right Holders ”). In the event that Tenant chooses not to exercise, or fails to timely exercise, its rights with respect to Expansion Space pursuant to Section 1.4 of this Lease, then the tenant under any interim lease (an “ Interim Lease ”) shall become a Superior Right Holder and Tenant’s right of first offer set forth in this Section 1.5 shall be subordinate to all rights of such Interim Lease tenant or tenants with respect to such space. Tenant’s right of first offer shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.5 .

1.5.1 Procedure for Offer . Landlord shall notify Tenant (a “ First Offer Notice ”) from time to time when the First Offer Space or any portion thereof becomes available for lease to third parties, provided that no Superior Right Holder wishes to lease such space. Pursuant to such First Offer Notice, Landlord shall offer to lease to Tenant the then-available First Offer Space. A First Offer Notice shall describe the space so offered to Tenant and shall set forth Landlord’s determination of the annual Rent payable by Tenant for the First Offer Space (the “ First Offer Rent ”), and the other economic terms upon which Landlord is willing to lease such space to Tenant.

1.5.2 Procedure for Acceptance . If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant’s right of first offer with respect to the space described in a First Offer Notice, then within ten (10) business days of delivery of such First Offer Notice to Tenant, Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord (the “ First Offer Exercise Notice ”) of Tenant’s intention either (a) to exercise its right of first offer with respect to the entire space described in such First Offer Notice on the terms contained therein, or (b) to exercise its right of first offer with respect to the entire space described in such First Offer Notice, subject to Tenant’s objection to the First Offer Rent set forth in the First Offer Notice, in which event the First Offer Rent shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2.3 of this Lease, below. If Tenant does not so timely deliver the First Offer Exercise Notice, then Landlord shall be free to lease the space described in the First Offer Notice to anyone to whom Landlord desires on any terms Landlord desires, and Tenant’s right of first offer set forth in this Section 1.5 shall terminate as to all of the First Offer Space described in the First Offer Notice until it again becomes available ( i.e. , until such time as Landlord enters into an Interim Lease with respect to such First Offer Space), in which event the tenant under such Interim Lease shall become a Superior Right Holder and Tenant’s right of first offer set forth in this Section 1.5 shall be subordinate to all rights of such tenant with respect to such First Offer Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the space offered to Tenant in any First Offer Notice is comprised of more than one (1) full floor of the Building, then Tenant may exercise its right of first offer with respect to less than all of the space offered in such First Offer Notice, provided that in such event Tenant must exercise its right of first offer in full-floor increments.

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -11-   [TRULIA, INC.]


1.5.3 Construction In First Offer Space . Tenant shall accept the First Offer Space in its then-existing “as-is” condition, subject to any improvement allowance granted as a component of the First Offer Rent. The construction of improvements in the First Offer Space shall comply with the terms of Article 8 of this Lease.

1.5.4 Amendment to Lease . If Tenant timely exercises Tenant’s right to lease First Offer Space as set forth in this Section 1.5 , then, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment adding such First Offer Space to this Lease upon the same terms and conditions as the initial Premises, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 1.5 , provided that the parties’ failure to execute an amendment shall not affect each party’s respective rights and obligations with respect to the exercised right of first offer. In the event that Landlord and Tenant arbitrate the First Offer Rent pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2.3 of this Lease and, pursuant to such arbitration, the First Offer Rent is determined to be the First Offer Rent submitted by Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days following the date upon which Landlord and Tenant receive the final determination of the arbitrators, execute an amendment to this Lease setting forth the applicable First Offer Rent (Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledging that, pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2.3.7 of this Lease, below, Tenant shall be required to pay, and the amendment to the Lease shall be based upon, the First Offer Rent submitted to arbitration by Landlord until such final determination is made by the arbitrators). For purposes of calculating Tenant’s obligations under Article 4 of this Lease, Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses shall be increased by an amount equal to the rentable square footage of such First Offer Space leased by Tenant pursuant to this Section 1.5 divided by the total rentable square footage of the Building. Except to the extent inconsistent with the determination of First Offer Rent, all provisions of the Lease which vary based upon the rentable square footage of the Premises shall be adjusted to reflect the addition of such First Offer Space to the Premises; provided, however, the L-C Amount shall be increased pursuant to the terms of Section 21.7 of this Lease, below. Subject to any contrary terms in the First Offer Notice, Tenant shall commence payment of First Offer Rent with respect to the First Offer Space to Landlord, and the term of the First Offer Space shall commence upon that date (the “ First Offer Commencement Date ”) which is the earlier to occur of (i) the date upon which Tenant first commences to conduct business in the First Offer Space, and (ii) the date occurring that number of days after Landlord delivers the First Offer Space to Tenant as shall be granted to Tenant for construction of improvements in the First Offer Space (the “ ROFO Construction Period ”), which shall be considered as a factor in determining the First Offer Rent as shall, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.2.2 below, the time period of rental abatement, if any, granted to tenants in comparable transactions in connection with the design, permitting and construction of tenant improvements in such comparable spaces. The ROFO Construction Period shall reflect a reasonable amount of time to permit Tenant to design and construct improvements in the First Offer Space consistent with the quality of the improvements in the initial Premises. The lease term of the First Offer Space shall expire on the Lease Expiration Date, as the same may be extended.

1.5.5 Termination of Right of First Offer . The rights contained in this Section 1.5 shall be personal to the Original Tenant, and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant or any Non-Transferee Assignee (and not by any other assignee, sublessee or Transferee) if the Lease then remains in full force and effect and the Original Tenant or any Permitted Transferee then occupies at least fifty-two thousand (52,000) rentable square feet in the Building.

Tenant shall not have the right to lease First Offer Space, as provided in this Section 1.5 if, as of the date of the First Offer Exercise Notice, or as of the First Offer Commencement Date, Tenant is in economic or material non-economic default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods expressly set forth in this Lease, or Tenant has previously been in economic or material non-economic default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods expressly set forth in this Lease more than two (2) times during the immediately preceding twelve (12)-month period.

ARTICLE 2

LEASE TERM

2.1 Initial Lease Term . The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the date of this Lease. The term of this Lease (the “ Lease Term ”) shall commence on the “ Lease Commencement Date ,” as that term is set forth in Section 3.2 of the Summary, and shall terminate on the “ Lease Expiration Date ,” as that term is set forth in Section 3.3 of the Summary, unless this Lease is sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. For purposes of this Lease, the term “ Lease Year ” shall mean each consecutive twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term. At any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may deliver to Tenant a notice in the form as set forth in Exhibit C , attached hereto, as a confirmation only of the information set forth therein, which Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within ten (10) business days of receipt thereof; provided that if such notice is not factually correct, then Tenant shall make such changes as are necessary to make such notice factually correct and shall thereafter return such notice to Landlord within said ten (10) business day period. Tenant’s failure to execute and return such notice to Landlord within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant that the information set forth in such notice is as specified therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to occupy the Phase II Premises and/or the Hold Space (in the event that Tenant properly exercises its rights set forth in Section 1.3 , above) (individually or collectively, as the content may require, the “ Beneficial Occupancy Space ”), for the conduct of Tenant’s business prior to the Phase II Lease Commencement Date, provided that (i) Tenant shall give Landlord at least five (5) days’ prior notice of any such occupancy of the Beneficial Occupancy Space, (ii) a certificate of occupancy, temporary certificate of occupancy, or its legal equivalent shall have been issued by the appropriate governmental authorities for the Beneficial Occupancy Space, as may be required by such governmental authorities in order for Tenant to legally occupy the Beneficial Occupancy Space, and (iii) all of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply (other than Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent), including Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses attributable to the Beneficial Occupancy Space, as though the Phase II Lease Commencement Date had occurred (although the Phase II Lease Commencement Date shall not actually occur until the occurrence of the same pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Summary, above) upon such occupancy of the Beneficial Occupancy Space by Tenant.

2.2 Option Terms .

2.2.1 Option Right . Landlord hereby grants to the Original Tenant and any Non-Transferee Assignee two (2) option(s) to extend the Lease Term each for a period of five (5) years (each an “ Option Term ” and, together, the “ Option Terms ”). Such options shall be

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -13-   [TRULIA, INC.]


irrevocably exercised only by written notice (an “ Option Notice ”) delivered by Tenant to Landlord no earlier than fifteen (15) months and no later than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, provided that the following conditions (the “ Option Conditions ”) are satisfied: (i) as of the date of delivery of such notice, Tenant is not in economic or material non-economic default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods expressly set forth in this Lease; (ii) as of the end of the Lease Term, Tenant is not in economic or material non-economic default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods expressly set forth in this Lease; (iii) Tenant has not previously been in economic or material non-economic default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods expressly set forth in this Lease more than two (2) times during the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period; and (iv) the Lease then remains in full force and effect and the Original Tenant or any Permitted Transferee occupies at least fifty-two thousand (52,000) rentable square feet in the Building at the time the option to extend is exercised and as of the commencement of the Option Term. Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, exercised in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, waive any of the Option Conditions in which case the option, if otherwise properly exercised by Tenant, shall remain in full force and effect. Upon the proper exercise of each such option to extend, and provided that Tenant satisfies all of the Option Conditions (except those, if any, which are waived by Landlord), the Lease Term, as it applies to the Premises, shall be extended for a period of five (5) years. The rights contained in this Section 2.2 shall be personal to Original Tenant and any Non-Transferee Assignee and may be exercised by Original Tenant or any Non-Transferee Assignee only (and not by any other assignee, sublessee or Transferee of Tenant’s interest in this Lease).

2.2.2 Option Rent . The annual Rent payable by Tenant during each Option Term (the “ Option Rent ”) shall be equal to the “Fair Market Rent Rate,” as that term is defined below, for the Premises as of the commencement date of such Option Term. The “ Fair Market Rent Rate ,” as used in this Lease, shall be determined by calculating the net rent, which net rent shall then be adjusted on an effective basis, which net effective rent shall then be present valued and reduced by all upfront concessions and, thereafter, shall be future valued into an average annual constant rental rate figure (collectively, the “ Constant Rate Equivalent Approach ”). The Fair Market Rent Rate shall take into consideration any “base year” or “expense stop” applicable thereto), including all escalations, at which tenants (pursuant to leases consummated within the twelve (12) month period preceding the first day of the Option Term), are leasing non-sublease, non-encumbered, non-equity space comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises, for a term of five (5) years, in an arm’s length transaction, which comparable space is located in “Comparable Buildings,” as that term is defined in this Section 2.2.2 , below (transactions satisfying the foregoing criteria shall be known as the “ Comparable Transactions ”), with Comparable Transactions in the Building being given the most weight, and taking into consideration differences in the age and quality of such buildings, the differences in the historical rental rates ascribed to such buildings, the floor height of, and the views from, the comparable space vis-à-vis the subject space, and making adjustments for the following concessions (the “ Concessions ”): (a) rental abatement concessions, if any, being granted such tenants in connection with such comparable space; (b) tenant improvements or allowances provided or to be provided for such comparable space, and taking into account the value, if any, of the existing improvements in the subject space, such value to be based upon the age, condition, design, quality of finishes and layout of the improvements; and (c) other reasonable monetary concessions being granted such tenants in connection with such comparable space;

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -14-   [TRULIA, INC.]


provided, however, that in calculating the Fair Market Rent Rate, no consideration shall be given to any period of rental abatement, if any, granted to tenants in comparable transactions in connection with the design, permitting and construction of tenant improvements in such comparable spaces. If, upon request by Tenant, Landlord provides a tenant improvement allowance as set forth below, the Fair Market Rent Rate shall additionally include a separate determination (which shall not affect the rental amount that is determined to be the Option Rent) as to whether, and if so to what extent, Tenant must provide Landlord with a letter of credit (or an increase in the L-C Amount required pursuant to the terms of Article  27 of this Lease, below), for Tenant’s Rent obligations in connection with Tenant’s lease of the Premises during the Option Term (or Tenant’s lease of First Offer Space, as applicable). Such determination shall be made by reviewing the extent of financial security then generally being imposed in Comparable Transactions with comparable tenant improvement allowances with respect to tenants of comparable financial condition and credit history to the then existing financial condition and credit history of Tenant (with appropriate adjustments to account for differences in the then-existing financial condition of Tenant and such other tenants). The Concessions (A) shall be reflected in the effective rental rate (which effective rental rate shall take into consideration the total dollar value of such Concessions as amortized on a straight-line basis over the applicable term of the Comparable Transaction (in which case such Concessions evidenced in the effective rental rate shall not be granted to Tenant in kind)) payable by Tenant, or (B) at Tenant’s request, subject to Landlord’s approval, all such Concessions shall be granted to Tenant in kind; provided, however, if Tenant requests all or a portion of such Concessions to be granted to Tenant in kind and Landlord does not approve such request by Tenant, then Landlord shall provide Tenant with an improvement allowance in an amount reasonably sufficient to allow Tenant to re-carpet and re-paint the Premises (and any remaining Concessions, including any additional improvement allowance owed to Tenant, shall be reflected in the effective rental rate pursuant to item (A), above). For purposes of this Lease, the term “ Comparable Buildings ” shall mean first-class multi-tenant occupancy office buildings which are comparable to the Building in terms of age (based upon the date of completion of construction or major renovation), quality of construction, level of services and amenities (including, but not limited to, the type (e.g., surface, covered, subterranean) and amount of parking), views, size and appearance, and are located in the “ Comparable Area, ” which is the area bound by the Embarcadero to the North side of Harrison Street, the East side of Third Street and the South side of Market Street (the “ South Financial District ”). In addition, in determining the Fair Market Rent Rate, the difference between the Building and the Comparable Buildings in terms of level LEED certification, raised floor base building systems, and proximity to mass transit, shall be taken into account and the Fair Market Rent Rate shall be appropriately adjusted (to the extent such factors normally affect the rent received by the landlord of the Comparable Buildings) to reflect the existence or non-existence of such factors. In the event the Neutral Arbitrator determines that there are not enough Comparable Transactions in the Comparable Area in order to accurately determine the Fair Market Rent Rate, then the Comparable Area shall be expanded to include the area which is bound by the Embarcadero to the North side of Market Street, the South side of Washington Street, and the East side of Kearny Street (the “ North Financial District ”); provided, however, the rental rates in any Comparable Transaction located in the North Financial District shall be adjusted to account for the historical differences in rental rates typically achieved in the South Financial District as compared to the historical differences in rental rates typically achieved in the North Financial District.

2.2.3 Determination of Option Rent . In the event Tenant timely and appropriately exercises (i) an option to extend the Lease Term pursuant to Section 2.2.1 , above, (ii) Tenant’s right to lease Expansion Space pursuant to Section 1.4 , above, or (iii) Tenant’s right of first offer pursuant to Section 1.5 , above, then Landlord shall deliver written notice (the “ Landlord Response Notice ”) to Tenant on or before the date which is thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Exercise Notice (or Expansion Exercise Notice or First Offer Exercise Notice, as applicable) of Landlord’s determination of the Option Rent (or Expansion Rent or First Offer Rent, as applicable). All references to “Option Rent” in this Section 2.2.3 shall be deemed to refer to Option Rent, Expansion Rent or First Offer Rent, as applicable. Within ten (10) days following its receipt of the Landlord Response Notice, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether it accepts or objects to the Option Rent set forth in Landlord’s Response Notice. In the event that Tenant in good faith objects to Landlord’s determination of the Option Rent, then Landlord and Tenant shall meet and attempt to agree upon the Option Rent using their best good-faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement on or before the date that is ninety (90) days (A) prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term (B) prior to the applicable Expansion Space Commencement Date, or (C) following Tenant’s objection to the First Offer Rent set forth in a First Offer Notice, as applicable (each, an “ Outside Agreement Date ”), then the Option Rent shall be determined by arbitration pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.2.3 . Each party shall make a separate determination of the Option Rent, within five (5) days following the Outside Agreement Date, and such determinations shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Section 2.2.3.1 through Section 2.2.3.4 , below. The determination of the arbitrators shall be made by taking into consideration all Comparable Transactions as calculated under the Constant Rate Equivalent Approach.

2.2.3.1 Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be a MAI appraiser, real estate broker, or real estate lawyer who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the appraising and/or leasing of institutionally-owned properties in the vicinity of the Building. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue area of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Option Rent is the closest to the actual Option Rent as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of Section 2.2.2 , above. Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date. Landlord and Tenant may consult with their selected arbitrators prior to appointment and may select an arbitrator who is favorable to their respective positions (including an arbitrator who has previously represented Landlord and/or Tenant, as applicable). The arbitrators so selected by Landlord and Tenant shall be deemed “ Advocate Arbitrators .”

2.2.3.2 The two Advocate Arbitrators so appointed shall be specifically required pursuant to an engagement letter within ten (10) days of the appointment of the last appointed Advocate Arbitrator to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator (“ Neutral Arbitrator ”) who shall be an appraiser (as opposed to a real estate broker or an attorney) qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the two Advocate Arbitrators except that (i) neither the Landlord or Tenant or either parties’ Advocate Arbitrator may, directly, or indirectly, consult with the Neutral Arbitrator prior or subsequent to his or her appearance, and (ii) the Neutral Arbitrator cannot be someone who has represented Landlord and/or Tenant during the five (5) year period prior to such appointment. The Neutral Arbitrator shall be retained via an engagement letter jointly prepared by Landlord’s counsel and Tenant’s counsel.

4.4 Calculation and Payment of Building Direct Expenses . Each Expense Year ending or commencing within the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, in the manner set forth in Section 4.4.1 , below.

4.4.1 Statement of Actual Building Direct Expenses and Payment by Tenant . Landlord shall give to Tenant within one hundred eighty (180) days following the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the “ Statement ”), prepared on a line-item by line-item basis as to general categories, which shall state the Building Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and which shall indicate the amount of Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses. Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year commencing or ending during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days, the full amount of Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as “Estimated Building Direct Expenses,” as that term is defined in Section 4.4.2 , below. If the amounts paid by Tenant during an Expense Year as Estimated Building Direct Expenses exceed Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, then such difference shall be reimbursed by Landlord to Tenant, provided that any such reimbursement, at Landlord’s option, may be credited against the Rent next coming due under this Lease unless the Lease Term has expired, in which event Landlord shall promptly refund the appropriate amount to Tenant. Except as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 4.4.1 , the failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord or Tenant from enforcing its rights under this Article 4 . Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, if Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses is greater than the amount of Estimated Building Direct Expenses previously paid by Tenant to Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord such amount within thirty (30) days following receipt by Tenant of the Statement setting forth the Excess. The provisions of this Section 4.4.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, provided that, other than Tax Expenses and costs incurred for utilities, Tenant shall not be responsible for Tenant’s Share of any Operating Expenses which are first billed to Tenant more than two (2) calendar years after the end of the Expense Year to which such Operating Expenses relate.

4.4.2 Statement of Estimated Building Direct Expenses . In addition, Landlord shall give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the “ Estimate Statement ”) which shall set forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate (the “ Estimate ”) of the total amount of Building Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year and the estimated Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses (the “ Estimated Building Direct Expenses ”). The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Building Direct Expenses under this Article 4 , nor shall Landlord be prohibited from revising any Estimate Statement or Estimated Building Direct Expenses theretofore delivered to the extent deemed reasonably necessary by Landlord; provided, however, that (i) Landlord shall not revise the Estimate Statement delivered for an Expense Year more than once during an Expense Year, and (ii) any such subsequent revision shall set forth on a reasonably specific basis any particular expense increase. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, a fraction of the Estimated Building Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.4.2 ). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -28-   [TRULIA, INC.]


months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year, including the month of such payment, and twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished (which Landlord shall have the right to deliver to Tenant at any time), Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Building Direct Expenses set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant. Throughout the Lease Term Landlord shall maintain books and records with respect to Building Direct Expenses in accordance with sound real estate management and accounting principles, consistently applied.

4.5 Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible .

4.5.1 Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay before delinquency, taxes levied against Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property located in or about the Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such equipment, furniture, fixtures or any other personal property and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment, as the case may be, provided that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce this provision against all tenants of the Project (to the extent allowed pursuant to the terms of each such tenant’s lease) in a non-discriminatory manner.

4.5.2 If the tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed and/or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which tenant improvements conforming to Landlord’s “building standard” in other space in the Building are assessed, then the Tax Expenses levied against Landlord or the property by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.5.1 , above, provided that the above “ building standard ” charges payable by Tenant as set forth herein shall only be due to the extent Landlord charges all other office tenants of the Building for overstandard tenant improvements (to the extent such charges are applicable).

4.5.3 Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, to the extent not included in Tax Expenses, Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency any (i) rent tax or sales tax, service tax, transfer tax or value added tax, business tax or any other applicable tax on the rent or services herein or otherwise respecting this Lease, (ii) taxes assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Project, including the Project parking facility; or (iii) taxes assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.

4.6 Calculation and Payment of Capital Expenses . Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on a monthly basis, as Additional Rent and in addition to Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses, an amount equal

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -29-   [TRULIA, INC.]


to Tenant’s Share of all Capital Expenses incurred by Landlord for any Expense Year; provided, however, any such Capital Expenses shall be amortized (including interest on the unamortized cost at an annual interest rate reasonably determined by Landlord) over its useful life as Landlord shall reasonably determine in accordance with sound real estate management and accounting principles, and Tenant shall only be obligated to pay Tenant’s Share of such amortized amount for that portion of the useful life that falls within the Lease Term; provided further, however, that Cost-Saving Expenditures shall only be included in Capital Expenses to the extent that, on the basis of engineering studies made available to Tenant, a particular capital expenditure is reasonably estimated to result in savings in Operating Expenses, including, without limitation, energy related costs, and if such projected savings will, on an annual basis (“ Projected Annual Savings ”), exceed the annual amortization therefor, then and in such event the amount of amortization for such capital expenditure shall be increased to an amount equal to the Projected Annual Savings; and in such circumstance, the increased amortization (in the amount of the Projected Annual Savings) shall be made for such period of time as it would take to fully amortize the cost of the item in question, together with interest thereon at the interest rate as aforesaid in equal monthly payments, each in the amount of 1/12th of the Projected Annual Savings, with such payment to be applied first to interest and the balance to principal. The amount of Capital Expenses incurred by Landlord, as well as Tenant’s Share of such Capital Expenses, shall be set forth on each Statement and each Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord Tenant and Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of such Capital Expenses at the same time and in the same manner as Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of Building Direct Expenses.

4.7 Landlord’s Books and Records . Following Tenant’s receipt of the Statement for any Expense Year, Tenant shall have the right, upon prior written notice to Landlord (“ Audit Notice ”) within ninety (90) days following the delivery of such Statement (the “ Review Period ”), to commence an audit of Landlord’s books and records concerning the Building Direct Expenses for the Landlord’s fiscal year that is the subject of such statement (the “ Records ”). Tenant shall complete any audit within ninety (90) days following the commencement thereof. Following delivery of an Audit Notice, and provided Tenant is not then in monetary or material non-monetary default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods expressly set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole cost, during Landlord’s regular business hours and on reasonable prior notice to Landlord, to audit the Records at Landlord’s principal business office in San Francisco, California (or at any other location in northern California designated by Landlord). Such audit shall occur within thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Audit Notice. Tenant’s audit of the Records pursuant to this Section 4.7 shall be conducted only by a reputable independent nationally or regionally recognized certified public accounting firm, subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval, which accounting firm: (i) shall have previous experience in auditing financial operating records of landlords of office buildings; (ii) shall not be retained by Tenant on a contingency fee basis (i.e. Tenant must be billed based on the actual time and materials that are incurred by the accounting firm in the performance of the audit), and a copy of the executed audit agreement between Tenant and auditor shall be provided to Landlord prior to the commencement of the audit; and (iii) at Landlord’s option, both Tenant and auditor shall be required to execute a commercially reasonable confidentially agreement prepared by Landlord. Any audit report prepared by Tenant’s auditors shall be delivered concurrently to Landlord and Tenant promptly upon completion thereof. If, after such audit of the Records, Tenant disputes the amount of Building Direct Expenses for the Expense Year under audit, Landlord and Tenant shall meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -30-   [TRULIA, INC.]


dispute. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days after completion of Tenant’s audit, then, at Tenant’s request, a certified public accounting firm selected by Landlord, and reasonably approved by Tenant, shall, at Tenant’s cost, conduct an audit of the relevant Building Direct Expenses (the “ Neutral Audit ”). Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses of the Neutral Audit unless the final determination in such Neutral Audit is that Landlord overstated Building Direct Expenses in the Statement for the Expense Year being audited by more than five percent (5%), in which case Landlord shall pay the actual and reasonable costs and expenses of the Neutral Audit, in an amount not to exceed Ten Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000.00). In any event, Landlord will promptly reimburse Tenant or provide a credit for any overstatement of Building Direct Expenses, and Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord any understatement of Building Direct Expenses. To the extent Landlord and Tenant fail to otherwise reach mutual agreement regarding Building Direct Expenses, the foregoing audit and Neutral Audit procedures shall be the sole methods to be used by Tenant to dispute the amount of any Building Direct Expenses payable by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way materially obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building, or injure or unreasonably annoy them or use or allow the Premises to be used for any unlawful purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall comply with, and Tenant’s rights and obligations under the Lease and Tenant’s use of the Premises shall be subject and subordinate to, all easements, covenants, conditions, and restrictions affecting the Project which are first recorded after the date of this Lease; provided, however, any such instrument shall not (and could not by its terms) materially and adversely affect Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, increase any obligations or decrease any rights of Tenant hereunder, nor shall any such instrument increase the rights or decrease the obligations of Landlord

Landlord shall remediate any Hazardous Substance to the extent that (a) such Hazardous Substance was not brought onto the Project by, or permitted to be brought onto the Project by, Tenant or a Tenant Party, and (b) Landlord’s failure to remediate would be in violation of Applicable Laws and would (1) prevent Tenant from obtaining or maintaining a certificate of occupancy for the Premises, (2) create a material risk to the safety or health of Tenant’s employees, (3) otherwise materially and adversely affect Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises.

5.4 Bicycle Storage Area . Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right, at no additional cost to Tenant, to utilize that portion of the Building’s parking garage designated by Landlord for the parking of non-motorized bicycles by tenants and occupants of the Building (the “ Bicycle Storage Area ”), which Bicycle Storage Area shall (a) be non-exclusive for each tenant of the Building, and (b) be of a size to reasonably accommodate at least sixty (60) bicycles, with sufficient locker or rack space to safely secure each bicycle.

Furthermore, Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for a loss of, or injury to, property or for injury to, or interference with, Tenant’s business, including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to a failure to furnish any of the services or utilities as set forth in this Article 6 , provided that the foregoing shall not limit Landlord’s liability, if any, pursuant to Applicable Laws for bodily injury and property damage to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors.

building codes. Subject to Landlord’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and compliance with all Applicable Laws, Tenant shall have the right to install a security system in accordance with Article 8 of this Lease to restrict access to the Premises from the fire stairs and make cosmetic, non-structural alterations to the fire stairs used by Tenant pursuant to this Section 6.4 .

Landlord makes no representations or warranties whatsoever with respect to the condition of the roof of the Building, or the fitness or suitability of the roof of the Building for the installation, maintenance and operation of the Telecommunications Equipment, including, without limitation, with respect to the quality and clarity of any receptions and transmissions to or from the Telecommunications Equipment and the presence of any interference with such signals whether emanating from the Building or otherwise. The physical appearance and the size of the Telecommunications Equipment shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval, the location of any such installation of the Telecommunications Equipment shall be designated by Tenant subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval and Landlord may require Tenant to install screening around such Telecommunications Equipment, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, as reasonably designated by Landlord. Tenant shall maintain such Telecommunications Equipment, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Landlord in approving such Telecommunications Equipment. Tenant shall remove such Telecommunications Equipment upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, and shall return the affected portion of the rooftop and the Premises to the condition the rooftop and the Premises would have been in had no such Telecommunications Equipment been installed (reasonable wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted), unless Landlord, in its sole discretion, elects in a written notice to Tenant to keep all or any portion of such Telecommunications Equipment, in which case such Telecommunications Equipment shall be surrendered by Tenant to Landlord, and shall be and become the property of Landlord without the necessity of any further written documentation (unless reasonably requested by Landlord), upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, provided Landlord pays to Tenant the fair market value of the Telecommunications Equipment retained by Landlord. Such Telecommunications Equipment shall be installed pursuant to plans and specifications approved by Landlord (specifically including, without limitation, all mounting and waterproofing details), which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Notwithstanding any such review or approval by Landlord, Tenant shall remain solely liable for any damage to any portion of the roof or roof membrane, specifically including any penetrations, in connection with Tenant’s installation, use, maintenance and/or repair of such Telecommunications Equipment, and Landlord shall have no liability therewith. Such Telecommunications Equipment shall, in all instances, comply with all

  -37-   [TRULIA, INC.]


Applicable Laws. Tenant shall not be entitled to license its Telecommunications Equipment to any unrelated third party, nor shall Tenant be permitted to receive any revenues, fees or any other consideration for the use of such Telecommunications Equipment by an third party. Tenant hereby expressly acknowledges that Landlord shall have the right (i) to itself utilize any rooftop space for the use of equipment, and (ii) to re-sell, license or lease any rooftop space to any third party for the use of equipment; provided, however, that so long as Tenant and the Telecommunications Equipment are in compliance with Applicable Laws and this Lease (including, without limitation, the operation of such Telecommunications Equipment within permitted frequencies), then (A) any third party use permitted by Landlord after the installation of the Telecommunications Equipment shall not unreasonably interfere with the Telecommunications Equipment or signals or services provided to Tenant thereby, and (B) Tenant’s rights under this Section 6.5 shall be superior to the rights of any third parties which buy, license or lease rooftop space at the Project.

ARTICLE 7

REPAIRS

Landlord shall at all times during the Lease Term maintain in good condition and operating order the structural portions of the Building, including, without limitation, the foundation, floor slabs, ceilings, roof, columns, beams, shafts, stairs, stairwells, escalators, elevators, Base Building restrooms and all Common Areas (collectively, the “ Building Structure ”), and the Base Building mechanical, electrical, life safety, plumbing, sprinkler and HVAC systems installed or furnished by Landlord (collectively, the “ Building Systems ”). Except as specifically set forth in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not be required to repair the Building Structure and/or the Building Systems, except to the extent required because of Tenant’s use of the Premises for other than normal and customary business office operations. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense, keep the Premises, including all improvements, fixtures and furnishings therein, and the floor or floors of the Building on which the Premises are located, in good order, repair and condition at all times during the Lease Term, except for (a) damage caused by ordinary wear and tear or beyond the reasonable control of Tenant, (b) damage caused by fire or other casualty (which damage caused by fire or other casualty shall be governed by the terms of Article 11 of this Lease), (c) damage caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or the Landlord Parties, and (d) damage that Landlord is required to repair or that results from Landlord’s breach of its obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that, Landlord shall have the exclusive right, at Landlord’s option, but not the obligation, to make such repairs and replacements at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. In the event that Landlord elects to make any such repair, Landlord hereby agrees that (1) the cost to Tenant of such repair shall be reasonably priced vis-à-vis the cost to Tenant if Tenant had contracted directly for such repair with another qualified contractor approved by Landlord, and (2) the time period required to complete such repair shall not be materially longer than the time period required to complete such repair had Tenant contracted directly for such repair with a qualified contractor approved by Landlord. In the event Landlord does not elect to make such repairs and replacements, then such repairs shall be performed by a contractor (and subcontractors, as necessary) retained by Tenant and approved by Landlord to perform work at the Project, provided that Landlord shall have the right to require the use of designated contractors or vendors with respect to work on the Building Structure or Building Systems (the “ Major Trades ”). Such contractor(s) shall follow

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -38-   [TRULIA, INC.]


Landlord’s reasonable and non-discriminatory construction administration procedures and utilize the standard specifications and details for the Building, all as promulgated by Landlord from time to time. Subject to the terms of Section 19.5 and Article 27 of this Lease below, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, enter the Premises at all reasonable times to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the Project or to any equipment located in the Project as Landlord shall desire or deem necessary or as Landlord may be required to do by governmental or quasi-governmental authority or court order or decree. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights under and benefits of subsection 1 of Section 1932 and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code or under any similar law, statute, or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.

ARTICLE 8

ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS

8.1 Landlord’s Consent to Alterations . Tenant may not make or suffer to be made any improvements, alterations, additions, changes, or repairs (pursuant to Article 7 or otherwise) to the Premises or any mechanical, plumbing or HVAC facilities or systems pertaining to the Premises (collectively, the “ Alterations ”) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article 8 , and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord, provided it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any Alteration which adversely affects the Building Structure or Building Systems or equipment, or is visible from the exterior of the Building (each, a “ Material Alteration ” and, collectively, “ Material Alterations ”). Landlord may impose, as a condition of its consent to any and all Alterations or repairs of the Premises or about the Premises, reasonable requirements, provided that such requirements may be imposed in Landlord’s sole discretion in connection with any Material Alteration. The construction of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8 . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article 8 , Landlord expressly agrees that if at any time during the Lease Term the Premises shall be located on two (2) or more contiguous floors in the Building, Tenant shall have the right, subject to Landlord’s prior written approval of Tenant’s plans and specifications, and subject to all Applicable Laws and the remaining provisions of this Article 8 and this Lease, to construct an internal stairwell between such contiguous floors of the Premises. In the event that any modifications to the Building Structure or Building Systems are required by Applicable Law as a result of Tenant’s installation and construction of any internal stairwell as provided in this Section 8.1 , such costs and expenses shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. Within thirty (30) days following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs of removing any such internal stairwell and repairing any damage caused by such removal unless Landlord has, on or before the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, entered into a lease with a succeeding tenant for the then-existing Premises, and such tenant elects to use such internal stairwell and agrees in writing to reimburse Landlord for the cost of removing the stairwell and repairing any damage caused by such removal upon the expiration or earlier termination of such succeeding tenant’s lease.

8.2 Manner of Construction . Landlord shall have the exclusive right, at Landlord’s option, but not the obligation, to make the Alterations at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, provided, however, that if Landlord elects to make any such Alteration, Landlord hereby agrees that (a) the cost to Tenant of such Alteration shall be reasonably priced vis-à-vis the cost to Tenant if Tenant had contracted directly for such Alteration with another qualified general contractor approved by Landlord to perform work in the Project, and (b) the time period required to construct such Alteration shall not be materially longer than the time period required to construct such Alteration had Tenant contracted directly for such Alteration with a qualified general contractor approved by Landlord. If Landlord elects to make the Alterations pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then Landlord shall inform Tenant of such election within five (5) business days following the date upon which Tenant requests Landlord consent to such Alteration pursuant to Section 8.1 of this Lease, above, and Tenant shall retain Landlord to construct such Alterations and Landlord shall hold all applicable construction contracts. If Landlord does not elect to perform any such Alteration (which Alteration has otherwise been approved by Landlord), then Tenant shall perform such Alteration pursuant to the terms of this Article 8 , to the extent applicable as reasonably determined by Landlord. Prior to the commencement of construction of any Alterations or repairs, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and approval in its reasonable discretion, four (4) copies signed by Tenant of all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto. Landlord shall review and approve or disapprove all such plans, specifications and working drawings within fifteen (15) days following the date upon which Tenant submits the same to Landlord, except that Landlord shall have fifteen (15) business days following the date upon which Tenant submits the same to Landlord to review and approve such plans, specifications and working drawings in the event that the nature of the Alterations or repairs is such that (I) review of the plans, specifications and working drawings related thereto cannot reasonably be completed within fifteen (15) days, or (II) Landlord needs to send the plans, specifications and working drawings out for third-party review; provided, however, if Landlord disapproves of any such plans, specifications or working drawings, then Landlord shall set forth with reasonable specificity the grounds for such disapproval. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall retain an architect/space planner subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval, to prepare such plans, specifications and working drawings; provided that, Tenant shall retain the engineering consultants from a list of at least three (3) names provided by Landlord to prepare all plans and engineering working drawings, if any, relating to the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, life-safety and sprinkler work of the Alterations. Tenant shall be required to include in its contracts with the architect and the engineers a provision which requires ownership of all architectural and engineering drawings to be transferred to Tenant upon the substantial completion of the Alteration and Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a non-exclusive right to use such drawings, including, without limitation, a right to make copies thereof. Tenant shall cause each architect/space planner and engineer retained by Tenant to follow Landlord’s reasonable and non-discriminatory construction administration procedures and to utilize the standard specifications and details for the Building, all as promulgated by Landlord from time to time. Tenant and Tenant’s architect/space planner shall verify, in the field, the dimensions and conditions as shown on the relevant portions of the Base Building plans, and Tenant and Tenant’s architect/space planner shall be solely responsible for the same, and Landlord shall have no responsibility in connection therewith. In addition, in the event that Tenant retains an architect/space planner that is not on Landlord’s list of designated or approved architects/space planners for the Building, then at Landlord’s option, Landlord may

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -40-   [TRULIA, INC.]


submit Tenant’s plans, specifications and working drawings to a third-party architect and/or engineer, selected by Landlord, for their review, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Landlord’s review of plans, specifications and working drawings as set forth in this Section 8.2 , 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, compliance with applicable building codes or other like matters. Accordingly, notwithstanding that any plans, specifications or working 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 plans, specifications and working drawings for the Alterations, and Tenant’s waiver and indemnity set forth in Section 10.1 of this Lease, below, shall specifically apply to the plans, specifications and working drawings for the Alterations. Following Landlord’s approval in its reasonable discretion of all plans, specifications and working drawings for the Alterations, a contractor to construct the Alterations shall be selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord (except that Landlord shall have the right to designate contractors to perform the work of the Major Trades) to perform work at the Project, provided that Tenant shall have the right to require multiple contractors on Landlord’s list to bid the project; and provided, further, that if Landlord elects to make the Alterations, then (A) Landlord shall obtain competitive bids from at least three (3) qualified general contractors approved by Landlord to perform work in the Building; (B) Landlord shall require such general contractors to obtain competitive bids for each major trade (as reasonably determined by Landlord) from at least three (3) subcontractors approved by Landlord to perform work in the Building; (C) Tenant shall have the right to review all bids and to select any bidder (except with respect to Material Alterations, in which event Landlord shall have the right to select the bidder); (D) the construction contract shall expressly acknowledge that Tenant is a third-party beneficiary thereunder and shall authorize Tenant to directly enforce all warranties or guarantees; and (E) Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the terms of the construction contract. Landlord shall provide to Tenant an itemized statement of costs, as set forth in the proposed contract with such contractor (the “ Alteration Contract ”), which costs form a basis for the amount of the Alteration Contract (the “ Alteration Contract Amount ”). Tenant, in consultation with Landlord, shall review the itemized statement of costs provided to Tenant in accordance with this Section 8.2 , and upon receipt of Tenant’s approval of such itemized statement of costs by Landlord, Landlord shall be released by Tenant (i) to retain the contractor who submitted such itemized statement of costs, and (ii) to purchase the items set forth in such itemized statement of costs and to commence the construction relating to such items. Landlord shall execute a commercially reasonable construction contract with the contractor which shall guaranty, on commercially reasonable terms, that the Alterations shall be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of at least one (1) year from the date of substantial completion, and Landlord shall, at Landlord’s cost and expense, cause any defects in workmanship or materials which are discovered within such one (1) year time period to be promptly corrected. Landlord hereby assigns to Tenant all warranties and guaranties by the contractor selected in accordance with this Section 8.2 to construct the Alterations. Subject to Landlord’s obligation to correct defects in workmanship or materials which are discovered within one (1) year following substantial completion of the Alteration, as set forth above, and subject to any liability arising under Section 10.1 , below, Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord relating to, or arising out of the construction

  -41-   [TRULIA, INC.]


of, the Alterations (provided that Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the amount of any commercially reasonable deductible actually paid by Tenant under the insurance required under the terms of Sections 8.4 and 10.14 , below). In the event Tenant requests any Alterations in the Premises which require or give rise to governmentally required changes to the “Base Building,” as that term is defined below, then Landlord shall, at Tenant’s expense, make such changes to the Base Building; provided that in the event that Tenant’s request for approval of any Alteration shall indicate Tenant’s desire for Landlord to notify Tenant of any such Base Building changes, Landlord shall notify Tenant (to the extent Landlord is then aware of any such required changes), in its approval of such Alterations (if applicable), and Tenant shall be permitted, at its option, to promptly elect to not have the Alterations performed. As used in this Lease, the “ Base Building ” shall of the Building Structure and the Building Systems. The term “Base Building,” as used in this Lease, shall not be deemed to have the same meaning as the term “Base, Shell and Core,” as the same is defined in Section 1 of the Tenant Work Letter. In performing the work of any Alterations for which Tenant is responsible, Tenant shall have the work performed in such manner so as not to unreasonably obstruct access to the Project or any portion thereof, by any other tenant of the Project, and so as not to unreasonably obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants in the Project. In addition, any Alteration that requires the use of Building risers, raceways, shafts and/or conduits, shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable rules, regulations, and restrictions, including the requirement that any cabling vender must be selected from a list of at least three (3) names approved by Landlord to perform work at the Project, and that the amount and location of any such cabling must be approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers (“ Tenant’s Agents ”) used or selected by Tenant shall be from a list of at least three (3) names for each major trade approved by Landlord to perform work at the Project. Tenant shall not use (and upon notice from Landlord shall cease using) contractors, services, workmen, labor, materials or equipment that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, would disturb labor harmony with the workforce or trades engaged in performing other work, labor or services in or about the Building or the Common Areas. In addition to Tenant’s obligations under Article 9 of this Lease, upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant agrees to cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the County in which the Project is located in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, and Tenant shall deliver to the Project construction manager (1) a reproducible copy of the “as built” drawings of the Alterations (provided that in the event that “as built” drawings are not reasonably available, Tenant shall be permitted to provide a copy of the approved drawings for the Alterations, marked with field modifications), (2) a computer disc containing the same (to the extent reasonably available), and (3) all permits, approvals and other documents issued by any governmental agency in connection with the Alterations. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Article 8 to the contrary, construction of an Alteration shall not commence until (x) the Alteration Contract has been fully executed and delivered to Landlord, and (y) Tenant has procured, and delivered to Landlord a copy of, all applicable permits.

8.3 Payment for Improvements . If Landlord elects to make an Alteration, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as provided in this Section 8.3 , an amount (the “ Alteration Amount ”) equal to sum of (1) the Alteration Contract Amount, and (2) all other reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord and related to the construction of the Alterations, including, without limitation, the following items and costs: (i) all amounts actually paid by Landlord to any architect/space planner, engineer, consultant, contractor, subcontractor, mechanic,

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -42-   [TRULIA, INC.]


materialman or other person, whether retained by Landlord or Tenant, in connection with the Alterations, and all fees incurred by, and the actual cost of documents and materials supplied by, Landlord and Landlord’s consultants in connection with the preparation and review of all plans, specifications and working drawings for the Alterations; (ii) all plan check, permit and license fees relating to construction of the Alterations paid by Landlord; (iii) the reasonable cost of any changes in the Base Building when such changes are required by any plans, specifications or working drawings for the Alterations (including if such changes are due to the fact that such work is prepared on an unoccupied basis), such cost to include all direct architectural and/or engineering fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith; (iv) the cost of any changes to the plans, specifications and working drawings for the Alterations or to the Alterations themselves required by all Applicable Laws and paid by Landlord; (v) sales and use taxes and Title 24 fees imposed on, assessed against or paid by Landlord; (vi) Landlord’s standard supervision fee for its involvement with such Alterations, which supervision fee shall be equal to the sum of (A) seven percent (7%) of the first $100,000.00 of the “hard” costs of each such Alteration, and (B) three and one-half percent (3.5%) of the “hard” costs of each such Alteration thereafter; and (vii) all other reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the construction of the Alterations. Landlord shall invoice Tenant for such Alteration Amount, on a monthly basis, based on the percentage of such Alteration that has been completed. In the event that, after Tenant’s approval of a cost proposal for the Alterations in accordance with Section 8.2 , above, any revisions, changes or substitutions shall be made to the plans, specifications and working drawings or the Alterations, any additional costs which arise in connection with such revisions, changes or substitutions or any other additional costs shall be added to the Alteration Amount and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. In the event Tenant fails to make a required payment to Landlord with respect to any Alterations, within the applicable time periods set forth in this Section 8.3 , Tenant shall be deemed in default of this Lease (subject to the notice and cure rights set forth in Section 19.1 of this Lease), and in addition to all of Landlord’s rights and remedies provided in this Lease, (aa) Landlord shall have the right to immediately stop the construction of any such Alterations until such time as Tenant has paid to Landlord all amounts due and owing to Landlord hereunder, and (bb) any delays in the construction of the Alterations caused by such stoppage by Landlord shall be deemed caused by Tenant.

8.4 Construction Insurance . In addition to the requirements of Article 10 of this Lease, in the event that any Alterations are made pursuant to this Article 8 , prior to the commencement of such Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence that Tenant or Tenant’s contractor carries “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount reasonably approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, it being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 10 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof. In addition, Landlord may, in its discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee, when the cost of such Alterations exceeds $250,000.00.

8.5 Landlord’s Property . All Alterations, improvements, fixtures, equipment and/or appurtenances which may be installed or placed by or on behalf of Tenant in or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and any permanently affixed

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -43-   [TRULIA, INC.]


Alterations, improvements, equipment and/or appurtenances shall be and become the property of Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant prior to the end of the Lease Term, or given following any earlier termination of this Lease, require Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to remove any “Above Standard Alterations”, as that term is defined below, and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and return the affected portion of the Premises to substantially the same condition existing prior to the installation of such Alterations or improvements; provided, however, if at the time Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to any Alterations pursuant to this Article 8 Tenant also requests in writing Landlord’s determination as to whether Landlord will require the removal of such Alterations upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then Landlord shall notify Tenant of any such required removal and/or restoration together with Landlord’s consent for such Alternations (if such consent is given). As used in this Lease, “ Above Standard Alterations ” shall mean any part of any Alterations which do not constitute normal and customary general office improvements as reasonably determined by Landlord, and shall include, without limitation, improvements such as voice, data and other cabling, raised floors, floor penetrations, any installations outside of the Premises, or any areas requiring floor reinforcement, personal baths and showers, vaults, rolling file systems and structural alterations of any type. The removal of the Tenant Improvements constructed in the Premises pursuant to the Tenant Work Letter shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter. If Tenant fails to complete any required removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any Alterations or improvements in the Premises and return the affected portion of the Premises to substantially the same condition existing prior to the installation of such Alterations or improvements prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then Rent shall continue to accrue under this Lease in accordance with Article 16 , below, after the end of the Lease Term until such work shall be completed, and Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, on five (5) days’ written notice to Tenant, to perform such work and to charge the actual and reasonable cost thereof to Tenant. Tenant hereby protects, defends, indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any liability, cost, obligation, expense or claim of lien, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, in any manner relating to the installation, placement, removal or financing by or on behalf of Tenant of any such Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises, which obligations of Tenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 9

COVENANT AGAINST LIENS

Tenant shall keep the Project and Premises free from any liens or encumbrances arising out of the work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant, and shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, judgments or costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of same or in connection therewith. Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement of any work on the Premises which may give rise to a lien on the Premises, Building or Project (or such additional time as may be necessary under Applicable Laws) to afford Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording appropriate notices of non-responsibility. Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance by bond or otherwise within ten (10) days after notice by Landlord, and if Tenant shall fail to do so,

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -44-   [TRULIA, INC.]


Landlord may pay the amount necessary to remove such lien or encumbrance, without being responsible for investigating the validity thereof. The amount so paid shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease payable upon demand, without limitation as to other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Nothing contained in this Lease shall authorize Tenant to do any act which shall subject Landlord’s title to the Building or Premises to any liens or encumbrances whether claimed by operation of law or express or implied contract. Any claim to a lien or encumbrance upon the Building or Premises arising in connection with any such work or respecting the Premises not performed by or at the request of Landlord shall be null and void, or at Landlord’s option shall attach only against Tenant’s interest in the Premises and shall in all respects be subordinate to Landlord’s title to the Project, Building and Premises.

ARTICLE 10

TENANT’S INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE

10.1 Tenant’s Indemnity .

10.1.1 Indemnity . To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tenant waives any right to contribution against the “Landlord Parties,” as that term is defined in Section 10.13 , below, and agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Landlord Parties from and against all claims of whatever nature arising from or claimed to have arisen from (i) any act, omission or negligence of the Tenant Parties; (ii) any accident, injury or damage whatsoever caused to any person, or to the property of any person, occurring in or about the Premises from the earlier of (A) the date on which any Tenant Party first enters the Premises for any reason or (B) the Lease Commencement Date, and thereafter throughout and until the end of the Lease Term and after the end of the Lease Term for as long as Tenant or anyone acting by, through or under Tenant is in occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof; (iii) any accident, injury or damage whatsoever occurring outside the Premises but within the Project, where such accident, injury or damage results, or is claimed to have resulted, from any act, omission or negligence on the part of any of the Tenant Parties; or (iv) any breach of this Lease by Tenant. Tenant shall pay such indemnified amounts as they are incurred by the Landlord Parties. This indemnification shall not be construed to deny or reduce any other rights or obligations of indemnity that a Landlord Party may have under this Lease or the common law. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the terms of the foregoing indemnity and waiver shall not apply to the extent any loss, cost, damage, expense or liability is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or the Landlord Parties. Landlord shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the Tenant Parties from and against all claims of whatever nature arising from or claimed to arise from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord Parties in, on, or about the Project, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant Parties. Landlord shall pay such indemnified amounts as they are incurred by Tenant Parties. This indemnification shall not be construed to deny or reduce any other rights or obligations of indemnity that a Tenant Party may have under this Lease or the common law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, either party’s agreement to indemnify the other party as set forth in this Section 10.1.1 shall be ineffective to the extent the matters for which such party agreed to indemnify the other party are of a nature covered by, or are required to be covered by, insurance required to be carried by the non-indemnifying party pursuant to this Lease (except to the extent of reasonable deductibles). Further, Tenant’s agreement to indemnify Landlord Parties and

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -45-   [TRULIA, INC.]


Landlord’s agreement to indemnify Tenant Parties pursuant to this Section 10.1.1 are not intended to and shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be carried under this Lease, to the extent such policies cover, or if carried, would have covered the matters, subject to the parties’ respective indemnification obligations; nor shall they supersede any inconsistent agreement of the parties set forth in any other provision of this Lease. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability arising in connection with any event occurring prior to such expiration or earlier termination.

10.1.2 Breach . In the event that either party breaches any of its indemnity obligations hereunder or under any other contractual or common law indemnity: (i) the breaching party shall pay to the non-breaching party all liabilities, loss, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred as a result of said breach, and the reasonable value of time expended by the non-breaching party as a result of said breach; and (ii) the non-breaching parties may deduct and offset from any amounts due to the breaching party under this Lease any amounts owed by the breaching party pursuant to this section.

10.1.3 No limitation . The indemnification obligations under this Section shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for Landlord, Tenant or any subtenant or other occupant of the Premises under workers’ compensation acts, disability benefit acts, or other employee benefit acts. Tenant waives any immunity from or limitation on its indemnity or contribution liability to the Landlord Parties based upon such acts. Landlord waives any immunity from or limitation on its indemnity or contribution liability to the Tenant Parties based upon such acts.

10.1.4 Subtenants and other occupants . Tenant shall require its subtenants and other occupants of the Premises to provide similar indemnities to the Landlord Parties in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord.

10.1.5 Survival . The terms of this section shall survive any termination or expiration of this Lease.

10.1.6 Costs . The foregoing indemnity and hold harmless agreement shall include indemnity for all costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Landlord Parties or the Tenant Parties in connection with any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon, and the defense thereof. In addition, in the event that any action or proceeding shall be brought against one or more Landlord Parties or Tenant Parties by reason of any such claim, the indemnifying party, upon request from the indemnified party, shall resist and defend such action or proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party by counsel appointed by indemnifying party’s insurer (if such claim is covered by insurance without reservation) or otherwise by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. The indemnified party shall not be bound by any compromise or settlement of any such claim, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of such indemnified party.

10.2 Tenant’s Risk . Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, Tenant agrees to use and occupy the Premises, and to use such other portions of the Building and the Project as

Tenant is given the right to use by this Lease at Tenant’s own risk. The Landlord Parties shall not be liable to the Tenant Parties for any damage, injury, loss, compensation, or claim (including, but not limited to, claims for the interruption of or loss to a Tenant Party’s business) based on, arising out of or resulting from any cause whatsoever, including, but not limited to, repairs to any portion of the Premises or the Building or the Project, any fire, robbery, theft, mysterious disappearance, or any other crime or casualty, the actions of any other tenants of the Building or of any other person or persons, or any leakage in any part or portion of the Premises or the Building or the Project, or from water, rain or snow that may leak into, or flow from any part of the Premises or the Building or the Project, or from drains, pipes or plumbing fixtures in the Building or the Project. Any goods, property or personal effects stored or placed in or about the Premises shall be at the sole risk of the Tenant Party, and neither the Landlord Parties nor their insurers shall in any manner be held responsible therefor. The Landlord Parties shall not be responsible or liable to a Tenant Party, or to those claiming by, through or under a Tenant Party, for any loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of persons occupying adjoining premises or any part of the premises adjacent to or connecting with the Premises or any part of the Building or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing waiver and release shall not apply to the extent of any injury, loss, damages or liability caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord Parties; provided, however, in no event shall the Landlord Parties have any liability to a Tenant Party based on any loss with respect to or interruption in the operation of Tenant’s business. The provisions of this section shall be applicable until the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, and during such further period as Tenant may use or be in occupancy of any part of the Premises or of the Building.

10.3 Tenant’s Commercial General Liability Insurance . Tenant agrees to maintain in full force on or before the earlier of (i) the date on which any Tenant Party first enters the Premises for any reason, or (ii) the Lease Commencement Date throughout the Lease Term of this Lease, and thereafter, so long as Tenant is in occupancy of any part of the Premises, a policy of commercial general liability insurance, on an occurrence basis, issued on a form at least as broad as Insurance Services Office (“ ISO ”) Commercial General Liability Coverage “occurrence” form CG 00 01 10 01 or another ISO Commercial General Liability “occurrence” form providing equivalent coverage. Such insurance shall include contractual liability coverage, specifically covering but not limited to the indemnification provisions of this Lease. The minimum limits of liability of such insurance shall be Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ( $5,000,000.00) per occurrence. In addition, in the event Tenant hosts a function in the Premises, Tenant agrees to obtain, and cause any persons or parties providing services for such function to obtain, the appropriate insurance coverages as determined by Landlord (including liquor liability coverage, if applicable) and provide Landlord with evidence of the same. The above limits may be satisfied by a general liability and an umbrella policy so long as (i) the limits applicable to the general liability policy are no less than One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), and (ii) all other requirements under this Article 10 are met.

10.4 Tenant’s Property Insurance . Tenant shall maintain at all times during the Lease Term, and during such earlier time as Tenant may be performing work in or to the Premises or have property, fixtures, furniture, equipment, machinery, goods, supplies, wares or merchandise on the Premises, and continuing thereafter so long as Tenant is in occupancy of any part of the Premises, business interruption insurance and (insurance against loss or damage covered by the so-called “special form” type insurance coverage with respect to (i) Tenant’s

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -47-   [TRULIA, INC.]


property, fixtures, furniture, equipment, machinery, goods, supplies, wares and merchandise, and (ii) the Tenant Improvements, and any other improvements which exist in the Premises as of the Lease Commencement Date (excluding the Base Building) (the “ Original Improvements ”), and all Alterations, improvements and other modifications made by or on behalf of the Tenant in the Premises, and (iii) other property of Tenant located at the Premises (collectively “ Tenant’s Property ”). The business interruption insurance required by this section shall be in minimum amounts typically carried by prudent tenants engaged in similar operations, but in no event shall be in an amount less than the Base Rent then in effect during any Lease Year, plus any Additional Rent due and payable for the immediately preceding Lease Year. The “special form” insurance required by this section shall be in an amount at least equal to the full replacement cost of Tenant’s Property. In addition, during such time as Tenant is performing work in or to the Premises, Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall also maintain, or shall cause its contractor(s) to maintain, builder’s risk insurance for the full insurable value of such work (and Landlord acknowledges that the initial Tenant Improvements are being constructed by Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and that Tenant will not be required to maintain such insurance in connection with such work). Landlord and such additional persons or entities as Landlord may reasonably request shall be named as loss payees with respect to the Original Improvements only, as their interests may appear, on the policy or policies required by this section. In the event of loss or damage covered by the “special form” insurance required by this section, the responsibilities for repairing or restoring the loss or damage shall be determined in accordance with Article 11 of this Lease, below. To the extent that Landlord is obligated to pay for the repair or restoration of the loss or damage covered by the policy, Landlord shall be paid the proceeds of the “special form” insurance covering the loss or damage. To the extent Tenant is obligated to pay for the repair or restoration of the loss or damage, covered by the policy, Tenant shall be paid the proceeds of the “special form” insurance covering the loss or damage. If both Landlord and Tenant are obligated to pay for the repair or restoration of the loss or damage covered by the policy, the insurance proceeds shall be paid to each of them in the pro rata proportion of their obligations to repair or restore the loss or damage. If the loss or damage is not repaired or restored (for example, if the Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 11.2 of this Lease, below), the insurance proceeds shall be paid to Landlord and Tenant in the pro rata proportion of their relative contributions to the cost of the leasehold improvements covered by the policy.

10.5 Tenant’s Other Insurance . Throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall obtain and maintain (1) comprehensive automobile liability insurance (covering any automobiles owned or operated by Tenant at the Project) issued on a form at least as broad as ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 07 97 or other form providing equivalent coverage; (2) worker’s compensation insurance or participation in a monopolistic state workers’ compensation fund; and (3) employer’s liability insurance or (in a monopolistic state) Stop Gap Liability insurance. Such automobile liability insurance shall be in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for each accident. Such worker’s compensation insurance shall carry minimum limits as defined by the law of the jurisdiction in which the Premises are located (as the same may be amended from time to time). Such employer’s liability insurance shall be in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for each accident, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) disease-policy limit, and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) disease-each employee.

10.6 Requirements For Insurance . All insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be maintained with responsible companies that are admitted or accepted to do business, and are in good standing, in the jurisdiction in which the Premises are located and that have a rating of at least “A” and are within a financial size category of not less than “Class VIII” in the most current Best’s Key Rating Guide or such similar rating as may be reasonably selected by Landlord. All such insurance shall: (1) be acceptable in form and content to Landlord; and (2) be primary and noncontributory. No such policy shall contain any self-insured retention greater than Twenty-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00). Any deductibles and such self-insured retentions shall be deemed to be “insurance” for purposes of the waiver in Section 10.13 of this Lease, below. Landlord reserves the right from time to time (but not more than once during any three (3) year period) to require Tenant to obtain higher minimum amounts of insurance based on such limits as are customarily carried with respect to Comparable Buildings. The minimum amounts of insurance required by this Lease shall not be reduced by the payment of claims or for any other reason. In the event Tenant shall fail to obtain or maintain any insurance meeting the requirements of this Article, or to deliver such certificates as required by this Article, Landlord may, at its option, on five (5) days’ notice to Tenant, procure such policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord within five (5) days after delivery to Tenant of bills therefor. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice promptly after Tenant becomes aware of any change to, or cancellation of, any insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.

10.7 Additional Insureds . The commercial general liability and auto insurance carried by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, and any additional liability insurance carried by Tenant pursuant to Section 10.3 of this Lease, above, shall name Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent, and such other Mortgagees as Landlord may reasonably request from time to time as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of or related to this Lease or the operations of Tenant (collectively “ Additional Insureds ”). Such insurance shall provide primary coverage without contribution from any other insurance carried by or for the benefit of Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent, or other Additional Insureds. Such insurance shall also waive any right of subrogation against each Additional Insured.

10.8 Certificates Of Insurance . On or before the earlier of (i) the date on which any Tenant Party first enters the Premises for any reason or (ii) the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with certificates evidencing the insurance coverage required by this Lease, and renewal certificates shall be furnished to Landlord at least annually thereafter, and prior to the expiration date of each policy for which a certificate was furnished. (Acceptable forms of such certificates for liability and property insurance, respectively, are attached hereto as Exhibit F .) In jurisdictions requiring mandatory participation in a monopolistic state workers’ compensation fund, the insurance certificate requirements for the coverage required for workers’ compensation will be satisfied by a letter from the appropriate state agency confirming participation in accordance with statutory requirements. Such current participation letters required by this Section shall be provided every six (6) months for the duration of this Lease. Failure by the Tenant to provide the certificates or letters required by this Section shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the requirements in this Section. Upon request by Landlord, a true and complete copy of any insurance policy required by this Lease shall be delivered to Landlord within ten (10) days following Landlord’s request.

  -49-   [TRULIA, INC.]


10.9 Subtenants And Other Occupants . Tenant shall require its subtenants and other occupants of the Premises to provide written documentation evidencing the obligation of such subtenant or other occupant to indemnify the Landlord Parties to the same extent that Tenant is required to indemnify the Landlord Parties pursuant to Section 10.1 of this Lease, above, and to maintain insurance that meets the requirements of this Article, and otherwise to comply with the requirements of this Article. Tenant shall require all such subtenants and occupants to supply certificates of insurance evidencing that the insurance requirements of this Article have been met and shall forward such certificates to Landlord on or before the earlier of (i) the date on which the subtenant or other occupant or any of their respective direct or indirect partners, officers, shareholders, directors, members, trustees, beneficiaries, servants, employees, principals, contractors, licensees, agents, invitees or representatives first enters the Premises or (ii) the commencement of the sublease. Tenant shall be responsible for identifying and remedying any deficiencies in such certificates or policy provisions.

10.10 No Violation Of Building Policies . Tenant shall not commit or permit any violation of the policies of fire, boiler, sprinkler, water damage or other insurance covering the Project and/or the fixtures, equipment and property therein carried by Landlord, or do or permit anything to be done, or keep or permit anything to be kept, in the Premises, which in case of any of the foregoing (i) would result in termination of any such policies, (ii) would adversely affect Landlord’s right of recovery under any of such policies, or (iii) would result in reputable and independent insurance companies refusing to insure the Project or the property of Landlord in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

10.11 Tenant To Pay Premium Increases . If, because of anything done, caused or permitted to be done, or omitted by Tenant (or its subtenant or other occupants of the Premises), the rates for liability, fire, boiler, sprinkler, water damage or other insurance on the Project or on the property and equipment of Landlord or any other tenant or subtenant in the Building shall be higher than they otherwise would be, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord and/or the other tenants and subtenants in the Building for the additional insurance premiums thereafter paid by Landlord or by any of the other tenants and subtenants in the Building which shall have been charged because of the aforesaid reasons, such reimbursement to be made from time to time on Landlord’s demand.

10.12 Landlord’s Insurance .

10.12.1 Required Insurance . Landlord shall maintain insurance against loss or damage with respect to the Building on an “special form” type insurance form, with customary exceptions, subject to such deductibles and self-insured retentions as Landlord may reasonably determine, in an amount equal to at least the replacement value of the Building. The cost of such insurance shall be treated as a part of Operating Expenses. Such insurance shall be maintained with an insurance company selected by Landlord. Payment for losses thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord.

10.12.2 Optional Insurance . Landlord may maintain such additional insurance with respect to the Building and the Project, including, without limitation, earthquake insurance, terrorism insurance, flood insurance, liability insurance and/or rent insurance, as Landlord may in its sole discretion elect. Landlord may also maintain such other insurance as may from time to

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -50-   [TRULIA, INC.]


time be required by a “Mortgagee,” as that term is defined in Section 18.2 of this Lease, below. The cost of all such additional insurance shall also be part of the Operating Expenses. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.12, the coverage and amounts of insurance carried by Landlord in connection with the Building shall, at a minimum, be comparable to the coverage and amounts of insurance carried by reasonably prudent landlords of buildings comparable to and in the vicinity of the Building (provided that in no event shall Landlord be required to carry earthquake insurance).

10.12.3 Blanket and Self-Insurance . Any or all of Landlord’s insurance may be provided by blanket coverage maintained by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord under its insurance program for its portfolio of properties, or by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord under a program of self-insurance, and in such event Operating Expenses shall include the portion of the reasonable cost of blanket insurance or self-insurance that is allocated to the Building.

10.12.4 No Obligation . Landlord shall not be obligated to insure, and shall not assume any liability of risk of loss for, Tenant’s Property, including any such property or work of tenant’s subtenants or occupants. Landlord will also have no obligation to carry insurance against, nor be responsible for, any loss suffered by Tenant, subtenants or other occupants due to interruption of Tenant’s or any subtenant’s or occupant’s business.

10.13 Waiver Of Subrogation . The parties hereto waive and release any and all rights of recovery against the other, and agree not to seek to recover from the other or to make any claim against the other, and in the case of Landlord, against all Tenant Parties, and in the case of Tenant, against all Landlord Parties, for any loss or damage incurred by the waiving/releasing party to the extent such loss or damage is insured under any insurance policy required by this Lease or which would have been so insured had the party carried the insurance it was required to carry hereunder. Tenant shall obtain from its subtenants and other occupants of the Premises a similar waiver and release of claims against any or all of Tenant or Landlord. In addition, the parties hereto (and in the case of Tenant, its subtenants and other occupants of the Premises) shall procure an appropriate clause in, or endorsement on, any insurance policy required by this Lease pursuant to which the insurance company waives subrogation (so long as no material additional premium is charged for such waiver). The insurance policies required by this Lease shall contain no provision that would invalidate or restrict the parties’ waiver and release of the rights of recovery in this section. The parties hereto covenant that no insurer shall hold any right of subrogation against the parties hereto by virtue of such insurance policy.

The term “ Landlord Party ” or “ Landlord Parties ” shall mean Landlord, any affiliate of Landlord, Landlord’s managing agents for the Building, each Mortgagee, each ground lessor, and each of their respective direct or indirect partners, officers, shareholders, directors, members, trustees, beneficiaries, servants, employees, principals, contractors, licensees, agents or representatives. For the purposes of this Lease, the term “ Tenant Party ” or “ Tenant Parties ” shall mean Tenant, any affiliate of Tenant, any permitted subtenant or any other permitted occupant of the Premises, and each of their respective direct or indirect partners, officers, shareholders, directors, members, trustees, beneficiaries, servants, employees, principals, contractors, licensees, agents, invitees or representatives.

10.14 Tenant’s Work . During such times as Tenant is performing work or having work or services performed in or to the Premises, Tenant shall require its contractors, and their subcontractors of all tiers, to obtain and maintain commercial general liability, automobile, workers compensation, employer’s liability, builder’s risk, and equipment/property insurance in such amounts and on such terms as are customarily required of such contractors and subcontractors on similar projects. The amounts and terms of all such insurance are subject to Landlord’s written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The commercial general liability and auto insurance carried by Tenant’s contractors and their subcontractors of all tiers pursuant to this section shall name Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent, and such other Persons as Landlord may reasonably request from time to time as Additional Insureds with respect to liability arising out of or related to their work or services. Such insurance shall provide primary coverage without contribution from any other insurance carried by or for the benefit of Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent, or other Additional Insureds. Such insurance shall also waive any right of subrogation against each Additional Insured. Tenant shall obtain and submit to Landlord, prior to the earlier of (i) the entry onto the Premises by such contractors or subcontractors or (ii) commencement of the work or services, certificates of insurance evidencing compliance with the requirements of this section.

ARTICLE 11

DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

11.1 Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord . Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty. If the Premises or any Common Areas necessary to Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, within sixty (60) days following Landlord’s discovery of the damage or destruction, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant (the “ Landlord Casualty Notice ”) setting forth (a) the estimated time required, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s contractor, for the completion of repairs and restoration, and (b) whether or not Landlord elects, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 11 , to restore the Base Building and such Common Areas, the Tenant Improvements, Original Improvements and Alterations made to the Premises by Tenant. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the Base Building and the Common Areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Building or Project or any other modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord, provided that access to the Premises and any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially modified or impaired. Upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, if this Lease is not terminated, upon notice to Tenant from Landlord, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance required under item (ii) of Section 10.4 of this Lease which pertain to work to be performed by Landlord, and Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the Tenant Improvements, Alterations and the Original Improvements installed in the Premises and shall return such Tenant Improvements, Alterations and Original Improvements to their original condition; provided that if the cost of such repair by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant’s insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, the excess cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord in accordance with a reasonable progress

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -52-   [TRULIA, INC.]


payment schedule, upon receipt of the appropriate conditional and/or unconditional lien releases, or, in the event Tenant is not the Original Tenant, then prior to Landlord’s commencement of repair of the damage. Prior to the commencement of construction, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall, in its reasonable discretion, select the contractors to perform such improvement work. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided, however, if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or a portion thereof or Common Areas necessary to Tenant’s access to or occupancy of the Premises, then Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Rent during the time and to the extent and in the proportion that the Premises or such portion thereof are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease, and are not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof.

11.2 Landlord’s Option to Repair . Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises, Building and/or Project, and instead terminate this Lease, by notifying Tenant of such election in an applicable Landlord Casualty Notice, in which event such Landlord Casualty Notice shall include a termination date giving Tenant one hundred twenty (120) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building or Project shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, provided that Landlord terminates the leases of all tenants of the Building whose premises are similarly damaged by the casualty (to the extent Landlord retains such right pursuant to the terms of the applicable tenants’ leases), and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) in the reasonable judgment of Landlord’s contractor, repairs cannot reasonably be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of discovery of the damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Building or Project or ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground lease, as the case may be; (iii) the damage is not fully covered by Landlord’s insurance policies or that portion of the proceeds from Landlord’s insurance policies allocable to the Building or the Project, as the case may be; or (iv) the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term and will reasonably require in excess of ninety (90) days to repair; provided, however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or a portion thereof or Common Areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy and as a result of such damage the Premises are unfit for occupancy, and provided that Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord’s termination right as provided above, and either (a) the repairs cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s contractor, be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of discovery of the damage, or (b) the damage occurs during the last twelve months of the Lease Term and will reasonably require in excess of ninety (90) days to repair, then Tenant may elect, within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the applicable Landlord Casualty Notice, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in the notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given by Tenant. Furthermore, if neither Landlord nor Tenant has terminated this Lease pursuant to this Section 11.2 , and the repairs are not actually completed for any reason (including Force Majeure), other than the fault of Tenant, within three hundred thirty (330) days after the date of discovery of the damage, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease during the first

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -53-   [TRULIA, INC.]


five (5) business days of each calendar month following the expiration of such three hundred thirty (330) day period until such time as the repairs are complete, by notice to Landlord (the “ Damage Termination Notice ”), effective as of a date set forth in the Damage Termination Notice (the “ Damage Termination Date ”), which Damage Termination Date shall not be less than ten (10) business days following the date such Damage Termination Notice was delivered to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant delivers a Damage Termination Notice to Landlord, then Landlord shall have the right to suspend the occurrence of the Damage Termination Date for a period ending thirty (30) days after the Damage Termination Date set forth in the Damage Termination Notice by delivering to Tenant, within five (5) business days of Landlord’s receipt of the Damage Termination Notice, written notice that it is Landlord’s good faith judgment that the repairs shall be substantially completed within thirty (30) days after the Damage Termination Date. If repairs shall be substantially completed prior to the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period, then the Damage Termination Notice shall be of no force or effect and this Lease shall continue, but if the repairs shall not be substantially completed within such thirty (30)-day period, then this Lease shall automatically terminate upon the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period. Notwithstanding anything set forth to the contrary in this Section 11.2 , Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease under this Section 11.2 only if each of the following conditions are satisfied: (a) the damage to the Project. by fire or other casualty, was not caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or a Tenant Party; (b) Tenant is not then in economic or material non-economic default under this Lease; (c) as a result of the damage, Tenant, in its commercially reasonable business judgment, cannot conduct its business from the Premises; and, (d) as a result of the damage to the Project, Tenant does not in fact occupy or use the Premises. In the event this Lease is terminated in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.2 , Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance required under Section 10.4 of this Lease.

11.3 Waiver of Statutory Provisions . The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11 , constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project, and any statute or regulation of the State of California, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project.

ARTICLE 12

NONWAIVER

No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by either party hereto unless expressly waived in a writing signed thereby. The waiver by either party hereto of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -54-   [TRULIA, INC.]


failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent. No acceptance of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to receive the full amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the full amount due. No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the Lease Term or of Tenant’s right of possession hereunder, or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or affect any notice given Tenant prior to the receipt of such monies, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit, or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment. No payment by Tenant shall be deemed a waiver of Tenant’s right to contest the underlying obligation or payment made, whether or not payment is expressly made under protest.

ARTICLE 13

CONDEMNATION

If the whole or any part of the Premises, Building or Project shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any part of the Premises, Building or Project, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority; provided, however, that Landlord shall only have the right to terminate this Lease as provided above if Landlord terminates the leases of all other tenants in the Building similarly affected by the taking and provided further that to the extent that the Premises are not adversely affected by such taking and Landlord continues to operate the Building as an office building, Landlord may not terminate this Lease. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken, or if all reasonable access to and/or the use of the Premises is substantially impaired, in each case for a period in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. Tenant shall not because of such taking assert any claim against Landlord or the authority for any compensation because of such taking and Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant’s personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and for moving expenses, so long as such claims do not diminish the award available to Landlord, its ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project or its mortgagee, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant. All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. If any part of the Premises shall be taken (or if reasonable access to and/or use of the Premises is substantially impaired because of a taking), and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Rent shall be proportionately abated. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of the

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -55-   [TRULIA, INC.]


California Code of Civil Procedure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 13 , in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and the Additional Rent shall be abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises and otherwise in accordance with Section 19.5.2 . Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking.

ARTICLE 14

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

14.1 Transfers . Except as otherwise specifically provided or permitted in this Article 14 , Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment, or other transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or enter into any license or concession agreements or otherwise permit the occupancy or use of the Premises or any part thereof by any persons other than Tenant and its employees and contractors (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to individually as a “ Transfer, ” and, collectively, as “ Transfers ” and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “ Transferee ”). If Tenant desires Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the “ Transfer Notice ”) shall include (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the “ Subject Space ”), (iii) all of the material terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, including calculation of the “Transfer Premium”, as that term is defined in Section 14.3 below, in connection with such Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing executed and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, business credit and personal references and history of the proposed Transferee and any other information reasonably required by Landlord which will enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee’s business and proposed use of the Subject Space (provided that Landlord must request such additional information within five (5) business days following the date Tenant delivers the Transfer Notice to Landlord), and (v) upon Landlord’s request, an executed estoppel certificate from Tenant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (modified as appropriate to make the statements therein true and correct). Any Transfer made without Landlord’s prior written consent shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease after notice and expiration of the cure period set forth in Section 19.1.4 of this Lease, below. Whether or not Landlord consents to any proposed Transfer, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s review and processing fees, as well as any reasonable professional fees (including, without limitation, attorneys’, accountants’, architects’, engineers’ and consultants’ fees) incurred by Landlord, not to exceed Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500.00) in the aggregate for a Transfer in the ordinary course of business, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord.

14.2 Landlord’s Consent . Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice, and shall grant or withhold such consent within fifteen (15) days following the date upon which Landlord receives a “complete” Transfer Notice from Tenant ( i.e. , a Transfer Notice that includes all documents and information required pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, above). Without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, the parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any Applicable Law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply:

14.2.1 The Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building or the Project;

14.2.2 The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;

14.2.3 The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to assign, sublet, or otherwise transfer to a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof to the extent Landlord has leased or has permitted the lease of space to a comparable (in terms of security, foot traffic, prestige, eminent domain and function oriented issues) governmental agency or instrumentality thereof in comparably located space of comparable size;

14.2.4 The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities to be undertaken in connection with the Transfer on the date consent is requested, taking into consideration Tenant’s continuing liability under this Lease;

14.2.5 The proposed Transfer would cause a violation of an exclusive use or similar provision of another lease for space in the Project, or would give an occupant of the Project a right to cancel its lease;

14.2.6 Either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed Transferee, (i) occupies space in the Project at the time of the request for consent (provided, however, that Tenant may assign or sublease space to an occupant of the Project to the extent Landlord cannot meet such occupant’s space needs), or (ii) is negotiating or has negotiated ( i.e. , has exchanged written proposals) with Landlord to lease space in the Project at any time during the six (6) month period preceding the request for consent, or (iii) Landlord is currently meeting with (or has previously met with) the proposed Transferee to tour space in the Project. For purposes of this Section 14.2.6 , “negotiating” and “negotiated” shall be deemed to mean an exchange of written proposals between Landlord and such proposed Transferee;

14.2.7 In Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the use of the Premises by the proposed Transferee would not be comparable to the types of office use by other tenants in the

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -57-   [TRULIA, INC.]


Project, would entail any alterations which would lessen the value of the tenant improvements in the Premises, would result in more than a reasonable density of occupants per square foot of the Premises, would materially increase the burden on elevators or other Building systems or equipment over the burden thereon prior to the proposed Transfer, or would require materially increased services by Landlord, unless Tenant agrees to pay for the increased cost of providing such services;

14.2.8 Prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the second anniversary of the Phase I Lease Commencement Date, or (ii) the date on which the Building is at least ninety percent (90%) leased, the rent charged by Tenant to such Transferee during the term of such Transfer (the “ Transferee’s Rent ”), calculated using a present value analysis, is less than one hundred percent (100%) of the rent being quoted by Landlord at the time of such Transfer for comparable space in the Project for a comparable term (the “ Quoted Rent ”), calculated using a present value analysis;

14.2.9 The proposed Transfer is of less than one (1) full floor of the Premises or, if the Premises at any time includes less than a full floor in the Building ( e.g. , the first phase of the Second Expansion Space), the proposed Transfer is of less than all of the space leased by Tenant on such floor; or

14.2.10 Any part of the rent payable under the proposed Transfer shall be based in whole or in part on the income or profits derived from the Subject Space or if Landlord reasonably concludes, upon the advice of outside tax counsel, that the proposed Transfer is likely to have a material adverse effect on the real estate investment trust qualification tests applicable to Landlord or any of its affiliates under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and rulings issued thereunder.

If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may have under Section 14.4 of this Lease), Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord’s consent, but not later than the expiration of said six-month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, provided that if there are any material changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2 , Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14 (including Landlord’s right of recapture, if any, under Section 14.4 of this Lease). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent under Section 14.2 or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably under this Article 14 , their sole remedies shall be a suit for contract damages (other than damages for injury to, or interference with, Tenant’s business including, without limitation, loss of profits, other than profits from the subject Transfer, however occurring) or a declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief sought, and Tenant hereby waives any right to terminate this Lease pursuant to the provisions of Section 1995.310 of the California Civil Code, or any successor statute, and all other remedies, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all Applicable Laws, on behalf of the proposed Transferee. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from any and

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -58-   [TRULIA, INC.]


all liability, losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, causes of action and proceedings involving any third party or parties (including without limitation Tenant’s proposed subtenant or assignee) who claim they were damaged by Landlord’s wrongful withholding or conditioning of Landlord’s consent.

14.3 Transfer Premium . If Landlord’s consent is required for, and Landlord consents to, a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any “Transfer Premium,” as that term is defined in this Section 14.3 , received by Tenant from such Transferee. “ Transfer Premium ” shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in connection with the Transfer in excess of the Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the Transfer on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 14.3 , Tenant shall be entitled to retain one hundred percent (100%) of any Transfer Premium until such time as Tenant has recovered the reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant for (i) any changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises, or improvement allowances given in connection with the Transfer, (ii) any free base rent provided to the Transferee in connection with the Transfer (provided that such free rent shall be deducted only to the extent the same is included in the calculation of total consideration payable by such Transferee), and (iii) any brokerage commissions in connection with the Transfer and (iv) legal fees reasonably incurred in connection with the Transfer (collectively, “ Tenant’s Subleasing Costs ”). “Transfer Premium” shall also include, but not be limited to, key money, bonus money or other cash consideration paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee in connection with such Transfer. Landlord shall make a determination of the amount of Landlord’s applicable share of the Transfer Premium on a monthly basis as rent or other consideration is paid by Transferee to Tenant under the Transfer.

14.4 Landlord’s Option as to Subject Space . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14 , in the event that Tenant contemplates a Transfer (“ Contemplated Transfer ”), Tenant shall give Landlord notice (the “ Intention to Transfer Notice ”) of such contemplated Transfer (whether or not the contemplated Transferee or the terms of such contemplated Transfer have been determined); provided, however, that Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall have no obligation to deliver an Intention to Transfer Notice hereunder, and Landlord shall have no right to recapture space with respect to (A) a sublease of less than two (2) full floors of the Premises, (B) a sublease for less than substantially all of the remainder of the Lease Term (for purposes hereof, a sublease shall be deemed to be for substantially all of the remainder of the Lease Term if, assuming all sublease renewal or extension rights are exercised, such sublease shall expire during the final six (6) months of the Lease Term), or (C) an assignment or sublease to a Permitted Transferee. The Intention to Transfer Notice shall specify the portion of and amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which Tenant intends to Transfer (the “ Contemplated Transfer Space ”), the contemplated date of commencement of the Contemplated Transfer (the “ Contemplated Effective Date ”), and the contemplated length of the term of such contemplated Transfer, and shall specify that such Intention to Transfer Notice is delivered to Landlord pursuant to this Section 14.4 in order to allow Landlord to elect to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space for the remainder of the

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -59-   [TRULIA, INC.]


Lease Term. Thereafter, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant (the “ Recapture Notice ”) within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Intention to Transfer Notice, to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space. Any recapture under this Section 14.4 shall cancel and terminate (or suspend if not for the remainder of the Lease Term) this Lease with respect to the Contemplated Transfer Space as of the Contemplated Effective Date. In the event of a recapture by Landlord, (i) Landlord shall install, on a commercially reasonable basis, any corridor and/or demising wall which is required as a result of a recapture by Landlord pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises; and (iii) this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner, to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space under this Section 14.4 , then, subject to the other terms of this Article 14 , for a period of nine (9) months (the “ Nine Month Period ”) commencing on the last day of such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not have any right to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space with respect to any Transfer made during the Nine Month Period, provided however, that any such Transfer shall be subject to the remaining terms of this Article 14 . If such a Transfer is not so consummated within the Nine Month Period (or if a Transfer is so consummated, then upon the expiration of the term of any Transfer of such Contemplated Transfer Space consummated within such Nine Month Period), Tenant shall again be required to submit a new Intention to Transfer Notice to Landlord with respect any contemplated Transfer, as provided above in this Section 14.4 . If Landlord elects to recapture any Contemplated Transfer Space under this Section 14.4 , Tenant shall have the right, by written notice to Landlord given within five (5) business days after delivery of the Recapture Notice, to rescind Tenant’s Intention to Transfer Notice and not proceed with the Contemplated Transfer, in which case such Recapture Notice shall be ineffective, and Tenant shall continue to directly lease the Contemplated Transfer Space pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

14.5 Effect of Transfer . If Landlord consents to a Transfer, then (i) the terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified; (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee; (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of the assignment or sublease document pertaining to the Transfer; (iv) Tenant shall furnish upon Landlord’s request a complete statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant, or Tenant’s chief financial officer, setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant has derived and shall derive from such Transfer; and (v) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from any liability under this Lease, including, without limitation, in connection with the Subject Space, and, in the event of a Transfer of Tenant’s entire interest in this Lease, the liability of Tenant and such Transferee shall be joint and several. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to the calculation of the Transfer Premium with respect to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency, and if understated by more than five percent (5%), Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable costs of such audit.

14.6 Occurrence of Default . Any Transfer hereunder shall be subordinate and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall be terminated during the term of any Transfer, then Landlord shall have all of the rights set forth in Section 19.3 of this Lease with respect to such Transfer. In addition, if Tenant shall be in default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods expressly set forth in this Lease, then Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized to direct any Transferee to make all payments under or in connection with a Transfer directly to Landlord (which payments Landlord shall apply towards Tenant’s obligations under this Lease) until such default is cured. Such Transferee shall rely on any representation by Landlord that Tenant is in default hereunder, without any need for confirmation thereof by Tenant. Upon any assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing all obligations and covenants of Tenant thereafter to be performed or observed under this Lease. No collection or acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee shall be deemed a waiver of any provision of this Article 14 or the approval of any Transferee or a release of Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, whether theretofore or thereafter accruing. In no event shall Landlord’s enforcement of any provision of this Lease against any Transferee be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to enforce any term of this Lease against Tenant or any other person. If Tenant’s obligations hereunder have been guaranteed, Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall not be effective unless the guarantor also consents to such Transfer.

14.7 Additional Transfers . For purposes of this Lease, the term “Transfer” shall also include (i) if Tenant is a partnership or a limited liability company, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the partners, officers or members, as applicable, or transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of partnership, ownership or membership interests (as applicable), within a twelve (12)-month period, or the dissolution of the partnership or limited liability company without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (ii) if Tenant is a closely held corporation ( i.e. , whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter), (A) the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant or (B) the sale or other transfer of an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting shares of Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason of gift or death), within a twelve (12)-month period, or (C) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant within a twelve (12)-month period.

14.8 Deemed Consent Transfers . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, (a) an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to an affiliate of Tenant (an entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with, Tenant, (b) an assignment of the Lease by Tenant to an entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets or interest (partnership, stock or other) of Tenant, or (c) an assignment of the Lease to an entity which is the resulting entity of a merger or consolidation of Tenant (each, a “ Permitted Transferee ”), shall not be deemed a Transfer requiring Landlord’s consent under this Article 14 , provided that (i) Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment or sublease and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such Permitted Transferee as set forth above, and (ii) such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease or to otherwise effectuate any release of Tenant of such obligations. An assignee of Tenant’s entire interest in this Lease and the Premises who qualifies as a Permitted Transferee may also be referred to herein as a “ Non-Transferee Assignee ”). “ Control ,” as used in this Section 14.8 , shall mean the

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -61-   [TRULIA, INC.]


ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interest in, any person or entity, or the power to direct the policies or operations of any person or entity (by contract or otherwise). The sale of corporate shares of capital stock in Tenant in connection with an initial public offering of Tenant’s stock on a nationally-recognized stock exchange, and the subsequent sale of Tenant’s capital stock as long as Tenant is a publicly traded company on a nationally-recognized stock exchange shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Article 14 and shall not be subject to this Article 14 .

ARTICLE 15

SURRENDER OF PREMISES; OWNERSHIP AND REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES

15.1 Surrender of Premises . No act or thing done by either party or any agent or employee thereof during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by either party of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in a writing signed by both parties. The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease, whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such delivery Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been properly terminated. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises or terminate any or all such sublessees or subtenancies.

15.2 Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant . Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 15 , quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in the condition Tenant is required to maintain the Premises pursuant to Article 7 . Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, such items of furniture, equipment, business and trade fixtures, free-standing cabinet work, movable partitions and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal.

ARTICLE 16

HOLDING OVER

If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination thereof, with the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to (i) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease, and one

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -62-   [TRULIA, INC.]


hundred percent (100%) of all Additional Rent due, for the first (1 st ) three (3) months of such holdover, and (ii) two hundred percent (200%) of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease, and one hundred percent (100%) of all Additional Rent due, thereafter. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other applicable term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Nothing contained in this Article 16 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom; provided, however, upon entering into a third-party lease which affects the Premises, Landlord shall deliver written notice (the “ New Lease Notice ”) of such lease to Tenant and the terms of the foregoing indemnity shall not be effective until the later of (i) the date that occurs thirty (30) days following the date Landlord delivers such New Lease Notice to Tenant, and (ii) the date such holdover commences.

ARTICLE 17

ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

Within ten (10) business days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, which, as submitted by Landlord, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E , attached hereto (or such other commercially reasonable form as may be required by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Project, or any portion thereof), making any modifications or indicating any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time to make such statements therein true and correct, and shall also contain any other factual information reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagee or prospective mortgagee. Any such certificate may be relied upon by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of all or any portion of the Project. Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes. Unless the same are otherwise reasonably publicly available, at any time during the Lease Term, Landlord may require Tenant to provide Landlord with a current financial statement and financial statements of the two (2) years prior to the current financial statement year. Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, if such is the normal practice of Tenant, shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant. If Tenant fails to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such estoppel certificate or other instruments within such ten (10) business day period, then Landlord may deliver a written notice (the “ Estoppel Reminder Notice ”) to Tenant stating that Tenant has failed to deliver such estoppel certificate and/or other instruments within the required time period. If Tenant fails to deliver such estoppel certificate and/or other instruments within five (5) days following the date upon which Landlord delivered an Estoppel Reminder Notice, then such failure shall constitute an acceptance and acknowledgment by Tenant that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception.

ARTICLE 18

MORTGAGE OR GROUND LEASE

18.1 Subordination . Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that, as of the date hereof, there are no existing mortgages, deeds of trust, or superior leases encumbering or recorded against the Building or Project. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Building or Project and to the lien of any mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrances now or hereafter in force against the Building or Project or any part thereof, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds (collectively, the “ Encumbrances ”), unless the holders of such Encumbrances, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases (collectively, the “ Superior Holders ”), require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto; provided, however, that in consideration of and a condition precedent to Tenant’s agreement to subordinate this Lease to any future Encumbrances, shall be the receipt by Tenant of a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement which requires such Superior Holder to accept this Lease, and not to disturb Tenant’s possession, so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease after any applicable notice and cure period expressly set forth in this Lease (a “ SNDAA ”) executed by Landlord and the appropriate Superior Holder. Subject to Tenant’s receipt of an SNDAA, Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed in lieu thereof (or if any ground lease is terminated), to attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the lienholder or purchaser or any successors thereto upon any such foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof (or to the ground lessor), if so requested to do so by such purchaser or lienholder or ground lessor, and to recognize such purchaser or lienholder or ground lessor as the lessor under this Lease, provided such lienholder or purchaser or ground lessor shall agree to accept this Lease and be bound as Landlord hereunder, and shall further agree not to disturb Tenant’s occupancy, so long as Tenant shall not be in default under this Lease after any applicable notice and cure period expressly set forth in this Lease. Landlord’s interest herein may be assigned as security at any time to any lienholder. Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days of request by Landlord, execute such further commercially reasonable instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or underlying leases.

18.2 Notice to Lienholder or Ground Lessor . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 28 , below, or elsewhere in this Lease, upon receipt by Tenant of notice from any holder of a mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrance in force against the Building or the Project or any part thereof which includes the Premises or any lessor under a ground lease or underlying lease of the Building or the Project (collectively, a “ Mortgagee ”), or from Landlord, which notice sets forth the address of such lienholder or ground lessor, and which notice specifically advises Tenant that all notices of default under this Lease, to be effective, must be copied to such lienholder or lessor, no notice of default from Tenant to Landlord shall be effective unless and until a copy of the same is given to such lienholder or

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -64-   [TRULIA, INC.]


ground lessor at the appropriate address therefor (as specified in the above-described notice or at such other places as may be designated from time to time in a notice to Tenant in accordance with Article 28 , below). For the purposes of this Article 18 , the term “mortgage” shall include a mortgage on a leasehold interest of Landlord (but not a mortgage on Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder).

18.3 Assignment of Rents . With reference to any assignment by Landlord of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, or the Rent payable to Landlord hereunder, conditional in nature or otherwise, which assignment is made to any holder of a mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrance in force against the Building or the Project or any part thereof which includes the Premises or to any lessor under a ground lease or underlying lease of the Building or the Project, Tenant agrees as follows:

18.3.1 The execution of any such assignment by Landlord, and the acceptance thereof by such lienholder or ground lessor, shall never be treated as an assumption by such lienholder or ground lessor of any of the obligations of Landlord under this Lease, unless such lienholder or ground lessor shall, by notice to Tenant, specifically otherwise elect.

18.3.2 Notwithstanding delivery to Tenant of the notice required by Section 18.3.1 , above, such lienholder or ground lessor, respectively, shall be treated as having assumed Landlord’s obligations under this Lease only upon such lienholder’s foreclosure of any such mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrance, or acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof, and taking of possession of the Building or the Project or applicable portion thereof, or such ground lessor’s termination of any such ground lease or underlying leases and assumption of Landlord’s position hereunder, as the case may be. In no event shall such lienholder, ground lessor or any other successor to Landlord’s interest in this Lease, as the case may be, be liable for any security deposit paid by Tenant to Landlord, unless and until such lienholder, ground lessor or other such successor, respectively, actually has been credited with or has received for its own account as landlord the amount of such security deposit or any portion thereof (in which event the liability of such lienholder, ground lessor or other such successor, as the case may be, shall be limited to the amount actually credited or received).

18.3.3 In no event shall the acquisition of title to the Building and the land upon which the Building is located or the Project or any part thereof which includes the Premises by a purchaser which, simultaneously therewith, leases back to the seller thereof the entire Building or the land upon which the Building is located or the Project or the entirety of that part thereof acquired by such purchaser, as the case may be, be treated as an assumption, by operation of law or otherwise, of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, but Tenant shall look solely to such seller-lessee, or to the successors to or assigns of such seller-lessee’s estate, for performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease. In any such event, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the lease to such seller-lessee; provided, however, that in consideration of and a condition precedent to Tenant’s agreement to subordinate this Lease to any future Encumbrances, shall be the receipt by Tenant of a SNDAA. Subject to Tenant’s receipt of a SNDAA in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant covenants and agrees in the event the lease to such seller-lessee is terminated to attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to such purchaser-lessor, if so requested to do so by such purchaser-lessor, and to recognize such purchaser-lessor as the lessor under this Lease, provided such purchaser-lessor

 

    [535 Mission Street]

ARTICLE 19

DEFAULTS; REMEDIES

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

19.1.1 Any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any other charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof, when due within five (5) business days after Tenant’s receipt of written notice from Landlord that the same was not paid when due; or

19.1.2 Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Section 19.1 , any failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure such default; or

19.1.3 Abandonment of the Premises by Tenant pursuant to Applicable Laws; or

19.1.4 The (i) failure by Tenant to observe or perform according to the provisions of Articles 10, 14, 17 or 18 of this Lease, or any provision of the Tenant Work Letter, (ii) use by Tenant of the Premises in violation of the terms of Article 5 of this Lease, where such use unreasonably interferes with another tenant or occupant of the Building, causes an increased risk of personal injury to any person or damage to any property not owned by Tenant, or which would jeopardize Landlord’s interest in the Building or the Project, or (iii) the failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease which failure, because of the character of such provision, covenant or condition, would immediately jeopardize Landlord’s interest, where any of such failures under clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), of this Section 19.1.4 , continues for more than five (5) business days after notice from Landlord.

The notice periods provided in this Section 19.1 are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice periods provided by law; provided, however, nothing set forth in this Lease shall be deemed to be a waiver by Tenant of any notice period required pursuant to the terms of Section 1161 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

19.2 Remedies Upon Default . Upon the occurrence of any event of default by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity (all of which remedies shall be distinct, separate and cumulative), the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive.

  -66-   [TRULIA, INC.]


19.2.1 Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:

19.2.1.1 The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus

19.2.1.2 The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

19.2.1.3 The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

19.2.1.4 Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, specifically including but not limited to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; plus

19.2.1.5 At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by Applicable Laws.

The term “rent” as used in this Section 19.2 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others. As used in Sections 19.2.1(i) and 19.2.1(ii), above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate set forth in Article 25 of this Lease, but in no case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law. As used in Section 19.2.1(iii) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

19.2.2 Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -67-   [TRULIA, INC.]


19.2.3 Landlord shall at all times have the rights and remedies (which shall be cumulative with each other and cumulative and in addition to those rights and remedies available under Sections 19.2.1 and 19.2.2 , above, or any law or other provision of this Lease), without prior demand or notice except as required by Applicable Laws, to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of any provision hereof.

19.3 Subleases of Tenant . If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, as set forth in this Article 19 , then Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s option in its sole discretion, (i) to terminate any and all assignments, subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises, in which event Landlord shall have the right to repossess such affected portions of the Premises by any lawful means, or (ii) to succeed to Tenant’s interest in any or all such assignments, subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, in which event Landlord may require any assignees, sublessees, licensees or other parties thereunder to attorn to and recognize Landlord as its assignor, sublessor, licensor, concessionaire or transferor thereunder. In the event of Landlord’s election to succeed to Tenant’s interest in any such assignments, subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.

19.4 Efforts to Relet . No re-entry or repossession, repairs, maintenance, changes, alterations and additions, reletting, appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord’s interests hereunder, or any other action or omission by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, or to accept a surrender of the Premises, nor shall same operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, unless express written notice of such intention is sent by Landlord to Tenant. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives any right otherwise available under any law to redeem or reinstate this Lease.

19.5 Landlord Default .

19.5.1 General . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall not be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord’s failure to perform; provided, however, if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease if it shall commence such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursue the same to completion. Upon any such default by Landlord under this Lease, Tenant may, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease to the contrary, exercise any of its rights provided at law or in equity.

19.5.2 Abatement of Rent . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, in the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, as a result of (i) any repair, maintenance or alteration performed by Landlord, or which Landlord failed to perform, after the Lease Commencement Date and

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -68-   [TRULIA, INC.]


required by this Lease, which substantially interferes with Tenant’s use of the Premises, or (ii) any failure to provide services, utilities or access to the Premises as required by this Lease (either such set of circumstances as set forth in items (i) or (ii), above, to be known as an “ Abatement Event ”), then Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such Abatement Event, and if such Abatement Event continues for five (5) consecutive business days after Landlord’s receipt of any such notice (the “ Eligibility Period ”), the Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses, and Tenant’s obligation to pay for parking (to the extent not utilized by Tenant) shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, after expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use for the normal conduct of Tenant’s business, the Premises or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable area of the Premises; provided, however, in the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, a portion of the Premises for a period of time in excess of the Eligibility Period and the remaining portion of the Premises is not sufficient to allow Tenant to effectively conduct its business therein, and if Tenant does not conduct its business from such remaining portion, then for such time after expiration of the Eligibility Period during which Tenant is so prevented from effectively conducting its business therein, the Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for the entire Premises and Tenant’s obligation to pay for parking shall be abated for such time as Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises. If, however, Tenant reoccupies any portion of the Premises during such period, the Rent allocable to such reoccupied portion, based on the proportion that the rentable area of such reoccupied portion of the Premises bears to the total rentable area of the Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from the date Tenant reoccupies such portion of the Premises. To the extent an Abatement Event is caused by an event covered by Articles 11 or 13 of this Lease, then Tenant’s right to abate rent shall be governed by the terms of such Article 11 or 13, as applicable, and the Eligibility Period shall not be applicable thereto. Such right to abate Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses, and Tenant’s obligation to pay for parking shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy for rent abatement at law or in equity for an Abatement Event. Except as provided in this Section 19.5.2 , nothing contained herein shall be interpreted to mean that Tenant is excused from paying Rent due hereunder.

19.5.3 Abatement Event Termination Right . If, as a result of an Abatement Event, Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises, for a continuous period of one (1) year after Landlord’s receipt of an applicable Abatement Event notice, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord (the “ Abatement Event Termination Notice ”), effective as of a date set forth in the Abatement Event Termination Notice (the “ Abatement Event Termination Date ”), which Abatement Event Termination Date shall not be less than ten (10) business days following the date such Abatement Event Termination Notice was delivered to Landlord. Notwithstanding anything set forth to the contrary in this Section 19.5.3 , Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease under this Section 19.5.3 only if Tenant is not then in economic or material non-economic default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods expressly set forth in this Lease.

ARTICLE 20

COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT

Landlord covenants that Tenant, on paying the Rent, charges for services and other payments herein reserved and on keeping, observing and performing all the other terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed prior to the expiration of applicable cure periods following notice of any default, shall, during the Lease Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises subject to the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements hereof without interference by any persons lawfully claiming by or through Landlord. The foregoing covenant is in lieu of any other covenant express or implied.

ARTICLE 21

LETTER OF CREDIT

21.1 Delivery of Letter of Credit . No later than seven (7) days after Lease execution, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, as protection for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease, an unconditional, clean, irrevocable negotiable standby letter of credit (the “ L-C ”) in the amount set forth in Section 8 of the Summary (the “ L-C Amount ”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G , payable in the City of San Francisco, California, running in favor of Landlord, drawn on a bank (the “ Bank ”) reasonably approved by Landlord and at a minimum having a long term issuer credit rating from Standard and Poor’s Professional Rating Service of A or a comparable rating from Moody’s Professional Rating Service (the “ Credit Rating Threshold ”), and otherwise conforming in all respects to the requirements of this Article 21 , including, without limitation, all of the requirements of Section 21.2 below, all as set forth more particularly hereinbelow. If Tenant fails to deliver the L-C within seven (7) days after Lease execution, and such failure to deliver causes a delay in the Substantial Completion of the Landlord Work, then such failure to deliver shall constitute a “Tenant Delay”, as that term is defined in the Tenant Work Letter. Tenant shall pay all expenses, points and/or fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining and maintaining the L-C. In the event of an assignment by Tenant of its interest in the Lease (and irrespective of whether Landlord’s consent is required for such assignment), the acceptance of any replacement or substitute letter of credit by Landlord from the assignee shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, and the reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Landlord in connection with such determination shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days of billing.

21.2 In General . The L-C shall be “callable” at sight, permit partial draws and multiple presentations and drawings, and be otherwise subject to the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits (1993-Rev), International Chamber of Commerce Publication #500, or the International Standby Practices-ISP 98, International Chamber of Commerce Publication #590. Tenant further covenants and warrants as follows:

21.2.1 Landlord Right to Transfer . The L-C shall provide that Landlord, its successors and assigns, may, at any time and without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenant’s consent thereto, transfer (one or more times) all or any portion of its interest in and to the L-C to another party, person or entity, regardless of whether or not such transfer is separate from or as a part of the assignment by Landlord of its rights and interests in and to this Lease. In the event of a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the L-C, in whole or in part, to the transferee and thereupon Landlord shall, without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the whole or any portion of said L-C to a new landlord. In connection with any such transfer of the L-C by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, execute and submit to the Bank such applications, documents and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such transfer, and Tenant shall be responsible for paying the Bank’s transfer and processing fees in connection therewith.

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -70-   [TRULIA, INC.]


21.2.2 No Assignment by Tenant . Tenant shall neither assign nor encumber the L-C or any part thereof. Neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance by Tenant in violation of this Section.

21.2.3 Replenishment . If, as a result of any drawing by Landlord on the L-C pursuant to its rights set forth in Section 21.3 below, the amount of the L-C shall be less than the L-C Amount, Tenant shall, within five (5) business days thereafter, provide Landlord with (i) an amendment to the L-C restoring such L-C to the L-C Amount or (ii) additional L-Cs in an amount equal to the deficiency, which additional L-Cs shall comply with all of the provisions of this Article 21 , and if Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 19.1 above, the same shall constitute an incurable default by Tenant under this Lease (without the need for any additional notice and/or cure period).

21.2.4 Renewal; Replacement . If the L-C expires earlier than the date (the “ LC Expiration Date ”) that is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant shall deliver a new L-C or certificate of renewal or extension to Landlord at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the L-C then held by Landlord, without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord, which new L-C shall be irrevocable and automatically renewable through the LC Expiration Date upon the same terms as the expiring L-C or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion. In furtherance of the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree that the L-C shall contain a so-called “evergreen provision,” whereby the L-C will automatically be renewed unless at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of non-renewal is provided by the issuer to Landlord; provided, however, that the final expiration date identified in the L-C, beyond which the L-C shall not automatically renew, shall not be earlier than the LC Expiration Date.

21.2.5 Bank’s Financial Condition . If, at any time during the Lease Term, the Bank’s long term credit rating is reduced below the Credit Rating Threshold, or if the financial condition of the Bank changes in any other materially adverse way (either, a “ Bank Credit Threat ”), then Landlord shall have the right to require that Tenant obtain from a different issuer a substitute L-C that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Article 21, and Tenant’s failure to obtain such substitute L-C within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -71-   [TRULIA, INC.]


written demand therefor (with no other notice or cure or grace period being applicable thereto, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary) shall entitle Landlord, or Landlord’s then managing agent, to immediately draw upon the then existing L-C in whole or in part, without notice to Tenant, as more specifically described in Section 21.3 below. Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of any and all costs incurred with the review of any replacement L-C (including without limitation Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees), which replacement is required pursuant to this Section or is otherwise requested by Tenant.

21.3 Application of Letter of Credit . Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance upon the ability of Landlord to draw upon the L-C as protection for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease. Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the L-C if any of the following shall have occurred or be applicable: (A) such amount is past due to Landlord under the terms and conditions of this Lease, or (B) Tenant has filed a voluntary petition under the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or any state bankruptcy code (collectively, “ Bankruptcy Code ”), or (C) an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, or (D) the Bank has notified Landlord that the L-C will not be renewed or extended through the LC Expiration Date, or (E) a Bank Credit Threat or Receivership (as such term is defined in Section 21.6.1 below) has occurred and Tenant has failed to comply with the requirements of either Section 21.2.5 above or 21.6 below, as applicable. If Tenant shall breach any provision of this Lease or otherwise be in default hereunder or if any of the foregoing events identified in Sections 21.3(B) through (E)  shall have occurred, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, and without notice to Tenant, draw upon the L-C, in part or in whole, and the proceeds may be applied by Landlord (i) to cure any breach or default of Tenant and/or to compensate Landlord for any and all damages of any kind or nature sustained resulting from Tenant’s breach or default, (ii) against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that is not paid when due and/or (iii) to pay for all losses and damages that Landlord has suffered or that Landlord reasonably estimates that it will suffer as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease. The use, application or retention of the L-C, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by any Applicable Laws, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the L-C, and shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the L-C, either prior to or following a “draw” by Landlord of any portion of the L-C, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord’s right to draw upon the L-C provided, however, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit Tenant from challenging the validity of the amount of said draw following the occurrence thereof. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the L-C conditional to justify the issuer of the L-C in failing to honor a drawing upon such L-C in a timely manner. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that (i) the L-C constitutes a separate and independent contract between Landlord and the Bank, (ii) Tenant is not a third party beneficiary of such contract, (iii) Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the L-C or the proceeds thereof, and (iv) in the event Tenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, neither Tenant, any trustee, nor Tenant’s bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord’s claim and/or rights to the L-C and/or the proceeds thereof by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -72-   [TRULIA, INC.]


21.4 Letter of Credit not a Security Deposit . Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the L-C or any renewal thereof or any proceeds thereof be (i) deemed to be or treated as a “security deposit” within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1950.7, (ii) subject to the terms of such Section 1950.7, or (iii) intended to serve as a “security deposit” within the meaning of such Section 1950.7. The parties hereto (A) recite that the L-C is not intended to serve as a security deposit and such Section 1950.7 and any and all other laws, rules and regulations applicable to security deposits in the commercial context (“ Security Deposit Laws ”) shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto and (B) 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.

21.5 Proceeds of Draw . In the event Landlord draws down on the L-C pursuant to Section 21.3(D) or (E)  above, the proceeds of the L-C may be held by Landlord and applied by Landlord against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that is not paid when due and/or to pay for all losses and damages that Landlord has suffered as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease. Any unused proceeds shall constitute the property of Landlord and need not be segregated from Landlord’s other assets. Tenant hereby (i) agrees that (A) Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the proceeds from any such draw, and (B) such proceeds shall not be deemed to be or treated as a “security deposit” under the Security Deposit Law, and (ii) waives all rights, duties and obligations either party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws. Landlord agrees that the amount of any proceeds of the L-C received by Landlord, and not (a) applied against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that was not paid when due or (b) used to pay for any losses and/or damages suffered by Landlord (or reasonably estimated by Landlord that it will suffer) as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease (the “ Unused L-C Proceeds ”), shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant (x) upon receipt by Landlord of a replacement L-C in the full L-C Amount, which replacement L-C shall comply in all respects with the requirements of this Article 21, or (y) within thirty (30) days after the LC Expiration Date; provided, however, that if prior to the LC Expiration Date a voluntary petition is filed by Tenant, or an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant by any of Tenant’s creditors, under the Bankruptcy Code, then Landlord shall not be obligated to make such payment in the amount of the Unused L-C Proceeds until either all preference issues relating to payments under this Lease have been resolved in such bankruptcy or reorganization case or such bankruptcy or reorganization case has been dismissed.

21.6 Bank Placed Into Receivership .

21.6.1 Bank Placed Into Receivership . In the event the Bank is placed into receivership or conservatorship (any such event, a “ Receivership ”) by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any successor or similar entity (the “ FDIC ”), then, effective as of the date such Receivership occurs, the L-C shall be deemed to not meet the requirements of this Article 21, and, within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s notice to Tenant of such Receivership (the “ LC Replacement Notice ”), Tenant shall (i) replace the L-C with a substitute L-C from a different issuer reasonably acceptable to Landlord and that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Article 21 , or (ii) in the event Tenant demonstrates to Landlord that

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -73-   [TRULIA, INC.]


Tenant is reasonably unable to obtain a substitute L-C from a different issuer reasonably acceptable to Landlord and that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Section 21.6.1 within the foregoing ten (10) business-day period, deposit with Landlord cash in the L-C Amount (the “ Interim Cash Deposit ”); provided, however, that, in the case of the foregoing sub-clause (ii), Tenant shall have the right to replace the L-C with a substitute L-C from a different issuer reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Section 21.6.1 . Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of any and all costs incurred with the review of any replacement L- C (including without limitation Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees), which replacement is required pursuant to this Section or is otherwise requested by Tenant.

21.6.2 Interim Cash Deposit . During any period that Landlord remains in possession of the Interim Cash Deposit (any such period, a “ Deposit Period ”), it is understood by the parties that such Interim Cash Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the full and faithful performance of Tenant’s covenants and obligations under this Lease. The Interim Cash Deposit shall not constitute an advance of any Rent, an advance payment of any other kind, nor a measure of Landlord’s damages in case of Tenant’s default. If, during any such Deposit Period, Tenant defaults with respect to any provisions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, the removal of property and the repair of resultant damage, then Landlord may but shall not be required to, from time to time, without notice to Tenant and without waiving any other remedy available to Landlord, use the Interim Cash Deposit, or any portion of it, to the extent necessary to cure or remedy such default or failure or to compensate Landlord for all damages sustained by Landlord or which Landlord reasonably estimates that it will sustain resulting from Tenant’s default or failure to comply fully and timely with its obligations pursuant to this Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord within ten (10) days after written demand any amount so applied in order to restore the Interim Cash Deposit to its original amount, and Tenant’s failure to do so shall constitute a default under this Lease. In the event Landlord is in possession of the Interim Cash Deposit at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and Tenant is in compliance with the covenants and obligations set forth in this Lease at the time of such expiration or termination, then Landlord shall return to Tenant the Interim Cash Deposit, less any amounts deducted by Landlord to reimburse Landlord for any sums to which Landlord is entitled under the terms of this Lease, within sixty (60) days following both such expiration or termination and Tenant’s vacation and surrender of the Premises. Landlord’s obligations with respect to the Interim Cash Deposit are those of a debtor and not a trustee. Landlord shall not be required to maintain the Interim Cash Deposit separate and apart from Landlord’s general or other funds, and Landlord may commingle the Interim Cash Deposit with any of Landlord’s general or other funds. Tenant shall not at any time be entitled to interest on the Interim Cash Deposit. In the event of a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the Interim Cash Deposit, in whole or in part, to the transferee and thereupon Landlord shall, without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the whole or any portion of said Interim Cash Deposit to a new landlord. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, or any successor statute.

21.7 Increase of L-C Amount . If the Premises is increased due to Tenant’s timely exercise of its rights under Section 1.3 (Hold Space), Section 1.4 (Expansion Space), or

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -74-   [TRULIA, INC.]


Section 1.5 (Right of First Offer), then (A) the L-C Amount shall be increased by an amount equal to the total amount of Base Rent payable by Tenant for the applicable space expanding the Premises during the last twelve (12) months of the then Lease Term, and (B) Tenant shall, within three (3) business days after the date on which Landlord delivers possession of the applicable space expanding the Premises, in the required condition, tender to Landlord a new L-C or a certificate of amendment to the existing L-C, conforming in all respects to the requirements of this Article 21 , in such increased L-C Amount.

21.8 Reduction of L-C Amount . The L-C Amount shall not be reduced during that period commencing on the Phase I Lease Commencement Date and expiring on September 30, 2019 (the “ Fixed Period ”). The Fixed Period shall be automatically extended (without the necessity of notice to Tenant) by four (4) months upon Tenant’s second (2 nd ) failure to pay any Rent or any other charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof, beyond applicable notice and cure periods, and shall be extended for an additional four (4) months upon each similar failure by Tenant thereafter. After the expiration of the Fixed Period (as the same may be extended pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence), provided that on or prior to the applicable Reduction Date, Tenant tenders to Landlord (a) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord demonstrating the Tenant satisfies the “L-C Reduction Conditions,” as that term is defined below, and (b) a certificate of amendment to the existing L-C (or a new L-C), conforming in all respects to the requirements of this Article 21 , in the amount of the applicable L-C Amount as of such Reduction Date, then the L-C Amount (as that amount may have been adjusted due to an expansion or reduction of the Premises in accordance with Article 1 of this Lease, the “ Adjusted L-C Amount ”), shall be reduced as follows:

SIGNS

23.1 Full Floors . So long as Tenant leases at least one (1) full floor of the Building, then subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, in its sole discretion, and provided all signs are in keeping with the quality, design and style of the Building and Project, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, may install identification signage anywhere in the Premises, including in the elevator lobby of each full floor of the Premises leased by Tenant, provided that such signs must not be visible from the exterior of the Building. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove all such signage and repair all damage to the Premises and the Building resulting from such removal.

23.2 Multi-Tenant Floors . If other tenants occupy space on the floor on which any portion of the Premises is located, Tenant’s identifying signage shall be provided by Landlord, at Tenant’s cost, and such signage shall be comparable to that used by Landlord for other similar floors in the Building and shall comply with Landlord’s then-current Building standard signage program.

23.3 Building Directory . Tenant shall have the right, at no charge to Tenant, to have Tenant’s name and the names of all of Tenant’s employees at the Premises entered into Landlord’s electronic directory in the lobby of the Building.

23.4 Exterior Signage . Throughout the Lease Term, as the same may be extended, so long as the Original Tenant or its Permitted Transferee occupies the entire initial Premises ( i.e. , at least 79,277 rentable square feet of space in the Building), Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to install, repair and maintain one (1) sign (the “ Initial Premises Exterior Sign ”) on the exterior portion of the south side of the Building, which Initial Premises Exterior Sign shall be Tenant’s name and/or logo. In addition, so long as the Original Tenant or its Permitted Transferee leases and occupies not less than 105,897 rentable square feet of space in the Building, Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to install, repair and maintain one (1) additional sign (the “ Expanded Premises Exterior Sign ” and, together with the Initial Premises Exterior Sign, “ Tenant’s Exterior Signage ”) on the exterior portion of the north side of the Building, which Expanded Premises Exterior Sign shall be Tenant’s name and/or logo.

Signage. Any such installation, repair and/or maintenance of Tenant’s Exterior Signage shall be subject to compliance with Applicable Laws and Landlord’s prior approval as to the shape, size and location of such signs, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord hereby approves of Tenant’s Exterior Signage in the general location and as shown on Exhibit H attached hereto. Landlord shall be entitled to grant exterior signage rights to other tenants in the Building; provided, however, that, except for any monument and retail signage installed at the Project, Landlord shall not grant exterior signage rights to any other tenant that does not lease an amount of rentable square feet in the Building at least equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of space then occupied by Tenant or its Permitted Transferee, or (ii) the RSF of the initial Premises ( i.e., 79,277 RSF of space). If Tenant changes its name at any time, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s cost, to modify or change Tenant’s Exterior Signage as necessary to reflect the changed name. Any such changes or alterations to Tenant’s Exterior Signage shall be subject to compliance with Applicable Laws and Landlord’s prior approval as to the shape, size and location of any such changes or alterations, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. To the extent Tenant desires to change the name and/or logo set forth on Tenant’s Exterior Signage, such name and/or logo shall not have a name which relates to an entity which is of a character or reputation, or is associated with a political faction or orientation, which is inconsistent with the quality of the Project, as reasonably determined by Landlord, or which would otherwise reasonably offend a landlord of the Comparable Buildings. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove all Tenant’s Exterior Signage and repair all damage to the Building resulting from such removal.

23.5 Prohibited Signage and Other Items . Any signs, notices, logos, pictures, names or advertisements which are installed and that have not been separately approved by Landlord may be removed without notice by Landlord at the sole expense of Tenant.

Any signs, window coverings, or blinds (even if the same are located behind the Landlord-approved window coverings for the Building), or other items visible from the exterior of the Premises or Building, shall be subject to the prior approval of Landlord, in its sole discretion.

ARTICLE 24

COMPLIANCE WITH LAW

24.1 In General . Tenant shall not do anything or suffer (to the extent within Tenant’s reasonable control) anything to be done in or about the Premises or the Project which will in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or other governmental rule, regulation or requirement now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated, including any such governmental regulations related to disabled access (collectively, “ Applicable Laws ”). At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with any Applicable Laws which relate to (i) Tenant’s use of the Premises, (ii) any Alterations made by Tenant to the Premises, and any Tenant Improvements in the Premises, or (iii) the Base Building, but as to the Base Building, only to the extent such obligations are triggered by Alterations made by Tenant to the Premises to the extent such Alterations are not normal and customary business office improvements, or triggered by the Tenant Improvements to the extent such Tenant Improvements are not normal

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -77-   [TRULIA, INC.]


and customary business office improvements, or triggered by Tenant’s use of the Premises for non-general office use. Should any standard or regulation now or hereafter be imposed on Tenant by a state, federal or local governmental body charged with the establishment, regulation and enforcement of occupational, health or safety standards for employers, employees, landlords or tenants, then Tenant agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to comply promptly with such standards or regulations and to cooperate with Landlord, including, without limitation, by taking such actions as Landlord may reasonably require, in Landlord’s efforts to comply with such standards or regulations. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any judicial action, regardless of whether Landlord is a party thereto, that Tenant has violated any of said governmental measures, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to contest in good faith the interpretation or alleged violation of Applicable Laws as the same relate to Tenant or the Premises, including, without limitation, the right to apply for and obtain a waiver or deferment of compliance, the right to assert any and all defenses and the right to appeal any decisions, judgments or rulings, provided that Tenant shall indemnify and defend Landlord from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability resulting from any such contest by Tenant. Tenant shall promptly pay all fines, penalties and damages that may arise out of or be imposed because of its failure to comply with the provisions of this Article 24 . Landlord shall comply with all Applicable Laws relating to the Base Building, provided that compliance with such Applicable Laws is not the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease, and provided further that Landlord’s failure to comply therewith would prohibit Tenant from obtaining or maintaining a certificate of occupancy for the Premises, or would unreasonably and materially affect the safety of Tenant’s employees or create a significant health hazard for Tenant’s employees, or would otherwise materially and adversely affect Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises. Landlord shall be permitted to include in Operating Expenses any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord under this Article 24 to the extent not prohibited by the terms of Article 4 of this Lease, above. For purposes of Section 1938 of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, that the Premises have not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp). Tenant hereby agrees to use reasonable efforts to notify Landlord if Tenant makes any Alterations or improvements to the Premises that might impact accessibility to the Premises or Building under any disability access laws. Landlord hereby agrees to use reasonable efforts to notify Tenant if Landlord makes any alterations or improvements to the Premises that might impact accessibility to the Premises or Building under any disability access laws.

ARTICLE 25

LATE CHARGES

The late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent and the right to require it shall be in addition to all of

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -78-   [TRULIA, INC.]


Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord’s remedies in any manner. In addition to the late charge described above, any Rent or other amounts owing hereunder which are not paid (i) within five (5) days after the date they are due, or (ii) upon the date they are due if any Rent or other amounts owing hereunder by Landlord or Tenant have not been received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within five (5) days after the date due on two (2) or more occasions during any given twelve (12) month period, shall bear interest from the date when due until paid at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (x) the annual “ Bank Prime Loan ” rate cited in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release publication H.15(519), published weekly (or such other comparable index as Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably agree upon if such rate ceases to be published) plus two (2) percentage points, and (y) the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law.

ARTICLE 26

LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULT; PAYMENTS BY TENANT

26.1 Landlord’s Cure . All covenants and agreements to be kept or performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any reduction of Rent, except to the extent, if any, otherwise expressly provided herein. If Tenant shall fail to perform any obligation under this Lease, and such failure shall continue, following notice from Landlord, in excess of the time allowed under Section 19.1.2 , above, unless a specific time period is otherwise stated in this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant’s part without waiving its rights based upon any default of Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any obligations hereunder.

26.2 Tenant’s Reimbursement . Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the following sums (which sums shall bear interest from the date accrued by Landlord until paid by Tenant at a rate per annum equal to interest at the rate set forth in Article 25 of this Lease, but in no case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law), within thirty (30) days following delivery by Landlord to Tenant of statements therefor: (i) sums equal to expenditures reasonably made and obligations reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with the remedying by Landlord of Tenant’s defaults pursuant to the provisions of Section 26.1 ; (ii) sums equal to all losses, costs, liabilities, damages and expenses referred to in Article 10 of this Lease; and (iii) sums equal to all expenditures made and obligations incurred by Landlord in collecting or attempting to collect the Rent or in enforcing or attempting to enforce any rights of Landlord under this Lease or pursuant to law, including, without limitation, all legal fees and other amounts so expended. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 26.2 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.

ARTICLE 27

ENTRY BY LANDLORD

Landlord reserves the right at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to Tenant (which notice, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 28 of this Lease,

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -79-   [TRULIA, INC.]


may be oral, and which notice shall not be required in the case of an emergency) to enter the Premises to (i) inspect them; (ii) show the Premises to prospective purchasers or to current or prospective mortgagees, ground or underlying lessors or insurers, or to prospective tenants during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term; (iii) post notices of nonresponsibility; (iv) make repairs to the Premises or to the Building or to any equipment located in the Premises as Landlord shall reasonably deem necessary; or (v) to the extent necessary in order for Landlord to take an action which Landlord has a right or an obligation to take under the terms of this Lease, or as Landlord may be required to do by governmental or quasi-governmental authority or court order or decree. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 27 , Landlord may enter the Premises at any time to (A) perform services required of Landlord, including janitorial service; (B) take possession due to any breach of this Lease in the manner provided herein; and (C) pursuant to Section 26.1 of this Lease (except in the case of an emergency), perform any covenants of Tenant which Tenant fails to perform. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the conduct of Tenant’s business in connection with all entries into the Premises. Landlord may make any such entries without the abatement of Rent (except as specifically set forth in Section 19.5.2 of this Lease) and may take such reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated purposes. Tenant hereby waives any claims for damages or for any injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business and/or lost profits occasioned thereby, provided that the foregoing shall not limit Landlord’s liability, if any, pursuant to Applicable Law for personal injury and property damage to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors. Provided that Landlord employs commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the conduct of Tenant’s business in connection with entries into the Premises, Tenant hereby waives any claims for any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises in connection with such entries; provided that Tenant does not waive any claim for actual or constructive eviction as a result of Landlord’s entry. For each of the above purposes, Landlord shall at all times have a key with which to unlock all the doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and special security areas designated in advance by Tenant. In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to use any means that Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article 27 , Tenant may designate in writing certain reasonable areas of the Premises as “ Secured Areas ” should Tenant require such areas for the purpose of securing certain valuable property or confidential information. In connection with the foregoing, Landlord shall not enter such Secured Areas except in the event of an emergency. Landlord need not clean any area designated by Tenant as a Secured Area and shall only maintain or repair such secured areas to the extent (i) such repair or maintenance is required in order to maintain and repair the Base Building; (ii) as required by Applicable Law, or (iii) in response to specific requests by Tenant and in accordance with a schedule reasonably designated by Tenant, subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval. Any entry into the Premises by Landlord in the manner hereinbefore described shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises. No provision of this Lease shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs, alterations or decorations except as otherwise expressly agreed to be performed by Landlord herein.

At the request of Landlord or any mortgagee or ground lessor, Tenant agrees to execute a short form of Lease and deliver the same to Landlord within ten (10) days following the request therefor.

29.5 Transfer of Landlord’s Interest . Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has the right to transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Project or Building and in this Lease, and Tenant agrees that in the event of any such transfer, Landlord shall automatically be released from all future liability under this Lease and Tenant agrees to look solely to such transferee for the performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder arising after the date of transfer provided that the transferee shall have fully assumed in writing and agreed to be liable for all obligations of this Lease to be performed by Landlord, including the return of the L-C and any unused L-C Proceeds in accordance with Article 21 , and the disbursement of any remaining portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (to the extent Tenant continues to have the right to use the

29.12 No Warranty . In executing and delivering this Lease, Tenant has not relied on any representations, including, but not limited to, any representation as to the amount of any item comprising Additional Rent or the amount of the Additional Rent in the aggregate or that Landlord is furnishing the same services to other tenants, at all, on the same level or on the same basis, or any warranty or any statement of Landlord which is not set forth herein or in one or more of the exhibits attached hereto.

Neither Landlord, nor any of the Landlord Parties shall have any personal liability therefor, and Tenant hereby expressly waives and releases such personal liability on behalf of itself and all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant. The limitations of liability contained in this

 

    [535 Mission Street]
  -83-   [TRULIA, INC.]


Section 29.13 shall inure to the benefit of Landlord’s and the Landlord Parties’ present and future partners, beneficiaries, officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, agents and employees, and their respective partners, heirs, successors and assigns. Under no circumstances shall any present or future partner of Landlord (if Landlord is a partnership), or trustee or beneficiary (if Landlord or any partner of Landlord is a trust), have any liability for the performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, neither Landlord nor the Landlord Parties shall be liable under any circumstances for any indirect or consequential damages including damages to Tenant’s business, loss of profits, loss of business opportunity and loss of goodwill, in each case, however occurring, provided that the foregoing shall not limit Landlord’s liability, if any, pursuant to applicable law for bodily injury and property damage to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors.

29.14 Entire Agreement . It is understood and acknowledged that there are no oral agreements between the parties hereto affecting this Lease and this Lease constitutes the parties’ entire agreement with respect to the leasing of the Premises and supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any, between the parties hereto or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject matter thereof, and none thereof shall be used to interpret or construe this Lease. None of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease can be modified, deleted or added to except in writing signed by the parties hereto.

29.15 Right to Lease . Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such other tenancies in the Project as Landlord in the exercise of its sole business judgment shall determine to best promote the interests of the Building or Project.

29.16 Force Majeure . Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, inability to obtain services, labor, or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental actions, civil commotions, fire or other casualty, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, except with respect to the obligations imposed with regard to Rent and other charges to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease (collectively, a “ Force Majeure ”), notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, shall excuse the performance of such party for a period equal to any such prevention, delay or stoppage and, therefore, if this Lease specifies a time period for performance of an obligation of either party, that time period shall be extended by the period of any delay in such party’s performance caused by a Force Majeure.

29.17 Waiver of Redemption by Tenant . Tenant hereby waives, for Tenant and for all those claiming under Tenant, any and all rights now or hereafter existing to redeem by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Premises after any termination of this Lease.

    [535 Mission Street]
  -84-   [TRULIA, INC.]


Summary, which parking passes shall pertain to the Project parking facility. Tenant shall pay to the parking facility operator (if any) or, at Landlord’s option, directly to Landlord for such parking passes on a monthly basis the prevailing rate charged from time to time at the location of such parking passes. In addition, Tenant shall be responsible for the full amount of any taxes imposed by any governmental authority in connection with the renting of such parking passes by Tenant or the use of the parking facility by Tenant. Tenant may change the number of parking passes rented pursuant to this Section  29.18 upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord; provided that notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Lease, if Tenant elects to rent less than all of the unreserved parking passes allotted to Tenant at any time during the Lease Term, then Tenant’s right to again increase the number of parking passes that it elects to rent under this Lease shall be subject to availability (as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion); and provided, further, that in no event shall Tenant be entitled to rent more than the amount and type of parking passes allocated to Tenant as set forth in Section 5 of the Summary during the Lease Term. Tenant shall supply Landlord with an identification roster listing, for each parking pass, the name of the employee and the make, color and registration number of the vehicle to which such parking pass has been assigned, and shall provide a revised roster to Landlord monthly indicating changes thereto. Tenant’s continued right to use the parking passes is conditioned upon Tenant abiding by all rules and regulations which are prescribed from time to time for the orderly operation and use of the parking facility where the parking passes are located, including any sticker or other identification system established by Landlord, Tenant’s cooperation in seeing that Tenant’s employees and visitors also comply with such rules and regulations and Tenant not being in default under this Lease. Landlord specifically reserves the right to change the size, configuration, design, layout and all other aspects of the Project parking facility at any time and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may, without incurring any liability to Tenant and without any abatement of Rent under this Lease, from time to time, close-off or restrict access to the Project parking facility for purposes of permitting or facilitating any such construction, alteration or improvements. Landlord may delegate its responsibilities hereunder to a parking operator in which case such parking operator shall have all the rights of control attributed hereby to the Landlord. The parking passes rented by Tenant pursuant to this Section 29.18 are provided to Tenant solely for use by Tenant’s own personnel and such passes may not be transferred, assigned, subleased or otherwise alienated by Tenant without Landlord’s prior approval, except in connection with a Transfer of the Premises pursuant to the terms of Article 14 of this Lease.

29.19 Joint and Several . If there is more than one Tenant, the obligations imposed upon Tenant under this Lease shall be joint and several.

29.20 Authority . If Tenant is a corporation, trust or partnership, Tenant hereby represents and warrants that Tenant is a duly formed and existing entity qualified to do business in California and that Tenant has full right and authority to execute and deliver this Lease and that each person signing on behalf of Tenant is authorized to do so.

29.21 Attorneys’ Fees . In the event that either Landlord or Tenant should bring suit for the possession of the Premises, for the recovery of any sum due under this Lease, or because of the breach of any provision of this Lease or for any other relief against the other, then all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the prevailing party therein shall be paid by the other party, which obligation on the part of the other party shall be deemed to have accrued on the date of the commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not the action is prosecuted to judgment.

1.1 Base, Shell and Core . Landlord has constructed, at its sole cost and expense, the base, shell, and core (i) of the Premises and (ii) of the floor of the Building on which the Premises is located (collectively, the “ Base, Shell, and Core ”). The Base, Shell and Core shall consist of the following elements: (A) base Building systems located in the vertical risers, raceways, and shafts (including elevator shafts and equipment, the telecom riser exclusive of equipment owned by third parties, electrical rooms, stair shafts and mechanical shafts) up to but not including the point of demarcation of such systems with the horizontal point of connection on a particular floor; (B) in the case of the sprinkler system, it shall additionally include the valve at the riser and the main sprinkler loop, but shall exclude branch pipes; (C) the concrete floor at each floor level, and (D) the Building’s steel and concrete superstructure. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Tenant Work Letter to the contrary, Tenant shall accept the Base, Shell and Core from Landlord in their presently existing, “as-is” condition; provided, however, that to the extent required in order to allow Tenant to legally occupy the Premises for the Permitted Use, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, cause the Base, Shell and Core to comply with the “Code”, as that term is defined in Section 2.2.5 of this Tenant Work Letter, and Applicable Laws in effect as of the date that Landlord approves the “Final Working Drawings”, as that term is defined in Section 3.3 of this Tenant Work Letter.

2.3 Standard Tenant Improvement Package . Landlord has established specifications (the “ Specifications ”) for the Building standard components to be used in the construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises (collectively, the “ Standard Improvement Package ”), which Specifications shall be supplied to Tenant by Landlord. The quality of Tenant Improvements shall be equal to or of greater quality than the quality of the Specifications, provided that Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, require the Tenant Improvements to comply with certain Specifications. Landlord may make changes to the Specifications for the Standard Improvement Package from time to time, provided that any such changes shall not impact items previously approved by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Tenant Work Letter.

2.4 Space Plan Allowance . Landlord shall contribute an amount not to exceed $0.15 per rentable square foot of up to two (2) floors of the Premises ( i.e. , an amount not to exceed $4,002.30 based on the total rentable square footage of the two largest floors in the Premises) (the “ Space Plan Allowance ”) toward the cost of a preliminary analysis and fit plan of up to two (2) floors in the Premises to be prepared by the “Architect” (as that term is defined below), and no portion of the Space Plan Allowance, if any, remaining after completion of the Tenant Improvements shall be available for use by Tenant.

In the event Tenant exercises its right to use all or any portion of the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance, an amount equal to the “Additional Monthly Base Rent,” as that term is defined below, shall be added to each month’s Base Rent payment in order to repay the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance to Landlord. The “ Additional Monthly Base Rent ” shall be determined as the missing component of an annuity, which annuity shall have (i) the amount of the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance utilized by Tenant as the starting principal amount, (ii) the number of monthly Base Rent payments to be made by Tenant during the Lease Term as the number of payments, (iii) seventy-one one-hundredths (.71), which is equal to eight and one-half percent (8.5%) divided by twelve (12) months per year, as the monthly interest factor and (iv) the Additional Monthly Base Rent as the missing component of the annuity. In the event that Tenant exercises its right to the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance pursuant to this Section 2.5 , (a) the “Tenant Improvement Allowance”, shall be deemed to include the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance which Tenant elects to utilize, (b) the parties shall promptly execute an amendment to the Lease (the “ Amendment ”) setting forth the new amount of the Base Rent and the additional amount of Tenant Improvement Allowance, computed in accordance with this Section 2.5 , and (c) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, concurrently with Tenant’s execution and delivery of the Amendment to Landlord, a new L-C or an amendment to the existing L-C, subject to the terms and conditions of Article 21 of the Lease, in an amount equal to the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance utilized by Tenant, which new L-C or modified L-C shall be held by Landlord pursuant to the terms of Article 21 of the Lease.
