1.ORGANIZATION
KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on July 12, 2007 as a Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2008. The Company conducts its business primarily through KBS Limited Partnership II, a Delaware limited partnership formed on August 23, 2007 (the “Operating Partnership”), and its subsidiaries. The Company is the sole general partner of and directly owns a 0.1% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, KBS REIT Holdings II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed on August 23, 2007 (“KBS REIT Holdings II”), owns the remaining 99.9% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and is its sole limited partner.
The Company invested in a diverse portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments. As of September 30, 2019, the Company owned six office properties (of which two were held for sale) and an office campus consisting of five office buildings.
Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the business of the Company is managed by KBS Capital Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of the Company, pursuant to an advisory agreement the Company renewed with the Advisor on June 6, 2019 (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Advisory Agreement is effective through May 21, 2020 and may be renewed for an unlimited number of one-year periods upon the mutual consent of the Advisor and the Company. Either party may terminate the Advisory Agreement upon 60 days’ written notice. The Advisor owns 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Upon commencing its initial public offering (the “Offering”), the Company retained KBS Capital Markets Group LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Advisor, to serve as the dealer manager of the Offering. The Company ceased offering shares of common stock in its primary offering on December 31, 2010 and terminated its primary offering on March 22, 2011. The Company terminated its dividend reinvestment plan effective May 29, 2014.
The Company sold 182,681,633 shares of common stock in its primary offering for gross offering proceeds of $1.8 billion. The Company sold 30,903,504 shares of common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $298.2 million. Also as of September 30, 2019, the Company had redeemed 28,053,701 shares sold in the Offering for $256.1 million.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies since it filed its audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, except for the Company’s adoption of the lease accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) effective on January 1, 2019. For further information about the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

(unaudited)
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, KBS REIT Holdings II, the Operating Partnership, and their direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and condensed notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Per Share Data
Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock equals basic net income (loss) per share of common stock as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
Distributions declared per common share were $0.056 and $0.630 in the aggregate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and consisted of the following:
For each month commencing January 2019 through June 2019, the Company’s board of directors declared distributions per common share in the amount of $0.02062500 per share of common stock to stockholders of record based on a monthly record date.
On June 12, 2019, the Company’s board of directors declared a special distribution in the amount of $0.45 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 17, 2019.
For each month commencing July 2019 through September 2019, the Company’s board of directors declared distributions per common share in the amount of $0.01875000 per share of common stock to stockholders of record based on a monthly record date.
Distributions declared per common share were $0.062 and $0.183 in the aggregate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Distributions declared per common share assumes each share was issued and outstanding each day that was a record date for distributions and were based on a monthly record date for each month during the periods commencing January 2018 through September 2018.
Segments
The Company invested in core real estate properties and real estate-related investments with the goal of acquiring a portfolio of income-producing investments. The Company’s real estate properties exhibit similar long-term financial performance and have similar economic characteristics to each other. As of September 30, 2019, the Company aggregated its investments in real estate properties into one reportable business segment.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the Company’s prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods. Upon adoption of the lease accounting standards of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 (described below), the Company accounted for tenant reimbursements for property taxes, insurance and common area maintenance as variable lease payments and recorded these amounts as rental income on the statement of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company reclassified $2.0 million and $7.6 million, respectively, of tenant reimbursement revenue for property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance to rental income for comparability purposes.
In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company sold two office properties and classified two office properties as held for sale. As a result, certain assets and liabilities were reclassified to held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented.

Revenue Recognition - Operating Leases
Real Estate
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the lease accounting standards under Topic 842 including the package of practical expedients for all leases that commenced before the effective date of January 1, 2019. Accordingly, the Company (i) did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) did not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing lease, and (iii) did not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company did not elect the practical expedient related to using hindsight to reevaluate the lease term. In addition, the Company adopted the practical expedient for land easements and did not assess whether existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the lease accounting standards of Topic 840 are or contain a lease under Topic 842.
In addition, Topic 842 provides an optional transition method to allow entities to apply the new lease accounting standards at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company adopted this transition method upon its adoption of the lease accounting standards of Topic 842, which did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2019. The Company’s comparative periods presented in the financial statements will continue to be reported under the lease accounting standards of Topic 840.
In accordance with Topic 842, tenant reimbursements for property taxes and insurance are included in the single lease component of the lease contract (the right of the lessee to use the leased space) and therefore are accounted for as variable lease payments and are recorded as rental income on the Company’s statement of operations beginning January 1, 2019. In addition, the Company adopted the practical expedient available under Topic 842 to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component and instead to account for those components as a single component if the nonlease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue recognition standard (Topic 606) and if certain conditions are met, specifically related to tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance which would otherwise be accounted for under the revenue recognition standard. The Company believes the two conditions have been met for tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance as (i) the timing and pattern of transfer of the nonlease components and associated lease components are the same and (ii) the lease component would be classified as an operating lease. Accordingly, tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance are also accounted for as variable lease payments and recorded as rental income on the Company’s statement of operations beginning January 1, 2019.
The Company recognizes minimum rent, including rental abatements, lease incentives and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases when collectibility is probable and records amounts expected to be received in later years as deferred rent receivable. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that can be taken in the form of cash or a credit against the tenant’s rent) that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:
whether the lease stipulates how a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;
whether the lessee or lessor supervises the construction and bears the risk of cost overruns;
whether the amount of a tenant improvement allowance is in excess of market rates;
whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;
whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general purpose in nature; and
whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.

In accordance with Topic 842, the Company makes a determination of whether the collectibility of the lease payments in an operating lease is probable. If the Company determines the lease payments are not probable of collection, the Company would fully reserve for any contractual lease payments, deferred rent receivable, and variable lease payments and would recognize rental income only if cash is received. Beginning January 1, 2019, these changes to the Company’s collectibility assessment are reflected as an adjustment to rental income. Prior to January 1, 2019, bad debt expense related to uncollectible accounts receivable and deferred rent receivable was included in operating, maintenance, and management expense in the statement of operations. Any subsequent changes to the collectibility of the allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2018, which was recorded prior to the adoption of Topic 842, are recorded in operating, maintenance, and management expense in the statement of operations.
Beginning January 1, 2019, the Company, as a lessor, records costs to negotiate or arrange a lease that would have been incurred regardless of whether the lease was obtained, such as legal costs incurred to negotiate an operating lease, as an expense and classifies such costs as operating, maintenance, and management expense on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, as these costs are no longer capitalizable under the definition of initial direct costs under Topic 842.
Square Footage, Occupancy and Other Measures
Square footage, occupancy, number of tenants and other similar measures, including annualized base rent and annualized base rent per square foot, used to describe real estate investments included in these condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements are unaudited and outside the scope of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm’s review of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with the standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments (“ASU No. 2016-13”). ASU No. 2016-13 affects entities holding financial assets and net investments in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-13 require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. ASU No. 2016-13 also amends the impairment model for available-for-sale securities. An entity will recognize an allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities as a contra-account to the amortized cost basis rather than as a direct reduction of the amortized cost basis of the investment, as is currently required. ASU No. 2016-13 also requires new disclosures. For financial assets measured at amortized cost, an entity will be required to disclose information about how it developed its allowance for credit losses, including changes in the factors that influenced management’s estimate of expected credit losses and the reasons for those changes. For financing receivables and net investments in leases measured at amortized cost, an entity will be required to further disaggregate the information it currently discloses about the credit quality of these assets by year of the asset’s origination for as many as five annual periods. For available-for-sale securities, an entity will be required to provide a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses and an aging analysis for securities that are past due. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2016-13 on its financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework -Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU No. 2018-13”). The primary focus of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU No. 2018-13 removes the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for the timing of transfers between levels and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. It also adds a requirement to disclose changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and to disclose the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop recurring and nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, entities may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop the Level 3 fair value measurements. In addition, public entities are required to provide information about the measurement uncertainty of recurring Level 3 fair value measurements from the use of significant unobservable inputs if those inputs reasonably could have been different at the reporting date. ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify the requirements. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2018-13 on its financial statements, but does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2018-13 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

(1) Annualized base rent represents annualized contractual base rental income as of September 30, 2019, adjusted to straight-line any contractual tenant concessions (including free rent), rent increases and rent decreases from the lease’s inception through the balance of the lease term. Annualized base rent excludes leases that have been executed but have not commenced as of September 30, 2019.
Operating Leases
The Company’s real estate properties held for investment are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of September 30, 2019, the leases had remaining terms, excluding options to extend, of up to 15.7 years with a weighted-average remaining term of 6.6 years. Some of the leases have provisions to extend the term of the leases, options for early termination for all or part of the leased premises after paying a specified penalty, rights of first refusal to purchase the property at competitive market rates, and other terms and conditions as negotiated. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. Generally, upon the execution of a lease, the Company requires a security deposit from the tenant in the form of a cash deposit and/or a letter of credit. The amount required as a security deposit varies depending upon the terms of the respective lease and the creditworthiness of the tenant, but generally is not a significant amount. Therefore, exposure to credit risk exists to the extent that a receivable from a tenant exceeds the amount of its security deposit. Security deposits received in cash related to tenant leases are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and totaled $3.4 million and $2.5 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized deferred rent from tenants, net of lease incentive amortization, which reduced rental income by $2.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the cumulative deferred rent balance was $78.8 million and $61.7 million, respectively, and is included in rents and other receivables on the accompanying balance sheets. The cumulative deferred rent balance included $54.8 million and $38.6 million of unamortized lease incentives as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, lease incentive payable was $52.1 million and $35.2 million, respectively, and is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets.
As of September 30, 2019, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s properties held for investment under non-cancelable operating leases was as follows (in thousands):
October 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019 $ 14,264

(1) Annualized base rent represents annualized contractual base rental income as of September 30, 2019, adjusted to straight-line any contractual tenant concessions (including free rent), rent increases and rent decreases from the lease’s inception through the balance of the lease term.
(2) Represents the expiration dates of the lease as of September 30, 2019 and does not take into account any tenant renewal options. Pursuant to a lease amendment that the Company entered into with Union Bank on December 31, 2017, Union Bank surrendered 15,829 rentable square feet of its total rentable square footage on March 31, 2018 and 31,320 rentable square feet of its total rentable square footage on June 30, 2018. In addition, Union Bank also surrendered 321 parking area passes on March 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $11.4 million of lease termination fees from Union Bank, of which $8.5 million was deferred as of December 31, 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, $1.4 million was recognized as rental income and $0.8 million was recognized as other operating income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, $1.4 million was recognized as rental income and $0.7 million was recognized as other operating income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, and $6.4 million was deferred as of September 30, 2019 and included in other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
(3) On August 2, 2019, the Company entered into amended and restated lease agreements with Union Bank relating to Union Bank’s office, retail, and storage spaces, which amended the terms of the leases as follows: (i) remeasured the existing rentable square footage from 295,563 rentable square feet to 307,729 rentable square feet effective June 1, 2020, (ii) of the 307,729 rentable square feet, a total of 131,135 rentable square feet of office space and 11,985 rentable square feet of retail space will be surrendered at various dates between May 31, 2020 and May 31, 2022 and the remaining 164,609 rentable square feet will expire on May 31, 2035, and (iii) the addition of 3,152 rentable square feet of retail space for a 15-year lease term expiring on May 31, 2035. Each of Union Bank’s amended and restated office and retail lease agreements has two five-year extension options on all or a portion of the leased space and a one-time option to terminate and cancel the lease in its entirety effective May 31, 2032, by delivering eighteen months’ notice and subject to payment of lease termination fees. Union Bank also has two one-time options to terminate and cancel a portion of its lease.
(4) The University of Phoenix has two options to extend the term of this lease for five years per option term.
(5) Per the lease agreement, 64,841 rentable square feet will expire on April 30, 2021 and the remainder will expire on April 30, 2033. Anadarko Petroleum Corporation has an option to terminate all or a portion of its leased space effective April 30, 2028 or April 30, 2030.
No other tenant accounted for more than 10% of annualized base rent.
Geographic Concentration Risk
As of September 30, 2019, the Company’s net investments in real estate in California and Colorado represented 27.9% and 10.7% of the Company’s total assets, respectively.  As a result, the geographic concentration of the Company’s portfolio makes it particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the California and Colorado real estate markets.  Any adverse economic or real estate developments in these markets, such as business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, changing demographics and other factors, or any decrease in demand for office space resulting from the local business climate, could adversely affect the Company’s operating results and its ability to make distributions to stockholders.

(1) Annualized base rent represents annualized contractual base rental income as of September 30, 2019, adjusted to straight-line any contractual tenant concessions (including free rent), rent increases and rent decreases from the lease’s inception through the balance of the lease term. Annualized base rent excludes leases that have been executed but have not commenced as of September 30, 2019.
(2) Subsequent to September 30, 2019, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the 100 & 200 Campus Driving Buildings and the 300-600 Campus Buildings (together, the “Campus Drive Buildings”) with a buyer unaffiliated with the Company or the Advisor. See Note 10, “Subsequent Events - Purchase and Sale Agreement for Sale of the Membership Interests in KBSII 100-200 Campus Drive, LLC and KBSII 300-600 Campus Drive, LLC.”
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $14.3 million to write down the carrying value of the Company’s investment in the Campus Drive Buildings to their contractual sales price less estimated costs to sell. The impairment was primarily due to estimated closing costs and disposition fees, which are reflected upon classification of the Campus Drive Buildings to held for sale. Subsequent to September 30, 2019, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the Campus Drive Buildings with a buyer unaffiliated with the Company or the Advisor. See Note 10, “Subsequent Events - Purchase and Sale Agreement for Sale of the Membership Interests in KBSII 100-200 Campus Drive, LLC and KBSII 300-600 Campus Drive, LLC.”

Recent Financing Transaction
Granite Tower Mortgage Loan
On August 30, 2019, in connection with the partial principal repayment of the Portfolio Loan Facility, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary (the “Granite Tower Mortgage Loan Borrower”), entered into a four-year mortgage loan with an unaffiliated lender (the “Granite Tower Mortgage Loan Agent”) for borrowings of up to $145.0 million (the “Granite Tower Mortgage Loan”). As of September 30, 2019, $95.4 million had been disbursed to the Company with the remaining loan balance of $49.6 million available for future disbursements, subject to certain conditions set forth in the loan agreement. The Granite Tower Mortgage Loan matures on September 1, 2023. The Granite Tower Mortgage Loan bears interest at a floating rate of 165 basis points over one-month LIBOR during the term of the loan. Monthly payments are initially interest-only. On January 1, 2022, monthly payments for the Granite Tower Mortgage Loan will begin to include principal and interest with principal payments calculated using an amortization schedule of 30 years for the balance of the loan term, with the remaining principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts due at maturity. The Company has the right to repay all or a portion of the Granite Tower Mortgage Loan without fee, premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions contained in the loan agreement.

7. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
Under GAAP, the Company is required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company is required to measure other non-financial and financial assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using a combination of market quotes, pricing models and other valuation techniques that involve significant management judgment. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available and for which markets contain orderly transactions will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments for which markets are inactive or consist of non-orderly trades. The Company evaluates several factors when determining if a market is inactive or when market transactions are not orderly. The following is a summary of the methods and assumptions used by management in estimating the fair value of each class of assets and liabilities for which it is practicable to estimate the fair value:
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rent and other receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities: These balances approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these items.
Notes payable: The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s estimates of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. Additionally, when determining the fair value of liabilities in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, the Company measures fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 3 inputs.
The following were the face values, carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s notes payable as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, which carrying amounts do not generally approximate the fair values (in thousands):
  September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018
  Face Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Face Value Carrying Amount Fair Value
Financial liabilities:
Notes payable $ 417,537    $ 416,593    $ 418,212    $ 416,868    $ 415,208    $ 416,163

Disclosure of the fair values of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to the Company as of the period end and requires a significant amount of judgment. Low levels of transaction volume for certain financial instruments have made the estimation of fair values difficult and, therefore, both the actual results and the Company’s estimate of value at a future date could be materially different.
Assets Recorded at Fair Value
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company measured the following assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (in thousands):
Fair Value Measurements Using
Total Quoted Prices in Active 
Markets for Identical Assets
(Level 1)
Significant Other
Observable Inputs
(Level 2)
Significant
Unobservable Inputs
(Level 3)
Nonrecurring Basis:
Impaired real estate held for sale $ 295,803    $ —    $ —    $ 295,803   

As of September 30, 2019, the Campus Drive Buildings classified as held for sale were measured at estimated fair value as these properties were impaired and the carrying values of these properties were adjusted to estimated fair value. The Company estimated the fair value for these impaired real estate properties held for sale based on the contractual sales price, less estimated costs to sell.

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has entered into the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor. This agreement entitles the Advisor to specified fees upon the provision of certain services with regard to the management of the Company’s investments, among other services, and the disposition of investments, as well as reimbursement of certain costs incurred by the Advisor in providing services to the Company.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements of KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. and the notes thereto. As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and, as required by context, KBS Limited Partnership II, a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as the “Operating Partnership,” and to their subsidiaries.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.
The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all of the risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
All of our executive officers, one of our directors and other key real estate and debt finance professionals are also officers, directors, managers, key professionals and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our advisor, the entity that acted as our dealer manager and/or other KBS-affiliated entities. As a result, they face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our advisor’s compensation arrangements with us and other KBS-sponsored programs and KBS-advised investors and conflicts in allocating time among us and these other programs and investors. These conflicts could result in unanticipated actions.
We pay substantial fees to and expenses of our advisor and its affiliates. These payments increase the risk that our stockholders will not earn a profit on their investment in us and increase the risk of loss to our stockholders.
We have used proceeds from financings, when necessary, to fund a portion of our distributions during our operational stage. We currently expect that our distributions will generally be paid from cash flow from operations and funds from operations from current or prior periods, except with respect to distributions paid from the net proceeds from the sale of real estate. We can give no assurance regarding the timing, amount or source of future distributions.
We depend on tenants for the revenue generated by our real estate investments and, accordingly, the revenue generated by our real estate investments is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants. Revenues from our properties could decrease due to a reduction in occupancy (caused by factors including, but not limited to, tenant defaults, tenant insolvency, early termination of tenant leases and non-renewal of existing tenant leases) and/or lower rental rates, making it more difficult for us to meet our debt service obligations and reducing our stockholders’ returns.
Our investments in real estate may be affected by unfavorable real estate market and general economic conditions, which could decrease the value of those assets and reduce the investment return to our stockholders. Revenues from our properties could decrease. Such events would make it more difficult for us to meet our debt service obligations and could reduce our stockholders’ returns.
Disruptions in the financial markets and uncertain economic conditions could adversely affect our ability to implement our business strategy and generate returns to our stockholders.
As of September 30, 2019, we have $376.6 million of variable debt outstanding, and we may incur additional variable rate debt in the future. The interest and related payments on our variable rate debt will vary with the movement of LIBOR or other indexes. Increases in one-month LIBOR or other indexes would increase the amount of our debt payments and could reduce our stockholders’ returns.
Our share redemption program provides only for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined in the share redemption program document, and, together with redemptions sought in connection with a stockholder’s death, “Special Redemptions”). The dollar amounts available for such redemptions are determined by the board of directors and may be reviewed and adjusted from time to time. Additionally, redemptions are further subject to limitations described in our share redemption program. We currently do not expect to have funds available for ordinary redemptions in the future.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Since we have terminated our dividend reinvestment plan, we may have to use a greater proportion of our cash flow from operations and proceeds from the sales of real estate properties to meet cash requirements for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, capital expenditures, tenant improvement costs and leasing costs related to our real estate properties; reserves required by financings of our real estate properties; the repayment of debt; and Special Redemptions under our share redemption program. This may reduce our stockholders’ returns.
As of September 30, 2019, we had classified two office properties as held for sale, which were under contract to sell as of November 12, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we sold three office buildings that were part of an eight-building office campus and received the repayment on one real estate loan receivable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we sold two office properties. As a result of our disposition activity, our general and administrative expenses, which are not directly related to the size of our portfolio, have increased as a percentage of our cash flow from operations and will continue to increase to the extent we sell additional assets.
Although the Special Committee (defined below) engaged a financial advisor to assist us and the Special Committee with the exploration of strategic alternatives for us, we are not obligated to enter into any particular transaction or any transaction at all. While we anticipate that our exploration of strategic alternatives and marketing of some of our remaining assets for sale will result in additional stockholder liquidity, there is no assurance that this will be the case, nor can we give assurance that it will provide a return to stockholders that equals or exceeds our estimated value per share. We do not expect to provide additional updates regarding our review of strategic alternatives until such time, if any, that we are prepared to announce a material transaction or to conclude the strategic review.
All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and in Part II, Item 1A herein.

Overview
We were formed on July 12, 2007 as a Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2008 and we intend to continue to operate in such a manner. We conduct our business primarily through our Operating Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner. Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our business is managed by our advisor, KBS Capital Advisors LLC, pursuant to an advisory agreement. KBS Capital Advisors conducts our operations and manages our portfolio of real estate investments. Our advisor owns 20,000 shares of our common stock. We have no paid employees.
We invested in a diverse portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments. As of September 30, 2019, we owned six office properties (of which two were held for sale) and an office campus consisting of five office buildings.
On September 27, 2007, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to offer a maximum of 280,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public, of which 200,000,000 shares were registered in our primary offering and 80,000,000 shares were registered under our dividend reinvestment plan. We ceased offering shares of common stock in our primary offering on December 31, 2010. We sold 182,681,633 shares of common stock in our primary offering for gross offering proceeds of $1.8 billion. We terminated the offering under our dividend reinvestment plan effective May 29, 2014. We sold 30,903,504 shares of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $298.2 million. Also as of September 30, 2019, we had redeemed 28,053,701 shares sold in our offering for $256.1 million.
On January 27, 2016, our board of directors formed the Special Committee composed of all of our independent directors to explore the availability of strategic alternatives involving us. As part of the process of exploring strategic alternatives, on February 23, 2016, the Special Committee engaged Evercore to act as our financial advisor and to assist us and the Special Committee with this process. Under the terms of the engagement, Evercore provided various financial advisory services, as requested by the Special Committee as customary for an engagement in connection with exploring strategic alternatives. Although the Special Committee engaged Evercore to assist us and the Special Committee with the exploration of strategic alternatives for us, we are not obligated to enter into any particular transaction or any transaction at all.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
The Special Committee determined that it would be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders to market some of our assets for sale while it continues to explore strategic alternatives for us. Based on the results of this sales effort, the board of directors may conclude that it would be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders to sell additional assets and, depending on the scope of the proposed asset sales, thereafter to adopt a plan of liquidation that would involve the sale of our remaining assets. In the event of such a determination, the proposed plan of liquidation would be presented to our stockholders for approval. While we anticipate that our exploration of strategic alternatives and marketing of some of our remaining assets for sale will result in additional stockholder liquidity, there is no assurance that this will be the case, nor can we give assurance that it will provide a return to stockholders that equals or exceeds our estimated value per share.
Our charter requires that we seek stockholder approval of our liquidation if our shares of common stock are not listed on a national securities exchange by March 31, 2018, unless a majority of our independent directors determines that liquidation is not then in the best interest of our stockholders. On March 12, 2019, the conflicts committee unanimously determined to postpone approval of our liquidation while the Special Committee continues to explore strategic alternatives for us. Our charter requires that the conflicts committee revisit the issue of liquidation at least annually.
Our focus in 2019 is to: continue to strategically sell assets and consider special distributions to stockholders; negotiate lease renewals or new leases that facilitate the sales process and enhance property stability for prospective buyers; complete capital projects, such as renovations or amenity enhancements, to attract quality buyers; and finalize our assessment of strategic alternatives.

Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets
Volatility in global financial markets and changing political environments can cause fluctuations in the performance of the U.S. commercial real estate markets. Possible future declines in rental rates, slower or potentially negative net absorption of leased space and expectations of future rental concessions, including free rent to renew tenants early, to retain tenants who are up for renewal or to attract new tenants, may result in decreases in cash flows from investment properties. To the extent there are increases in the cost of financing due to higher interest rates, this may cause difficulty in refinancing debt obligations at terms as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness.  Further, increases in interest rates would increase the amount of our debt payments under our variable rate debt obligations. Market conditions can change quickly, potentially negatively impacting the value of real estate investments. Management continuously reviews our investment and debt financing strategies to optimize our portfolio and the cost of our debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demands for funds during the short- and long-term are and will be for: the payment of operating expenses, capital expenditures and general and administrative expenses; payments under debt obligations; Special Redemptions of common stock pursuant to our share redemption program; and payments of distributions to stockholders. We intend to use our cash on hand, cash flow generated by our real estate properties, proceeds from debt financing and proceeds from the sale of real estate properties as our primary sources of immediate and long-term liquidity.
Our share redemption program provides only for Special Redemptions. During each calendar year, such Special Redemptions are limited to an annual dollar amount determined by the board of directors, which may be reviewed during the year and increased or decreased upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders. Special Redemptions are made at a price per share equal to the most recent estimated value per share of our common stock as of the applicable redemption date. We currently do not expect to make ordinary redemptions in the future. On December 3, 2018, our board of directors approved an annual dollar limitation of $10.0 million in the aggregate for the calendar year 2019 for Special Redemptions (subject to review and adjustment during the year by the board of directors), and further subject to the limitations described in the share redemption program. As of September 30, 2019, we had $5.7 million available for Special Redemptions for the remainder of 2019.
Our investments in real estate generate cash flow in the form of rental revenues and tenant reimbursements, which are reduced by operating expenditures, debt service payments, the payment of asset management fees and corporate general and administrative expenses. Cash flow from operations from our real estate investments is primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the net effective rental rates on our leases, the collectibility of rent and operating recoveries from our tenants and how well we manage our expenditures. As of September 30, 2019, our real estate properties were 74% occupied.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, our cash needs for capital expenditures and the payment of debt obligations were met with cash on hand. Operating cash needs during the same period were met with cash flow generated by our real estate. We paid distributions to our stockholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 using current period cash flow from operations, cash flow from operations in excess of distributions paid from prior periods, proceeds from debt financing and the net proceeds from the sales of two of our properties. We believe that our cash on hand, cash flow from operations, availability under our portfolio loan facility and mortgage loan and proceeds from the sales of real estate properties will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.
On June 12, 2019, our board of directors declared a special distribution in the amount of $0.45 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 17, 2019 (the “Special Distribution”). The Special Distribution was funded primarily from the net proceeds from the sales of Pierre Laclede Center and Emerald View at Vista Center on May 23, 2019. We paid the Special Distribution on June 21, 2019. Also on June 12, 2019, our board of directors approved an updated estimated value per share of our common stock of $4.50, effective June 17, 2019, to reflect the impact of the payment of the Special Distribution. The June 2019 estimated value per share was based solely on the December 3, 2018 estimated value per share reduced for the impact of the payment of the Special Distribution. This was the sole adjustment to the estimated value per share. For a full description of the methodologies and assumptions used in June 2019 estimated value per share determination, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with SEC on December 7, 2018 and our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 14, 2019.
Our cash flow from operations has decreased and will continue to decrease in future periods as a result of our disposition activity, and we have adjusted our distribution policy with respect to the amount of monthly distribution payments to take into account our disposition activity and current real estate investments. We may continue to make additional strategic asset sales as opportunities become available in the market and may further adjust our distribution policy as a result. Any future special distributions we make from the proceeds of dispositions will reduce our estimated value per share and this reduction will be reflected in our updated estimated value per share, which we expect to update no later than December 2019. As of September 30, 2019, we had classified two office properties as held for sale.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
As of September 30, 2019, we owned six office properties (of which two were held for sale) and an office campus consisting of five office buildings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash provided by operating activities was $10.9 million, compared to $50.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to lease termination fees received in 2018, the disposition of assets and the lease expiration of a tenant that occupied 100% of Corporate Technology Centre. Cash flows from operating activities will decrease in the future as a result of future asset sales.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $99.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and consisted of the following:
$130.3 million of net proceeds from the sale of two office properties; and
$31.0 million used for improvements to real estate.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash used in financing activities was $122.2 million and consisted of the following:
$134.4 million of proceeds from notes payable;
$133.7 million of principal payments on notes payable;
$117.6 million of cash used for distributions;
$4.4 million of cash used for redemptions of common stock; and
$0.9 million of payments of deferred financing costs.

In addition to using our capital resources to meet our debt service obligations, for capital expenditures and for operating costs, we use our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor. We paid our advisor fees in connection with the acquisition and origination of our assets and pay our advisor fees in connection with the management and disposition of our assets and for certain costs incurred by our advisor in providing services to us. Among the fees payable to our advisor is an asset management fee. With respect to investments in real estate, we pay our advisor a monthly asset management fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the amount paid or allocated to acquire the investment, plus the cost of any subsequent development, construction or improvements to the property. This amount includes any portion of the investment that was debt financed and is inclusive of acquisition fees and expenses related thereto. With respect to investments in loans and any investments other than real estate, we paid our advisor a monthly asset management fee calculated, each month, as one-twelfth of 0.75% of the lesser of (i) the amount paid or allocated to acquire or fund the loan or other investment (which amount included any portion of the investment that was debt financed and was inclusive of acquisition or origination fees and expenses related thereto) and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of such loan or other investment, plus the acquisition or origination fees and expenses related to the acquisition or funding of such investment, as of the time of calculation. We also continue to reimburse our advisor and our dealer manager for certain stockholder services.
As of September 30, 2019, we had $48.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and up to $112.0 million available for future disbursements under our portfolio loan facility and one of our mortgage loans, subject to certain conditions and restrictions set forth in the loan agreements, to meet our operational and capital needs.
In order to execute our investment strategy, we primarily utilized secured debt to finance a portion of our investment portfolio. Management remains vigilant in monitoring the risks inherent with the use of debt in our portfolio and is taking actions to ensure that these risks, including refinance and interest rate risks, are properly balanced with the benefit of using leverage. We limit our total liabilities to 75% of the cost (before deducting depreciation and other noncash reserves) of our tangible assets; however, we may exceed that limit if the majority of the conflicts committee approves each borrowing in excess of such limitation and we disclose such borrowings to our stockholders in our next quarterly report with an explanation from the conflicts committee of the justification for the excess borrowing. As of September 30, 2019, our borrowings and other liabilities were approximately 37% of both the cost (before deducting depreciation and other noncash reserves) and book value (before deducting depreciation) of our tangible assets.

Contractual Commitments and Contingencies

(2) Projected interest payments are based on the outstanding principal amounts, maturity dates and interest rates in effect as of September 30, 2019 (consisting of the contractual interest rate). We incurred interest expense of $12.1 million, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Results of Operations
Overview
As of September 30, 2018, we owned eight office properties and an office campus consisting of five office buildings. Subsequent to September 30, 2018, we sold two office properties. As a result, as of September 30, 2019, we owned six office properties (of which two were held for sale) and an office campus consisting of five office buildings. The results of operations presented for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are not directly comparable due to disposition activity. In general, we expect income and expenses to decrease in future periods due to disposition activity.

(1) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018 related to real estate disposed of on or after July 1, 2018.
(2) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018 related to real estate investments owned by us throughout both periods presented.
Rental income decreased from $30.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $24.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to dispositions of real estate properties subsequent to July 1, 2018 and an overall decrease in portfolio occupancy of 2% related to real estate properties held throughout both periods, partially offset by an increase in rental income as a result of the amendment of Union Bank’s lease in August 2019 and higher property tax recoveries at a real estate property held throughout both periods, which was due to a change in the arrangement whereby the tenant reimbursed us for property tax expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2019 instead of the tenant paying the property tax bill directly during the three months ended September 30, 2018. Overall, we expect rental income to decrease in future periods due to disposition activity and anticipated future dispositions of real estate properties.
Other operating income decreased from $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to dispositions of real estate properties subsequent to July 1, 2018 and a decrease in parking revenues from a property held throughout both periods as a result of waiving a tenant’s parking charges in 2019 due to a new lease agreement.
Operating, maintenance and management costs decreased from $8.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to dispositions of real estate properties subsequent to July 1, 2018, offset by an increase in operating, maintenance and management costs due to a change in the arrangement whereby the tenant reimbursed us for operating, maintenance and management costs during the three months ended September 30, 2019 instead of the tenant paying these costs directly during the three months ended September 30, 2018 for a property held throughout both periods. Also included in operating, maintenance and management costs for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.1 million of legal fees related to leasing. Upon adoption of the lease accounting standards of Topic 842, beginning January 1, 2019, as a lessor, we record legal costs incurred to negotiate an operating lease as an expense, as these costs are no longer capitalizable under the definition of initial direct costs under Topic 842.  Prior to January 1, 2019, these legal costs were capitalized and included in real estate, cost.  We expect operating, maintenance and management costs to decrease in future periods due to disposition activity and anticipated future dispositions of real estate properties, offset by general increases due to inflation.

Real estate taxes and insurance decreased from $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to dispositions of real estate properties subsequent to July 1, 2018, offset by an increase in property tax expenses of $0.3 million at a property held throughout both periods due to a change in the arrangement whereby the tenant reimbursed us for property tax expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2019 instead of the tenant paying the property tax bill directly during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and an increase of $0.3 million due to a higher property tax assessed value for one real estate property held throughout both periods. We expect real estate taxes and insurance to decrease in future periods due to disposition activity and anticipated future dispositions of real estate properties, partially offset by increases due to higher property tax assessed values.
Asset management fees with respect to our real estate investments decreased from $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to dispositions of real estate properties. All asset management fees incurred as of September 30, 2019 have been paid. We expect asset management fees to decrease in future periods due to disposition activity and anticipated future dispositions of real estate properties, partially offset by increases in capital improvements.
Depreciation and amortization decreased from $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $11.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 due to dispositions of real estate properties subsequent to July 1, 2018, offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization relating to various building improvements placed in service in 2018 at Union Bank Plaza and Willow Oaks Corporate Center and the acceleration of amortization of tenant improvements costs in connection with Union Bank’s amended and restated lease in August 2019. We expect depreciation and amortization to decrease in future periods due to disposition activity and anticipated future dispositions of real estate properties and an overall decrease in amortization of tenant origination costs related to lease expirations.
Interest expense increased from $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Included in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $0.4 million and $0.3 million of amortization of deferred financing costs, respectively. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to debt refinancing costs, an increase in one-month LIBOR and its impact on interest expense related to our variable debt and an overall increase in our total debt outstanding. In general, we expect interest expense to decrease in future periods due to debt repayments related to disposition activity and anticipated future asset sales, which may be offset by certain fees and costs that may be incurred due to the prepayment of certain loans. Our interest expense in future periods will also vary based on fluctuations in one-month LIBOR (for our variable rate debt) and our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the availability and cost of debt financing, loan draws and any debt repayments we make.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $14.3 million to write down the carrying value of our investment in the Campus Drive Buildings to their contractual sales price less estimated costs to sell. The impairment was primarily due to estimated closing costs and disposition fees, which are reflected upon classification of the Campus Drive Buildings to held for sale. Subsequent to September 30, 2019, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the Campus Drive Buildings with a buyer unaffiliated with us or our advisor. See “-Subsequent Events - Purchase and Sale Agreement for Sale of the Membership Interests in KBSII 100-200 Campus Drive, LLC and KBSII 300-600 Campus Drive, LLC.” We did not record any impairment charges on our real estate properties during three months ended September 30, 2018.

Other operating income decreased from $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to dispositions of real estate properties subsequent to January 1, 2018 and a decrease in parking revenues from a property held throughout both periods as a result of waiving a tenant’s parking charges in 2019 due to a new lease agreement.

Operating, maintenance and management costs increased from $25.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $25.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to a change in the arrangement whereby the tenant reimbursed us for operating, maintenance and management costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 instead of the tenant paying these costs directly during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 for a property held throughout both periods, and an increase in utility costs and general repair and maintenance costs, offset by dispositions of real estate properties subsequent to January 1, 2018. Also included in operating, maintenance and management costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.4 million of legal fees related to leasing. Upon adoption of the lease accounting standards of Topic 842, beginning January 1, 2019, as a lessor, we record legal costs incurred to negotiate an operating lease as an expense, as these costs are no longer capitalizable under the definition of initial direct costs under Topic 842. Prior to January 1, 2019, these legal costs were capitalized and included in real estate, cost.  We expect operating, maintenance and management costs to decrease in future periods due to disposition activity and anticipated future dispositions of real estate properties, offset by general increases due to inflation.
Real estate taxes and insurance increased from $13.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $14.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to an increase in property tax expenses of $1.1 million at a property held throughout both periods due to a change in the arrangement whereby the tenant reimbursed us for property tax expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 instead of the tenant paying the property tax bill directly during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and an increase of $0.5 million due to a higher property tax assessed value for one real estate property held throughout both periods, offset by a decrease in property tax and insurance due to dispositions of real estate properties subsequent to January 1, 2018. We expect real estate taxes and insurance to decrease in future periods due to disposition activity and anticipated future dispositions of real estate properties, partially offset by increases due to higher property tax assessed values.
Asset management fees with respect to our real estate investments decreased from $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to dispositions of real estate properties and the payoff of our real estate loan receivable subsequent to January 1, 2018, offset by a net increase in asset management fees for properties held throughout both periods due to an increase in capital improvements. All asset management fees incurred as of September 30, 2019 have been paid. We expect asset management fees to decrease in future periods due to disposition activity and anticipated future dispositions of real estate properties, partially offset by increases in capital improvements.
General and administrative expenses decreased from $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in professional fees.
Depreciation and amortization decreased from $38.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $33.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to dispositions of real estate properties subsequent to January 1, 2018 and as a result of lease expirations and early lease terminations related to properties held throughout both periods, partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization relating to the building improvements placed in service during 2018 at Willow Oaks Corporate Center and the 100 & 200 Campus Drive Buildings. We expect depreciation and amortization to decrease in future periods due to disposition activity and anticipated future dispositions of real estate properties and an overall decrease in amortization of tenant origination costs related to lease expirations.
Interest expense decreased from $13.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $13.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Included in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $1.2 million of amortization of deferred financing costs. Included in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $0.9 million of amortization of deferred financing costs and $0.3 million of debt refinancing costs. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to loan repayments in connection with dispositions of real estate properties subsequent to January 1, 2018, offset by an increase in one-month LIBOR and its impact on interest expense related to our variable debt. In general, we expect interest expense to decrease in future periods due to debt repayments related to disposition activity and anticipated future asset sales, which may be offset by certain fees and costs that may be incurred due to the prepayment of certain loans. Our interest expense in future periods will also vary based on fluctuations in one-month LIBOR (for our variable rate debt) and our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the availability and cost of debt financing, loan draws and any debt repayments we make.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $14.3 million to write down the carrying value of our investment in the Campus Drive Buildings to their contractual sales price less estimated costs to sell. The impairment was primarily due to estimated closing costs and disposition fees, which are reflected upon classification of the Campus Drive Buildings to held for sale. Subsequent to September 30, 2019, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the Campus Drive Buildings with a buyer unaffiliated with us or our advisor. See “-Subsequent Events - Purchase and Sale Agreement for Sale of the Membership Interests in KBSII 100-200 Campus Drive, LLC and KBSII 300-600 Campus Drive, LLC.” We did not record any impairment charges on our real estate properties during three months ended September 30, 2018.
We recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $30.8 million related to dispositions of two office properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $24.9 million related to dispositions of three office buildings that were part of an eight-building office campus.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
We believe that funds from operations (“FFO”) is a beneficial indicator of the performance of an equity REIT. We compute FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. FFO represents net income, excluding gains and losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), impairment losses on real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We believe FFO facilitates comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other REITs. However, our computation of FFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. Our management believes that historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and provides a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities.
Changes in accounting rules have resulted in a substantial increase in the number of non-operating and non-cash items included in the calculation of FFO. As a result, our management also uses modified funds from operations (“MFFO”) as an indicator of our ongoing performance. MFFO excludes from FFO: adjustments related to contingent purchase price obligations; amounts relating to straight-line rents and amortization of above and below market intangible lease assets and liabilities; accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; amortization of closing costs relating to debt investments; impairments of real estate-related investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; and gains or losses included in net income for the extinguishment or sale of debt or hedges. We compute MFFO in accordance with the definition of MFFO included in the practice guideline issued by the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (formerly known as the Investment Program Association) (“IPA”) in November 2010 as interpreted by management. Our computation of MFFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not compute MFFO in accordance with the current IPA definition or that interpret the current IPA definition differently than we do.
We believe that MFFO is helpful as a measure of ongoing operating performance because it excludes non-operating items included in FFO. MFFO excludes non-cash items such as straight-line rental revenue. Additionally, we believe that MFFO provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance indicators and analysis used by management, in addition to net income and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, to evaluate the sustainability of our operating performance. MFFO provides comparability in evaluating the operating performance of our portfolio with other non-traded REITs which typically have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies. MFFO, or an equivalent measure, is routinely reported by non-traded REITs, and we believe often used by analysts and investors for comparison purposes.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
FFO and MFFO are non-GAAP financial measures and do not represent net income as defined by GAAP. Net income as defined by GAAP is the most relevant measure in determining our operating performance because FFO and MFFO include adjustments that investors may deem subjective, such as adding back expenses such as depreciation and amortization and the other items described above. Accordingly, FFO and MFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indicator of our current and historical operating performance. In addition, FFO and MFFO do not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an indication of our liquidity. We believe FFO and MFFO, in addition to net income and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, are meaningful supplemental performance measures; however, neither FFO nor MFFO reflects adjustments for the operations of properties and real estate-related investments sold, held for sale or repaid during the periods presented. During periods of significant disposition activity, FFO and MFFO are much more limited measures of future performance. In connection with our presentation of FFO and MFFO, we are providing information related to the proportion of MFFO related to properties sold, held for sale and real estate-related investments repaid as of September 30, 2019.
Although MFFO includes other adjustments, the exclusion of straight-line rent, the amortization of above- and below-market leases and loss from extinguishment of debt are the most significant adjustments for the periods presented.  We have excluded these items based on the following economic considerations:
Adjustments for straight-line rent.  These are adjustments to rental revenue as required by GAAP to recognize contractual lease payments on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective lease.  We have excluded these adjustments in our calculation of MFFO to more appropriately reflect the current economic impact of our in-place leases, while also providing investors with a useful supplemental metric that addresses core operating performance by removing rent we expect to receive in a future period or rent that was received in a prior period;
Amortization of above- and below-market leases.  Similar to depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and lease related costs that are excluded from FFO, GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of intangible lease assets and liabilities diminishes predictably over time and requires that these charges be recognized currently in revenue.  Since real estate values and market lease rates in the aggregate have historically risen or fallen with local market conditions, management believes that by excluding these charges, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economics of the real estate; and
Loss from extinguishment of debt. A loss from extinguishment of debt, which includes prepayment fees related to the extinguishment of debt, represents the difference between the carrying value of any consideration transferred to the lender in return for the extinguishment of a debt and the net carrying value of the debt at the time of settlement. We have excluded the loss from extinguishment of debt in our calculation of MFFO because these losses do not impact the current operating performance of our investments and do not provide an indication of future operating performance.
Our calculation of FFO, which we believe is consistent with the calculation of FFO as defined by NAREIT, is presented in the following table, along with our calculation of MFFO, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands). No conclusions or comparisons should be made from the presentation of these periods.

_____________________
(1) “Distributions Declared” and “Distributions Declared Per Share” consist of the following:
For each month commencing January 2019 through June 2019, our board of directors declared distributions per common share in the amount of $0.02062500 per share of common stock to stockholders of record based on a monthly record date. These distributions totaled approximately $23.1 million.
On June 12, 2019, our board of directors declared the Special Distribution in the amount of $0.45 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 17, 2019. This Special Distribution totaled approximately $83.7 million.
For each month commencing July 2019 through September 2019, our board of directors declared distributions per common share in the amount of $0.01875000 per share of common stock to stockholders of record based on a monthly record date. These distributions totaled approximately $10.8 million.
(2) Other than the Special Distribution, distributions were paid on a monthly basis, on or about the first business day of the following month.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we paid aggregate distributions of $117.6 million, all of which were paid in cash. FFO and cash flow from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $19.0 million and $10.9 million, respectively. We funded our total distributions paid with $12.5 million of current period cash flow from operations, $11.7 million of cash flow from operations in excess of distributions paid from prior periods, $83.7 million of net proceeds from the sale of real estate and $9.7 million of proceeds from debt financing. For purposes of determining the source of our distributions paid and other than for special distributions, we assume first that we use cash flow from operations from the relevant periods to fund distribution payments. See the reconciliation of FFO to net income above.
Over the long term, we expect that our distributions will generally be paid from cash flow from operations, FFO from current or prior periods and proceeds from sales of our assets.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
As of September 30, 2019, we had classified two office properties as held for sale, which were under contract to sell as of November 12, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we sold two office properties. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we sold three office buildings that were part of an eight-building office campus and received the repayment on one real estate loan receivable. Our cash flow from operations has decreased and will continue to decrease as a result of our disposition activity, and we have adjusted our distribution policy with respect to the amount of monthly distribution payments to take into account our disposition activity and current real estate investments. We may continue to make additional strategic asset sales as opportunities become available in the market and may further adjust our distribution policy as a result.
On June 12, 2019, our board of directors approved an updated estimated value per share of our common stock of $4.50, effective June 17, 2019, to reflect the impact of the payment of the Special Distribution. The June estimated value per share was based solely on the December 3, 2018 estimated value per share reduced for the impact of the payment of the Special Distribution. For a full description of the methodologies and assumptions used in our estimated value per share determination, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with SEC on December 7, 2018 and our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 14, 2019. Any future special distributions we make from the proceeds of dispositions will reduce our estimated value per share and this reduction will be reflected in our updated estimated value per share, which we expect to update no later than December 2019.
Our operating performance and ability to pay distributions from our cash flow from operations and/or the disposition of our assets cannot be accurately predicted and may deteriorate in the future due to numerous factors, including those discussed under “Forward — Looking Statements,” “—Market Outlook — Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets,” “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “—Results of Operations” herein and the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC, and the risks discussed in Part II, Item 1A herein. Those factors include: the future operating performance of our investments in the existing real estate and financial environment; the success and economic viability of our tenants; our ability to refinance existing indebtedness at comparable terms; changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt obligation; our ability to successfully dispose of additional assets; and the sources and amounts of cash we have available for distributions.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated interim financial statements and condensed notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC. There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies during 2019, except for our adoption of the lease accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board effective on January 1, 2019.
Revenue Recognition - Operating Leases
Real Estate
On January 1, 2019, we adopted the lease accounting standards under Topic 842 including the package of practical expedients for all leases that commenced before the effective date of January 1, 2019. Accordingly, we (i) did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) did not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing lease, and (iii) did not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. We did not elect the practical expedient related to using hindsight to reevaluate the lease term. In addition, we adopted the practical expedient for land easements and did not assess whether existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the lease accounting standards of Topic 840 are or contain a lease under Topic 842.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
In addition, Topic 842 provides an optional transition method to allow entities to apply the new lease accounting standards at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. We adopted this transition method upon our adoption of the lease accounting standards of Topic 842, which did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2019. Our comparative periods presented in the financial statements will continue to be reported under the lease accounting standards of Topic 840.
In accordance with Topic 842, tenant reimbursements for property taxes and insurance are included in the single lease component of the lease contract (the right of the lessee to use the leased space) and therefore are accounted for as variable lease payments and are recorded as rental income on our statement of operations beginning January 1, 2019. In addition, we adopted the practical expedient available under Topic 842 to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component and instead to account for those components as a single component if the nonlease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue recognition standard (Topic 606) and if certain conditions are met, specifically related to tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance which would otherwise be accounted for under the revenue recognition standard. We believe the two conditions have been met for tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance as (i) the timing and pattern of transfer of the nonlease components and associated lease components are the same and (ii) the lease component would be classified as an operating lease. Accordingly, tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance are also accounted for as variable lease payments and recorded as rental income on our statement of operations beginning January 1, 2019.
We recognize minimum rent, including rental abatements, lease incentives and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases when collectibility is probable and record amounts expected to be received in later years as deferred rent receivable. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, we determine whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or us. When we are the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that can be taken in the form of cash or a credit against the tenant’s rent) that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:
whether the lease stipulates how a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;
whether the lessee or lessor supervises the construction and bears the risk of cost overruns;
whether the amount of a tenant improvement allowance is in excess of market rates;
whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;
whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general purpose in nature; and
whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.
In accordance with Topic 842, we make a determination of whether the collectibility of the lease payments in an operating lease is probable. If we determine the lease payments are not probable of collection, we would fully reserve for any contractual lease payments, deferred rent receivable, and variable lease payments and would recognize rental income only if cash is received. Beginning January 1, 2019, these changes to our collectibility assessment are reflected as an adjustment to rental income. Prior to January 1, 2019, bad debt expense related to uncollectible accounts receivable and deferred rent receivable was included in operating, maintenance, and management expense in the statement of operations. Any subsequent changes to the collectibility of the allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2018, which was recorded prior to the adoption of Topic 842, are recorded in operating, maintenance, and management expense in the statement of operations.
Beginning January 1, 2019, we, as a lessor, record costs to negotiate or arrange a lease that would have been incurred regardless of whether the lease was obtained, such as legal costs incurred to negotiate an operating lease, as an expense and classify such costs as operating, maintenance, and management expense on our consolidated statement of operations, as these costs are no longer capitalizable under the definition of initial direct costs under Topic 842.

We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Distributions Paid
On October 1, 2019, we paid distributions of $3.5 million, which related to distributions declared for September 2019 in the amount of $0.01875000 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 20, 2019. On November 1, 2019, we paid distributions of $3.5 million, which related to distributions declared for October 2019 in the amount of $0.01875000 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 21, 2019.
Purchase and Sale Agreement for Sale of the Membership Interests in KBSII 100-200 Campus Drive, LLC and KBSII 300-600 Campus Drive, LLC
On September 9, 2008, we, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, KBSII 100-200 Campus Drive, LLC, purchased two four-story office buildings located at 100 & 200 Campus Drive in Florham Park, New Jersey containing 590,458 rentable square feet on an approximate 71.1-acre parcel of land (the “100 & 200 Campus Drive Buildings”). On October 10, 2008, we, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, KBSII 300-600 Campus Drive, LLC, purchased four four-story office buildings containing 578,388 rentable square feet (the “300-600 Campus Drive Buildings”). The 300-600 Campus Drive Buildings are located at 300, 400, 500 and 600 Campus Drive in Florham Park, New Jersey on an approximate 64.80-acre parcel of land.
On October 22, 2019, we, through indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into a membership interest purchase and sale agreement and escrow instructions (the “Agreement”) for the sale of all of the membership interests of KBSII 300-600 Campus Drive, LLC (the owner of the 300-600 Campus Drive Buildings) and KBSII 100-200 Campus Drive, LLC (the owner of the 100 & 200 Campus Drive Buildings)(together, the “Property Owners”) to a buyer unaffiliated with us or our advisor (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the total purchase price for the Property Owners is $320.0 million.
On October 30, 2019, we, through indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into the first amendment to the Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with the Purchaser to extend the ending date of the due diligence period from October 30, 2019 to October 31, 2019, and on October 31, 2019, we, through indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into the second amendment to the Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with the Purchaser to reduce the total purchase price for the Property Owners to $311.0 million.
Per the Agreement, the closing date is expected to be on or before December 16, 2019.  Under the Second Amendment, the Purchaser has an option to extend the closing date to January 16, 2020 and a second option to extend the closing date to January 31, 2020, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Second Amendment. There can be no assurance that we will complete the sale of the Property Owners. The Purchaser would be obligated to purchase the Property Owners only after satisfaction of agreed upon closing conditions. In some circumstances, if the Purchaser fails to complete the acquisition, it may forfeit up to $4.0 million of earnest money.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes as a result of borrowings used to maintain liquidity, to fund the financing and refinancing of our real estate investment portfolio and to fund our operations. Our profitability and the value of our investment portfolio may be adversely affected during any period as a result of interest rate changes. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings, prepayment penalties and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs.
We borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future payments on our fixed rate debt unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. As of September 30, 2019, the fair value of our fixed rate debt was $40.9 million and the outstanding principal balance of our fixed rate debt was $40.9 million. The fair value estimate of our fixed rate debt is calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loans were originated as of September 30, 2019. With respect to our fixed rate instruments, we do not expect that fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting change in fair value of our fixed rate instruments, would have a significant impact on our ongoing operations.
Conversely, movements in interest rates on our variable rate debt would change our future earnings and cash flows, but not significantly affect the fair value of those instruments. However, changes in required risk premiums would result in changes in the fair value of variable rate instruments. As of September 30, 2019, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $376.6 million of variable rate debt outstanding. Based on interest rates as of September 30, 2019, if interest rates were 100 basis points higher or lower during the 12 months ending September 30, 2020, interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase or decrease by $3.8 million.
The interest rates of our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt as of September 30, 2019 were 3.5% and 3.6%, respectively. The interest rates represent the actual interest rate in effect as of September 30, 2019, using interest rate indices as of September 30, 2019, where applicable.
For a discussion of the interest rate risks related to the current capital and credit markets, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Market Outlook — Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets” herein and the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the risks discussed below, please see the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC.
A significant percentage of our assets is invested in the 100 & 200 Campus Drive Buildings and the 300-600 Campus Drive Buildings (together, the “Campus Drive Buildings”), Union Bank Plaza, Corporate Technology Centre and Granite Tower and the value of our stockholders’ investment in us will fluctuate with the performance of these investments.
The Campus Drive Buildings represented 24.3% of our total assets and represented approximately 31.8% of our total annualized base rent as of September 30, 2019. On October 22, 2019, we, through wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into an agreement to sell the Campus Drive Buildings. We can give no assurance that we will complete the sale of these properties. Union Bank Plaza represented approximately 15.2% of our total assets and represented approximately 23.5% of our total annualized base rent as of September 30, 2019. Corporate Technology Centre represented approximately 12.7% of our total assets and represented approximately 5.7% of our total annualized base rent as of September 30, 2019. The lease for the single tenant that occupied Corporate Technology Centre expired on October 31, 2018. As a result of renovating, rebranding and leasing-up this property, occupancy is currently at 42%. We can give no assurance that we will be successful in our strategy to renovate and re-lease Corporate Technology Centre. If we are not successful in our strategy to renovate and re-lease the remaining three vacant buildings, our operating results will suffer and the resale value of the property will be diminished.  Granite Tower represented 10.7% of our total assets and represented approximately 18.7% of our total annualized base rent as of September 30, 2019.
The geographic concentration of our portfolio makes us particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the Florham Park, New Jersey, Los Angeles, San Jose and Denver real estate markets, respectively. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in these markets, such as business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, changing demographics and other factors, or any decrease in demand for office space resulting from the local business climate, could adversely affect our operating results and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.
Because of the concentration of a significant portion of our assets in three geographic areas, any adverse economic, real estate or business conditions in these areas could affect our operating results and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
As of September 30, 2019, our real estate properties in California, New Jersey and Colorado represented 27.9%, 24.3% and 10.7% of our total assets, respectively. As a result, the geographic concentration of our portfolio makes it particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the California, New Jersey and Colorado real estate markets. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in these markets, such as business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, changing demographics and other factors, or any decrease in demand for office space resulting from the local business climate, could adversely affect our operating results and our ability to pay distributions to stockholders.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds (continued)
a.)During the period covered by this Form 10-Q, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
b.)Not applicable.
c.)Our share redemption program provides only for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined in the share redemption program and, together with redemptions sought in connection with a stockholder’s death, “Special Redemptions”). Such redemptions are subject to the limitations described in the share redemption program document, including:
During each calendar year, Special Redemptions are limited to an annual dollar amount determined by the board of directors, which may be reviewed during the year and increased or decreased upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders. We may provide notice by including such information (a) in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or (b) in a separate mailing to the stockholders. On December 3, 2018, our board of directors approved the dollar amount limitation for Special Redemptions for calendar year 2019 of $10.0 million in the aggregate (subject to review and adjustment during the year by the board of directors), and further subject to the limitations described in the share redemption program.
During any calendar year, we may redeem no more than 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year.
We have no obligation to redeem shares if the redemption would violate the restrictions on distributions under Maryland General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency.
If we cannot repurchase all shares presented for redemption in any month because of the limitations on redemptions set forth in our share redemption program, then we will honor redemption requests on a pro rata basis, except that if a pro rata redemption would result in a stockholder owning less than the minimum purchase requirement described in our currently effective, or our most recently effective, registration statement as such registration statement has been amended or supplemented, then we would redeem all of such stockholder’s shares.
Upon a transfer of shares, any pending redemption requests with respect to such transferred shares will be canceled as of the date the transfer is accepted by us.  Stockholders wishing to continue to have a redemption request related to any transferred shares considered by us must resubmit their redemption request.
Pursuant to the share redemption program, redemptions made in connection with Special Redemptions are made at a price per share equal to the most recent estimated value per share of our common stock as of the applicable redemption date. We do not currently expect to have funds available for ordinary redemptions in the future.
On December 3, 2018, our board of directors approved an estimated value per share of our common stock of $4.95 (unaudited) (the “December EVPS”) based on the estimated value of our assets less the estimated value of our liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding, all as of September 30, 2018. The change in the redemption price became effective for the December 2018 redemption date, which was December 31, 2018, and was effective through the May 2019 redemption date, which was May 31, 2019. For a full description of the methodologies used to value our assets and liabilities in connection with the calculation of the December EVPS, see Part II, Item 5, “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities - Market Information” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 13, 2019.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds (continued)
In connection with the declaration of the Special Distribution, on June 12, 2019, our board of directors approved an updated estimated value per share of our common stock of $4.50 (unaudited), effective June 17, 2019, which was the record date for the Special Distribution, based solely on subtracting the Special Distribution declared by our board of directors in the amount of $0.45 per share of common stock from the December EVPS of $4.95. This was the sole adjustment to the estimated value per share. The change in the redemption price became effective for the June 2019 redemption date, which was June 28, 2019, and will be effective until the estimated value per share is updated. We expect to utilize our advisor and/or an independent valuation firm to update the estimated value per share no later than December 2019. For a full description of the methodologies used to determine the estimated value per share, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 14, 2019.
We may amend, suspend or terminate our share redemption program for any reason upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders, and we may increase or decrease the funding available for the redemption of shares under the program upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders. We may provide this notice by including such information (a) in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the SEC or (b) in a separate mailing to our stockholders.
The only redemptions we made under our share redemption program during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were those that qualified as, and met the requirements for, Special Redemptions under our share redemption program and we fulfilled all redemption requests that qualified as Special Redemptions under our share redemption program. We funded redemptions during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 with existing cash on hand.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we redeemed shares pursuant to our share redemption program as follows:

(2) We describe the determination of the redemption price above.
(3) We limit the dollar value of shares that may be redeemed under the share redemption program as described above. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we redeemed $4.3 million of shares of common stock, which represented all redemption requests received in good order and eligible for redemption through the September 2019 redemption date. Based on the redemption limitations described above and redemptions through September 30, 2019, we may redeem up to $5.7 million of shares in connection with Special Redemptions for the remainder of 2019.

Financing of Granite Tower Mortgage Loan
On August 30, 2019, we repaid $62.0 million due under the Portfolio Loan Facility and Granite Tower was released as security from the loan. In connection with the partial principal repayment of the Portfolio Loan Facility, on August 30, 2019, we, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary (the “Granite Tower Mortgage Loan Borrower”), entered into a four-year mortgage loan with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, sole arranger and bookrunner (the “Granite Tower Mortgage Loan Agent”), for borrowings of up to $145.0 million (the “Granite Tower Mortgage Loan”). At closing, $95.4 million was funded and the remaining $49.6 million was available for future disbursements, subject to certain conditions set forth in the loan agreement. The Granite Tower Mortgage Loan matures on September 1, 2023. The Granite Tower Mortgage Loan bears interest at a floating rate of 165 basis points over one-month LIBOR during the term of the loan. Monthly payments are initially interest-only. On January 1, 2022, monthly payments for the Granite Tower Mortgage Loan will begin to include principal and interest with principal payments calculated using an amortization schedule of 30 years for the balance of the loan term, with the remaining principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts due at maturity. We have the right to repay all or a portion of the Granite Tower Mortgage Loan without fee, premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions contained in the loan agreement.
KBS REIT Properties II, LLC (“REIT Properties II”), our wholly owned subsidiary, is providing a guaranty of (i) payment of, and agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Granite Tower Mortgage Loan Agent and each lender for, from and against, any liability, obligation, deficiency, loss, damage, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), and any litigation which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred or suffered by the Granite Tower Mortgage Loan Agent or any lender because of (a) certain intentional actions committed by the Granite Tower Mortgage Loan Borrower, (b) fraud or intentional misrepresentations by the Granite Tower Mortgage Loan Borrower or REIT Properties II in connection with the loan documents as described in the guaranty agreement, and (c) certain bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings involving the Granite Tower Mortgage Loan Borrower, as such acts are described in the guaranty, and (ii) upon and subject to the events and conditions described in the guaranty, payment of certain indemnity obligations of the Granite Tower Mortgage Loan Borrower related to environmental matters.
REIT Properties II also provides a limited completion guaranty of all obligations of the Granite Tower Mortgage Loan Borrower under an amendment of a major tenant’s lease up to a maximum guaranteed amount of $45.7 million.

1.1 Real Property, Building and Premises. Upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Lease, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the premises set forth in Section 6 of the Summary (the “Premises”), which Premises are a part of the retail area (the “Retail Area”) of that certain office building (the “Building”) located at 445 South Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, California 90071.

that as of the date of this Lease neither the Premises nor the Retail Area has undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist. Further, pursuant to Section 1938 of the California Civil Code, Landlord notifies Tenant of the following: “A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises.” Therefore and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant agree that (a) Tenant may, at its option and at its sole cost, cause a CASp to inspect the Premises and determine whether the Premises complies with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under California law, (b) the parties shall mutually coordinate and reasonably approve of the timing of any such CASp inspection so that Landlord may, at its option, have a representative present during such inspection, and (c) the cost of any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the Premises shall be performed by Landlord or Tenant, as determined by remaining provisions of this Lease and Work Letter, and, any and all such alterations and repairs to be performed by Tenant shall performed in accordance with Article 8 of this Lease; provided Tenant shall have no obligation to remove any repairs or alterations made pursuant to a CASp inspection under this Section 1.2.
1.3 Americans with Disabilities Act. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C §12101 et seq.) and regulations and guidelines promulgated thereunder, as all of the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time (collectively referred to herein as the "ADA”), establish requirements for business operations, accessibility, and barrier removal, and that such requirements may or may not apply to the Premises, Building, Retail Area or Real Property. The parties hereby agree that: (a) Tenant shall be responsible for ADA compliance as to the Premises (other than with respect to the Landlord Improvements (as defined in Exhibit B-1 attached hereto) including as to any Tenant Improvements installed in the Premises by Tenant under this Lease, if and to the extent required by applicable governmental authorities, and (b) Landlord shall be responsible for ADA compliance relative to (x) the Landlord Improvements, and (y) the Building, Retail Area Real Property and Common Areas, if and to the extent required by applicable governmental authorities, unless any ADA compliance repairs, modifications, or installations are required as a result of Tenant’s (i) specific and unique alterations to the Premises, (ii) particular manner of use of the Premises (as opposed to bank branch use generally), (iii) negligence, or (iv) willful misconduct.
1.4 ATM.

Tenant’s use of the ATM and the “ATM Facilities” (as herein defined) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
- 6 -


a. Subject to all required governmental approvals and Landlord’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Tenant shall have the right to install such additional equipment or features inside the ATM and related facility as Tenant shall deem appropriate, including without limitation, (i) a telephone or other support system for such equipment, (ii) trash receptacles, (iii) a branch computer terminal, with all supporting telecommunications equipment; (iv) a customer service phone; (v) a merchant depository; and/or (vi) such other equipment and accessories as are or become normally provided by Tenant in connection with the operation of the ATM (which ATM and such additional equipment and features are collectively referred to as the "ATM Facilities").
b. Tenant, at its cost, shall obtain all required governmental or quasi-governmental permits and approvals for Tenant’s installation of the ATM, and such installation shall be performed strictly in accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules or regulations of any governmental or quasi-governmental authority and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. All construction work by or on behalf of Tenant in connection with the installation of the ATM Facilities shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and shall be performed in a good workmanlike manner, and in such a manner as to not unreasonably interfere with the operation of business by any other occupant of the Retail Center and shall be diligently prosecuted to completion. In accordance with the provisions of the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit “B-2”, Tenant shall provide Landlord for Landlord’s prior written approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) with detailed, plans and specifications professionally prepared by a duly licensed architect or structural engineer regarding the ATM Facilities.
c. Tenant shall install at Tenant’s sole cost electric and/or telephone conduits or wires or connect to same and to such other facilities as are reasonably necessary or convenient to install and operate the ATM Facilities from locations designated by Landlord, and such installations shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant shall obtain separate telephone lines for the ATM Facilities and shall pay all telephone charges directly to the provider. Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to obtain any new utility service which may be required. Landlord agrees to cooperate at no cost to Landlord in good faith to facilitate Tenant's installation of the ATM Facilities.

d. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant’s right to install and operate the ATMs is conditioned upon compliance with the California Financial Code Section 13000 et seq. (i.e., the “ATM Lighting Law”). Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to perform any work or expend any money as may be necessary to comply with the ATM Lighting Law. Accordingly, in the event the ATM Lighting Law requires additional lighting or other installations, modifications, alterations or improvements to the Building (collectively, “ATM Compliance Work”), Landlord shall not be obligated to perform such ATM Compliance Work but shall permit Tenant to perform it. In the event Tenant elects for Landlord to perform any necessary ATM Compliance Work within the Building, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord (separate and apart from Operating Expenses) within thirty (30) days following written demand for all such
- 7 -


costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, together with a five percent (5%) supervision fee.
e. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damage, death or injury occurring on or about the Building as a result of or in connection with the use and operation of the ATM. As an inducement to Landlord, Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all damage, injury, claims, liabilities, suits, costs and expenses arising out of or in connection with the use and operation of the ATM and ATM Facilities, whether occurring in the Premises or in the Building, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall install and maintain a video surveillance system to monitor the actions of its customers and invitees with respect to the use of the ATM. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not be obligated to provide any security for the ATM, any security provided by Landlord will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, Tenant’s security, and no security provided by Landlord shall be deemed to alleviate or reduce Tenant’s required security.
1.5 Re-measurement of the Premises. Following completion of the portion of the Landlord Improvements required to be completed prior to delivering the Premises to Tenant, Landlord shall cause its architect to measure the rentable square feet in the Premises and certify (the “Certification”) to Landlord and Tenant the correct dimensions in accordance with the 2017 BOMA office standard. If Landlord’s measurements reveal a rentable area which is different from the rentable area provided for in Section 6 of the Summary of Basic Lease Information above, Tenant shall have the right to dispute Landlord’s measurement, by written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days following the date of the Certification, in which event either (a) Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree on the rentable area of the Premises, or (b) Landlord and Tenant shall agree to promptly have the space measured by an independent architect mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant in which event Landlord and Tenant agree to abide by such measurement. The cost of the architect mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant. Upon the determination of the actual rentable area of the Premises, the monthly Base Rent and all other charges payable by Tenant hereunder, Tenant’s Share, and the amount of the Allowance, shall be adjusted to reflect the rentable area of the Premises.
2. Lease Term. The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the date of this Lease except for the provisions of this Lease relating to the payment of Rent.

If Tenant disputes that an amount is due and owing by it pursuant to this Lease, Tenant shall have the right, without waiving any rights held by it at law or in equity, to pay any such amount under protest and thereafter to seek recovery of all or any part thereof from Landlord.

(ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 4.8 below, any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in addition to, or in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition of real property tax, it being acknowledged by Tenant and Landlord that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June 1978 election (“Proposition 13”) and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants (it is the intention of Tenant and Landlord that all such new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies, and charges and all similar assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges be included within the definition of Tax Expenses for purposes of this Lease);
(iii) any assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the rent payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any gross income tax with respect to the receipt of such rent, or upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof; and
(iv) any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge, upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party, creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.
4.2.7.2  If the method of taxation of real estate prevailing at the time of execution hereof shall be, or has been, altered so as to cause the whole or any part of the taxes now, hereafter or heretofore levied, assessed or imposed on real estate to be levied, assessed, or imposed upon Landlord, wholly or partially, as a capital levy or otherwise, or on or measured by the rents received therefrom, then such new or altered taxes attributable to the Real Property, including the Building Parking Area, shall be included within the term “Tax Expenses” except that the same shall not include any enhancement of said tax attributable to other income of Landlord. In no event shall Tax Expenses for any Expense Year be less than the component of Tax Expenses comprising a portion of the Base Year.
4.2.7.3  In the event that either Landlord or Tenant shall desire to contest in good faith the validity or amount of any Tax Expenses, then, at Landlord’s option, either (i) Landlord shall diligently pursue claims for reductions in the Tax Expenses, (ii) Tenant may pursue such claims with Landlord’s concurrence, in the name of Landlord, or (iii) Tenant may pursue such claims in the name of Landlord without Landlord’s concurrence. If either Landlord agrees to pursue such claims or concurs in the decision to pursue such claims but elects to have them pursued by Tenant, the cost of such proceedings shall be paid by Landlord and included in Tax Expenses in the Expense Year such expenses are paid. If Tenant pursues such claims without obtaining Landlord’s concurrence and such contest is successful, then to the extent of the cumulative tax savings achieved, Landlord shall pay to or reimburse Tenant the cost
- 17 -


of such proceedings, and include such cost in Tax Expenses in the year so paid or reimbursed by Landlord. No contest of Tax Expenses by either party shall involve the possibility of forfeiture, sale or disturbance of Landlord’s interest in the Building or Real Property, or Landlord’s or Tenant’s interest in the Premises, and all Tax Expenses shall be paid prior to such contest.
4.2.7.4  Tax refunds shall be deducted from Tax Expenses in the Expense Year they are received by Landlord.
4.2.7.5  There shall be excluded from Tax Expenses: (i) all excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal and state income taxes, and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlord’s general or net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Building or Real Property); (ii) any items included as Operating Expenses; and (iii) any items paid by Tenant under Section 4.4 below; and (iv) taxes attributable to leasehold improvements in excess of the “Cut-Off Point” (as defined below).
4.2.7.6  Subject to the right to contest the validity or amount of any Tax Expense as provided above, Landlord shall pay before delinquency and before any fine, penalty or interest is due thereon, every real estate tax, assessment, license fee, excise or other charge (however described) which is imposed, levied or assessed or charged by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority having jurisdiction and which is payable in respect of the Lease Term upon, or on account of, the Building or the Real Property
4.2.7.7  If the Tax Expenses component of the Base Year includes special assessments from a prior period and such special assessments terminate during the Lease Term, then from and after the date of such termination of the special assessment, the Tax Expenses included in the Base Year shall be deemed to be reduced by the amount of such special assessment so that Tenant pays its full Tenant’s Share of increases in the Tax Expenses during the Lease Term.
4.2.7.8  If Tax Expenses for any period during the Lease Term or any extension thereof are increased after payment thereof by Landlord for any reason, including, without limitation, error or reassessment by applicable governmental or municipal authorities, (A) to the extent of any Excess (as hereinafter defined), Tenant shall pay Landlord Tenant’s Share of such increased Tax Expenses, within thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of a notice from Landlord of such increase, including reasonably satisfactory evidence and explanation of such increase, along with the calculation of Tenant’s Share of such increase, and (B) if such increase is attributable to the Base Year, the Tax Expenses for such Base Year shall be increased to reflect the same.
4.2.8 Tenant’s Share” shall mean the percentage set forth in Section 9.2 of the Summary. Tenant’s Share was calculated by multiplying the number of square feet of rentable square feet of the Premises by 100 and dividing the product by the total rentable square feet of the Retail Area (i.e., 24,833 rentable square feet).

- 18 -


4.3 Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent.
4.3.1 Calculation of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses. If for any Expense Year after calendar year 2020 ending or commencing within the Lease Term, Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for such Expense Year exceeds Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for the Base Year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.3.2 below, and as Additional Rent, an amount equal to the excess (the “Excess”).
4.3.2 Statement of Actual Direct Expenses and Payment By Tenant. Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant on or before the first day of May following the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the “Statement”) which Statement shall be itemized on a line-by-line basis and shall state the Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, that are allocated to the Retail Area pursuant to Section 4.5 below, Tenant’s Share thereof, and any Excess. Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year ending during the Lease Term, if any Excess, Tenant shall pay, upon the later to occur of its next installment of Base Rent due or within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Statement, the full amount of Tenant’s Share of any Excess of Direct Expenses for such Expense Year so allocated to the Retail Area, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as Estimated Excess (as hereinafter defined). If the amount of Tenant’s Share of any Excess of Direct Expenses is less than the amount paid by the Tenant as Estimated Excess during the applicable period of the Expense Year (but, in each case, not including any period of the Expense Year which occurred after this Lease has terminated or expired), Landlord shall pay the difference (“Tenant Refund”) to Tenant together with the applicable Statement, even if this Lease has terminated or expired. In the event that Landlord shall fail to pay any Tenant Refund specified in a particular Statement concurrent with delivery of such Statement, Tenant shall be entitled to offset such Tenant Refund against the Rent next due under this Lease. In the event that Landlord shall fail to deliver the Statement on or before May 1 of a particular year, and when subsequently delivered the Statement reveals that a Tenant Refund is due, such Tenant Refund shall bear interest at the Interest Rate (as hereinafter defined) from such preceding April 1 until paid by Landlord, or if Landlord fails to pay such Tenant Refund concurrently with delivery of the Statement, until such time as such Tenant Refund is applied against Rent due under this Lease. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord 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 the Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, if an Excess is present, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Statement setting forth the Excess pay to Landlord an amount as calculated pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.3.1 above, less any amounts owed from Landlord to Tenant. The provisions of this Section 4.3.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.
4.3.3 Statement of Estimated Direct Expenses. In addition, Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant on or before the first day of April, a yearly expense estimate statement (the “Estimate Statement”) which Estimate Statement shall be itemized on a line-item by line-item basis and shall set forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate (the “Estimate”) of what the total amount of Direct Expenses allocated to the Retail Area for the then-current Expense Year shall be and Tenant’s Share of the Excess thereof (the “Estimated Excess”). Except as provided in Section  4.3.2 above, the failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement
- 19 -


for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Direct Expenses under this Article 4. If pursuant to the Estimate Statement an Estimated Excess is calculated for the current Expense Year, Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Estimate Statement, a fraction of the Estimated Excess for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.3.3). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year to the month of such payment, both months inclusive, and shall have twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished, Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Excess set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.
4.4 Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon written demand (together with reasonably satisfactory evidence and calculation of the applicable payment) for, or pay directly (if appropriate), for any and all taxes or assessments required to be paid by Landlord (except to the extent included in Tax Expenses by Landlord), excluding state, local and federal personal or corporate income taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources and estate and inheritance taxes, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto, when:
4.4.1 said taxes are measured by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises, or by the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant, to the extent the cost or value of such leasehold improvements exceeds the cost or value of a build-out as existing as of the Lease Commencement Date (together with the value of the Tenant Improvements to be constructed by Tenant) determined by Landlord regardless of whether title to such improvements shall be vested in Tenant or Landlord;
4.4.2 said taxes are 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 Real Property, Retail Area and/or the Building Parking Areas;
4.4.3 said taxes are assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises; or
4.4.4 Said taxes are measured by or reasonably attributable to (a) the cost or value of Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises, or (b) the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant, to the extent the cost or value of such leasehold improvements exceeds those existing as of the Lease Commencement Date (plus the value of the Tenant Improvements to be performed by Tenant).
4.5 Cost Pools. Landlord shall, from time to time, equitably allocate some or all of the Direct Expenses for the Building and Real Property among different portions or occupants of the Building and Real Property, including retail and office areas (the “Cost Pools”), in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. The Direct Expenses within each such Cost Pool shall be allocated and charged to the tenants within such Cost Pool in an equitable manner. In the event
- 20 -


the components of the Cost Pools change between the Base Year and any subsequent Expense Year, the Cost Pools included in Direct Expenses for the Base Year shall be modified to be consistent with the allocation in the Expense Year. Tenant’s payment of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expense is based on the Direct Expenses relating to the office areas of the Building and Real Property, and shall exclude any Direct Expenses exclusively relating to the retail areas.
4.6 Allocation of Direct Expenses. The parties acknowledge that the Retail Area is part of an office and retail project consisting of the Building and the Retail Area, and that certain of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Real Property (i.e., certain of the Direct Expenses) shall be shared among the Building and the Retail Area, while certain other costs and expenses which are solely attributable or exclusively pertaining to the Building and/or the Retail Area, as applicable, shall be allocated directly to the Building and/or the Retail Area, respectively. Accordingly, as set forth in Sections 4.1 through 4.5 above, Direct Expenses are determined annually for the Real Property as a whole, and a portion of the Direct Expenses, which portion shall be reasonably determined by Landlord on an equitable basis, shall be allocated to the Retail Area (as opposed to the Office Building), and such portion so allocated shall be the amount of Direct Expenses payable with respect to the Retail Area upon which Tenant’s Share shall be calculated. Such portion of the Direct Expenses allocated to the Retail Area and payable by Tenant hereunder shall include all Direct Expenses which are attributable solely to the Retail Area, and an equitable portion of the Direct Expenses attributable to the Real Property as a whole, net of the same costs attributable to the Retail Area. As an example of such allocation of Direct Expenses, with respect to repairs and capital improvements to be made to the Office Building or Retail Area, it is anticipated that the cost thereof shall be allocated directly to the Office Building or Retail Area, as applicable, and not included in Operating Expenses for the Real Property as a whole or allocated to the Office Building or Retail Area, as applicable. In addition, in the event that prior to execution of this Lease or at any time thereafter Landlord has elected or subsequently elects, at its sole option, to subdivide into a separate parcel or parcels of land certain portions of the Real Property, including portions on which the Office Building and/or Retail Area are now or hereafter located and/or certain Common Areas of the Real Property and/or has separately conveyed or subsequently separately conveys all or any of such parcels to another person or entity (including to any common area association to own, operate and/or maintain same), the Direct Expenses for such separate parcels of land shall be aggregated (subject to the limitations contained in the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.5) and then reasonably allocated by Landlord to the Office Building and Retail Area on a reasonable and equitable basis as Landlord (and/or any applicable covenants, conditions and restrictions for any such common area association) shall provide from time to time.
4.7 Landlord’s Books and Records. If Tenant disputes the amount of Additional Rent set forth in a Statement, then upon reasonable notice to Landlord and at reasonable times, Tenant and/or its authorized representative shall have the right within one (1) year after receipt of such Statement (“Review Period”), to inspect Landlord’s records, at Landlord’s offices in Los Angeles County, provided that Tenant is not then in default following written notice and the expiration of any applicable cure periods, under Section 19 of this Lease; provided, that Tenant and its authorized representative shall, and each of them shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause their respective agents and employees to, maintain all information contained in Landlord’s records in strict confidence. The inspection rights described above shall be performed only by Tenant, Tenant’s employees, or an authorized representative of
- 21 -


Tenant who is an independent certified public accountant (which is not paid on a commission or contingency basis). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may use a commercial real estate brokerage or real estate firm whose primary business is not auditing operating expenses as its representative as long as Tenant does not engage such representative on a commission or contingent fee basis. If after such inspection, Tenant still disputes the amount of Additional Rent set forth in the applicable Statement, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of such dispute (“Dispute Notice”) and Landlord and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute. In the event that within thirty (30) days following the date of the Dispute Notice Landlord and Tenant are unable to resolve the dispute, such dispute shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the provisions below:
4.7.1 Within twenty (20) days of the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be an independent certified public accountant who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending an the date of such appointment in the determination of Direct Expenses for commercial high-rise properties in Los Angeles County.
4.7.2 The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall within ten (10) business days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same criteria as set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two (2) arbitrators.
4.7.3 The three (3) arbitrators shall within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator reach a decision as to the actual Direct Expenses for the period set forth in the applicable Statement.
4.7.4 The decision of the majority of the three (3) arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.
4.7.5 If the two (2) arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator, then the appointment of the arbitrators shall be dismissed and the matter shall be submitted to arbitration under the provisions of the American Arbitration Association.
The cost of Tenant’s inspection of Landlord’s records and the cost of any arbitration proceeding hereunder shall be Tenant’s responsibility; provided that in the event that Landlord and Tenant agree or the arbitrators determine that the Direct Expenses set forth in the Statement were overstated by more than three percent (3%), then the cost of Tenant’s inspection of Landlord’s records and the cost of any resulting arbitration proceeding shall be paid for by Landlord; and provided thither, that if Landlord and Tenant agree or the arbitrators determine that the Direct Expenses set forth in the Statement were understated, then the cost of Tenant’s inspection of Landlord’s records and the cost of any resulting arbitration proceeding shall be paid for by Landlord to the extent Landlord is entitled to and does actually recover such additional Direct Expenses from other tenants in the Building. Landlord shall act in good faith and with reasonable diligence to attempt to recover such additional Direct Expenses from the other tenants in the Building. Promptly following any such agreement by the parties or arbitration decision, as the case may be, the parties shall make such appropriate payments or reimbursements, as the case may be, to each other, as are determined to be owing pursuant to such agreement or arbitration
- 22 -


decision, as the case may be, together with interest at the rate that is the lesser of (i) the “Prime Rate” published from time to time by the Wall Street Journal (or such reasonable comparable national business publication as is selected by Landlord in the event the Wall Street Journal ceases to publish a Prime Rate), plus two percent (2.0%), or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law (the “Interest Rate”), from the date due until paid, in the case of payments by Tenant to Landlord, or from the date paid until reimbursed, in the case of reimbursements by Landlord to Tenant, and if Landlord fails to make required reimbursements, Tenant may offset such amounts against the Rent next due hereunder. Landlord shall be required to maintain records of all Direct Expenses set forth in each Statement delivered to Tenant for the entirety of the two (2) year period following Landlord’s delivery of the applicable Statement. The payment by Tenant of any amounts pursuant to this Article 4 shall not preclude Tenant from questioning the correctness of any Statement delivered by Landlord, provided that the failure of Tenant to object thereto prior to the expiration of the Review Period shall be conclusively deemed Tenant’s approval of the applicable Statement. The provisions of this Section 4.6 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.
4.8 Controllable Expenses; Base Year Adjustment.
4.8.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant’s Share of “Controllable Expenses” (as defined below) shall not increase by an average of more than five percent (5%) of such controllable expenses per calendar year on a cumulative, compounded basis. As used herein, the term “Controllable Expenses” means all Direct Expenses other than (i) utilities, (ii) Tax Expenses, (iii) insurance costs, (iv) union wages, (v) costs levied, assessed or imposed by, or at the direction of, or resulting from statutes or regulations or interpretations thereof promulgated by, any federal, state, regional, municipal or local governmental authority following the Lease Commencement Date in connection with the use or occupancy of the Building, Building Parking Areas, Retail Area or the Real Property, and (vi) all fees fixed under contracts in existence on the date hereof.
4.8.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, and during the Term, Operating Expenses during the Base Year shall be adjusted as follows: (a) if Landlord incurs expenses for services which were not provided or for a category of liability that did not exist in the Base Year, Operating Expenses for the Base Year shall be considered to be increased by the amounts that Landlord would have incurred during the Base Year with respect to such expenses had these new services or category of liability been included in Operating Expenses during the entire Base Year; (b) if Landlord does not incur expenses for services which were provided or for a category of liability that existed in the Base Year, Operating Expenses for the Base Year shall be considered to be reduced by the amounts that Landlord would have incurred during the Base Year with respect to such expenses had these discontinued services or category of liability not been included in Operating Expenses during the entire Base Year; (c) if any portion of the Real Property is covered by a warranty at any time, during the Base Year or any subsequent calendar year, Operating Expenses for the Base Year or such subsequent calendar year, as applicable, shall be considered to be increased by the amount that Landlord would have incurred during the Base Year or such subsequent calendar year, as applicable, with respect to the items or matters covered by the warranty had the warranty not been in effect during the Base Year or such subsequent calendar year; (d) any additional annual premium resulting from any new forms of insurance, any increase in insurance limits or coverage, or any decrease in deductibles in any
- 23 -


year after the Base Year shall be considered to be included in Operating Expenses for the Base Year; and (e) any decrease in annual premium resulting from Landlord’s discontinuance of forms of insurance, any decrease in insurance limits or coverage, or any increase in deductibles in any year after the Base Year shall be considered to be excluded in Operating Expenses for the Base Year. Landlord shall not take any action or fail to act for the purpose of artificially decreasing the Operating Expenses that are otherwise properly attributable to the Base Year. Landlord shall not intentionally delay repairs, replacements, expenditures or the performance of other obligations so as to avoid the inclusion of such matters in the Base Year. Should the management fee be calculated differently in any subsequent year from how calculated in the Base Year, the Operating Expenses during the Base Year shall be adjusted to reflect what the management fee would have equaled had it been calculated in the same manner as calculated in the subsequent year.
4.9 Prop 13 Protection. In the event that, at any time following the execution of this Lease, and during the Lease Term (but not during any Option Terms), any sale, refinancing, or change in ownership of the Real Property is consummated, or any "new construction" in connection with future development of buildings or improvements at the Real Property is completed, and as a result thereof, and to the extent that in connection therewith, the Real Property is reassessed (the "Reassessment") for real estate tax purposes by the appropriate governmental authority pursuant to the terms of Proposition 13 or any similar legislation, then Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Tenant’s Share of the portion of the “Tax Increase” (as defined below) during the periods shown in the table below applicable to the first Reassessment occurring following the Effective Date, except to the extent any such Tax Increase (or any portion thereof) is included in both the Base Year and the subsequent Expense Years; provided, however, Tenant shall be obligated to pay one hundred percent (100%) of Tenant’s Share of any subsequent Tax Increase in incurred in connection with any subsequent Reassessments occurring due to a sale, refinancing, or change in ownership of the Real Property after the first Reassessment that occurs following the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Landlord Improvements or the Tenant Improvements triggers a Reassessment, Tenant shall not receive the protection provided herein due to the same, and the receipt of such protection should not be considered the “first Reassessment, but the Tax Expenses during the Base Year shall be deemed to include all Tax Expenses which would have been assessed during the Base Year had the Landlord Improvements and Tenant Improvements been completed and the Real Property assessed in full for the entire Base Year.
The term “Tax Increase” shall mean that portion of the Tax Expenses, as calculated following the Reassessment, which is attributable solely to the Reassessment. Accordingly, the term Tax Increase shall not include any portion of the Tax Expenses, as calculated following the Reassessment, which are attributable to (A) the initial assessment of the value of the Real Property, including the base building, shell and core of the Building, Retail Area and the tenant improvements located in the Building and Retail Area, (B) assessments which were pending immediately prior to the Reassessment which assessments were conducted during, and included in, such Reassessment, or which assessments were otherwise rendered unnecessary following the Reassessment, or (C) the statutory two percent (2%) annual inflationary increase in real estate taxes (as such statutory increase may be modified by subsequent legislation). The amount of Tax Expenses which Tenant is not obligated to pay or will not be obligated to pay in connection with a particular Reassessment pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall be sometimes
- 24 -


referred to hereafter as a “Tax Reassessment Protection Amount.” During the portion of the Lease Term shown below, Tenant shall receive only the percentage of Tax Reassessment Protection Amount shown in the following schedule:

Period Tax Reassessment Protection Amount
1/1/2020 - 12/31/2024 50%   
1/1/2025 - 12/31/2029 25%   
1/1/2030 - 12/31/2034 12.5%   
For example, if Landlord sells the Real Property to a third party on January 1, 2023, resulting in a Reassessment, then Tenant shall only be required to pay fifty percent (50%) of Tenant’s Share of the Tax Increase for the period from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024, seventy-five percent (75%) of Tenant’s Share of the Tax Increase for the period from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2029, eighty-seven and one-half percent (87.5%) of Tenant’s Share of the Tax Increase for the period from January 1, 2030 through December 31, 2034, and one hundred percent (100%) of Tenant’s Share of the Tax Increase thereafter. By way of further example, if such third party sells the Real Property to an unrelated third party on January 1, 2028, Tenant’s requirement to pay Tenant’s Share of the Tax Increase attributable to the first Reassessment shall be treated as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, and Tenant shall be required to pay one hundred percent (100%) of Tenant’s Share of the Tax Increase attributable to such second Reassessment.
If the occurrence of a Reassessment is reasonably foreseeable by Landlord and the Tax Reassessment Protection Amount attributable to such Reassessment can be reasonably quantified or estimated for particular Lease Years remaining in the Lease Term commencing with the Lease Year in which the Reassessment will occur, the remaining terms of this Section set forth below shall apply to such Reassessment. Upon notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to purchase the Tax Reassessment Protection Amount relating to the applicable Reassessment as it applies to one or more of the remaining Lease Years in the Lease Term by paying to Tenant an amount equal to the "Tax Reassessment Purchase Price" (as defined below) for each such particular Lease Year; provided that the right of any successor of Landlord to exercise its right of repurchase hereunder shall not apply to any Reassessment which results from the event pursuant to which such successor of Landlord became the Landlord under this Lease. As used herein, “Tax Reassessment Purchase Price” for each particular Lease Year shall mean the present value of the Tax Reassessment Protection Amount for such particular Lease Year, as of the date of payment of the Tax Reassessment Purchase Price by Landlord. Such present value shall be calculated (1) by using the portion of the Tax Reassessment Protection Amount attributable to such Lease Year (as though the portion of such Tax Reassessment Protection Amount benefited Tenant in equal monthly installments throughout such Lease Year) as the amount to be discounted and (2) by using seven percent (7.0%) as a discount factor. Upon such payment of the Tax Reassessment Purchase Price with respect to any particular Lease Year, Tenant shall thereupon not be relieved of its obligation to pay any Tax Increase for such particular Lease Year attributable to the applicable Reassessment. Since Landlord is estimating the Tax Reassessment Purchase Price because a Reassessment has not yet occurred, then when such Reassessment occurs, if Landlord has underestimated the Tax Reassessment Purchase Price with respect to any particular Lease Year, then upon notice by Landlord to Tenant, Tenant's Rent next due shall be
- 25 -


credited with the amount of such underestimation, and if Landlord overestimates the Tax Reassessment Purchase Price with respect to any particular Lease Year, then upon not less than thirty (30) days’ notice by Landlord to Tenant, the Rent next due shall be increased by the amount of the overestimation. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Lease, the provisions of this Section shall be applicable only during the initial Lease Term and only to the initial Premises and shall not be applicable during any Option Terms nor be applicable to any expansion space.
5. Use of Premises.
5.1 Permitted Use. During the entire Lease Term, Tenant shall use the Premises under the trade name specified in Section 14 of the Summary (“Trade Name”) for the permitted use set forth in Section 15 of the Summary (the “Permitted Use”) in accordance with and subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in this Article 5. Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose or purposes whatsoever.
5.2 Continued Use. Tenant shall continuously and uninterruptedly operate the Premises for the Permitted Use during the minimum hours of 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, national holidays excepted (the "Required Hours"); provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to operate the Premises before or after the Required Hours without obtaining Landlord's prior consent. Tenant's failure to continuously uninterruptedly operate the Premises for the Permitted Use in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2 shall not be a breach or default by Tenant under this Lease; provided, however, that if Tenant shall fail to continuously uninterruptedly operate the Premises for the Permitted Use in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2, including as a result of any vacation or abandonment of the Premises, and if such failure shall continue for a period of one (1) year or longer (except to the extent due to a casualty or condemnation), then, as Landlord's sole and exclusive remedy, Landlord may, at its election, terminate this Lease with respect to Premises, which termination shall be effective upon the date which is thirty (30) days after Landlord delivers written notice of termination to Tenant, unless with such thirty (30) day period, Tenant delivers notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intention to operate from the Premises, and thereafter, within a reasonable period of time, commences such operations.
5.3 Prohibited Uses. Tenant further covenants and agrees that it shall not use, or suffer or permit any person or persons to use, the Premises or any part thereof for any use or purpose contrary to the provisions of Exhibit D, attached hereto, or in violation of the laws of the United States of America, the State of California, or the ordinances, regulations or requirements of the local municipal or county governing body or other lawful authorities having jurisdiction over the Building; provided however that Landlord agrees that the Rules and Regulations shall not be (i) modified or enforced in any way by Landlord so as to interfere with the Permitted Use, or (ii) discriminatorily modified or enforced against Tenant, or (iii) modified in a way that materially and adversely conflicts with the terms and conditions of this Lease. Landlord agrees that nothing in the Rules and Regulations of the Building shall be used to prohibit or unreasonably interfere with the conduct of any business from the Premises which Tenant is permitted to conduct. In the event any other tenant or occupant of the Building fails to comply with the Rules and Regulations, and such non-compliance unreasonably and materially
- 26 -


interferes with Tenant’s use of the Premises, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to cause such other tenants and/or occupants to comply with the Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall comply with all recorded covenants, conditions, and restrictions, and the provisions of all ground or underlying leases, now or hereafter (provided Tenant consents to the same, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) affecting the Real Property which have been provided by Landlord to Tenant in writing, and shall not at any time use or occupy or allow any person to use or occupy the Premises or the Building or do or permit anything to be done or kept in the Premises or the Building in any manner which: (i) violates any certificate of occupancy in force for the Premises or the Building; (ii) causes or is likely to cause damage to the Real Property, the Building, the Premises or any equipment, facilities or other systems therein; (iii) other than conducting normal banking operations from its Premises, results in repeated demonstrations, bomb threats or other events which require evacuation of the Building or otherwise disrupt the use, occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Building by other tenants and occupants; or (iv) materially interferes with the transmission or reception of microwave, television, radio or other communications signals by antennae located on the roof of the Building or elsewhere in the Building. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall comply with all laws, rules, orders, ordinances, directions, regulations, and requirements of federal, state, county and municipal authorities, now in force or which may hereafter be in force, which shall impose any duty or requirement relating to the use, occupation or alteration of the Premises.
5.4 Hazardous Materials. Except for the use of general office supplies within the Premises which are of a kind typically used in normal office areas in the ordinary course of business (such as, for example, copier toner, liquid paper, glue, ink, photocopy supplies, secretarial supplies and limited janitorial supplies, and cleaning solvents), for use in the manner for which they were designed and only in accordance with all applicable governmental regulations pertaining to Hazardous Materials (as defined in Section 29.31 below) and the customary standards prevailing in the industry for such use, and then only in such amounts as may be normal for the office business operations conducted by Tenant on the Premises, Tenant shall not cause or permit the use, handling, storage or disposal of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Premises by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, or licensees (collectively, “Tenant Parties”) or Tenant’s invitees, or in, on, under or about the remaining portions of the Real Property by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents, representatives or contractors. Tenant shall promptly take all actions, at its sole cost and expense, as are necessary to return the Premises and the Real Property to the condition existing prior to the introduction of any such Hazardous Materials by Tenant or the applicable parties specified above, provided Landlord’s approval of such actions shall first be obtained, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant shall be solely responsible for and shall indemnify, protect, defend (at Tenant’s expense with counsel reasonably approved by Landlord) and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, suits, causes of action, damages, penalties, fines, liabilities, losses and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable investigation and clean-up costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, reasonable consultant fees and court costs) which arise during or after the Term of this Lease as a result of the breach of any of the obligations and covenants set forth in this Section 5.3 by Tenant or any Tenant Parties, and/or any contamination of the Premises, directly or indirectly, arising from activities of Tenant or Tenant Parties, and/or any contamination of the remaining portions of the Real Property, directly or indirectly arising from the activities of Tenant or its employees, agents, representatives or contractors. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall have no liability to Landlord for any Hazardous Materials that exist in or outside the Premises as of the Lease Commencement Date or which thereafter were placed in the Premises
- 27 -


or found to be in or outside the Premises (collectively, the “Excluded Hazardous Materials”) to the extent not (i) introduced, disposed of, or otherwise caused by Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties or (ii) in any tenant improvements, alterations, fixtures, equipment or personal property installed by or for Tenant (other than by Landlord) in the Premises, Building or Real Property. Landlord shall be obligated to remediate, at its sole cost and expense, all Excluded Hazardous Materials, including without limitation, ACM (as hereinafter defined), present in violation of any applicable law, if and to the extent required by applicable governmental authorities (e.g., encapsulated ACM that is present in the Real Property that is not currently required to be removed from the Real Property by applicable governmental authorities shall not be required to be removed or otherwise abated by Landlord in accordance with this sentence unless and until applicable governmental authorities require Landlord to do so or as required below). Landlord shall be responsible for the cost and performance of any governmental required remediation triggered due to Alterations in the Premises by Tenant or Landlord. However, Tenant shall be responsible for the costs of removing its improvements, alterations, fixtures, equipment or personal property from any areas that require remediation in accordance with this Paragraph due to alterations performed by Tenant.
6. Services and Utilities.
6.1 Standard Tenant Services. Landlord shall provide the following services as part of the Operating Expenses on all days during the Lease Term, unless otherwise stated below.
6.1.1 Subject to all applicable Laws, Landlord shall provide HVAC when necessary for normal comfort for normal office use in the Premises, in a temperature range of 70°F to 76°F, with relative humidity within the guidelines established by the American Society of Heating and Air Conditioning Engineers (“ASHRAE”), from Monday through Friday, during the period from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., except for the date of observation of New Year’s Day, Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and other nationally recognized holidays (collectively, the “Holidays”).
6.1.2 Landlord shall provide adequate electrical wiring and power for normal general office use twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, consistent with the Consumption Standard set forth in Section 6.2 below. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall perform replacement of lamps, and starters for lighting fixtures within the Premises; provided, however, Landlord shall perform replacement of ballasts and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such cost within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of an invoice therefor.
6.1.3 Landlord (or Landlord’s property manager) shall provide city water from the regular Building connections and any other connections the Tenant is making use of in the Premises as of the date of this Lease and Landlord has heretofor approved, for drinking, lavatory and toilet purposes. Subject to the terms of Article 8 of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to add to or access the water systems for the Building and/or provide supplemental water systems in order to service the Premises.
6.1.4 At Tenant’s option, Landlord shall provide janitorial services in a quantity and manner consistent with Comparable Buildings, five (5) days per week, except the date of observation of the Holidays, in and about the Premises, in accordance with the janitorial
- 28 -


specifications attached hereto as Exhibit “H”, and exterior window washing for the Building three (3) times per year. Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall require a Background Check (defined below) reasonably acceptable Tenant of any janitorial personnel that Landlord causes to enter the Premises to provide janitorial services under the Lease.  As used herein, “Background Check” means a background check that (i) does not require the provision of any  identifying information other than (a) photo identification or other reasonable evidence of the person’s name, (b) the name of the person’s employer, (c) fingerprints, and (d) such other information as Tenant may be required to obtain by FDIC regulations or other applicable law; and (ii) does not preclude entry for any reason other than discovery that the person (a) has been convicted of a felony involving dishonesty or breach of trust, or (b) is a party identified on any list compiled pursuant to Executive Order 13224 for the purpose of identifying suspected terrorists or on the most current list published by the U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control at its official website, http://www.treas.gov/ofac/tllsdn.pdf or any replacement website or other replacement official publication of such list, except as required by FDIC regulations or other applicable law. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of providing such Background Checks within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of an invoice therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord’s janitorial contractor does not have available personnel that have completed a Landlord requested Background Check (e.g., if one (1) or more janitorial contractor personnel that have completed a Background Check call out sick or are otherwise unavailable), Landlord shall not be in default of this paragraph and Tenant may receive diminished or no janitorial service until such time as personnel that have completed Background Checks are available. Tenant shall have the right, upon at least sixty (60) days’ notice to Landlord at any time during the Lease Term or any Option Term, to provide its own janitorial service to the Premises by independently contracting with a janitorial service provider approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord. Such janitorial service provider shall in all events utilize “green” cleaning procedures comparable to those used by Landlord or its janitorial service provider and maintain harmonious labor relations with other contractors and service providers working in, on or about the Real Property. If Tenant elects, at any time, and from time to time, to provide its own janitorial service to the Premises during the Lease Term or any Option Term, the Base Rent payable by Tenant from and after the date on which Tenant commences providing its own janitorial service shall each be reduced by an amount equal to the actual savings realized by Landlord through the termination of the janitorial service to the Premises. Within sixty (60) days after Tenant commences providing its own janitorial service, Landlord shall reasonably calculate the actual savings realized by Landlord as a result of Tenant providing its own janitorial service. Landlord shall notify Tenant of such calculation as soon as possible after Tenant commences providing its own janitorial services. Tenant shall have the right to review Landlord’s calculation and supporting documents of such savings in janitorial costs. Tenant shall have the right, on sixty (60) days’ notice to Landlord, to discontinue providing its own janitorial, and to have Landlord once again provide such service as provided herein. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that as of the execution of this Lease, Tenant is currently providing its own janitorial under the Office Lease, and Landlord hereby approves the provider of the same to provide service in the Premises.
6.1.5 Landlord shall provide twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, reasonable security and supervision of the Building and common areas, in a manner consistent with Comparable Buildings. Tenant shall have the right to install its own security system, subject to the terms of Article 8 of this Lease or the Tenant Work Letter, as the
- 29 -


case may be, and/or have its own security personnel in the Premises, provided that the same does not interfere with the operation of the Retail Area security system.
6.1.6 Landlord shall furnish to Tenant’s employees and agents access to the Building, the Premises and the Building Parking Area on a seven (7) day per week, twenty-four (24) hour per day basis, subject to compliance with such reasonable security measures as shall from time to time be in effect for the Building and/or the Building Parking Area, Landlord maintenance activities and subject to the Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit “D” and such other reasonable, non-discriminatory rules and regulations from time to time established by Landlord.
6.2 Interruption of Use. Except as otherwise provided herein, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for damages, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service (including telephone and telecommunication services), or for any diminution in the quality or quantity thereof, when such failure or delay or diminution is occasioned, in whole or in part, by repairs, replacements, or improvements, by any strike, lockout or other labor trouble, by inability to secure electricity, gas, water, or other fuel at the Building or Real Property after reasonable effort to do so, by any accident or casualty whatsoever, by act or default of Tenant or other parties, or by any other cause; and except as provided herein, such failures or delays or diminution shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease. Furthermore, except as provided herein, 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.
6.3 Additional Services or Utilities. If requested by Tenant, Landlord shall also have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to cause to be provided any additional services or utilities which may be required by Tenant, including, without limitation, locksmithing, additional janitorial service, and additional repairs and maintenance, provided that Tenant is provided an estimate of the cost prior to it being incurred. Tenant shall pay to Landlord (or Landlord’s property manager) within thirty (30) days after billing, the sum of all costs to Landlord of such additional services including an administrative fee (not to exceed five percent [5%] of such costs). Charges for any services or utilities for which Tenant is required to pay from time to time hereunder, shall be billed on a monthly basis. If Tenant fails to make payment for any such services or utilities, and such failure continues for ten (10) business days following written notice to Tenant, Landlord may, following written notice to Tenant, cause to be discontinued any or all of such services and utilities and such discontinuance shall not be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its other obligations under this Lease.

- 30 -


6.4 Supplemental HVAC. Tenant may elect to install one or more additional HVAC systems inside, and/or outside of the Premises, including without limitation, wall units (1 ton) within Tenant’s IT/IDF room and ATM room, and in other locations reasonably approved by Landlord (each, a “Tenant HVAC System”), unless the Building structure, the Building systems, and/or the exterior appearance of the Building will be materially and adversely affected, in which event Landlord’s approval may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Tenant’s installation of the Tenant HVAC System shall comply with and be governed by the terms of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that such Tenant HVAC System installation will constitute an over-standard electrical use, and that in such event Tenant will be required to install, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, a device to separately meter such increased electrical use, and Tenant shall pay the increased cost directly to Landlord (or Landlord’s property manager), within thirty (30) days after demand including an administrative fee (not to exceed five percent [5%] of such cost). If Tenant elects to terminate the Lease under Rider No. 4 attached hereto, or if Landlord terminates the Lease due to a Tenant Event of Default, then, at Landlord’s election delivered to Tenant in writing not later than ninety (90) days prior to the Termination Date (as defined in Rider No. 4) (or as soon as practicable following an Event of Default), Tenant shall remove the Tenant HVAC System prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and repair all damage to the Building resulting from such removal, normal wear and tear excepted, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. If Landlord does not elect in writing (as provided above) for the Tenant to remove the Tenant HVAC System, the Tenant shall leave the Tenant HVAC System, in the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, in its then existing “as is” condition, and Tenant shall thereafter have no further rights with respect thereto. Tenant shall be solely responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for the monitoring, operation, repair, replacement, and, if applicable, removal of the Tenant HVAC System, and in no event shall the Tenant HVAC System interfere with Landlord’s operation of the Building.
7. Repairs.
7.1 Duties to Repair. Landlord shall maintain and repair in a condition comparable to that maintained by landlords of Comparable Buildings, and in compliance with all laws, any and all structural portions of the Premises, all restrooms located in the Premises (excluding executive washrooms, if any), and the Systems and Equipment; provided, however, Tenant shall be directly responsible for all maintenance and repair costs incurred by Landlord respecting Systems and Equipment located in the Premises, except for (all of which shall be Landlord’s responsibility to maintain and repair) (i) the HVAC system and all components, and the sprinkler systems, and without limitation, the pipes and other equipment connecting such interior main loops within the Premises to the Building’s base building HVAC and sprinkler systems located outside the Premises (collectively, the “Premises Base Building HVAC/Sprinkler Equipment”), (ii) repairs to Systems and Equipment in the Premises to the extent the condition necessitating such repair results from breakdowns or malfunctions of Systems and Equipment located outside the Premises and/or the Premises Base Building HVAC/Sprinkler Equipment, or (iii) repair or maintenance, which may be included in Direct Expenses, to base building mechanical, electrical, life safety, plumbing, sprinkler systems and HVAC systems located in the Premises and which do not exclusively service the Premises. Landlord shall also maintain and repair the common areas in and outside of the Premises, including all walkways, escalators and landscaping, in a condition comparable to that maintained
- 31 -


by landlords of Comparable Buildings. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense, keep the non-structural portions of the Premises, including all improvements, fixtures and furnishings therein, in good order, repair and condition at all times during the Lease Term. Without in any way limiting Tenant’s obligations under this Article 7, Tenant’s repair and maintenance obligation shall include the obligation to repair and maintain all utility meters, if any, all fixtures and other equipment in the Premises, the store or store fronts of the Premises, all of Tenant’s signs, locks and closing devices, and all window sashes, casements or frames, doors and door frames. Tenant also agrees to (i) keep the inside and outside of all glass in the doors and windows of the Premises clean; (ii) keep all exterior store front surfaces of the Premises clean; and (iii) replace promptly, at its expense, any broken door closures and any cracked or broken glass in the Premises. In addition, except as provided as part of Landlord’s repair obligations set forth above or Landlord’s repair obligation in the event of a casualty or condemnation, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense but under the supervision and subject to the prior approval of Landlord (to the extent required under Section 8.1), and within any reasonable period of time specified by Landlord, promptly and adequately repair all damage to the Premises and replace or repair all damaged or broken fixtures and appurtenances; provided however, that, if Tenant fails to make such repairs, Landlord may, but need not, make such repairs and replacements, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof, including a reasonable percentage of the cost thereof (to be uniformly established for the Building and consistent with similar charges imposed by the landlords of Comparable Buildings) sufficient to reimburse Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other reasonable and actual costs or expenses arising from Landlord’s involvement with such repairs and replacements forthwith upon being billed for same (including receipt of reasonably satisfactory evidence of such costs). Landlord may, but shall not be required to, enter the Premises at all reasonable times and upon reasonable (no less than one (1) business days) prior notice to Tenant (except in the event of emergency) to make such repairs, alterations, improvements and additions to the Premises or to the Building or to any equipment located in the Building as Landlord shall deem reasonably necessary or as Landlord may be required to do by governmental or quasi-governmental authority or court order or decree, and if requested by Tenant, Landlord shall perform such work after Tenant’s normal business hours (except in the event of emergency) to the extent reasonably practicable if the performance of such work will unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s normal business operations. Tenant hereby waives and releases its right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense under Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code or under any similar law, statute, or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
7.2 Tenant’s Right to Make Repairs. If Tenant provides notice to Landlord of an event or circumstance which requires the action of Landlord with respect to the provision of utilities and/or services and/or repairs and/or maintenance as set forth in Sections 6.1 and 7.1 of this Lease, above, and Landlord fails to provide such action as required by the terms of this Lease, then Tenant may proceed to take the required action upon delivery of an additional five (5) business days notice to Landlord specifying that Tenant is taking such required action, and if such action was required under the terms of this Lease to be taken by Landlord, then Tenant shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement by Landlord of Tenant’s reasonable costs and expenses in taking such action plus interest at the Interest Rate, during the period from the date Tenant incurs such costs and expenses until such time as payment is made by Landlord. In the event Tenant takes such action, and such work will affect the Systems and Equipment, structural integrity of the Building or exterior appearance of the Building, Tenant shall use only those contractors used by Landlord in the Building for such work unless such contractors are unwilling or unable to perform such work, in which event Tenant may utilize the services of any other qualified
- 32 -


contractor which normally and regularly performs similar work in Comparable Buildings. Landlord agrees that Tenant will have access to the Building, the Systems and Equipment, the Building structure and Real Property to the extent necessary to perform the work contemplated by this provision. Further, if Landlord does not deliver a detailed written objection to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice by Tenant of its costs of taking action which Tenant claims should have been taken by Landlord, and if such invoice from Tenant sets forth a reasonably particularized breakdown of its costs and expenses in connection with taking such action on behalf of Landlord, then Tenant shall be entitled to deduct from Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease, the amount set forth in such invoice together with interest at the Interest Rate. If, however, Landlord in good faith delivers to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s invoice, a written objection to the payment of such invoice, setting forth with reasonable particularity Landlord’s reasons for its claim that such action did not have to be taken by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease or that the charges are excessive (in which case Landlord shall pay the amount it contends would not have been excessive), then Tenant shall not be entitled to such deduction from Rent, but as Tenant’s sole remedy, Tenant may proceed to have such dispute settled pursuant to the proceedings described in Section 29.23 below, and if Tenant obtains a judgment in its favor in such proceedings, Tenant shall have the right to deduct the amount of such judgment and attorneys’ fees awarded in such proceedings from the Rent next due and owing by Tenant under this Lease if such amount and attorneys’ fees are not paid within thirty (30) days after such judgment is issued.
8. Additions and Alterations.
8.1 Landlord’s Consent to Alterations. Except for Cosmetic Alterations (as defined below), Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations”) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations. Such consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than ten (10) business days prior to the commencement thereof, and Landlord shall not withhold, condition or delay its consent for any Alterations except with respect to Alterations which (i) do not comply with applicable laws, (ii) materially and adversely affect the Systems and Equipment or the structural aspects of the Building or Retail Area, (iii) can be seen from outside the Premises, (iv) unreasonably interfere with another tenant’s use of such tenant’s premises for normal business office purposes, and/or (v) do not use materials that are equal to or better than Building standard materials (each, a “Design Problem”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Alterations installed after the Lease Commencement Date that (A) create a Design Problem described in clause (iii) hereinabove and (B) are other than walls not aligned with existing columns or mullions, Landlord shall act reasonably and in good faith based upon standards generally employed by Comparable Landlords (as defined below) for comparable retail projects. Further notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may make strictly cosmetic, non-structural alterations, additions or improvements to the interior of the Premises (collectively, the “Cosmetic Alterations”) without Landlord’s consent or payment of any supervision fee, provided that: (a) Tenant delivers to Landlord written notice of such Cosmetic Alterations at least ten (10) days prior to the commencement thereof; (b) such Cosmetic Alterations shall be performed by or on behalf of Tenant in compliance with the other provisions of this Article 8; (c) such Cosmetic Alterations do not require the issuance of a building permit or other governmental
- 33 -


approval; (d) such Cosmetic Alterations would not result in a Design Problem; (e) such Cosmetic Alterations do not exceed $75,000 per project. Any time Tenant proposes to make Alterations other than Cosmetic Alterations, Tenant’s notice regarding the proposed Alterations shall be provided together with the plans and specifications for the Alterations, and Landlord shall approve or disapprove of the same within ten (10) business days after its receipt of the same in accordance with the standard for consent set forth hereinabove. In the event that Landlord shall fail to notify Tenant in writing of its approval or disapproval of a proposed Alteration within such ten (10) business day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved such Alteration. In the event that Landlord shall disapprove of a proposed Alteration because the same contains a Design Problem, Landlord shall notify Tenant of ifs the specific Design Problem which is the reason for such disapproval and Tenant shall have the right to resubmit for Landlord’s approval modified plans and specifications to address Landlord’s reasons for disapproval to eliminate such Design Problem. The construction of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8.
8.2 Manner of Construction. Any time Tenant proposes to make an Alteration which requires the consent of Landlord, Landlord may impose commercially reasonable requirements, including, but not limited to, the requirement that upon Landlord’s request made at the time such consent is granted, Tenant shall, utilize for such purposes only contractors (with Swinerton, BCCI Construction (provided that BCCI works together with one of other enumerated contractors in this parenthetical), Turner Construction, Howard Building Corporation and Turelk Construction being deemed approved), materials, mechanics and materialmen reasonably approved by Landlord, or provide that Tenant shall utilize an available contractor of Landlord’s selection to perform all work for Alterations that constitute a Design Problem (provided that Landlord shall cause such contractor to charge Tenant for such work an amount equal to the costs that comparable first-class, reputable, and reliable contractors would have charged Tenant if selected pursuant to competitive bidding procedures). Landlord hereby approves the following general contractors:
Phoenix Construction & Management 
515 S. Flower Street, suite 1270 
Los Angeles, CA,   90071
Excel Construction Services
1950 Raymer Ave
Fullerton, CA 92833
Evans & Son, Inc.
25812 Springbrook Avenue
Santa Clarita, CA 91350
Tenant shall construct all Alterations and perform any repairs undertaken by Tenant in conformance with all applicable Laws and pursuant to a valid building permit, issued by the City of Los Angeles, and in conformance with Landlord’s reasonable construction rules and regulations. Landlord’s approval of the plans, specifications and working drawings for Tenant’s Alterations shall create no responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their
- 34 -


completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with all Laws, but, subject to Tenant’s obligation to carry out all Alteration work in compliance with the provisions of this Article 8, shall constitute Landlord’s approval of such Alteration. All work with respect to any Alterations must be done in a good and workmanlike manner and diligently prosecuted to completion to the end that the Premises shall at all times be a complete unit except during the period of work. In performing the work of any such Alterations, Tenant shall have the work performed in such manner as not to obstruct access to the Building, Retail Area, Common Areas or the common areas for any other tenant of the Building, and as not to obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants in the Building or Retail Area, or interfere with the labor force working in the Building or Retail Area. In addition to Tenant’s obligations under Article 9 of this Lease, upon completion of any Alterations requiring a building permit and costing in excess of $75,000, Tenant agrees to cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the County of Los Angeles in accordance with Section 8180-8190 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, and Tenant shall deliver to the Building management office an electronic copy of the record set of drawings of the Alterations.
8.3 Payment for Improvements. In the event Tenant orders any Alteration or repair work directly from Landlord, or from the contractor selected by Landlord, the charges for such work shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease, payable within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of billing therefor (including a reasonably particularized statement setting forth the charges), either periodically during construction or upon the substantial completion of such work, at Landlord’s option. Upon completion of such work, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, if payment is made directly to contractors, evidence of payment, contractors’ affidavits and full and final waivers of all liens for labor, services or materials. If Tenant orders any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a percentage of the cost of such work (such percentage to be established on a uniform basis for the Building and consistent with similar charges imposed by the landlords of the Comparable Buildings) sufficient to compensate Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses arising from Landlord’s involvement with such work, and if Tenant does not order any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable, actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with Landlord’s review’ of such work (without profit or mark-up).
8.4 Construction Insurance. In addition to the requirements of Article 10 of this Lease, in the event that Tenant makes any Alterations, Tenant agrees to carry, or cause the applicable contractors to carry, prior to the commencement of such Alterations, “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 below immediately upon completion thereof. In addition, for work in excess of $250,000.00, Landlord may, in its reasonably discretion, require any Transferee (as defined in Section 14.1 of this Lease), but not the Original Tenant or an Affiliate of the Original Tenant, to obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee.

- 35 -


8.5 Landlord’s Property. All Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment which may be permanently installed in or about the Premises, and all signs installed in, on or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of Landlord, except that Tenant may remove any Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment which are installed, provided Tenant repairs any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal, normal wear and tear excepted. Furthermore, if Landlord requires, at the time Landlord approves of the Alteration, that Tenant be required to remove any Alteration upon the expiration or early termination of the Lease Term, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant no later than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Lease Term, or given upon any earlier termination of this Lease, require Tenant at Tenant’s expense to remove such Alterations and to repair any damage to the Premises, Retail Area and Building caused by such removal (normal wear and tear excepted), subject, however, to the restrictions on Landlord’s right to so require Tenant to remove certain Alterations as provided in Section 15.2 below. If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any Alterations prior to or at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, Landlord may do so upon ten (10) days’ notice to Tenant and may charge the actual, reasonable and documented cost thereof to Tenant (without profit or mark-up). Tenant hereby indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any liability, cost, obligation, expense or claim of lien in any manner relating to the installation, placement, removal or financing of any such Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises, except to the extent the particular work is performed by Landlord and/or such liability, cost, obligation, claim or expense results from Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct.
9. Covenant Against Liens.
Tenant has no authority or power to cause or permit any lien or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever, whether created by act of Tenant, operation of law or otherwise, to attach to or be placed upon the Real Property, Building or Premises, and any and all liens and encumbrances created by Tenant shall attach to Tenant’s interest only. Landlord shall have the right at all times to post and keep posted on the Premises any reasonably sized notice which it deems necessary for protection from such liens. In the event that other than due to Landlord’s failure to timely disburse any tenant improvement allowance required to be disbursed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease, any lien of mechanics or materialmen or others is placed against the Real Property, the Building or the Premises with respect to work or services claimed to have been performed for or materials claimed to have been furnished to Tenant or the Premises, Tenant covenants and agrees to cause it to be released and removed of record (by bonding or otherwise) within fifteen (15) business days after its receipt of written notice from Landlord regarding the existence of such lien. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, in the event that such lien is not released and removed (by bonding or otherwise) on or before the date occurring fifteen (15) business days after written notice of such lien is delivered by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord, at its sole option, may immediately take all action necessary to release and remove such lien, without any duty to investigate the validity thereof, and all sums, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, actually incurred by Landlord in connection with such lien shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease and shall be due and payable by Tenant within thirty (30) days of receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor.

- 36 -


10. Indemnification and Insurance.
10.1 Indemnification and Waiver. To the extent not prohibited by law, Landlord, its partners and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and independent contractors shall not be liable to Tenant (except as expressly provided in Section 19.8.2 or elsewhere in this Lease) for any damage to property resulting from the loss of use thereof, which damage is sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant, due to the occurrence of any accident or event in or about the Building, Retail Area, Real Property and/or the Parking Areas, or due to any act or neglect of any tenant or occupant of the Retail Area or the Building, including the Premises, or of any other person, including without limitation, any damage caused by gas, electricity, steam, sewage, sewer gas or odors, fire, water or by the bursting or leaking of pipes, faucets, sprinklers, plumbing fixtures and windows, or to any other cause regardless of whether of an entirely different nature; provided, however, the provisions of this sentence shall not be applicable to any such damage to the extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, contractors, servants or employees, or to any default by Landlord in the observance or performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease to be performed on Landlord’s part. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless Landlord, its partners and their respective officers, agents, servants and employees from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with or arising from any cause in, on or about the Premises, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (A) any default by Tenant in the observance or performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed or performed; (B) the use or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or any person claiming by, through or under Tenant; (C) the condition of the Premises or any occurrence on the Premises from any cause whatsoever, except to the extent such occurrence is the result of (1) a condition or occurrence originating outside the Premises that is not described in clause (D) hereinbelow, or (2) Hazardous Materials that exist in or outside the Premises as of the Lease Commencement Date or which thereafter were placed in the Premises or found to be in or outside the Premises to the extent not (x) introduced, disposed of or otherwise caused by Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties or (y) in any tenant improvements, alterations, fixtures, equipment or personal property installed by or for Tenant in the Premises, Building, Retail Area or Real Property; or (D) any acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, or of the contractors, agents, servants, employees or licensees of Tenant or any such person, in, on or about the Premises, Real Property, and/or the Parking Areas either prior to, during, or after the expiration of the Lease Term, including, without limitation, any acts, omissions or negligence in the making or performance of any Alterations or the Tenant Improvements by Tenant, provided that Tenant shall not be required to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from, nor does Tenant hereby waive any claim against Landlord for, any loss, cost, liability, damage or expense, including, but not limited to, penalties, fines, attorneys’ fees or costs (collectively, “Claims”), to any person, property or entity resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, contractors, servants or employees, in connection with Landlord’s operation of the Building, Retail Area, Real Property and/or Building Parking Area or the failure of Landlord to perform any of its obligations under this Lease (except for damage to any improvements or alterations in the Premises [including the Tenant Improvements] and Tenant’s personal property, fixtures, furniture and equipment in the Premises, to the extent such damage is covered by Tenant’s required insurance coverage hereunder, or if Tenant had carried the insurance required hereunder
- 37 -


would have been covered; but not to the extent of any insurance deductibles permitted to be carried by Tenant hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations or exceptions to Landlord’s liability contained in this Section 10.1, Landlord hereby indemnifies, defends, protects and holds Tenant harmless from any such excluded Claims described in the immediately preceding sentence; provided further that because Landlord is required to maintain property damage insurance on the Building and Retail Area Tenant compensates Landlord for such insurance as part of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses and because of the existence of waivers of subrogation set forth in Section 10.4 of this Lease, Landlord hereby indemnifies, defends, protects, and holds Tenant harmless from any Claims for any property damage or loss to any portion of the Building located outside the Premises to the extent such Claim is covered by such insurance or damages due to the failure of Landlord to perform any of its obligations under this Lease (or if Landlord had carried the insurance required hereunder would have been covered; but not to the extent of any insurance deductibles permitted to be carried by Landlord hereunder), even if resulting from the negligent acts or omissions of Tenant or those of its agents, contractors, servants, employees or licensees. Similarly, since Tenant must carry property damage insurance pursuant to this Article 10 to cover its personal property within the Premises and the Real Property, and any tenant improvements and Alterations in the Premises (including the Tenant Improvements), Tenant hereby indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any Claims for any property damage or loss to any such items to the extent arising from any event to the extent such Claims are covered by such insurance (or if Tenant had carried the insurance required hereunder would have been covered; but not to the extent of any insurance deductibles permitted to be carried by Tenant hereunder), even if resulting from the negligent acts or omissions of Landlord or those of its agents, contractors, servants, employees or licensees. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability occurring prior to such expiration or termination. No provision of this Section 10.1 shall affect the waivers of subrogation described in Section 10.4 of this Lease. Each party’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall include the obligation, at the indemnified party’s request, to defend the indemnified party with counsel reasonably acceptable to such indemnified party, at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.
10.2 Landlord’s Insurance and Tenant’s Compliance with Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord shall maintain during the Lease Term a policy or policies of property insurance insuring the Building, Real Property, Retail Area and Building Parking Area against loss or damage due to fire and other casualties covered within the classification of “all risk” or “special form” coverage, to the extent available on a commercially reasonable basis, for the full replacement cost of the covered items determined in a commercially reasonable manner. Such coverage shall be in amounts that meet any co-insurance clauses of the policies of insurance. Landlord shall be permitted to carry such deductibles with respect to such property insurance as are customarily carried from time to time by reasonably prudent landlords of the Comparable Buildings. Landlord shall also maintain a policy or policies of commercial general liability insurance covering the Building, Real Property, Retail Area and Building Parking Area and the performance by Landlord of its indemnity agreements set forth in Section 10.1 of this Lease, in such amounts and with such deductibles as are customarily carried from time to time by reasonably prudent landlords of the Comparable Buildings. As of the date of this Lease Landlord currently carries commercial general liability coverage in limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence, with umbrella coverage of $100,000,000 per occurrence. Additionally, at the option of Landlord, Landlord’s property insurance coverage may include the risks of earthquakes and/or flood damage and additional hazards, a rental loss endorsement and one or more loss payee
- 38 -


endorsements in favor of the holders of any mortgages or deeds of trust encumbering the interest of Landlord in the Real Property or the ground or underlying lessors of the Real Property, or any portion thereof. Upon inquiry by Tenant, from time to time, Landlord shall inform Tenant of such coverage carried by Landlord. Tenant shall neither use the Premises nor permit the Premises to be used or acts to be done therein which will: (i) increase the premium of any insurance described in this Section 10.2 unless Tenant agrees to pay for such increase in premium (which payment shall be made by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of invoice therefor from Landlord); (ii) cause a cancellation of or be in conflict with any such insurance policies of Landlord; or (iii) result in a refusal by insurance companies of good standing to insure the Building or the Real Property in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; provided, that Landlord agrees that Tenant’s use of the Premises for the Permitted Use and otherwise in compliance with this Lease will not cause or result in any of the matters referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) hereinabove. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, comply as to the Premises with all reasonable insurance company requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises. If Tenant’s conduct or use of the Premises causes any increase in the premium for such insurance policies, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such increase. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations or requirements of the American Insurance Association (formerly the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and with any similar body.
10.3 Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant shall maintain during the Lease Term the following coverages in the following amounts.
10.3.1 A policy or policies of commercial general liability insurance covering the insured against claims of bodily injury, personal injury and property damage arising out of Tenant’s occupancy, assumed liabilities or use of the Premises, including coverage with respect to the insuring provisions of this Lease and the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreements set forth in Section 10.1 of this Lease, for limits of liability not less than:
Bodily Injury and
Property Damage Liability $1,000,000 each occurrence
$2,000,000 annual aggregate
Personal Injury Liability $1,000,000 each occurrence
$2,000,000 annual aggregate
Umbrella Coverage $5,000,000

10.3.2 Property insurance covering (i) all furniture, trade fixtures, equipment, merchandise and all other items of Tenant’s property on the Premises installed by, for, or at the expense of Tenant, (ii) all leasehold improvements in the Premises, (iii) all other improvements, alterations and additions to the Premises, and (iv) the Telecommunication Equipment. Such insurance shall insure against loss or damage due to fire and other casualties covered within the classification of “all risk” or “special form” coverage, to the extent available on a commercially reasonable basis, for the full replacement cost of the covered items determined in a commercially reasonable manner, and in amounts that meet any co-insurance clauses of the policies of insurance.
10.3.3 Comprehensive Automobile Insurance covering all owned, non-owned and hired automobiles of Tenant with combined single limit not less than:

- 39 -


Bodily Injury Liability $1,000,000 each accident
Property Damage Liability $1,000,000 each accident

10.3.4 Form of Policies. The minimum limits of policies of insurance required of Landlord and Tenant under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of either party under this Lease. Tenant’s insurance shall: (i) name as an additional insured on Tenant’s general liability policy on a blanket basis, Landlord, and all mortgage or deed of trust holders or lessors of any underlying ground leases respecting the Real Property, the identity of whom Landlord has provided Tenant with not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice; (ii) specifically cover Tenant’s indemnification obligations under Section 10.1 of this Lease except to the extent such obligations arise as a result of a default by Tenant; (iii) be issued by an insurance company having a rating of not less than A-VII in Best’s Insurance Guide or such lesser rating which is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord and licensed to do business in the State of California; (iv) be primary insurance as to all claims thereunder and provide that any insurance carried by Landlord is excess and is non-contributing with any insurance requirement of Tenant; and (v) contain a cross-liability endorsement or severability of interest clause. Landlord’s insurance shall comply with the requirements of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, with all references to Landlord in such clauses modified to refer to Tenant, and all references to Tenant modified to refer to Landlord. Tenant shall send a link to the Memorandum of Insurance to Landlord at or before the expiration dates thereof. In the event Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to provide the Memorandum of Insurance, Landlord may, at its option, upon at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to Tenant, procure such policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after delivery to Tenant of the bills thereof, unless within such fifteen (15) days, Tenant procures such insurance (if Tenant did not have coverage) and delivers to Landlord a Memorandum of Insurance as required above. Tenant shall provide Landlord written notice of its receipt of any notice of cancellation of any insurance or of any coverage changed below that required herein. Upon reasonable request by Tenant, Landlord shall make available for Tenant’s review at the Retail Area management office, copies of the applicable insurance policies evidencing the existence of Landlord’s required insurance hereunder.
10.4 Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant agree to have their respective insurance companies issuing property damage insurance waive any rights of subrogation that such companies may have against Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, to the extent such waivers are routinely and customarily available. As long as such waivers of subrogation are contained in their respective insurance policies, or would have been contained in such insurance policies had the responsible party used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such waivers and such waivers are routinely and customarily available, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any right that either may have against the other on account of any loss or damage to their respective property to the extent such loss or damage is insurable under policies of insurance maintained or required to be maintained hereunder. if either party fails to carry the amounts and types of insurance required to be carried by it pursuant to this Article 10, such failure shall be deemed to be a covenant and agreement by such party to self-insure with respect to the type and amount of
- 40 -


insurance which such party so failed to carry, with full waiver of subrogation with respect thereto.
10.5 Additional Insurance Obligations. Tenant shall carry and maintain during the entire Lease Term, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, increased amounts of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to Section 10.3.1 above, as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, but in no event shall such increased amounts of insurance be in excess of that required by landlords of comparable retail projects for tenants comparable to Tenant.
10.6 Self-Insurance. So long as Tenant maintains a Tangible Net Worth (as defined below) in excess of One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000.00), Tenant may provide self-insurance in lieu of the insurance required in Sections 10.3 and 10.5 above, whether by the establishment of an insurance fund or reserve to be held and applied to make good losses from casualties, or otherwise, which conforms to the practice of large corporations maintaining systems of self-insurance or by simply sending a notice to Landlord stating that it will be responsible to pay all Claims as if it was an insurance company providing the insurance coverage Tenant was otherwise obligated to obtain under this Lease. As used herein, “Tangible Net Worth” means the excess of total assets over total liabilities, in each case as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“GAAP”), excluding, however, from the determination of total assets, all assets which would be classified as intangible assets under GAAP including, without limitation, goodwill, licenses, patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, and franchises. Prior to Tenant electing to self-insure under this Section 10.6, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord Tenant’s annual report evidencing such minimum $100,000,000.00 Tangible Net Worth requirement, which annual report shall be prepared by a national firm of certified public accountants in accordance with GAAP and certified as accurate (the “Annual Report”). Thereafter while Tenant is continuing to self-insure under this Section 10.6, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, within forty-five (45) days after written request therefor from Landlord made after the end of each fiscal year, a current Annual Report for the prior fiscal year evidencing such $100,000,000.00 minimum Tangible Net Worth. If at any time Tenant’s Tangible Net Worth is less than $100,000,000.00, then Tenant shall be required to immediately obtain and maintain the insurance provided for in Sections 10.3 and 10.5 above. If Tenant self-insures any of the risks to which coverage is required under Sections 10.3 and/or 10.5 above, Tenant’s self-insurance protection shall be deemed to include (and Tenants self-insurance shall be deemed to include) the waivers of subrogation and the additional insured status mentioned above in favor of Landlord, its lenders and any other parties Landlord so specifies as provided in Section 10.3 above. Furthermore, (i) the self-insurance protection shall be equivalent to the coverage required under Sections 10.3 and 10.5 above, and Tenant shall not be relieved from the indemnification obligations of this Lease, (ii) Tenant shall be responsible for, assume all liability for, and release and waive all right of recovery against Landlord and its partners and members and subpartners and submembers, and their respective officers, agents, property managers, servants, employees, and independent contractors for, the costs of any loss or claim to the extent that such loss or claim would have been covered by the insurance Tenant would have otherwise been required to maintain hereunder, and (iii) Tenant shall pay all amounts on behalf of Landlord and its partners and members and subpartners and submembers, and their respective officers, agents, property managers, servants, employees, and independent contractors (and waive, release, protect, indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Landlord and its
- 41 -


partners and members and subpartners and submembers, and their respective officers, agents, property managers, servants, employees, and independent contractors from and against) any and all Claims incurred by Landlord (and its partners and members and subpartners and submembers, and their respective officers, agents, property managers, servants, employees, and independent contractors) which would have been payable or insured against by a hypothetical third-party insurer for the benefit of Tenant and/or Landlord (and its partners and members and subpartners and submembers, and their respective officers, agents, property managers, servants, employees, and independent contractors) had Tenant maintained the insurance required under Sections 10.3 and 10.5 above with deemed full waiver of subrogation in favor of Landlord (and its partners and members and subpartners and submembers, and their respective officers, agents, property managers, servants, employees, and independent contractors), and with reasonable deductible amounts applicable to such policies. If Tenant fails to comply with the requirements relating to self-insurance and insurance, Landlord may, in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.3.4 above, obtain such insurance and Tenant shall pay to Landlord immediately on demand the premium cost thereof. It is expressly understood that the self-insurance permitted above does not relieve Tenant of its statutory obligations under Workers’ Compensation laws.
11. Damage and Destruction.
11.1 Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. If the Premises, Building Parking Area or any Common Areas of the Retail Area serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 11, restore the Premises, Building Parking Area and such Common Areas to the condition existing prior such fire or other casualty. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the Premises, Building Parking Area and Common Areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications thereto (i) required by zoning and building codes and other laws, or (ii) reasonably required by the holder of a mortgage on the Retail Area or reasonably deemed desirable by Landlord, provided (A) Tenant’s access to and use of the Premises and Building Parking Area shall not be materially impaired, and (B) such Premises, Building Parking Area and any Common Areas will be in a condition that is equal or better than the condition of such items immediately prior to the damage and destruction. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, if this Lease is not terminated, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance required under Sections 10.3.2(ii) and (iii) of this Lease to the extent necessary to reimburse Landlord on a progress payment basis for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the repair of any such damage, and Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the leasehold improvements and Alterations installed in the Premises and shall return such leasehold improvements and Alterations 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, plus the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Landlord’s insurance carrier to the extent allocable to damage of the leasehold improvements and Alterations, the cost of such repair shall be paid by Tenant on a progress-payment basis, but only after exhaustion of Tenant’s and Landlord’s insurance proceeds received by Landlord and allocable to the damage of the leasehold improvements and Alterations. In connection with such repairs and replacements, Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of construction, submit to
- 42 -


Landlord, for Landlord’s review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Tenant and Landlord shall select the general contractor to perform such improvement work and if they do not agree as to the identity of the general contractor, Landlord shall select the general contractor on the basis of a reputation for high quality work, integrity, timeliness of performance and financial stability, and, if commercially reasonable and practicable under the circumstances, after competitively bidding such improvement work to at least three (3) general contractors designated by Landlord and reasonably acceptable to Tenant (with respect to any such competitive bidding procedure, Landlord shall select as the general contractor to perform such improvement work, the general contract submitting the lowest bid and is able to meet Landlord’s commercially reasonable schedule for the performance of 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, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises, Building Parking Areas (unless Landlord provides reasonable substitute parking) or Common Areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy of or access to the Premises, Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Rent during the time and to the extent to which Tenant is denied access to the Premises and/or to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease (including due to lack of parking unless Landlord provides reasonable substitute parking), and not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof; provided, further, if the Premises or Common Areas providing access to the Premises are damaged such that the portion of the Premises which is fit for occupancy and to which Tenant is permitted access is not sufficient to allow Tenant to conduct its business operations from such remaining portion and Tenant does not conduct its business operations therefrom, Landlord shall allow Tenant a total abatement of Rent during the time and to the extent Tenant is denied access to the Premises and/or the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease, and not occupied by Tenant as a result of the subject damage.
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 and/or Retail Area and instead terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant ninety (90) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Retail Area shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) repairs cannot reasonably be substantially completed within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); or (ii) as a result of the casualty in question, (A) Landlord would have to repair “uninsured” or “underinsured” damage to the Retail Area (“uninsured” or “underinsured” meaning that Landlord does not have insurance proceeds from third party insurance companies with respect to such damage to the Retail Area, provided that Landlord would also not have such insurance proceeds had Landlord carried the insurance required under this Lease) at a cost in excess of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), (B) Landlord terminates the leases of all other tenants of the Retail Area leasing a full floor or more similarly affected by the damage and destruction which, with respect to tenants of the Retail Area leasing space pursuant to leases in effect as of the date of this Lease, contain termination rights in favor of Landlord permitting Landlord to terminate such leases in the event of an uninsured or underinsured casualty damage (it being agreed by Landlord that Landlord shall not modify any such existing leases to eliminate any such termination rights), and (C) Landlord
- 43 -


covenants to Tenant in writing that Landlord will not commence any repairs of such damaged portions of the Premises and/or Retail Area within nine (9) months following the date of casualty for the purposes of leasing the Premises to third parties, and such covenant by Landlord shall survive any such termination of this Lease, the breach of which shall, without limitation, subject Landlord to liability to Tenant for any actual damages suffered by Tenant as a result therefrom. For purposes of clause (C) hereinabove, “repairs” shall not be deemed to include repairs to the extent required by applicable law or reasonably necessary to ensure safety in or around the Retail Area and/or any such damaged portions of the Premises or Retail Area. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord’s termination right as provided hereinabove, and the repairs cannot reasonably be substantially completed within two hundred forty (240) days after being commenced (which 240-day period shall be subject to extension as a result of any Force Majeure events and delays caused by Tenant), Tenant may elect, no earlier than sixty (60) days after the date of the damage and not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of such damage, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in the notice. Furthermore, if neither Landlord nor Tenant have terminated this Lease, and the repairs are not actually substantially completed within the period (the “Outside Repair Period”) which is the later of (A) such 240-day period, and (B) the estimated time period for repairs to have been substantially completed as provided hereinabove (which Outside Repair Period shall be subject to extension as a result of any Force Majeure events and delays caused by Tenant), Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease within five (5) business days of the end of such Outside Repair Period and thereafter during the first five (5) business days of each calendar month following the end of such Outside Repair Period until such time as the repairs are substantially 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 five (5) business days following the end of such Outside Repair Period or each such month, as the case may be. 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, a certificate of Landlord’s contractor responsible for the repair of the damage certifying that it is such contractor’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-day period, then the Damage Termination Notice shall be of no force or effect, but if the repairs shall not be substantially completed within such thirty-day period, then this Lease shall terminate upon the expiration of such thirty-day period. On or before thirty (30) days after the date of a damage or destruction, Landlord shall inform Tenant of Landlord’s reasonable opinion of the projected date of completion of the repairs and whether adequate insurance proceeds will be available to cover the cost of repair and restoration.
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 Retail Area or any other portion of the Real Property, 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
- 44 -


effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Retail Area or any other portion of the Real Property.
11.4 Damage Near End of Term. In the event that the Premises or the Retail Area or any Common Areas of the Real Property providing access to the Premises are destroyed or damaged to any substantial extent (i.e., the time to repair such substantial damage will exceed one hundred eighty (180) days or the remainder of the Lease Term, whichever is less) during the last eighteen (18) months of the Lease Term (as such Lease Term may have been previously extended pursuant to Rider No. 1 to Lease or otherwise), then notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 11, Landlord or Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other party of the exercise of such option within thirty (30) days after such damage or destruction, in which event: (i) this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such notice; (ii) Tenant shall pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent, properly apportioned up to such date of damage; (iii) Landlord shall refund to Tenant the Base Rent and Additional Rent prepaid by Tenant and attributable to the period of time following the date of such damage; and (iv) both parties hereto shall thereafter he freed and discharged of all further obligations hereunder, except as provided for in provisions of this Lease which by their terms survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. In the event Landlord elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 11.4, Tenant shall have the right to exercise any remaining renewal options, and in such event, the other sections of this Article 12 shall apply.
12. Nonwaiver.
No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be implied by (i) any failure of either party to insist in any instance on the strict keeping, observance or performance of any covenant or agreement contained in the Lease or exercise any election contained in the Lease or (ii) any failure of either party to enforce any remedy on account of the violation of such provision, even if such violation shall continue or be repeated subsequently, any waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease may only be in writing, and no express waiver shall affect any provision other than the one specified in such waiver and that one only for the time and in the manner specifically stated. 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.
13. Condemnation.
13.1 Permanent Taking. If the whole or any major part of the Premises or a major portion of the Retail Area 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 or Building, 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 upon one
- 45 -


hundred eighty (180) days’ notice, provided such notice is given no later than sixty (60) days after the date of such taking, condemnation, reconfiguration, vacation, deed or other instrument and provided all other similarly situated tenants’ leases are also terminated. If so much of the Premises, Building or the Real Property is taken so as to substantially interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business from the Premises, or if access to the Premises is substantially impaired, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon one hundred eighty (180) days’ notice, provided such notice is given no later than sixty (60) days after the date of such taking. Landlord and Tenant shall each be entitled to receive fifty percent (50%) of the “bonus value” of the leasehold estate in connection therewith, which bonus value shall be equal to the sum paid by the condemning authority as the award for compensation for taking the leasehold created by this Lease. 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 claim is payable separately to Tenant. All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination, or the date of such taking, whichever shall first occur. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, 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 California Code of Civil Procedure.
13.2 Temporary Taking. 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 and 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. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary Taking.
14. Assignment and Subletting.
14.1 Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written reasonable consent of Landlord except as provided herein to the contrary, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment or other such foregoing transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law except as provided herein, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by any persons other than Tenant and its employees (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to 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”). For purposes of this Lease, an “Approved Transferee” shall mean (i) any Affiliate (as defined in Section 14.5 below) that is an assignee of Tenant’s entire interest in this Lease, (ii) any other assignee of Tenant’s entire interest in this Lease approved by Landlord pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Article 14, and (iii) any sublessee of the entire Office Space portion of the Premises then leased by Tenant for the entire balance of the Lease Term which sublessee is approved by Landlord pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Article 14.
In no event shall the terms of a proposed Transfer provide the Transferee with a right of first offer to all or any portion of the Premises. If Tenant shall desire Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the “Transfer Notice”) shall
- 46 -


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) the substantive terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing 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) in the case of a proposed assignment of the Lease, current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, (v) any other information reasonably required by Landlord, which will enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility (in the case of a proposed assignment of the Lease), character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee’s business and proposed use of the Subject Space, and (vi) such other information as Landlord may reasonably require. Landlord shall approve or disapprove of the proposed Transfer within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of the applicable Transfer Notice. Any Transfer made without Landlords prior written consent shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect. Whether or not Landlord shall grant consent, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with its review of a proposed Transfer; provided, however, Landlord’s legal fees and expenses in connection with the review of such sublease shall not exceed $2,500.00 during the Initial Lease Term, and $5,000.00 during any extension thereafter.
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, no restriction in any other tenant or subtenant’s lease or sublease restricting the subleasing of space to another tenant in the Real Property shall be enforced by Landlord as to Tenant and/or the other tenant or subtenant so as to prevent or restrict an assignment, sublease or sub-sublease to Tenant if either Landlord has no available space in the Retail Area for direct lease to Tenant of comparable size as the proposed space to be assigned to or sublet by Tenant from such other tenant or subtenant (herein, the “Proposed Sublease Space”).
14.2 Landlord’s Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or condition its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the turns specified in the Transfer Notice. The parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply, without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent:
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 as determined with reference to the then existing tenants of the Building;
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 (i) is a governmental agency or instrumentality whose use of the space shall involve the rendering of welfare-related services and/or unusually heavy pedestrian visitor traffic, (ii) is a governmental agency or an instrumentality of a foreign country, (iii) is of a character or reputation, is engaged in a business, or is of, or is associated
- 47 -


with, a political orientation or faction or other cause, which is materially inconsistent with the quality of the Retail Area, may result in repeated demonstrations or other events which may disrupt the use, occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Retail Area by other tenants or occupants or which would otherwise reasonably offend a landlord of a comparable retail project, or (iv) is a governmental agency or instrumentality which is capable of exercising the power of eminent domain or condemnation;
14.2.4 The Transfer will result in more than a reasonable and safe number of occupants per floor within the Subject Space;
14.2.5 Intentionally omitted;
14.2.6 The proposed Transfer would cause Landlord to be in violation of another lease or agreement to which Landlord is a party, or would give an occupant of the Retail Area a right to cancel its lease; or
14.2.7 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, is actively negotiating with Landlord in good faith to lease space in the Building at such time and comparable space to the subject space is available for lease.
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 14.3 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 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 Notice to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14.
14.3 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”), then Tenant shall give Landlord notice (“Intention to Transfer Notice”) of such Contemplated Transfer. The Intention to Transfer Notice shall specify the portion and number of rentable square feet of the Premises which Tenant intends to transfer (“Contemplated Transfer Space”), the contemplated date of the commencement of the term of such Contemplated Transfer (“Contemplated Effective Date”), and the contemplated length of such Contemplated Transfer, and shall specify that such Intention to Transfer Notice is delivered to Landlord pursuant to this Section 14.3 in order to allow Landlord to elect to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space. Thereafter, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Intention to Transfer Notice, to recapture such Contemplated Transfer Space upon the basic terms and conditions specified in the Intention to Transfer Notice. In the event such option is exercised by Landlord, and Tenant does not revoke its Transfer Notice by delivering written notice of such revocation to Landlord within fifteen (15) days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s election to recapture, this Lease shall be cancelled and terminated (or when appropriate, suspended if the last day of the term of the
- 48 -


Contemplated Transfer is not the last day of the Lease Term or when appropriate, the last day of a renewal period and at the end of the suspension period, such Premises, or where appropriate, portion of the Premises, shall be returned to Tenant in the same condition as when received, reasonable wear and tear excepted) with respect to all of the Contemplated Transfer Space as of the date stated in the Intention to Transfer Notice as of the Contemplated Effective Date until the last day of the term of the Contemplated Transfer. In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be cancelled with respect to less than the entire Premises, (i) 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, (ii) Tenants parking passes described in Section 26.1 of this Lease shall be proportionately reduced, and (iii) this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon the request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord fails to timely elect to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space under this Section 14.3, then, for a period of one (1) year (“One Year Period”) commencing on the last day of such thirty (30) day period, Tenant may transfer the Contemplated Transfer Space provided that any such Transfer is upon terms not materially inconsistent with the teams set forth in the Intention to Transfer Notice; 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 One Year Period (or if a Transfer is so consummated, then upon the expiration of the term of the Transfer for such Contemplated Transfer Space consummated within such One Year Period), or if Tenant desires to effectuate a Transfer during such One Year Period on terms materially inconsistent with the terms set forth in the Intention to Transfer Notice, Tenant shall again be required to submit a new Intention to Transfer Notice to Landlord with respect to any Contemplated Transfer, as provided in this Section 14.3. Tenant may deliver a Transfer Notice and an Intention to Transfer Notice simultaneously or at different times and the periods provided for Landlord’s approval following its receipt of the same, as set forth in Sections 14.2 and 14.3 respectively, shall commence upon Landlord’s receipt of each such notice notwithstanding the fact that such periods may overlap.
14.4 Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (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 (or a certified conformed copy) of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (iv) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant from liability under this Lease. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof.
14.5 Non-Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, Landlord’s consent shall not be required, the provisions of this Article 14 shall not be applicable to or in connection with, and the following shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Article 14 ; (a) any transfer of equity interest in Tenant; or (b) any sublease or assignment to (i) any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant (including but not limited to any company in the control or under the common control of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc.); (ii) any subsidiary or parent of Tenant or to any subsidiary of any parent of Tenant, (iii) the surviving entity resulting from a merger or
- 49 -


consolidation of Tenant; (iv) the acquirer of substantially all of Tenant’s assets or stock or (v) any other entity Controlled directly or indirectly by any of the foregoing entities (collectively, “Affiliate”). “Control” means the ability, directly or indirectly, to direct management and policies of another person or entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of any assignment or sublease pursuant to this Section 14.5 and promptly supply Landlord with any documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such assignment or sublease or such Affiliate, and further provided that such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article 14, Tenant shall not be permitted to assign or sublease all or any portion of the Premises to an Affiliate (or permit occupancy of the Premises by an Affiliate) if such assignment or sublease (or occupancy) would cause a violation of another lease for space in the Retail Area or would give an occupant of the Retail Area a right to cancel its Lease, provided that Landlord has previously notified Tenant of the restrictions which result in such violation or cancellation; and provided further, that for purposes of this Section 14.5 no such restrictive provisions shall prohibit a Transfer to an Affiliate due to the fact the business of such Affiliate includes the conducting or offering of retail financial services to the general public, including banks, savings banks, savings and loan institutions, or thrift and loan companies.
14.6 Business Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing provisions of this Article 14, Tenant shall have the right, without being subject to Landlord’s prior consent or Landlord’s recapture option in Section 14.3 above, but upon at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Landlord, to sublease, license or otherwise permit occupancy of up to an aggregate of 1,000 rentable square feet within the Premises to vendors, consultants or clients of Tenant who have an ongoing business relationship with Tenant (each a “Business Affiliate”), which sublease, license or occupancy agreement, as the case may be, to a Business Affiliate shall be on and subject to all of the following conditions: (A) all such Business Affiliates shall be of a reputation comparable to the reputation of other tenants of the Building; (B) all such Business Affiliates shall use the Premises for the Permitted Use and otherwise in conformity with all of the applicable provisions of this Lease; (C) each such sublease, license or occupancy agreement is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Article 14; (D) there shall be no separate demising walls or entrances to the space which is the subject of such sublease, license or occupancy agreement; (E) each such sublease, license and occupancy agreement shall be subject to and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease; (F) prior to the effective date of such occupancy agreement, Tenant shall provide Landlord with the name and address of the occupant and a copy of the agreement under which such occupant is occupying the Premises; and (G) no separate signage is provided to any such Business Affiliate. No such sublease, license or occupancy agreement, as the case may be, shall relieve Tenant from any liability under this Lease. If the occupancy of any such Business Affiliate does not satisfy all of the foregoing conditions, then such occupancy shall be deemed to constitute a Transfer and shall be deemed subject to the provisions of this Article 14.
15. Surrender of Premises; Ownership and Removal of Trade Fixtures.
15.1 Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in a
- 50 -


writing signed by Landlord. 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.
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: (i) quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order and condition as when Tenant took possession and as thereafter improved by Landlord and/or Tenant, except for (A) reasonable wear and tear and (B) damage from casualty which is not specifically made Tenant’s responsibility to repair pursuant to Article 10.1 above; and (ii) without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, free-standing cabinet work, 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, as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, require to be removed, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Retail Area resulting from such removal. Notwithstanding anything to contrary in the Lease, Tenant shall have no obligation to remove the Landlord Improvements, the Tenant Improvements, or any Alterations or improvements (unless Landlord notified Tenant in writing of the removal requirement at the time of approval in accordance with Article 8). In addition, Tenant shall have no obligation to remove any cabling, conduit or trade fixtures (unless elected, at Tenant sole election) and shall otherwise leave the Premises in its then existing condition unless Tenant elects to terminate the Lease under Rider No. 4 attached hereto, or Landlord terminates the Lease due to a Tenant Event of Default, in which case Tenant shall be responsible for such removal at Tenant’s sole cost and expense prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
15.3 Removal of Tenant’s Property by Landlord. Whenever Landlord shall re-enter the Premises as provided in this Lease, any personal property of Tenant not removed by Tenant upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or within ten (10) days after a termination by reason of Tenant’s default as provided in this Lease, shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant and may be disposed of by Landlord in accordance with Sections 1980 through 1991 of the California Civil Code and Section 1174 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, or in accordance with any Laws or judicial decisions which may supplement or supplant those provisions from time to time. Any provision of this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, upon Tenant’s surrender of the Premises at the time of the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, if there shall remain in the Premises any computer servers, desktop stations, laptops, files or other material personal property which could reasonably be expected to contain customer information (collectively, the “Protected Personal Property”), such Protected Personal Property shall not become the property of or be disposed of by Landlord and Landlord shall forbear from enforcing any contractual, statutory or common law interest in or against such Protected Personal Property except as expressly permitted under this Section 15.3. To the extent any Protected Personal Property remains in the Premises, Landlord shall provide Tenant with
- 51 -


written notice of the same and the right (upon notice to Landlord’s Building manager and to be accompanied by a representative of Landlord) to access the Premises during Landlord’s normal business hours for Tenant to retrieve said items. In the event the Protected Personal Property is not removed by Tenant on or before five (5) business days after the notice is delivered by Landlord, then Landlord may arrange for moving and storage of the Protected Personal Property (in any commercially reasonable manner Landlord so desires) at Tenant’s sole cost and expense for a period of not less than thirty (30) days. Landlord may dispose of or destroy such Protected Personal Property in any commercially reasonable manner permitted by applicable law in the event Tenant has not retrieved such items from storage or paid Landlord’s costs after thirty (30) days. It is Landlord’s intention under this Section 15.3 to reasonably assist Tenant’s requirements with respect to the Protected Personal Property at no cost to Landlord, but in doing so Tenant agrees that Landlord is not undertaking any liability for the Protected Personal Property and such liability shall remain solely with Tenant. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Protected Personal Property may contain sensitive, confidential and/or proprietary information which is subject to federal, state, and local regulations as to ownership, possession, storage, disposal, removal or other handling, but, except in the case of Landlord’s willful misconduct, Landlord (and Landlord’s affiliates, partners, and agents) shall have no liability whatsoever for any theft, mishandling, loss or any other damages whatsoever with respect to any Protected Personal Property remaining in the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. In the event Landlord reasonably requires that the Premises be free of any such Protected Personal Property (including, without limitation, in order to commence construction in the space or to allow a new tenant to occupy the Premises) immediately after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Landlord shall be permitted to remove and store such Protected Personal Property as provided above without notice to Tenant. In such an event, Tenant shall be responsible for moving and storage costs.
15.4 Landlord’s Actions on Premises. Tenant hereby waives all claims for damages or other liability in connection with, following an Event of Default, Landlord’s reentering and taking possession of the Premises or removing, retaining, storing or selling the property of Tenant as herein provided, and no such re-entry shall be considered or construed to be a forcible entry.
15.5 Regulatory Closure Period/Termination by Landlord. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant, as a national banking association, is subject to certain federal laws and regulations regarding the closing of a bank branch, including, without limitation, customer notices required to be distributed in advance of a bank branch closing.  Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, in any instance under this Lease where Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises is terminated, whether for default, casualty, eminent domain or otherwise, Tenant may, if it so elects, have a period of one hundred and fifty (150) days from the date that Tenant’s right of possession is terminated (the “Regulatory Closure Period”) to wind up its affairs, send out required notices and vacate the Premises.  Tenant’s payment of Rent and the performance of all obligations under this Lease shall remain in effect during the Regulatory Closure Period (except as otherwise mutually agreed); provided, however, as a condition to Tenant’s right to remain in possession of the Premises during the Regulatory Closure Period, Tenant shall pay to Landlord in advance, prior to the first day of the Regulatory Closure Period, Monthly Base Rent due for the entire one hundred fifty (150) day period in an amount equal to
- 52 -


one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Monthly Base Rent that Tenant would have been required to pay under the Lease if Landlord has not elected to terminate the Lease. Subject to the terms and conditions of the immediately preceding sentence, any period of occupancy permitted under this Section 15.5 shall not be considered a holdover for purposes of Section 16 below.
16. Holding Over.
If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term hereof, with or without 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 Base Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to (i) for the first (1st) month of any such holdover, the same Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease, and (ii) thereafter, one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other 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, expenses, damages and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) 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.
17. Estoppel Certificates.
Within twenty (20) days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute 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 Retail Area, or any portion thereof), indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain any other information reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagee or prospective mortgagee. Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes. Failure of Tenant to timely execute and deliver such estoppel certificate or other commercially reasonable instruments shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises and an acknowledgment by Tenant that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception. Landlord hereby agrees to provide to Tenant an estoppel certificate signed by Landlord, containing the same types of information, and within the same periods of time, as set forth above, with such changes as are reasonably necessary to reflect that the estoppel certificate is being granted and signed by Landlord to Tenant, rather than from Tenant to Landlord or a lender.
18. Subordination. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the date of this Lease, Landlord is the fee title owner of the Retail Area and Real Property, unencumbered
- 53 -


by any ground lease. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all future ground or underlying leases of the Real Property, if any, and to the lien of any mortgages or trust deeds, now or hereafter in force against the Real Property and the Retail Area, 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, unless the holders of such mortgages or trust deeds, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases, require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto. Within thirty (30) days following the execution and delivery of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver to the other party, and Landlord shall cause the mortgagee under the existing deed of trust on the Real Property to execute and deliver to Tenant, a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement on Landlord’s lender’s form, subject to commercially reasonable modifications negotiated by Tenant and Landlord’s lender. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Article 18, in consideration of, and as a condition precedent to, Tenant’s agreement to be bound by the terms of this Article 18 (including the subordination of this Lease to all future ground leases, mortgages or deeds of trust affecting the Real Property and/or Retail Area), Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement(s) on Landlord’s lender’s form, subject to commercially reasonable modifications negotiated by Tenant and Landlord’s lender, and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to and in favor of Tenant from any ground or underlying lessors, mortgage holders or lien holders of Landlord who come into existence at any time after the date hereof and prior to the expiration of the Lease Term. Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage, or if any ground or underlying lease is terminated, to attorn to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure sale, or to the lessor of such ground or underlying lease, as the case may be, if so requested to do so by such purchaser or lessor, and to recognize such purchaser or lessor as the lessor under this Lease. Such commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement(s) shall include the obligation of any such successor landlord to recognize Tenant’s offset rights specifically set forth in this Lease (including, without limitation, Tenant’s offset rights set forth in Section 7.2 above and Section 19.8.2), and the Allowance set forth in the Tenant Work Letter. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of request by Landlord, and receipt of the commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement(s) reasonably satisfactory to and in favor of Tenant described above, execute such further 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. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale.
19. Defaults; Remedies.
19.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” by Tenant under this Lease:
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, within seven (7) business days of notice that the same was not paid when due, which notice shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor law; or
- 54 -


19.1.2 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 however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor law; and provided further 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 said default as soon as possible; or
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, the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever.
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, lawfully 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:
(i) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus
(ii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(iii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(iv) Any other amount reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease as allowed by applicable Law; plus
(v) At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by 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 (ii), above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate, 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
- 55 -


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 Event of 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.
19.2.3 Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform or otherwise cure any such obligation, provision, covenant or condition on Tenant’s part to be observed or performed (and may enter the Premises for such purposes). Any such actions undertaken by Landlord pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 19.2.3 shall not be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s rights and remedies as a result of Tenant’s failure to perform and shall not release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.
19.3 Payment by Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of statements therefor, sums equal to expenditures reasonably made and obligations incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s performance or cure of any of Tenant’s obligations pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.2.3 above. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 19.3 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.
19.4 Sublessees of Tenant. Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any Event of Default by Tenant, as set forth in this Article 19, Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, succeed to Tenant’s interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements. If Landlord elects to succeed to Tenant’s interest in any such 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.
19.5 Form of Payment After Default. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to require that for the following twelve (12) month period any or all subsequent amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, whether in the cure of the default in question or otherwise, be paid in the form of cash, money order, cashier’s or certified check drawn on an institution acceptable to Landlord, or by other means approved by Landlord, notwithstanding any prior practice of accepting payments in any different form.
19.6 Waiver of Default. No waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other or later violation or breach of the same or any other of the terms, provisions, and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by Landlord in enforcement of one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an Event of Default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default. The acceptance of any Rent hereunder by Landlord following the occurrence of any default by Tenant, whether or not known to Landlord, shall not be deemed a waiver of any such default, except only a default in the payment of the Rent so accepted.
- 56 -


19.7 Efforts to Relet. For the purposes of this Article 19, Tenant’s right to possession shall not be deemed to have been terminated by efforts of Landlord to relet the Premises, by its acts of maintenance or preservation with respect to the Premises, or by appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord’s interests hereunder. The foregoing enumeration is not exhaustive, but merely illustrative of acts which may be performed by Landlord without terminating Tenant’s right to possession.
19.8 Landlord’s Default.
19.8.1 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 has failed 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 and subject to the provisions of Section 29.20 below, exercise any of its rights provided in law or in equity.
19.8.2 Abatement of Rent. 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 required by this Lease, which substantially interferes with Tenant’s use of the Premises, (ii) any failure to provide services or access to the Premises or the Parking Areas, regardless of whether caused by circumstances beyond Landlord’s control, (iii) the presence of Hazardous Materials in, on or around the Retail Area taking into account the standards and guidelines included in the definition of applicable laws with respect to Hazardous Materials, which pose a significant health risk to occupants of the Premises and are not caused by Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties, or (iv) because of the occurrence of a casualty (each such set of circumstances as set forth in items (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), 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 or ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of any such notice(s) in any consecutive twelve (12) month period (the “Eligibility Period”), then the Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses and Tenant’s obligation to pay for parking shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, retroactive to the date of the commencement of the Abatement Event, for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, 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
- 57 -


business therein, and if Tenant does not conduct its business from such remaining portion, then for such time after the commencement of the Abatement Event during which Tenant is so prevented from effectively conducting its business therein, the Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of increases in Direct Expenses and Tenants obligation to pay for parking for the entire Premises shall be abated for such time as Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises for the purpose of conducting business therein. If, however, Tenant reoccupies any portion of the Premises during such period for the purpose of conducting business therein, 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 during the period Tenant reoccupies such portion of the Premises. If Tenant’s right to abatement occurs during a free rent period which arises after the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant’s free rent period shall be extended for the number of days that the abatement period overlapped the free rent period (the “Overlap Period”). Landlord shall have the right to extend the expiration date of this Lease for a period of time equal to the Overlap Period if Landlord sends a notice to Tenant of such election within ten (10) days following the end of the extended free rent period. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.1 respecting personal injury or damage to Tenant’s property, such right to abate Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses and parking charges shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy at law for damages due to loss of use of the Premises for an Abatement Event; provided, however, that if Landlord has not cured such Abatement Event within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of notice from Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease during the first five (5) business days of each calendar month following the end of such 180-day period until such time as Landlord has cured the Abatement Event, which right may be exercised only by delivery of notice to Landlord (the “Abatement Event Termination Notice”) during such five business-day period, and shall be 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, and not more than six (6) months, following the delivery of the Abatement Event Termination Notice. If Tenant’s right to abatement occurs because of an eminent domain taking and/or because of damage or destruction to the Premises, Tenant’s abatement period shall continue until Tenant has been given sufficient time and sufficient access to the Premises to rebuild that portion of the Premises, if any, which it is required to rebuild pursuant to this Lease and to install its property, furniture, fixtures, and equipment and to move in over a weekend. To the extent Tenant is entitled to abatement without regard to the Eligibility Period, because of an event described in Articles 11 or 13 of this Lease, then the Eligibility Period shall not be applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to the terms of this Section 19.8.2, if (A) as of the date of delivery by Tenant of the Abatement Event Termination Notice, the first trust deed holder of the Retail Area (the “Bank”) has recorded a notice of default on the Retail Area or filed a notice evidencing a legal action by the Bank against Landlord on the Retail Area, and (B) within ten (10) business days following the date of the Abatement Event Termination Notice the Bank notifies Tenant of its intent to proceed to gain possession of the Retail Area, the Bank diligently proceeds to gain possession of the Retail Area, and, to the extent the Bank does gain possession of the Premises, the Bank diligently proceeds to cure such Abatement Event. In addition, Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to the foregoing terms of this Section 19.8.2 if the Abatement Event otherwise giving rise to such termination right is due to a casualty pursuant to Article 11 or a taking pursuant to Article 13, it being agreed that Tenant’s termination rights, if any, with
- 58 -


respect to any such damage or destruction or taking shall be governed by and set forth in Articles 11 and 13, respectively, and not this Section 19.8.2. Except as provided in this Section 19.8.2, nothing contained herein shall be interpreted to mean that Tenant is excused from paying Rent due hereunder.
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, 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.
21. Intentionally Omitted.
22. Signs.
22.1 Exterior Signage. Subject to the approval of all applicable governmental authorities, compliance with all applicable Laws, Landlord’s uniform sign program for the Retail Area and all recorded covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Real Property as of the date of execution and delivery of this Lease (and any hereafter recorded covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Real Property which do not conflict with the terms and conditions of this Lease), and the terms of this Section 22.2, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to install, at Tenant’s cost, (A) two (2) fabricated signs (which may be illuminated) displaying Tenant’s Trade Name on the exterior of the Premises, in the location shown on Exhibit “G” attached hereto, (B) one (1) prominent wayfinding/branding sign on the west side of the exterior of the Premises, and (C) one (1) prominent wayfinding/branding sign on the north side of the exterior of the Premises (collectively, the “Exterior Signs”). The two (2) wayfinding and branding signs described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be made from vinyl or a similar material, and can be rotated quarterly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby approves of the design and location depicted of the Exterior Signs to be located on the exterior of the Premises as depicted in Exhibit “G” attached hereto. Subject to the foregoing, the graphics, materials, color, design, lettering, lighting, size, specifications, manner of affixing and exact location of the Exterior Signs shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval. Tenant shall pay for all costs and expenses related to the Exterior Signs, including, without limitation, costs of the design, construction, installation, maintenance, insurance, utilities, repair and replacement thereof; provided, however, the initial installation and acquisition costs for the Exterior Signs may be paid out of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. Tenant shall install and maintain the Exterior Signs in compliance with all Laws and subject to the applicable provisions of Articles 7 and 8 above.
22.1.1 Intentionally Omitted.
22.1.2 Insurance/Maintenance/Removal. Tenant shall be responsible for maintaining insurance on the Exterior Signs as part of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to Section 10.3.2 above. Should the Exterior Signs require maintenance, repairs
- 59 -


and/or replacement as determined in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, Landlord shall have the right to provide written notice thereof to Tenant and Tenant shall cause such repairs, replacement and/or maintenance to be performed within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice from Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, if such repairs, replacement and/or maintenance are reasonably expected to require longer than ten (10) days to perform, Tenant shall commence such repairs, replacement and/or maintenance within such ten (10) day period and shall diligently prosecute such repairs, replacement and maintenance to completion. Should Tenant fail to perform such maintenance, repairs and/or replacement within the periods described in the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord shall have the right to cause such work to be performed and to charge Tenant as Additional Rent for the costs of such work including interest. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, cause the Exterior Signs to be removed, and Tenant shall repair all damage occasioned thereby and restore the affected areas to their original condition prior to the installation of such signage so required to be removed, normal wear and tear excepted. If Tenant fails to timely remove such signage and repair and restore the affected areas as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, then Landlord may perform such work, and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in so performing such work shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of invoice therefor including interest. The immediately preceding sentence shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
22.2 Prohibited Signage and Other Items. Except for the Exterior Signs, any signs, notices, logos, pictures, names or advertisements which are installed and that have not been individually approved by Landlord may be removed upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice by Landlord to Tenant at the sole expense of Tenant. Tenant shall also have the right to hang professionally prepared signs in the windows of the Premises, and place electronic screens and monitors in the Premises which may be visible from outside the Premises without Landlord’s approval. Other than as specifically permitted in Section 22.1 above, Tenant may not install under this Lease any signs on the exterior or roof of the Retail Area or in the Common Areas of the Retail Area or the Real Property. Any signs (other than the Exterior 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 (other than Alterations, the standard of approval for which shall be governed by the provisions of Section 8.1) are subject to the prior approval of Landlord acting reasonably and in good faith based upon standards generally employed by Comparable Landlords for comparable retail projects (except that Landlord may withhold such approval in its sole discretion with respect to any signs, window coverings or blinds which are visible from the exterior of the Building other than Building standard window coverings or blinds); provided, however, Landlord hereby approves of Tenant’s signs, window coverings and blinds that are currently visible from the exterior of the Premises or Building as of the date of this Lease.
22.3 Transferability of Exterior Signs. Except as expressly set forth below in this Section 22.3, the rights to the Exterior Signs pursuant to Section 22.1 above or any replacement name for the Original Tenant or any Qualified Transferee described hereinbelow are personal to the original Tenant executing this Lease (the “Original Tenant”) and when appropriate, any Qualified Transferee, and may not be transferred by the Original Tenant and when appropriate, any Qualified Transferee, or used by anyone else, and the name and accompanying logo on the Exterior Signs may not be changed, except as otherwise provided
- 60 -


herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Tenant’s compliance with the conditions set forth in clauses (1) and (2) hereinbelow, the Original Tenant and when appropriate, any Qualified Transferee, shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to: (i) transfer its rights to the Exterior Signs to a Qualified Transferee in connection with and as part of a Transfer to a Qualified Transferee, and change the name and accompanying logo on the Exterior Signs to reflect the name and accompanying logo of such Qualified Transferee so long as such changed name and logo are the same name and logo on all Exterior Signs and are the only name and logo on each the Exterior Signs; and (ii) in the event the Original Tenant (or such Qualified Transferee to which the Exterior Signs right has been transferred pursuant to clause (i) hereinabove) changes its company name, to change the name and accompanying logo on the Exterior Signs to reflect such applicable company name change. In connection with and as a condition precedent to any such transfer of Tenant’s rights to the Exterior Signs to a Qualified Transferee and/or any such name and/or logo changes described hereinabove, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any such changes, which reimbursement shall be made within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s invoices therefor; and (2) any name and/or logo changes on the Exterior Signs to reflect the identity of any Qualified Transferee pursuant to clause (i) hereinabove or any such name change pursuant to clause (ii) hereinabove shall: (x) be subject to Landlord’s prior approval, which shall not be withheld so long as such name and logo changes do not constitute Objectionable Names/Logos (as defined in Section 22.4 below); and (y) not result in an increase in the size of the Exterior Signs.
22.4 Certain Definitions. As used herein, a “Qualified Transferee” shall mean any Affiliate that is an assignee of Tenant’s entire interest in this Lease. As used herein, a “Prohibited Sign” shall mean any sign which relates to an entity that is associated with sexism (e.g., Chippendales, Hooters, Playboy, Hustler, etc.), racism (e.g., the Ku Klux Klan, the Nazi Party, etc.), or sexual performance or hygiene products. As used herein, the term “Objectionable Names/Logos” shall mean any name or logo which: (1) relates to an entity which is of a character or reputation, or is associated with a political orientation or faction, which is inconsistent with the quality of the Retail Area as a first-class retail project that is part of a first-class office building project, or which would otherwise reasonably offend a landlord of a comparable retail project, including, without limitation, any Prohibited Signs; or (2) relates to an entity that (x) would not be considered of a character, reputation or stature that is generally comparable with companies that have comparable exterior signage on the comparable retail projects that are part of first-class office building projects owned or controlled by KBS Realty, Hines, Brookfield Properties, Thomas Properties or Shorenstein Company or any of their respective affiliates (collectively, the “Comparable Landlords”), or (y) is a law firm or securities brokerage firm; or (3) would violate any restrictions on signs or Building name changes currently set forth in the Signage Restrictions. For purposes of this Section 22.4, the phrase “controlled by” shall mean the ultimate control over all of the ownership, operational and managerial decisions regarding the assets of the owner.
23. Compliance with Law.
Tenant shall not do anything or suffer anything to be done in or about the Premises 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,
- 61 -


applicable to the Premises or the use or occupancy thereof. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, at its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with all such laws to the extent that such laws relate to the Premises and/or Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises, including, without limitation, the making of any alterations and/or improvements to the Premises, but the foregoing shall not modify the provisions of Section 1.3 above regarding ADA compliance, Section 5.4 above regarding the Excluded Hazardous Materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord shall be responsible, as part of Operating Expenses to the extent permitted under Article 4 of this Lease, for making all alterations and improvements required by applicable laws with respect to the items which are Landlord’s responsibility to repair and maintain pursuant to Section 7.1 of this Lease; provided, however, that Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within thirty (30) days after invoice, for the costs of any such improvements and alterations and other compliance costs to the extent necessitated by or resulting from (i) any Alterations or Tenant Improvements installed by or on behalf of Tenant (but this clause (i) shall not modify or otherwise affect (A) Landlord’s obligations to perform, and pay for the costs (which shall not be included in Operating Expenses) of, the Landlord Improvements as provided in Section 1 of the Tenant Work Letter, or (B) the provisions of Section 5.4 above which limit Tenant’s liability regarding the Excluded Hazardous Materials), or (C) Landlord’s obligation to maintain the Building and Real Property in compliance with all laws, (ii) the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Parties that is not covered by insurance obtained, or required to be obtained by, Landlord as part of Operating Expenses and as to which the waiver of subrogation applies, and/or (iii) Tenant’s specific manner of use of the Premises for other than general banking retail uses.
24. Late Charges.
Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Landlord by the terms of any mortgage, deed of trust, or ground or underlying lease covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within five (5) business days after notice of Tenant’s failure to pay such amount, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount; provided, however, that the first (1st) late charge in any consecutive twelve (12) month period shall not exceed $500.00, and no late charge may be assessed unless a notice of, and invoice for, such assessment is sent to Tenant within sixty (60) days after such failure to pay occurs. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment of Rent by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. The late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent and the right to require it shall be in addition to all of 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 within ten (10) days after notice of such failure to pay such amounts shall thereafter bear interest until paid at the Interest Rate.

- 62 -


25. Entry by Landlord.
Landlord reserves the right at all reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice (but no less than one (1) business day, except in the case of emergencies or to perform regularly scheduled services) to the Tenant to enter the Premises to: (i) inspect them; (ii) show the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or ground or underlying lessors, or, during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, to prospective tenants; (iii) post notices of non-responsibility; (iv) alter, improve or repair the Premises or the Retail Area if necessary to comply with current building codes or other applicable laws, or for structural alterations, repairs or improvements to the Premises Retail Area; or (v) perform services or other obligations required of Landlord under this Lease which are other than regularly scheduled services and/or maintenance obligations. The parties further agree that neither Landlord nor any of Landlord’s employees, invitees, licensees, tenants, third parties or assigns, shall be permitted any access to the Premises unless reasonably coordinated with Tenant upon not less than one (1) business day prior written notice, except in the event of an emergency, in which case no prior notice is required, but shall be given as soon as reasonably practicable accompanied with a reasonable written explanation of the reason for access. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 25, Landlord may enter the Premises at any time to (A) perform regularly scheduled services and/or maintenance obligations required of Landlord under this Lease; and (B) perform, in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, any covenants of Tenant which Tenant fails to perform. Any such entries shall be without the abatement of Rent, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 19.8.2 of this Lease, and shall include the right to take such reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated purposes; provided, however, that any such entry shall be accomplished as expeditiously as reasonably possible and in a manner so as to cause as little interference to Tenant as reasonably possible. Subject to the provisions of Section 19.8.2 of this Lease, Tenant hereby waives any claims for damages or for any injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, lost profits, or any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises in connection with any entry by Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Article 25. 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 so long as Landlord repairs any damage caused thereby and notice is given as soon as reasonably practicable accompanied with a reasonable written explanation of the reason for access. Any entry into the Premises in the mariner 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. Tenant may, after reasonable prior notice to and consultation with Landlord, reasonably designate certain areas of the Premises as “Secured Areas” should Tenant require such areas for the purpose of securing certain valuable property or confidential information. Landlord may only enter such Secured Areas upon three (3) business days’ notice to Tenant which notice shall specify the date and time of such entry by Landlord (and Tenant shall have the right to escort Landlord); provided, however, that Landlord may enter the Secured Areas without notice to Tenant and without escort in the event of an emergency, in which case Landlord shall provide Tenant with notice of such entry promptly thereafter.

- 63 -


26. Tenant Parking
26.1 Privileges; Operator. Tenant shall rent, on a monthly basis throughout the Lease Term, the number of unreserved vehicle parking privileges and non-executive reserved vehicle parking privileges set forth in Section 16 of the Summary to park in the Building Parking Area (the “Building Parking Area Passes”). All of the parking privileges leased by Tenant pursuant to this Article 26 shall be provided by Landlord, or at the option of Landlord, by a parking operator designated by Landlord (the “Operator”).
26.2 Parking Charges. Tenant shall pay to Landlord (or to the Operator) for the use of such parking privileges so leased by Tenant pursuant to this Article 26, on a monthly basis throughout the Lease Term, the prevailing monthly parking rates charged from time to time by Landlord (or the Operator) for unreserved parking privileges within the Building Parking Area (plus applicable parking taxes), which is currently $262.65 per unreserved vehicle parking privilege. However, in no event shall the monthly parking rate for unreserved parking privileges charged to Tenant under this Lease exceed the monthly parking rate for unreserved parking privileges charged to Tenant under the Office Lease.
26.3 General. Subject to Tenant’s rights under Section 26.1 and 26. 2, Landlord (or the Operator) may assign any unreserved and unassigned parking privileges and/or make all or a portion of such parking privileges reserved or institute an attendant assisted tandem parking program and/or valet parking program if it determines in its sole discretion that such is necessary for orderly and efficient parking. Tenant shall not use more parking spaces than the number of parking privileges provided to Tenant pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article 26. Tenant shall not use any parking spaces which have been specifically assigned to other tenants or for other uses such as visitor parking or which have been designated by governmental entities with competent jurisdiction as being restricted to certain uses. Tenant’s continued right to use the parking privileges provided in this Article 26 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 Building Parking Area and upon Tenant’s cooperation in seeing that Tenant’s employees and visitors also comply with such rules and regulations. Subject to Tenant’s rights under Section 26.1 and 26.2, Landlord specifically reserves the right to change (or cause to be changed) the size, configuration, design, layout, location and all other aspects of the Building Parking Area, and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may, without incurring any liability to Tenant and without any abatement of Rent under this Lease (except as expressly provided otherwise herein), from time to time, close-off or restrict (or cause to be closed off or restricted) access to the Building Parking Area, or relocate (or cause to be relocated) Tenant’s parking privileges to other parking structures and/or surface parking areas within a reasonable distance of the Premises, for purposes of permitting or facilitating any such construction, alteration or improvements with respect to the Building Parking Area or to accommodate or facilitate renovation, alteration, construction or other modification of other improvements or structures located on the Real Property.
26.4 Visitor Parking. Landlord shall maintain a visitor parking area for a size not smaller than that customarily maintained by the landlords of the Comparable Buildings, for use during the Business Hours by customers and visitors of Tenant and the other retail tenants in the Retail Area. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that, as of the date of the Lease,
- 64 -


Landlord is maintaining a visitor parking area in compliance with the forgoing sentence. Landlord shall have the right to utilize attendant parking with respect to any or all of the visitor parking described in this Section 27.5.
26.5 Reserved Retail Space/Minimum Validations. Provided that Tenant purchases, or agrees to purchase, a minimum of Eight Thousand Two Hundred Fifty and No/100ths Dollars ($8,250.00) worth of validations every three (3) calendar months (each, a “Validation Period”) on a non-cumulative basis from Landlord (“Minimum Validations”), Tenant shall be permitted to convert and maintain, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, the three (3) visitor parking spaces designated as Area D in the depiction attached hereto as Exhibit “J” into reserved parking spaces specifically for the use of Tenant's retail banking customers (each, a “Retail Space” and collectively, the “Retail Spaces”); provided, however, that Landlord shall have the right to relocate the Retail Spaces to other spaces in the Building Parking Area reasonably acceptable to Tenant from time-to-time by delivering to Tenant not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of such relocation. If Tenant fails to purchase the Minimum Validations during any Validation Period, then Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the number of validations which Tenant must purchase in order to satisfy the Minimum Validations requirement for such Validation Period (the “Shortfall Notice”). Tenant shall have thirty (30) days after the Shortfall Notice within which to purchase validations sufficient to meet the Minimum Validation requirement for such Validation Period. If Tenant fails to purchase the requisite validations on or before the expiration of the thirty (30) day period after the Shortfall Notice, then at Landlord's option, Tenant's rights to said Retail Spaces shall terminate. Tenant hereby accepts the Retail Spaces in their “AS-IS” condition; provided, however, Tenant may, upon Landlords prior written consent, and at Tenant's sole cost and expense, add signage or other marking identifying such spaces for the use of its retail customers, subject to Landlord's reasonable approval as to the content, materials, colors, lettering and method of application. Subject to the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant may designate such reasonable rules and regulations governing its customers' use of such Retail Spaces, including maximum time limits for the use thereof; provided, however, in no event shall Landlord be liable for such rules and regulations, including the enforcement thereof. The Minimum Validations purchase requirement amount shall be increased to Ten Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($10,000.00) on the first day of the Option Term, and shall be applicable during the first and second Option Terms (if applicable).
27. Safety and Security Devices, Services and Programs.
The parties acknowledge that safety and security devices, services and programs provided by Landlord, if any, while intended to deter crime and ensure safety, may not in given instances prevent theft or other criminal acts, or ensure safety of persons or property. The risk that any safety or security device, service or program may not be effective, or may malfunction, or be circumvented by a criminal, is assumed by Tenant with respect to Tenant’s property and interests, and Tenant shall obtain insurance coverage to the extent Tenant desires protection against such criminal acts and other losses, as further described in Article 10 above. Tenant agrees to cooperate in any reasonable safety or security program developed by Landlord at no cost to Tenant or required by applicable Laws.

- 65 -


Tenant shall have the right to establish or install any automated and/or nonautomated security system in, on or about the Premises (including on the exterior of Tenant’s suite doors, and all door hardware servicing the Premises). Tenant shall first notify Landlord of Tenant’s plan for any such system, and Landlord shall review the plan and approve said plan if such installation will not materially and adversely affect the building structure and/or building systems. Upon the expiration of the term of the Lease, Tenant shall not be required to remove such security system unless Tenant exercises its right to terminate the Lease under Rider No. 4, or if Landlord terminates the Lease due to a Tenant Event of Default, then Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, remove such security system and repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
28. Communications and Computer Lines.
Subject to Tenant’s rights in Section 1.1, Tenant may install, maintain, replace, remove or use any communications or computer wires, cables and related devices (collectively the “Lines”) at the Real Property in or serving the Premises, provided: (i) Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior written consent for the installation of the same, use an experienced and qualified contractor reasonably approved in writing by Landlord, and comply with all of the other provisions of Article 8 above; (ii) any such installation, maintenance, replacement, removal or use shall comply with all Laws applicable thereto and good work practices, and shall not interfere with the use of any then existing Lines at the Real Property; (iii) an acceptable number of spare Lines and space for additional Lines shall be maintained for existing and future occupants of the Real Property, as determined in Landlord’s reasonable opinion; (iv) if Tenant at any time uses any equipment that may create an electromagnetic field exceeding the normal insulation ratings of ordinary twisted pair riser cable or cause radiation higher than normal background radiation, the Lines therefor (including riser cables) shall be appropriately insulated to prevent such excessive electromagnetic fields or radiation; (v) Tenant’s rights shall be subject to the rights of any regulated telephone company; and (vi) Tenant shall pay all costs in connection therewith as to its Lines. Landlord shall at all times maintain exclusive control over all risers (including, without limitation, their use) located at the Real Property. Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant remove any Lines located in or serving the Premises which are installed in violation of these provisions, or which are at any time in violation of any Laws or represent a dangerous or potentially dangerous condition (whether such Lines were installed by Tenant or any other party), within three (3) days after written notice.
At Landlord’s sole cost and expense, and in no event shall Tenant’s Lines be reduced, Landlord may (but shall not have the obligation to): (A) install new Lines at the Real Property; (B) create additional space for Lines at the Real Property; and (C) reasonably direct, monitor and/or supervise the installation, maintenance, replacement and removal of, the allocation and periodic re-allocation of available space (if any) for, and the allocation of excess capacity (if any) on, any Lines now or hereafter installed at the Real Property by Landlord, Tenant or any other party (but Landlord shall have no right to monitor or control the information transmitted through such Lines). Such rights shall not be in limitation of other rights that may be available to Landlord by Law or otherwise.
Tenant shall have no obligation to remove any Lines installed by or for Tenant within or serving the Premises upon termination of this Lease unless Tenant exercises its right to

terminate the Lease under Rider No. 4, or if Landlord terminates the Lease due to a Tenant Event of Default, in which case Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, remove such Lines upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. Any Lines not required to be removed pursuant to this Article 28 shall, at Landlord’s option, become the property of Landlord (without payment by Landlord). If Tenant fails to remove such Lines as required in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence,, Landlord may, after twenty (20) days written notice to Tenant, remove such Lines or remedy such other violation, at Tenant’s expense (without limiting Landlord’s other remedies available under this Lease or applicable Laws). Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, grant to any third party a security interest or lien in or on the Lines, and any such security interest or lien granted without Landlord’s written consent shall be null and void. Except to the extent arising from the intentional or negligent acts of Landlord or Landlord’s agents or employees, Landlord shall have no liability for damages arising from, and Landlord does not warrant that Tenant’s use of any Lines will be free from the following (collectively called “Line Problems”): (1) any eavesdropping or wire-tapping by unauthorized parties, (2) any failure of any Lines to satisfy Tenant’s requirements, or (3) any shortages, failures, variations, interruptions, disconnections, loss or damage caused by the installation, maintenance, replacement, use or removal of Lines by or for other tenants or occupants at the Real Property, by any failure of the environmental conditions or the power supply for the Real Property to conform to any requirements for the Lines or any associated equipment, or any other problems associated with any Lines by any other cause. Under no circumstances shall any Line Problems be deemed an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, render Landlord liable to Tenant for abatement of Rent, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord in no event shall be liable for damages by reason of loss of profits, business interruption or other consequential damage arising from any Line Problems. The provisions of this Article 28 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
29. Miscellaneous Provisions.

29.2 Binding Effect. Each of the provisions of this Lease shall extend to and shall, as the case may require, bind or inure to the benefit not only of Landlord and of Tenant, but also of their respective successors or assigns, provided this clause shall not permit any assignment by Tenant contrary to the provisions of Article 14 above.
29.3 No Air Rights. No rights to any view or to light or air over any property, whether belonging to Landlord or any other person, are granted to Tenant by this Lease.

29.4 Modification of Lease. Should any current or prospective mortgagee or ground lessor for the Building or Real Property require a modification or modifications of this Lease, which modification or modifications will not cause an increased cost or expense to Tenant or in any other way materially and adversely change the rights and obligations of Tenant hereunder, then and in such event, Tenant agrees that this Lease may be so modified and agrees to execute whatever commercially reasonable documents are required therefor and deliver the same to Landlord within twenty (20) days following the request therefor. Should Landlord or any such current or prospective mortgagee or ground lessor require execution of a short form of Lease for recording, containing, among other customary provisions, the names of the parties, a description of the Premises and the Lease Term, Tenant agrees to execute such short form of Lease and to deliver the same to Landlord within ten (10) business 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 Real Property, the Retail Area and Building and in this Lease. Tenant agrees that in the event of any such transfer, conditioned upon written agreement of the transferee to be bound by this Lease and to assume all of Landlord’s obligations hereunder arising after the effective date of such transfer Landlord shall automatically be released from all liability under this Lease, other than with respect to obligations of Landlord which arose prior to the effective date of such transfer, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such transferee for the performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder arising after the effective date of such transfer. Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord may assign its interest in this Lease to a mortgage lender as additional security and agrees that such an assignment shall not release Landlord from its obligations hereunder and that Tenant shall continue to look to Landlord for the performance of its obligations hereunder.

29.9 Relationship of Parties. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto or by any third party to create the relationship of principal and agent, partnership, joint venturer or any association between Landlord and Tenant, it being expressly understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of Rent nor any act of the parties hereto shall be deemed to create any relationship between Landlord and Tenant other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.
29.10 Application of Payments. Landlord shall have the right to apply payments received from Tenant pursuant to this Lease, regardless of Tenant’s designation of such payments, to satisfy any obligations of Tenant hereunder, in such order and amounts as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may elect.

29.13 No Warranty. In executing and delivering this Lease, Tenant has not relied on any representation, including, but not limited to, any representation whatsoever 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.
29.14 Landlord Exculpation. It is expressly understood and agreed that notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, and notwithstanding any applicable law to the contrary, the liability of Landlord and any successor to Landlord hereunder and any recourse by Tenant against Landlord and any successor to Landlord under this Lease (but not including any claim against Landlord and any successor to Landlord for tortious conduct separate and apart from a breach by Landlord and any successor to Landlord of its obligations hereunder) shall be limited solely and exclusively to the interest of Landlord and, if applicable, any successor to Landlord, in and to the Real Property, Retail Area and Building and any rents and profits, condemnation awards, and any insurance proceeds with respect to insurance carried by Landlord or, if applicable, any successor to Landlord, as part of Direct Expenses, and neither Landlord, nor any of its successors in ownership of the Real Property and the Building, its and their constituent partners or members (or subpartners or submembers), 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 provision contained in the preceding sentence is not intended to and will not limit any right that Tenant might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against Landlord and any successor to Landlord or to pursue any suit or action in connection with enforcement or collection of amounts that may become owing or payable under or on account of insurance maintained by Landlord and any successor to Landlord.
29.15 Entire Agreement. It is understood and acknowledged that there are no oral agreements between the parties hereto affecting this Lease and this Lease 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. This Lease (including the exhibits and riders which are attached hereto and constitute an integral part of this Lease) contains all of the terms, covenants, conditions, warranties and agreements of the parties relating in any manner to the rental, use and occupancy of the

Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such other tenancies in the Building, Retail Area and Real Property as Landlord in the exercise of its sole business judgment shall determine to best promote the interests of the Building, Retail Area and Real Property. Tenant does not rely on the fact, nor does Landlord represent, that any specific tenant or type or number of tenants shall, during the Lease Term, occupy any space in the Building, Retail Area or Real Property.
29.17 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, “Force Majeure Events”), 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 Event.
29.18 Waiver of Redemption by Tenant. Tenant hereby waives for Tenant and for all those claiming under Tenant all right 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.

29.24 Asbestos-Containing Construction Materials. Tenant acknowledges that it has been notified by Landlord that certain fire-proofing and other materials used in the construction of the Real Property contain asbestos and other hazardous substances (collectively “Asbestos”). In accordance with Proposition 65 and the regulations promulgated thereunder (California Health and Safety Code Sections 25249.6 et seq.) which require that persons subject to “environmental exposure” to certain designated chemicals, such as asbestos, receive warnings, Tenant acknowledges being advised that:
WARNING: THE REAL PROPERTY CONTAINS ASBESTOS, A CHEMICAL KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER.
Tenant also acknowledges that Landlord has promulgated building regulations and procedures governing the manner in which Tenant may undertake alterations, additions, modifications and improvements to the Premises in those areas where asbestos-containing materials may be located, and such regulations and procedures may be modified, amended or supplemented from time to time. Prior to undertaking any physical work in or around the Premises, Tenant shall notify Landlord, in writing, of the exact nature and location of the proposed work and shall promptly supply such additional information regarding the proposed work as Landlord shall request. After receipt of Tenant’s notice, Landlord shall, to the extent appropriate, supply Tenant with the Real Property’s regulations and procedures for working in areas where there is a risk of coming into contact with asbestos-containing materials. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, strictly comply with all such commercially reasonable regulations and procedures established by Landlord and with all applicable governmental statutes, ordinances, codes, rules, regulations, controls and guidelines. Landlord shall have the right at all times to monitor the work for compliance with the Real Property’s regulations and procedures and any applicable local, state or federal Laws. If Landlord determines that any applicable Laws or any regulations and/or procedures of the Real Property are not being strictly complied with, Landlord may immediately require the cessation of all work being performed in or around the Premises until such time as Landlord is satisfied that the applicable Laws and procedures will be observed. Landlord’s monitoring of any work in or around the Premises shall not be deemed a certification by Landlord of compliance with any applicable statute, ordinance, code, rule or regulation or a waiver by Landlord of its right to require strict compliance with such Laws and procedures of the Real Property, nor shall such monitoring relieve Tenant from any liabilities relating to such work.
If any governmental entity promulgates or revises a statute, ordinance, code, rule or regulation, or imposes mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines with respect to such asbestos-containing materials or if Landlord otherwise so elects, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, comply with such voluntary controls or guidelines, or elect to make such alterations or remove such asbestos-containing materials. Landlord shall comply, at Landlord’s sole cost,
- 73 -


with any mandatory requirement. Except as otherwise provided herein, such compliance or the making of alterations, and the removal of all or a portion of such asbestos-containing materials, whether in the Premises or elsewhere in the Real Property, shall not, in any event constitute a breach by Landlord of any provision of this Lease, relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay any Rent due under this Lease, constitute or be construed as a constructive or other eviction of Tenant, or constitute or be construed as a breach of Tenant’s quiet enjoyment.
29.25 Governing Law. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
29.26 Submission of Lease. Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or an option for lease, and it is not effective as a lease or otherwise until execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.
29.27 Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each hereby represents and warrants to the other party that it has had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Lease, excepting only the real estate brokers or agents specified in Section 12 of the Summary (the “Brokers”), and that it knows of no other real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with this Lease. Each party agrees to indemnify and defend the other party against and hold the other party harmless from any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, and costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing in connection with this Lease on account of the indemnifying party’s dealings with any real estate broker or agent other than the Brokers. Landlord shall pay Brokers a commission based on a separate written agreement(s).
29.28 Independent Covenants. This Lease shall be construed as though the covenants herein between Landlord and Tenant are independent and not dependent and Tenant hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute to the contrary and agrees that if Landlord fails to perform its obligations set forth herein, except as otherwise provided herein, Tenant shall not be entitled to make any repairs or perform any acts hereunder at Landlord’s expense or to any setoff of the Rent or other amounts owing hereunder against Landlord; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way impair the right of Tenant to commence a separate action against Landlord for any violation by Landlord of the provisions hereof so long as notice is first given to Landlord and any holder of a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Building, Real Property or any portion thereof, of whose address Tenant has theretofore been notified, and an opportunity is granted to Landlord and such holder to correct such violations as provided above.
29.29 Building Name and Signage. Subject to the terms and conditions in the Office Lease, Landlord shall have the right at any time to change the name of the Building and Real Property and to install, affix and maintain any and all signs on the exterior and on the interior of the Building or Real Property as Landlord may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, desire.

29.32 Confidentiality. Landlord and Tenant each agree that the terms of this Lease are confidential and constitute proprietary information of the parties hereto.

- 76 -

In no event shall Tenant be permitted to utilize more than one-half (1/2) of the area of the Building roof available for its Telecommunication Equipment.
29.37 Limitation on Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, nothing in this Lease shall impose any obligation upon Tenant or Landlord to be responsible or liable for, and each hereby releases the other from all liability for, lost profits or other consequential damages.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions
- 79 -


contained in this Lease, Tenant shall not be required to obtain the consent of Landlord for matters relating to the exercise by Tenant of its right to make repairs (which Landlord failed to make) pursuant to Section 7.2 of this Lease, provided that Tenant shall act reasonably with respect to all such matters and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 7.2 of this Lease.
29.39 Contingency. This Lease is conditioned on the full execution of that certain Amended and Restated Office Lease between Landlord and Tenant for the lease of office space within the Building (the “Office Lease”).

LANDLORD WORK LETTER
1. LANDLORD IMPROVEMENTS. Landlord shall construct and pay for the entire cost (at its sole cost and expense and not as part of Operating Expenses) of constructing the Building improvements (“Landlord Improvements”) described by the plans and specifications identified in Schedule “1” attached hereto (the “Plans”). Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that Landlord has completed a refinance of the Building with Bank of America, N.A., in March, 2018, and the loan proceeds from such refinance are sufficient to cover the cost of the Landlord Improvements.
2. CONSTRUCTION OF LANDLORD IMPROVEMENTS. Landlord’s contractor shall commence and diligently proceed with the construction of the Landlord Improvements. Promptly upon the commencement of the Landlord Improvements, Landlord may furnish Tenant with a construction schedule letter setting forth the projected completion dates therefor and showing the reasonably obtainable deadlines for any actions required to be taken by Tenant (provided the same are with the terms and conditions of this Lease) during such construction, and Landlord may from time to time during construction of the Landlord Improvements reasonably modify such schedule. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Landlord Improvements by October 1, 2020.
3. SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION. The Landlord Improvements shall be deemed to be “substantially completed” when Landlord has delivered written notice to Tenant that Landlord has completed the Landlord Improvements in accordance with the Plans, other than (i) decoration and minor “punch-list” type items and adjustments which do not materially interfere with Tenant’s access to or use of the Building, and (ii) those minor items which can be completed within thirty (30) days. Within ten (10) days after such substantial completion, Tenant shall conduct a walk-through inspection of the Building with Landlord and provide to Landlord a written punch-list specifying those decoration and other punch-list items which require completion, which items Landlord shall thereafter diligently complete; provided, however, that Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for the remediation of any items on the punch-list caused by Tenant’s wrongful acts or omissions. In the event the Premises is not delivered with the Landlord Improvements substantially completed by January 31, 2021 (the “Outside Delivery Date”), which Outside Delivery Date shall be subject to extension for each day of Tenant Delays and Force Majeure Delays, Tenant shall receive a day for day monthly Base Rent credit to be applied following the Lease Commencement Date for each day the Landlord Improvements are not substantially completed and the Premises is not delivered to Tenant after the Outside Delivery Date.
4. TENANT DELAYS. For purposes of this Work Letter, “Tenant Delays” shall mean any delay in the completion of the Landlord Improvements resulting from any or all of the following: (a) Tenant’s failure to timely perform any of its obligations pursuant to this Work Letter, including any failure to complete, on or before the due date therefor, any action item which is Tenant’s responsibility pursuant to the any schedule delivered by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Landlord Work Letter as provided above; or (b) any other wrongful act or failure
Exhibit B-1-1


to act by Tenant, Tenant’s employees, agents, architects, independent contractors, consultants and/or any other person performing or required to perform services on behalf of Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Tenant Delay shall not be deemed to have occurred unless and until Landlord provides Tenant written notice of such delay, and Tenant fails to cure such delay within two (2) business days of its receipt of written notice.
5. FORCE MAJEURE DELAYS. For purposes of this Landlord Work Letter, “Force Majeure Delays” shall mean any actual delay beyond the reasonable control of Landlord in the construction of the Landlord Improvements, which is not a Tenant Delay and which is caused by any of the causes described in Section 29.17 of the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant has the ability to cure a Force Majeure Delay, then a Force Majeure Delay shall not be deemed to have occurred unless and until Landlord provides Tenant written notice of such delay at the time such delay is occurring, and Tenant is unable to cure such delay within two (2) business days of its receipt of written notice; provided, however, Landlord shall have no requirement to deliver such notice and provide a cure period to Tenant if the nature of the Force Majeure Delay is such that it cannot be cured by Tenant (e.g., an act of God, natural disaster, etc.). However, Landlord shall within a reasonable time of the occurrence, notify Tenant of such Force Majeure Delay.

Prior to commencing construction, Tenant will deliver to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and reasonable approval, a schedule (“Work Schedule”), which will set forth the timetable for the planning and completion of the installation of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant may from time to time during construction of the Tenant Improvements reasonably modify such Work Schedule.

Landlord shall deliver engineering plans to Tenant for the Premises and area immediately surrounding the Premises on or before December 1, 2019, subject to extension due to delays caused by Force Majeure Events. In accordance with the Work Schedule, Landlord agrees to meet with Tenant’s architect and/or space planner for the purpose of promptly reviewing preliminary space plans for the layout of the Premises prepared by Tenant (“Space Plans”). The Space Plans are to be sufficient to convey the architectural design of the Premises and layout of the Tenant Improvements therein and are to be submitted to Landlord by notice in accordance with the Lease. If Landlord reasonably disapproves any aspect of the Space Plans because a Design Problem exists, Landlord will advise Tenant in writing of such disapproval and the reasons therefor. Tenant will then submit to Landlord for Landlord’s
Exhibit B-2-1


approval a redesign of the Space Plans incorporating the revisions reasonably required by Landlord to the extent necessary to eliminate the Design Problem.
(b) Preparation of Final Plans. Tenant’s architect will prepare complete architectural plans, drawings and specifications and complete engineered mechanical, structural and electrical working drawings for all of the Tenant Improvements for the Premises (collectively, the “Final Plans”). The Final Plans will show (a) the subdivision (including partitions and walls), layout, lighting, finish and decoration work (including carpeting and other floor coverings) for the Premises; (b) all internal and external communications and utility facilities which will require conduiting or other improvements from the base Retail Area shell work and/or within common areas; and (c) all other specifications for the Tenant Improvements. The Final Plans will be submitted to Landlord for signature to confirm that no Design Problem or deviation from the Standards exists. If Landlord reasonably disapproves any aspect of the Final Plans because a Design Problem or deviation from the Standards exists, Landlord agrees to advise Tenant in writing of such disapproval and the reasons why a Design Problem or deviation from the Standards exists. To the extent a Design Problem or deviation from the Standards exists, Tenant will then cause Tenant’s architect to redesign the Final Plans incorporating the revisions reasonably requested by Landlord so as to eliminate the Design Problem or deviation from the Standards. Concurrently with Landlord’s approval of the Final Plans, Landlord will identify those portions of the Tenant Improvements that are Specialty Improvements (as hereinafter defined), if any, that Landlord will require Tenant to remove upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, and Tenant shall remove such portions of the Tenant Improvements upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease subject to and only to the extent required by the terms and conditions of the Lease. “Specialty Improvements” means any alterations or improvements other than normal and customary general office improvements typically installed in a retail bank branch. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Specialty Improvements” (i) shall not include conference rooms or training space and (ii) shall include (a) any alterations or improvements which affect the base Building, (b) any fitness facility in the Premises, (c) any kitchens, showers, restrooms, washrooms or similar facilities in the Premises that are not part of the base Building, and (d) any private/internal stairways in the Premises. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its approval with respect to what Specialty Improvements Landlord may require Tenant to remove at the expiration of the Lease.

Tenant’s Final Plans will include locations and complete dimensions, and the Tenant Improvements, as shown on the Final Plans, will: (i) be compatible with the Retail Area shell and with the design, construction and equipment of the Retail Area; (ii) if not comprised of the Retail Area standards set forth in the written description thereof (the “Standards”), then compatible with and of at least equal quality as the Standards and approved by Landlord; (iii) comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction, and all applicable insurance regulations; and (iv) not require Retail Area service beyond the level normally provided to other tenants in the Retail Area unless Tenant agrees to pay for and absorb such extra costs and will not overload the Retail Area floors.
(d) Submittal of Final Plans. Once approved by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s architect will submit the Final Plans to the appropriate governmental agencies for plan checking and the issuance of a building permit. Tenant’s architect, with Landlord’s cooperation, will make any
Exhibit B-2-2


changes to the Final Plans which are requested by the applicable governmental authorities to obtain the building permit. After approval of the Final Plans no further changes may be made without the prior written approval of Landlord, which may only be withheld to the extent a Design Problem or failure to comply with Section 5(c) requirements exists.
(e) Changes to Shell of Retail Area. If the Final Plans or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto shall require changes in the Retail Area shell, the increased cost of the Retail Area shell work caused by such changes will be paid for by Tenant or charged against the “Allowance” described in Section 5 below.
(f) Work Cost Estimate and Statement. Prior to the commencement of construction of any of the Tenant Improvements shown on the Final Plans, Tenant will submit to Landlord a written estimate of the cost to complete the Tenant Improvement Work, which written estimate will be based on the Final Plans taking into account any modifications which may be required to reflect changes in the Final Plans required by the City or County of Los Angeles (the “Work Cost Estimate”).

(k) Approval of Plans. Landlord will not check Tenant drawings for building code compliance.

(o) Landlord’s Performance of Work. Within ten (10) business days after receipt of Landlord’s notice of Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Tenant Work Letter, if Tenant shall fail to commence to cure such failure, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform, on behalf of and for the account of Tenant, subject to reimbursement of the cost thereof by Tenant, any and all of Tenant’s Work which Landlord determines, in its reasonable discretion, should be performed immediately and on an emergency basis for the best interest of the Premises including, without limitation, work which pertains to structural

Exhibit B-2-12

EXTENSION OPTION RIDER
This Rider No. 1 is made and entered into by and between KBSII 445 SOUTH FIGUEROA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and MUFG UNION BANK, N.A., a national association (“Tenant”), as of the day and year of the Lease between Landlord and Tenant to which this Rider is attached. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the provisions set forth below shall be deemed to be part of the Lease and shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of the Lease. All references in the Lease and in this Rider to the “Lease” shall be construed to mean the Lease (and all exhibits and Riders attached thereto), as amended and supplemented by this Rider. All capitalized terms not defined in this Rider shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Lease.
1. Subject to Rider No. 3 entitled, “Options In General”, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant two (2) options (the “Extension Options”) to extend the Lease Term for two (2) additional periods of five (5) years each (the “Option Terms”), on the same terms, covenants and conditions as provided for in the Lease during the initial Term, except for the Base Rent, which shall initially be equal to the “fair market rental rate” for the Premises for the Option Term as defined and determined in accordance with the provisions of the Fair Market Rental Rate Rider attached to the Lease as Rider No. 2, subject to fair market annual rent adjustments during the Option Term. All references in the Lease to “Term” or “Lease Term” shall unless expressly stated otherwise, include any validly exercised option Term.
2. An Extension Option must be exercised, if at all, by written notice (“Extension Notice”) delivered by Tenant to Landlord no sooner than that date which is twelve (12) months and no later than that date which is nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then current Lease Term. An Extension Option shall, at Landlord’s sole option, not be deemed to be properly exercised if, at the time the Extension Option is exercised or on the scheduled commencement date for the Option Term, Tenant has (a) committed an uncured event of default whose cure period has expired pursuant to Section 19 of the Lease, or (b) assigned all or any portion of the Lease or its interest therein other than to a Qualified Assignee. Provided Tenant has properly and timely exercised the Extension Option, the then current Lease Term shall be extended by the Option Term, and all terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect, except that the Base Rent shall be as set forth above, and except that the number of remaining Extension Options (if any) shall be reduced by one. In the event Tenant elects to give back a portion of the Premises, Tenant’s proportionate share of its parking rights shall be reduced.
Rider No. 1-1


RIDER NO. 2 TO LEASE
FAIR MARKET RENTAL RATE RIDER
This Rider No. 2 is made and entered into by and between KBSII 445 SOUTH FIGUEROA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and MUFG UNION BANK, N.A., a national association (“Tenant”), as of the day and year of the Lease between Landlord and Tenant to which this Rider is attached. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the provisions set forth below shall be deemed to be part of the Lease and shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of the Lease. All references in the Lease and in this Rider to the “Lease” shall be construed to mean the Lease (and all exhibits and Riders attached thereto), as amended and supplemented by this Rider. All capitalized terms not defined in this Rider shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Lease.
1. The term “fair market rental rate” as used in the Lease and any Rider attached to the Lease shall mean the annual amount per square foot, projected during the Option Term (including annual adjustments), that a willing, non-equity new and renewal tenants (excluding sublease and assignment transactions) would pay, and a willing, institutional landlord of a comparable quality retail project located in the downtown Los Angeles, California area would accept, in an arm’s length transaction (what Landlord is accepting in then current transactions for the Retail Area may be used, but shall not be determinative, for purposes of projecting rent for the Option Term), for space of comparable size, quality and floor height as the Premises, taking into account the age, quality and layout of the existing improvements in the Premises (but not that they are specifically suited for Tenant), and taking into account items that professional real estate brokers or professional real estate appraisers customarily consider, including, but not limited to, rental rates, space availability, tenant size, tenant improvement allowances, parking charges and any other lease considerations and concessions (such as, but not limited to, free rent), if any, then being charged or granted by Landlord or the lessors of such similar retail projects. All economic terms other than Base Rent, such as tenant improvement allowance amounts, if any, operating expenses, parking charges, etc., will be factored into the determination of the fair market rental rate for the Option Term. Accordingly, the fair market rental rate will be an effective rate, not specifically including, but accounting for, the appropriate economic considerations described above. The intent is that Tenant will obtain the same rent and other economic benefits that Landlord would otherwise give in comparable transactions and that Landlord will make, and receive the same economic payments and concessions that Landlord would otherwise make, and receive in comparable transactions.
2. In the event where a determination of fair market rental rate is required under the Lease, Landlord shall provide written notice of Landlord’s determination of the fair market rental rate not later than sixty (60) days after the last day upon which Tenant may timely exercise the right giving rise to the necessity for such fair market rental rate determination. Tenant shall have thirty (30) days (“Tenant’s Review Period”) after receipt of Landlord’s notice of the fair market rental rate within which to accept such fair market rental rate or to object thereto in writing. Failure of Tenant to so object to the fair market rental rate submitted by Landlord in writing within Tenant’s Review Period shall conclusively be deemed Tenant’s approval and acceptance thereof. If within Tenant’s Review Period Tenant reasonably objects to or is deemed to have
Rider No. 2-1


disapproved the fair market rental rate submitted by Landlord, Landlord and Tenant will meet together with their respective legal counsel and brokers to present and discuss their individual determinations of the fair market rental rate for the Premises under the parameters set forth in Paragraph 1 above and shall diligently and in good faith attempt to negotiate a rental rate on the basis of such individual determinations. Such meeting shall occur no later than ten (10) business days after the expiration of Tenant’s Review Period. The parties shall each provide the other with such supporting information and documentation as they deem appropriate. At such meeting if Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the fair market rental rate, they shall each submit to the other their respective best and final offer as to the fair market rental rate. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement on such fair market rental rate within five (5) business days following such a meeting (the “Outside Agreement Date”), then each party’s determination shall be submitted to appraisal in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 below.
3. (a)  Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one (1) independent appraiser who shall by profession be an M.A.I. certified real estate appraiser who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of retail properties in the downtown Los Angeles, California area. The determination of the appraisers shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s last proposed (as of the Outside Agreement Date) best and final fair market rental rate for the Premises is the closest to the actual fair market rental rate for the Premises as determined by the appraisers, taking into account the requirements specified in Section 1 above. Each such appraiser shall be appointed within fifteen (15) business days after the Outside Agreement Date.
(b) The two (2) appraisers so appointed shall within fifteen (15) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed appraiser agree upon and appoint a third appraiser who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two (2) appraisers.
(c) The three (3) appraisers shall within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third appraiser reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted best and final fair market rental rate, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. During such thirty (30) day period, Landlord and Tenant may submit to the appraisers such information and documentation to support their respective positions as they shall deem reasonably relevant (with a copy to the other party) and Landlord and Tenant may each appear before the appraisers jointly to question and respond to (with a copy to the other party) questions from the appraisers.
(d) The decision of the majority of the three (3) appraisers shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and neither party shall have the right to reject the decision or to undo the exercise of the applicable Extension Option. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser within the time period specified in Section 3(a) hereinabove, the appraiser appointed by one of them shall within thirty (30) days following the date on which the party failing to appoint an appraiser could have last appointed such appraiser reach a decision based upon the same procedures as set forth above (i.e., by selecting either Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted best and final fair market rental rate), and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such appraiser’s
Rider No. 2-2


decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and neither party shall have the right to reject the decision or to undo the exercise of the applicable Extension Option.
(e) If the two (2) appraisers fail to agree upon and appoint a third appraiser, either party, upon ten (10) days written notice to the other party, can apply to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County to appoint a third appraiser meeting the qualifications set forth herein. The third appraiser, however, selected shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for ether party.
(f) The cost of each party’s appraiser shall be the responsibility of the party selecting such appraiser, and the cost of the third appraiser (or arbitration, if necessary) shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant.
(g) If the process described hereinabove has not resulted in a selection of either Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted best and final fair market rental rate by the commencement of the applicable lease term, then the average of each fair market rental rate estimated by Landlord and Tenant will be used until the appraiser(s) reach a decision, with an appropriate rental credit and other adjustments for any overpayments or underpayments of Base Rent or other amounts if the appraisers select Tenant’s submitted best and final estimate of the fair market rental rate. The parties shall enter into an amendment to this Lease confirming the terms of the decision.

1.3 Condition of the Premises. Prior to the date of this Lease, Tenant has occupied the Premises pursuant to the Existing Lease. Except as specifically set forth in this Lease and in the Work Letters, and subject to Landlord’s obligations set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall occupy the Premises and accept the Building, including the base, shell, and core of (i) the Premises and (ii) the floor of the Building on which the Premises is located (collectively, the “Base, Shell, and Core”) in their “AS-IS” condition as of the date of this Lease and Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement work or services related to the improvement of the Premises.

Further, pursuant to Section 1938 of the California Civil Code, Landlord notifies Tenant of the following: “A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises.” Therefore and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant agree that (a) Tenant may, at its option and at its sole cost, cause a CASp to inspect the Premises and determine whether the Premises complies with all of the applicable construction-related
- 12 -


accessibility standards under California law, (b) the parties shall mutually coordinate and reasonably approve of the timing of any such CASp inspection so that Landlord may, at its option, have a representative present during such inspection, and (c) the cost of any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the Premises shall be performed by Landlord or Tenant, as determined by remaining provisions of this Lease and Work Letter, and, any and all such alterations and repairs to be performed by Tenant shall be performed in accordance with Article 8 of this Lease; provided Tenant shall have no obligation to remove any repairs or alterations made pursuant to a CASp inspection under this Section 1.3.
1.4 Americans with Disabilities Act.

If the Building is not one hundred percent (100%) occupied with all tenants and occupants paying full rent (as opposed to free rent, half rent, partial rent, and the like) during all or a portion of any Expense Year (including, the Base Year), Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to the variable components of Operating Expenses for such year or applicable portion thereof, employing sound accounting and management principles, to determine reasonably the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been paid had the Building been one hundred percent (100%) occupied (with all tenants and occupants paying full rent, as opposed to free rent, half rent, partial rent, and the like); and the amount so reasonably determined shall be deemed to have been the amount of Operating Expenses for such year, or applicable portion thereof.

Landlord shall make payment for goods, utilities and services in a timely manner to obtain the maximum possible discount consistent with the customary practices of the landlords of the Comparable Buildings. In the event any such reimbursement, refund or credit is received by Landlord in a later calendar year, it shall be applied against the Operating Expenses the year in which the expense was incurred. No item of expense shall be included in or deducted from Operating Expenses more than once under any circumstance. Landlord shall use its best efforts in good faith to effect an equitable proration of bills for services rendered to the Real Property and to any other property owned by Landlord.
4.2.6 “Systems and Equipment” shall mean any plant, machinery, transformers, duct work, cable, wires, and other equipment, facilities, and systems designed to supply heat, ventilation and air conditioning (“HVAC”) and humidity or any other services or utilities, or comprising or serving as any component or portion of the electrical, gas, steam, plumbing, sprinkler, communications, alarm, security, or fire/life safety systems or equipment, or any other mechanical, electrical, plumbing, electronic, computer or other systems or equipment which serve the Building and/or Real Property in whole or in part.
4.2.7 “Tax Expenses” shall mean all federal, state, county, or local governmental or municipal taxes, fees, charges or other impositions of every kind and nature, whether general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, (including, without limitation, real estate taxes, general and special assessments, transit taxes, leasehold taxes or taxes based upon the receipt of rent, including gross receipts or sales taxes applicable to the receipt of rent, unless required to be paid by Tenant, personal property taxes imposed upon the fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems and equipment, appurtenances, furniture and other personal property used in connection with the Building and/or Real Property), which Landlord shall pay during and are appropriately allocable to any Expense Year (without regard to any different fiscal year used by such governmental or municipal authority) because of or in connection with ownership, leasing and operation of the Real Property, including the Building Parking Area. For purposes of this Lease, Tax Expenses for the Base Year (hereinafter referred to as the “2020 Base Year”) and each Expense Year after the 2020 Base Year shall be calculated as if the Building were fully occupied, all landlord and tenant improvements (including, without limitation, the Tenant Improvements and Landlord Improvements) in the Building and Real Property were fully constructed and the Real Property, the Building and all improvements in the Building were fully assessed as of the Second Commencement Date for real estate tax purposes, and without excluding any Tax Increase (as defined in Section 4.3.4 below), subject to any Proposition 13 protection provided in Section 4.8 below.

- 22 -


4.2.7.1  Tax Expenses shall include, without limitation:
(i) any tax on Landlord’s rent, right to rent or other income from the Real Property or as against Landlord’s business of leasing any of the Real Property;
(ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 4.8 below, any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in addition to, or in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition of real property tax, it being acknowledged by Tenant and Landlord that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June 1978 election (“Proposition 13”) and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants (it is the intention of Tenant and Landlord that all such new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies, and charges and all similar assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges be included within the definition of Tax Expenses for purposes of this Lease);
(iii) any assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the rent payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any gross income tax with respect to the receipt of such rent, or upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof; and
(iv) any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge, upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party, creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.
4.2.7.2  If the method of taxation of real estate prevailing at the time of execution hereof shall be, or has been, altered so as to cause the whole or any part of the taxes now, hereafter or heretofore levied, assessed or imposed on real estate to be levied, assessed, or imposed upon Landlord, wholly or partially, as a capital levy or otherwise, or on or measured by the rents received therefrom, then such new or altered taxes attributable to the Real Property, including the Building Parking Area, shall be included within the term “Tax Expenses” except that the same shall not include any enhancement of said tax attributable to other income of Landlord. In no event shall Tax Expenses for any Expense Year be less than the component of Tax Expenses comprising a portion of the Base Year.
4.2.7.3  In the event that either Landlord or Tenant shall desire to contest in good faith the validity or amount of any Tax Expenses, then, at Landlord’s option, either (i) Landlord shall diligently pursue claims for reductions in the Tax Expenses, (ii) Tenant may pursue such claims with Landlord’s concurrence, in the name of Landlord, or (iii) Tenant may pursue such claims in the name of Landlord without Landlord’s concurrence. If either Landlord agrees to pursue such claims or concurs in the decision to pursue such claims but elects to have them pursued by Tenant, the cost of such proceedings shall be paid by Landlord and included in Tax Expenses in the Expense Year such expenses are paid. If Tenant pursues such claims without obtaining Landlord’s concurrence and such contest is successful, then to the extent of the cumulative tax savings achieved, Landlord shall pay to or reimburse Tenant the cost
- 23 -


of such proceedings, and include such cost in Tax Expenses in the year so paid or reimbursed by Landlord. No contest of Tax Expenses by either party shall involve the possibility of forfeiture, sale or disturbance of Landlord’s interest in the Building or Real Property, or Landlord’s or Tenant’s interest in the Premises, and all Tax Expenses shall be paid prior to such contest.
4.2.7.4  Tax refunds shall be deducted from Tax Expenses in the Expense Year they are received by Landlord.
4.2.7.5  There shall be excluded from Tax Expenses: (i) all excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal and state income taxes, and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlord’s general or net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Building or Real Property); (ii) any items included as Operating Expenses; and (iii) any items paid by Tenant under Section 4.4 below; and (iv) taxes attributable to leasehold improvements in excess of the “Cut-Off Point” (as defined below).
4.2.7.6  Subject to the right to contest the validity or amount of any Tax Expense as provided above, Landlord shall pay before delinquency and before any fine, penalty or interest is due thereon, every real estate tax, assessment, license fee, excise or other charge (however described) which is imposed, levied or assessed or charged by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority having jurisdiction and which is payable in respect of the Lease Term upon, or on account of, the Building or the Real Property
4.2.7.7  If the Tax Expenses component of the Base Year includes special assessments from a prior period and such special assessments terminate during the Lease Term, then from and after the date of such termination of the special assessment, the Tax Expenses included in the Base Year shall be deemed to be reduced by the amount of such special assessment so that Tenant pays its full Tenant’s Share of increases in the Tax Expenses during the Lease Term.
4.2.7.8  If Tax Expenses for any period during the Lease Term or any extension thereof are increased after payment thereof by Landlord for any reason, including, without limitation, error or reassessment by applicable governmental or municipal authorities, (A) to the extent of any Excess (as hereinafter defined), Tenant shall pay Landlord Tenant’s Share of such increased Tax Expenses, within thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of a notice from Landlord of such increase, including reasonably satisfactory evidence and explanation of such increase, along with the calculation of Tenant’s Share of such increase, and (B) if such increase is attributable to the Base Year, the Tax Expenses for such Base Year shall be increased to reflect the same.
4.2.8 “Tenant’s Share” shall mean the percentage set forth in Section 9.2 of the Summary. Tenant’s Share was calculated by multiplying the number of square feet of rentable square feet of the Premises by 100 and dividing the product by the total rentable square feet of the office portion of the Building (i.e., 677,005 rentable square feet). In the event that the rentable square feet of the Premises is further increased due to the lease by Tenant of any Expansion Space or ROFO Space, (as hereinafter defined) or is decreased due to the exercise of a termination right or otherwise, Tenant’s Share shall be appropriately increased or decreased, as
- 24 -


applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Lease, and, as to the Expense Year in which such change occurs, Tenant’s Share for such year shall be determined on the basis of the number of days during such Expense Year that each such Tenant’s Share was in effect.
4.3 Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent.
4.3.1 Calculation of Excess. If for any Expense Year after calendar year 2020 ending or commencing within the Lease Term, Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for such Expense Year exceeds Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for the Base Year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.3.2 below, and as Additional Rent, an amount equal to the excess (the “Excess”).
4.3.2 Statement of Actual Direct Expenses and Payment By Tenant. Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant on or before the first day of May following the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the “Statement”) which Statement shall be itemized on a line-by-line basis and shall state the Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and which shall indicate the amount, if any, of any Excess. Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year ending during the Lease Term, if an Excess is present, Tenant shall pay, upon the later to occur of its next installment of Base Rent due or within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Statement, the full amount of the Excess for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as Estimated Excess (as hereinafter defined). If the amount of the Excess is less than the amount paid by the Tenant as Estimated Excess during the applicable period of the Expense Year (but, in each case, not including any period of the Expense Year which occurred after this Lease has terminated or expired), Landlord shall pay the difference (“Tenant Refund”) to Tenant together with the applicable Statement, even if this Lease has terminated or expired. In the event that Landlord shall fail to pay any Tenant Refund specified in a particular Statement concurrent with delivery of such Statement, Tenant shall be entitled to offset such Tenant Refund against the Rent next due under this Lease. In the event that Landlord shall fail to deliver the Statement on or before May 1 of a particular year, and when subsequently delivered the Statement reveals that a Tenant Refund is due, such Tenant Refund shall bear interest at the Interest Rate (as hereinafter defined) from such preceding April 1 until paid by Landlord, or if Landlord fails to pay such Tenant Refund concurrently with delivery of the Statement, until such time as such Tenant Refund is applied against Rent due under this Lease. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord 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 the Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, if an Excess is present, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Statement setting forth the Excess pay to Landlord an amount as calculated pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.3.1 above, less any amounts owed from Landlord to Tenant. The provisions of this Section 4.3.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.
4.3.3 Statement of Estimated Direct Expenses. Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant on or before the first day of April, a yearly expense estimate statement (the “Estimate Statement”) which Estimate Statement shall be itemized on a line-item by line-item basis and shall set forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate (the “Estimate”) of what the total amount of Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year shall be and the estimated
- 25 -


Excess (the “Estimated Excess”). Except as provided in Section 4.3.2 above, 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 Excess under this Article 4. If pursuant to the Estimate Statement an Estimated Excess is calculated for the then-current Expense Year, Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Estimate Statement, a fraction of the Estimated Excess for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.3.3). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year to the month of such payment, both months inclusive, and shall have twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished, Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Excess set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.
4.4 Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon written demand (together with reasonably satisfactory evidence and calculation of the applicable payment) for, or pay directly (if appropriate), for any and all taxes or assessments required to be paid by Landlord (except to the extent included in Tax Expenses by Landlord), excluding state, local and federal personal or corporate income taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources and estate and inheritance taxes, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto, when:
4.4.1 said taxes are measured by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises, or by the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant, to the extent the cost or value of such leasehold improvements exceeds the cost or value of a build-out as existing as of the Second Commencement Date (together with the value of the Tenant Improvements to be constructed by Tenant) determined by Landlord regardless of whether title to such improvements shall be vested in Tenant or Landlord;
4.4.2 said taxes are 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 Real Property and/or the Building Parking Area;
4.4.3 said taxes are assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises; or
4.4.4 Said taxes are measured by or reasonably attributable to (a) the cost or value of Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises, or (b) the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant, to the extent the cost or value of such leasehold improvements exceeds those existing as of the Second Commencement Date (plus the value of the Tenant Improvements to be performed by Tenant).
4.5 Cost Pools. Landlord shall, from time to time, equitably allocate some or all of the Direct Expenses for the Building and Real Property among different portions or occupants of the Building and Real Property, including retail and office areas (the “Cost Pools”), in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. The Direct Expenses within each such Cost Pool shall be
- 26 -


allocated and charged to the tenants within such Cost Pool in an equitable manner. In the event the components of the Cost Pools change between the Base Year and any subsequent Expense Year, the Cost Pools included in Direct Expenses for the Base Year shall be modified to be consistent with the allocation in the Expense Year. Tenant’s payment of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expense is based on the Direct Expenses relating to the office areas of the Building and Real Property, and shall exclude any Direct Expenses exclusively relating to the retail areas.
4.6 Landlord’s Books and Records. If Tenant disputes the amount of Additional Rent set forth in a Statement, then upon reasonable notice to Landlord and at reasonable times, Tenant and/or its authorized representative shall have the right within one (1) year after receipt of such Statement (“Review Period”), to inspect Landlord’s records, at Landlord’s offices in Los Angeles County, provided that Tenant is not then in default following written notice and the expiration of any applicable cure periods, under Section 19 of this Lease; provided, that Tenant and its authorized representative shall, and each of them shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause their respective agents and employees to, maintain all information contained in Landlord’s records in strict confidence. The inspection rights described above shall be performed only by Tenant, Tenant’s employees, or an authorized representative of Tenant who is an independent certified public accountant (which is not paid on a commission or contingency basis). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may use a commercial real estate brokerage or real estate firm whose primary business is not auditing operating expenses as its representative as long as Tenant does not engage such representative on a commission or contingent fee basis. If after such inspection, Tenant still disputes the amount of Additional Rent set forth in the applicable Statement, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of such dispute (“Dispute Notice”) and Landlord and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute. In the event that within thirty (30) days following the date of the Dispute Notice Landlord and Tenant are unable to resolve the dispute, such dispute shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the provisions below:
4.6.1 Within twenty (20) days of the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be an independent certified public accountant who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending an the date of such appointment in the determination of Direct Expenses for commercial high-rise properties in Los Angeles County.
4.6.2 The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall within ten (10) business days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same criteria as set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two (2) arbitrators.
4.6.3 The three (3) arbitrators shall within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator reach a decision as to the actual Direct Expenses for the period set forth in the applicable Statement.
4.6.4 The decision of the majority of the three (3) arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

- 27 -


4.6.5 If the two (2) arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator, then the appointment of the arbitrators shall be dismissed and the matter shall be submitted to arbitration under the provisions of the American Arbitration Association.
The cost of Tenant’s inspection of Landlord’s records and the cost of any arbitration proceeding hereunder shall be Tenant’s responsibility; provided that in the event that Landlord and Tenant agree or the arbitrators determine that the Direct Expenses set forth in the Statement were overstated by more than three percent (3%), then the cost of Tenant’s inspection of Landlord’s records and the cost of any resulting arbitration proceeding shall be paid for by Landlord; and provided thither, that if Landlord and Tenant agree or the arbitrators determine that the Direct Expenses set forth in the Statement were understated, then the cost of Tenant’s inspection of Landlord’s records and the cost of any resulting arbitration proceeding shall be paid for by Landlord to the extent Landlord is entitled to and does actually recover such additional Direct Expenses from other tenants in the Building. Landlord shall act in good faith and with reasonable diligence to attempt to recover such additional Direct Expenses from the other tenants in the Building. Promptly following any such agreement by the parties or arbitration decision, as the case may be, the parties shall make such appropriate payments or reimbursements, as the case may be, to each other, as are determined to be owing pursuant to such agreement or arbitration decision, as the case may be, together with interest at the rate that is the lesser of (i) the “Prime Rate” published from time to time by the Wall Street Journal (or such reasonable comparable national business publication as is selected by Landlord in the event the Wall Street Journal ceases to publish a Prime Rate), plus two percent (2.0%), or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law (the “Interest Rate”), from the date due until paid, in the case of payments by Tenant to Landlord, or from the date paid until reimbursed, in the case of reimbursements by Landlord to Tenant, and if Landlord fails to make required reimbursements, Tenant may offset such amounts against the Rent next due hereunder. Landlord shall be required to maintain records of all Direct Expenses set forth in each Statement delivered to Tenant for the entirety of the two (2) year period following Landlord’s delivery of the applicable Statement. The payment by Tenant of any amounts pursuant to this Article 4 shall not preclude Tenant from questioning the correctness of any Statement delivered by Landlord, provided that the failure of Tenant to object thereto prior to the expiration of the Review Period shall be conclusively deemed Tenant’s approval of the applicable Statement. The provisions of this Section 4.6 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.
4.7 Controllable Expenses; Base Year Adjustment.
4.7.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant’s Share of “Controllable Expenses” (as defined below) shall not increase by an average of more than five percent (5%) of such controllable expenses per calendar year on a cumulative, compounded basis. As used herein, the term “Controllable Expenses” means all Direct Expenses other than (i) utilities, (ii) Tax Expenses, (iii) insurance costs, (iv) union wages, (v) costs levied, assessed or imposed by, or at the direction of, or resulting from statutes or regulations or interpretations thereof promulgated by, any federal, state, regional, municipal or local governmental authority following the Second Commencement Date in connection with the use or occupancy of the Building, Building Parking Area, or the Real Property, and (vi) all fees fixed under contracts in existence on the date hereof.

- 28 -


4.7.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, and during the Term, Operating Expenses during the Base Year shall be adjusted as follows: (a) if Landlord incurs expenses for services which were not provided or for a category of liability that did not exist in the Base Year, Operating Expenses for the Base Year shall be considered to be increased by the amounts that Landlord would have incurred during the Base Year with respect to such expenses had these new services or category of liability been included in Operating Expenses during the entire Base Year; (b) if Landlord does not incur expenses for services which were provided or for a category of liability that existed in the Base Year, Operating Expenses for the Base Year shall be considered to be reduced by the amounts that Landlord would have incurred during the Base Year with respect to such expenses had these discontinued services or category of liability not been included in Operating Expenses during the entire Base Year; (c) if any portion of the Real Property is covered by a warranty at any time, during the Base Year or any subsequent calendar year, Operating Expenses for the Base Year or such subsequent calendar year, as applicable, shall be considered to be increased by the amount that Landlord would have incurred during the Base Year or such subsequent calendar year, as applicable, with respect to the items or matters covered by the warranty had the warranty not been in effect during the Base Year or such subsequent calendar year; (d) any additional annual premium resulting from any new forms of insurance, any increase in insurance limits or coverage, or any decrease in deductibles in any year after the Base Year shall be considered to be included in Operating Expenses for the Base Year; and (e) any decrease in annual premium resulting from Landlord’s discontinuance of forms of insurance, any decrease in insurance limits or coverage, or any increase in deductibles in any year after the Base Year shall be considered to be excluded in Operating Expenses for the Base Year. Landlord shall not take any action or fail to act for the purpose of artificially decreasing the Operating Expenses that are otherwise properly attributable to the Base Year. Landlord shall not intentionally delay repairs, replacements, expenditures or the performance of other obligations so as to avoid the inclusion of such matters in the Base Year. Should the management fee be calculated differently in any subsequent year from how calculated in the Base Year, the Operating Expenses during the Base Year shall be adjusted to reflect what the management fee would have equaled had it been calculated in the same manner as calculated in the subsequent year.
4.8 Prop 13 Protection. In the event that, at any time following the execution of this Lease, and during the Lease Term (but not during any Option Terms), any sale, refinancing, or change in ownership of the Real Property is consummated, or any "new construction" in connection with future development of buildings or improvements at the Real Property is completed, and as a result thereof, and to the extent that in connection therewith, the Real Property is reassessed (the "Reassessment") for real estate tax purposes by the appropriate governmental authority pursuant to the terms of Proposition 13 or any similar legislation, then Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Tenant’s Share of the portion of the “Tax Increase” (as defined below) during the periods shown in the table below applicable to the first Reassessment occurring following the Effective Date, except to the extent any such Tax Increase (or any portion thereof) is included in both the Base Year and the subsequent Expense Years; provided, however, Tenant shall be obligated to pay one hundred percent (100%) of Tenant’s Share of any subsequent Tax Increase in incurred in connection with any subsequent Reassessments occurring due to a sale, refinancing, or change in ownership of the Real Property after the first Reassessment that occurs following the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Landlord Improvements or the Tenant Improvements triggers a Reassessment, Tenant shall not
- 29 -


receive the protection provided herein due to the same, and the receipt of such protection should not be considered the “first Reassessment, but the Tax Expenses during the Base Year shall be deemed to include all Tax Expenses which would have been assessed during the Base Year had the Landlord Improvements and Tenant Improvements been completed and the Real Property assessed in full for the entire Base Year.
The term “Tax Increase” shall mean that portion of the Tax Expenses, as calculated following the Reassessment, which is attributable solely to the Reassessment. Accordingly, the term Tax Increase shall not include any portion of the Tax Expenses, as calculated following the Reassessment, which are attributable to (A) the initial assessment of the value of the Real Property, including the base building, shell and core of the Building and the tenant improvements located in the Building, (B) assessments which were pending immediately prior to the Reassessment which assessments were conducted during, and included in, such Reassessment, or which assessments were otherwise rendered unnecessary following the Reassessment, or (C) the statutory two percent (2%) annual inflationary increase in real estate taxes (as such statutory increase may be modified by subsequent legislation). The amount of Tax Expenses which Tenant is not obligated to pay or will not be obligated to pay in connection with a particular Reassessment pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall be sometimes referred to hereafter as a “Tax Reassessment Protection Amount.” During the portion of the Lease Term shown below, Tenant shall receive only the percentage of Tax Reassessment Protection Amount shown in the following schedule:

Period Tax Reassessment Protection Amount
1/1/2020 - 12/31/2024 50%
1/1/2025 - 12/31/2029 25%
1/1/2030 - 12/31/2034 12.5%

For example, if Landlord sells the Real Property to a third party on January 1, 2023, resulting in a Reassessment, then Tenant shall only be required to pay fifty percent (50%) of Tenant’s Share of the Tax Increase for the period from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024, seventy-five percent (75%) of Tenant’s Share of the Tax Increase for the period from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2029, eighty-seven and one-half percent (87.5%) of Tenant’s Share of the Tax Increase for the period from January 1, 2030 through December 31, 2034, and one hundred percent (100%) of Tenant’s Share of the Tax Increase thereafter. By way of further example, if such third party sells the Real Property to an unrelated third party on January 1, 2028, Tenant’s requirement to pay Tenant’s Share of the Tax Increase attributable to the first Reassessment shall be treated as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, and Tenant shall be required to pay one hundred percent (100%) of Tenant’s Share of the Tax Increase attributable to such second Reassessment.
If the occurrence of a Reassessment is reasonably foreseeable by Landlord and the Tax Reassessment Protection Amount attributable to such Reassessment can be reasonably quantified or estimated for particular Lease Years remaining in the Lease Term commencing with the Lease Year in which the Reassessment will occur, the remaining terms of this Section set forth below shall apply to such Reassessment. Upon notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to
- 30 -


purchase the Tax Reassessment Protection Amount relating to the applicable Reassessment as it applies to one or more of the remaining Lease Years in the Lease Term by paying to Tenant an amount equal to the "Tax Reassessment Purchase Price" (as defined below) for each such particular Lease Year; provided that the right of any successor of Landlord to exercise its right of repurchase hereunder shall not apply to any Reassessment which results from the event pursuant to which such successor of Landlord became the Landlord under this Lease. As used herein, “Tax Reassessment Purchase Price” for each particular Lease Year shall mean the present value of the Tax Reassessment Protection Amount for such particular Lease Year, as of the date of payment of the Tax Reassessment Purchase Price by Landlord. Such present value shall be calculated (1) by using the portion of the Tax Reassessment Protection Amount attributable to such Lease Year (as though the portion of such Tax Reassessment Protection Amount benefited Tenant in equal monthly installments throughout such Lease Year) as the amount to be discounted and (2) by using seven percent (7.0%) as a discount factor. Upon such payment of the Tax Reassessment Purchase Price with respect to any particular Lease Year, Tenant shall thereupon not be relieved of its obligation to pay any Tax Increase for such particular Lease Year attributable to the applicable Reassessment. Since Landlord is estimating the Tax Reassessment Purchase Price because a Reassessment has not yet occurred, then when such Reassessment occurs, if Landlord has underestimated the Tax Reassessment Purchase Price with respect to any particular Lease Year, then upon notice by Landlord to Tenant, Tenant's Rent next due shall be credited with the amount of such underestimation, and if Landlord overestimates the Tax Reassessment Purchase Price with respect to any particular Lease Year, then upon not less than thirty (30) days’ notice by Landlord to Tenant, the Rent next due shall be increased by the amount of the overestimation. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Lease, the provisions of this Section shall be applicable only during the initial Lease Term and only to the initial Premises and shall not be applicable during any Option Terms nor be applicable to any expansion space.
4.9 Additional Rent Prior to Second Commencement Date. The provisions of this Article 4 are intended to apply as of the Second Commencement Date. Prior to the Second Commencement Date, the payment of Additional Rent shall be based on the Existing Lease, and to the extent necessary, all terms and provisions of the Existing Lease are hereby incorporated. The intent of the parties is that Tenant pays to Landlord the same amount of Additional Rent for the Existing Premises from the First Commencement Date until the Second Commencement Date as it would have paid under the Existing Lease, and that Tenant has the same rights and obligations during such time as it would have had under the Existing Lease. Correspondingly, Landlord shall receive from Tenant the same amount of Additional Rent for the Existing Premises from the First Commencement Date until the Second Commencement Date as it would have received under the Existing Lease, and that Landlord has the same rights and obligations during such time as it would have had under the Existing Lease.
5. Use of Premises
5.1 Permitted Use. During the entire Lease Term, Tenant shall use the Premises solely for any or all of the following purposes, all consistent with the character of the Building as a first-class multi-tenant office building (the “Permitted Use”): (i) retail, private and commercial banking purposes; (ii) general office purposes; (iii) general storage purposes; and/or (iv) any other non-retail lawful use permitted by Landlord for other tenants’ premises
- 31 -


located above the first (1st) floor of the Building, so long as (A) such other non-retail lawful use does not violate an exclusive use granted by Landlord to a tenant of the Real Property, and (B) such other non-retail lawful use by Tenant does not exceed, by more than fifty percent (50%), the aggregate rentable square footage of such other lawful uses granted to such other tenants of the Building. Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose or purposes whatsoever.
5.2 Prohibited Uses. Tenant further covenants and agrees that it shall not use, or suffer or permit any person or persons to use, the Premises or any part thereof for any use or purpose contrary to the provisions of Exhibit D, attached hereto, or in violation of the laws of the United States of America, the State of California, or the ordinances, regulations or requirements of the local municipal or county governing body or other lawful authorities having jurisdiction over the Building; provided however that Landlord agrees that the Rules and Regulations shall not be (i) modified or enforced in any way by Landlord so as to interfere with the Permitted Use, or (ii) discriminatorily modified or enforced against Tenant, or (iii) modified in a way that materially and adversely conflicts with the terms and conditions of this Lease. Landlord agrees that nothing in the Rules and Regulations of the Building shall be used to prohibit or unreasonably interfere with the conduct of any business from the Premises which Tenant is permitted to conduct. In the event any other tenant or occupant of the Building fails to comply with the Rules and Regulations, and such non-compliance unreasonably and materially interferes with Tenant’s use of the Premises, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to cause such other tenants and/or occupants to comply with the Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall comply with all recorded covenants, conditions, and restrictions, and the provisions of all ground or underlying leases, now or hereafter (provided Tenant consents to the same, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) affecting the Real Property which have been provided by Landlord to Tenant in writing, and shall not at any time use or occupy or allow any person to use or occupy the Premises or the Building or do or permit anything to be done or kept in the Premises or the Building in any manner which: (i) violates any certificate of occupancy in force for the Premises or the Building; (ii) causes or is likely to cause damage to the Real Property, the Building, the Premises or any equipment, facilities or other systems therein; (iii) other than conducting normal banking operations from its Premises, results in repeated demonstrations, bomb threats or other events which require evacuation of the Building or otherwise disrupt the use, occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Building by other tenants and occupants; or (iv) materially interferes with the transmission or reception of microwave, television, radio or other communications signals by antennae located on the roof of the Building or elsewhere in the Building. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall comply with all laws, rules, orders, ordinances, directions, regulations, and requirements of federal, state, county and municipal authorities, now in force or which may hereafter be in force, which shall impose any duty or requirement relating to the use, occupation or alteration of the Premises.
5.3 Hazardous Materials. Except for the use of general office supplies within the Premises which are of a kind typically used in normal office areas in the ordinary course of business (such as, for example, copier toner, liquid paper, glue, ink, photocopy supplies, secretarial supplies and limited janitorial supplies, and cleaning solvents), for use in the manner for which they were designed and only in accordance with all applicable governmental regulations pertaining to Hazardous Materials (as defined in Section 29.31 below) and the customary standards prevailing in the industry for such use, and then only in such amounts as
- 32 -


may be normal for the office business operations conducted by Tenant on the Premises, Tenant shall not cause or permit the use, handling, storage or disposal of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Premises by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, licensees (collectively, “Tenant Parties”) or Tenant’s invitees, or in, on, under or about the remaining portions of the Real Property by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents, representatives or contractors. Tenant shall promptly take all actions, at its sole cost and expense, as are necessary to return the Premises and the Real Property to the condition existing prior to the introduction of any such Hazardous Materials by Tenant or the applicable parties specified above, provided Landlord’s approval of such actions shall first be obtained, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant shall be solely responsible for and shall indemnify, protect, defend (at Tenant’s expense with counsel reasonably approved by Landlord) and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, suits, causes of action, damages, penalties, fines, liabilities, losses and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable investigation and clean-up costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, reasonable consultant fees and court costs) which arise during or after the Term of this Lease as a result of the breach of any of the obligations and covenants set forth in this Section 5.3 by Tenant or any Tenant Parties, and/or any contamination of the Premises, directly or indirectly, arising from activities of Tenant or Tenant Parties, and/or any contamination of the remaining portions of the Real Property, directly or indirectly arising from the activities of Tenant or its employees, agents, representatives or contractors. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall have no liability to Landlord for any Hazardous Materials that exist in or outside the Premises as of the First Commencement Date or which thereafter were placed in the Premises or found to be in or outside the Premises (collectively, the “Excluded Hazardous Materials”) to the extent not (i) introduced, disposed of, or otherwise caused by Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties or (ii) in any tenant improvements, alterations, fixtures, equipment or personal property installed by or for Tenant (other than by Landlord) in the Premises, Building or Real Property. Landlord shall be obligated to remediate, at its sole cost and expense, all Excluded Hazardous Materials, including without limitation, ACM (as hereinafter defined), present in violation of any applicable law, if and to the extent required by applicable governmental authorities (e.g., encapsulated ACM that is present in the Real Property that is not currently required to be removed from the Real Property by applicable governmental authorities shall not be required to be removed or otherwise abated by Landlord in accordance with this sentence unless and until applicable governmental authorities require Landlord to do so or as provided below). Landlord shall be responsible for the cost and performance of any governmental required remediation triggered due to the Landlord Improvements, Tenant’s Work or Alterations in the Premises (but not in connection with Alterations in any Give-Back Space) by Tenant or Landlord. However, Tenant shall be responsible for the costs of removing its improvements, alterations, fixtures, equipment or personal property from any areas that require remediation in accordance with this Paragraph due to alterations performed by Tenant.

- 33 -


6.1.1 Subject to all applicable Laws, Landlord shall provide HVAC when necessary for normal comfort for normal office use in the Premises, in a temperature range of 70°F to 76°F, with relative humidity within the guidelines established by the American Society of Heating and Air Conditioning Engineers (“ASHRAE”), from Monday through Friday, during the period from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and on Saturday during the period from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., except for the date of observation of New Year’s Day, Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and other nationally recognized holidays (collectively, the “Holidays”).
6.1.2 Landlord shall provide adequate electrical wiring and power for normal general office use twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, consistent with the Consumption Standard set forth in Section 6.2 below. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall perform replacement of lamps, and starters for lighting fixtures within the Premises; provided, however, Landlord shall perform replacement of ballasts and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such cost within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of an invoice therefor.
6.1.3 Landlord (or Landlord’s property manager) shall provide city water from the regular Building connections and any other connections the Tenant is making use of in the Premises as of the date of this Lease and Landlord has heretofor approved, for drinking, lavatory and toilet purposes. Subject to the terms of Article 8 of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to add to or access the water systems for the Building and/or provide supplemental water systems in order to service the Premises.
6.1.4 Landlord shall provide janitorial services in a quantity and manner consistent with Comparable Buildings, five (5) days per week, except the date of observation of the Holidays, in and about the Premises, in accordance with the janitorial specifications attached hereto as Exhibit “F”, and exterior window washing for the Building three (3) times per year; however, Landlord may reduce such exterior window washing services to two (2) times per year at any time after the date the original Tenant who executed this Lease (the “Original Tenant”) and/or a Qualified Transferee fails to satisfy the Minimum Occupancy Threshold (as such terms are defined in Section 22.9 below). Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall require a Background Check (defined below) reasonably acceptable Tenant of any janitorial personnel that Landlord causes to enter the Premises to provide janitorial services under the Lease.  As used herein, “Background Check” means a background check that (i) does not require the provision of any  identifying information other than (a) photo identification or other reasonable evidence of the person’s name, (b) the name of the person’s employer, (c) fingerprints, and (d) such other information as Tenant may be required to obtain by FDIC regulations or other applicable law; and (ii) does not preclude entry for any reason other than discovery that the person (a) has been convicted of a felony involving dishonesty or breach of trust, or (b) is a party identified on any list compiled pursuant to Executive Order 13224 for the purpose of identifying suspected terrorists or on the most current list published by the U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control at its official website, http://www.treas.gov/ofac/tllsdn.pdf or any replacement website or other replacement official publication of such list, except as required by FDIC regulations or other applicable law. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of providing such Background Checks within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of an invoice therefor. Notwithstanding the
- 34 -


foregoing, if Landlord’s janitorial contractor does not have available personnel that have completed a Landlord requested Background Check (e.g., if one (1) or more janitorial contractor personnel that have completed a Background Check call out sick or are otherwise unavailable), Landlord shall not be in default of this paragraph and Tenant may receive diminished or no janitorial service until such time as personnel that have completed Background Checks are available. Tenant shall have the right, upon at least sixty (60) days’ notice to Landlord at any time during the Lease Term or any Option Term, to provide its own janitorial service to the Premises by independently contracting with a janitorial service provider approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord. Such janitorial service provider shall in all events utilize “green” cleaning procedures comparable to those used by Landlord or its janitorial service provider and maintain harmonious labor relations with other contractors and service providers working in, on or about the Real Property. If Tenant elects, at any time, and from time to time, to provide its own janitorial service to the Premises during the Lease Term or any Option Term, the Base Rent payable by Tenant from and after the date on which Tenant commences providing its own janitorial service shall each be reduced by an amount equal to the actual savings realized by Landlord through the termination of the janitorial service to the Premises. Within sixty (60) days after Tenant commences providing its own janitorial service, Landlord shall reasonably calculate the actual savings realized by Landlord as a result of Tenant providing its own janitorial service. Landlord shall notify Tenant of such calculation as soon as possible after Tenant commences providing its own janitorial services. Tenant shall have the right to review Landlord’s calculation and supporting documents of such savings in janitorial costs. Tenant shall have the right, on sixty (60) days’ notice to Landlord, to discontinue providing its own janitorial, and to have Landlord once again provide such service as provided herein. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that as of the execution of this Lease, Tenant is currently providing its own janitorial, and Landlord hereby approves the provider of the same.
6.1.5 Landlord shall provide nonexclusive automatic passenger elevator service with at least two (2) elevator cabs in service for each elevator bank at all times.
6.1.6 Landlord shall provide nonexclusive freight elevator service as part of Operating Expenses, subject to reasonable scheduling by Landlord.

On or prior to the Second Commencement Date, Landlord shall, at its expense (which may included in Operating Expenses but shall be treated as a capital expenditure and amortized over its useful life), install security cameras on the mezzanine level of the Building Parking Area. In addition, upon request by Tenant, security personnel for the Building shall escort Tenant’s employees to their vehicles in the Building Parking Area between the hours of 8:00 p.m. (or 6:30 p.m. if it is dark outside at such hour) and 6:00 a.m., Monday through Friday, except for Holidays. Tenant shall have the right to install its own security system, subject to the terms of Article 8 of this Lease or the Tenant Work Letter, as the case may be, and/or have its own security personnel in the Premises, provided that the same does not interfere with the operation of the Building security system.

- 35 -


6.1.8 Landlord shall provide regular pest control services to the Premises as needed.
6.1.9 Landlord shall furnish to Tenant’s employees and agents access to the Building, the Premises and the Building Parking Area on a seven (7) day per week, twenty-four (24) hour per day basis, subject to compliance with such reasonable security measures as shall from time to time be in effect for the Building and/or the Building Parking Area, Landlord maintenance activities and subject to the Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit “D” and such other reasonable, non-discriminatory rules and regulations from time to time established by Landlord.
6.2 Overstandard Tenant Use. Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, use heat-generating machines (other than normal fractional horsepower office machines and supplemental HVAC/CRAC units existing as of the date of the Lease), equipment or lighting other than building standard lights in the Premises which may affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the air conditioning system or increase the water normally furnished for the normal office use for the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1 above. If such consent is given, Landlord (or Landlord’s property manager) shall have the right to install supplementary air conditioning units or other facilities in the Premises, including supplementary or additional metering devices, and the cost thereof, including the cost of installation, operation and maintenance, increased wear and tear on existing equipment and other similar charges, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord or Landlord’s property manager within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor. If Tenant uses water or HVAC in excess of that supplied by Landlord (or Landlord’s property manager) pursuant to Section 6.1 above, or if Tenant’s consumption of electricity shall exceed seven (7) watts connected load per usable square foot of the Premises, calculated on a monthly basis for the hours described in Section 6.1.1 above (the “Consumption Standard”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord (or Landlord’s property manager) within thirty (30) days after billing, (i) the cost of such excess consumption, including an administrative fee (not to exceed five percent [5%] of such cost), (ii) the cost of the installation, operation, and maintenance of equipment which is installed in order to supply such excess consumption; and Landlord (or Landlord’s property manager) may install devices to separately meter any increased use and in such event Tenant shall pay the increased cost directly to Landlord (or Landlord’s property manager), within thirty (30) days after demand, including the cost of installing, maintaining and repairing such additional metering devices including an administrative fee (not to exceed five percent [5%] of such cost), to cover the additional cost incurred by Landlord in keeping account of any chilled water and/or electrical current so consumed. If Tenant desires to use HVAC during hours other than those for which Landlord is obligated to supply such HVAC pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1.1 above, to the extent controls for such after-hours HVAC are not contained with the Premises, Tenant shall give Landlord no less than one (1) hour prior notice during Business Hours, and no less than four (4) hours prior notice outside of Business Hours, of Tenant’s desired use and, to the extent such services may be provided without overloading the Building Systems and Equipment, Landlord (or Landlord’s property manager) shall supply such utilities to Tenant at such hourly cost to Tenant as Landlord (or Landlord’s property manager) shall from time to time reasonably establish; provided, that, in no event shall the hourly cost increase by an average of more than five percent (5%) per calendar year, calculated on a cumulative and compounded basis.
- 36 -


Amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord (or Landlord’s property manager) for such use of additional utilities shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder and shall be billed on a monthly basis. The after-hours HVAC usage cost is currently $75.00 per hour per zone, plus, if the HVAC system is not already running (e.g., if Tenant request after hours HVAC starting at 7:00 p.m. on a business day, no such start-up fee shall apply), a $150.00 start-up fee. In no event shall the HVAC usage cost charged to Tenant exceed the lowest rate charged by Landlord to other tenants at the Building. Landlord may increase (but not decrease) the hours or days during which HVAC is provided to the Premises and the Building to accommodate the usage by tenants occupying two-thirds or more of the rentable square feet of the Building or to conform to practices of other comparable first-class office buildings in the Los Angeles Central Business District (collectively, the “Comparable Buildings”), however, in such event, the Base Year Operating Expenses shall be adjusted to account for such increased hours. Landlord shall not treat as additional water or electrical usage hereunder any level of water or electrical usage generally existing in the Premises by Tenant as of the First Commencement Date which immediately prior to the First Commencement Landlord did not generally treat as excess utility usage thereunder.
6.3 Interruption of Use. Except as otherwise provided herein, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for damages, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service (including telephone and telecommunication services), or for any diminution in the quality or quantity thereof, when such failure or delay or diminution is occasioned, in whole or in part, by repairs, replacements, or improvements, by any strike, lockout or other labor trouble, by inability to secure electricity, gas, water, or other fuel at the Building or Real Property after reasonable effort to do so, by any accident or casualty whatsoever, by act or default of Tenant or other parties, or by any other cause; and except as provided herein, such failures or delays or diminution shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease. Furthermore, except as provided herein, 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.
6.4 Additional Services or Utilities. If requested by Tenant, Landlord shall also have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to cause to be provided any additional services or utilities which may be required by Tenant, including, without limitation, locksmithing, additional janitorial service, and additional repairs and maintenance, provided that Tenant is provided an estimate of the cost prior to it being incurred. Tenant shall pay to Landlord (or Landlord’s property manager) within thirty (30) days after billing, the sum of all costs to Landlord of such additional services including an administrative fee (not to exceed five percent [5%] of such costs),. Charges for any services or utilities for which Tenant is required to pay from time to time hereunder, shall be billed on a monthly basis. If Tenant fails to make payment for any such services or utilities, and such failure continues for ten (10) business days following written notice to Tenant, Landlord may, following written notice to Tenant, cause to be discontinued any or all of such services and utilities and such discontinuance shall not be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its other obligations under this Lease.

- 37 -


6.5 Supplemental HVAC. Tenant may elect to install one or more additional HVAC systems inside, and/or outside of the Premises in locations reasonably approved by Landlord (each, a “Tenant HVAC System”), unless the Building structure, the Building systems, and/or the exterior appearance of the Building will be materially and adversely affected, in which event Landlord’s approval may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Tenant’s installation of the Tenant HVAC System shall comply with and be governed by the terms of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that such Tenant HVAC System installation will constitute an over-standard electrical use, and that in such event Tenant will be required to install, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, a device to separately meter such increased electrical use, and Tenant shall pay the increased cost directly to Landlord (or Landlord’s property manager), within thirty (30) days after demand including an administrative fee (not to exceed five percent [5%] of such cost),. However, Landlord hereby approves Tenant’s existing supplemental HVAC, as the same may be modified, replaced or upgraded in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, acknowledges that they are not separately metered (nor will be required to be separately metered), and the usage thereof shall not shall be deemed over-standard usage. If Tenant elects to terminate the Lease under Rider No. 5 attached hereto, to reduce the size of the Premises under Rider No. 4 attached hereto, or if Landlord terminates the Lease due to a Tenant Event of Default, then, at Landlord’s election delivered to Tenant in writing not later than ninety (90) days prior to the Termination Date (as defined in Rider No. 5) (or as soon as practicable following an Event of Default or Tenant’s exercise of a Contraction Right under Rider No. 4), Tenant shall remove the Tenant HVAC System prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and repair all damage to the Building resulting from such removal, normal wear and tear excepted, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall leave the existing aforementioned supplemental HVAC and, if Landlord does not elect in writing (as provided above) for the Tenant to remove the Tenant HVAC System, Tenant shall leave the Tenant HVAC System in the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, in its then existing “as is” condition, and Tenant shall thereafter have no further rights with respect thereto. Tenant shall be solely responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for the monitoring, operation, repair, replacement, and, if applicable, removal of the Tenant HVAC System, and in no event shall the Tenant HVAC System interfere with Landlord’s operation of the Building.
7. Repairs.
7.1 Duties to Repair. Landlord shall maintain and repair in a condition comparable to that maintained by landlords of Comparable Buildings, and in compliance with all laws, any and all structural portions of the Building, all restrooms located on each floor of the Premises (excluding executive washrooms, if any), and the Systems and Equipment; provided, however, Tenant shall be directly responsible for all maintenance and repair costs incurred by Landlord respecting Systems and Equipment located in the Premises, except for (all of which shall be Landlord’s responsibility to maintain and repair) (i) the HVAC system and all components, and the sprinkler systems, and without limitation, the pipes and other equipment connecting such interior main loops within the Premises to the Building’s base building HVAC and sprinkler systems located outside the Premises (collectively, the “Premises Base Building HVAC/Sprinkler Equipment”), (ii) repairs to Systems and Equipment in the Premises to the extent the condition necessitating such repair results from breakdowns or malfunctions of Systems and Equipment located outside the Premises and/or the Premises Base Building HVAC/Sprinkler Equipment, or (iii) repair or maintenance, which may be included in Direct
- 38 -


Expenses, to base building mechanical, electrical, life safety, plumbing, sprinkler systems and HVAC systems located in the Premises and which do not exclusively service the Premises. Landlord shall also maintain and repair the common areas in and outside of the Building, including all walkways, escalators and landscaping, in a condition comparable to that maintained by landlords of Comparable Buildings. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense, keep the non-structural portions of the Premises, including all improvements, fixtures and furnishings therein, in good order, repair and condition at all times during the Lease Term. In addition, except as provided as part of Landlord’s repair obligations set forth above or Landlord’s repair obligation in the event of a casualty or condemnation, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense but under the supervision and subject to the prior approval of Landlord (to the extent required under Section 8.1), and within any reasonable period of time specified by Landlord, promptly and adequately repair all damage to the Premises and replace or repair all damaged or broken fixtures and appurtenances; provided however, that, if Tenant fails to make such repairs, Landlord may, but need not, make such repairs and replacements, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof, including a reasonable percentage of the cost thereof (to be uniformly established for the Building and consistent with similar charges imposed by the landlords of Comparable Buildings) sufficient to reimburse Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other reasonable and actual costs or expenses arising from Landlord’s involvement with such repairs and replacements forthwith upon being billed for same (including receipt of reasonably satisfactory evidence of such costs). Landlord may, but shall not be required to, enter the Premises at all reasonable times and upon reasonable (no less than one (1) business days) prior notice to Tenant (except in the event of emergency) to make such repairs, alterations, improvements and additions to the Premises or to the Building or to any equipment located in the Building as Landlord shall deem reasonably necessary or as Landlord may be required to do by governmental or quasi-governmental authority or court order or decree, and if requested by Tenant, Landlord shall perform such work after Tenant’s normal business hours (except in the event of emergency) to the extent reasonably practicable if the performance of such work will unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s normal business operations. Tenant hereby waives and releases its right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense under Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code or under any similar law, statute, or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
7.2 Tenant’s Right to Make Repairs. If Tenant provides notice to Landlord of an event or circumstance which requires the action of Landlord with respect to the provision of utilities and/or services and/or repairs and/or maintenance as set forth in Sections 6.1 and 7.1 of this Lease, above, and Landlord fails to provide such action as required by the terms of this Lease, then Tenant may proceed to take the required action upon delivery of an additional five (5) business days’ notice to Landlord specifying that Tenant is taking such required action, and if such action was required under the terms of this Lease to be taken by Landlord, then Tenant shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement by Landlord of Tenant’s reasonable costs and expenses in taking such action plus interest at the Interest Rate, during the period from the date Tenant incurs such costs and expenses until such time as payment is made by Landlord. In the event Tenant takes such action, and such work will affect the Systems and Equipment, structural integrity of the Building or exterior appearance of the Building, Tenant shall use only those contractors used by Landlord in the Building for such work unless such contractors are unwilling or unable to perform such work, in which event Tenant may utilize the services of any other qualified contractor which normally and regularly performs similar work in Comparable Buildings. Landlord agrees that Tenant will have access to the Building, the Systems and Equipment, the
- 39 -


Building structure and Real Property to the extent necessary to perform the work contemplated by this provision. Further, if Landlord does not deliver a detailed written objection to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice by Tenant of its costs of taking action which Tenant claims should have been taken by Landlord, and if such invoice from Tenant sets forth a reasonably particularized breakdown of its costs and expenses in connection with taking such action on behalf of Landlord, then Tenant shall be entitled to deduct from Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease, the amount set forth in such invoice together with interest at the Interest Rate. If, however, Landlord in good faith delivers to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s invoice, a written objection to the payment of such invoice, setting forth with reasonable particularity Landlord’s reasons for its claim that such action did not have to be taken by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease or that the charges are excessive (in which case Landlord shall pay the amount it contends would not have been excessive), then Tenant shall not be entitled to such deduction from Rent, but as Tenant’s sole remedy, Tenant may proceed to have such dispute settled pursuant to the proceedings described in Section 29.23 below, and if Tenant obtains a judgment in its favor in such proceedings, Tenant shall have the right to deduct the amount of such judgment and attorneys’ fees awarded in such proceedings from the Rent next due and owing by Tenant under this Lease if such amount and attorneys’ fees are not paid within thirty (30) days after such judgment is issued.
8. Additions and Alterations.
8.1 Landlord’s Consent to Alterations. Except for Cosmetic Alterations (as defined below), Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations”) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations. Such consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than ten (10) business days prior to the commencement thereof, and Landlord shall not withhold, condition or delay its consent for any Alterations except with respect to Alterations which (i) do not comply with applicable laws, (ii) materially and adversely affect the Systems and Equipment or the structural aspects of the Building, (iii) can be seen from outside the Premises, (iv) unreasonably interfere with another tenant’s use of such tenant’s premises for normal business office purposes, and/or (v) do not use materials that are equal to or better than Building standard materials (each, a “Design Problem”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Alterations installed after the First Commencement Date that (A) create a Design Problem described in clause (iii) hereinabove and (B) are other than walls not aligned with existing columns or mullions: (1) Landlord shall act reasonably and in good faith based upon standards generally employed by Comparable Landlords (as defined below) for the Comparable Buildings; and (2) Tenant may install in any space above the ground floor of the Building now or hereafter leased by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, Alterations similar to those existing in any office space in the Building as of the First Commencement Date. Any Design Problems shall be identified at the time Landlord’s provides consent to the Alterations. Further notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may make strictly cosmetic, non-structural alterations, additions or improvements to the interior of the Premises (collectively, the “Cosmetic Alterations”) without Landlord’s consent or payment of any supervision fee, provided that: (a) Tenant delivers to Landlord written notice of such Cosmetic Alterations at least ten (10) days prior to the commencement thereof; (b) such Cosmetic Alterations shall be performed by or on behalf of Tenant in compliance with the other provisions of this Article 8; (c) such Cosmetic Alterations do not require the issuance of a building permit or other governmental approval; (d) such Cosmetic Alterations would not result
- 40 -


in a Design Problem; (e) such Cosmetic Alterations do not exceed $100,000 per project. Any time Tenant proposes to make Alterations other than Cosmetic Alterations, Tenant’s notice regarding the proposed Alterations shall be provided together with the plans and specifications for the Alterations, and Landlord shall approve or disapprove of the same within ten (10) business days after its receipt of the same in accordance with the standard for consent set forth hereinabove. In the event that Landlord shall fail to notify Tenant in writing of its approval or disapproval of a proposed Alteration within such ten (10) business day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved such Alteration. In the event that Landlord shall disapprove of a proposed Alteration because the same contains a Design Problem, Landlord shall notify Tenant of ifs the specific Design Problem which is the reason for such disapproval and Tenant shall have the right to resubmit for Landlord’s approval modified plans and specifications to address Landlord’s reasons for disapproval to eliminate such Design Problem. The construction of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8.
8.2 Manner of Construction. Any time Tenant proposes to make an Alteration which requires the consent of Landlord, Landlord may impose commercially reasonable requirements including, but not limited to, the requirement that upon Landlord’s request made at the time such consent is granted, Tenant shall, utilize for such purposes only contractors (with Swinerton, BCCI Construction, Turner Construction, Howard Building Corporation and Turelk Construction being deemed approved), materials, mechanics and materialmen reasonably approved by Landlord, or provide that Tenant shall utilize an available contractor of Landlord’s selection to perform all work for Alterations that constitute a Design Problem (provided that Landlord shall cause such contractor to charge Tenant for such work an amount equal to the costs that comparable first-class, reputable, and reliable contractors would have charged Tenant if selected pursuant to competitive bidding procedures). Landlord hereby approves the following vendors:
a. Architect(s) – Interior Architects and Gensler Architects
b. MEP Engineer – Building Networks Group
c. Security Integrator(s) - Securitas and IES
d. Audio Visual Integrators – Compview and IVCI
e. Hygienist - CSC
f. Furniture – RDI / Knoll
g. Office Fronts – Steel Case
h. Flooring - Shaw
Tenant shall construct all Alterations and perform any repairs undertaken by Tenant in conformance with all applicable Laws and pursuant to a valid building permit, issued by the City of Los Angeles, and in conformance with Landlord’s reasonable construction rules and regulations. Landlord’s approval of the plans, specifications and working drawings for Tenant’s
- 41 -


Alterations shall create no responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with all Laws, but, subject to Tenant’s obligation to carry out all Alteration work in compliance with the provisions of this Article 8, shall constitute Landlord’s approval of such Alteration. All work with respect to any Alterations must be done in a good and workmanlike manner and diligently prosecuted to completion to the end that the Premises shall at all times be a complete unit except during the period of work. In performing the work of any such Alterations, Tenant shall have the work performed in such manner as not to obstruct access to the Building or the common areas for any other tenant of the Building, and as not to obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants in the Building, or interfere with the labor force working in the Building. In addition to Tenant’s obligations under Article 9 of this Lease, upon completion of any Alterations requiring a building permit and costing in excess of $75,000, Tenant agrees to cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the County of Los Angeles in accordance with Sections 8180-8190 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, and Tenant shall deliver to the Building management office an electronic copy of the record set of drawings of the Alterations.
8.3 Payment for Improvements. In the event Tenant orders any Alteration or repair work directly from Landlord, or from the contractor selected by Landlord, the charges for such work shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease, payable within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of billing therefor (including a reasonably particularized statement setting forth the charges), either periodically during construction or upon the substantial completion of such work, at Landlord’s option. Upon completion of such work, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, if payment is made directly to contractors, evidence of payment, contractors’ affidavits and full and final waivers of all liens for labor, services or materials. If Tenant orders any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a percentage of the cost of such work (such percentage to be established on a uniform basis for the Building and consistent with similar charges imposed by the landlords of the Comparable Buildings) sufficient to compensate Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses arising from Landlord’s involvement with such work, and if Tenant does not order any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable, actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with Landlord’s review’ of such work (without profit or mark-up).
8.4 Construction Insurance. In addition to the requirements of Article 10 of this Lease, in the event that Tenant makes any Alterations, Tenant agrees to carry, or cause the applicable contractors to carry, prior to the commencement of such Alterations, “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 below immediately upon completion thereof. In addition, for work in excess of $250,000.00, Landlord may, in its reasonably discretion, require any Transferee (as defined in Section 14.1 of this Lease), but not the Original Tenant or an Affiliate of the Original Tenant, to obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee.

- 42 -


8.5 Landlord’s Property. All Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment which may be permanently installed in or about the Premises, and all signs installed in, on or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of Landlord, except that Tenant may remove any Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment which are installed, provided Tenant repairs any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal, normal wear and tear excepted. Furthermore, if Landlord requires, at the time Landlord approves of the Alteration, that Tenant be required to remove any Alteration upon the expiration or early termination of the Lease Term, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant no later than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Lease Term, or given upon any earlier termination of this Lease, require Tenant at Tenant’s expense to remove such Alterations and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal (normal wear and tear excepted), subject, however, to the restrictions on Landlord’s right to so require Tenant to remove certain Alterations as provided in Section 15.2 below. If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any Alterations prior to or at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, Landlord may do so upon ten (10) days’ notice to Tenant and may charge the actual, reasonable and documented cost thereof to Tenant (without profit or mark-up). Tenant hereby indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any liability, cost, obligation, expense or claim of lien in any manner relating to the installation, placement, removal or financing of any such Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises, except to the extent the particular work is performed by Landlord and/or such liability, cost, obligation, claim or expense results from Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct.
8.6 Security Scanners. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, during the period of time that Tenant concurrently leases under this Lease all of the floors that are served exclusively by any set of passenger elevators of the Building (e.g. the Building’s low-rise passenger elevators exclusively serve floors 2-17; the Building’s mid-rise passenger elevators exclusively serve floors 18-29; and the Building’s high-rise passenger elevators exclusively serve floors 29-38) (collectively, the “Exclusive Elevators”), Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, and otherwise in compliance with the provisions of this Lease (including, without limitation, the provisions of this Article 8), install and maintain security scanners in the main lobby of the Building to monitor access to such Exclusive Elevators (collectively, the “Security Scanners”). The design, location and specifications of the Security Scanners shall be subject to Landlord’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as the Security Scanners (i) are compatible with the Building’s security systems, (ii) do not cause a Design Problem (except that for purposes of this Section 8.6, the term “Design Problem” shall not include clause (iii) of Section 8.1 above), and (iii) do not affect Landlord’s ability to operate the Building on a commercially reasonable basis. Tenant shall not be charged any rent for use of the space where the Security Scanners are installed. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within thirty (30) days after receipt of invoice from Landlord, for any actual, documented and reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s and its consultants’ review of the plans and specifications for the Security Scanners and/or the installation, use and/or operation by Tenant of the Security Scanners. Tenant shall be solely responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for the monitoring, operation, repair and maintenance of the Security Scanners, and neither Landlord nor the security personnel employed by Landlord shall have any responsibility with respect thereto (including, without limitation, the responsibility to monitor and/or prevent access to any Exclusive Elevators by any persons
- 43 -


entering through the Security Scanners or to respond to the triggering of any sensors indicating a breach of the Security Scanners). Tenant shall provide Landlord with key cards for the Security Scanners installed by Tenant so that Landlord and Landlord’s management and security personnel can access the Exclusive Elevators that are monitored by the Security Scanners to perform any of Landlord’s obligations and/or exercise any of Landlord’s rights under this Lease. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless Landlord, its partners and their respective officers, agents, servants and employees (collectively, the “Indemnified Group”) from and against any and all Claims (as defined below) in connection with or arising from the installation, use and/or operation of the Security Scanners except to the extent such Claims are (A) caused by the negligence and/or willful misconduct of one or more of the Indemnified Group and (B) not covered by property insurance obtained, or required to be obtained, by Tenant pursuant to this Lease and as to which the waiver of subrogation in Section 10.4 below applies. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, remove the Security Scanners and repair any damage to the Building caused by such removal, normal wear and tear excepted, upon the expiration or early termination of this Lease, if Landlord, at its option, requires that Tenant so remove the Security Scanners by written notice delivered to Tenant at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, or given upon any earlier termination of this Lease. In addition, if Tenant no longer leases the entirety of the floors serviced by the Exclusive Elevators for which Security Scanners previously have been installed, Landlord may, at its option, by written notice to Tenant, require Tenant to remove such Security Scanners, in which event Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, remove such Security Scanners and repair any damage to the Building caused by such removal. If Tenant fails to timely complete any such removal and/or repair work, Landlord may do so upon ten (10) days’ notice to Tenant and may charge the actual, reasonable and documented cost thereof to Tenant (without profit or mark-up).
9. Covenant Against Liens.
Tenant has no authority or power to cause or permit any lien or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever, whether created by act of Tenant, operation of law or otherwise, to attach to or be placed upon the Real Property, Building or Premises, and any and all liens and encumbrances created by Tenant shall attach to Tenant’s interest only. Landlord shall have the right at all times to post and keep posted on the Premises any reasonably sized notice which it deems necessary for protection from such liens. In the event that other than due to Landlord’s failure to timely disburse any tenant improvement allowance required to be disbursed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease, any lien of mechanics or materialmen or others is placed against the Real Property, the Building or the Premises with respect to work or services claimed to have been performed for or materials claimed to have been furnished to Tenant or the Premises, Tenant covenants and agrees to cause it to be released and removed of record (by bonding or otherwise) within fifteen (15) business days after its receipt of written notice from Landlord regarding the existence of such lien. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, in the event that such lien is not released and removed (by bonding or otherwise) on or before the date occurring fifteen (15) business days after written notice of such lien is delivered by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord, at its sole option, may immediately take all action necessary to release and remove such lien, without any duty to investigate the validity thereof, and all sums, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, actually incurred by Landlord
- 44 -


in connection with such lien shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease and shall be due and payable by Tenant within thirty (30) days of receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor.
10. Indemnification and Insurance.
10.1 Indemnification and Waiver. To the extent not prohibited by law, Landlord, its partners and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and independent contractors shall not be liable to Tenant (except as expressly provided in Section 19.8.2, or elsewhere in this Lease) for any damage to property resulting from the loss of use thereof, which damage is sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant, due to the occurrence of any accident or event in or about the Building, Real Property and/or the Parking Areas, or due to any act or neglect of any tenant or occupant of the Building, including the Premises, or of any other person, including without limitation, any damage caused by gas, electricity, steam, sewage, sewer gas or odors, fire, water or by the bursting or leaking of pipes, faucets, sprinklers, plumbing fixtures and windows, or to any other cause regardless of whether of an entirely different nature; provided, however, the provisions of this sentence shall not be applicable to any such damage to the extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, contractors, servants or employees, or to any default by Landlord in the observance or performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease to be performed on Landlord’s part. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless Landlord, its partners and their respective officers, agents, servants and employees from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with or arising from any cause in, on or about the Premises, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (A) any default by Tenant in the observance or performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed or performed; (B) the use or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or any person claiming by, through or under Tenant; (C) the condition of the Premises or any occurrence on the Premises from any cause whatsoever, except to the extent such occurrence is the result of (1) a condition or occurrence originating outside the Premises that is not described in clause (D) hereinbelow, or (2) Hazardous Materials that exist in or outside the Premises as of the First Commencement Date or which thereafter were placed in the Premises or found to be in or outside the Premises to the extent not (x) introduced, disposed of or otherwise caused by Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties or (y) in any tenant improvements, alterations, fixtures, equipment or personal property installed by or for Tenant in the Premises, Building or Real Property; or (E) any acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, or of the contractors, agents, servants, employees, or licensees of Tenant or any such person, in, on or about the Premises, Real Property, and/or the Parking Areas either prior to, during, or after the expiration of the Lease Term, including, without limitation, any acts, omissions or negligence in the making or performance of any Alterations or the Tenant Improvements by Tenant, provided that Tenant shall not be required to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from, nor does Tenant hereby waive any claim against Landlord for, any loss, cost, liability, damage or expense, including, but not limited to, penalties, fines, attorneys’ fees or costs (collectively, “Claims”), to any person, property or entity resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, contractors, servants or employees, in connection with Landlord’s operation of the Building, Real Property and/or Building Parking Area or the failure of Landlord to perform any of its obligations under this Lease (except for damage to any improvements or alterations in the Premises [including the Tenant Improvements] and Tenant’s
- 45 -


personal property, fixtures, furniture and equipment in the Premises, to the extent such damage is covered by Tenant’s required insurance coverage hereunder, or if Tenant had carried the insurance required hereunder would have been covered; but not to the extent of any insurance deductibles permitted to be carried by Tenant hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations or exceptions to Landlord’s liability contained in this Section 10.1, Landlord hereby indemnifies, defends, protects and holds Tenant harmless from any such excluded Claims described in the immediately preceding sentence; provided further that because Landlord is required to maintain property damage insurance on the Building and Tenant compensates Landlord for such insurance as part of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses and because of the existence of waivers of subrogation set forth in Section 10.4 of this Lease, Landlord hereby indemnifies, defends, protects, and holds Tenant harmless from any Claims for any property damage or loss to any portion of the Building, Improvements or equipment located outside the Premises to the extent such Claim is covered by such insurance or damages due to the failure of Landlord to perform any of its obligations under this Lease (or if Landlord had carried the insurance required hereunder would have been covered; but not to the extent of any insurance deductibles permitted to be carried by Landlord hereunder), even if resulting from the negligent acts or omissions of Tenant or those of its agents, contractors, servants, employees or licensees. Similarly, since Tenant must carry property damage insurance pursuant to this Article 10 to cover its personal property within the Premises and the Real Property, and any tenant improvements and Alterations in the Premises (including the Tenant Improvements), Tenant hereby indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any Claims for any property damage or loss to any such items to the extent arising from any event to the extent such Claims are covered by such insurance (or if Tenant had carried the insurance required hereunder would have been covered; but not to the extent of any insurance deductibles permitted to be carried by Tenant hereunder), even if resulting from the negligent acts or omissions of Landlord or those of its agents, contractors, servants, employees or licensees. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability occurring prior to such expiration or termination. No provision of this Section 10.1 shall affect the waivers of subrogation described in Section 10.4 of this Lease. Each party’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall include the obligation, at the indemnified party’s request, to defend the indemnified party with counsel reasonably acceptable to such indemnified party, at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.
10.2 Landlord’s Insurance and Tenant’s Compliance with Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord shall maintain during the Lease Term a policy or policies of property insurance insuring the Building, Real Property and Building Parking Area against loss or damage due to fire and other casualties covered within the classification of “all risk” or “special form” coverage, to the extent available on a commercially reasonable basis, for the full replacement cost of the covered items determined in a commercially reasonable manner. Such coverage shall be in amounts that meet any co-insurance clauses of the policies of insurance. Landlord shall be permitted to carry such deductibles with respect to such property insurance as are customarily carried from time to time by reasonably prudent
- 46 -


landlords of the Comparable Buildings. Landlord shall also maintain a policy or policies of commercial general liability insurance covering the Building, Building Parking Area and the Real Property and the performance by Landlord of its indemnity agreements set forth in Section 10.1 of this Lease, in such amounts and with such deductibles as are customarily carried from time to time by reasonably prudent landlords of the Comparable Buildings. As of the date of this Lease Landlord currently carries commercial general liability coverage in limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence, with umbrella coverage of $100,000,000 per occurrence. Additionally, at the option of Landlord, Landlord’s property insurance coverage may include the risks of earthquakes and/or flood damage and additional hazards, a rental loss endorsement and one or more loss payee endorsements in favor of the holders of any mortgages or deeds of trust encumbering the interest of Landlord in the Real Property or the ground or underlying lessors of the Real Property, or any portion thereof. Upon inquiry by Tenant, from time to time, Landlord shall inform Tenant of such coverage carried by Landlord. Tenant shall neither use the Premises nor permit the Premises to be used or acts to be done therein which will: (i) increase the premium of any insurance described in this Section 10.2 unless Tenant agrees to pay for such increase in premium (which payment shall be made by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of invoice therefor from Landlord); (ii) cause a cancellation of or be in conflict with any such insurance policies of Landlord; or (iii) result in a refusal by insurance companies of good standing to insure the Building or the Real Property in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; provided, that Landlord agrees that Tenant’s use of the Premises for the Permitted Use and otherwise in compliance with this Lease will not cause or result in any of the matters referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) hereinabove. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, comply as to the Premises with all reasonable insurance company requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises. If Tenant’s conduct or use of the Premises causes any increase in the premium for such insurance policies, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such increase. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations or requirements of the American Insurance Association (formerly the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and with any similar body.
10.3 Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant shall maintain during the Lease Term the following coverages in the following amounts.
10.3.1 A policy or policies of commercial general liability insurance covering the insured against claims of bodily injury, personal injury and property damage arising out of Tenant’s occupancy, assumed liabilities or use of the Premises, including coverage with respect to the insuring provisions of this Lease and the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreements set forth in Section 10.1 of this Lease, for limits of liability not less than:
Bodily Injury and
Property Damage Liability $1,000,000 each occurrence
$2,000,000 annual aggregate
Personal Injury Liability $1,000,000 each occurrence
$2,000,000 annual aggregate
Umbrella Coverage $5,000,000

10.3.2 Property insurance covering (i) all office furniture, trade fixtures, office equipment, merchandise and all other items of Tenant’s property on the Premises installed by, for, or at the expense of Tenant, (ii) all leasehold improvements in the Premises, (iii) all other improvements, alterations and additions to the Premises, and (iv) the Telecommunication Equipment. Such insurance shall insure against loss or damage due to fire and other casualties covered within the classification of “all risk” or “special form” coverage, to the extent available on a commercially reasonable basis, for the full replacement cost of the
- 47 -


covered items determined in a commercially reasonable manner, and in amounts that meet any co-insurance clauses of the policies of insurance.
10.3.3 Comprehensive Automobile Insurance covering all owned, non-owned and hired automobiles of Tenant with combined single limit not less than:
Bodily Injury Liability $1,000,000 each accident
Property Damage Liability $1,000,000 each accident

10.3.4 Form of Policies. The minimum limits of policies of insurance required of Landlord and Tenant under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of either party under this Lease. Tenant’s insurance shall: (i) name as an additional insured on Tenant’s general liability policy on a blanket basis, Landlord, and all mortgage or deed of trust holders or lessors of any underlying ground leases respecting the Real Property, the identity of whom Landlord has provided Tenant with not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice; (ii) specifically cover Tenant’s indemnification obligations under Section 10.1 of this Lease except to the extent such obligations arise as a result of a default by Tenant; (iii) be issued by an insurance company having a rating of not less than A-VII in Best’s Insurance Guide or such lesser rating which is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord and licensed to do business in the State of California; (iv) be primary insurance as to all claims thereunder and provide that any insurance carried by Landlord is excess and is non-contributing with any insurance requirement of Tenant; and (v) contain a cross-liability endorsement or severability of interest clause. Landlord’s insurance shall comply with the requirements of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, with all references to Landlord in such clauses modified to refer to Tenant, and all references to Tenant modified to refer to Landlord. Tenant shall send a link to the Memorandum of Insurance to Landlord at or before the expiration dates thereof. In the event Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to provide the Memorandum of Insurance, Landlord may, at its option, upon at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Tenant, procure such policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after delivery to Tenant of the bills thereof, unless within such fifteen (15) days, Tenant procures such insurance (if Tenant did not have coverage) and delivers to Landlord a Memorandum of Insurance as required above. Tenant shall provide Landlord written notice of its receipt of any notice of cancellation of any insurance or of any coverage changed below that required herein. Upon reasonable request by Tenant, Landlord shall make available for Tenant’s review at the Building management office, copies of the applicable insurance policies evidencing the existence of Landlord’s required insurance hereunder.
10.4 Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant agree to have their respective insurance companies issuing property damage insurance waive any rights of subrogation that such companies may have against Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, to the extent such waivers are routinely and customarily available. As long as such waivers of subrogation are contained in their respective insurance policies, or would have been contained in such insurance policies had the responsible party used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such waivers and such waivers are routinely and customarily available, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any right that either may have against the other on account of any loss or damage to their respective property to the extent such loss or damage is insurable under policies of insurance maintained or
- 48 -


required to be maintained hereunder. if either party fails to carry the amounts and types of insurance required to be carried by it pursuant to this Article 10, such failure shall be deemed to be a covenant and agreement by such party to self-insure with respect to the type and amount of insurance which such party so failed to carry, with full waiver of subrogation with respect thereto.
10.5 Additional Insurance ObligationsTenant shall carry and maintain during the entire Lease Term, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, increased amounts of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to Section 10.3.1 above, as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, but in no event shall such increased amounts of insurance be in excess of that required by landlords of Comparable Buildings for tenants comparable to Tenant.
10.6 Self-Insurance. So long as Tenant maintains a Tangible Net Worth (as defined below) in excess of Five Hundred Million Dollars ($500,000,000.00), Tenant may provide self-insurance in lieu of the insurance required in Sections 10.3 and 10.5 above, whether by the establishment of an insurance fund or reserve to be held and applied to make good losses from casualties, or otherwise, which conforms to the practice of large corporations maintaining systems of self-insurance or by simply sending a notice to Landlord stating that it will be responsible to pay all Claims as if it was an insurance company providing the insurance coverage Tenant was otherwise obligated to obtain under this Lease. As used herein, “Tangible Net Worth” means the excess of total assets over total liabilities, in each case as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“GAAP”), excluding, however, from the determination of total assets, all assets which would be classified as intangible assets under GAAP including, without limitation, goodwill, licenses, patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, and franchises. Prior to Tenant electing to self-insure under this Section 10.6, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord Tenant’s annual report evidencing such minimum $500,000,000.00 Tangible Net Worth requirement, which annual report shall be prepared by a national firm of certified public accountants in accordance with GAAP and certified as accurate (the “Annual Report”). Thereafter while Tenant is continuing to self-insure under this Section 10.6, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, within forty-five (45) days after written request therefor from Landlord made after the end of each fiscal year, a current Annual Report for the prior fiscal year evidencing such $500,000,000.00 minimum Tangible Net Worth. If at any time Tenant’s Tangible Net Worth is less than $500,000,000.00, then Tenant shall be required to immediately obtain and maintain the insurance provided for in Sections 10.3 and 10.5 above. If Tenant self-insures any of the risks to which coverage is required under Sections 10.3 and/or 10.5 above, Tenant’s self-insurance protection shall be deemed to include (and Tenants self-insurance shall be deemed to include) the waivers of subrogation and the additional insured status mentioned above in favor of Landlord, its lenders and any other parties Landlord so specifies as provided in Section 10.3 above. Furthermore, (i) the self-insurance protection shall be equivalent to the coverage required under Sections 10.3 and 10.5 above, and Tenant shall not be relieved from the indemnification obligations of this Lease, (ii) Tenant shall be responsible for, assume all liability for, and release and waive all right of recovery against Landlord and its partners and members and subpartners and submembers, and their respective officers, agents, property managers, servants, employees, and independent contractors for, the costs of any loss or claim to the extent that such loss or claim would have been covered by the insurance Tenant would have otherwise been required to maintain hereunder, and (iii) Tenant shall pay all amounts on behalf of Landlord and its partners and members and subpartners and submembers, and their respective officers, agents, property managers, servants, employees, and independent contractors (and waive, release, protect, indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Landlord and its partners and members and subpartners and submembers, and their respective officers, agents, property managers, servants, employees, and independent contractors from and against) any and all Claims incurred by Landlord (and its partners and members and subpartners and submembers, and their respective officers, agents, property managers, servants, employees, and independent contractors) which would have been payable or insured against by a hypothetical third-party insurer for the benefit of Tenant and/or Landlord (and its partners and members and subpartners and submembers, and their
- 49 -


respective officers, agents, property managers, servants, employees, and independent contractors) had Tenant maintained the insurance required under Sections 10.3 and 10.5 above with deemed full waiver of subrogation in favor of Landlord (and its partners and members and subpartners and submembers, and their respective officers, agents, property managers, servants, employees, and independent contractors), and with reasonable deductible amounts applicable to such policies. If Tenant fails to comply with the requirements relating to self-insurance and insurance, Landlord may, in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.3.4 above, obtain such insurance and Tenant shall pay to Landlord immediately on demand the premium cost thereof. It is expressly understood that the self-insurance permitted above does not relieve Tenant of its statutory obligations under Workers’ Compensation laws.
11. Damage and Destruction.
11.1 Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. If the Premises, Building Parking Area or any common areas of the Building serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 11, restore the Premises, Building Parking Area and such common areas to the condition existing prior such fire or other casualty. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the Premises, Building Parking Area and common areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications thereto (i) required by zoning and building codes and other laws, or (ii) reasonably required by the holder of a mortgage on the Building or reasonably deemed desirable by Landlord, provided (A) access to any common restrooms serving the Premises and Tenant’s access to and use of the Premises and Building Parking Area shall not be materially impaired, and (B) such Premises, Building Parking Area and any common areas will be in a condition that is equal or better than the condition of such items immediately prior to the damage and destruction. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, if this Lease is not terminated, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance required under Sections 10.3.2(ii) and (iii) of this Lease to the extent necessary to reimburse Landlord on a progress payment basis for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the repair of any such damage, and Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the leasehold improvements and Alterations installed in the Premises and shall return such leasehold improvements and Alterations 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, plus the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Landlord’s insurance carrier to the extent allocable to damage of the leasehold improvements and Alterations, the cost of such repair shall be paid by Tenant on a progress-payment basis, but only after exhaustion of Tenant’s and Landlord’s
- 50 -


insurance proceeds received by Landlord and allocable to the damage of the leasehold improvements and Alterations. In connection with such repairs and replacements, Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of construction, submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Tenant and Landlord shall select the general contractor to perform such improvement work and if they do not agree as to the identity of the general contractor, Landlord shall select the general contractor on the basis of a reputation for high quality work, integrity, timeliness of performance and financial stability, and, if commercially reasonable and practicable under the circumstances, after competitively bidding such improvement work to at least three (3) general contractors designated by Landlord and reasonably acceptable to Tenant (with respect to any such competitive bidding procedure, Landlord shall select as the general contractor to perform such improvement work, the general contract submitting the lowest bid and is able to meet Landlord’s commercially reasonable schedule for the performance of 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, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises, Building Parking Areas (unless Landlord provides reasonable substitute parking) or common areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy of or access to the Premises, Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Rent during the time and to the extent to which Tenant is denied access to the Premises and/or to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease (including due to lack of parking unless Landlord provides reasonable substitute parking), and not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof; provided, further, if the Premises or common areas providing access to the Premises are damaged such that the portion of the Premises which is fit for occupancy and to which Tenant is permitted access is not sufficient to allow Tenant to conduct its business operations from such remaining portion and Tenant does not conduct its business operations therefrom, Landlord shall allow Tenant a total abatement of Rent during the time and to the extent Tenant is denied access to the Premises and/or the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease, and not occupied by Tenant as a result of the subject damage.
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 and/or Building and instead terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant ninety (90) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) repairs cannot reasonably be substantially completed within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); or (ii) as a result of the casualty in question, (A) Landlord would have to repair “uninsured” or “underinsured” damage to the Building (“uninsured” or “underinsured” meaning that Landlord does not have insurance proceeds from third party insurance companies with respect to such damage to the Building, provided that Landlord would also not have such insurance proceeds had Landlord carried the insurance required under this Lease) at a cost in excess of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), (B) Landlord terminates the leases of all other tenants of the Building leasing a full floor or more similarly affected by the damage and destruction which, with respect to tenants of the Building leasing space pursuant to leases in effect as of the date of this Lease, contain termination rights in
- 51 -


favor of Landlord permitting Landlord to terminate such leases in the event of an uninsured or underinsured casualty damage (it being agreed by Landlord that Landlord shall not modify any such existing leases to eliminate any such termination rights), and (C) Landlord covenants to Tenant in writing that Landlord will not commence any repairs of such damaged portions of the Premises and/or Building within nine (9) months following the date of casualty for the purposes of leasing the Premises to third parties, and such covenant by Landlord shall survive any such termination of this Lease, the breach of which shall, without limitation, subject Landlord to liability to Tenant for any actual damages suffered by Tenant as a result therefrom. For purposes of clause (C) hereinabove, “repairs” shall not be deemed to include repairs to the extent required by applicable law or reasonably necessary to ensure safety in or around the Building and/or any such damaged portions of the Premises or Building. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord’s termination right as provided hereinabove, and the repairs cannot reasonably be substantially completed within two hundred forty (240) days after being commenced (which 240-day period shall be subject to extension as a result of any Force Majeure events and delays caused by Tenant), Tenant may elect, no earlier than sixty (60) days after the date of the damage and not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of such damage, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in the notice. Furthermore, if neither Landlord nor Tenant have terminated this Lease, and the repairs are not actually substantially completed within the period (the “Outside Repair Period”) which is the later of (A) such 240-day period, and (B) the estimated time period for repairs to have been substantially completed as provided hereinabove (which Outside Repair Period shall be subject to extension as a result of any Force Majeure events and delays caused by Tenant), Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease within five (5) business days of the end of such Outside Repair Period and thereafter during the first five (5) business days of each calendar month following the end of such Outside Repair Period until such time as the repairs are substantially 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 five (5) business days following the end of such Outside Repair Period or each such month, as the case may be. 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, a certificate of Landlord’s contractor responsible for the repair of the damage certifying that it is such contractor’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-day period, then the Damage Termination Notice shall be of no force or effect, but if the repairs shall not be substantially completed within such thirty-day period, then this Lease shall terminate upon the expiration of such thirty-day period. On or before thirty (30) days after the date of a damage or destruction, Landlord shall inform Tenant of Landlord’s reasonable opinion of the projected date of completion of the repairs and whether adequate insurance proceeds will be available to cover the cost of repair and restoration.
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 any other portion of the Real Property, and any statute or regulation of the State of California, including,
- 52 -


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 any other portion of the Real Property.
11.4 Damage Near End of Term. In the event that the Premises or any of the common areas servicing or providing access to the Premises is destroyed or damaged to any substantial extent (i.e., the time to repair such substantial damage will exceed one hundred eighty (180) days or the remainder of the Lease Term, whichever is less) during the last eighteen (18) months of the Lease Term (as such Lease Term may have been previously extended pursuant to Rider No. 2 to Lease or otherwise), then notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 11, Landlord or Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other party of the exercise of such option within thirty (30) days after such damage or destruction, in which event: (i) this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such notice; (ii) Tenant shall pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent, properly apportioned up to such date of damage; (iii) Landlord shall refund to Tenant the Base Rent and Additional Rent prepaid by Tenant and attributable to the period of time following the date of such damage; and (iv) both parties hereto shall thereafter he freed and discharged of all further obligations hereunder, except as provided for in provisions of this Lease which by their terms survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. In the event Landlord elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 11.4, Tenant shall have the right to exercise any remaining renewal options, and in such event, the other sections of this Article 12 shall apply.
12. Nonwaiver.
No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be implied by (i) any failure of either party to insist in any instance on the strict keeping, observance or performance of any covenant or agreement contained in the Lease or exercise any election contained in the Lease or (ii) any failure of either party to enforce any remedy on account of the violation of such provision, even if such violation shall continue or be repeated subsequently, any waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease may only be in writing, and no express waiver shall affect any provision other than the one specified in such waiver and that one only for the time and in the manner specifically stated. 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.
13. Condemnation.
13.1 Permanent Taking. If the whole or any major part of the Premises or a major portion of the Building 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
- 53 -


manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any part of the Premises or Building, 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 upon one hundred eighty (180) days’ notice, provided such notice is given no later than sixty (60) days after the date of such taking, condemnation, reconfiguration, vacation, deed or other instrument and provided all other similarly situated tenants’ leases are also terminated. If so much of the Premises, Building or the Real Property is taken so as to substantially interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business from the Premises, or if access to the Premises is substantially impaired, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon one hundred eighty (180) days’ notice, provided such notice is given no later than sixty (60) days after the date of such taking. Landlord and Tenant shall each be entitled to receive fifty percent (50%) of the “bonus value” of the leasehold estate in connection therewith, which bonus value shall be equal to the sum paid by the condemning authority as the award for compensation for taking the leasehold created by this Lease. 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 claim is payable separately to Tenant. All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination, or the date of such taking, whichever shall first occur. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, 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 California Code of Civil Procedure.
13.2 Temporary Taking. 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 and 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. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary Taking.
14. Assignment and Subletting.
14.1 Transfers.
14.1.1 Tenant shall not, without the prior written reasonable consent of Landlord except as provided herein to the contrary, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment or other such foregoing transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law except as provided herein, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by any persons other than Tenant and its employees (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to 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”). For purposes of this Lease, an “Approved Transferee” shall mean (i) any Affiliate (as defined in Section 14.5 below) that is an assignee of Tenant’s entire interest in this Lease, (ii) any other assignee of Tenant’s entire interest in this Lease approved by Landlord pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Article 14, and (iii) any sublessee of the entire Office Space portion of the Premises then leased by
- 54 -


Tenant for the entire balance of the Lease Term which sublessee is approved by Landlord pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Article 14.
14.1.2 In no event shall the terms of a proposed Transfer provide the Transferee with a right of first offer to all or any portion of the Premises. If Tenant shall desire 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) the substantive terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing 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) in the case of a proposed assignment of the Lease or a proposed sublease involving three (3) or more floors of the Premises, current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, (v) any other information reasonably required by Landlord, which will enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility (in the case of a proposed assignment of the Lease or a proposed sublease involving three (3) or more floors of the Premises), character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee’s business and proposed use of the Subject Space, and (vi) such other information as Landlord may reasonably require. Landlord shall approve or disapprove of the proposed Transfer within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of the applicable Transfer Notice. Any Transfer made without Landlords prior written consent shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect. Whether or not Landlord shall grant consent, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with its review of a proposed Transfer; provided, however, in the event that the Transfer is a sublease of other than three (3) or more floors of the Premises and Tenant uses Landlord’s approved form to evidence such sublease (with red-lined changes where appropriate), Landlord’s legal fees and expenses in connection with the review of such sublease shall not exceed $2,500.00 during the initial Lease Term, and $5,000.00 during any extension thereafter.
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, no restriction in any other tenant or subtenant’s lease or sublease restricting the subleasing of space to another tenant in the Real Property shall be enforced by Landlord as to Tenant and/or the other tenant or subtenant so as to prevent or restrict an assignment, sublease or sub-sublease to Tenant if either (A) Landlord has no available space in the Building for direct lease to Tenant of comparable size as the proposed space to be assigned to or sublet by Tenant from such other tenant or subtenant (herein, the “Proposed Sublease Space”), or (B) the Proposed Sublease Space is contiguous to any space in the Building then leased by Tenant under this Lease or is located below the 30th floor of the Building (unless Landlord has available space in the Building for direct lease to Tenant of comparable size as the Proposed Sublease Space and such available space consists of space in the Building that was once leased by Tenant under this Lease or the Existing Lease).
14.2 Landlord’s Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or condition its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the turns specified in the Transfer Notice. The parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this
- 55 -


Lease for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply, without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent:
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 as determined with reference to the then existing tenants of the Building;
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 (i) is a governmental agency or instrumentality whose use of the space shall involve the rendering of welfare-related services and/or unusually heavy pedestrian visitor traffic, (ii) is a governmental agency or an instrumentality of a foreign country, (iii) is of a character or reputation, is engaged in a business, or is of, or is associated with, a political orientation or faction or other cause, which is materially inconsistent with the quality of the Building, may result in repeated demonstrations or other events which may disrupt the use, occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Building by other tenants or occupants or which would otherwise reasonably offend a landlord of a Comparable Building, or (iv) is a governmental agency or instrumentality which is capable of exercising the power of eminent domain or condemnation; provided, however, if Landlord has voluntarily and directly leased, in the aggregate pursuant to one lease or a series of leases, at least 20,000 rentable square feet of space in the Building to an entity or entities described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or(iv) above, such clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), as the case may be, shall not be applicable to the extent a proposed Transferee is of comparable prestige, character, and reputation and comparable or smaller in size (based on the aggregate amount of rentable square feet voluntarily and directly leased by Landlord to a tenant or tenants described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), as the case may be);
14.2.4 The Transfer will result in more than a reasonable and safe number of occupants per floor within the Subject Space;
14.2.5 In the case of an assignment of the Lease or a sublease involving three (3) or more floors of the Premises, the Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities involved under the Lease on the date consent is requested (with such financial worth and stability to be determined after taking into account any credit enhancements provided by the Transferee as part of the Transfer, but only if such credit enhancements benefit Landlord and are consistent with the credit enhancements accepted by Landlord for direct leases of space in the Building covering comparable obligations as the proposed Transfer with tenants of financial worth and stability comparable to that of the Transferee) when taking into consideration Tenant’s continuing liability;
14.2.6 The proposed Transfer would cause Landlord to be in violation of another lease or agreement to which Landlord is a party, or would give an occupant of the Building a right to cancel its lease; Landlord hereby represents that for purposes of this Section 14.2.6, no lease of space in the retail/office tower portion of the Building currently provides any tenant with any exclusive use or restricts the right of Landlord to lease space in the retail/office tower portion of the Building to tenants of any particular type or character; Landlord
- 56 -


shall provide Tenant with reasonable written notice of any such provisions or restrictions hereafter included in any lease of space in the retail/office tower portion of the Building; or
14.2.7 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, is actively negotiating with Landlord in good faith to lease space in the Building at such time and comparable space to the subject space is available for lease. 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 14.3 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 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 Notice to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14.
14.3 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”), then Tenant shall give Landlord notice (“Intention to Transfer Notice”) of such Contemplated Transfer. The Intention to Transfer Notice shall specify the portion and number of rentable square feet of the Premises which Tenant intends to transfer (“Contemplated Transfer Space”), the contemplated date of the commencement of the term of such Contemplated Transfer (“Contemplated Effective Date”), and the contemplated length of such Contemplated Transfer, and shall specify that such Intention to Transfer Notice is delivered to Landlord pursuant to this Section 14.3 in order to allow Landlord to elect to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space. Thereafter, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Intention to Transfer Notice, to recapture such Contemplated Transfer Space upon the basic terms and conditions specified in the Intention to Transfer Notice. In the event such option is exercised by Landlord, and Tenant does not revoke its Transfer Notice by delivering written notice of such revocation to Landlord within fifteen (15) days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s election to recapture, this Lease shall be cancelled and terminated (or when appropriate, suspended if the last day of the term of the Contemplated Transfer is not the last day of the Lease Term or when appropriate, the last day of a renewal period and at the end of the suspension period, such Premises, or where appropriate, portion of the Premises, shall be returned to Tenant in the same condition as when received, reasonable wear and tear excepted) with respect to all of the Contemplated Transfer Space as of the date stated in the Intention to Transfer Notice as of the Contemplated Effective Date until the last day of the term of the Contemplated Transfer. In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be cancelled with respect to less than the entire Premises, (i) 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, (ii) Tenants parking passes described in Section 26.1 of this Lease shall be reduced, 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 the request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord fails to timely elect to recapture the Contemplated
- 57 -


Transfer Space under this Section 14.3, then, for a period of one (1) year (“One Year Period”) commencing on the last day of such thirty (30) day period, Tenant may transfer the Contemplated Transfer Space provided that any such Transfer is upon terms not materially inconsistent with the teams set forth in the Intention to Transfer Notice; 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 One Year Period (or if a Transfer is so consummated, then upon the expiration of the term of the Transfer for such Contemplated Transfer Space consummated within such One Year Period), or if Tenant desires to effectuate a Transfer during such One Year Period on terms materially inconsistent with the terms set forth in the Intention to Transfer Notice, Tenant shall again be required to submit a new Intention to Transfer Notice to Landlord with respect to any Contemplated Transfer, as provided in this Section 14.3. Tenant may deliver a Transfer Notice and an Intention to Transfer Notice simultaneously or at different times and the periods provided for Landlord’s approval following its receipt of the same, as set forth in Sections 14.2 and 14.3 respectively, shall commence upon Landlord’s receipt of each such notice notwithstanding the fact that such periods may overlap.
14.4 Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (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 (or a certified conformed copy) of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (iv) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant from liability under this Lease. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof.
14.5 Non-Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, Landlord’s consent shall not be required, the provisions of this Article 14 shall not be applicable to or in connection with, and the following shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Article 14; (a) any transfer of equity interest in Tenant; or (b) any sublease or assignment to (i) any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant (including but not limited to any company in the control or under the common control of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc.); (ii) any subsidiary or parent of Tenant or to any subsidiary of any parent of Tenant, (iii) the surviving entity resulting from a merger or consolidation of Tenant; (iv) the acquirer of substantially all of Tenant’s assets or stock or (v) any other entity Controlled directly or indirectly by any of the foregoing entities (collectively, “Affiliate”). “Control” means the ability, directly or indirectly, to direct management and policies of another person or entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of any assignment or sublease pursuant to this Section 14.5 and promptly supply Landlord with any documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such assignment or sublease or such Affiliate, and further provided that such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article 14, Tenant shall not be permitted to assign or sublease all or any portion of the Premises to an Affiliate (or permit occupancy of the Premises by an Affiliate) if such assignment or sublease (or occupancy) would cause a violation of another lease for space in the Building or would give an
- 58 -


occupant of the Building a right to cancel its Lease, provided that Landlord has previously notified Tenant of the restrictions which result in such violation or cancellation; and provided further, that for purposes of this Section 14.5 no such restrictive provisions shall prohibit a Transfer to an Affiliate due to the fact the business of such Affiliate includes the conducting or offering of retail financial services to the general public, including banks, savings banks, savings and loan institutions, or thrift and loan companies.
14.6 Business Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing provisions of this Article 14, Tenant shall have the right, without being subject to Landlord’s prior consent or Landlord’s recapture option in Section 14.3 above, but upon at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Landlord, to sublease, license or otherwise permit occupancy of up to an aggregate of 15,000 rentable square feet within the Premises to vendors, consultants or clients of Tenant who have an ongoing business relationship with Tenant such as, for example, Pitney Bowes and Jones Lang LaSalle (each a “Business Affiliate”), which sublease, license or occupancy agreement, as the case may be, to a Business Affiliate shall be on and subject to all of the following conditions: (A) all such Business Affiliates shall be of a reputation comparable to the reputation of other tenants of the Building; (B) all such Business Affiliates shall use the Premises for the Permitted Use and otherwise in conformity with all of the applicable provisions of this Lease; (C) each such sublease, license or occupancy agreement is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Article 14; (D) there shall be no separate demising walls or entrances to the space which is the subject of such sublease, license or occupancy agreement; (E) each such sublease, license and occupancy agreement shall be subject to and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease; (F) prior to the effective date of such occupancy agreement, Tenant shall provide Landlord with the name and address of the occupant and a copy of the agreement under which such occupant is occupying the Premises; and (G) no separate signage is provided to any such Business Affiliate. No such sublease, license or occupancy agreement, as the case may be, shall relieve Tenant from any liability under this Lease. If the occupancy of any such Business Affiliate does not satisfy all of the foregoing conditions, then such occupancy shall be deemed to constitute a Transfer and shall be deemed subject to the provisions of this Article 14.
14.7 Recognition Agreement. In the event that, after the First Commencement Date, (i) Tenant desires to enter into a sublease for the remainder of the then-current Lease Term with a proposed subtenant which is not an Affiliate or a Business Affiliate (herein referred to as a “Qualified Subtenant”) where the sublease space consists of at least one (1) full-floor of the Premises (but if the condition in this clause is not initially met, but Tenant subsequently enters into another full floor sublease to the same or other Qualified Subtenant for the remainder of the then-current Lease Term which would result in such condition being satisfied if both subleases were viewed together as one sublease, then such condition shall be deemed satisfied) (herein, a “Qualified Sublease”), and (ii) Tenant requests in connection therewith (which request shall be made (if at all) concurrently with Tenant’s request for consent of such Qualified Sublease delivered by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 above) that Landlord and such Qualified Subtenant enter into a Recognition Agreement (as defined below), then if Tenant and such Qualified Subtenant enter into a sublease (and such sublease and Qualified Subtenant are otherwise consented to by Landlord) pursuant to the other provisions of this Article 14 (such consent by Landlord may be conditioned upon, among the other factors set forth above in this Article 14, that the proposed Qualified Subtenant has sufficient financial wherewithal to not only
- 59 -


meet its obligations under the proposed sublease but also under the Recognition Agreement), then Landlord shall provide the Recognition Agreement for such full floor sublease described hereinabove effective as of the later of (1) the effective date of such subsequent sublease and (2) the date Landlord, Tenant and the Qualified Subtenant of such subsequent sublease execute and deliver Landlord’s consent to such sublease. As used herein, the “Recognition Agreement” shall mean an agreement between Landlord and the Qualified Subtenant of a Qualified Sublease (the exact form of which shall be negotiated in good faith by Landlord, Tenant and such Qualified Subtenant), which provides that if this Lease is terminated as a result of an Event of Default by Tenant: (I) such Qualified Sublease shall thereupon automatically be converted from a sublease to an assignment by Tenant and assumption by such Qualified Subtenant (as an assignee) of all of Tenant’s rights and obligations under this Lease but only with respect to the subleased space under such Qualified Sublease; and (II) Landlord and such subtenant/assignee shall recognize such assignment as a direct lease between Landlord and such subtenant/assignee for such subleased space at the greater of the Rent payable under the Qualified Sublease or the Rent payable under this Lease with respect to such subleased space and upon all of the same other applicable terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease.
15. Surrender of Premises; Ownership and Removal of Trade Fixtures.
15.1 Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in a writing signed by Landlord. 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.
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: (i) quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order and condition as when Tenant took possession and as thereafter improved by Landlord and/or Tenant, except for (A) reasonable wear and tear and (B) damage from casualty which is not specifically made Tenant’s responsibility to repair pursuant to Article 10.1 above; and (ii) without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, free-standing cabinet work, 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, as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, require to be removed, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal. Notwithstanding anything to contrary in the Lease, Tenant shall have no obligation to remove the Landlord Improvements, the Tenant Improvements, or any Alterations or improvements (unless such Alterations or improvements are specialty improvements and Landlord notified Tenant in writing of the removal requirement at the time of approval in accordance with Article 8). In addition, Tenant shall have no obligation
- 60 -


to remove any cabling, conduit or trade fixtures (unless elected, at Tenant sole election) and shall otherwise leave the Premises in its then existing condition unless Tenant elects to terminate the Lease under Rider No. 5 attached hereto, to reduce the size of the Premises under Rider No. 4 attached hereto, or Landlord terminates the Lease due to a Tenant Event of Default, in which case Tenant shall be responsible for such removal at Tenant’s sole cost and expense prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
15.3 Removal of Tenant’s Property by Landlord. Whenever Landlord shall re-enter the Premises as provided in this Lease, any personal property of Tenant not removed by Tenant upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or within ten (10) days after a termination by reason of Tenant’s default as provided in this Lease, shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant and may be disposed of by Landlord in accordance with Sections 1980 through 1991 of the California Civil Code and Section 1174 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, or in accordance with any Laws or judicial decisions which may supplement or supplant those provisions from time to time. Any provision of this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, upon Tenant’s surrender of the Premises at the time of the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, if there shall remain in the Premises any computer servers, desktop stations, laptops, files or other material personal property which could reasonably be expected to contain customer information (collectively, the “Protected Personal Property”), such Protected Personal Property shall not become the property of or be disposed of by Landlord and Landlord shall forbear from enforcing any contractual, statutory or common law interest in or against such Protected Personal Property except as expressly permitted under this Section 15.3. To the extent any Protected Personal Property remains in the Premises, Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice of the same and the right (upon notice to Landlord’s Building manager and to be accompanied by a representative of Landlord) to access the Premises during Landlord’s normal business hours for Tenant to retrieve said items. In the event the Protected Personal Property is not removed by Tenant on or before five (5) business days after the notice is delivered by Landlord, then Landlord may arrange for moving and storage of the Protected Personal Property (in any commercially reasonable manner Landlord so desires) at Tenant’s sole cost and expense for a period of not less than thirty (30) days. Landlord may dispose of or destroy such Protected Personal Property in any commercially reasonable manner permitted by applicable law in the event Tenant has not retrieved such items from storage or paid Landlord’s costs after thirty (30) days. It is Landlord’s intention under this Section 15.3 to reasonably assist Tenant’s requirements with respect to the Protected Personal Property at no cost to Landlord, but in doing so Tenant agrees that Landlord is not undertaking any liability for the Protected Personal Property and such liability shall remain solely with Tenant. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Protected Personal Property may contain sensitive, confidential and/or proprietary information which is subject to federal, state, and local regulations as to ownership, possession, storage, disposal, removal or other handling, but, except in the case of Landlord’s willful misconduct, Landlord (and Landlord’s affiliates, partners, and agents) shall have no liability whatsoever for any theft, mishandling, loss or any other damages whatsoever with respect to any Protected Personal Property remaining in the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. In the event Landlord reasonably requires that the Premises be free of any such Protected
- 61 -


Personal Property (including, without limitation, in order to commence construction in the space or to allow a new tenant to occupy the Premises) immediately after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Landlord shall be permitted to remove and store such Protected Personal Property as provided above without notice to Tenant. In such an event, Tenant shall be responsible for moving and storage costs.
15.4 Landlord’s Actions on Premises. Tenant hereby waives all claims for damages or other liability in connection with, following an Event of Default, Landlord’s reentering and taking possession of the Premises or removing, retaining, storing or selling the property of Tenant as herein provided, and no such re-entry shall be considered or construed to be a forcible entry.
16. Holding Over.
If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term hereof, with or without 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 Base Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to (i) for the first (1st) month of any such holdover, the same Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease, and (ii) thereafter, one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other 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, expenses, damages and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) 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.
17. Estoppel Certificates.
Within twenty (20) days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute 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 Building, or any portion thereof), indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain any other information reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord’s mortgagee or prospective mortgagee. Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other commercially reasonable instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes. Failure of Tenant to timely execute and deliver such estoppel certificate or other instruments shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises and an acknowledgment by Tenant that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception. Landlord hereby agrees to provide to Tenant an estoppel certificate signed by Landlord, containing the same types of information, and within the same periods of time, as set forth above, with such changes as are reasonably
- 62 -


necessary to reflect that the estoppel certificate is being granted and signed by Landlord to Tenant, rather than from Tenant to Landlord or a lender.
18. Subordination.
Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the date of this Lease, Landlord is the fee title owner of the Building and Real Property, unencumbered by any ground lease. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all future ground or underlying leases of the Real Property, if any, and to the lien of any mortgages or trust deeds, now or hereafter in force against the Real Property and the Building, 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, unless the holders of such mortgages or trust deeds, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases, require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto. Within thirty (30) days following the execution and delivery of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver to the other party, and Landlord shall cause the mortgagee under the existing deed of trust on the Real Property to execute and deliver to Tenant, a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement on Landlord’s lender’s form, subject to commercially reasonable modifications negotiated by Tenant and Landlord’s lender. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Article 18, in consideration of, and as a condition precedent to, Tenant’s agreement to be bound by the terms of this Article 18 (including the subordination of this Lease to all future ground leases, mortgages or deeds of trust affecting the Real Property and/or Building), Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement(s) on Landlord’s lender’s form, subject to commercially reasonable modifications negotiated by Tenant and Landlord’s lender, and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to and in favor of Tenant from any ground or underlying lessors, mortgage holders or lien holders of Landlord who come into existence at any time after the date hereof and prior to the expiration of the Lease Term. Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage, or if any ground or underlying lease is terminated, to attorn to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure sale, or to the lessor of such ground or underlying lease, as the case may be, if so requested to do so by such purchaser or lessor, and to recognize such purchaser or lessor as the lessor under this Lease. Such commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement(s) shall include the obligation of any such successor landlord to recognize Tenant’s offset rights specifically set forth in this Lease (including, without limitation, Tenant’s offset rights set forth in Section 7.2 above and Section 19.8.2), and the Allowance set forth in the Tenant Work Letter. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of request by Landlord, and receipt of the commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement(s) reasonably satisfactory to and in favor of Tenant described above, execute such further 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. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale.

19. Defaults; Remedies.
19.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” by Tenant under this Lease:
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, within seven (7) business days of notice that the same was not paid when due, which notice shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor law; or
19.1.2 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 however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor law; and provided further 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 said default as soon as possible; or
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, the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever.
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, lawfully 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:
(i) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus
(ii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(iii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(iv) Any other amount reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease as allowed by applicable Law; plus

- 64 -


(v) At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by 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 (ii), above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate, 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 Event of 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.
19.2.3 Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform or otherwise cure any such obligation, provision, covenant or condition on Tenant’s part to be observed or performed (and may enter the Premises for such purposes). Any such actions undertaken by Landlord pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 19.2.3 shall not be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s rights and remedies as a result of Tenant’s failure to perform and shall not release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.
19.3 Payment by Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of statements therefor, sums equal to expenditures reasonably made and obligations incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s performance or cure of any of Tenant’s obligations pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.2.3 above. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 19.3 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.
19.4 Sublessees of Tenant. Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any Event of Default by Tenant, as set forth in this Article 19, Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, succeed to Tenant’s interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements. If Landlord elects to succeed to Tenant’s interest in any such 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.
19.5 Form of Payment After Default. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to require that for the following twelve (12) month period any or all subsequent amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, whether in the cure of the default in question or otherwise, be paid in the form of cash, money order,
- 65 -


cashier’s or certified check drawn on an institution acceptable to Landlord, or by other means approved by Landlord, notwithstanding any prior practice of accepting payments in any different form.
19.6 Waiver of Default. No waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other or later violation or breach of the same or any other of the terms, provisions, and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by Landlord in enforcement of one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an Event of Default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default. The acceptance of any Rent hereunder by Landlord following the occurrence of any default by Tenant, whether or not known to Landlord, shall not be deemed a waiver of any such default, except only a default in the payment of the Rent so accepted.
19.7 Efforts to Relet. For the purposes of this Article 19, Tenant’s right to possession shall not be deemed to have been terminated by efforts of Landlord to relet the Premises, by its acts of maintenance or preservation with respect to the Premises, or by appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord’s interests hereunder. The foregoing enumeration is not exhaustive, but merely illustrative of acts which may be performed by Landlord without terminating Tenant’s right to possession.
19.8 Landlord’s Default.
19.8.1 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 has failed 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 and subject to the provisions of Section 29.20 below, exercise any of its rights provided in law or in equity.
19.8.2 Abatement of Rent. 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 First Commencement Date and required by this Lease, which substantially interferes with Tenant’s use of the Premises, (ii) any failure to provide services or access to the Premises or the Parking Areas, regardless of whether caused by circumstances beyond Landlord’s control, (iii) the presence of Hazardous Materials in, on or around the Building taking into account the standards and guidelines included in the definition of applicable laws with respect to Hazardous Materials, which pose a significant health risk to occupants of the Premises and are not caused by Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties, or (iv) because of the occurrence of a casualty (each such set of circumstances as set forth in items (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), above, to be known as an “Abatement Event”), then Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such Abatement Event, and if
- 66 -


such Abatement Event continues for five (5) consecutive business days after Landlord’s receipt of any such notice or ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of any such notice(s) in any consecutive twelve (12) month period (the “Eligibility Period”), then the Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses and Tenant’s obligation to pay for parking shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, retroactive to the date of the commencement of the Abatement Event, for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, 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 the commencement of the Abatement Event during which Tenant is so prevented from effectively conducting its business therein, the Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of increases in Direct Expenses and Tenants obligation to pay for parking for the entire Premises shall be abated for such time as Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises for the purpose of conducting business therein. If, however, Tenant reoccupies any portion of the Premises during such period for the purpose of conducting business therein, 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 during the period Tenant reoccupies such portion of the Premises. If Tenant’s right to abatement occurs during a free rent period which arises after the First Commencement Date, Tenant’s free rent period shall be extended for the number of days that the abatement period overlapped the free rent period (the “Overlap Period”). Landlord shall have the right to extend the expiration date of this Lease for a period of time equal to the Overlap Period if Landlord sends a notice to Tenant of such election within ten (10) days following the end of the extended free rent period. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.1 respecting personal injury or damage to Tenant’s property, such right to abate Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses and parking charges shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy at law for damages due to loss of use of the Premises for an Abatement Event; provided, however, that if Landlord has not cured such Abatement Event within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of notice from Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease during the first five (5) business days of each calendar month following the end of such 180-day period until such time as Landlord has cured the Abatement Event, which right may be exercised only by delivery of notice to Landlord (the “Abatement Event Termination Notice”) during such five business-day period, and shall be 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, and not more than six (6) months, following the delivery of the Abatement Event Termination Notice. If Tenant’s right to abatement occurs because of an eminent domain taking and/or because of damage or destruction to the Premises, Tenant’s abatement period shall continue until Tenant has been given sufficient time and sufficient access to the Premises to rebuild that portion of the Premises, if any, which it is required to rebuild pursuant to this Lease and to install its property, furniture, fixtures, and equipment and to move in over a weekend. To the extent Tenant is entitled to abatement without regard to the Eligibility Period, because of an event described in Articles 11 or 13 of this Lease, then the Eligibility Period shall not be applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease
- 67 -


pursuant to the terms of this Section 19.8.2, if (A) as of the date of delivery by Tenant of the Abatement Event Termination Notice, the first trust deed holder of the Building (the “Bank”) has recorded a notice of default on the Building or filed a notice evidencing a legal action by the Bank against Landlord on the Building, and (B) within ten (10) business days following the date of the Abatement Event Termination Notice the Bank notifies Tenant of its intent to proceed to gain possession of the Building, the Bank diligently proceeds to gain possession of the Building, and, to the extent the Bank does gain possession of the Premises, the Bank diligently proceeds to cure such Abatement Event. In addition, Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to the foregoing terms of this Section 19.8.2 if the Abatement Event otherwise giving rise to such termination right is due to a casualty pursuant to Article 11 or a taking pursuant to Article 13, it being agreed that Tenant’s termination rights, if any, with respect to any such damage or destruction or taking shall be governed by and set forth in Articles 11 and 13, respectively, and not this Section 19.8.2. Except as provided in this Section 19.8.2, nothing contained herein shall be interpreted to mean that Tenant is excused from paying Rent due hereunder.
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, 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.
21. Intentionally Omitted.
22. Signs.
22.1 Exterior Signage. As long as the Original Tenant or a successor Qualified Transferee satisfy the Minimum Occupancy Threshold (as such terms are defined in Section 22.9 below): (i) the Building shall continue be called “Union Bank Plaza” or any replacement name for the Original Tenant or any Qualified Transferee described in Section 22.9 below; (ii) Tenant shall be entitled to maintain its current exterior signage, in its form existing as of the date of this Lease, (A) located on the east and west facing Building top parapet walls and displaying the Union Bank logo and/or the name “Union Bank” (the “Current Rooftop Sign”), and (B) located on the exterior wall above the ground floor of the Building and displaying the name “Union Bank Plaza” (the “Current Above Ground Floor Exterior Sign”); (iii) the Current Rooftop Sign (as may be modified and/or replaced by the Modified/New Rooftop Sign, as defined and provided below) and the Current Above Ground Floor Exterior Sign (collectively, the “Exterior Building Signs”) shall be the sole and exclusive signage located on the east and west facing Building top parapet walls; provided, however, that with Tenant’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Landlord shall have the right (at its sole cost and expense and not as part of Operating Expenses) to make modifications to all or a portion of the Exterior Building Signs, as long as such modifications do not, in Tenant’s reasonable judgment, alter the color, or decrease the visibility or dimensions, of the Exterior Building Signs or change in any other way Tenant’s then current standard logo or identification criteria and scheme so long as such current standard logo or
- 68 -


identification criteria and scheme is comparable to that of other major national banks and financial institutions (the “Tenant Signage Criteria”); (iv) Landlord shall not place or permit to be placed any sign in or on the Building or Real Property (excluding any signs currently existing in or on the Building or Real Property as of the date hereof) which is a Prohibited Sign (as defined below) nor shall Landlord place or permit to be placed any sign on the top of Building top parapet walls or the roof of the Building; and (v) Landlord shall not place or permit to be placed any sign on the Building or any other areas of the Real Property located outside the Building which contains the name and/or logo of an entity whose primary business is the operation of a retail bank (except to identify any tenant which leases space from Landlord after the date the New Retail Premises is no longer leased to Tenant or a Qualified Transferee under this Lease, if applicable, but, in such event, the identification sign shall not be placed anywhere on the exterior of the Building above the third (3rd) floor of the Building). Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, throughout the Lease Term, to repair and maintain the Exterior Building Signs in a first-class condition and appearance. In the event that at any time during the Lease Term or any Option Term the Original Tenant or any successor Qualified Transferee fails to satisfy the Minimum Occupancy Threshold and such failure continues for thirty (30) days following receipt of notice from Landlord, Landlord shall at any time thereafter have the right to (1) require Tenant to remove all or any of the Exterior Building Signs and/or (2) change the name of the Building to another name (or discontinue naming the Building as “Union Bank Plaza” or any replacement name for the Original Tenant or any Qualified Transferee). Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or upon the earlier exercise by Landlord of its right to cause the removal of any of the Exterior Building Signs due to the failure by the Original Tenant and a Qualified Transferee to satisfy the Minimum Occupancy Threshold as set forth in Section 23.6 below, Tenant shall, at its cost and expense, cause all of the Exterior Building Signs (or those designated by Landlord for removal due to the failure by the Original Tenant and a Qualified Transferee to satisfy the Minimum Occupancy Threshold) to be removed and repair all damage to the Building resulting from such removal, normal wear and tear excepted.
22.2 Modified/New Rooftop Sign. Subject to the approval of all applicable governmental authorities, compliance with all applicable laws, and compliance with all recorded covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Real Property as of the date of execution and delivery of this Lease (and any hereafter recorded covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Real Property which do not conflict with the terms and conditions of this Lease) (collectively, the “Signage Restrictions”), Tenant may (i) modify the current Rooftop Sign to Tenant’s current sign standards or to install an illumination system therefor, or (ii) replace the Current Rooftop Sign with a new exterior rooftop sign which may be (but does not need to be) illuminated and shall in all events be located in the same approximate location on the east and west facing Building top parapet walls as exists as of the execution of this Lease (collectively, the “Modified/New Rooftop Sign”).
22.3 Specifications. The graphics, materials, color, design, lettering, lighting, size, specifications, manner of affixing and location of the Modified/New Rooftop Sign shall be consistent with Tenant’s signage and graphics program and subject to Landlord’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall be granted if (i) the size of the Modified/New Rooftop Sign is substantially the same size or smaller than the Current Rooftop Sign, and (ii) the composition of the Modified/New Rooftop Sign is either
- 69 -


comparable or better in quality to the Current Rooftop Sign or consistent with the Tenant Signage Criteria (but the Modified/New Rooftop Sign shall in all events contain the same name and logo as exist on the Current Rooftop Sign as of the First Commencement Date or such other replacement name and logo permitted pursuant to Section 22.8 below). Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, (A) Tenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining all required governmental approvals with respect to the Modified/New Rooftop Sign, provided that Landlord shall fully cooperate, at no expense to Landlord, and otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Tenant in connection with Tenant’s efforts to obtain such approvals, (B) provided such failure is not due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant in the event Tenant fails to obtain such required approvals, and (C) such required approvals shall in no event be considered a condition precedent to Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
22.4 Costs of Installation. Tenant shall pay for all costs and expenses related to the design, installation and construction of the Modified/New Rooftop Sign. Tenant shall install the Modified/New Rooftop Sign in compliance with all applicable laws, utilizing contractors reasonably approved by Landlord, and subject to the applicable provisions of Article 8 above. In connection with the installation of the Modified/New Rooftop Sign, Landlord shall fully cooperate, at no expense to Landlord, with Tenant to provide Tenant’s contractors access to the roof for purposes of installing such Modified/New Rooftop Sign.
22.5 Monument Signage. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall be entitled to maintain one (1) of its two (2) current exterior monument sign panels located on the plaza adjacent to the Building, in the form of such signage existing as of the date of this Lease (such remaining monument sign panel, the “Current Monument Signage”, as depicted in Exhibit “G” attached hereto, together with the Exterior Building Signs, collectively, the “Exterior Signs”); provided that with Tenant’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Landlord shall have the right (at its sole cost and expense and not as part of Operating Expenses) to make modifications to all or a portion of the Current Monument Signage, as long as such modifications do not, in Tenant’s reasonable judgment, alter the color or decrease the visibility or dimensions or deviate from the Tenant Signage Criteria, of the Current Monument Signage. Landlord shall have the right to remove the current exterior monument sign panel other than the Current Monument Signage at any time following the execution of this Lease. Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, throughout the Lease Term, to repair and maintain the Current Monument Signage, but not the monument itself, in a first-class condition and appearance, and any warranties given by the manufacturers of the Current Monument Signage, if the same is modified by Landlord, shall inure to Tenant’s benefit.
22.6 Interior Signage. Tenant shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense (subject to application of the Allowance, as defined in the Tenant Work Letter), to identification signage outside the entry doors of those portions of the Premises. The location, quality, design, style, lighting and size of such signage shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and with respect to multi-tenant floors in the Building, shall be consistent with the Landlord’s Building standard signage program, provided, however, Landlord hereby approves of Tenant’s identification signs currently existing as of the date of this Lease that are located outside of the Premises on the floors on which the of the Premises are located. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of
- 70 -


this Lease, Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for the removal of such signage and the repair of all damage to the Building caused by such removal, normal wear and tear excepted.
22.7 Prohibited Signage and Other Items. Except for the Exterior Signs and those signs permitted under Section 22.6, any signs, notices, logos, pictures, names or advertisements which are installed and that have not been individually approved by Landlord may be removed upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice by Landlord to Tenant at the sole expense of Tenant. Other than as specifically permitted in this Article 22, Tenant may not install any signs on the exterior or roof of the Building or in the common areas of the Building or the Real Property. Any signs (other than the Exterior 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 (other than Alterations, the standard of approval for which shall be governed by the provisions of Section 8.1) are subject to the prior approval of Landlord acting reasonably and in good faith based upon standards generally employed by Comparable Landlords for the Comparable Buildings (except that Landlord may withhold such approval in its sole discretion with respect to any signs, window coverings or blinds which are visible from the exterior of the Building other than Building standard window coverings or blinds); provided, however, Landlord hereby approves of Tenant’s signs, window coverings and blinds that are currently visible from the exterior of the Premises or Building as of the date of this Lease, standard bronze fascia Mechoshade “Urbanshades” with 3% open 1612 Thompson fabric and bronze fascia or acceptable alternative approved by Landlord, and black secondary shades in the south and west elevations.
22.8 Transferability of Exterior Signs and Right to Building Name. Except as expressly set forth below in this Section 22.8, the rights to the Exterior Signs and the right to have the Building named “Union Bank Plaza” pursuant to Section 22.1 above or any replacement name for the Original Tenant or any Qualified Transferee are personal to the Original Tenant and when appropriate, any Qualified Transferee, and may not be transferred by the Original Tenant and when appropriate, any Qualified Transferee, or used by anyone else, and the name and accompanying logo on the Exterior Signs, and the name of the Building, may not be changed except as otherwise provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Tenant’s compliance with the conditions set forth in clauses (1) and (2) hereinbelow, the Original Tenant and when appropriate, any Qualified Transferee, shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to: (i) transfer its rights to the Exterior Signs and the rights to the name of the Building as “Union Bank Plaza” to a Qualified Transferee in connection with and as part of a Transfer to a Qualified Transferee, and (A) change the name and accompanying logo on the Exterior Signs to reflect the name and accompanying logo of such Qualified Transferee so long as such changed name and logo are the same name and logo on all Exterior Signs and are the only name and logo on each such Exterior Sign, and (B) change the name of the Building to reflect the name of such Qualified Transferee; and (ii) in the event the Original Tenant (or such Qualified Transferee to which any such signage and Building name rights have been transferred pursuant to clause (i) hereinabove) changes its company name, to change the name and accompanying logo on the Exterior Signs, and the name of the Building, to reflect such applicable company name change. In connection with and as a condition precedent to any such transfer of Tenant’s rights to the Exterior Signs and Building name to a Qualified Transferee and/or any such name and/or logo changes described hereinabove: (1) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs, including

without limitation the Name Change Costs (as defined hereinbelow), incurred by Landlord in connection with any such changes, which reimbursement shall be made within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s invoices therefor; and (2) any name and/or logo changes on the Exterior Signs and Building name change to reflect the identity of any Qualified Transferee pursuant to clause (i) hereinabove or any such name change pursuant to clause (ii) hereinabove shall: (x) be subject to Landlord’s prior approval, which shall not be withheld so long as such name and logo changes do not constitute Objectionable Names/Logos (as defined in Section 22.9 below); and (y) not result in a material increase in the size of any of the Exterior Signs. “Name Change Costs” as used hereinabove shall mean the reasonable out of pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection with discontinuing the use of the name ‘Union Bank Plaza” and adopting a new name for the Building, including, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with press releases announcing the new name for the Building and/or modifying Landlords printed marketing materials, advertising, website, stationery and signage, and the postage costs incurred in connection with the distribution of such modified marketing materials.
22.9 Certain Definitions. As used herein, a “Qualified Transferee” shall mean any Affiliate that is an assignee of Tenant’s entire interest in this Lease. As used herein, the “Minimum Occupancy Threshold” shall mean the physical occupancy by the Original Tenant or a Qualified Transferee of at least 100,000 rentable square feet while Original Tenant or such Qualified Transferee, as applicable, continues to lease at least 125,000 rentable square feet of the Premises pursuant to the Lease. As used herein, a “Prohibited Sign” shall mean any sign which relates to an entity that is associated with sexism (e.g., Chippendales, Hooters, Playboy, Hustler, etc.), racism (e.g., the Ku Klux Klan, the Nazi Party, etc.), or sexual performance or hygiene products. As used herein, the term “Objectionable Names/Logos” shall mean any name or logo which: (1) relates to an entity which is of a character or reputation, or is associated with a political orientation or faction, which is inconsistent with the quality of the Building as a first-class multi-tenant office building, or which would otherwise reasonably offend a landlord of a Comparable Building, including, without limitation, any Prohibited Signs; or (2) relates to an entity that (x) would not be considered of a character, reputation or stature that is generally comparable with companies that have comparable exterior signage on the Comparable Buildings owned or controlled by KBS Realty, Hines, Brookfield Properties, Thomas Properties or Shorenstein Company or any of their respective affiliates (collectively, the “Comparable Landlords”), or (y) is a law firm or securities brokerage firm; or (3) would violate any restrictions on signs or Building name changes currently set forth in the Signage Restrictions. For purposes of this Section 22.9, the phrase “controlled by” shall mean the ultimate control over all of the ownership, operational and managerial decisions regarding the assets of the owner.
22.10 Directory Board. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall continue to have the right to the exclusive use of the directory board currently existing in the Building lobby that is currently used for the exclusive display of the names of Tenant’s departments and/or employees (the “Tenant’s Directory Board”). Such existing directly board must be used by Tenant solely for the display of the names of Tenant’s departments and/or employees and for no other purpose. Any additions, deletions or other changes to the names displayed on such directory as of the First Commencement Date shall be Tenant’s responsibility at Tenant’s cost. Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to maintain any of the other existing directories (and/or install and/or any one or more additional directories) in the Building lobby for
- 72 -


the use by the other tenants of the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to remove Tenant’s Directory Board. If Landlord installs an electric directory board, such electronic directory board shall, to the extent required by Tenant, contain the same information contained in the Tenant’s Directory Board.
23. Compliance with Law
Tenant shall not do anything or suffer anything to be done in or about the Premises 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, applicable to the Premises or the use or occupancy thereof. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, at its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with all such laws to the extent that such laws relate to the Premises and/or Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises, including, without limitation, the making of any alterations and/or improvements to the Premises, but the foregoing shall not modify the provisions of Section 1.4 above regarding ADA compliance, or Section 5.3 above regarding the Excluded Hazardous Materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord shall be responsible, as part of Operating Expenses to the extent permitted under Article 4 of this Lease, for making all alterations and improvements required by applicable laws with respect to the items which are Landlord’s responsibility to repair and maintain pursuant to Section 7.1 of this Lease; provided, however, that Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within thirty (30) days after invoice, for the costs of any such improvements and alterations and other compliance costs to the extent necessitated by or resulting from (i) any Alterations or Tenant Improvements installed by or on behalf of Tenant (but this clause (i) shall not modify or otherwise affect (A) Landlord’s obligations to perform, and pay for the costs (which shall not be included in Operating Expenses) of, the Landlord Improvements as provided in Section 1 of the Tenant Work Letter, (B) the provisions of Section 5.3 above which limit Tenant’s liability regarding the Excluded Hazardous Materials), or (C) Landlord’s obligation to maintain the Building and Real Property in compliance with all laws, (ii) the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Parties that is not covered by insurance obtained, or required to be obtained by, Landlord as part of Operating Expenses and as to which the waiver of subrogation applies, and/or (iii) Tenant’s specific manner of use of the Premises for other than general business office purposes.
24. Late Charges.
Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Landlord by the terms of any mortgage, deed of trust, or ground or underlying lease covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within five (5) business days after notice of Tenant’s failure to pay such amount, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to two percent (2%) of the amount; provided, however, that the first (1st) late charge in any consecutive twelve (12) month period shall not exceed $10,000.00, and no late charge may be assessed unless a notice of, and invoice for, such assessment is sent to Tenant within sixty (60) days after such failure to pay occurs. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate
- 73 -


of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment of Rent by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. The late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent and the right to require it shall be in addition to all of 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 within ten (10) days after notice of such failure to pay such amounts shall thereafter bear interest until paid at the Interest Rate.
25. Entry by Landlord.
Landlord reserves the right at all reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice (but no less than one (1) business day, except in the case of emergencies or to perform regularly scheduled services) to the Tenant to enter the Premises to: (i) inspect them; (ii) show the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or ground or underlying lessors, or, during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, to prospective tenants; (iii) post notices of non-responsibility; (iv) alter, improve or repair the Premises or the Building if necessary to comply with current building codes or other applicable laws, or for structural alterations, repairs or improvements to the Building; or (v) perform services or other obligations required of Landlord under this Lease which are other than regularly scheduled services and/or maintenance obligations. The parties further agree that neither Landlord nor any of Landlord’s employees, invitees, licensees, tenants, third parties or assigns, shall be permitted any access to the Premises unless reasonably coordinated with Tenant upon not less than one (1) business day prior written notice, except in the event of an emergency, in which case no prior notice is required, but shall be given as soon as reasonably practicable accompanied with a reasonable written explanation of the reason for access. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 25, Landlord may enter the Premises at any time to (A) perform regularly scheduled services and/or maintenance obligations required of Landlord under this Lease; and (B) perform, in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, any covenants of Tenant which Tenant fails to perform. Any such entries shall be without the abatement of Rent, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 19.8.2 of this Lease, and shall include the right to take such reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated purposes; provided, however, that any such entry shall be accomplished as expeditiously as reasonably possible and in a manner so as to cause as little interference to Tenant as reasonably possible. Subject to the provisions of Section 19.8.2 of this Lease, Tenant hereby waives any claims for damages or for any injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, lost profits, or any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises in connection with any entry by Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Article 25. 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 so long as Landlord repairs any damage caused thereby and notice is given as soon as reasonably practicable accompanied with a reasonable written explanation of the reason for access. Any entry into the Premises in the mariner 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. Tenant may, after reasonable prior notice to and consultation with Landlord,
- 74 -


reasonably designate certain areas of the Premises as “Secured Areas” should Tenant require such areas for the purpose of securing certain valuable property or confidential information. Without limiting the foregoing, all rooms containing Tenant’s intermediate distribution frame (IDF) and main distribution frame (MDF), all other IT rooms shall be deemed Secured Areas. Landlord may only enter such Secured Areas upon three (3) business days’ notice to Tenant which notice shall specify the date and time of such entry by Landlord (and Tenant shall have the right to escort Landlord); provided, however, that Landlord may enter the Secured Areas without notice to Tenant and without escort in the event of an emergency, in which case Landlord shall provide Tenant with notice of such entry promptly thereafter.
The parties agree that Tenant shall have exclusive control of the existing (and any new) phone/data/server room(s) in the Premises and shall have the right to install its own access control/card reader on the server room doors within the Premises that serves only the Premises. Additionally, Tenant phone/data/server room(s) located in the Premises may be keyed by Tenant separate from all other doors in the Building. No equipment of others shall be installed in the existing (or any new) phone/data/server room(s) located in the Premises and such phone room may only be used as a pass-through for other tenants in the Building. All maintenance, regulatory testing, or any other planned activity that has reasonable potential to impact the infrastructure supporting Tenants’ phone/data/server room shall be communicated to and coordinated with Tenant in advance.
26. Tenant Parking
26.1 Privileges; Operator. Tenant shall rent, on a monthly basis throughout the Lease Term, the number of unreserved vehicle parking privileges and non-executive reserved vehicle parking privileges set forth in Section 11 of the Summary to park in the Building Parking Area (the “Building Parking Area Passes”). All of the parking privileges leased by Tenant pursuant to this Article 26 shall be provided by Landlord, or at the option of Landlord, by a parking operator designated by Landlord (the “Operator”).
26.2 Parking Charges. Tenant shall pay to Landlord (or to the Operator) for the use of such parking privileges so leased by Tenant pursuant to this Article 26, on a monthly basis throughout the Lease Term, the prevailing monthly parking rates charged from time to time by Landlord (or the Operator) for unreserved parking privileges within the Building Parking Area (plus applicable parking taxes), which is currently $262.65 per unreserved vehicle parking privilege and $367.71 per non-executive reserved vehicle parking privilege. In the event Landlord increases the parking charges for any of the various categories of Building Parking Area Passes, Tenant may contest the amount of any increases by written notice (“Tenant’s Parking Contest Notice”) to Landlord; provided however, that Tenant shall not have the right to contest any increases in parking charges which are equal to the amount of any increase in applicable parking taxes. Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of Tenant’s Parking Contest Notice but not more than once every two (2) years, conduct a survey (the “Parking Survey”) of the posted parking rates for reserved parking passes (from which the discount for the executive reserved parking privileges is determined) and/or unreserved parking passes, as applicable, in the on-site parking facilities of Comparable Buildings. If the parking charge for the applicable category of Building Parking Area Passes which is in dispute (the “Disputed Charge”) is in an amount greater than the second highest posted parking rate for such
- 75 -


category of parking pass in the on-site parking facilities of Comparable Buildings (as determined pursuant to the Parking Survey, the “Survey Charge Amount”), then the amount of the Disputed Charge shall be reduced to equal the Survey Charge Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 26 to the contrary, at no time shall parking charges for parking passes for any of the various categories of Building Parking Area Passes (i.e., unreserved, executive reserved, and non-executive reserved) during any calendar year of the Lease Term commencing with the calendar year 2021 increase by more than five percent (5%) per year, calculated on a cumulative and compounded basis, over the amounts set forth above (but such annual cap shall not apply to any increases in applicable parking taxes imposed by the applicable governmental authorities). The provisions of this Section 26.2 shall apply during any Option Term.
26.3 General. Subject to Tenant’s rights under Section 26.1 and 26. 2, Landlord (or the Operator) may assign any unreserved and unassigned parking privileges and/or make all or a portion of such parking privileges reserved or institute an attendant assisted tandem parking program and/or valet parking program if it determines in its sole discretion that such is necessary for orderly and efficient parking. Tenant shall not use more parking spaces than the number of parking privileges provided to Tenant pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article 26. Tenant shall not use any parking spaces which have been specifically assigned to other tenants or for other uses such as visitor parking or which have been designated by governmental entities with competent jurisdiction as being restricted to certain uses. Tenant’s continued right to use the parking privileges provided in this Article 26 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 Building Parking Area and upon Tenant’s cooperation in seeing that Tenant’s employees and visitors also comply with such rules and regulations. Subject to Tenant’s rights under Section 26.1 and 26.2, Landlord specifically reserves the right to change (or cause to be changed) the size, configuration, design, layout, location and all other aspects of the Building Parking Area, and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may, without incurring any liability to Tenant and without any abatement of Rent under this Lease (except as expressly provided otherwise herein), from time to time, close-off or restrict (or cause to be closed off or restricted) access to the Building Parking Area, or relocate (or cause to be relocated) Tenant’s parking privileges to other parking structures and/or surface parking areas within a reasonable distance of the Premises, for purposes of permitting or facilitating any such construction, alteration or improvements with respect to the Building Parking Area or to accommodate or facilitate renovation, alteration, construction or other modification of other improvements or structures located on the Real Property.
26.4 Cancellation. Tenant shall have the one-time right, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice, to terminate up to sixty-six (66) of the unreserved vehicle parking privileges set forth in Section 11 of the Summary. Tenant shall have no further rights at any time to any such unreserved vehicle parking privileges so terminated (i.e., Tenant shall have no right to reinstate the right to utilize such terminated unreserved vehicle parking privileges following such termination).
26.5 Visitor Parking. Landlord shall maintain a visitor parking area for a size not smaller than that customarily maintained by the landlords of the Comparable Buildings, for use during the Business Hours by customers and visitors of Tenant and the other office tenants in
- 76 -


the Building. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that, as of the date of the Lease, Landlord is maintaining a visitor parking area in compliance with the forgoing sentence. Tenant shall be entitled to purchase from Landlord parking validations for use by Tenant’s customers and visitors. Landlord shall have the right to utilize attendant parking with respect to any or all of the visitor parking described in this Section 27.5.
26.6 Parking Prior to Second Commencement Date. The provisions of this Article 26 are intended to apply as of the Second Commencement Date. Prior to the Second Commencement Date, Tenant’s parking rights shall be based on the Existing Lease, and to the extent necessary, all terms and provisions of the Existing Lease are hereby incorporated. The intent of the parties is that Tenant has the same rights and obligations as to parking during such time as it would have had under the Existing Lease. Correspondingly, Landlord has the same rights and obligations as to parking during such time as it would have had under the Existing Lease.
27. Safety and Security Devices, Services and Programs.
The parties acknowledge that safety and security devices, services and programs provided by Landlord, if any, while intended to deter crime and ensure safety, may not in given instances prevent theft or other criminal acts, or ensure safety of persons or property. The risk that any safety or security device, service or program may not be effective, or may malfunction, or be circumvented by a criminal, is assumed by Tenant with respect to Tenant’s property and interests, and Tenant shall obtain insurance coverage to the extent Tenant desires protection against such criminal acts and other losses, as further described in Article 10 above. Tenant agrees to cooperate in any reasonable safety or security program developed by Landlord at no cost to Tenant or required by applicable Laws.
Tenant shall have the right to establish or install any automated and/or nonautomated security system in, on or about the Premises (including on the exterior of Tenant’s suite doors, and all door hardware servicing the Premises). Tenant shall first notify Landlord of Tenant’s plan for any such system, and Landlord shall review the plan and approve said plan if such installation will not materially and adversely affect the building structure and/or building systems. Landlord hereby expressly approves Tenant’s existing system. Upon the expiration of the term of the Lease, Tenant shall not be required to remove such security system unless Tenant exercises its right to terminate the Lease under Rider No. 5, to reduce the size of the Premises under Rider No. 4 attached hereto, or if Landlord terminates the Lease due to a Tenant Event of Default, then Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, remove such security system and repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
28. Communications and Computer Lines.
Subject to Tenant’s rights in Section 1.1, Tenant may install, maintain, replace, remove or use any communications or computer wires, cables and related devices (collectively the “Lines”) at the Real Property in or serving the Premises, provided: (i) Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior written consent for the installation of the same, use an experienced and qualified contractor reasonably approved in writing by Landlord, and comply with all of the
- 77 -


other provisions of Article 8 above; (ii) any such installation, maintenance, replacement, removal or use shall comply with all Laws applicable thereto and good work practices, and shall not interfere with the use of any then existing Lines at the Real Property; (iii) an acceptable number of spare Lines and space for additional Lines shall be maintained for existing and future occupants of the Real Property, as determined in Landlord’s reasonable opinion; (iv) if Tenant at any time uses any equipment that may create an electromagnetic field exceeding the normal insulation ratings of ordinary twisted pair riser cable or cause radiation higher than normal background radiation, the Lines therefor (including riser cables) shall be appropriately insulated to prevent such excessive electromagnetic fields or radiation; (v) Tenant’s rights shall be subject to the rights of any regulated telephone company; and (vi) Tenant shall pay all costs in connection therewith as to its Lines. Landlord shall at all times maintain exclusive control over all risers (including, without limitation, their use) located at the Real Property. Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant remove any Lines located in or serving the Premises which are installed in violation of these provisions, or which are at any time in violation of any Laws or represent a dangerous or potentially dangerous condition (whether such Lines were installed by Tenant or any other party), within three (3) days after written notice.
At Landlord’s sole cost and expense, and in no event shall Tenant’s Lines be reduced, Landlord may (but shall not have the obligation to): (A) install new Lines at the Real Property; (B) create additional space for Lines at the Real Property; and (C) reasonably direct, monitor and/or supervise the installation, maintenance, replacement and removal of, the allocation and periodic re-allocation of available space (if any) for, and the allocation of excess capacity (if any) on, any Lines now or hereafter installed at the Real Property by Landlord, Tenant or any other party (but Landlord shall have no right to monitor or control the information transmitted through such Lines). Such rights shall not be in limitation of other rights that may be available to Landlord by Law or otherwise.
Tenant shall have no obligation to remove any Lines installed by or for Tenant within or serving the Premises upon termination of this Lease unless Tenant exercises its right to terminate the Lease under Rider No. 5, to reduce the size of the Premises under Rider No. 4 attached hereto, or if Landlord terminates the Lease due to a Tenant Event of Default, in which case Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, remove such Lines upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. Any Lines not required to be removed pursuant to this Article 28 shall, at Landlord’s option, become the property of Landlord (without payment by Landlord). If Tenant fails to remove such Lines as required in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord may, after twenty (20) days written notice to Tenant, remove such Lines or remedy such other violation, at Tenant’s expense (without limiting Landlord’s other remedies available under this Lease or applicable Laws). Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, grant to any third party a security interest or lien in or on the Lines, and any such security interest or lien granted without Landlord’s written consent shall be null and void. Except to the extent arising from the intentional or negligent acts of Landlord or Landlord’s agents or employees, Landlord shall have no liability for damages arising from, and Landlord does not warrant that Tenant’s use of any Lines will be free from the following (collectively called “Line Problems”): (1) any eavesdropping or wire-tapping by unauthorized parties, (2) any failure of any Lines to satisfy Tenant’s requirements, or (3) any shortages, failures, variations, interruptions, disconnections, loss or damage caused by the installation, maintenance, replacement, use or removal of Lines by or for other tenants or occupants at the
- 78 -


Real Property, by any failure of the environmental conditions or the power supply for the Real Property to conform to any requirements for the Lines or any associated equipment, or any other problems associated with any Lines by any other cause. Under no circumstances shall any Line Problems be deemed an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, render Landlord liable to Tenant for abatement of Rent, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord in no event shall be liable for damages by reason of loss of profits, business interruption or other consequential damage arising from any Line Problems. The provisions of this Article 28 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
29. Miscellaneous Provisions
29.1 Terms. The necessary grammatical changes required to make the provisions hereof apply either to corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies or individuals, men or women, as the case may require, shall in all cases be assumed as though in each case fully expressed.
29.2 Binding Effect. Each of the provisions of this Lease shall extend to and shall, as the case may require, bind or inure to the benefit not only of Landlord and of Tenant, but also of their respective successors or assigns, provided this clause shall not permit any assignment by Tenant contrary to the provisions of Article 14 above.
29.3 No Air Rights. No rights to any view or to light or air over any property, whether belonging to Landlord or any other person, are granted to Tenant by this Lease. If at any time any windows of the Premises are temporarily darkened or the light or view therefrom is obstructed by reason of any repairs, improvements, maintenance or cleaning in or about the Building or Real Property, the same shall be without liability to Landlord and without any reduction or diminution of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
29.4 Modification of Lease. Should any current or prospective mortgagee or ground lessor for the Building or Real Property require a modification or modifications of this Lease, which modification or modifications will not cause an increased cost or expense to Tenant or in any other way materially and adversely change the rights and obligations of Tenant hereunder, then and in such event, Tenant agrees that this Lease may be so modified and agrees to execute whatever commercially reasonable documents are required therefor and deliver the same to Landlord within twenty (20) days following the request therefor. Should Landlord or any such current or prospective mortgagee or ground lessor require execution of a short form of Lease for recording, containing, among other customary provisions, the names of the parties, a description of the Premises and the Lease Term, Tenant agrees to execute such short form of Lease and to deliver the same to Landlord within ten (10) business 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 Real Property and Building and in this Lease. Tenant agrees that in the event of any such transfer, conditioned upon written agreement of the transferee to be bound by this Lease and to assume all of Landlord’s obligations hereunder arising after the effective date of such transfer Landlord shall automatically be released from all liability under this Lease, other than with respect to obligations of Landlord
- 79 -


which arose prior to the effective date of such transfer, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such transferee for the performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder arising after the effective date of such transfer. Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord may assign its interest in this Lease to a mortgage lender as additional security and agrees that such an assignment shall not release Landlord from its obligations hereunder and that Tenant shall continue to look to Landlord for the performance of its obligations hereunder.
29.6 Prohibition Against Recording. Except as provided in Section 29.4 above, neither this Lease, nor any memorandum, affidavit or other writing with respect thereto, shall be recorded by Tenant or by anyone acting through, under or on behalf of Tenant.
29.7 Landlord’s Title. Landlord’s title is and always shall be paramount to the title of Tenant. Nothing herein contained shall empower Tenant to do any act which can, shall or may encumber the title of Landlord.
29.8 Captions. The captions of Articles and Sections are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to limit, construe, affect or alter the meaning of such Articles and Sections.
29.9 Relationship of Parties. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto or by any third party to create the relationship of principal and agent, partnership, joint venturer or any association between Landlord and Tenant, it being expressly understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of Rent nor any act of the parties hereto shall be deemed to create any relationship between Landlord and Tenant other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.
29.10 Application of Payments. Landlord shall have the right to apply payments received from Tenant pursuant to this Lease, regardless of Tenant’s designation of such payments, to satisfy any obligations of Tenant hereunder, in such order and amounts as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may elect.
29.11 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Lease and each of its provisions.
29.12 Partial Invalidity. If any term, provision or condition contained in this Lease shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term, provision or condition to persons or circumstances other than those with respect to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each and every other term, provision and condition of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent possible permitted by law.
29.13 No Warranty. In executing and delivering this Lease, Tenant has not relied on any representation, including, but not limited to, any representation whatsoever 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.

- 80 -


29.14 Landlord Exculpation. It is expressly understood and agreed that notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, and notwithstanding any applicable law to the contrary, the liability of Landlord and any successor to Landlord hereunder and any recourse by Tenant against Landlord and any successor to Landlord under this Lease (but not including any claim against Landlord and any successor to Landlord for tortious conduct separate and apart from a breach by Landlord and any successor to Landlord of its obligations hereunder) shall be limited solely and exclusively to the interest of Landlord and, if applicable, any successor to Landlord, in and to the Real Property and Building and any rents and profits, condemnation awards, and any insurance proceeds with respect to insurance carried by Landlord or, if applicable, any successor to Landlord, as part of Direct Expenses, and neither Landlord, nor any of its successors in ownership of the Real Property and the Building, its and their constituent partners or members (or subpartners or submembers), 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 provision contained in the preceding sentence is not intended to and will not limit any right that Tenant might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against Landlord and any successor to Landlord or to pursue any suit or action in connection with enforcement or collection of amounts that may become owing or payable under or on account of insurance maintained by Landlord and any successor to Landlord.
29.15 Entire Agreement. It is understood and acknowledged that there are no oral agreements between the parties hereto affecting this Lease and this Lease 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. This Lease (including the exhibits and riders which are attached hereto and constitute an integral part of this Lease) contains all of the terms, covenants, conditions, warranties and agreements of the parties relating in any manner to the rental, use and occupancy of the Premises, shall be considered to be the only agreement between the parties hereto and their representatives and agents, and 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. All negotiations and oral agreements acceptable to both parties have been merged into and are included herein. There are no other representations or warranties between the parties, and all reliance with respect to representations is based totally upon the representations and agreements contained in this Lease.
29.16 Right to Lease. Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such other tenancies in the Building and Real Property as Landlord in the exercise of its sole business judgment shall determine to best promote the interests of the Building and Real Property. Tenant does not rely on the fact, nor does Landlord represent, that any specific tenant or type or number of tenants shall, during the Lease Term, occupy any space in the Building or Real Property.
29.17 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
- 81 -


pursuant to this Lease (collectively, “Force Majeure Events”), 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 Event.
29.18 Waiver of Redemption by Tenant. Tenant hereby waives for Tenant and for all those claiming under Tenant all right 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.

In accordance with Proposition 65 and the regulations promulgated thereunder (California Health and Safety Code Sections 25249.6 et seq.) which require that persons subject to “environmental exposure” to certain designated chemicals, such as asbestos, receive warnings, Tenant acknowledges being advised that:
WARNING: THE BUILDING CONTAINS ASBESTOS, A CHEMICAL KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER.
Tenant also acknowledges that Landlord has promulgated building regulations and procedures governing the manner in which Tenant may undertake alterations, additions, modifications and improvements to the Premises in those areas where asbestos-containing
- 84 -


materials may be located, and such regulations and procedures may be modified, amended or supplemented from time to time. Prior to undertaking any physical work in or around the Premises, Tenant shall notify Landlord, in writing, of the exact nature and location of the proposed work and shall promptly supply such additional information regarding the proposed work as Landlord shall request. After receipt of Tenant’s notice, Landlord shall, to the extent appropriate, supply Tenant with the Building regulations and procedures for working in areas where there is a risk of coming into contact with asbestos-containing materials. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, strictly comply with all such commercially reasonable Building regulations and procedures established by Landlord and with all applicable governmental statutes, ordinances, codes, rules, regulations, controls and guidelines. Landlord shall have the right at all times to monitor the work for compliance with the Building regulations and procedures and any applicable local, state or federal Laws. If Landlord determines that any applicable Laws or any regulations and/or procedures of the Building are not being strictly complied with, Landlord may immediately require the cessation of all work being performed in or around the Premises until such time as Landlord is satisfied that the applicable Laws and procedures will be observed. Landlord’s monitoring of any work in or around the Premises shall not be deemed a certification by Landlord of compliance with any applicable statute, ordinance, code, rule or regulation or a waiver by Landlord of its right to require strict compliance with such Laws and procedures of the Building nor shall such monitoring relieve Tenant from any liabilities relating to such work.
If any governmental entity promulgates or revises a statute, ordinance, code, rule or regulation, or imposes mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines with respect to such asbestos-containing materials or if Landlord otherwise so elects, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, comply with such voluntary controls or guidelines, or elect to make such alterations or remove such asbestos-containing materials. Landlord shall comply, at Landlord’s sole cost, with any mandatory requirement. Except as otherwise provided herein, such compliance or the making of alterations, and the removal of all or a portion of such asbestos-containing materials, whether in the Premises or elsewhere in the Building, shall not, in any event constitute a breach by Landlord of any provision of this Lease, relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay any Rent due under this Lease, constitute or be construed as a constructive or other eviction of Tenant, or constitute or be construed as a breach of Tenant’s quiet enjoyment.
29.25 Governing Law. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

Each party agrees to indemnify and defend the other party against and hold the other party harmless from any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, and costs and expenses (including without
- 85 -


limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing in connection with this Lease on account of the indemnifying party’s dealings with any real estate broker or agent other than the Brokers. Landlord shall pay Brokers a commission based on a separate written agreement(s).
29.28 Independent Covenants. This Lease shall be construed as though the covenants herein between Landlord and Tenant are independent and not dependent and Tenant hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute to the contrary and agrees that if Landlord fails to perform its obligations set forth herein, except as otherwise provided herein, Tenant shall not be entitled to make any repairs or perform any acts hereunder at Landlord’s expense or to any setoff of the Rent or other amounts owing hereunder against Landlord; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way impair the right of Tenant to commence a separate action against Landlord for any violation by Landlord of the provisions hereof so long as notice is first given to Landlord and any holder of a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Building, Real Property or any portion thereof, of whose address Tenant has theretofore been notified, and an opportunity is granted to Landlord and such holder to correct such violations as provided above.
29.29 Building Name and Signage. Subject to Article 22, Landlord shall have the right to install, affix and maintain any and all signs on the exterior and on the interior of the Building or Real Property as Landlord may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, desire.

29.37 Emergency Generator. Landlord hereby agrees that, so long as no Design Problem exists (except that for purposes of this Section 29.37, the term “Design Problem” shall not include clause (iii) of Section 8.1 above), Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and subject to the provisions of this Section 29.37, to install one (1) back-up emergency generator. Such generator shall be of such size and specifications, and include such platforms, fencing, enclosures, sheds and other related materials and equipment, as shall be approved by Landlord prior to installation (collectively, the “Emergency Generator”). In addition, Tenant shall have the right, subject to available capacity of the Building, to install such connection equipment, such as conduits, cables, risers, feeders and materials (collectively, the “Generator Connecting Equipment”) in the shafts, ducts, conduits, chases, utility closets and other facilities of the Building as is reasonably necessary to connect the Emergency Generator to the Premises and Tenant’s other machinery and equipment therein, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 29.37.3 below.

Within three (3) months after receipt of written notice from Tenant in which Tenant elects to install the Emergency Generator, Landlord shall deliver space (the “Generator Site”) in or on the Real Property to Tenant suitable for installation of the Emergency Generator, as reasonably determined by Landlord and Tenant. So long as the Generator Site is not comprised of storage space in the Building or at the Real Property existing as of the First Commencement Date, or parking or other rentable space in the retail or office portions of the Real Property (collectively, the “Rentable Space”), Landlord shall not charge Tenant any rent for Tenant’s use of the Generator Site during the Lease Term (as such Lease Term may be extended). Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Tenant a Generator Site that is other than Rentable Space. In the event that the Generator Site is comprised of Rentable Space, Tenant shall pay rent to Landlord (in advance on a monthly basis in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Lease) for such Generator Site from the date such Generator Site is delivered to Tenant and thereafter throughout the remainder of the Lease Term (and any Option Terms) at a rental rate per rentable square foot for such Rentable Space equal to the Landlord’s then-current rental rate per rentable square foot for such Rentable Space (or, if Landlord has not then established a current rental rate for such Rentable Space, such projected rental rate per rentable square foot for such Rentable Space as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion), which rental rate shall be increased at the same rental rate per rentable square foot and at the same time as the rental rate applicable to the Rentable Space is increased (or reasonably projected by Landlord to be increased).
29.37.2 Generator Equipment. The installation of the Emergency Generator and related Generator Connecting Equipment (hereby referred to together and/or separately as the “Generator Equipment”) shall be performed in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Section 29.37 and Article 8 above, and the Generator Equipment shall be treated for all purposes of this Lease as if the same were Tenant’s property. For the purposes of determining Tenant’s obligations with respect to its use of the Generator Site and Generator Equipment herein provided, the Generator Site shall be deemed to be a portion of the Premises; consequently, all of the provisions of this Lease with respect to Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall apply to the installation, use and maintenance of the Generator Equipment, including
- 91 -


without limitation, provisions relating to compliance with requirements as to insurance, indemnity, repairs and maintenance, and compliance with applicable laws.
29.37.3 Non-Exclusive Right. It is expressly understood that Landlord retains the right to grant third parties the right to utilize any portion of the Real Property located outside the Premises not utilized by Tenant as the Generator Site, provided in each event that Tenant shall have reasonable access to, and Landlord shall not unduly interfere with the use of, the Generator Equipment.
29.37.4 Tenant’s Covenants. Tenant shall install, use, maintain and repair the Generator Equipment so as not to damage or interfere with the operation of the Real Property or Building, any portion thereof, including, without limitation, the Generator Site, the Systems and Equipment, and any other generators or power sources or similar equipment located in or on the Building or Real Property; and Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and its partners and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and independent contractors harmless from and against any and all Claims (other than Claims to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and not insured or required to be insured by Tenant under this Lease) arising out of Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 29.37.
29.37.5 Landlord’s Obligations. Except to fulfill its obligations under this Section 29.37, Landlord shall not have any obligations with respect to the Generator Site, the Generator Equipment or compliance with any requirements relating thereto, nor shall Landlord be responsible for any damage that may be caused to the Generator Equipment, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Landlord makes no representation that the Generator Equipment will be able to supply sufficient power to the Premises, and Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant therefor.
29.37.6 Condition of Generator Site.

29.37.8.2  prior to commencement of any work, Tenant shall obtain the required approvals of all federal, state and local governmental authorities; Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord written proof of compliance with all applicable laws and all recorded covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Real Property in connection with any work related to the Generator Equipment, including, but not limited to, a signed-off permit from the City of Los Angeles;

Tenant shall not use any Hazardous Materials in connection with the Generator Equipment, except that Tenant may use propane or diesel fuel stored in a double walled steel tank (the “Fuel Tank”) contained within the Emergency Generator (the exact location and size of which Fuel Tank shall be reasonably approved by Landlord), as long as such fuel and Fuel Tank are kept, maintained and used in accordance with all applicable laws and the highest safety standards for such use, and so long as such fuel is always stored within the Fuel Tank and is not used or stored in any area outside of the Emergency Generator. Tenant shall promptly, at Tenant’s expense, take all investigatory and all remedial action required by applicable laws and reasonably recommended by Landlord, whether or not formally ordered or required by applicable laws, for the cleanup of any spill, release or other contamination of the Generator Site and/or the Real Property to the extent caused or contributed to by Tenant’s use of the Generator Equipment (including, without limitation, the fuel for the Emergency Generator), or pertaining to or involving any such fuel or other Hazardous Materials brought onto the Generator Site during the Lease Term by Tenant or any of Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees. Tenant shall indemnify, defend
- 93 -


and hold Landlord and its partners and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and independent contractors harmless from and against any and all Claims (subject to Section 10.4 and other than Claims to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord) arising out of or involving any Hazardous Materials brought onto the Generator Site by or for Tenant in connection with Tenant’s activities under this Section 29.36.9. Tenant’s obligations shall include, but not be limited to, the effects of any contamination or injury to person, property or the environment created or suffered by Tenant or any of Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees, and the cost of investigation, removal, remediation, restoration and/or abatement, and shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
29.37.10 Security. Physical security of the Generator Site and the Generator Equipment is the sole responsibility of Tenant, who shall bear the sole cost, expense and liability of any security services, emergency alarm monitoring and other similar services in connection therewith. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any direct, indirect, consequential or other damages arising out of or in connection with the physical security, or lack thereof, of the Generator Site and/or Generator Equipment.
29.37.11 Testing. The Generator Equipment shall be routinely tested and inspected by a qualified contractor selected by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, in accordance with testing and inspection service contracts reasonably approved by Landlord. Tenant will provide Landlord with copies of certificates and other documentation related to the testing of the Generator Equipment. Testing hours are restricted, however, to those specific hours reasonably set and determined by Landlord from time to time.
29.37.12 Default. If Tenant fails to perform any of its obligations under this Section 29.37, and does not correct such noncompliance within ten (10) business days after receipt of notice thereof from Landlord or such longer period as may be reasonably necessary to correct such noncompliance, so long as Tenant commences to correct such noncompliance within such ten (10) business day period and thereafter proceeds with due diligence to correct such noncompliance, then Tenant shall be deemed in breach of this Lease but shall not be in default under this Lease until Tenant receives the applicable notices required to be provided by Landlord to Tenant under Article 19 above and has failed to cure such breach within the applicable time periods set forth in Article 19 above (but Landlord may nonetheless exercise its self-help remedies otherwise set forth in this Lease without regard to the notice and cure periods provided in Article 19 above to the extent permitted in such other provisions of this Lease), and in addition to all other remedies Landlord may have under this Lease, Tenant shall, upon notice from Landlord, immediately discontinue its use of that portion of the Generator Equipment to which such noncompliance relates, and make such repairs and restoration as required under Section 29.37.13 below with respect thereto.
29.37.13 Removal at End of Term.

- 94 -


Any and all removal of the Generator Equipment shall be performed by certified and licensed contractors previously approved in writing by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and in accordance with a previously approved removal plan, in a workmanlike manner, without any interference, damage, or destruction to any other equipment, structures or operations at the Generator Site, the Building, or the Real Property, and/or any equipment of other licensees or tenants. If Tenant fails to timely make such removal and/or restoration, then Landlord may perform such work at Tenant’s cost, which cost shall be immediately due and payable to Landlord upon Tenant’s receipt of invoice therefor from Landlord.
29.37.14 Rights Personal. Tenant’s rights under this Section 29.37 are personal to the Original Tenant and any Approved Transferee, and may only be exercised or utilized by the Original Tenant or such Approved Transferee, as the case may be, and shall only be utilized when the Original Tenant or such Approved Transferee, as the case may be, is in actual and physical possession of any portion of the Premises.
29.38 Property Management. So long as Original Tenant or a Qualified Transferee meets the Minimum Occupancy Threshold, the Building may not be managed by property management firms that do not provide a comparable level and quality of property management services as those provided for other multi-tenant office buildings owned or operated by Hines, Brookfield Properties, CB Richard Ellis, Cushman & Wakefield, Lincoln Properties, Tishman Speyer, Jones Lang Lasalle, and Broadway Partners. This Section 29.38 shall be binding upon all successors and assigns of Landlord’s interests in this Lease, and Landlord prior to the sale of the Building by Landlord, Landlord shall advise each purchaser of the restrictions contained in this Section 29.38.
29.39 Limitation on Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, nothing in this Lease shall impose any obligation upon Tenant or Landlord to be responsible or liable for, and each hereby releases the other from all liability for, lost profits or other consequential damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the purposes of this Lease, consequential damages shall not be deemed to include property damage or personal injury damages, or any damages recoverable by the landlord pursuant to Section 19.2(iii) and (iv) above and/or Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code following a default by Tenant under this Lease.
29.40 Reasonable Consent. Except for matters for which there is a standard of consent or approval or standard for taking, making or exercising a Discretionary Act (as defined below)that is specifically set forth in this Lease, including the Tenant Work Letter and all other Exhibits hereto (which specific standard shall control): (i) any time the consent or approval of Landlord or Tenant is required under this Lease, such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and (ii) in the event this Lease grants Landlord or Tenant the right to take action, exercise discretion, establish or modify rules and regulations or make an allocation or other determination (each, a “Discretionary Act”), Landlord and Tenant shall act reasonably and in good faith. The foregoing shall not, however, limit any party’s rights or remedies in the event of a default by the other party under this Lease, nor apply to matters which (A) do not comply with applicable laws, or (B) could result in a Design Problem, in which case Landlord shall have the right to act and/or grant or deny consent in its sole and absolute
- 95 -


discretion (but at all times in good faith) as to the matters described in items (A) and (B) hereinabove (unless a different standard for actions or consent pertaining to such matters is specifically set forth in this Lease). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions contained in this Lease, Tenant shall not be required to obtain the consent of Landlord for matters relating to the exercise by Tenant of its right to make repairs (which Landlord failed to make) pursuant to Section 7.2 of this Lease, provided that Tenant shall act reasonably with respect to all such matters and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 7.2 of this Lease.
29.41 Contingency. This Lease is conditioned on the full execution of that certain Retail Lease between Landlord and Tenant for Suite 200 (the “New Retail Premises”) at the retail portion of the Building (the “Retail Lease”).
29.42 OFAC. Landlord and Tenant hereby represent and warrant as follows: (a) neither Landlord nor Tenant, nor their respective principals, officers, members or directors (respectively, the “Landlord Individuals” or “Tenant Individuals,” as applicable), are, or during the Lease Term, as the same may be further extended, shall be, a person or entity with whom Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, are restricted from doing business under the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA Patriot Act) Pub L 107-56, 115 Stat 272, Executive Order No. 13224 (Sept. 24 2001), and regulations promulgated thereunder; (b) neither the Landlord Individuals nor the Tenant Individuals are, or during the Lease Term, as the same may be extended, shall be, included as persons or entities named on the Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List); and (c) any breach of the foregoing representation by either Landlord or Tenant shall be deemed an event of default under the Lease, as amended hereby, and the non-breaching party shall have the right to exercise any remedies available to such party under the Lease, as amended. In addition, the breaching party shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the non-breaching party from and against any and all claims, damages, out-of-pocket losses, risks, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) arising from or related to the foregoing certification.

EXHIBIT “B-1”
LANDLORD WORK LETTER
1. LANDLORD IMPROVEMENTS. Landlord shall construct and pay for the entire cost (at its sole cost and expense and not as part of Operating Expenses) of constructing the Building improvements (“Landlord Improvements”) described by the plans and specifications identified in Schedule “1” attached hereto (the “Plans”). Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that Landlord has completed a refinance of the Building with Bank of America, N.A., in March, 2018, and the loan proceeds from such refinance are sufficient to cover the cost of the Landlord Improvements.
2. CONSTRUCTION OF LANDLORD IMPROVEMENTS. Landlord’s contractor shall commence and diligently proceed with the construction of the Landlord Improvements. Subject to Tenant Delays (as described in Section 4 below) and Force Majeure Delays (as described in Section 5 below), Landlord shall “substantially complete” (as defined below) the Landlord Improvements (other than item (iii) under Schedule 1) by December 31, 2021 (“Outside Completion Date”). Tenant shall receive a monthly Rent credit of $10,000 per month for each month beyond the Outside Completion Date for which the Landlord Improvements have not been substantially completed; provided, however, that if substantial completion of the Landlord Improvements is delayed as a result of any Tenant Delays described in Section 4 below, then the Outside Completion Date as would otherwise have been established shall be delayed by the number of days of such Tenant Delays. Promptly upon the commencement of the Landlord Improvements, Landlord may furnish Tenant with a construction schedule letter setting forth the projected completion dates therefor and showing the reasonably obtainable deadlines for any actions required to be taken by Tenant (provided the same are with the terms and conditions of this Lease) during such construction, and Landlord may from time to time during construction of the Landlord Improvements reasonably modify such schedule.
3. SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION.
(a) The Landlord Improvements shall be deemed to be “substantially completed” when Landlord has delivered written notice to Tenant that Landlord has completed the Landlord Improvements in accordance with the Plans, other than (i) decoration and minor “punch-list” type items and adjustments which do not materially interfere with Tenant’s access to or use of the Building, and (ii) those minor items which can be completed within thirty (30) days. Within ten (10) days after such substantial completion, Tenant shall conduct a walk-through inspection of the Building with Landlord and provide to Landlord a written punch-list specifying those decoration and other punch-list items which require completion, which items Landlord shall thereafter diligently complete; provided, however, that Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for the remediation of any items on the punch-list caused by Tenant’s wrongful acts or omissions.
(b) Tenant agrees that if Landlord is unable to substantially complete the Landlord Improvements on or prior to the Outside Completion Date, the Lease shall not be void or
Exhibit B-1-1


voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any monetary loss or damage resulting therefrom, except the Rent credit specifically provided for in Section 2 above.
4. TENANT DELAYS. For purposes of this Work Letter, “Tenant Delays” shall mean any delay in the completion of the Landlord Improvements resulting from any or all of the following: (a) Tenant’s failure to timely perform any of its obligations pursuant to this Work Letter, including any failure to complete, on or before the due date therefor, any action item which is Tenant’s responsibility pursuant to the any schedule delivered by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Landlord Work Letter as provided above; or (b) any other wrongful act or failure to act by Tenant, Tenant’s employees, agents, architects, independent contractors, consultants and/or any other person performing or required to perform services on behalf of Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Tenant Delay shall not be deemed to have occurred unless and until Landlord provides Tenant written notice of such delay, and Tenant fails to cure such delay within two (2) business days of its receipt of written notice.
5. FORCE MAJEURE DELAYS. For purposes of this Landlord Work Letter, “Force Majeure Delays” shall mean any actual delay beyond the reasonable control of Landlord in the construction of the Landlord Improvements, which is not a Tenant Delay and which is caused by any of the causes described in Section 29.17 of the Lease.
Exhibit B-1-2


SCHEDULE “1”
PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
i. Building Systems — Complete recommendations provided by Enwave to further enhance the delivery of chilled water to the Building. Additionally, Landlord shall be responsible for delivering all electrical panels serving Tenant's premises in good working order and a distribution system capable of providing seven (7) watts connected load per rentable square foot of the Premises.
ii. Code Compliance & Fire/Life/Safety —Landlord shall have the responsibility for all costs associated with code compliance & fire/life/safety requirements for common areas of the Building, whether or not triggered by the Tenant Improvements, unless and to the extent such code compliance and/or fire/life/safety requirements for common areas of the Building are required in connection with Tenant’s specific and unique use of the Premises that is other than typical office use. Tenant shall be responsible for these items in the Premises (other than the restrooms to be completed by Landlord as part of the Landlord Improvements). Any delay in the design or construction of the Tenant Improvements because of the non-compliance of the Building common areas with the applicable life-fire safety codes and disabled access codes (including, without limitation, the ADA), and/or earthquake safety codes shall constitute a Landlord Delay. Except to the extent caused by a Tenant Delay, in the event of any such Landlord Delay, which causes Tenant to be delayed in its ability to substantially complete the Tenant Improvements and meet the applicable Give-Back Date for the applicable Give-Back Space, the applicable Give-Back Date shall be delayed by one (1) day for each day of a Landlord Delay pursuant to this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no delay in the applicable Give-Back Date shall apply unless and until Tenant delivers written notice of such non-compliance detailing with reasonable specificity the nature of such non-compliance.
iii. ACM Remediation — The parties acknowledge the existence of asbestos-containing materials or asbestos-containing construction materials (collectively, “ACM”) on the eleventh (11th) floor of the Building. Landlord has no reason to believe, based upon an environmental consultant’s document review and asbestos inspection, that the ACM is currently in a condition to release asbestos fibers which would pose a significant health hazard to the Building’s occupants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting Landlord’s responsibility to abate any ACMs elsewhere in the Building if and to the extent required under applicable law, Tenant shall have the right to cause Landlord to remove and abate all or a portion of the ACM on the eleventh (11th) floor in accordance with applicable law (“Abatement”), subject to the following conditions: (i) Tenant shall give no less than ninety (90) days’ written notice of any requested Abatement, (ii) Landlord shall have an additional one hundred twenty (120) days following such notice period to complete the Abatement, (iii) Landlord shall deliver possession of the eleventh (11th) floor back to Tenant in its then current “as-is” shell condition, free and clear of any ACM, and shall in no event be required to perform any construction or improvement work other than Abatement, (iv) Tenant shall not pay Base Rent for the eleventh (11th)
Schedule 1-1


floor during Abatement, and (v) all Tenant request for Abatement must be made, if at all, prior to June 1, 2029.
iv. New Restrooms — Landlord’s new Building-standard men's and women's toilet rooms, with specifications in accordance with Schedule “2” attached to the Work Letter, which shall comply with all current local building codes, including, but not limited to, California Energy Commission Title 24 Accessibility Standards and the Americans With Disabilities Act, on the tenth (10th), eleventh (11th), twelfth (12th), thirteenth (13th), fifteenth (15th), and twenty-eighth (28th) floors of the Building. The renovation of the restrooms by Landlord shall be performed in coordination with Tenant’s schedule for the Tenant Improvements, prior to the completion of the Tenant Improvements on the applicable floor, and Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete such restrooms on each floor within approximately sixteen (16) weeks of the start date (the “Restroom Renovation Period”) as specified in Tenant’s schedule. Prior to commencement of construction, Tenant shall provide Landlord with Tenant’s proposed construction schedule (the “Schedule”) setting forth the projected completion dates for the Tenant Improvements, subject to Landlord’s right to reasonably approve and modify the Schedule in coordination with Tenant. Based on the approved Schedule and the Restroom Renovation Period, Landlord and Tenant shall document in writing the projected deadlines for Landlord’s completion of renovation of the restrooms for each applicable floor (the “Restroom Deadlines”). Unless requested by Tenant, the restrooms on all adjacent floors shall not be performed simultaneously. Except to the extent caused by a Tenant Delay or due to Tenant’s concurrent completion of the Tenant Improvements that prevents Landlord from completing some or all of the renovation of the restrooms (e.g., if applicable governmental authorities require Tenant to complete the Tenant Improvements on a floor or floors before Landlord may complete all or any portion of the restroom renovation work), in the event Landlord does not substantially complete the restroom renovations by the Restroom Deadlines or otherwise within the Restroom Renovation Periods, as applicable, and as a result, Tenant suffers delays in completion of the Tenant Improvements, such delays shall constitute a Landlord Delay. In the event of any such Landlord Delay, which causes Tenant to be delayed in its ability to substantially complete the Tenant Improvements and meet the applicable Give-Back Date for the applicable Give-Back Space, the applicable Give-Back Date shall be delayed by one (1) day for each day of a Landlord Delay pursuant to this paragraph.
v. Building Renovation — Improvements to the Building lobby, elevators, retail courtyard, and Coral Tree Pavilion Conference Center, as determined by Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion.

TENANT WORK LETTER
1. TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. As used in the Lease and this Tenant Work Letter, the term “Tenant Improvements” or “Tenant Improvement Work” or “Tenant’s Work” means those items of general tenant improvement construction shown on the Final Plans (described in Section 4 below), and/or more particularly described in Section 5 below. Subject to Landlord Delays and Force Majeure Events, Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Tenant Improvements on or before June 1, 2024 (other than the ACM Remediation in item (iii) on Exhibit B-1, Schedule 1, and further discussed in Section 5(a)(iii)(pp) below) and if all or any portion of the Allowance shall not be used by such date (other than in connection with the ACM Remediation in item (iii) on Exhibit B-1, Schedule 1 and as further discussed in Section 5(a)(iii)(pp) below), Landlord shall be entitled to the savings and Tenant shall receive no credit therefor.  
2. WORK SCHEDULE. Landlord agrees that the Space Plans and Final Plans, as defined in Sections 4(a) and 4(b) below, may be submitted at one or more times and in one or more parts, each time by notice to Landlord, and that Landlord (x) will not withhold or condition its consent to each submission except to the extent a Design Problem, as defined in Section 8.1 of the Lease, exists and (y) shall respond to each request for approval within ten (10) days of receipt of notice requesting such consent or approval. Prior to commencing construction, Tenant will deliver to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and reasonable approval, a schedule (“Work Schedule”), which will set forth the timetable for the planning and completion of the installation of the Tenant Improvements.
3. CONSTRUCTION REPRESENTATIVES. Landlord hereby appoints the following person(s) as Landlord’s representative (“Landlord’s Representative”) to act for Landlord in all matters covered by this Tenant Work Letter: Charles Stennett. Tenant hereby appoints the following person(s) as Tenant’s representative (“Tenant’s Representative”) to act for Tenant in all matters covered by this Tenant Work Letter: Brian Hall. All communications with respect to the matters covered by this Tenant Work Letter are to be made to Landlord’s Representative or Tenant’s Representative, as the case may be, in writing in compliance with the notice provisions of the Lease. Either party may change its representative under this Tenant Work Letter at any time by written notice to the other party in compliance with the notice provisions of the Lease.
4. TENANT IMPROVEMENT PLANS
(a) Preparation of Space Plans. In accordance with the Work Schedule, Landlord agrees to meet with Tenant’s architect and/or space planner for the purpose of promptly reviewing preliminary space plans for the layout of the Premises prepared by Tenant (“Space Plans”). The Space Plans are to be sufficient to convey the architectural design of the Premises and layout of the Tenant Improvements therein and are to be submitted to Landlord by notice in accordance with the Lease. If Landlord reasonably disapproves any aspect of the Space Plans because a Design Problem exists, Landlord will advise Tenant in writing of such disapproval and
Exhibit B-2-1


the reasons therefor. Tenant will then submit to Landlord for Landlord’s approval a redesign of the Space Plans incorporating the revisions reasonably required by Landlord to the extent necessary to eliminate the Design Problem.
(b) Preparation of Final Plans. Tenant’s architect will prepare complete architectural plans, drawings and specifications and complete engineered mechanical, structural and electrical working drawings for all of the Tenant Improvements for the Premises (collectively, the “Final Plans”). The Final Plans will show (a) the subdivision (including partitions and walls), layout, lighting, finish and decoration work (including carpeting and other floor coverings) for the Premises; (b) all internal and external communications and utility facilities which will require conduiting or other improvements from the base Building shell work and/or within common areas; and (c) all other specifications for the Tenant Improvements. The Final Plans will be submitted to Landlord for signature to confirm that no Design Problem or deviation from the Standards exists. If Landlord reasonably disapproves any aspect of the Final Plans because a Design Problem or deviation from the Standards exists, Landlord agrees to advise Tenant in writing of such disapproval and the reasons why a Design Problem or deviation from the Standards exists. To the extent a Design Problem or deviation from the Standards exists, Tenant will then cause Tenant’s architect to redesign the Final Plans incorporating the revisions reasonably requested by Landlord so as to eliminate the Design Problem or deviation from the Standards. Concurrently with Landlord’s approval of the Final Plans, Landlord will identify those portions of the Tenant Improvements that are “Specialty Improvements” (as defined below), if any, that Landlord will require Tenant to remove upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, and Tenant shall remove such portions of the Specialty Improvements upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease subject to and only to the extent required by the terms and conditions of the Lease. “Specialty Improvements” means any alterations or improvements other than normal and customary general office improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Specialty Improvements” (i) shall not include conference rooms or training space and (ii) shall include (a) any alterations or improvements which affect the base Building, (b) any fitness facility in the Premises, (c) any kitchens, showers, restrooms, washrooms or similar facilities in the Premises that are not part of the base Building, and (d) any private/internal stairways in the Premises. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its approval with respect to what Specialty Improvements Landlord may require Tenant to remove at the expiration of the Lease.
(c) Requirements of Tenant’s Final Plans. Tenant’s Final Plans will include locations and complete dimensions, and the Tenant Improvements, as shown on the Final Plans, will: (i) be compatible with the Building shell and with the design, construction and equipment of the Building; (ii) if not comprised of the Building standards set forth in the written description thereof (the “Standards”), then compatible with and of at least equal quality as the Standards and approved by Landlord; (iii) comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction, and all applicable insurance regulations; and (iv) not require Building service beyond the level normally provided to other tenants in the Building unless Tenant agrees to pay for and absorb such extra costs and will not overload the Building floors.

Exhibit B-2-2


(d) Submittal of Final Plans. Once approved by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s architect will submit the Final Plans to the appropriate governmental agencies for plan checking and the issuance of a building permit. Tenant’s architect, with Landlord’s cooperation, will make any changes to the Final Plans which are requested by the applicable governmental authorities to obtain the building permit. After approval of the Final Plans no further changes may be made without the prior written approval of Landlord, which may only be withheld to the extent a Design Problem or failure to comply with Section 5(c) requirements exists.
(e) Changes to Shell of Building. If the Final Plans or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto shall require changes in the Building shell, the increased cost of the Building shell work caused by such changes will be paid for by Tenant or charged against the “Allowance” described in Section 5 below.
(f) Work Cost Estimate and Statement. Prior to the commencement of construction of any of the Tenant Improvements shown on the Final Plans, Tenant will submit to Landlord a written estimate of the cost to complete the Tenant Improvement Work, which written estimate will be based on the Final Plans taking into account any modifications which may be required to reflect changes in the Final Plans required by the City or County of Los Angeles (the “Work Cost Estimate”).
5. PAYMENT FOR THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
(a) Allowance. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a tenant improvement allowance of $125.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises (i.e., $20,237,875 based on the Premises containing approximately 161,903 rentable square feet) (the “Allowance”). The Allowance is to be used for, without limitation:
(i) Payment of the cost of preparing the Space Plans and the Final Plans, including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, architectural, audio visual and structural drawings and of all other aspects necessary to complete the Final Plans. The Allowance will not be used for payments to any other consultants, designers or architects other than Landlord’s architect and/or Tenant’s architect, and Tenant’s project manager.
(ii) The payment of plan check, permit and license fees relating to construction of the Tenant Improvements.
(iii) Construction of the Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation, the following:
(aa) Installation within the Premises of all partitioning, doors and handles (including glass office fronts), built-ins, floor coverings, ceilings, wall coverings and painting, millwork, shades and similar items;

Tenant shall maintain complete and accurate books and records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of these expenditures for at least three (3) years. Tenant shall make available to Landlord’s auditor at the Premises within thirty (30) business days following Landlord’s notice requiring the audit, all books and records maintained by Tenant pertaining to the construction and completion of the Tenant Improvements.

If Landlord still fails to fulfill any such obligation within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Payment Notice from Tenant and if Landlord fails to deliver written notice to Tenant within such ten (10) business day period explaining Landlord’s reasons that the amounts described in Tenant’s Payment Notice are not due and payable by Landlord (“Refusal Notice”), Tenant shall be entitled to fund such amount(s) itself and to offset such amount(s) (provided Tenant obtains all appropriate lien releases with respect to any such amount(s) prior to Tenant’s offset thereof), together with interest at the Interest Rate from the date of payment by Tenant until the earlier of the date of offset and subsequent payment by Landlord, against Tenant’s next obligations to pay Base Rent under the Lease. However, Tenant shall not be entitled to any such offset while Tenant is in default under the Lease following written notice and the expiration of any cure period. If Landlord delivers a Refusal Notice, and if Landlord and Tenant are not able to agree on the amounts to be so paid by Landlord, if any, within ten (10) business days after Tenant’s receipt of a Refusal Notice, Landlord shall pay the amount that is not disputed and either Landlord or Tenant may elect to have such dispute resolved pursuant to the proceeding set forth in Section 29.23 of the Lease. If Tenant obtains a judgment in its favor in any such proceedings, Tenant shall be entitled to offset the amount determined to be payable by Landlord in such proceedings together with any attorneys’ fees and costs awarded therein to Tenant together with interest at the Interest Rate from the date of payment by Tenant to the date of such offset or subsequent payment by Landlord against Tenant’s next obligations to pay Base Rent (but Tenant shall not be entitled to any such offset while Tenant is in default under the Lease following written notice and the expiration of any cure period).
6. CONSTRUCTION OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. Following Landlord’s approval of the Final Plans, and once construction has commenced, Tenant’s contractor (selected as provided in Section 8(n)) will commence and diligently proceed with the construction of the Tenant Improvements.

Landlord shall have the right to enter upon the Premises to inspect Tenant’s construction activities following reasonable advance notice Tenant. In the event of a Landlord Delay (as hereinafter defined) which causes Tenant to be delayed in its ability to substantially complete the Tenant Improvements and use the Premises (or portion thereof) for normal business operations, and provided Tenant does not actually use the Premises (or portion thereof) as a result of such Landlord Delay, then Tenant shall be entitled to a per day rent credit for each day of a Landlord Delay equal to: (i) the rentable square footage of the effected portion of the Premises, multiplied

Within ten (10) days after receipt of such certificates, Tenant and Landlord will conduct a walk-through inspection of the Premises and Landlord shall provide to Tenant a written punch-list specifying those decoration and other punch-list items which require completion, which items Tenant will thereafter diligently complete.

Tenant’s contractor shall be required to maintain the same insurance policies as Tenant, and such policies shall name Tenant, Landlord and any lender with an interest in the Premises as additional insureds.
(f) Construction Defects. Landlord shall have no responsibility for the Tenant Improvements and Tenant will remedy, at Tenant’s own expense, and be responsible for any and all defects in the Tenant Improvements that cause a Design Problem and that appear during or after the completion thereof whether the same shall affect the Tenant Improvements in particular or any parts of the Premises in general. Tenant shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse Landlord for any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord by reason of any defect in any portion of the Tenant Improvements constructed by Tenant or Tenant’s contractor or subcontractors, or by reason of inadequate cleanup following completion of the Tenant Improvements, subject to the terms of the Lease regarding insurance and the waiver of subrogation and except to the extent of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, ingress/egress of contracts.

(k) Coordination with Lease. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as (i) constituting Tenant as Landlord’s agent for any purpose whatsoever, or (ii) a waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any of the terms or provisions of the Lease.

(l) Approval of Plans. Landlord will not check Tenant drawings for building code compliance. Approval of the Final Plans by Landlord is not a representation that the drawings are in compliance with the requirements of governing authorities, and it shall be Tenant’s responsibility to meet and comply with all federal, state, and local code requirements.

Tenant shall cause its contractor to provide warranties for not less than one (1) year (or such shorter time as may be customary and available without additional expense to Tenant) against defects in workmanship, materials and equipment, which warranties shall run to the benefit of Landlord or shall be assignable to Landlord to the extent that Landlord is obligated to maintain any of the improvements covered by such warranties.
(p) Landlord’s Performance of Work. Within ten (10) business days after receipt of Landlord’s notice of Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Tenant Work Letter, if Tenant shall fail to commence to cure such failure, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform, on behalf of and for the account of Tenant, subject to reimbursement of the cost thereof by Tenant, any and all of Tenant’s Work which Landlord determines, in its reasonable discretion, should be performed immediately and on an emergency basis for the best interest of the Premises including, without limitation, work which pertains to structural components, mechanical, sprinkler and general utility systems, roofing and removal of unduly accumulated construction material and debris; provided, however, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to give Tenant at least ten (10) additional days prior notice to the performance of any of Tenant’s Work.

Landlord shall have the right to revoke for a period of three (3) months the right to use the Building Parking Area by any person who violates on two (2) or more occasions any such rule or regulation.
37. Landlord reserves the right at any time to change or rescind any one or more of these Rules and Regulations, or to make such other and further reasonable and non-discriminatory Rules and Regulations as in Landlord’s judgment may from time to time be necessary for the management, safety, care and cleanliness of the Premises, the Building and the Real Property, and for the preservation of good order therein, as well as for the convenience of other occupants and tenants therein.

Exhibit G-1


RIDER NO. 1 TO LEASE
EXTENSION OPTION RIDER
This Rider No. 1 is made and entered into by and between KBSII 445 SOUTH FIGUEROA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and MUFG UNION BANK, N.A., a national association (“Tenant”), as of the day and year of the Lease between Landlord and Tenant to which this Rider is attached. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the provisions set forth below shall be deemed to be part of the Lease and shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of the Lease. All references in the Lease and in this Rider to the “Lease” shall be construed to mean the Lease (and all exhibits and Riders attached thereto), as amended and supplemented by this Rider. All capitalized terms not defined in this Rider shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Lease.
1. Subject to Rider No. 3 entitled, “Options In General”, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant two (2) options (the “Extension Options”) to extend the Lease Term as to all or a portion (subject to Section 2 below) of the Premises for two (2) additional periods of five (5) years each (the “Option Terms”), on the same terms, covenants and conditions as provided for in the Lease during the initial Term, except for the Base Rent, which shall initially be equal to the “fair market rental rate” for the Premises for the Option Term as defined and determined in accordance with the provisions of the Fair Market Rental Rate Rider attached to the Lease as Rider No. 2, subject to fair market annual rent adjustments during the Option Term. All references in the Lease to “Term” or “Lease Term” shall unless expressly stated otherwise, include any validly exercised option Term.
2. An Extension Option must be exercised, if at all, by written notice (“Extension Notice”) delivered by Tenant to Landlord no sooner than that date which is fifteen (15) months and no later than that date which is twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the then current Lease Term. The Extension Notice shall state whether Tenant is electing to extend the Lease for all of the Premises or only a portion thereof (and if only portion, such portion should be noted in the Extension Notice); provided however, (i) Tenant shall only have the ability to not extend the Lease on all space leased on any floor (i.e. Tenant cannot retain only a portion of leased space on a floor), and (ii) Tenant must extend enough of the then current Premises to meet the Minimum Occupancy Threshold. If Tenant fails to state whether or not the extension is for the entire Premises or only a portion thereof, the extension shall be deemed for the entire Premises. An Extension Option shall, at Landlord’s sole option, not be deemed to be properly exercised if, at the time the Extension Option is exercised or on the scheduled commencement date for the Option Term, Tenant has (a) committed an uncured event of default whose cure period has expired pursuant to Section 19 of the Lease, (b) assigned all or any portion of the Lease or its interest therein other than to a Qualified Assignee, or (c) does not satisfy the satisfy the Minimum Occupancy Threshold. Provided Tenant has properly and timely exercised the Extension Option, the then current Lease Term shall be extended by the Option Term, and all terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and
Rider No. 1-1


effect, except that the Base Rent shall be as set forth above, and except that the number of remaining Extension Options (if any) shall be reduced by one. In the event Tenant elects to give back a portion of the Premises, Tenant’s proportionate share of its parking rights shall be reduced.
Rider No. 1-2


RIDER NO. 2 TO LEASE
FAIR MARKET RENTAL RATE RIDER
This Rider No. 2 is made and entered into by and between KBSII 445 SOUTH FIGUEROA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and MUFG UNION BANK, N.A., a national association (“Tenant”), as of the day and year of the Lease between Landlord and Tenant to which this Rider is attached. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the provisions set forth below shall be deemed to be part of the Lease and shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of the Lease. All references in the Lease and in this Rider to the “Lease” shall be construed to mean the Lease (and all exhibits and Riders attached thereto), as amended and supplemented by this Rider. All capitalized terms not defined in this Rider shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Lease.
1. The term “fair market rental rate” as used in the Lease and any Rider attached to the Lease shall mean the annual amount per square foot, projected during the Option Term (including annual adjustments), that a willing, non-equity new and renewal tenants (excluding sublease and assignment transactions) would pay, and a willing, institutional landlord of a comparable quality office building located in the downtown Los Angeles, California area would accept, in an arm’s length transaction (what Landlord is accepting in then current transactions for the Building may be used, but shall not be determinative, for purposes of projecting rent for the Option Term), for space of comparable size, quality and floor height as the Premises, taking into account the age, quality and layout of the existing improvements in the Premises (but not that they are specifically suited for Tenant), and taking into account items that professional real estate brokers or professional real estate appraisers customarily consider, including, but not limited to, rental rates, space availability, tenant size, tenant improvement allowances, parking charges and any other lease considerations and concessions (such as, but not limited to, free rent), if any, then being charged or granted by Landlord or the lessors of such similar office buildings. All economic terms other than Base Rent, such as tenant improvement allowance amounts, if any, operating expenses, parking charges, etc., will be factored into the determination of the fair market rental rate for the Option Term. Accordingly, the fair market rental rate will be an effective rate, not specifically including, but accounting for, the appropriate economic considerations described above. The intent is that Tenant will obtain the same rent and other economic benefits that Landlord would otherwise give in comparable transactions and that Landlord will make, and receive the same economic payments and concessions that Landlord would otherwise make, and receive in comparable transactions.
2. In the event where a determination of fair market rental rate is required under the Lease, Landlord shall provide written notice of Landlord’s determination of the fair market rental rate not later than sixty (60) days after the last day upon which Tenant may timely exercise the right giving rise to the necessity for such fair market rental rate determination. Tenant shall have thirty (30) days (“Tenant’s Review Period”) after receipt of Landlord’s notice of the fair market rental rate within which to accept such fair market rental rate or to object thereto in writing. Failure of Tenant to so object to the fair market rental rate submitted by Landlord in writing within Tenant’s Review Period shall conclusively be deemed Tenant’s approval and acceptance
Rider No. 2-1


thereof. If within Tenant’s Review Period Tenant reasonably objects to or is deemed to have disapproved the fair market rental rate submitted by Landlord, Landlord and Tenant will meet together with their respective legal counsel and brokers to present and discuss their individual determinations of the fair market rental rate for the Premises under the parameters set forth in Paragraph 1 above and shall diligently and in good faith attempt to negotiate a rental rate on the basis of such individual determinations. Such meeting shall occur no later than ten (10) business days after the expiration of Tenant’s Review Period. The parties shall each provide the other with such supporting information and documentation as they deem appropriate. At such meeting if Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the fair market rental rate, they shall each submit to the other their respective best and final offer as to the fair market rental rate. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement on such fair market rental rate within five (5) business days following such a meeting (the “Outside Agreement Date”), then each party’s determination shall be submitted to appraisal in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 below.
3. Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one (1) independent appraiser who shall by profession be an M.A.I. certified real estate appraiser who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of commercial (including office) properties in the downtown Los Angeles, California area. The determination of the appraisers shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s last proposed (as of the Outside Agreement Date) best and final fair market rental rate for the Premises is the closest to the actual fair market rental rate for the Premises as determined by the appraisers, taking into account the requirements specified in Section 1 above. Each such appraiser shall be appointed within fifteen (15) business days after the Outside Agreement Date.
(a) The two (2) appraisers so appointed shall within fifteen (15) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed appraiser agree upon and appoint a third appraiser who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two (2) appraisers.
(b) The three (3) appraisers shall within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third appraiser reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted best and final fair market rental rate, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. During such thirty (30) day period, Landlord and Tenant may submit to the appraisers such information and documentation to support their respective positions as they shall deem reasonably relevant (with a copy to the other party) and Landlord and Tenant may each appear before the appraisers jointly to question and respond to (with a copy to the other party) questions from the appraisers.
(c) The decision of the majority of the three (3) appraisers shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and neither party shall have the right to reject the decision or to undo the exercise of the applicable Extension Option. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser within the time period specified in Section 3(a) hereinabove, the appraiser appointed by one of them shall within thirty (30) days following the date on which the party failing to appoint an appraiser could have last appointed such appraiser reach a decision based upon the same procedures as set forth above (i.e., by selecting either Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted best and final fair market rental rate), and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such appraiser’s
Rider No. 2-2


decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and neither party shall have the right to reject the decision or to undo the exercise of the applicable Extension Option.
(d) If the two (2) appraisers fail to agree upon and appoint a third appraiser, either party, upon ten (10) days written notice to the other party, can apply to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County to appoint a third appraiser meeting the qualifications set forth herein.

The parties shall enter into an amendment to this Lease confirming the terms of the decision.

RIDER NO. 6
EXPANSION OPTION
This Rider No. 6 is made and entered into by and between KBSII 445 SOUTH FIGUEROA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and MUFG UNION BANK, N.A., a national association (“Tenant”), as of the day and year of the Lease between Landlord and Tenant to which this Rider is attached. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the provisions set forth below shall be deemed to be part of the Lease and shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of the Lease. All references in the Lease and in this Rider to the “Lease” shall be construed to mean the Lease (and all exhibits and Riders attached thereto), as amended and supplemented by this Rider. All capitalized terms not defined in this Rider shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Lease.
1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Rider No. 6, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the one-time option to expand (“Expansion Option”) into either one (1) or two (2) full floors (as designated by Tenant) within the Building reasonably designated by Landlord based on Landlord’s space planning requirements for the Building at the time Tenant delivers the Expansion Notice to Landlord (the “Expansion Space”); provided, however, that Tenant’s Expansion Option is subject and subordinate to the rights of all other existing tenants of the Building with prior expansion or lease rights relative to the Expansion Space. Tenant must exercise its Expansion Option by providing Landlord with written notice of its election to exercise the Expansion Option (“Expansion Notice”) at any time prior to December 31, 2020. The Term as to the Expansion Space shall be coterminous with the Term with respect to the original Premises as the same may be extended pursuant to Tenant’s Extension Option. If Tenant properly and timely exercises its Expansion Option, then commencing upon delivery of the Expansion Space to Tenant (the “Expansion Space Commencement Date”), the Base Rent shall be adjusted on a proportionate basis based on the size of the Expansion Space and the same rental rates per square foot for the Premises. Following Landlord’s delivery of notice concerning the location of the Expansion Space, Tenant shall have ten (10) days to retract its Expansion Notice for any reason by delivering written notice thereof to Landlord.
2. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Rider No. 6, Tenant’s lease of the Expansion Space will be on the same terms and conditions as affect the original Premises; provided, however, effective upon the Expansion Space Commencement Date: (i) Tenant’s Share will be increased to take into account the additional square footage of the Expansion Space within the Building and all figures in this Lease affected by the addition of the square footage of the Expansion Space to the Premises will be adjusted accordingly; (ii) Tenant will not be entitled to any economic concessions applicable to the original Premises pursuant to the provisions of this Lease; (iii) the improvement of the Expansion Space will be subject to the provisions of Paragraph 3 below; and (iv) Tenant will shall have the right (but not the obligation) to utilize and in such case be obligated to pay for additional unreserved parking spaces with respect to the Expansion Space up to, as elected by Tenant in writing delivered to Landlord not later than thirty (30) days prior to the Expansion Space Commencement Date, one and one-half (1.5) additional unreserved parking space per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Expansion Space.

Rider No. 6-1


3. Within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s delivery of the Expansion Notice to Landlord, the parties will execute an amendment to the Lease in order to include the Expansion Space as part of the Premises and to document the terms of Tenant’s lease thereof. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Expansion Space will be delivered to Tenant and Tenant shall accept the Expansion Space from Landlord in its “AS IS” condition; provided, however, Tenant shall receive a tenant improvement allowance equal to $125.00 per rentable square foot of the Expansion Space, prorated based on the length of the term for the Expansion Space and the length of the Lease Term, to be applied in accordance with the Tenant Work Letter.
4. Any termination of the Lease shall terminate all rights of Tenant with respect to the Expansion Space. The rights of Tenant with respect to the Expansion Space shall not be severable from the Lease, nor may such rights be assigned or otherwise conveyed in connection with any permitted assignment of the Lease other than to a Permitted Transferee. Landlord’s consent to any assignment of the Lease shall not be construed as allowing an assignment or a conveyance of such rights to any assignee.
5. Tenant shall have no right to exercise the Expansion Option, notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, (a) during the time commencing from the date Landlord gives to Tenant a notice of default pursuant to Section 19 of the Lease and continuing until the noncompliance alleged in said notice of default is cured, (b) during the period of time commencing on the day after a monetary obligation to Landlord is due from Tenant and unpaid (and Tenant has received notice of the same) and continuing until the obligation is paid, (c) if Landlord has given to Tenant three or more notices of monetary default or material non-monetary default under Section 19 of the Lease, whether or not the defaults are cured, within the preceding twelve (12) month period, (c) if Tenant has been late on three (3) or more occasions in the payment of a monetary obligation to Landlord (without any necessity for notice thereof to Tenant), (d) if Tenant has committed any non-curable breach, or is otherwise in default of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease following written notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period, or (e) if Tenant fails to properly and timely exercise its Expansion Option. The provisions of this Paragraph 5 shall also apply to a Permitted Transferee.
Rider No. 6-2


RIDER NO. 7
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER
This Rider No. 7 is made and entered into by and between KBSII 445 SOUTH FIGUEROA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and MUFG UNION BANK, N.A., a national association (“Tenant”), as of the day and year of the Lease between Landlord and Tenant to which this Rider is attached. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the provisions set forth below shall be deemed to be part of the Lease and shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of the Lease. All references in the Lease and in this Rider to the “Lease” shall be construed to mean the Lease (and all exhibits and Riders attached thereto), as amended and supplemented by this Rider. All capitalized terms not defined in this Rider shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Lease.
1. Grant of ROFO; Conditions. Tenant shall have a continuing right of first offer to lease (the “Right of First Offer”) the full ninth (9th), sixteenth (16th), nineteenth (19th), twenty-first (21st), twenty-sixth (26th) (i.e., the balance of the twenty-sixth (26th) floor not leased by Tenant as of the date of the Lease), and twenty-ninty (29th) floors of office space in the Building (each, a “ROFO Space”); provided, however, (A) the ROFO Space shall not include space on any such floors unless the entire floor is available for lease, and (B) the ROFO Space shall only include the balance of the space located on the twenty-sixth (26th) floor if the entire balance of the twenty-sixth (26th) floor is available for lease. For example, the entire ninth (9th) floor of the Building shall be ROFO Space for purposes of this Rider No. 7, but the ROFO Space shall not include any space on the ninth (9th) floor of the Building if any portion of the ninth (9th) floor is occupied by another tenant and unavailable for lease. Tenant’s Right of First Offer shall terminate once Tenant has leased two (2) full floors pursuant to this Rider No. 7; provided, however, Tenant’s lease of the balance of the twenty-sixth (26th) floor pursuant to this Rider No. 7 shall not count as a full floor for purposes of determining whether this Right of First Offer is terminated (e.g., Tenant will continue to have the right to lease one (1) additional full floor under this Right of First Offer, notwithstanding that Tenant has leased the entire ninth (9th) floor and the balance of the twenty-sixth (26th) floor pursuant to this Rider No. 7).
2. Information Regarding Available Space. At any time during the Lease Term, but not more frequently than once each calendar year, Tenant shall have the right to request in a notice to Landlord (the “Request Notice”) that Landlord send Tenant notice (the “Response Notice”) listing all available ROFO Space, the approximate rentable and usable areas of such space (as determined pursuant to the then current BOMA office measurement standard), and the Prevailing Market (as hereinafter defined) rent for such space. Landlord shall deliver the Response Notice to Tenant within twenty (20) days following Landlord’s receipt of the Request Notice. Tenant shall have the right, within twenty (20) days of the delivery of the Response Notice, to deliver notice to Landlord (“First Offer Election Notice”) pursuant to which Tenant exercises its right of first offer to lease any of such ROFO Space on the terms stated in the Response Notice.

Rider No. 7-1


3. Landlord’s Offer to Tenant. Tenant’s Right of First Offer may also be exercised as follows: at any time after Landlord has determined that the existing tenant in such ROFO Space will not extend or renew the term of its lease for such ROFO Space (but prior to leasing such ROFO Space to a party other than the existing tenant), Landlord shall deliver written notice to Tenant (the “ROFO Notice”) of the terms under which Landlord is prepared to lease the ROFO Space to Tenant for the remainder of the Lease Term, which terms shall reflect the Prevailing Market (hereinafter defined) rate for such ROFO Space as reasonably and initially determined by Landlord and taking into account the then remaining length of the Term. Tenant may lease such ROFO Space in its entirety only, under such terms, by delivering written notice of exercise to Landlord (the “Notice of Exercise”) within ten (10) business days after the date of the ROFO Notice.
4. Limitations. Tenant shall have no such Right of First Offer and Landlord need not provide Tenant with a Response Notice or a ROFO Notice (collectively, a “Notice”), if:
a. Tenant is in default under the Lease beyond any applicable cure periods at the time that Landlord would otherwise deliver the Notice; or
b. more than 75% of the Premises, or any portion thereof, is sublet (other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer) at the time Landlord would otherwise deliver the Notice; or
c. the Lease has been assigned (other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer) prior to the date Landlord would otherwise deliver the Notice; or
d. Tenant is not occupying at least 75% of the Premises on the date Landlord would otherwise deliver the Notice; or
e. Tenant does not intend to use the ROFO Space for Tenant’s exclusive use during the Term; or
f. the existing tenant in the ROFO Space is interested in extending or renewing its lease for the ROFO Space or entering into a new lease for such ROFO Space, and the existing tenant actually extends or renews its lease, or enters into a new lease for such ROFO Space.
5. Terms for ROFO Space.
a. The term for the ROFO Space shall commence upon the commencement date stated in the Notice and terminate upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term (including any extension thereof). Additionally, such ROFO Space shall be considered a part of the Premises, provided that all of the terms stated in the Notice shall govern Tenant’s leasing of the ROFO Space (other than the term length) and only to the extent that they do not conflict with the Notice, the terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply to the ROFO Space.
b. Tenant shall pay Base Rent and Additional Rent for the ROFO Space in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notice, which terms and conditions shall reflect the Prevailing Market for the ROFO Space as determined in Landlord’s reasonable judgment.
Rider No. 7-2


c. The ROFO Space (including improvements and personalty, if any) shall be accepted by Tenant in its condition and as-built configuration existing on the earlier of the date Tenant takes possession of the ROFO Space or as of the date the term for such ROFO Space commences, unless the Notice specifies any work to be performed by Landlord in the ROFO Space, in which case Landlord shall perform such work in the ROFO Space. If Landlord is delayed delivering possession of the ROFO Space due to the holdover or unlawful possession of such space by any party, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain possession of the space, and the commencement of the term for the ROFO Space shall be postponed until the date Landlord delivers possession of the ROFO Space to Tenant free from occupancy by any party.
6. Termination of Right of First Offer. The rights of Tenant hereunder with respect to the ROFO Space shall terminate on May 31, 2033. If Tenant does not timely deliver a First Offer Election Notice or Notice of Exercise within the times frames provided above in Sections 2 and 3, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its Right of First Offer as to the ROFO Space offered (but only on those terms) and Landlord shall be free to lease the offered ROFO Space to any third party with an effective rent offered to the third party that is at least ninety percent (90%) of the effective rent offered to Tenant in the Notice for a period of twelve (12) months. In the event either Landlord does not lease the offered ROFO Space within such twelve (12) months, or the effective rent offered to a third party is less than ninety percent (90%) of the effective rent offered to Tenant, no leasing shall take place unless a new Notice is provided to Tenant and the above provisions of this Rider No. 7 shall apply.
7. ROFO Amendment. If Tenant exercises its Right of First Offer, Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the “ROFO Amendment”) adding the ROFO Space to the Premises on the terms set forth in the ROFO Notice and reflecting the changes in the Base Rent, rentable square footage of the Premises, Tenant’s Share, and other appropriate terms. A copy of the ROFO Amendment shall be sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after Landlord’s receipt of the Notice of Exercise executed by Tenant, and Tenant shall execute and return the ROFO Amendment to Landlord consistent with terms herein within thirty (30) days thereafter, but an otherwise valid exercise of the Right of First Offer shall be fully effective whether or not the ROFO Amendment is executed.
8. Definition of Prevailing Market. For purposes of this Right of First Offer, “Prevailing Market” shall mean the annual rental rate per square foot for space comparable to the ROFO Space in the Building and office buildings comparable to the Building in the downtown Los Angeles, California area under new leases and renewal and expansion amendments being entered into at or about the time that Prevailing Market is being determined, giving appropriate consideration to tenant concessions, brokerage commissions, tenant improvement allowances, existing improvements in the space in question, and the method of allocating operating expenses and taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, space leased under any of the following circumstances shall not be considered to be comparable for purposes hereof: (i) the lease term is for less than the lease term of the ROFO Space by more than two (2) years, (ii) the space is encumbered by the option rights of another tenant, or (iii) the space has a lack of windows and/or an awkward or unusual shape or configuration. The foregoing is not intended to be an exclusive list of space that will not be considered to be comparable.

The Exhibits contain other terms, provisions and conditions applicable to the Loan. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in Exhibit “B”. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, which must be in form, detail and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Lenders, evidence the agreements of Borrower and Lenders with respect to the Loan. Borrower shall comply with all of the Loan Documents.
1.2 Purpose. The proceeds of the Loan shall be used to pay or reimburse Borrower for certain costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with the repayment of certain indebtedness that is secured by the Property, to pay or reimburse Borrower for costs and expenses incurred by Borrower for Capital Improvements, Tenant Improvements, and Leasing Commissions, for the return of equity to the indirect owners of Borrower, and for any other legal purpose, including payment of closing costs and other expenses related to the Loan; provided, however, Borrower shall not in any case directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the Loan, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any individual or entity, to fund any activities of or business with any individual or entity, or in any Designated Jurisdiction, that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of Sanctions or in any other manner that will result in a violation by any individual or entity (including any individual or entity participating in the transaction, whether as Lender, Administrative Agent or otherwise) of Sanctions.
1.3 Commitment to Lend. Borrower agrees to borrow from each Lender, and each Lender severally agrees to make advances of its Pro Rata Share of the Loan proceeds to Borrower in amounts at any one time outstanding not to exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan and (except for Administrative Agent with respect to Administrative Agent Advances), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and Exhibit “C-1” and Exhibit “C-2”. Each Lender shall fund its Pro Rata Share of each advance of Loan proceeds under this Agreement, provided, however, that no Lender will be required to make an advance in any amount which when aggregated with all prior advances made by such Lender would exceed such Lender’s then-current Commitment hereunder. Lenders’ Commitments to lend shall expire and terminate automatically (a) if the Loan is prepaid in full, (b) upon the occurrence of a Default, and (c) on the Maturity Date. The Loan is not revolving. Any amount repaid may not be reborrowed.
1.4 Interest Rates. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the unpaid principal balance of the Loan from day to day outstanding which is not past due, shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate of interest per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate. The LIBOR Rate shall be adjusted on each Interest Rate Change Date. The LIBOR Rate shall remain fixed until the next Interest Rate Change Date.
1.4.1 [Intentionally Omitted.]
1.4.2 [Intentionally Omitted.]
1.4.3 Computations, Determinations and Notification. All computations of interest for the Base Rate (to the extent applicable) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or
Page 2



interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Administrative Agent shall determine the interest rate(s) applicable to the Principal Debt in accordance with this Agreement and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The books and records of Administrative Agent shall be prima facie evidence of all sums owing to Lenders from time to time under the Loan, but the failure to record any such information shall not limit or affect the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” or with respect to any rate that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any of such rates (including, without limitation, any LIBOR Successor Rate) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes. To the extent that any calculation of interest or any fee required to be paid hereunder shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed zero for purposes of this Agreement.
1.4.4 Late Charge. If Borrower shall fail to make any payment due hereunder or under the terms of any Note (other than the Principal Debt due on the Maturity Date) within fifteen (15) days after the date such payment is due, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the applicable Lender or Lenders on demand a late charge equal to four percent (4%) of such payment. Such fifteen (15) day period shall not be construed as in any way extending the due date of any payment. The “late charge” is imposed for the purpose of defraying the expenses of a Lender incident to handling such defaulting payment. This charge shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other amount that Lenders may be entitled to receive or action that Administrative Agent and Lenders may be authorized to take as a result of such late payment, including any other remedy Lenders may have and any fees and charges of any agents or attorneys which Administrative Agent or, subject to the provisions of Section 4.15, Lenders may employ upon the occurrence of a Default, whether authorized herein or by Law.
1.4.5 Default Rate. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default (including the expiration of any applicable cure period), upon the request of the Required Lenders, Administrative Agent, without notice or demand, may raise the rate of interest accruing on the Principal Debt under any Loan Document to the lesser of (i) the maximum non-usurious rate of interest allowed under applicable law, or (ii) three hundred (300) basis points above the rate of interest otherwise applicable (“Default Rate”), independent of whether Administrative Agent accelerates the Principal Debt under any Loan Document.

1.5 Prepayment. Borrower may prepay the principal balance of the Loan, in full at any time or in part from time to time, or may cancel any undisbursed Additional Advances, in each case without fee, premium or penalty, provided that: (a) Administrative Agent shall have actually received from Borrower prior written notice in a form reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent of (i) Borrower’s intent to prepay, (ii) the amount of principal which will be prepaid (the “Prepaid Principal”), and (iii) the date on which the prepayment will be made; and (b) each prepayment shall be in the amount of 100% of the Prepaid Principal, plus accrued unpaid interest thereon to the date of prepayment, plus any other sums which have become due to Administrative Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents on or before the date of prepayment but have not been paid. If the Loan is prepaid in full, any commitment of Lenders (if any) for further advances shall automatically terminate.
1.6 Payment Schedule and Maturity Date.
(a) Prior to maturity, accrued and unpaid interest shall be calculated from and including the first (1st) London Banking Day of each month to the first (1st) London Banking Day of the succeeding calendar month, and shall be due and payable in arrears on the first (1st) Business Day of such succeeding calendar month, commencing on October 1, 2019. The entire principal balance then unpaid, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
(b) [Intentionally Omitted.]
(c) Borrower shall make principal repayments of the Loan, each in an amount equal to the Required Amortization Payment, on January 1, 2022, and on the first day of each succeeding calendar month thereafter until all principal owing on the Loan shall have been fully paid and satisfied.
1.7 Payments.
(a) All payments by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at Administrative Agent’s Office in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent’s Time) on the date specified herein. Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by Administrative Agent after 12:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent’s Time) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(b) For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent will distribute payments to each Lender, (i) on the date of receipt, if Administrative Agent receives such funds on or before 12:00
Page 4



p.m. (Administrative Agent’s Time), or (ii) on the Business Day following the date of receipt, if Administrative Agent receives such funds after 12:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent’s Time). If Administrative Agent fails to timely pay any amount to any Lender in accordance with this Section 1.7, Administrative Agent shall pay to such Lender interest on such amount at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for each day from the day such amount was to be paid until it is paid to such Lender. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(c) A notice of Administrative Agent to any Lender or to Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 1.7 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
1.8 Evidence of Debt. Amounts of the Loan funded by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, of the amounts of the Loan funded by Lenders to Borrower, the interest and payments thereon, and all other sums owing to Administrative Agent and each Lender from time to time under the Loan Documents. Any failure to so record such information or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Indebtedness or the obligations of the Property under the Loan Documents. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note(s) and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of the applicable Note and payments with respect thereto.
ARTICLE 2 -  TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION, UNAVAILABILITY AND ILLEGALITY
2.1 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.
(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of Administrative Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by Administrative Agent or Borrower , then
Page 5



Administrative Agent or Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.1(e).
(ii) If Borrower or Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to Section 2.1(e), (B) Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by Borrower, as applicable, shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.1) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
(iii) If Borrower or Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable Laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) Borrower or Administrative Agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to Section 2.1(e), (B) Borrower or Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.1) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.1(a) above, Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of Administrative Agent or any Lender reimburse Administrative Agent or such Lender within fifteen (15) days after demand for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c) Tax Indemnifications.
(i) Borrower shall, and does hereby indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10 ) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.1) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by
Page 6



the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall, and does hereby indemnify Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(ii).
(ii) Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, (A) Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (B) Administrative Agent and Borrower, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.5(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (C) Administrative Agent and Borrower against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent or Borrower in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this Section 2.1(c)(ii).
(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon written request by Borrower or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by Borrower or by Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 2.1, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Borrower or Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.
(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences,
Page 7



the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clauses (A), (B) and (D) of Section 2.1(e)(ii)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable written request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable written request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(II) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable); or

Page 8



(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit “K-2” or Exhibit “K-3”, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit “K-4” on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable written request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.
(iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.1 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any Recipient determines, in its sole
Page 9



discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.1, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that Borrower, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to Borrower pursuant to this Subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.
(g) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.1 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent, or the assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
2.2 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loan advances whose interest is determined by reference to the LIBOR Monthly Floating Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, U.S. Dollars in the London interbank eurodollar market, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower (through Administrative Agent), any obligation of such Lender to make or maintain advances of the Loan at the LIBOR Rate shall be suspended, in each case until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), immediately prepay, or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Rate Principal to Base Rate Principal. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
2.3 Inability to Determine Rates.
(a) If (i) Administrative Agent determines that (A) U.S. Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market in the amount of any proposed or existing advance of the Loan for terms equal to one (1) month, or (B) (x) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Monthly Floating Rate for proposed or existing advances of the Loan and (y) the circumstances described in Section 2.4(a) do not apply (in each case with respect to this clause (i), “Impacted Advances”), or (ii) Administrative Agent or Required Lenders determine that for any reason the LIBOR Monthly Floating Rate does not
Page 10



adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Loan, Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of Lenders to make or maintain advances of the Loan at the LIBOR Rate shall be suspended, in each case until Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by Required Lenders described in clause (ii) of Section 2.3(a), until Administrative Agent upon instruction of Required Lenders) revokes such notice. During the period of such suspension, all proposed advances and all amounts from day to day outstanding which are not past due, shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate of interest per annum equal to the Base Rate.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (i) of Section 2.3(a), Administrative Agent, in consultation with Borrower, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Advances, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Advances until (i) Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Advances under clause (i) of the first sentence of Section 2.3(a), (ii) Required Lenders notify Administrative Agent and Borrower that such alternative rate of interest does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Advances, or (iii) any Lender reasonably determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loan advances whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides Administrative Agent and Borrower written notice thereof.
2.4 LIBOR Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or Borrower or Required Lenders notify Administrative Agent (with, in the case of Required Lenders, a copy to Borrower) that Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:
(a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR with respect to the Loan for terms equal to one (1) month, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis, and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or
(b) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or
(c) syndicated loans currently being executed by Administrative Agent, or that include language similar to that contained in Sections 2.3 and 2.4, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR by Administrative Agent in similarly situated commercial real estate loans,

Page 11



then, reasonably promptly after such determination by Administrative Agent or receipt by Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, Administrative Agent and Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternative benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. Dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes, and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. Administrative Agent’s Time on the fifth (5th) Business Day after Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Borrower, unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising Required Lenders have delivered to Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment. Such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for Administrative Agent, such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined in good faith by Administrative Agent after consultation with Borrower.
If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under Subsection (a) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of Lenders to make or maintain advances of the Loan at the LIBOR Rate shall be suspended. During the period of such suspension, all proposed advances and all amounts from day to day outstanding which are not past due, shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate of interest per annum equal to the Base Rate.
Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.
2.5 Increased Costs.
(a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate);
(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank eurodollar market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any Note or the LIBOR Rate Advances made by such Lender;

Page 12



and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan advance (or of maintaining its obligation to maintain any such Loan advance), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then Borrower will pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, any Note, the Commitments of such Lender or the advances made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.5(a) or Section 2.5(b) and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay in Responses. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six (6) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). Subject to the foregoing, all of Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive payment in full, satisfaction or discharge of the Indebtedness, the resignation or removal of Administrative Agent or replacement of any Lender, and any release, enforcement or termination of this Agreement or of any other Loan Documents.
2.6 [Intentionally Omitted.]
2.7 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. Each Lender may make any advance to Borrower through any Lending Office, provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of such Lender to make any such advance or of Borrower to repay the advance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Lender requests compensation under
Page 13



Section 2.5, or requires Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.1, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 2.2, then at the written request of Borrower such Lender shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.1 or 2.5, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 2.2, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender, as the case may be. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment within ten (10) days of written demand of such Lender.
(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.5, or if Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.1 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.7(a), Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 9.12.
2.8 Survival. All of Borrower’s obligations under this Article 2 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
ARTICLE 3 -  ADDITIONAL ADVANCES
3.1 Advances after the Initial Advance. Following receipt and approval of a Draw Request and all supporting documentation and information reasonably required by Administrative Agent, and satisfaction of conditions set forth on Exhibit “C-2” attached hereto, Administrative Agent will determine the amount of the requested advance of Loan proceeds that will be the subject of such advance (each such advance being an “Additional Advance”) Lenders shall make in accordance with this Agreement. All Additional Advances shall be used to pay or reimburse Borrower for costs and expenses incurred by Borrower for Capital Improvements, Tenant Improvements, Other Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions.
3.2 Procedure.
(a) Following receipt of a Draw Request, Administrative Agent shall promptly provide each Lender with a copy of the Draw Request. Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender telephonically (with confirmation by electronic mail) or by electronic mail (with confirmation by telephone) not later than 1:00 p.m. Administrative Agent’s Time two (2) Business Days prior to the Additional Advance Funding Date for Additional Advances which will be LIBOR Rate Advances, and one (1) Business Day prior to the Additional Advance Funding Date for all other Additional Advances, of its Pro Rata Share of the amount Administrative Agent has determined shall be advanced in connection therewith (“Additional Advance Amount”). In the case of an Additional Advance, each Lender shall make the funds for
Page 14



its Pro Rata Share of the Additional Advance Amount available to Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. Administrative Agent’s Time on the Funding Date thereof. After Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Additional Advance Amount from Lenders, Administrative Agent shall make proceeds of the Loan in an amount equal to the Additional Advance Amount (or, if less, such portion of the Additional Advance Amount that shall have been paid to Administrative Agent by Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof) available to Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by advancing such funds to Borrower in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit ”C-2”.
(b) Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed Funding Date for Additional Advances which will be LIBOR Rate Advances (or, in the case of any other Additional Advances, prior to 12:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent’s Time) on such Funding Date) that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Additional Advance Amount, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Pro Rata Share available on such date in accordance with Section 3.2(a) (or, in the case of any Additional Advances other than LIBOR Rate Advances, that such Lender has made such Pro Rata Share available in accordance with, and at the time required by Section 3.2(a)) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its Pro Rata Share of the Additional Advance Amount available to Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender agrees to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Additional Advance Amount to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Additional Advance Amount. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth herein or in any other Loan Documents, in no event shall Administrative Agent have any obligation to disburse any Additional Advance Amount to Borrower unless and until Administrative Agent has received from each Lender immediately available funds in an amount equal to each such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Additional Advance Amount.
(c) If any Lender makes available to Administrative Agent funds for any Additional Advances to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2, and such funds are not made available to Borrower by Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Additional Advance set forth in Exhibit “C-2” or elsewhere in this Agreement are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(d) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Additional Advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any
Page 15



Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Additional Advance in any particular place or manner.
ARTICLE 4 -  AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
Borrower covenants as of the date hereof and until such time as all Obligations shall be paid and performed in full, that:
4.1 Compliance with Laws; Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall comply with all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions, decrees and demands of any court or any Governmental Authority affecting Borrower or the Property. Borrower shall use all proceeds of the Loan for business purposes which are not in contravention of any Law or any Loan Document.
4.2 Inspections; Cooperation. Borrower shall permit representatives of Administrative Agent to enter upon the Land, to inspect the Improvements and any and all materials to be used in connection with any construction at the Property, including any construction of tenant improvements, to examine all detailed plans and shop drawings and similar materials as well as all books and records of Borrower (regardless of where maintained) and all supporting vouchers and data and to make copies and extracts therefrom and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts pertaining to the Loan and the Improvements with representatives of Borrower. Borrower shall at all times reasonably cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each and every one of its contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers to cooperate with the representatives of Administrative Agent in connection with or in aid of the performance of Administrative Agent’s functions under this Agreement. Except in the event of an emergency, Administrative Agent shall give Borrower at least twenty-four hours’ notice by telephone in each instance before entering upon the Land and/or exercising any other rights granted in this Section.
4.3 Payment and Performance of Contractual Obligations. Subject to the terms of Section 5.1 of the Deed of Trust, Borrower shall perform in a timely manner all of its obligations under any and all contracts and agreements (in accordance with the terms thereof) related to any construction activities at the Property or the maintenance or operation of the Improvements, and Borrower will pay before they become delinquent all bills for services or labor performed and materials supplied in connection with such construction, maintenance and/or operation. Within thirty (30) days after the filing of any mechanic’s lien or other lien or encumbrance against the Property, Borrower will promptly discharge the same by payment or filing a bond or otherwise as permitted by Law. So long as Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ security has been protected by the filing of a bond or otherwise in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, Borrower shall have the right to contest in good faith any claim, lien or encumbrance, provided that Borrower does so diligently and without prejudice to Administrative Agent or any Lender or delay in completing construction of any tenant improvements.
4.4 Insurance. Borrower shall maintain the following insurance at its sole cost and expense:

Page 16



(a) Insurance against Casualty to the Property under a policy or policies covering such risks as are presently included in “special form” (also known as “all risk”) coverage, including such risks as are ordinarily insured against by similar businesses, but in any event including fire, lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, damage from aircraft, smoke, vandalism, malicious mischief and acts of terrorism. Such insurance shall name Administrative Agent as the mortgagee and loss payee. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Administrative Agent, such insurance shall be for the full insurable value of the Property on a replacement cost basis, with a deductible amount, if any, reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. No policy of insurance shall be written such that the proceeds thereof will produce less than the minimum coverage required by this Section by reason of co-insurance provisions or otherwise. The term “full insurable value” means one hundred percent (100%) of the actual replacement cost of the Property, including tenant improvements (excluding excavation costs and costs of underground flues, pipes, drains and other uninsurable items). For purposes of the foregoing requirements, the policy coverages and amounts existing at the closing of the Loan shall satisfy the property insurance requirements in effect as of the date hereof.
(b) Commercial (also known as comprehensive) general liability insurance on an “occurrence” basis against claims for “personal injury” liability and liability for death, bodily injury and damage to property, products and completed operations, in limits satisfactory to Administrative Agent with respect to any one occurrence and the aggregate of all occurrences during any given annual policy period. Such insurance shall name Administrative Agent as an additional insured.
(c) Workers’ compensation insurance for all employees of Borrower in such amount as is required by Law and including employer’s liability insurance, if required by Administrative Agent.
(d) During any period of construction of tenant improvements or capital improvements, Borrower shall maintain, or cause others to maintain, such insurance as may be required by Administrative Agent of the type customarily carried in the case of similar construction for one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost of materials stored at or upon the Property. During any period of other construction upon the Property, Borrower shall maintain, or cause others to maintain, builder’s risk insurance (non-reporting form) of the type customarily carried in the case of similar construction for one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost of work in place and materials stored at or upon the Property.
(e) This Subsection applies if and to the extent any portion of the Improvements or any other structure is, are or in the future may be, under the Flood Insurance Laws, in a Special Flood Hazard Area. Borrower shall obtain and maintain at Borrower’s sole expense, a flood insurance policy on the Improvements and any such other structure in an amount required by Administrative Agent, but in no event less than the amount sufficient to meet the requirements of applicable Law, as such requirements may from time to time be in effect. If applicable, the flood insurance policy shall be obtained as a condition to closing of the Loan. In addition to the foregoing, Borrower shall obtain and maintain at Borrower’s expense, a flood insurance policy on any building materials and supplies and any personal property contents owned by Borrower, as soon as a flood insurance policy on such building materials, supplies and contents can be
Page 17



obtained, to the extent Administrative Agent and Lenders take a security interest in such building materials, supplies, and/or personal property contents, in an amount required by Administrative Agent, but in no event less than the amount sufficient to meet the requirements of applicable Law, as such requirements may from time to time be in effect.
(f) Loss of rental value insurance or business interruption insurance in an amount equal to twelve (12) months of the projected gross income of the Property and an extended period of indemnity endorsement providing an additional twelve (12) months’ loss of rental value or business interruption insurance after the Property has been restored or until the projected gross income returns to the level that existed prior to the loss, whichever is first to occur.
(g) The Environmental Insurance Policy.
Such other and further insurance as may be required from time to time by Administrative Agent in order to comply with regular requirements and practices of Administrative Agent in similar transactions including, if required by Administrative Agent, boiler and machinery insurance, pollution liability insurance, wind insurance and earthquake insurance, so long as any such insurance is generally available at commercially reasonable premiums as determined by Administrative Agent from time to time.
Each policy of insurance (i) shall be issued by one or more insurance companies each of which must have an A.M. Best Company financial and performance rating of A-IX or better and are qualified or authorized by the Laws of the State to assume the risks covered by such policy, (ii) with respect to the insurance described under the preceding Subsections (a), (d), (e) and (f), shall have attached thereto standard non-contributing, non-reporting mortgagee clauses in favor of and entitling Administrative Agent without contribution to collect any and all proceeds payable under such insurance, either as sole payee or as joint payee with the applicable Borrower, (iii) shall provide that such policy shall not be canceled for nonpayment of premiums without at least ten (10) days’ prior written Notice to Administrative Agent, or for any other reason without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written Notice to Administrative Agent, and (iv) shall provide that any loss otherwise payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding any act or negligence of Borrower which might, absent such agreement, result in a forfeiture of all or a part of such insurance payment. Borrower shall promptly pay all premiums prior to delinquency on such insurance and, not less than five (5) days prior to the expiration dates of each such policy, Borrower will deliver to Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent of the renewal or replacement of such policy continuing insurance in the form required herein and payment of premiums for any such policies within ten (10) days of the availability of same. Borrower will immediately give Notice to Administrative Agent of any cancellation of, or change in, any insurance policy. If Borrower fails to maintain any insurance and pay the premiums for such insurance as required by this Agreement, Administrative Agent may obtain such insurance or pay such premiums on behalf of Borrower, provided that Administrative Agent has provided to Borrower not less than two (2) Business Days’ prior Notice. Borrower will promptly pay to Administrative Agent all amounts paid by Administrative Agent for the foregoing. Such amounts shall be secured by the Deed of Trust. Administrative Agent shall not, because of accepting, rejecting, approving or obtaining insurance, incur any liability for (A) the existence, nonexistence, form or legal sufficiency thereof, (B) the solvency of any insurer, or (C) the payment of losses. Borrower may satisfy any insurance requirement hereunder by providing
Page 18



one or more “blanket” insurance policies, subject to Administrative Agent’s approval in each instance as to limits, coverages, forms, deductibles, inception and expiration dates, and cancellation provisions (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).
4.5 Adjustment of Condemnation and Insurance Claims. Borrower shall give prompt Notice to Administrative Agent of any Casualty or any Condemnation or threatened Condemnation. Administrative Agent is authorized, at its sole and absolute option and upon prior written notice to Borrower, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in its own or Borrower’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any Condemnation or Casualty, and to make proof of loss for and to settle or compromise any Claim in connection therewith. In such case, Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive all Condemnation Awards and Insurance Proceeds, and may deduct therefrom all of its Expenses. However, so long as no Default has occurred and Borrower is diligently pursuing its rights and remedies with respect to a Claim, Administrative Agent will obtain Borrower’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before making proof of loss for or settling or compromising such Claim. Borrower agrees to diligently assert its rights and remedies with respect to each Claim and to promptly pursue the settlement and compromise of each Claim subject to Administrative Agent’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If, prior to the receipt by Administrative Agent of any Condemnation Award or Insurance Proceeds, the Property shall have been sold pursuant to the provisions of the Deed of Trust, Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive such funds (a) to the extent of any deficiency found to be due upon such sale with interest thereon (whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Deed of Trust shall have been sought or recovered or denied), and (b) to the extent necessary to reimburse Administrative Agent for its Expenses. If any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds are paid to Borrower, Borrower shall receive the same in trust for Administrative Agent. Within ten (10) days after Borrower’s receipt of any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds, Borrower shall deliver such awards or proceeds to Administrative Agent in the form in which they were received, together with any endorsements or documents that may be necessary to effectively negotiate or transfer the same to Administrative Agent; provided, however, so long as no Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, a Condemnation award of less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) with respect to any single Condemnation, and Insurance Proceeds of less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) with respect to any single Casualty, may be retained by Borrower, which funds shall be used by Borrower to restore the Property. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver from time to time, upon the written request of Administrative Agent, such further instruments or documents as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to confirm the grant and assignment to Administrative Agent of any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds.
4.6 Utilization of Net Proceeds.
(a) Net Proceeds must be utilized either for payment of the Obligations or for the restoration of the Property. Net Proceeds shall be utilized for the restoration of the Property, but only if no Default shall exist and only if in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent (i) there has been no material adverse change in the financial viability of the Improvements and (ii) the Net Proceeds, together with other funds deposited with Administrative Agent for that purpose, are sufficient to pay the cost of the restoration pursuant to a budget and plans and
Page 19



specifications reasonably approved by Administrative Agent. Otherwise, Net Proceeds shall be utilized for payment of the Obligations.
(b) If Net Proceeds are to be utilized for the restoration of the Property, the Net Proceeds, together with any other funds deposited with Administrative Agent for that purpose, must be deposited in a Borrower’s Deposit Account, which shall be an interest-bearing account, with all accrued interest to become part of Borrower’s deposit. Borrower agrees that it shall include all interest and earnings on any such deposit as its income (and, if Borrower is a partnership or other pass-through entity, the income of its partners, members or beneficiaries, as the case may be), and shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in Borrower’s Deposit Account for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes. Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right to manage and control all funds in Borrower’s Deposit Account, but Administrative Agent shall have no fiduciary duty with respect to such funds. Administrative Agent will advance the deposited funds from time to time to Borrower for the payment of costs of restoration of the Property upon presentation of evidence acceptable to Administrative Agent that such restoration has been completed satisfactorily and lien-free. Any account fees and charges may be deducted from the balance, if any, in Borrower’s Deposit Account. Borrower grants to Administrative Agent a security interest in Borrower’s Deposit Account and all funds hereafter deposited to such deposit account, and any proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations. Such security interest shall be governed by the Uniform Commercial Code of the State, and Administrative Agent shall have available to it all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party thereunder. Borrower’s Deposit Account may be established and held in such name or names as Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, including in the name of Administrative Agent. Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent and any officer or agent of Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full power of substitution to open Borrower’s Deposit Account and to do any and every act that Borrower might do on its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Section 4.6. To the extent permitted by Law, Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. It is understood and agreed that this power of attorney, which shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest, cannot be revoked.
4.7 Management. Borrower at all times shall provide for the competent and responsible management and operation of the Property. At all times, Borrower shall cause the Property to be managed by an Approved Manager. All management contracts affecting the Property shall be terminable upon thirty (30) days’ written notice without penalty or charge (except for unpaid accrued management fees). All management contracts must be approved in writing by Administrative Agent prior to the execution of the same (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).
4.8 Books and Records; Financial Statements; Tax Returns. Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided to Administrative Agent all of the following:
(a) Unaudited balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flow of Borrower, certified in writing as true and correct in all material respects by a representative of Borrower reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent for each fiscal year, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within one hundred-twenty (120) days after the close of each fiscal year.
Page 20



(b) Unaudited Financial Statements of Guarantor: (i) for each fiscal year, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each fiscal year, and (ii) for each of the first three (3) quarters in the fiscal year, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within sixty (60) days after the close of such fiscal quarters. In the event that KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc., shall no longer file with the Securities and Exchange Commission fiscal year-end audited consolidated financial statements which include the results of operation of Guarantor, either (i) the financial statements of Guarantor to be delivered to Administrative Agent shall be audited by a third-party certified public accountant reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, or (ii) Guarantor shall deliver to Administrative Agent audited consolidated financial statements of KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. which include the results of operation of Guarantor.
(c) (i) Prior to the beginning of each fiscal year of Borrower, a capital and operating budget for the Property (the “Budget”); and (ii) for each fiscal quarter (and for the fiscal year through the end of that fiscal quarter) (A) property operating statements which include all income and expenses in connection with the Property, including in each case a comparison to the budget, (B) rent rolls, and (C) a current leasing status report (including tenants’ names, occupied tenant space, lease terms, rents, vacant space and proposed rents), as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event within sixty (60) days after the end of each such fiscal quarter, certified in writing as true and correct by a representative of Borrower reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.  Items provided under this Section shall be in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
(d) From time to time promptly after Administrative Agent’s or, subject to the provisions of Section 4.8(f), any Lender’s reasonable request, such additional information, reports and statements respecting the Property of Borrower and the Improvements of Borrower, or the business operations and financial condition of each reporting party, as Administrative Agent or any Lender, subject to the provisions of Section 4.8(f), may reasonably request.
Borrower will keep and maintain full and accurate books and records administered in accordance with sound accounting principles, consistently applied, showing in detail the earnings and expenses of the Property and the operation thereof. All Financial Statements shall be in form and detail satisfactory to Administrative Agent and shall contain or be attached to the signed and dated written certification of the reporting party in form specified by Administrative Agent to certify that the Financial Statements are furnished to Administrative Agent in connection with the extension of credit by Administrative Agent and constitute, to the knowledge of such reporting party, a true and correct statement of the reporting party’s financial position. All certifications and signatures on behalf of corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies or other entities shall be by a representative of the reporting party satisfactory to Administrative Agent. All fiscal year-end Financial Statements of Borrower and Guarantor may be prepared by the reporting party. All Financial Statements may be prepared by the applicable reporting party and shall include a minimum of a balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flow. Borrower shall provide, upon Administrative Agent’s request, convenient facilities for the audit and verification of any such statement. Additionally, Borrower will provide Administrative Agent at Borrower’s expense with all evidence that Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request as to compliance with all provisions of the Loan Documents. Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of any event or condition that
Page 21



could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse change in the financial condition of Borrower, of Guarantor (if known by Borrower), or in the construction progress of the Improvements.
(e) In addition, commencing with the period ending on December 31, 2019, within sixty (60) days of June 30 and December 31 of each year, and as of the date of any disbursement, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a compliance certificate to report the results of the Ongoing Debt Service Coverage Ratio in the form of Exhibit “P” attached hereto, together with any additional evidence Administrative Agent may reasonably require, as to Borrower’s compliance with the requirements of Section 4.22.
(f) Any request by any Lender to Borrower or Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document must be made by such Lender first notifying Administrative Agent of such Lender’s request, and Administrative Agent then making such request (which Administrative Agent agrees to do promptly after receiving any request from a Lender) to Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, on behalf of such Lender; it being understood and agreed that no Lender shall directly contact Borrower or Guarantor to make any request and that all such requests must be made through Administrative Agent.
4.9 Estoppel Certificates. Within ten (10) days after any request by Administrative Agent or a proposed assignee or purchaser of the Loan or any interest therein, Borrower shall certify in writing to Administrative Agent, or to such proposed assignee or purchaser, the then unpaid balance of the Loan and whether Borrower, to Borrower’s knowledge, claims any right of defense or setoff to the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, and if Borrower claims any such right of defense or setoff, Borrower shall give a detailed written description of such claimed right.
4.10 Taxes; Tax Receipts. Borrower shall timely file (taking into account any effective extensions for filing) all federal, state and local income tax returns and all other material tax returns, domestic and foreign, required to be filed by it and shall pay and discharge all Taxes prior to the date on which penalties are attached thereto unless and to the extent only that such Taxes are contested in accordance with the terms of the Deed of Trust. If Borrower fails, following demand, to provide Administrative Agent the tax receipts required under the Deed of Trust, without limiting any other remedies available to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may, at Borrower’s sole expense, obtain and enter into a tax services contract with respect to the Property with a tax reporting agency satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
4.11 Administrative Agent’s Rights to Pay and Perform. If, after written Notice, Borrower fails to promptly pay or perform any of the Obligations within any applicable grace or cure periods, Administrative Agent, without further Notice to or demand upon Borrower, and without waiving or releasing any Obligation or Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Borrower. Administrative Agent may enter upon the Property for that purpose and take all action thereon as Administrative Agent considers necessary or appropriate.
4.12 Reimbursement; Interest. If Administrative Agent shall incur any Expenses or pay any Claims after delivery of any Notice required by the terms of this Agreement or any other
Page 22



Loan Document by reason of the Loan or the rights and remedies provided under the Loan Documents (regardless of whether or not any of the Loan Documents expressly provide for an indemnification by Borrower against such Claims), Administrative Agent’s payment of such Expenses and Claims shall constitute advances to Borrower which shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent on demand, together with interest thereon from the date incurred until paid in full at the rate of interest then applicable to the Loan under the terms of this Agreement. Each advance shall be secured by the Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents as fully as if made to Borrower, regardless of the disposition thereof by the party or parties to whom such advance is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in any action or proceeding to foreclose the Deed of Trust or to recover or collect the Obligations, the provisions of Law governing the recovery of costs, disbursements and allowances shall prevail unaffected by this Section.

4.14 [Intentionally Omitted.]
4.15 Fees and Expenses. Borrower shall pay all fees, charges, costs and expenses required to satisfy the conditions of the Loan Documents. Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower will pay, when due, and if paid by Administrative Agent will reimburse Administrative Agent on demand for, all reasonable fees and expenses of any construction consultant (if any), the title insurer, environmental engineers, appraisers, surveyors and Administrative Agent’s counsel in connection with the closing, administration, modification or any “workout” of the Loan, or the enforcement of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents.

4.16 Appraisals. Administrative Agent may obtain from time to time an appraisal of all or any part of the Property, prepared in accordance with written instructions from Administrative Agent, from a third-party appraiser satisfactory to, and engaged directly by, Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent’s cost and expense, except as provided below. The cost of any such appraisal, including any costs for internal review thereof, obtained by Administrative Agent in connection with any extension of the maturity of the Loan, and the cost of each such appraisal obtained by Administrative Agent following the occurrence of a Default, shall by borne by Borrower and shall be paid by Borrower on written demand by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall provide a copy of such appraisal to each Lender promptly after receipt. In addition, provided (a) no Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) Borrower has delivered to Administrative Agent Administrative Agent’s standard
Page 23



disclosure and indemnification agreements regarding appraisals, and (c) Borrower has reimbursed Administrative Agent for the cost of such appraisal, including any costs for internal review thereof, to the extent required by this Section 4.16, Administrative Agent shall provide a copy of such appraisal to Borrower. Provided no Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the right to request that Administrative Agent obtain, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, including any costs for internal review thereof, a new appraisal of the Property.
4.17 Leasing and Tenant Matters. Borrower shall comply with the terms and conditions of Exhibit “D” in connection with the leasing of space within the Improvements. In addition, Borrower shall deposit with Administrative Agent on the date of Borrower’s receipt thereof any and all termination fees or other similar funds in excess of $1,000,000.00 paid by a tenant in connection with such tenant’s election to exercise an early termination option contained in its respective Lease or otherwise (the “Termination Fee Deposit”).  The Termination Fee Deposit shall be deposited into an interest-bearing account maintained with Administrative Agent for the benefit of Borrower. Administrative Agent shall make the Termination Fee Deposit available to reimburse Borrower for Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions paid with respect to reletting the vacated space at the Property which shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of Exhibit “C-2” attached hereto. After a vacated space has been re-leased to another tenant, any amounts remaining under the Termination Fee Deposit shall, at Borrower’s election, be returned to Borrower or be applied to repay a portion of the outstanding balance of the Loan. If a Default has occurred and is continuing, then Administrative Agent shall have the option to apply the Termination Fee Deposit to repay a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in accordance with Section 1.5 of this Agreement.
4.18 Preservation of Rights. Borrower shall obtain, preserve and maintain in good standing, as applicable, all rights, privileges and franchises necessary or desirable for the operation of the Property and the conduct of Borrower’s business thereon or therefrom.

4.20 [Intentionally Omitted.]

4.22 Debt Service Coverage Ratio.
(a) As of each Test Date, the Property shall maintain an Ongoing Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than the Minimum Required Debt Service Coverage Ratio. If, as of any Test Date, the Property does not meet such Minimum Required Debt Service Coverage Ratio, Borrower shall (in its sole discretion) have the right to, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written notice from Administrative Agent, either (without payment of any fee, premium or penalty) (i) deposit into an interest-bearing account of Borrower maintained with Administrative Agent (the “Interest Reserve Account”) an amount, reasonably determined by Administrative Agent, equal to the interest that is anticipated to accrue on the Loan for the six (6) month period following such Test Date, using (A) with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan which is not subject to a Swap Contract, the then current LIBOR Rate plus one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum), or (B) with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan which is subject to a Swap Contract, the fixed rate payable by Borrower under such Swap Contract, or (ii) repay the Loan in an amount sufficient to cause the Ongoing Debt Service Coverage Ratio to at least equal the Minimum Required Debt Service Coverage Ratio. If as of the next succeeding Test Date the Ongoing Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall equal or exceed the Minimum Required Debt Service Coverage Ratio, provided that no Default exists, any funds held in the Interest Reserve Account will be released to Borrower.
(b) Should the Ongoing Debt Service Coverage Ratio be less than the Minimum Required Debt Service Coverage Ratio for two (2) consecutive Test Dates, Borrower must, within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Administrative Agent, repay (without payment of any fee, premium or penalty) principal of the Loan outstanding in an amount sufficient to cause the Ongoing Debt Service Coverage Ratio to be at least 1.30:1.00 as of such second Test Date. Provided that no Default exists, any amounts then on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account may be applied by Borrower toward any such required payment. Any amounts remaining on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account following any payment made by Borrower to cause the Ongoing Debt Service Coverage Ratio to be at least 1.30:1.00 shall, provided no Default exists, be returned to Borrower.
(c) The Interest Reserve Account shall be in the name of Borrower for the benefit of Administrative Agent, provided that Borrower shall be the owner of all funds (including any accrued interest) on deposit in such account for all purposes, including for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes. The Interest Reserve Account shall be subject to a security interest granted to Lender as security for the Obligations pursuant to the Security Agreement (Interest Reserve Account). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, Administrative Agent may exercise its rights and remedies with respect to the Interest Reserve Account to the extent provided in the Security Agreement (Interest Reserve Account). The Interest Reserve Account shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Administrative Agent and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither Borrower nor any other Person claiming on behalf of or through Borrower shall have any right of withdrawal therefrom or any other right or power with respect thereto.
(d) Borrower may direct that amounts on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account be applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, provided (i) no Default exists, and
Page 25



(ii) after giving effect to such application, the Ongoing Debt Service Coverage Ratio is at least 1.10:1.00.
(e) Upon the full and final satisfaction of the Obligations, Lender shall release all funds then remaining on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account and promptly remit the same to the party or parties legally entitled thereto.
4.23 Anti-Corruption Laws. Borrower, Guarantor and their respective subsidiaries shall each conduct its businesses in compliance with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, the U.K. Bribery Act 2010, and other similar anti-corruption legislation in other jurisdictions, and KBS Realty Advisors, LLC, the investment advisor to Borrower, on behalf of Borrower, maintains policies and procedures designed to promote and achieve compliance with such Laws.
4.24 Controlled Substances. Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.10, Borrower shall not, and shall not knowingly suffer or knowingly permit any tenant leasing space in the Improvements to violate any Laws affecting the Property, including the Controlled Substances Act, or which could otherwise result in the occurrence of a Default under Section 7.1(o), including the commencement of any proceedings under the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act. Upon learning of any conduct contrary to this Section, Borrower shall immediately take all actions reasonably expected under the circumstances to terminate any such use of the Property, including: (a) to give timely notice to any appropriate law enforcement agency of information that led Borrower to know such conduct had occurred, and (b) in a timely fashion to revoke or make a good faith attempt to revoke permission for those engaging in such conduct to use the Property or to take reasonable actions in consultation with a law enforcement agency to discourage or prevent illegal use of the applicable Property.

(o) A judicial or nonjudicial forfeiture or seizure proceeding is commenced by a Governmental Authority and remains pending with respect to the Property or any part thereof, on the grounds that the Property or any part thereof had been used to commit or facilitate the commission of a criminal offense by any Person, including any tenant, pursuant to any Law, including the Controlled Substances Act or the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act, regardless of whether or not the Property or the Deed of Trust shall become subject to forfeiture or seizure in connection therewith; provided, however, that no Default shall occur under this clause (o) unless Borrower fails to have the enforcement action stayed (so long as such stay is not lifted) or dismissed within ninety (90) days after the commencement of such proceedings.
7.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, Administrative Agent at its election may (but shall not be obligated to) without the consent of and shall at the direction of the Required Lenders, without notice, exercise any and all rights and remedies afforded by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, Law, equity or otherwise, including (a) declaring any and all Indebtedness immediately due and payable (provided that, without limitation of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law, any obligation of Lenders to make advances, including Additional Advances, shall automatically terminate, and the unpaid principal amount of the Loan outstanding and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, in each case without further act of Administrative Agent or Lenders); (b) reducing any claim to judgment; (c) obtaining appointment of a receiver (to which Borrower hereby consents) and/or judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure under the Deed of Trust; (d) terminating Lenders’ Commitments; (e) in its own name on behalf of the Lenders or in the name of Borrower, entering into possession of the Property, leasing and operating the Property, performing all work and constructing Improvements; and (f) setting-off and applying, to the extent thereof and to the maximum extent permitted by Law, sums in the Interest Reserve Account, any and all deposits, funds, or assets at any time held and any and all other indebtedness at any time owing by Administrative Agent or any Lender to or for the credit or account of Borrower against any Indebtedness.
Borrower hereby appoints Administrative Agent as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, which power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, with full power of substitution if Administrative Agent so elects, to do any of the following in Borrower’s name upon the
Page 34



occurrence and during the continuance of a Default: (i) endorse the name of Borrower on any checks or drafts representing proceeds of any insurance policies, or other checks or instruments payable to Borrower with respect to the Property; (ii) prosecute or defend any action or proceeding incident to the Property; (iii) pay, settle, or compromise all bills and claims regarding the Property; (iv) perform the obligations and exercise the rights of Borrower under all Leases, guaranties and other agreements to which it is a party or by which the Property is bound, enter into Leases, guaranties and other agreements regarding the Property and pay all leasing, operating and capital expenses of the Property; and (v) take over and use all or any part of the labor, materials, supplies and equipment contracted for, owned by, or under the control of Borrower, whether or not previously incorporated into the Improvements of the Property. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability to Borrower for the sufficiency or adequacy of any such actions taken by Administrative Agent.
ARTICLE 8 -  ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
8.1 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.
(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 8.9) appoints, designates and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Borrower, without further inquiry or investigation, shall, and are hereby authorized by Lenders to, assume that all actions taken by Administrative Agent hereunder and in connection with or under the Loan Documents are duly authorized by Lenders and Borrower shall be entitled to rely on Administrative Agent’s acknowledgment of consent and approvals when required under the Loan Documents. The term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. With respect to any matter that requires, in accordance with the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document, the consent or approval of any or all Lenders, Borrower shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any written notification provided by Administrative Agent to Borrower that such consent or approval has been obtained.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, and its duties and responsibilities shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties:
(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent or its Related Parties;

Page 35



(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty or responsibility to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower, Guarantor or any of their Related Parties that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties in any capacity.
(c) No individual Lender or group of Lenders shall have any right to amend or waive, or consent to the departure of any party from any provision of any Loan Document, or secure or enforce the obligations of Borrower or any other party pursuant to the Loan Documents, or otherwise. All such rights, on behalf of Administrative Agent or any Lender or Lenders, shall be held and exercised solely by and at the option of Administrative Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders. Such rights, however, are subject to the rights of a Lender or Lenders, as expressly set forth in this Agreement, to approve matters or direct Administrative Agent to take or refrain from taking action as set forth in this Agreement. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights, or taking or refraining from taking any actions which Administrative Agent is expressly entitled to exercise or take under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including (i) the determination if and to what extent matters or items subject to Administrative Agent’s satisfaction are acceptable or otherwise within its discretion, (ii) the making of Administrative Agent Advances, and (iii) the exercise of remedies pursuant to, but subject to, Article 7 or pursuant to any other Loan Document and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by Lenders.
(d) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person liable for any part of the Indebtedness, no individual Lender or group of Lenders shall have the right, and Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of the Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower or any other Person) shall be exclusively entitled and empowered on behalf of itself and the Lenders, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loan and all other Obligations that are owing and
Page 36



unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders and Administrative Agent under Section 4.15 allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under Section 4.15.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of Lenders except as approved by the Required Lenders or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claims of Lenders except as approved by the Required Lenders in any such proceeding.
8.2 Delegation of Duties; Advice.
(a) Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through one or more sub-agents appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article 8 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Loan as well as activities as Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
(b) Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultant experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel or other consultant experts.
8.3 Liability of Administrative Agent. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Related Party of Administrative Agent shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required
Page 37



Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary), or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment, or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower, Guarantor, any subsidiary or Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor, or any other Person, or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Related Party of Administrative Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant or any other Person to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower, Guarantor, any of their Related Parties or any other Person, or to ascertain or inquire into (u) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (w) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (x) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Loan Documents, (y) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (z) the satisfaction of any condition set forth herein or therein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
8.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent; Authorized Signers. Administrative Agent is authorized to rely upon the continuing authority of the Authorized Persons and Authorized Signers to bind Borrower with respect to all matters pertaining to the Loan and the Loan Documents, including the submission of Draw Requests and the selection of interest rates. Such authorization may be changed only upon written notice addressed to Administrative Agent accompanied by evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, of the authority of the Person giving such notice. Such notice shall be effective not sooner than five (5) Business Days following receipt thereof by Administrative Agent. Without limitation of the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected, and shall be indemnified by Lenders pursuant to Section 8.7, in relying, upon any writing , resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex, telephone message, email or other electronic (including any Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) communication, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any party to the Loan Documents), independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of the Loan or any Additional Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of the Loan or such Additional Advance. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Exhibit “C-1”, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to,
Page 38



approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objections. Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders or all Lenders if required hereunder as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected, and shall be indemnified by Lenders pursuant to Section 8.7, in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Lenders. In the absence of written instructions from the Required Lenders or such greater number of Lenders, as expressly required hereunder, Administrative Agent may take or not take any action, at its discretion, unless this Agreement specifically requires the consent of the Required Lenders or such greater number of Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Administrative Agent be required to take any action that it determines may expose Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law, and Administrative Agent shall be indemnified by Lenders pursuant to Section 8.7 with respect to such determination.
8.5 Notice of Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Potential Default unless Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement and describing such Default or Potential Default, and Administrative Agent determines that such Default or such Potential Default (if it were to become a Default) will have a Material Adverse Effect. Administrative Agent will notify Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any such Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article 7; provided, however, that unless and until Administrative Agent has received any such request, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of Lenders.
8.6 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent.
(a) Each Lender acknowledges that neither Administrative Agent nor any Related Party of Administrative Agent has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of Borrower and Guarantor, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Administrative Agent or any Related Party of Administrative Agent to any Lenders as to any matter, including whether Administrative Agent or any Related Party of Administrative Agent have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon
Page 39



Administrative Agent or any Related Party of Administrative Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and Guarantor, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower and Guarantor hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any Related Party of Administrative Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and Guarantor.
(b) Administrative Agent promptly after its receipt shall provide each Lender such notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Administrative Agent herein. To the extent not already available to a Lender, Administrative Agent shall also provide each Lender and/or make available for such Lender’s inspection during reasonable business hours and at such Lender’s expense, promptly after such Lender’s written request therefor: (i) copies of the Loan Documents; (ii) such information as is then in Administrative Agent’s possession in respect of the current status of principal and interest payments and accruals in respect of the Loan; (iii) copies of all current financial statements in respect of Borrower, Guarantor or other Person liable for payment or performance by Borrower of any obligations under the Loan Documents, then in Administrative Agent’s possession with respect to the Loan; and (iv) other current factual information then in Administrative Agent’s possession with respect to the Loan and bearing on the continuing creditworthiness of Borrower or Guarantor, or any of their respective Affiliates; provided that nothing contained in this Section shall impose any liability upon Administrative Agent for its failure to provide a Lender any of such Loan Documents, information, or financial statements, unless such failure constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence on Administrative Agent’s part; and provided, further, that Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to provide any Lender with any information in violation of Law or any contractual restrictions on the disclosure thereof (provided such contractual restrictions shall not apply to distributing to a Lender factual and financial information expressly required to be provided herein). Except as set forth above, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lenders with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of Administrative Agent or any Related Party of Administrative Agent.
8.7 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. WHETHER OR NOT THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY ARE CONSUMMATED, LENDERS HEREBY INDEMNIFY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH RELATED PARTY OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY OR ON BEHALF OF BORROWER AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE OBLIGATION OF BORROWER TO DO SO), PRO RATA, AND HOLD HARMLESS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH RELATED PARTY OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FROM AND
Page 40



AGAINST ANY AND ALL INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES INCURRED BY IT, INCLUDING BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER ANY FORECLOSURE OF THE DEED OF TRUST, OTHER EXERCISE OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OR SALE OF THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING THOSE IN WHOLE OR PART ARISING FROM ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S OR ANY RELATED PARTY’S STRICT LIABILITY, OR COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to Administrative Agent or any Related Party of Administrative Agent of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 8.7. All payments on account of the foregoing shall be due and payable ten (10) days after demand by Administrative Agent therefor. Without limitation of the foregoing, to the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower, each Lender shall reimburse Administrative Agent within ten (10) days after demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Administrative Agent as described in Section 4.15. The undertaking in this Section 8.7 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations.
8.8 Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial, advisory, underwriting or other business with any party to the Loan Documents and their respective subsidiaries and other Affiliates as though Administrative Agent was not Administrative Agent hereunder, without notice to or consent of Lenders and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. Lenders acknowledge that Borrower and Bank of America or its Affiliate have entered or may enter into Swap Transactions. Lenders shall have no right to share in any portion of any payments made by Borrower under the terms of such Swap Transactions (except and to the extent Lenders shall have participated with Bank of America or such Affiliate in such Swap Transactions). Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any party to the Loan Documents, or their respective Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such parties or such parties’ Affiliates) and acknowledge that Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Loan, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lenders and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not Administrative Agent or party to Swap Transactions, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Bank of America in its individual capacity.
8.9 Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Lenders and Borrower. Additionally, if the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, commits gross negligence or willful misconduct in exercising its rights and
Page 41



obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent. If Administrative Agent resigns or is so removed by the Required Lenders under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall, (i) within thirty (30) days after receipt of Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation or (ii) within five Business Days of the removal of Administrative Agent, as applicable, appoint from among Lenders a successor administrative agent for Lenders, which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by Borrower at all times other than during the existence of a Default (which consent of Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon the acceptance by the successor administrative agent of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal, as applicable, shall be effective, such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, or on or before the removal day specified by Required Lenders in their removal notice to Administrative Agent and Borrower, whichever applies, then the Lender other than the retiring Administrative Agent holding the largest Commitment shall automatically become the successor administrative agent; it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal, as applicable, shall in all instances become effective upon such thirtieth (30th) day, or upon the removal day set forth in Required Lenders’ removal notice, whichever applies. After the effective date any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII and other applicable Sections of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.
8.10 Releases; Acquisition and Transfers of Collateral.
(a) Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent to transfer or release any lien on, or after foreclosure or other acquisition of title by Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders to transfer or sell, any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments, the termination of all obligations of each Swap Counterparty to advance any funds under any Swap Contract, and payment and satisfaction in full of all Indebtedness; (ii) constituting a release, transfer or sale of a lien or Collateral if Borrower will certify to Administrative Agent that the release, transfer or sale is permitted under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (and Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); or (iii) after foreclosure or other acquisition of title (1) in the discretion of Administrative Agent if a purchase price of at least ninety percent (90%)) of the value indicated in the most recent appraisal of the collateral obtained by Administrative Agent and made in accordance with regulations governing Administrative Agent, less any reduction indicated in the appraised value estimated by any experts in the applicable areas engaged by Administrative Agent; or (2) if approved by the Required Lenders.
(b) If all or any portion of the Collateral is acquired by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, Administrative Agent shall take title to the Collateral in its name or by an
Page 42



Affiliate of Administrative Agent, but for the benefit of all Lenders in their Pro Rata Shares on the date of the foreclosure sale or recordation of the deed in lieu of foreclosure (the “Acquisition Date”). Administrative Agent and all Lenders hereby expressly waive and relinquish any right of partition with respect to any collateral so acquired. After any Collateral is acquired, Administrative Agent shall appoint and retain one or more Persons (individually and collectively, the “OREO Property Manager”) experienced in the management, leasing, sale and/or disposition of similar properties.
(c) After consulting with the OREO Property Manager, Administrative Agent shall prepare a written plan for operation, management, improvement, maintenance, repair, sale and disposition of the Collateral and a budget for the aforesaid, which may include a reasonable management fee payable to Administrative Agent (the “Business Plan”). Administrative Agent will deliver the Business Plan not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the Acquisition Date to each Lender with a written request for approval of the Business Plan. If the Business Plan is approved by the Required Lenders, Administrative Agent and the OREO Property Manager shall adhere to the Business Plan until a different Business Plan is approved by the Required Lenders. Administrative Agent may propose an amendment to the Business Plan as it deems appropriate, which shall also be subject to Required Lender approval. If the Business Plan (as may be amended) proposed by Administrative Agent is not approved by the Required Lenders, or if sixty (60) days have elapsed following the Acquisition Date without a Business Plan being proposed by Administrative Agent, any Lender may propose an alternative Business Plan, which Administrative Agent shall submit to all Lenders for their approval. If an alternative Business Plan is approved by the Required Lenders, Administrative Agent may appoint one of the approving Lenders to implement the alternative Business Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, unless in violation of an approved Business Plan or otherwise in an emergency situation, Administrative Agent shall, subject to Section 8.10(a), have the right but not the obligation to take any action in connection with the Collateral (including those with respect to all Real Property Taxes, Insurance Premiums, operation, management, improvement, maintenance, repair, sale and disposition), or any portion thereof.
(d) Upon written request by Administrative Agent or Borrower at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to sell, transfer or release any such liens of particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 8.10; provided, however, that (i) Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any document necessary to evidence such release, transfer or sale on terms that, in Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the transfer, release or sale without recourse, representation or warranty, and (ii) such transfer, release or sale shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the obligations of Borrower other than those expressly being released.
(e) If only two (2) Lenders exist at the time Administrative Agent receives a purchase offer for Collateral, the consent of the Required Lenders is required pursuant to Section 8.10(a), and one of the Lenders does not consent within ten (10) Business Days after notification from Administrative Agent, the consenting Lender may, in writing to the other Lender, offer (“Purchase Offer”) to purchase all of the non-consenting Lender’s right, title and interest in such Collateral for a purchase price equal to the non-consenting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the net proceeds anticipated from such sale of such Collateral (as reasonably determined by
Page 43



Administrative Agent, including the undiscounted face principal amount of any purchase money obligation not payable at closing) (“Lender Net Sale Proceeds”). Within ten (10) Business Days thereafter the non-consenting Lender shall be deemed to have accepted such Purchase Offer unless the non-consenting Lender notifies Administrative Agent that it elects to purchase all of the consenting Lender’s right, title and interest in such Collateral for a purchase price payable by the non-consenting Lender in an amount equal to the consenting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Lender Net Sale Proceeds. Any amount payable hereunder by a Lender shall be due on the earlier to occur of the closing of the sale of such Collateral or ninety (90) days after receipt by the non-consenting Lender of the Purchase Offer, regardless of whether such Collateral is sold.
8.11 Application of Payments. Except as otherwise provided below with respect to Defaulting Lenders, aggregate principal and interest payments, payments for Indemnified Liabilities and/or foreclosure or sale of the collateral, and net operating income from the collateral during any period it is owned by Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders (“Payments”) shall be apportioned pro rata among Lenders and payments of any fees (other than fees designated for Administrative Agent’s separate account) shall, as applicable, be apportioned pro rata among Lenders. All pro rata Payments shall be remitted to Administrative Agent and all such payments not constituting payment of specific fees, and all proceeds of the Collateral received by Administrative Agent, shall be applied first, to pay any fees, indemnities, costs, expenses (including those in Section 8.7) and reimbursements then due to Administrative Agent from Borrower (including any of the foregoing constituting Administrative Agent Advances, together with interest thereon); second, to pay any fees, costs, expenses and reimbursements then due to Lenders from Borrower (including any of the foregoing constituting Administrative Agent Advances, together with interest thereon, reimbursed by Lenders); third, to pay (on a pari passu basis) pro rata interest and late charges due in respect of the Indebtedness and regularly occurring payments under any Swap Contract; fourth, to pay (on a pari passu basis) or prepay pro rata principal of the Indebtedness and “Settlement Amounts” or “Close-Out Amounts”, and similar payments, as applicable, payable by Borrower under Swap Transactions; and last, to Borrower, if required by Law, or Lenders in Pro Rata Share percentages equal to their percentages at the termination of the Aggregate Commitments.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, obligations arising under Swap Contracts shall be excluded from the application described above in this Section 8.11 if Administrative Agent has not received a Secured Party Designation Notice, together with such supporting documentation as Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Hedge Bank. Each Hedge Bank not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Article VIII for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.
8.12 Administrative Agent Advances.
(a) Administrative Agent is authorized, from time to time, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to make, authorize or determine other advances, or otherwise expend funds, on behalf of Lenders (“Administrative Agent Advances”), (i) to pay any costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 4.15, (ii) when the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Exhibit “C-1” and Exhibit “C-2” have been satisfied to the extent required by Administrative Agent, and (iii)

when Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable to preserve or protect the Collateral or any portion thereof (including those with respect to Real Property Taxes, Insurance Premiums, operation, management, improvements, maintenance, repair, sale and disposition) (A) subject to Section 8.5, after the occurrence of a Default, and (B) subject to Section 8.10, after acquisition of all or a portion of the Collateral by foreclosure or otherwise.
(b) Administrative Agent Advances shall constitute obligatory advances of Lenders under this Agreement, shall be repayable on demand and secured by the Collateral, and if unpaid by Lenders as set forth below shall bear interest at the rate applicable to such amount under the Loan or if no longer applicable, at the Base Rate. Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender in writing of each Administrative Agent Advance. Upon receipt of notice from Administrative Agent of its making of an Administrative Agent Advance, each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the Administrative Agent Advance available to Administrative Agent, in same day funds, to such account of Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent may designate, (i) on or before 3:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent’s Time) on the day Administrative Agent provides Lenders with notice of the making of such Administrative Agent Advance if Administrative Agent provides such notice on or before 12:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent’s Time), or (ii) on or before 12:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent’s Time) on the Business Day immediately following the day Administrative Agent provides Lenders with notice of the making of such Administrative Agent Advance if Administrative Agent provides notice after 12:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent’s Time).
8.13 Defaulting Lender.
8.13.1 Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(a) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 9.9.
(b) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 7 or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.7 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Potential Default exists), to the funding of any advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
Page 45



fifth, so long as no Default or Potential Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such advances were made at a time when the conditions for same, if any, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the advances of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any advances of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all advances are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
8.13.2 Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower and Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Commitments (and outstanding principal balance of all advances) to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
8.14 Lender ERISA Representation and Warranty. Each Lender represents and warrants as of the date hereof to Administrative Agent and Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, for the benefit of Borrower or any Guarantor, that (a) such Lender is not and will not be (i) an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA or (ii) a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e) of the Code; (b) the assets of such Lender do not and will not constitute “plan assets” within the meaning of the United States Department of Labor Regulations set forth in 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA; (c) such Lender is not and will not be a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA; and (d) transactions by or with such Lender are not and will not be subject to federal, state or local statutes applicable to such Lender regulating investments of fiduciaries with respect to governmental plans.
8.15 Benefit. The terms and conditions of this Article VIII are inserted for the sole benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders; the same may be waived in whole or in part, with or without terms or conditions, without prejudicing Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ rights to later assert them in whole or in part. The provisions of this Article VIII are solely among and for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and in no event shall Borrower be considered a party thereto or a beneficiary thereof (unless specifically provided otherwise herein)
Page 46



or have any additional obligations arising solely out of the provisions contained in this Article VIII.
8.16 Co-Agents; Lead Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co-agent,” “bookrunner,” or “lead manager,” “arranger,” “lead arranger” or “co-arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such lenders, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co-agent” or “lead manager” shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.
8.17 Lender Participation in Swap Transactions. If Borrower enters into any Swap Transaction and Swap Contract with one or more Lenders, such Lender(s) shall notify each other then-existing Lender of the terms of each such Swap Transaction and each then-existing Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) shall have the right in its sole discretion to participate in each such Swap Transaction pro rata according to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of the applicable Swap Transaction. All such participation interests shall be governed pursuant to separate documentation.
8.18 Swap Contracts. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no Hedge Bank that obtains the benefit of the provisions of Section 8.11 or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or any Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) (or to notice of or to consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of the provisions hereof or any Loan Document) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VIII to the contrary, Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Swap Contracts except to the extent expressly provided herein and unless Administrative Agent has received a Secured Party Designation Notice with respect to the related Swap Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Hedge Bank. Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Swap Contracts.
8.19 Borrower Not a Party. Except as expressly otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Article 8 are solely among and for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and except as expressly otherwise provided herein, in no event shall Borrower be considered a party thereto or a beneficiary thereof or have any additional obligations arising solely out of the provisions contained in this Article 8.

ARTICLE 9 -  GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
9.1 Consents; Borrower’s Indemnity. Except where otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, in any instance where the approval, consent or the exercise of Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ judgment is expressly required under any Loan Document, the granting or denial of such approval or consent and the exercise of such judgment shall be (a) within the sole discretion of Administrative Agent or Lenders; (b) deemed to have been given only by a specific writing intended for the purpose given and executed by Administrative Agent or, to the extent applicable, Lenders; and (c) free from any limitation or requirement of reasonableness. Notwithstanding any approvals or consents by Administrative Agent or Lenders, neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any obligation or responsibility whatsoever for the adequacy, form or content of any appraisal, environmental, engineering, property condition or other inspection, audit, report or assessment, any contract, any change order, any lease, or any other matter incident to the Property. Any appraisal, inspection, audit, report or assessment of the Property or the books and records of Borrower or Guarantor, or the procuring of documents and financial and other information, by or on behalf of Administrative Agent shall be for Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ protection only, and shall not constitute an assumption of responsibility to Borrower or anyone else with regard to the condition, value, construction, maintenance or operation of the Property, or relieve Borrower or Guarantor of any of its obligations. NEITHER ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE FOR, AND BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH LENDER, AND EACH RELATED PARTY OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER (COLLECTIVELY, THE “INDEMNITEES”) FROM AND AGAINST: (A) ANY CLAIM, ACTION, LOSS OR COST (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND, TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED UNDER SECTION 4.15, LENDERS) ARISING FROM, RELATING TO OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH (I) THE LEASES, THE PROPERTY, THE IMPROVEMENTS AND THE OTHER COLLATERAL, INCLUDING ANY DEFECT THEREIN, (II) THE PROTECTION, PRESERVATION, OPERATION, MANAGEMENT, IMPROVEMENT, MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, SALE AND DISPOSITION OF THE PROPERTY AND OTHER COLLATERAL (INCLUDING THOSE WITH RESPECT TO REAL PROPERTY TAXES, INSURANCE PREMIUMS, AND LEASING COSTS AND BROKER FEES) OR (III) THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OBLIGATION OF BORROWER WHATSOEVER; (B) ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES AND DISBURSEMENTS (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND, TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED UNDER SECTION 4.15, LENDERS) OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER WHICH MAY AT ANY TIME BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY SUCH INDEMNITEE IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH (I) ANY OF THE MATTERS DESCRIBED IN THE FOREGOING CLAUSE (A), (II) THE EXECUTION, DELIVERY, ENFORCEMENT, PERFORMANCE OR ADMINISTRATION OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT, LETTER OR INSTRUMENT DELIVERED IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
Page 48



THEREBY, (III) ANY COMMITMENT OR THE LOAN, INCLUDING ALL CLAIMS BY ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED BROKER FOR BORROWER OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF BORROWER FOR BROKERAGE FEES IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN, OR (IV) ANY ACTUAL OR PROSPECTIVE CLAIM, LITIGATION, INVESTIGATION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY (INCLUDING ANY INVESTIGATION OF, PREPARATION FOR, OR DEFENSE OF ANY PENDING OR THREATENED CLAIM, INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING) AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY INDEMNITEE IS A PARTY THERETO, INCLUDING ALL COSTS AND EXPENSES INCURRED BY ANY INDEMNITEE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUBPOENA, DEPOSITION OR OTHERWISE ACTING AS A WITNESS; (C) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, ACTIONS OR CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF INFORMATION (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.6) OR OTHER MATERIALS OBTAINED THROUGH INTERNET, INTRALINKS OR OTHER SIMILAR INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT; AND (D) ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, LOSSES, COSTS OR EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND, TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED UNDER SECTION 4.15, LENDERS) THAT ANY INDEMNITEE SUFFERS OR INCURS AS A RESULT OF THE ASSERTION OF ANY FOREGOING CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION OR PROCEEDING, OR AS A RESULT OF THE PREPARATION OF ANY DEFENSE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY FOREGOING CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION OR PROCEEDING, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT AN INDEMNITEE IS A PARTY TO SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION OR PROCEEDING AND WHETHER IT IS DEFEATED, SUCCESSFUL OR WITHDRAWN, (ALL OF THE FOREGOING, COLLECTIVELY, THE “INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES”), INCLUDING IN WHOLE OR PART ANY LOSS ARISING OUT OF AN INDEMNITEE’S STRICT LIABILITY, OR COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Nothing, including any advance or acceptance of any document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party by Administrative Agent or Lenders. All payments on account of the Indemnified Liabilities shall be due and payable ten (10) Business Days after demand by Administrative Agent therefor. The indemnities in this Section 9.1 shall not terminate upon the release, foreclosure or other termination of the Deed of Trust but will survive the release, foreclosure of the Deed of Trust or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, the repayment of the Indebtedness, the discharge and release of the Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, any bankruptcy or other debtor relief proceeding, and any other event whatsoever.

9.2 Miscellaneous.
9.2.1 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), all of which are identical, and all of which counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
9.2.2 Effectiveness; Signature Copies. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Administrative Agent and when Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Loan Documents, and all signed certificates and other documents delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile or e-mail transmission (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”). The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on all parties to the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile or e-mail document or signature.
9.2.3 Electronic Signatures. The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or any other state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
9.2.4 Severability. A determination that any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision and the determination that the application of any provision of this Agreement to any Person or circumstance is illegal or unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to other Persons or circumstances. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the unenforceable or invalid provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the unenforceable or invalid provisions. The unenforceability or invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2.4, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
9.2.5 Time of the Essence. Time shall be of the essence with respect to Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents.

Page 50



9.2.6 Governing Law. This Agreement and each other Loan Document (except to the extent expressly set forth therein), and their respective validity, enforcement and interpretation, shall be governed by the Laws of the State of Colorado (without regard to any conflict of Laws principles) and applicable United States federal Law.
9.3 Notices.
9.3.1 Modes of Delivery; Changes. Except as otherwise provided herein or as required by Law, all notices, and other communications required or which any party desires to give under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing. Unless otherwise specifically provided in such other Loan Document, all such notices and other communications shall be deemed sufficiently given or furnished if delivered by personal delivery, by nationally recognized overnight courier service, by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, or by facsimile (with, subject to Section 9.3.2, a confirmatory duplicate copy sent by first class United States mail), addressed to the party to whom directed or by (subject to Section 9.3.3) electronic mail addressed to Borrower, at the addresses set forth at the end of this Agreement or to Administrative Agent or Lenders at the addresses specified for notices on the Schedule of Lenders (unless changed by similar notice in writing given by the particular party whose address is to be changed). Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given and received either at the time of personal delivery or, in the case of courier or mail, as of the date of first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner provided herein, or, in the case of facsimile, upon receipt; provided, however, that service of a notice required by any applicable statute shall be considered complete when the requirements of that statute are met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of change of address shall be effective except upon actual receipt. This Section 9.3 shall not be construed in any way to affect or impair any waiver of notice or demand provided in any Loan Document or to require giving of notice or demand to or upon any Person in any situation or for any reason.
9.3.2 Limited Use of Electronic Mail. Electronic mail and internet and intranet websites may be used only to distribute routine communications, such as financial statements and other information, and to distribute Loan Documents for execution by the parties thereto, and for other purposes described herein, and may not be used for any other purpose.
9.3.3 Electronic Delivery. Borrower hereby acknowledges that (i) Administrative Agent and/or Arranger may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Debt Domain, IntraLinks, SyndTrak or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (ii) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Borrower or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Person’s securities. Borrower hereby agrees that so long as Borrower is the issuer of any outstanding debt or equity securities that are registered or issued pursuant to a private offering or is actively contemplating issuing any such securities all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (A) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” Borrower shall be
Page 51



deemed to have authorized Administrative Agent, Arranger and Lenders to treat Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities Laws (provided, however, that to the extent Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.6); (B) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information,” and (C) Administrative Agent and Arranger shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Borrower shall be under any obligation to mark any Borrower Materials “PUBLIC.”
9.3.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Loan advance notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Borrower shall indemnify each Indemnitee from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other communications with Administrative Agent may be recorded by Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. If a Lender does not notify or inform Administrative Agent of whether or not it consents to, or approves of or agrees to any matter of any nature whatsoever with respect to which its consent, approval or agreement is required under the express provisions of this Agreement or with respect to which its consent, approval or agreement is otherwise requested by Administrative Agent, in connection with the Loan or any matter pertaining to the Loan, within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period as may be specified by Administrative Agent) after such consent, approval or agreement is requested by Administrative Agent, Lender shall be deemed to have given its consent, approval or agreement, as the case may be, with respect to the matter in question.
9.4 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to Administrative Agent or any Lender, or Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises any right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, to a depository (including Administrative Agent, any Lender or its or their Affiliates) for returned items or insufficient collected funds, or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.
Page 52



9.5 Successors and Assigns.
(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. Subject to Section 8.14, the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.5(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.5(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 9.5(e) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent permitted in Section 9.5(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of Administrative Agent and Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may (at no cost, expense, or liability to Borrowers, other than de minimis costs or expenses) assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and Pro Rata Share of the Loan at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) Minimum Amounts.
(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and Pro Rata Share of the Loan at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in Section 9.5(b)(i)(B) in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B) in any case not described in Section 9.5(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes the Pro Rata Share of the Loan outstanding) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding Pro Rata Share of the Loan that is subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the “Effective Date” specified in the Assignment and Assumption, shall not be less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and, with respect to any consent of Borrower, shall be deemed given if Administrative Agent does not receive a written disapproval from Borrower within five (5) Business Days after delivery of any request for consent.
Borrower shall not be required to (a) execute any documents in connection with any such assignment that expand any of the obligations of Borrower hereunder or under any of the other
Page 53



Loan Documents or create any additional covenants, representations or warranties of Borrower hereunder or thereunder, or (b) provide any representations or warranties confirming the accuracy of any information or otherwise.
(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Loan and the Commitment assigned.
(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 9.5(b)(i)(B) and, in addition:
(A) the consent of Borrower shall be required unless (1) a Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; it being understood and agreed that it shall be reasonable for Borrower to withhold its consent if, as a result of such assignment (X) Borrower will be required to make additional payments in respect of Indemnified Taxes as provided in Section 2.1 (Y) Borrower demonstrate to Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction that, in the future, Borrower will likely be required to make additional payments in respect of Indemnified Taxes as provided in Section 2.1), or (Z) any such assignment would result in a termination of any Swap Contract that Borrower or Guarantor is a party to; provided that Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and
(B) the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender.
(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500); provided, however, that Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Administrative Details Reply Form.
(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person liable for any part of the Obligations or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of the foregoing, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to a natural Person.

Page 54



(vi) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Borrower and Administrative Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Share of the Loan previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.5(b), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.5(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to Borrower’s obligations surviving termination of this Agreement); provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request by Administrative Agent, Borrower (at its expense to the extent that the expenses of Borrower do not exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000)) shall execute and deliver substitute Note(s) to Administrative Agent for the assignee, and, for partial assignments, the assignor in replacement of the assignor’s then-existing Note (each, a “Replacement Note”). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.5(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.5(d). For purposes of clarification and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, if Borrower’s expenses relating to a Replacement Note exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), such expenses exceeding Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) shall be borne by the Lender or Lenders receiving replacement notes pro rata in accordance with such Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares.
(c) Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, and the Commitments of, and the principal amount (and stated interest) of each
Page 55



Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice.
(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time (at no cost, expense, or liability to Borrowers, other than de minimis costs or expenses), without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender, Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of Borrower or Guarantor) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or its Pro Rata Share of the Loan owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 8.7 without regard to the existence of any participation.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the second proviso of Section 9.9 that affects such Participant. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.1 and 2.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.5(b) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.1(e) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.5(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.7 and 9.12 as if it were an assignee under Section 9.5(b) and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.1 or 2.5, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at Borrower’s written request, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.7 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.7 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.8 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amount (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s
Page 56



interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
9.6 Confidentiality. Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.6 (or another confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Borrower), to (i) any assignee of or participant in, pledgee of or assignee of a security interest in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, or pledgee of or assignee of a security interest in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any Swap Transaction or credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of Borrower or Guarantor; (g) with the consent of Borrower; or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.6 or (ii) becomes available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower. For the purposes of this Section 9.6, “Information” means all information received from Borrower or Guarantor relating to Borrower or Guarantor or their business, other than any such information that is available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower or Guarantor; provided that in the case of information received from Borrower or Guarantor after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified in writing at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.6 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Administrative Agent and Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and information
Page 57



about this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to Administrative Agent and Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the Loan and Loan Documents.
9.7 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, Administrative Agent and, with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, each Lender, is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior written notice to Borrower, any such notice being waived by Borrower, to set-off and apply any and all deposits, general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, any time owing by Administrative Agent or Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or for the credit or the account of such parties to the Loan Documents against any and all Indebtedness, irrespective of whether or not Administrative Agent or Lenders shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Indebtedness may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable depositor indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower and Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application.
9.8 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the portions of the Loan advanced by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the portions of the Loan made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such portions of the Loan or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered without further interest thereon. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, exercise all of its rights of payment (including the right of set-off), but subject to Section 9.7 with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation. Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 9.8 and will in each case notify Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 9.8 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

Page 58



9.9 Amendments; Survival. Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to amend (whether pursuant to a separate intercreditor agreement or otherwise) any of the terms, conditions or agreements set forth in Article 8 or as to any other matter in the Loan Documents respecting payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders or the required number of Lenders to approve or disapprove any matter or to take or refrain from taking any action, without the consent of Borrower or any other Person or the execution by Borrower or any other Person of any such amendment or intercreditor agreement. Subject to the foregoing, Administrative Agent may amend or waive any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure by any party to the Loan Documents therefrom which amendment, waiver or consent is intended to be within Administrative Agent’s discretion or determination, or otherwise in Administrative Agent’s reasonable determination shall not have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that otherwise no such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective unless in writing, signed by the Required Lenders and Borrower or the applicable party to the Loan Documents, as the case may be, and acknowledged by Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; and provided, further, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:
(a) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 7.2), without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of a Default shall not constitute an extension or increase in any Lender’s Commitment);
(b) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;
(c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any portion of the Loan, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, however, that Administrative Agent may waive any obligation of Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate and/or late charges for periods of up to thirty (30) days, and only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate or late charges thereafter, or to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or “late charges”;
(d) change the percentage of the combined Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loan which is required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender;
(e) change the definition of “Pro Rata Share” or “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender;
(f) amend this Section 9.9, or Section 9.8, without the written consent of each Lender;
Page 59



(g) permit the sale, transfer, pledge, mortgage or assignment of any Collateral or any direct or indirect interest in Borrower, except as expressly permitted under the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender;
(h) transfer or release any lien on, or after foreclosure or other acquisition of title by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders transfer or sell, any Collateral except as permitted in Section 8.10, without the prior written consent of each Lender; or
(i) release the liability of Borrower or any existing Guarantor without the written consent of each Lender, except as may be expressly provided pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;
and provided, further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Indebtedness is paid in full and all of Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ obligations under this Agreement are terminated; and all representations and warranties and all provisions herein for indemnity of the Indemnitees, Administrative Agent and Lenders (and any other provisions herein specified to survive) shall survive the resignation or removal of Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Lender, the termination of the Commitments, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
9.10 Several Obligations; No Liability; No Release. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (a) the obligations of Lenders hereunder to make Loan advances and to make payments pursuant to Sections 8.7 and 8.12 are several and not joint and (b) such obligations are and shall remain the several, and not joint, obligations of Lenders despite that certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of Lenders. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan advance or to make any payment under Section 8.7 or 8.12 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan advance or to make its payment under Section 8.7 or 8.12. Except as may be specifically provided in this Agreement, no Lender shall have any liability for the acts of any other Lender. No Lender shall be responsible to Borrower or any other Person to take any action on behalf of another Lender hereunder or in connection
Page 60



with the financing contemplated herein. In furtherance of the foregoing, Lenders shall comply with their obligations under the Loan Documents, including the obligations to make payments pursuant to Sections 8.7 and 8.12 regardless of (i) the occurrence of any Default hereunder or under any Loan Document; (ii) any failure of consideration, absence of consideration, misrepresentation, fraud, or any other event, failure, deficiency, breach or irregularity of any nature whatsoever in the Loan Documents; or (iii) any bankruptcy, insolvency or other like event with regard to Borrower or Guarantor. Such obligations of Lenders are in all regards independent of any claims between Administrative Agent and any Lender.
9.11 [Intentionally Omitted.]
9.12 Replacement of Lenders. If Borrower is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.7, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.5), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.5) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(a) Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 9.5(b) and the other conditions set forth in Section 9.5(b) shall have been satisfied;
(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the Principal Debt owing to it, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.5) from the assignee (to the extent of such Principal Debt and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in case of all other amounts);
(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.5 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.1, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and
(e) in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
9.13 Further Assurances. Borrower will, upon Administrative Agent’s request, (a) promptly correct any defect, error or omission in any Loan Document; (b) execute, acknowledge, deliver, procure, record or file such further instruments and do such further acts as
Page 61



Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary, reasonably desirable or reasonably proper to carry out the purposes of the Loan Documents and to identify and subject to the liens and security interest of the Loan Documents any property intended to be covered thereby, including any renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements, or appurtenances to the Property; (c) execute, acknowledge, deliver, procure, file or record any document or instrument Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary, desirable, or proper to protect the liens or the security interest under the Loan Documents against the rights or interests of third persons; and (d) provide such certificates, documents, reports, information, affidavits and other instruments and do such further acts deemed reasonably necessary, reasonably desirable or reasonably proper by Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with the requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent or such Lender. In addition, at any time, and from time to time, upon written request by Administrative Agent or, subject to the provisions of Section 4.8(f), any Lender, Borrower will, at Borrower’s expense, provide any and all further instruments, certificates and other documents as may, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent or such Lender, be reasonably necessary or reasonably desirable in order to verify Borrower’s identity and background in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent or such Lender.
9.14 Inducement to Lenders. The representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (a) are made to induce Lenders to make the Loan and extend any other credit to or for the account of Borrower pursuant hereto, and Administrative Agent and Lenders are relying thereon, and will continue to rely thereon, and (b) shall survive any foreclosure, any conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, or any proceedings under any Debtor Relief Law involving Borrower, Guarantor or the Property.
9.15 Forum. Borrower hereby irrevocably submits generally and unconditionally for itself and in respect of its property to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any state court, or any United States federal court, sitting in the State specified in Section 9.2 of this Agreement and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any state court or any United States federal court, sitting in the state in which the Property is located, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Obligations. Borrower hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any such court and any claim that any such court is an inconvenient forum. Borrower hereby agrees and consents that, in addition to any methods of service of process provided for under applicable Law, all service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding in any state court, or any United States federal court, sitting in the state specified in Section 9.2 may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, directed to such party at its address for notice stated in the Loan Documents, or at a subsequent address of which Administrative Agent received actual notice from Borrower in accordance with the Loan Documents, and service so made shall be complete five (5) days after the same shall have been so mailed. Nothing herein shall affect the right of Administrative Agent to serve process in any manner permitted by Law or limit the right of Administrative Agent to bring proceedings against any party in any other court or jurisdiction.
9.16 Interpretation. References to Articles, Sections, and Exhibits are, unless specified otherwise, references to articles, sections and exhibits of this Agreement. Captions and headings in the Loan Documents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of the Loan
Page 62



Documents. All references (a) to the Loan Documents are to the same as extended, amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time unless expressly indicated otherwise, and (b) to the Land, the Improvements or the Property shall mean all or any portion of each of the foregoing, respectively. References to “Dollars,” “$,” “money,” “payments” or other similar financial or monetary terms are references to lawful money of the United States of America. Words of any gender shall include each other gender. Words in the singular shall include the plural and words in the plural shall include the singular. References to Borrower or Guarantor shall mean, each Person comprising same, jointly and severally. The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and other similar compounds of the word “here” shall refer to this entire Agreement (including the attached exhibits) and not to any particular Article, Section, paragraph or provision. The terms “agree” and “agreements” mean and include “covenant” and “covenants”. The words “include” and “including” shall be interpreted as if followed by the words “without limitation”.
9.17 No Partnership, etc. The relationship between Lenders (including Administrative Agent) and Borrower is solely that of lender and borrower. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary or other special relationship with or duty to Borrower and none is created by the Loan Documents. Nothing contained in the Loan Documents, and no action taken or omitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, is intended or shall be construed to create any partnership, joint venture, association, or special relationship between Borrower and Administrative Agent or any Lender or in any way make Administrative Agent or any Lender a co-principal with Borrower with reference to the Property or otherwise. In no event shall Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ rights and interests under the Loan Documents be construed to give Administrative Agent or any Lender the right to control, or be deemed to indicate that Administrative Agent or any Lender is in control of, the business, properties, management or operations of Borrower.
9.18 Commercial Purpose. Borrower warrants that the Loan is being made solely to acquire or carry on a business or commercial enterprise, and/or Borrower is a business or commercial organization. Borrower further warrants that all of the proceeds of the Loan shall be used for commercial purposes and stipulates that the Loan shall be construed for all purposes as a commercial loan, and is made for other than personal, family, household or agricultural purposes.
9.19 Usury. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders at all times to comply with applicable state Law or applicable United States federal Law (to the extent that it permits a Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve, or receive a greater amount of interest than under state Law) and that this Section 9.19 shall control every other covenant and agreement in this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents. If applicable state or federal Law should at any time be judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under any of the Loan Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to the Loan, or if Administrative Agent’s exercise of the option to accelerate the Maturity Date, or if any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower’s having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable Law, then it is Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be credited on the Principal Debt and all other Indebtedness or returned to the relevant Borrowers if all of the Indebtedness has been paid
Page 63



and the provisions of the Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to comply with the applicable Law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lenders for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
9.20 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING OR ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, THE DEED OF TRUST, OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY: (a) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT, OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (b) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER AND THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION WERE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES ENTERING INTO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS; (c) CERTIFIES THAT THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY, AND VOLUNTARILY MADE; (d) AGREES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL CLAIMS AGAINST ALL PARTIES TO SUCH PROCEEDING OR ACTION, INCLUDING CLAIMS AGAINST PARTIES WHO ARE NOT PARTIES TO THIS OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT, AND FURTHER AGREES THAT SUCH PARTY SHALL NOT SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH PROCEEDING OR ACTION WITH ANY OTHER PROCEEDING OR ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED; (e) AGREES THAT BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDER ARE EACH HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION IN ANY PROCEEDING OR ACTION AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; AND (f) REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, OR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH COUNSEL.
9.21 Service of Process. Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Todd Smith as Borrower’s authorized agent to accept and acknowledge on Borrower’s behalf service of any and all process that may be served in any suit, action, or proceeding instituted in connection with the Loan in any state or federal court sitting in the State of Colorado. If such agent shall cease so to act, Borrower shall irrevocably designate and appoint without delay
Page 64



another such agent reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent evidence in writing of such agent’s acceptance of such appointment and its agreement that such appointment shall be irrevocable.
Borrower hereby consents to process being served in any suit, action, or proceeding instituted in connection with the Loan by (a) the mailing of a copy thereof by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to Borrower and (b) serving a copy thereof upon the agent hereinabove designated and appointed by Borrower as Borrower’s agent for service of process. Borrower irrevocably agrees that such service shall be deemed to be service of process upon Borrower in any such suit, action, or proceeding. Nothing herein or in any other Loan Document shall (i) affect the right of Administrative Agent to serve process in any manner otherwise permitted by Law or (b) limit the right of Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders otherwise to bring proceedings against Borrower in the courts of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions.
9.22 No Delays; Defaults. No delay or omission of Administrative Agent or Lenders to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon the happening of a Default shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or any acquiescence therein. No delay or omission on the part of Administrative Agent or Lenders to exercise any option for acceleration of the maturity of the Indebtedness, or for foreclosure of the Deed of Trust following any Default as aforesaid, or any other option granted to Administrative Agent and Lenders hereunder in any one or more instances, or the acceptances by Administrative Agent or Lenders of any partial payment on account of the Obligations, shall constitute a waiver of any such Default, and each such option shall remain continuously in full force and effect. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Administrative Agent and/or Lenders is intended to be exclusive of any other remedies provided for in any Note or any of the other Loan Documents, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder, or under any Note or any of the other Loan Documents, or now or hereafter existing at Law or in equity or by statute. Every right, power and remedy given to Administrative Agent and Lenders by this Agreement, any Note or any of the other Loan Documents shall be concurrent, and may be pursued separately, successively or together against Borrower, Guarantor, any other Person liable for any part of the Obligations, the Property, or any other Collateral, and every right, power and remedy given by this Agreement, any Note or any of the other Loan Documents may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient by the Required Lenders. No application of payments will cure any Default, or prevent acceleration, or continued acceleration, of amounts payable under the Loan Documents, or prevent the exercise, or continued exercise, of rights or remedies of Administrative Agent and Lenders hereunder or thereunder or at Law or in equity.
9.23 USA PATRIOT Act; Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act (as hereinafter defined) and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notify Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”) and 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230 (the “Beneficial Ownership Regulation”), they are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower, a Beneficial Ownership Certification, and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower in accordance with the
Page 65



PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation. Borrower shall, promptly following a written request by Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that Administrative Agent or such Lender reasonably requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.
9.24 Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding and agreement between and among Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to the transactions arising in connection with the Loan, and supersede all prior written or oral understandings and agreements between and among Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to the matters addressed in the Loan Documents.

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guaranty, deed of trust, mortgage, or otherwise, for any Swap Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

PROMISSORY NOTE
$______________________      _______________, _____
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, KBSII Granite Tower, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of _____________________ (“Lender”), as one of the lenders under that certain Loan Agreement (collectively, the “Lenders”), dated as of August 30, 2019, by and among Borrower, the lenders from time to time a party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., a national banking association (together with any and all of its successors and assigns, in such capacity, “Administrative Agent”) as administrative agent for the benefit of the lenders (as the same may be amended or modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), without offset, in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America, at the Administrative Agent’s Office as defined in the Loan Agreement, the principal sum of _______________________________________ DOLLARS ($_______________________) (or the unpaid balance of all principal advanced against this Note, if that amount is less), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note from day to day outstanding as hereinafter provided. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.
1. Note; Interest; Payment Schedule. This Note (as may be amended, modified, supplemented, restated and replaced from time to time, this “Note”) is one of the Notes referred to in the Loan Agreement and is entitled to the benefits thereof and subject to prepayment in whole or in part as provided therein. The entire principal balance of this Note then unpaid shall be due and payable at the times as set forth in the Loan Agreement. Accrued unpaid interest shall be due and payable at the times and at the interest rate as set forth in the Loan Agreement until all principal and accrued interest owing on this Note shall have been fully paid and satisfied. Any amount not paid when due and payable hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, bear interest and if applicable a late charge as set forth in the Loan Agreement.
2. Security; Loan Documents. The security for this Note includes the Deed of Trust (as defined in the Loan Agreement). This Note, the Deed of Trust, the Loan Agreement and all other documents now or hereafter securing, guaranteeing or executed in connection with the loan evidenced, in whole or in part, by this Note (the “Loan”), are, as the same have been or may be amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, herein sometimes called individually a “Loan Document” and together the “Loan Documents.”
3. Defaults.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender and the other Lenders shall have the right to declare the unpaid principal balance and accrued but unpaid interest on this Note, and all other amounts due hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, at once due and payable (and upon such declaration, the same shall be at once due and payable), to foreclose any liens and security interests securing payment hereof and to exercise any of its other rights, powers and remedies under this Note, under any other Loan Document, or at Law or in equity.
F-1


(b) All of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges (together, “Rights”) of Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender and the other Lenders provided for in this Note and in any other Loan Document are cumulative of each other and of any and all other Rights at Law or in equity. The resort to any Right shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent employment of any other appropriate Right. No single or partial exercise of any Right shall exhaust it or preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every Right may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No failure by Administrative Agent, Lender and the other Lenders to exercise, and no delay in exercising any Right, including, but not limited to, the right to accelerate the maturity of this Note, shall be construed as a waiver of any Default or as a waiver of any Right. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions, the acceptance by the holder hereof from time to time of any payment under this Note which is past due or which is less than the payment in full of all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment, shall not (i) constitute a waiver of or impair or extinguish the right of Administrative Agent, Lender and the other Lenders to accelerate the maturity of this Note or to exercise any other Right at the time or at any subsequent time, or nullify any prior exercise of any such Right, (ii) constitute a waiver of the requirement of punctual payment and performance or a novation in any respect, or (iii) in any way excuse the existence of a Default.
(c) If Borrower sues any holder in connection with this Note or any other Loan Document and does not prevail, then Borrower agrees to pay to each such holder to the extent required under Section 4.15 of the Loan Agreement, in addition to principal, interest and any other sums owing to Administrative Agent, Lender and the other Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, all costs and expenses incurred by such holder in any such suit or proceeding, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, investigation costs and all court costs.
4. Heirs, Successors and Assigns. The terms of this Note and of the other Loan Documents shall bind and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns permitted by the Loan Agreement. The foregoing sentence shall not be construed to permit Borrower to assign the Loan except as otherwise permitted under the Loan Agreement. As further provided in the Loan Agreement, Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer, or assign all or a portion of its interest in this Note, the Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, as set forth in the Loan Agreement.
5. General Provisions. Time is of the essence with respect to Borrower’s obligations under this Note. If more than one Person executes this Note as “Borrower”, all of said parties shall be jointly and severally liable for payment of the indebtedness evidenced hereby. Borrower and all sureties, endorsers, guarantors and any other party now or hereafter liable for the payment of this Note in whole or in part, hereby severally (a) waive demand, presentment for payment, notice of dishonor and of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration and all other notices (except any notices which are specifically required by this Note or any other Loan Document), filing of suit and diligence in collecting this Note or enforcing any of the security herefor; (b) agree to any substitution, subordination, exchange or release of any such security or the release of any party primarily or secondarily liable hereon; (c) agree that neither Administrative Agent, Lender nor any other Lender shall be required first to institute suit or exhaust its remedies hereon against Borrower or others liable or to become liable hereon or to perfect or enforce its rights against them or any security herefor; (d) consent to any extensions or postponements of time of payment of this Note for any period or periods of
F-2


time and to any partial payments, before or after maturity, and to any other indulgences with respect hereto, without notice thereof to any of them; (e) waive the benefit of all homestead and similar exemptions as to this Note; (f) agree that their liability under this Note shall not be affected or impaired by any determination that any security interest or lien given to secure this Note is invalid or unperfected; and (g) hereby subordinate any and all rights against Borrower and any of the security for the payment of this Note, whether by subrogation, agreement or otherwise, until this Note is paid in full. A determination that any provision of this Note is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision and the determination that the application of any provision of this Note to any Person or circumstance is illegal or unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to other Persons or circumstances. This Note may not be amended except in a writing specifically intended for such purpose and executed by the party against whom enforcement of the amendment is sought. Captions and headings in this Note are for convenience only and shall be disregarded in construing it. The words “include” and “including” shall be interpreted as if followed by the words “without limitation.” THIS NOTE, AND ITS VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY COLORADO LAW (WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES) AND APPLICABLE UNITED STATES FEDERAL LAW.
6. Notices. Any notice, request, or demand to or upon Borrower or the holder hereof shall be deemed to have been properly given or made when delivered in accordance with the Loan Agreement.
7. No Usury. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower, Administrative Agent and all Lenders at all times to comply with applicable state Law or applicable United States federal Law (to the extent that it permits a Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve, or receive a greater amount of interest than under state Law) and that this Section shall control every other covenant and agreement in this Note and the other Loan Documents. If applicable state or federal Law should at any time be judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to the Loan, or if Administrative Agent’s exercise of the option to accelerate the Maturity Date, or if any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower’s having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable Law, then it is Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of this Note and all other indebtedness and the provisions of this Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to comply with the applicable Law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lenders for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

EXHIBIT “H”

SWAP CONTRACTS
1. Swap Documentation. If Borrower elects to enter into a Swap Contract, within the timeframes required by Administrative Agent and Swap Counterparty, Borrower shall deliver to Swap Counterparty the following documents and other items, executed and acknowledged as appropriate, all in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Swap Counterparty: (a) Master Agreement in the form published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. and related schedule in the form agreed upon between Borrower and Swap Counterparty; (b) a confirmation under the foregoing, if applicable; (c) if Borrower is anything other than a natural Person, evidence of due authorization to enter into transactions under the foregoing Swap Contract with Swap Counterparty, together with evidence of due authorization and execution of any Swap Contract; and (d) such other title endorsements, documents, instruments, opinions and agreements as Administrative Agent and Swap Counterparty may require to evidence satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 1.
2. Conveyance and Security Interest. To secure the Obligations, Borrower hereby assigns and transfers to Administrative Agent, and grants to Administrative Agent a security interest in, all of Borrower’s right, title and interest, but not its obligations, duties or liabilities for any breach, in, under and to the Swap Contract, any and all amounts received by Borrower in connection therewith or to which Borrower is entitled thereunder, and all proceeds of the foregoing. All amounts payable to any Borrower under the Swap Contract in which Administrative Agent is the Swap Counterparty shall be credited to Borrower’s Checking Account (or other account designated by Borrower) in accordance with clause (e) of Paragraph 6, below (except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, in which event Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to credit the same.
3. Cross-Default. It shall be a Default under this Agreement if any Event of Default occurs as defined under any Swap Contract as to which Borrower is the Defaulting Party, and the same is not cured, or any amounts payable with respect to such Event of Default are not paid, within thirty (30) days after notice of such Event of Default has been delivered to Borrower. As used in this Section, the term “Defaulting Party” has the meanings ascribed to it in the Swap Contract.
4. Remedies; Cure Rights. In addition to any and all other remedies to which Administrative Agent, Lenders and Swap Counterparty are entitled at law or in equity, Swap Counterparty shall have the right, to the extent so provided in any Swap Contract or any Master Agreement relating thereto, (a) to declare an event of default, termination event or other similar event thereunder and to designate an Early Termination Date as defined under the Master Agreement, and (b) to determine net termination amounts in accordance with the Swap Contract and to setoff amounts between Swap Contracts. Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time (but shall have no obligation) to take in its name or in the name of Borrower such action as Administrative Agent may at any time determine to be necessary or advisable to cure any default under any Swap Contract or to protect the rights of Borrower or Swap Counterparty thereunder; provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall give prior written notice to the applicable Borrower before taking any such action. For this purpose, Borrower hereby constitutes
H-1


Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, which power of attorney is coupled with an interest and irrevocable, to exercise, at the election of Administrative Agent, any and all rights and remedies of Borrower under the Swap Contract, including making any payments thereunder and consummating any transactions contemplated thereby, and to take any action that Administrative Agent may deem proper in order to collect, assert or enforce any claim, right or title, in and to the Swap Contract hereby assigned and conveyed, and generally to take any and all such action in relation thereto as Administrative Agent shall deem advisable. Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability if any action so taken by Administrative Agent or on its behalf shall prove to be inadequate or invalid. Borrower expressly understands and agrees that Administrative Agent is not hereby assuming any duties or obligations of Borrower to make payments to Swap Counterparty under any Swap Contract or under any other Loan Document. Such payment duties and obligations remain the responsibility of the applicable Borrower notwithstanding any language in this Agreement.
(1) Miscellaneous Covenants.
(a) Borrower shall, upon entering into any Swap Contract, pay all sums required to be paid by Borrower thereunder.
(b) No Swap Contract shall alter, impair, restrict, limit or modify in any respect the obligation of Borrower to pay interest or other sums due under the Loan Documents, as and when the same become due and payable.
(1) Automatic Deduction and Credit.
(c) At all times when any Swap Contract is in effect, Borrower shall maintain in good standing with Administrative Agent or another financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent an account (the “Checking Account”) designated by Borrower.
(d) At all times when any Swap Contract is in effect, all monthly payments owed by Borrower under the Agreement will be automatically deducted on their due dates from the Checking Account. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to apply the amounts so debited to Borrower’s obligations under the Loan. Borrower hereby agrees to direct any financial institution where the Checking Account is maintained to allow Administrative Agent to debit the Checking Account as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent will not automatically deduct the principal payment at maturity from the Checking Account (or any other account designated by Borrower).
(e) At all times when any Swap Contract is in effect in which Administrative Agent is the Swap Counterparty, all payments owed by Borrower under any Swap Contract will be automatically deducted on their due dates from the Checking Account (or any other account designated by Borrower). The preceding sentence includes Borrower’s authorization for Administrative Agent to debit from the Checking Account (or any other account designated by Borrower) any monetary obligation owed by Borrower to Swap Counterparty following any Early Termination Date, as defined under the Master Agreement. Swap Counterparty is hereby authorized to apply the amounts so debited to the obligations of Borrower under the applicable Swap Contract.
H-2


(f) Borrower shall maintain sufficient funds on the dates when Administrative Agent enters debits authorized by this Agreement. If there are insufficient funds in the Checking Account on any date when Administrative Agent enters any debit authorized by this Agreement, without limiting Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ other rights and remedies in such an event, the debit will be reversed in whole or in part, in Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion, and such amount not debited shall be deemed to be unpaid and shall be immediately due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Swap Contract, as applicable.
(g) So long as there is no Default existing under this Agreement or any Swap Contract, and provided Administrative Agent is the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Contract, Administrative Agent will automatically credit the Checking Account (or any other account designated by Borrower) for payments owed by Swap Counterparty under the Swap Contract. (i) Administrative Agent will credit the Checking Account (or any other account designated by Borrower) on the dates the foregoing payments become due, and (ii) Administrative Agent will debit the Checking Account (or any other account designated by Borrower) for any payments owed by Borrower to the Swap Counterparty on the dates the foregoing payments become due; provided, however, that if a due date does not fall on a Business Day, Administrative Agent will credit (or debit as applicable) the Checking Account (or any other account designated by Borrower) on the first Business Day following such due date.

Article II
Granting Clauses; Condition of Grant.
Section 2.1 Conveyances and Security Interests.
The aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Obligations outstanding at any particular time (after having given effect to all advances and all repayments made prior to such time) which is secured by this Deed of Trust shall not aggregate in excess of $145,000,000.00 (the "Total Maximum Principal Amount"). The Total Maximum Principal Amount does not in any way imply that Lenders are obligated to make any future advances to Grantor at any time unless specifically so provided in the Loan Documents. In order to secure the prompt payment and performance of the Obligations, Grantor (a) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally grants, conveys, transfers and assigns the Real Property unto Trustee, IN TRUST, for the benefit of Beneficiary, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, with power of sale and right of entry and possession, all estate, right, title and interest that Grantor now has or may later acquire in and to the Real Property; (b) grants to Beneficiary, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, a security interest in the Personalty; (c) assigns to Beneficiary, and grants to Beneficiary, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, a security interest in, all Condemnation Awards and all Insurance Proceeds; and (d) assigns to Beneficiary, and grants to Beneficiary, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, a security interest in, all of Grantor's right, title and interest in, but not any of Grantor's obligations or liabilities under, all Design and Construction Documents, all Contracts of Sale and all Refinancing Commitments. All Persons who may have or acquire an interest in all or any part of the Property will be deemed to have notice of, and will be bound by, the terms of the Obligations and each other agreement or instrument made or entered into in connection with each of the Obligations. Such terms include any provisions in the Note, the Loan Agreement or any Swap Contract which provide that the interest rate on one or more of the Obligations may vary from time to time. Grantor agrees and acknowledges that Lenders may elect (without any obligation to do so) to make additional advances under the terms of the Notes or otherwise, and that any such future advances shall be subject to, and secured by, this Deed of Trust.
Section 2.2 Absolute Assignment of Leases and Rents.
In consideration of the making of the Loan by Lenders to Grantor and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Grantor assigns the Leases and Rents to Beneficiary, for the ratable benefit of Lenders. This assignment is, and is intended to be, an unconditional, absolute and present assignment from Grantor to Beneficiary of all of Grantor's right, title and interest in and to the Leases and the Rents and not an assignment in the nature of a pledge of the Leases and Rents or the mere grant of a security interest therein. So long as no Event of Default shall exist, however, Grantor shall have a license (which license shall terminate automatically and without notice upon the occurrence of an Event of Default) to collect, but not prior to accrual, all Rents. Grantor agrees to collect and hold all Rents in trust for Beneficiary and to use the Rents for the payment of the cost of operating and maintaining the Property and for the payment of the other Obligations before using the Rents for any other purpose. Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall be construed to constitute Lenders as "mortgagees-in-possession" in the absence of their taking actual possession of the Property pursuant to the powers granted herein or in any other Loan Document or to impose any liability or obligation on Lenders under or with respect to the Leases.

-8-



Section 2.3 Security Agreement, Fixture Filing and Financing Statement.
This Deed of Trust creates a security interest in the Personalty, and, to the extent the Personalty is not real property, this Deed of Trust constitutes a security agreement from Grantor to Beneficiary, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Documents to the contrary, this Deed of Trust does not grant to Beneficiary a security interest in any Movable Personal Property. In addition to all of its other rights under this Deed of Trust and otherwise, Beneficiary shall have all of the rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State, as in effect from time to time, or under the Uniform Commercial Code in force from time to time in any other state to the extent the same is applicable Law. This Deed of Trust shall be effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing with respect to all fixtures included within the Property and is to be filed for record in the real estate records of each county where any part of the Property (including such fixtures) is situated. This Deed of Trust shall also be effective as a financing statement with respect to any other Property as to which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement and may be filed as such in any appropriate filing or recording office. The respective mailing addresses of Grantor and Beneficiary are set forth in the opening paragraph of this Deed of Trust. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Deed of Trust or any other financing statement relating to this Deed of Trust shall be sufficient as a financing statement for any of the purposes referred to in this Section. Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes Beneficiary at any time and from time to time to file any initial financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements as authorized by applicable Law, reasonably required by Beneficiary to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests granted in this Deed of Trust. The foregoing authorization includes Grantor's irrevocable authorization for Beneficiary at any time and from time to time to file any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that indicate the Personalty (a) as "all assets" of Grantor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Personalty falls within the scope of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or the jurisdiction where the initial financing statement or amendment is filed, or (b) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail.
Section 2.4 Release of Deed of Trust and Termination of Assignments and Financing Statements.
If and when Grantor has paid and performed all of the Obligations, and no further advances are to be made under the Loan Agreement, Beneficiary will promptly provide a release of the Property from the lien of this Deed of Trust and termination statements for filed financing statements, if any, to Grantor. Grantor shall be responsible for the recordation of such release and the payment of any recording and filing costs. Upon the recording of such release and the filing of such termination statements, the absolute assignments set forth in Section 2.2 shall automatically terminate and become null and void.

(c)No approval of any Lease by Beneficiary shall be for any purpose other than to protect Beneficiary's security and to preserve Beneficiary's rights under the Loan Documents, and no such approval shall result in a waiver of a Default or Event of Default.

Section 7.5 Collection of Rents.
Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the license granted to Grantor to collect the Rents shall be automatically and immediately revoked, without further notice to or demand upon Grantor. Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, perform any or all obligations of the landlord under any or all of the Leases, and Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, exercise and enforce any or all of Grantor's rights under the Leases. Without limitation to the generality of the foregoing, Beneficiary may, upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, notify the tenants under the Leases that all Rents are to be paid to Beneficiary, and following such notice all Rents shall be paid directly to Beneficiary and not to Grantor or any other Person other than as directed by Beneficiary, it being understood that a demand by Beneficiary on any tenant under the Leases for the payment of Rent shall be sufficient to warrant payment by such tenant of Rent to Beneficiary without the necessity of further consent by Grantor.

Section 7.6 Taking Possession or Control of the Property.
Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, as a matter of right without bond and without regard to the adequacy of the security, and to the extent permitted by Law without notice to Grantor, Beneficiary shall be entitled, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, to the immediate appointment of a receiver by ex parte application, the right to such notice being expressly waived, for all or any part of the Property and the Rents, whether such receivership may be incidental to a proposed sale of the Property or otherwise, and Grantor hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver and agrees that such receiver shall have all of the rights and powers granted to Beneficiary pursuant to Section 7.5. In addition, upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default to the extent permitted by Law, and with or without the appointment of a receiver, or an application therefor, Beneficiary may (a) enter upon, and take possession of (and Grantor shall surrender actual possession of), the Property or any part thereof: without notice to Grantor and without bringing any legal action or proceeding, or, if necessary by force, legal proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and (b) remove and exclude Grantor and its agents and employees therefrom.

Beneficiary or such receiver shall be under no liability for, or by reason of, any such taking of possession, entry, holding, removal, maintaining, operation or management, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct. The exercise of the remedies provided in this Section shall not cure or waive any Event of Default, and the enforcement of such remedies, once commenced, shall continue for so long as Beneficiary shall elect, notwithstanding the fact that the exercise of such remedies may have, for a time, cured the original Event of Default.
Section 7.8 Uniform Commercial Code.
Beneficiary may proceed under the Uniform Commercial Code as to all or any part of the Personalty, and in conjunction therewith may exercise all of the rights, remedies and powers of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Grantor shall assemble all of the Accessories and make the same available within the Improvements. Any notification required by the Uniform Commercial Code shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if sent in accordance with the Notice provisions of this Deed of Trust at least ten (10) days before any sale or other disposition of the Personalty. Disposition of the Personalty shall be deemed commercially reasonable if made pursuant to a public sale advertised at least twice in a newspaper of general circulation in the community where the Property is located. It shall be deemed commercially reasonable for Beneficiary to dispose of the Personalty without giving any warranties as to the Personalty and specifically disclaiming all disposition warranties. Alternatively, Beneficiary may choose to dispose of some or all of the Property, in any combination consisting of both Personalty and Real Property, in one sale to be held in accordance with the Law and procedures applicable to real property, as permitted by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Grantor agrees that such a sale of Personalty together with Real Property constitutes a commercially reasonable sale of the Personalty.
Section 7.9 Application of Proceeds.
Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, all proceeds from the sale of the Property or any part thereof pursuant to the rights and remedies set forth in this Article VII and any other proceeds received by Beneficiary from the exercise of any of its other rights and remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be applied first to pay all Expenses and next in reduction of the other Obligations (all with interest at the rate per annum provided in the Loan Agreement for interest on past due principal owed on the Note, but never in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount permitted by applicable Law, and all such amounts, together with such interest thereon, shall automatically and without notice be a part of the Obligations), in such manner and order as Beneficiary may elect.

Section 9.1 Rights, Powers and Remedies Cumulative.
This Deed of Trust is a deed of trust and mortgage, and each right, power and remedy of Beneficiary as provided for in this Deed of Trust, or in any of the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing by Law, shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power or remedy provided for in this Deed of Trust, or in any of the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing by Law, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Beneficiary of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Beneficiary of any or all such other rights, powers or remedies.

It is agreed that if Beneficiary should institute a suit for the collection of the Notes or any other secured indebtedness and for the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may at any time before the entry of a final judgment in said suit dismiss the same, and require Trustee, to sell the Property in accordance with the provisions of this Deed of Trust.
Section 9.2 No Waiver by Beneficiary.
No course of dealing or conduct by or among Beneficiary and Grantor shall be effective to amend, modify or change any provisions of this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents. No failure or delay by Beneficiary to insist upon the strict performance of any term, covenant or agreement of this Deed of Trust or of any of the other Loan Documents, or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such term, covenant or agreement or of any such breach, or preclude Beneficiary from exercising any such right, power or remedy at any later time or times. By accepting payment after the due date of any of the Obligations, Beneficiary shall not be deemed to waive the right either to require prompt payment when due of all other Obligations, or to declare an Event of Default for failure to make prompt payment of any such other Obligations. Neither Grantor nor any other Person now or hereafter obligated for the payment of the whole or any part of the Obligations shall be relieved of such liability by reason of (a) the failure of Beneficiary to comply with any request of Grantor or of any other Person to take action to foreclose this Deed of Trust or otherwise enforce any of the provisions of this Deed of Trust, or (b) any agreement or stipulation between any subsequent owner or owners of the Property and Beneficiary, or (c) Beneficiary's extending the time of payment or modifying the terms of this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents without first having obtained the consent of Grantor or such other Person. Regardless of consideration, and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate Lien on the Property, Beneficiary may release any Person at any time liable for any of the Obligations or any


-19-



part of the security for the Obligations and may extend the time of payment or otherwise modify the terms of this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents without in any way impairing or affecting the Lien of this Deed of Trust or the priority of this Deed of Trust over any subordinate Lien. The holder of any subordinate Lien shall have no right to terminate any Lease regardless of whether or not such Lease is subordinate to this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary may resort to the security or collateral described in this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents in such order and manner as Beneficiary may elect in its sole discretion.
Section 9.3 Waivers and Agreements Regarding Remedies.
To the fullest extent Grantor may do so, Grantor hereby:
(a)to the full extent permitted by Law, hereby voluntarily and knowingly waives its rights to reinstatement and redemption, and to the full extent permitted by Law, waives the benefits of all present and future valuation, appraisement, homestead, exemption, stay, extension or redemption, right to notice of election to accelerate the Obligations, and moratorium laws under any state or federal law;
(b)waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Grantor, including the Property, or to a sale in the inverse order of alienation in the event of a foreclosure of the Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any Law pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, the exemption of homestead, the administration of estates of decedents, or other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Beneficiary under the terms of this Deed of Trust to a sale of the Property without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Beneficiary to the payment of the Obligations out of the proceeds of sale of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever;
(c)waives any right to bring or utilize any defense, counterclaim or setoff, other than one which denies the existence or sufficiency of the facts upon which any foreclosure action is grounded. If any defense, counterclaim or setoff, other than one permitted by the preceding clause, is timely raised in a foreclosure action, such defense, counterclaim or setoff shall be dismissed. If such defense, counterclaim or setoff is based on a Claim which could be tried in an action for money damages, such Claim may be brought in a separate action which shall not thereafter be consolidated with the foreclosure action. The bringing of such separate action for money damages shall not be deemed to afford any grounds for staying the foreclosure action; and
(d)waives and relinquishes any and all rights and remedies which Grantor may have or be able to assert by reason of the provisions of any Laws pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties. This Section may not be changed orally and no obligation of the Grantor under this Section can be released or waived by Beneficiary except by a signed writing by an authorized officer of Beneficiary. Grantor hereby waives any rights it might have under C.R.S. §§ 13-50-102 and 103.
Section 9.4 Successors and Assigns.

Exhibit 10.6

Limited Payment Guaranty Agreement

This Limited Payment Guaranty Agreement (this “Guaranty”) is made as of the 30th day of August, 2019, by KBS REIT Properties II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Guarantor”), in favor of Bank of America, N.A., a national banking association, as administrative agent for Lenders as that term is defined below (collectively with its successors or assigns, in such capacity, “Administrative Agent”), and each of the Lenders.

Recitals

Administrative Agent and certain other lenders from time to time (each a “Lender” and collectively, “Lenders”), and KBSII Granite Tower, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), are entering into concurrently herewith that certain Loan Agreement dated as of the date hereof (herein called, as it may hereafter be modified, supplemented, restated, extended, or renewed and in effect from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), which Loan Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of a loan (the “Loan”) to Borrower.

A condition precedent to Lenders’ obligation to make the Loan to Borrower is Guarantor’s execution and delivery to Administrative Agent of this Guaranty.

The Loan will be evidenced by those certain Promissory Notes of even date herewith, each made by Borrower and payable to the order of a Lender, in the aggregate original face principal amount of One Hundred Forty-Five Million Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($145,000,000.00) (such notes, as they may hereafter be renewed, extended, supplemented, increased or modified and in effect from time to time, and all other notes given in substitution therefor, or in modification, renewal, or extension thereof, in whole or in part, are herein called the “Note”).

Any capitalized term used and not defined in this Guaranty shall have the meaning given to such term in the Loan Agreement. This Guaranty is one of the Loan Documents described in the Loan Agreement.

Agreements

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce Lenders to make the Loan to Borrower, Guarantor hereby guarantees to Administrative Agent and the Lenders the prompt and full payment and performance of the indebtedness and obligations described below in this Guaranty (collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”), this Guaranty being upon the following terms and conditions:

Section 1. Guaranty of Payment.

Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Administrative Agent and Lenders the punctual payment when due, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity, or otherwise, of (i) upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event (as hereinafter defined), all principal and interest (including interest accruing after maturity and after the commencement





of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding by or against Borrower, whether or not allowed in such proceeding) now or hereafter due and owing, or which Borrower is obligated to pay, pursuant to the terms of any Note, the Loan Agreement, the Deed of Trust, or any of the other Loan Documents, as the same may from time to time be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, and (ii) regardless of whether a Triggering Event shall have occurred, one hundred percent (100%) of all amounts owing under the Environmental Agreement by Borrower if (and only if) the Environmental Insurance Policy (as defined in and substantially and materially in the form approved by Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Agreement) is not then in place or, if not then in place, does not otherwise cover Borrower for claims relating to environmental matters when and if demand is made by Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Environmental Agreement (i.e., Guarantor shall have no liability under this Guaranty for, and the Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined) shall not include, amounts owing under the Environmental Agreement so long as the Environmental Insurance Policy is in place or otherwise covers the liability of Borrower for environmental matters at the time demand is made by Administrative Agent or a Lender to Borrower under the Environmental Agreement, whether or not the claim relating to any such environmental matter is a covered claim under such Environmental Insurance Policy) (the amounts described in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be referred to herein, collectively, as the “Indebtedness”). The Indebtedness shall also include all costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in seeking to enforce Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under this Guaranty, including court costs, costs of alternative dispute resolution and reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not suit is filed or other proceedings are initiated thereon. This Guaranty covers, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Guaranty, the Indebtedness presently outstanding and the Indebtedness arising subsequent to the date hereof, including all amounts advanced by Administrative Agent or Lenders in stages or installments. The guaranty of Guarantor as set forth in this Section 1 is a continuing guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of collection.

Section 2. Guaranty of Specific Obligations.

Guarantor also hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees payment of, and agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent and each Lender for, from and against, one hundred percent (100%) of any deficiency, loss or damage suffered by Administrative Agent or any Lender because of:

(a)The intentional misapplication or misappropriation by Borrower of any funds derived from the Property, including the misapplication or misappropriation by Borrower of rent, security deposits, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, or other income arising with respect to the Property;

(b)Borrower’s intentional commission of physical waste with respect to the
Property;

(c)The fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or Guarantor
made in or in connection with the Loan Documents or the Loan;

(d)Any voluntary transfer of the Property in violation of the terms of the Loan Documents; or

2



(e)Borrower’s voluntary filing of any proceeding for relief under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership laws or any assignment for the benefit of creditors made by Borrower, or the involuntary filing against Borrower by any member of Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof of any proceeding for relief under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership laws, and such proceeding is not dismissed within ninety (90) days of the filing thereof (a “Triggering Event”).

Section 3. Primary Liability of Guarantor.

(a)This Guaranty is an absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance, and Guarantor shall be liable for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations as a primary obligor. This Guaranty shall be effective as a waiver of, and Guarantor hereby expressly waives, any right to which Guarantor may otherwise have been entitled, whether existing under statute, at Law or in equity, to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to take prior recourse or proceedings against any collateral, security or Person. It shall not be necessary for Administrative Agent or any Lender, in order to enforce such payment or performance by Guarantor, first to institute suit or pursue or exhaust any rights or remedies against Borrower or other Person liable on such indebtedness or for such performance, or to enforce any rights against any security given to secure such indebtedness or performance, or to join Borrower or any other Person liable for the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof in any action to enforce this Guaranty, or to resort to any other means of obtaining payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall prevent Administrative Agent or any Lender from suing on any Note or foreclosing the Deed of Trust or exercising any other right under the Loan Documents.

(b)Suit may be brought or demand may be made against Borrower or against any or all parties who have signed this Guaranty or any other guaranty covering all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or against any one or more of them, separately or together, without impairing the rights of Administrative Agent or any Lender against any party hereto.

Section 4. Certain Agreements and Waivers by Guarantor.

(i)any limitation on the liability of, or recourse against, any other Person in any Loan Document or arising under any Law;
(ii)any claim or defense that this Guaranty was made without consideration or is not supported by adequate consideration or that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder exceed or are more burdensome than those of Borrower under the other Loan Documents;


3

(iv)the operation of any statutes of limitation or other Laws regarding the limitation of actions, all of which are hereby waived as a defense to any action or proceeding brought by Administrative Agent or any Lender against Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by Law;

(vi)any release, surrender, abandonment, exchange, alteration, sale or other disposition, subordination, deterioration, waste, failure to protect or preserve, impairment, or loss of, or any failure to create or perfect any lien or security interest with respect to, or any other dealings with, any collateral or security at any time existing or purported, believed or expected to exist in connection with any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any impairment of Guarantor’s recourse against any Person or collateral;

(ix)either with or without notice to or consent of Guarantor, any renewal, extension, modification, supplement, subordination or rearrangement of the terms of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations and/or any of the Loan Documents, including material alterations of the terms of payment (including changes in maturity date(s) and interest rate(s)) or performance (including changes with respect to the construction of the Improvements) or any other terms thereof, or any waiver, termination, or release of, or consent to departure from, any of the Loan Documents or any other guaranty of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance, or compromise that may be granted from time to time by Administrative Agent or Lenders to Borrower or any other Person at any time liable for the payment or performance of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(x)any neglect, lack of diligence, delay, omission, failure, or refusal of Administrative Agent or any Lender to take or prosecute (or in taking or prosecuting) any action for the collection or enforcement of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or to foreclose or take or prosecute any action to foreclose (or in foreclosing or taking or prosecuting any action to foreclose) upon any security therefor, or to exercise (or in exercising) any other right or power with respect to any security therefor, or to take or

4



prosecute (or in taking or prosecuting) any action in connection with any Loan Document, or any failure to sell or otherwise dispose of in a commercially reasonable manner any collateral securing any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(xi)any failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to notify Guarantor of any creation, renewal, extension, rearrangement, modification, supplement, subordination, or assignment of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or of any Loan Document, or of any release of or change in any security, or of the occurrence or existence of any Default or Potential Default, or of any other action taken or refrained from being taken by Administrative Agent or any Lender against Borrower or any security or other recourse, or of any new agreement between or among Administrative Agent, any Lender and Borrower, it being understood that Administrative Agent shall not be required to give Guarantor any notice of any kind under any circumstances with respect to or in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, any and all rights to notice Guarantor may have otherwise had being hereby waived by Guarantor, and Guarantor shall be responsible for obtaining for itself information regarding Borrower and any collateral, including any changes in the business or financial condition of Borrower or any collateral, and Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to notify Guarantor of any information which Administrative Agent or such Lender may have concerning Borrower or any collateral;
(xii)the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off or other right that Guarantor may at any time have against Borrower, Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any other Person, whether or not arising in connection with this Guaranty, any Note, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(xiii)the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations against Borrower, whether because the Guaranteed Obligations exceed the amount permitted by Law or violate any usury law, or because the Persons creating the Guaranteed Obligations acted in excess of their authority, or because of a lack of validity or enforceability of or defect or deficiency in any of the Loan Documents, or because Borrower has any valid defense, claim or offset with respect thereto, or because Borrower’s obligation ceases to exist by operation of Law, or because of any other reason or circumstance, it being agreed that Guarantor shall remain liable hereon regardless of whether Borrower or any other Person be found not liable on the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, for any reason (and regardless of any joinder of Borrower or any other party in any action to obtain payment or performance of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations);
(xiv)any order, ruling or plan of reorganization emanating from proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code with respect to Borrower or any other Person, including any extension, reduction, composition, or other alteration of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not consented to by Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent or any Lender in any such proceedings, including any election to have Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s claim allowed as being secured, partially secured or unsecured, any extension of credit by Administrative Agent or such Lender in any such proceedings or the taking and

5



holding by Administrative Agent or such Lender of any security for any such extension of credit;

(xv)any other condition, event, omission, action or inaction that would in the absence of this paragraph result in the release or discharge of Guarantor from the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Guaranty or any other agreement;
(xvi)any early termination of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(xvii)Administrative Agent or any Lender’s enforcement or forbearance from enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations on a net or gross basis.

(b)In the event any payment by Borrower or any other Person to Administrative Agent or any Lender is held to constitute a preference, fraudulent transfer or other voidable payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Law, or if for any other reason Administrative Agent or any Lender is required to refund such payment or pay the amount thereof to any other party, such payment by any Borrower or any other party to Administrative Agent or such Lender shall not constitute a release of Guarantor from any liability hereunder, and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated (notwithstanding any prior release, surrender or discharge by Administrative Agent of this Guaranty or of Guarantor), as the case may be, with respect to, and this Guaranty shall apply to, any and all amounts so refunded by Administrative Agent or any Lender or paid by Administrative Agent or any Lender to another Person (which amounts shall constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations), and any interest paid by Administrative Agent or any Lender and any attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses paid or incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with any such event.

(c)It is the intent of Guarantor, Administrative Agent and each Lender that the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances and that until the Guaranteed Obligations are fully and finally paid and performed, and not subject to refund or disgorgement, the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or released, in whole or in part, by any act or occurrence that might, but for the provisions of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge or release of a guarantor.

(d)Guarantor’s obligations shall not be affected, impaired, lessened or released by loans, credits or other financial accommodations now existing or hereafter advanced by Administrative Agent or any Lender to Borrower in excess of the Guaranteed Obligations. All payments, repayments and prepayments of the Loan, whether voluntary or involuntary, received by Administrative Agent or any Lender from Borrower, any other Person or any other source (other than from Guarantor pursuant to a demand by Administrative Agent hereunder), and any amounts realized from any collateral for the Loan, shall be deemed to be applied first to any portion of the Loan which is not covered by this Guaranty, and last to the Guaranteed Obligations, and this Guaranty shall bind Guarantor to the extent of any Guaranteed Obligations that may remain owing to Administrative Agent or any Lender. Administrative Agent shall have the right to apply any sums paid by Guarantor to any portion of the Loan in Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion.

6



(e)If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by Borrower under any Note, the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Document is stayed or delayed by any Law or tribunal, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by Guarantor on demand by Administrative Agent.

(f)This Guaranty may not be changed orally and no obligation of Guarantor can be released or waived by Administrative Agent except by a signed writing by an authorized officer of Administrative Agent.

(g)Guarantor hereby waives any rights it might have under C.R.S. §§ 13-50-102 and
103.

(h)[Intentionally Omitted.]

(i)Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by
Administrative Agent and Lenders, even though that election of remedies has destroyed Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against Borrower by operation of any applicable Law.

(j)Guarantor waives Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement, including any rights or defenses Guarantor may have by reason of protection afforded to Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the anti-deficiency or other Laws of Colorado limiting or discharging Borrower’s obligations.

(k)Guarantor waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, and all other suretyship defenses Guarantor would otherwise have under the Laws of California or any other jurisdiction.

(l)No provision or waiver in this Guaranty shall be construed as limiting the generality of any other provision or waiver contained in this Guaranty. All of the waivers contained herein are irrevocable and unconditional and are intentionally and freely made by Guarantor.

Section 5. Subordination.

If, for any reason whatsoever, Borrower is now or hereafter becomes indebted to Guarantor:

(a)such indebtedness and all interest thereon and all liens, security interests and rights now or hereafter existing with respect to property of Borrower securing such indebtedness shall, at all times, be subordinate in all respects to the Guaranteed Obligations and to all liens, security interests and rights now or hereafter existing to secure the Guaranteed Obligations;

(b)Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or receive payment, directly or indirectly, of any such indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor until the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and finally paid and performed; provided, however, that so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Guarantor shall not be prohibited from receiving such (i) reasonable management fees or reasonable salary from Borrower as Administrative Agent may find acceptable from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion, and (ii) distributions from

7



Borrower in an amount equal to any income taxes imposed on Guarantor which are attributable to Borrower’s income from the Property;

(c)Guarantor hereby assigns and grants to Administrative Agent a security interest in all such indebtedness and security therefor, if any, of Borrower to Guarantor now existing or hereafter arising, including any dividends and payments pursuant to debtor relief or insolvency proceedings referred to below. In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement or other debtor relief or insolvency proceedings involving Borrower as debtor, Administrative Agent shall have the right to prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and shall have the right to receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other custodian (whether or not a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing under any of the Loan Documents), dividends and payments that are payable upon any obligation of Borrower to Guarantor now existing or hereafter arising, and to have all benefits of any security therefor, until the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and finally paid and performed. If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Guarantor should receive any payment, claim or distribution that is prohibited as provided above in this Section 5, Guarantor shall pay the same to Administrative Agent immediately, Guarantor hereby agreeing that it shall receive the payment, claim or distribution in trust for Administrative Agent and shall have absolutely no dominion over the same except to pay it immediately to Administrative Agent; and

(d)Guarantor shall promptly upon written request of Administrative Agent from time to time execute such documents and perform such acts as Administrative Agent may reasonably require to evidence and perfect its interest and to permit or facilitate exercise of its rights under this Section 5, including execution and delivery of proofs of claim, further assignments and security agreements, and delivery to Administrative Agent of any promissory notes or other instruments evidencing indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor. All promissory notes, accounts receivable ledgers or other evidences, now or hereafter held by Guarantor, of obligations of such Borrower to Guarantor shall contain a specific written notice thereon that the indebtedness evidenced thereby is subordinated under and is subject to the terms of this Guaranty.

Section 6. Other Liability of Guarantor or Borrower.

If Guarantor is or becomes liable, by endorsement or otherwise, for any indebtedness owing by Borrower to Administrative Agent or any Lender other than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or affected hereby, and the rights of Administrative Agent and Lenders hereunder shall be cumulative of any and all other rights that Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against Guarantor. If Borrower is or becomes indebted to Administrative Agent or any Lender for any indebtedness other than or in excess of the Guaranteed Obligations, any payment received or recovery realized upon such other indebtedness of Borrower to Administrative Agent or such Lender may be applied to such other indebtedness. This Guaranty is independent of (and shall not be limited by) any other guaranty now existing or hereafter given. Further, Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty is in addition to any and all other liability Guarantor may have in any other capacity, including, if applicable, its capacity as a general partner.

8



Section 7. Lender Assigns; Disclosure of Information.

This Guaranty is for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and the permitted successors and assigns of each of them. Administrative Agent and any Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign all or a portion of its interest in the Guaranteed Obligations and the Loan Documents, on and subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement. In the event of any such permitted sale, transfer or assignment of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, the rights and benefits under this Guaranty, to the extent applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations so sold, transferred or assigned, may be transferred with such obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.5 of the Loan Agreement, Guarantor waives notice of any sale, transfer or assignment of the Guaranteed Obligations and/or this Guaranty or any part thereof, and agrees that failure to give notice of any such sale, transfer or assignment will not affect the liability of Guarantor hereunder. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 9.6 thereof, Administrative Agent and each Lender are hereby authorized to disseminate any information they now have or hereafter obtain pertaining to the Guaranteed Obligations or this Guaranty, including credit or other information on Borrower, Guarantor and/or any party liable, directly or indirectly, for any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, to any actual or prospective assignee or participant with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, to any of the affiliates of Administrative Agent or such Lender, including Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, to any regulatory body having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent or such Lender, and to any other parties as necessary or appropriate in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent or such Lender.

Section 8. Binding Effect; Joint and Several Liability.

This Guaranty is binding not only on Guarantor, but also on Guarantor’s heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. Upon the death of Guarantor, if Guarantor is a natural person, this Guaranty shall continue against Guarantor’s estate as to all of the Guaranteed Obligations, including that portion incurred or arising after the death of Guarantor and shall be provable in full against Guarantor’s estate, whether or not the Guaranteed Obligations are then due and payable. If this Guaranty is signed by more than one Person, then all of the obligations of Guarantor arising hereunder shall be jointly and severally binding on each of the undersigned, and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and the term “Guarantor” shall mean all of such Persons and each of them individually.

Section 9. Governing Law.

THE VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT, AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS GUARANTY, SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF COLORADO AND APPLICABLE UNITED STATES FEDERAL LAW, AND IS INTENDED TO BE PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY, SUCH LAWS. ALL OBLIGATIONS OF GUARANTOR HEREUNDER ARE PAYABLE AND PERFORMABLE AT THE PLACE OR PLACES WHERE THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS ARE PAYABLE AND PERFORMABLE.

Section 10. Invalidity of Certain Provisions.

If any provision of this Guaranty or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be declared to be invalid or unenforceable, neither the remaining provisions of this Guaranty nor the application of such provision to any other Person or circumstance shall be affected thereby, and the remaining provisions of this Guaranty, or the applicability of such provision to other Persons or circumstances, as applicable, shall remain in effect and be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 11. Costs and Expenses of Enforcement.

Guarantor agrees to pay to Administrative Agent on demand all costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender in seeking to enforce Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s rights and remedies under this Guaranty, including court costs, costs of alternative dispute resolution and reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not suit is filed or other proceedings are initiated hereon. All such costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender shall constitute a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder, shall be subject to the provisions hereof with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations and shall be payable by Guarantor on demand by Lender.

Section 12. No Usury.

It is not the intention of Administrative Agent, any Lender or Guarantor to obligate Guarantor to pay interest in excess of that lawfully permitted to be paid by Guarantor under applicable Law. Should it be determined that any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other amount payable by Guarantor under this Guaranty constitutes interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest that Guarantor, in Guarantor’s capacity as guarantor, may lawfully be required to pay under applicable Law, the obligation of Guarantor to pay such interest shall automatically be limited to the payment thereof in the maximum amount so permitted under applicable Law. The provisions of this Section shall override and control all other provisions of this Guaranty and of any other agreement between Guarantor, Administrative Agent and Lenders.

Section 13. Representations, Warranties, and Covenants of Guarantor.

Guarantor hereby represents, warrants, and covenants that: (a) Guarantor has a financial interest (indirectly) in Borrower and will derive a material and substantial benefit, directly or indirectly, from the making of the Loan to Borrower and from the making of this Guaranty by Guarantor; (b) this Guaranty is duly authorized and valid, and is binding upon and enforceable against Guarantor; (c) Guarantor is not, and the execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty will not cause Guarantor to be, in violation of or in default with respect to any law or in default (or at risk of acceleration of indebtedness) under any agreement or restriction by which Guarantor is bound or affected; (d) unless Guarantor is a natural person, Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization and has full power and authority to enter into and perform this Guaranty; (e) there is no material litigation pending with respect to which process has been served or, to the knowledge of Guarantor, threatened by or before any tribunal against or affecting Guarantor

10



which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on Guarantor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder; (f) all financial statements and information heretofore furnished to Administrative Agent by Guarantor do, and all financial statements and information hereafter furnished to Administrative Agent by Guarantor will, fully and accurately present the condition (financial or otherwise) of Guarantor as of their dates and the results of Guarantor’s operations for the periods therein specified, and, since the date of the most recent financial statements of Guarantor heretofore furnished to Administrative Agent, no material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition of Guarantor, nor, except as heretofore disclosed in writing to Administrative Agent, has Guarantor incurred any material liability, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent; (g) after giving effect to this Guaranty, Guarantor is solvent, is not engaged or about to engage in business or a transaction for which the property of Guarantor is an unreasonably small capital, and does not intend to incur or believe that it will incur debts that will be beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature; and (h) Guarantor has read and fully understands the provisions contained in the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Deed of Trust, the Environmental Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Guarantor’s representations, warranties and covenants are a material inducement to Administrative Agent to enter into the other Loan Documents and any Swap Contract, and shall survive the execution hereof and any bankruptcy, foreclosure, transfer of security or other event affecting Borrower, Guarantor, any other party, or any security for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 14. Notices.

All notices, requests, consents, demands and other communications required or which any party desires to give hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specifically provided in such other Loan Document, shall be deemed sufficiently given or furnished if delivered by personal delivery, by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or by certified United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the party to whom directed at the addresses specified at the end of this Guaranty (unless changed by similar notice in writing given by the particular party whose address is to be changed) or by facsimile. Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given either at the time of personal delivery or, in the case of courier or mail, as of the date of first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner provided herein, or, in the case of facsimile, upon receipt; provided that service of a notice required by any applicable statute shall be considered complete when the requirements of that statute are met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of change of address shall be effective except upon actual receipt. This Section shall not be construed in any way to affect or impair any waiver of notice or demand provided in this Guaranty or in any other Loan Document or to require giving of notice or demand to or upon any Person in any situation or for any reason.

Section 15. Cumulative Rights.

All of the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents are cumulative of each other and of any and all other rights at law or in equity, and the exercise by Administrative Agent or any Lender of any one or more of such rights and remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Administrative Agent or any Lender of any or all such other rights and remedies. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall exhaust it or preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every

11



right and remedy may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No failure by Administrative Agent or Lenders to exercise, nor delay in exercising, any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or as a waiver of any Default. No notice to or demand on Guarantor in any case shall of itself entitle Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No provision of this Guaranty or any right or remedy of Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect hereto, or any default or breach, can be waived, nor can this Guaranty or Guarantor be released or discharged in any way or to any extent, except specifically in each case by a writing intended for that purpose (and which refers specifically to this Guaranty) executed and delivered by Administrative Agent to Guarantor.

Section 16. Term of Guaranty.

This Guaranty shall continue in effect until all the Guaranteed Obligations and all of the obligations of Guarantor to Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Guaranty are fully and finally paid, performed and discharged and are not subject to any bankruptcy preference period or any other disgorgement.

Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Guaranty, in the event that Administrative Agent or its nominee or any third party takes record title to any portion of the Property following the exercise of Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, Guarantor shall nonetheless have the right to terminate its continuing liability under clause (ii) of Section 1 of this Guaranty with respect to Borrower’s obligations under the Environmental Agreement (and only as to such obligations) with respect to such portion of the Property, upon fulfillment of each of the following conditions to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent with respect to such portion of the Property:

(a)Guarantor or Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent a new environmental insurance policy which insures Administrative Agent (“New Environmental Insurance Policy”) and which:

(i)is comparable to the existing Environmental Insurance Policy approved by Administrative Agent except the policy limits shall be at least Five Million and No/100ths Dollars ($5,000,000) for each occurrence and in the aggregate with a retention of no greater than One Hundred Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($100,000); and
(ii)is issued by the same company as the existing Environmental Insurance Policy or a replacement company with an AM Best’s Rating equivalent or better than A- (Excellent)/IX; and
(iii)has a term of one (1) year from the date of issuance and shall be in “full force and effect” (i.e. shall have coverage under an extended reporting period of no less than three (3) years following the repayment of the Loan in full); and

(b)Administrative Agent shall have received evidence that all premiums for the coverage described in clause (a)(iii) above under such New Environmental Insurance Policy have been prepaid in full.

12



Such termination of Guarantor’s liability under clause (ii) of Section 1 of this Guaranty with respect to Borrower’s obligations under the Environmental Agreement, shall become effective only upon the delivery by Administrative Agent to Guarantor of a specific written acknowledgment of the satisfaction of all of the foregoing conditions and the termination of such obligations, which acknowledgement Administrative Agent agrees to provide unless any of the conditions to such termination have not been satisfied. This Section 16 shall under no circumstance be interpreted to terminate or limit any of Guarantor’s liabilities in Section 1 of this Guaranty except to the extent such liabilities relate to Borrower’s obligations under the Environmental Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Guaranty, in the event that Borrower successfully exercises its right to terminate its continuing liability under the Environmental Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 7 thereof, Guarantor’s liability under clause (ii) of Section 1 of this Guaranty with respect to its guaranty of Borrower’s obligations under the Environmental Agreement (and only as to such obligations) shall automatically terminate.

Section 17. Financial Statements.

Guarantor agrees to provide to Administrative Agent, as and when required, the Financial Statements and other financial information required to be delivered to Administrative Agent with respect to Guarantor pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in the form and detail required by the Loan Documents. Guarantor also agrees to provide to Administrative Agent such other and further financial information with respect to Guarantor as Administrative Agent shall from time to time reasonably request. Acceptance of any Financial Statement by Administrative Agent, whether or not in the form prescribed herein, shall be relied upon by Administrative Agent in the administration, enforcement, and extension of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 18. Subrogation.

Guarantor shall not have any right of subrogation under any of the Loan Documents or any right to participate in any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any right to reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or any similar rights, until the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and finally paid, performed and discharged in accordance with Section 16 above, and Guarantor hereby waives all of such rights.

Section 19. Time of Essence.

Time shall be of the essence in this Guaranty with respect to all of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

Section 20. Entire Agreement; Counterparts; Construction.

THIS GUARANTY EMBODIES THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS AND GUARANTOR WITH RESPECT TO THE GUARANTY BY GUARANTOR OF THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS. THIS GUARANTY SUPERSEDES ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND

14

GUARANTOR FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS GUARANTY AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, OR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH COUNSEL.

Section 24. [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 25. Separate Indemnity.

The obligations hereunder shall terminate upon the full repayment of all sums due under the Loan Documents.

Section 26. Credit Verification.

Each legal entity and individual obligated on this Guaranty, whether as a Guarantor, a general partner of a Guarantor or in any other capacity, hereby authorizes Administrative Agent and each Lender to check any credit references, verify his/her employment and obtain credit reports from credit reporting agencies of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s choice in connection with any monitoring, collection or future transaction concerning the Loan, including any modification, extension or renewal of the Loan.

The relationship between Administrative Agent and each Lender and Guarantor is solely that of lender and guarantor. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary or other special relationship with or duty to Guarantor and none is created hereby or may be inferred from any course of dealing or act or omission of Administrative Agent and/or any Lender.

Section 29. Reinstatement.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated automatically, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the obligations guaranteed hereby are rescinded or otherwise must be restored or returned by Administrative Agent (whether as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise) upon or in connection with the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person or for a substantial part of Borrower’s, Guarantor’s or any of such other Person’s property, as the case may be, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. Guarantor further agrees that in the event any such payment is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by or on behalf of Administrative Agent and Lenders in defending or enforcing such continuance or reinstatement, as the case may be, shall constitute costs of enforcement, the payment of which is guaranteed by Guarantor pursuant to Section 11 hereof.

Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have no recourse against, nor shall there be any personal liability to, the members of Guarantor, or to any shareholders, members, partners, beneficial interest holders or any other entity or person in the ownership (directly or indirectly) of Guarantor with respect to the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty. For purposes of clarification, in no event shall the above language limit, reduce or otherwise affect any Borrower’s liability or obligations under the Loan Documents, Guarantor’s liability or obligations under the Guaranty, or Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s right to exercise any rights or remedies against any collateral securing the Loan.

SIGNATURE PAGE TO LIMITED PAYMENT GUARANTY AGREEMENT


Exhibit 10.7
Limited Completion Guaranty Agreement

This Limited Completion Guaranty Agreement (this “Guaranty”) is made as of the 30th day of August, 2019, by KBS REIT Properties II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Guarantor”), in favor of Bank of America, N.A., a national banking association, as administrative agent for Lenders as that term is defined below (collectively with its successors or assigns, in such capacity, “Administrative Agent”), and each of the Lenders.

Recitals

Administrative Agent and certain other lenders from time to time (each a “Lender” and collectively, “Lenders”), and KBSII Granite Tower, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), are entering into concurrently herewith that certain Loan Agreement dated as of the date hereof (herein called, as it may hereafter be modified, supplemented, restated, extended, or renewed and in effect from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), which Loan Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of a loan (the “Loan”) to Borrower.

A condition precedent to Lenders’ obligation to make the Loan to Borrower is Guarantor’s execution and delivery to Administrative Agent of this Guaranty.

The Loan will be evidenced by those certain Promissory Notes of even date herewith, each made by Borrower and payable to the order of a Lender, in the aggregate original face principal amount of One Hundred Forty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($145,000,000.00) (such notes, as they may hereafter be renewed, extended, supplemented, increased or modified and in effect from time to time, and all other notes given in substitution therefor, or in modification, renewal, or extension thereof, in whole or in part, are herein called the “Note”).

Any capitalized term used and not defined in this Guaranty shall have the meaning given to such term in the Loan Agreement. This Guaranty is one of the Loan Documents described in the Loan Agreement.

Agreements

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce Lenders to make the Loan to Borrower, Guarantor hereby guarantees to Administrative Agent and the Lenders the prompt and full payment and performance of the obligations described below in this Guaranty, this Guaranty being upon the following terms and conditions:

Section 1. Guaranty of Performance.

Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Administrative Agent and Lenders the complete payment and performance when due of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the Anadarko Lease (as hereinafter defined) to:

(a)Complete the Landlord’s Work (as defined in Section 1(d) of Exhibit C to the Seventeenth Amendment (as defined below) of the Anadarko Lease), including, without
1



limitation, completion of the restroom renovations required pursuant to Section 16 of the Seventeenth Amendment, all in accordance with the terms of the Anadarko Lease;

(b)Pay the Tenant Improvement Allowance (as defined in the Seventeenth Amendment) in accordance with the terms of the Anadarko Lease;

(c)Complete all other Building upgrades in accordance with the terms of Section 17 and Exhibit D of the Seventeenth Amendment to the Anadarko Lease; and

(d)Complete any other capital improvements (if any) required to be completed by Borrower pursuant to the Seventeenth Amendment (as defined below) to the Anadarko Lease.

The foregoing obligations of Borrower described in paragraphs (a) through (d) above shall be referred to herein as the “Guaranteed Lease Obligations.”

For purposes hereof, “Anadarko Lease” means that certain Office Lease, dated as of July 30, 2002, Denver-Stellar Associates Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, as the original landlord, and Western Gas Resources, Inc., as the original tenant, as most recently amended by that certain Seventeenth Amendment to Office Lease, dated as of December 19, 2018 (the “Seventeenth Amendment”), between Borrower, as landlord, and Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation, as tenant (the “Tenant”).

Section 2. Limitation on Guarantor’s Liability for Guaranteed Lease Obligations.

Notwithstanding any provision herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, in no event shall Guarantor’s liability for the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations exceed an amount equal to Forty-Five Million Six Hundred Eighty-Three Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($45,683,000.00) (the “Maximum Guaranteed Amount”). The Maximum Guaranteed Amount shall be reduced in accordance with the following:

(a)The Maximum Guaranteed Amount shall be reduced, on a dollar for dollar basis, by the sum of:

(i)the amount, if any, spent by or on behalf of Borrower (exclusive of any such amounts on behalf of Borrower by Administrative Agent or any Lender) to pay or perform the Guaranteed Lease Obligations;

(ii)any amounts of the Tenant Improvement Allowance that the Tenant has elected to apply as a Rent Credit (as defined in the Seventeenth Amendment) pursuant to the terms of Section 11 of the Seventeenth Amendment, as evidenced by the written notice of such application that the Tenant is required to provide pursuant to Section 11 of the Seventeenth Amendment; it being understood and agreed, however, that in no event shall the Maximum Guaranteed Amount be reduced by any amounts of the Tenant Improvement Allowance that the Tenant has elected to apply to the costs of Future Improvements (as defined in the Seventeenth Amendment) pursuant to the terms of Section 11 of the Seventeenth Amendment; and


2



(iii)the amount, if any, of the Tenant Improvement Allowance that remains undisbursed and has not be applied to the costs of the Future Improvements as of the Construction Termination Date (as defined in the Seventeenth Amendment), which amount must be confirmed by an estoppel certificate delivered by the Tenant or such other evidence as may be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent; and

(b)If, as of the date that Administrative Agent commences any action to enforce this Guaranty, any proceeds of the Loan allocated under the Loan Agreement to pay the Guaranteed Lease Obligations remain undisbursed, the Maximum Guaranteed Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such undisbursed Loan Proceeds.

Upon Borrower’s or Guarantor’s written request, Administrative Agent shall confirm, from time to time, the remaining Maximum Guaranteed Amount in writing.

Section 3. Primary Liability of Guarantor.

(a)This Guaranty is an absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance, and Guarantor shall be liable for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations as a primary obligor. This Guaranty shall be effective as a waiver of, and Guarantor hereby expressly waives, any right to which Guarantor may otherwise have been entitled, whether existing under statute, at Law or in equity, to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to take prior recourse or proceedings against any collateral, security or Person. It shall not be necessary for Administrative Agent or any Lender, in order to enforce such payment or performance by Guarantor, first to institute suit or pursue or exhaust any rights or remedies against Borrower or other Person liable on such indebtedness or for such performance, or to enforce any rights against any security given to secure such indebtedness or performance, or to join Borrower or any other Person liable for the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations or any part thereof in any action to enforce this Guaranty, or to resort to any other means of obtaining payment or performance of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall prevent Administrative Agent or any Lender from suing on any Note or foreclosing the Deed of Trust or exercising any other right under the Loan Documents.

(b)Suit may be brought or demand may be made against Borrower or against any or all parties who have signed this Guaranty or any other guaranty covering all or any part of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations, or against any one or more of them, separately or together, without impairing the rights of Administrative Agent or any Lender against any party hereto.

Section 4. Certain Agreements and Waivers by Guarantor.

(a)Guarantor agrees that neither the rights or remedies of Administrative Agent and Lenders nor Guarantor’s obligations under the terms of this Guaranty shall be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or affected by any one or more of the following events, actions, facts, or circumstances, Guarantor waives any rights, claims or defenses arising from any such events, actions, facts, or circumstances, and the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of:

3



(i)any limitation on the liability of, or recourse against, any other Person in any Loan Document or arising under any Law;
(ii)any claim or defense that this Guaranty was made without consideration or is not supported by adequate consideration or that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder exceed or are more burdensome than those of Borrower under the other Loan Documents;
(iii)the taking or accepting of any other security or guaranty for, or right of recourse with respect to, any or all of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations;

(v)any homestead exemption or any other exemption under applicable Law;
(vi)any release, surrender, abandonment, exchange, alteration, sale or other disposition, subordination, deterioration, waste, failure to protect or preserve, impairment, or loss of, or any failure to create or perfect any lien or security interest with respect to, or any other dealings with, any collateral or security at any time existing or purported, believed or expected to exist in connection with any or all of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations, or any impairment of Guarantor’s recourse against any Person or collateral;
(vii)whether express or by operation of Law, any partial release of the liability of Guarantor hereunder (except to the extent expressly so released) or any complete or partial release of Borrower or any other Person liable, directly or indirectly, for the payment or performance of any or all of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations;
(viii)the death, insolvency, bankruptcy, disability, dissolution, liquidation, termination, receivership, reorganization, merger, consolidation, change of form, structure or ownership, sale of all assets, or lack of corporate, partnership or other power of Borrower or any other Person at any time liable for the payment or performance of any or all of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations;
(ix)either with or without notice to or consent of Guarantor, any renewal, extension, modification, supplement, subordination or rearrangement of the terms of any or all of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations and/or any of the Loan Documents, including material alterations of the terms of payment (including changes in maturity date(s) and interest rate(s)) or performance (including changes with respect to the construction of the Improvements) or any other terms thereof, or any waiver, termination, or release of, or consent to departure from, any of the Loan Documents or any other guaranty of any or all of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations, or any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance, or compromise that may be granted from time to time by


4



Administrative Agent or Lenders to Borrower or any other Person at any time liable for the payment or performance of any or all of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations;

(x)any neglect, lack of diligence, delay, omission, failure, or refusal of Administrative Agent or any Lender to take or prosecute (or in taking or prosecuting) any action for the collection or enforcement of any of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations, or to foreclose or take or prosecute any action to foreclose (or in foreclosing or taking or prosecuting any action to foreclose) upon any security therefor, or to exercise (or in exercising) any other right or power with respect to any security therefor, or to take or prosecute (or in taking or prosecuting) any action in connection with any Loan Document, or any failure to sell or otherwise dispose of in a commercially reasonable manner any collateral securing any or all of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations;
(xi)any failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to notify Guarantor of any creation, renewal, extension, rearrangement, modification, supplement, subordination, or assignment of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations or any part thereof, or of any Loan Document, or of any release of or change in any security, or of the occurrence or existence of any Default or Potential Default, or of any other action taken or refrained from being taken by Administrative Agent or any Lender against Borrower or any security or other recourse, or of any new agreement between or among Administrative Agent, any Lender and Borrower, it being understood that Administrative Agent shall not be required to give Guarantor any notice of any kind under any circumstances with respect to or in connection with the Guaranteed Lease Obligations, any and all rights to notice Guarantor may have otherwise had being hereby waived by Guarantor, and Guarantor shall be responsible for obtaining for itself information regarding Borrower and any collateral, including any changes in the business or financial condition of Borrower or any collateral, and Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to notify Guarantor of any information which Administrative Agent or such Lender may have concerning Borrower or any collateral;
(xii)the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off or other right that Guarantor may at any time have against Borrower, Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any other Person, whether or not arising in connection with this Guaranty, any Note, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(xiii)the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations against Borrower, whether because the Guaranteed Lease Obligations exceed the amount permitted by Law or violate any usury law, or because the Persons creating the Guaranteed Lease Obligations acted in excess of their authority, or because of a lack of validity or enforceability of or defect or deficiency in any of the Loan Documents, or because Borrower has any valid defense, claim or offset with respect thereto, or because Borrower’s obligation ceases to exist by operation of Law, or because of any other reason or circumstance, it being agreed that Guarantor shall remain liable hereon regardless of whether Borrower or any other Person be found not liable on the Guaranteed Lease Obligations, or any part thereof, for any reason (and regardless of any joinder of

5



Borrower or any other party in any action to obtain payment or performance of any or all of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations);

(xiv)any order, ruling or plan of reorganization emanating from proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code with respect to Borrower or any other Person, including any extension, reduction, composition, or other alteration of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations, whether or not consented to by Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent or any Lender in any such proceedings, including any election to have Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s claim allowed as being secured, partially secured or unsecured, any extension of credit by Administrative Agent or such Lender in any such proceedings or the taking and holding by Administrative Agent or such Lender of any security for any such extension of credit;
(xv)any other condition, event, omission, action or inaction that would in the absence of this paragraph result in the release or discharge of Guarantor from the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Guaranty or any other agreement;
(xvi)any early termination of any of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations; or
(xvii)Administrative Agent or any Lender’s enforcement or forbearance from enforcement of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations on a net or gross basis.

(b)In the event any payment by Borrower or any other Person to Administrative Agent or any Lender is held to constitute a preference, fraudulent transfer or other voidable payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Law, or if for any other reason Administrative Agent or any Lender is required to refund such payment or pay the amount thereof to any other party, such payment by any Borrower or any other party to Administrative Agent or such Lender shall not constitute a release of Guarantor from any liability hereunder, and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated (notwithstanding any prior release, surrender or discharge by Administrative Agent of this Guaranty or of Guarantor), as the case may be, with respect to, and this Guaranty shall apply to, any and all amounts so refunded by Administrative Agent or any Lender or paid by Administrative Agent or any Lender to another Person (which amounts shall constitute part of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations), and any interest paid by Administrative Agent or any Lender and any attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses paid or incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with any such event.

(c)It is the intent of Guarantor, Administrative Agent and each Lender that the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances and that until the Guaranteed Lease Obligations are fully and finally paid and performed, and not subject to refund or disgorgement, the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or released, in whole or in part, by any act or occurrence that might, but for the provisions of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge or release of a guarantor.


6



(d)Guarantor’s obligations shall not be affected, impaired, lessened or released by loans, credits or other financial accommodations now existing or hereafter advanced by Administrative Agent or any Lender to Borrower in excess of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations. All payments, repayments and prepayments of the Loan, whether voluntary or involuntary, received by Administrative Agent or any Lender from Borrower, any other Person or any other source (other than from Guarantor pursuant to a demand by Administrative Agent hereunder), and any amounts realized from any collateral for the Loan, shall be deemed to be applied first to any portion of the Loan which is not covered by this Guaranty, and last to the Guaranteed Lease Obligations, and this Guaranty shall bind Guarantor to the extent of any Guaranteed Lease Obligations that may remain owing to Administrative Agent or any Lender. Administrative Agent shall have the right to apply any sums paid by Guarantor to any portion of the Loan in Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion.

(e)If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by Borrower under any Note, the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Document is stayed or delayed by any Law or tribunal, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by Guarantor on demand by Administrative Agent.

(f)Guarantor further waives: (i) any defense to the recovery by Administrative Agent or Lenders against Guarantor of any deficiency or otherwise to the enforcement of this Guaranty or any security for this Guaranty based upon the election by Administrative Agent or Lenders of any remedy against Guarantor or Borrower, including the defense to enforcement of this Guaranty (the so-called “Gradsky” defense) which, absent this waiver, Guarantor would have by virtue of an election by Administrative Agent or Lenders to conduct a non-judicial foreclosure sale (also known as a “trustee’s sale”) of any real property security for the Indebtedness, it being understood by Guarantor that any such non-judicial foreclosure sale will destroy, by operation of California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”) Section 580d, all rights of any party to a deficiency judgment against Borrower and, as a consequence, will destroy all rights that Guarantor would otherwise have (including the right of subrogation, the right of reimbursement, and the right of contribution) to proceed against Borrower; (ii) any defense or benefits that may be derived from CCP Sections 580a, 580b, 580d or 726, or comparable provisions of the laws of any other jurisdiction and all other anti-deficiency and one form of action defenses under the laws of California and any other jurisdiction; and (iii) any right to a fair value hearing under CCP Section 580a, or any other similar law, to determine the size of any deficiency owing (for which Guarantor would be liable hereunder) following a non-judicial foreclosure sale.

(g)Without limiting the foregoing or anything else contained in this Guaranty, Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that Guarantor may have because the Guaranteed Lease Obligations are secured by real property. This means, among other things:

(i)That Administrative Agent or Lenders may collect from Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Borrower; and
(ii)If Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by Borrower: (A) the amount of the Guaranteed
7



Lease Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (B) Administrative Agent and/or Lenders may collect from Guarantor even if Administrative Agent, by foreclosing on the real property collateral for Lenders’ benefit, has destroyed any right Guarantor may have to collect from Borrower.

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses that Guarantor may have because the Guaranteed Lease Obligations are secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the CCP.

(h)Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Administrative Agent or Lenders, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Guaranteed Lease Obligations, has destroyed Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against Borrower by operation of Section 580d of the CCP or otherwise.

(i)Guarantor waives Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement, including
(i) any defenses Guarantor may have by reason of an election of remedies by Administrative Agent or Lenders, and (ii) any rights or defenses Guarantor may have by reason of protection afforded to Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Lease Obligations pursuant to the anti- deficiency or other laws of California limiting or discharging Borrower’s obligations, including Sections 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the CCP.

(j)Guarantor waives any rights, defenses and benefits that may be derived from Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code or comparable provisions of the laws of any other jurisdiction and further waives all other suretyship defenses Guarantor would otherwise have under the laws of California or any other jurisdiction.

(k)No provision or waiver in this Guaranty shall be construed as limiting the generality of any other provision or waiver contained in this Guaranty. All of the waivers contained herein are irrevocable and unconditional and are intentionally and freely made by Guarantor.

Section 5. Subordination.

If, for any reason whatsoever, Borrower is now or hereafter becomes indebted to Guarantor:

(a)such indebtedness and all interest thereon and all liens, security interests and rights now or hereafter existing with respect to property of Borrower securing such indebtedness shall, at all times, be subordinate in all respects to the Guaranteed Lease Obligations and to all liens, security interests and rights now or hereafter existing to secure the Guaranteed Lease Obligations;

(b)Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or receive payment, directly or indirectly, of any such indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor until the Guaranteed Lease Obligations have been fully and finally paid and performed; provided, however, that so long as


8



no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Guarantor shall not be prohibited from receiving such (i) reasonable management fees or reasonable salary from Borrower as Administrative Agent may find acceptable from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion, and (ii) distributions from Borrower in an amount equal to any income taxes imposed on Guarantor which are attributable to Borrower’s income from the Property;

(c)Guarantor hereby assigns and grants to Administrative Agent a security interest in all such indebtedness and security therefor, if any, of Borrower to Guarantor now existing or hereafter arising, including any dividends and payments pursuant to debtor relief or insolvency proceedings referred to below. In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement or other debtor relief or insolvency proceedings involving Borrower as debtor, Administrative Agent shall have the right to prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and shall have the right to receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other custodian (whether or not a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing under any of the Loan Documents), dividends and payments that are payable upon any obligation of Borrower to Guarantor now existing or hereafter arising, and to have all benefits of any security therefor, until the Guaranteed Lease Obligations have been fully and finally paid and performed. If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Guarantor should receive any payment, claim or distribution that is prohibited as provided above in this Section 5, Guarantor shall pay the same to Administrative Agent immediately, Guarantor hereby agreeing that it shall receive the payment, claim or distribution in trust for Administrative Agent and shall have absolutely no dominion over the same except to pay it immediately to Administrative Agent; and

(d)Guarantor shall promptly upon written request of Administrative Agent from time to time execute such documents and perform such acts as Administrative Agent may reasonably require to evidence and perfect its interest and to permit or facilitate exercise of its rights under this Section 5, including execution and delivery of proofs of claim, further assignments and security agreements, and delivery to Administrative Agent of any promissory notes or other instruments evidencing indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor. All promissory notes, accounts receivable ledgers or other evidences, now or hereafter held by Guarantor, of obligations of such Borrower to Guarantor shall contain a specific written notice thereon that the indebtedness evidenced thereby is subordinated under and is subject to the terms of this Guaranty.

Section 6. Other Liability of Guarantor or Borrower.

If Guarantor is or becomes liable, by endorsement or otherwise, for any indebtedness owing by Borrower to Administrative Agent or any Lender other than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or affected hereby, and the rights of Administrative Agent and Lenders hereunder shall be cumulative of any and all other rights that Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against Guarantor. If Borrower is or becomes indebted to Administrative Agent or any Lender for any indebtedness other than or in excess of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations, any payment received or recovery realized upon such other indebtedness of Borrower to Administrative Agent or such Lender may be applied to such other indebtedness. This Guaranty is independent of (and shall not be limited by) any other guaranty now existing or hereafter given. Further, Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty is in addition to any and all other liability Guarantor may have in any other capacity, including, if applicable,

9



its capacity as a general partner.

Section 7. Lender Assigns; Disclosure of Information.

This Guaranty is for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and the permitted successors and assigns of each of them. Administrative Agent and any Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign all or a portion of its interest in the Guaranteed Lease Obligations and the Loan Documents, on and subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement. In the event of any such permitted sale, transfer or assignment of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations or any part thereof, the rights and benefits under this Guaranty, to the extent applicable to the Guaranteed Lease Obligations so sold, transferred or assigned, may be transferred with such obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.5 of the Loan Agreement, Guarantor waives notice of any sale, transfer or assignment of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations and/or this Guaranty or any part thereof, and agrees that failure to give notice of any such sale, transfer or assignment will not affect the liability of Guarantor hereunder. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 9.6 thereof, Administrative Agent and each Lender are hereby authorized to disseminate any information they now have or hereafter obtain pertaining to the Guaranteed Lease Obligations or this Guaranty, including credit or other information on Borrower, Guarantor and/or any party liable, directly or indirectly, for any part of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations, to any actual or prospective assignee or participant with respect to the Guaranteed Lease Obligations, to any of the affiliates of Administrative Agent or such Lender, including Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, to any regulatory body having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent or such Lender, and to any other parties as necessary or appropriate in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent or such Lender.

Section 8. Binding Effect; Joint and Several Liability.

This Guaranty is binding not only on Guarantor, but also on Guarantor’s heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. Upon the death of Guarantor, if Guarantor is a natural person, this Guaranty shall continue against Guarantor’s estate as to all of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations, including that portion incurred or arising after the death of Guarantor and shall be provable in full against Guarantor’s estate, whether or not the Guaranteed Lease Obligations are then due and payable. If this Guaranty is signed by more than one Person, then all of the obligations of Guarantor arising hereunder shall be jointly and severally binding on each of the undersigned, and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and the term “Guarantor” shall mean all of such Persons and each of them individually.

Section 9. Governing Law.

The validity, enforcement, and interpretation of this Guaranty, shall for all purposes be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California and applicable United States federal law, and is intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, such laws. All obligations of Guarantor hereunder are payable and performable at the place or places where the Guaranteed Lease Obligations are payable and performable.

10



Section 10. Invalidity of Certain Provisions.

If any provision of this Guaranty or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be declared to be invalid or unenforceable, neither the remaining provisions of this Guaranty nor the application of such provision to any other Person or circumstance shall be affected thereby, and the remaining provisions of this Guaranty, or the applicability of such provision to other Persons or circumstances, as applicable, shall remain in effect and be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 11. Costs and Expenses of Enforcement.

Guarantor agrees to pay to Administrative Agent on demand all costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender in seeking to enforce Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s rights and remedies under this Guaranty, including court costs, costs of alternative dispute resolution and reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not suit is filed or other proceedings are initiated hereon. All such costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender shall constitute a portion of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations hereunder, shall be subject to the provisions hereof with respect to the Guaranteed Lease Obligations and shall be payable by Guarantor on demand by Lender.

Section 12. No Usury.

It is not the intention of Administrative Agent, any Lender or Guarantor to obligate Guarantor to pay interest in excess of that lawfully permitted to be paid by Guarantor under applicable Law. Should it be determined that any portion of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations or any other amount payable by Guarantor under this Guaranty constitutes interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest that Guarantor, in Guarantor’s capacity as guarantor, may lawfully be required to pay under applicable Law, the obligation of Guarantor to pay such interest shall automatically be limited to the payment thereof in the maximum amount so permitted under applicable Law. The provisions of this Section shall override and control all other provisions of this Guaranty and of any other agreement between Guarantor, Administrative Agent and Lenders.

Section 13. Representations, Warranties, and Covenants of Guarantor.

Guarantor hereby represents, warrants, and covenants that: (a) Guarantor has a financial interest (indirectly) in Borrower and will derive a material and substantial benefit, directly or indirectly, from the making of the Loan to Borrower and from the making of this Guaranty by Guarantor; (b) this Guaranty is duly authorized and valid, and is binding upon and enforceable against Guarantor; (c) Guarantor is not, and the execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty will not cause Guarantor to be, in violation of or in default with respect to any law or in default (or at risk of acceleration of indebtedness) under any agreement or restriction by which Guarantor is bound or affected; (d) unless Guarantor is a natural person, Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization and has full power and authority to enter into and perform this Guaranty; (e) there is no material litigation pending with respect to which process has been served or, to the knowledge of Guarantor, threatened by or before any tribunal against or affecting Guarantor

11



which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on Guarantor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder; (f) all financial statements and information heretofore furnished to Administrative Agent by Guarantor do, and all financial statements and information hereafter furnished to Administrative Agent by Guarantor will, fully and accurately present the condition (financial or otherwise) of Guarantor as of their dates and the results of Guarantor’s operations for the periods therein specified, and, since the date of the most recent financial statements of Guarantor heretofore furnished to Administrative Agent, no material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition of Guarantor, nor, except as heretofore disclosed in writing to Administrative Agent, has Guarantor incurred any material liability, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent; (g) after giving effect to this Guaranty, Guarantor is solvent, is not engaged or about to engage in business or a transaction for which the property of Guarantor is an unreasonably small capital, and does not intend to incur or believe that it will incur debts that will be beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature; and (h) Guarantor has read and fully understands the provisions contained in the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Deed of Trust, the Environmental Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Guarantor’s representations, warranties and covenants are a material inducement to Administrative Agent to enter into the other Loan Documents and any Swap Contract, and shall survive the execution hereof and any bankruptcy, foreclosure, transfer of security or other event affecting Borrower, Guarantor, any other party, or any security for all or any part of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations.

Section 14. Notices.

All notices, requests, consents, demands and other communications required or which any party desires to give hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specifically provided in such other Loan Document, shall be deemed sufficiently given or furnished if delivered by personal delivery, by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or by certified United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the party to whom directed at the addresses specified at the end of this Guaranty (unless changed by similar notice in writing given by the particular party whose address is to be changed) or by facsimile. Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given either at the time of personal delivery or, in the case of courier or mail, as of the date of first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner provided herein, or, in the case of facsimile, upon receipt; provided that service of a notice required by any applicable statute shall be considered complete when the requirements of that statute are met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of change of address shall be effective except upon actual receipt. This Section shall not be construed in any way to affect or impair any waiver of notice or demand provided in this Guaranty or in any other Loan Document or to require giving of notice or demand to or upon any Person in any situation or for any reason.

Section 15. Cumulative Rights.

All of the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents are cumulative of each other and of any and all other rights at law or in equity, and the exercise by Administrative Agent or any Lender of any one or more of such rights and remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Administrative Agent or any Lender of any or all such other rights and remedies. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall exhaust it or preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every

12



right and remedy may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No failure by Administrative Agent or Lenders to exercise, nor delay in exercising, any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or as a waiver of any Default. No notice to or demand on Guarantor in any case shall of itself entitle Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No provision of this Guaranty or any right or remedy of Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect hereto, or any default or breach, can be waived, nor can this Guaranty or Guarantor be released or discharged in any way or to any extent, except specifically in each case by a writing intended for that purpose (and which refers specifically to this Guaranty) executed and delivered by Administrative Agent to Guarantor.

Section 16. Term of Guaranty.

This Guaranty shall continue in effect until the earlier of (a) Borrower’s full payment and/or performance of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Seventeenth Amendment, (b) the termination of Borrower’s obligation to pay and/or perform the Guaranteed Lease Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Anadarko Lease, including, without limitation, the Seventeenth Amendment, (c) receipt by Administrative Agent of either
(i) an estoppel certificate from the Tenant confirming that the obligations of Borrower described in paragraphs (a) through (d) of Section 1 above have been fully performed in accordance with the terms of the Seventeenth Amendment, or (ii) other evidence reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent that the obligations of Borrower described in paragraphs (a) through (d) of Section 1 above have been fully performed in accordance with the terms of the Seventeenth Amendment, and (d) all the Guaranteed Lease Obligations and all of the obligations of Guarantor to Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Guaranty are fully and finally paid, performed and/or discharged (as applicable) and are not subject to any bankruptcy preference period or any other disgorgement. No written instrument executed by Administrative Agent shall be necessary to effectuate any termination of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, provided that following satisfaction of any of the foregoing conditions in this Section 16, Administrative Agent shall promptly confirm such termination upon receipt of Borrower’s or Guarantor’s written request.

Section 17. Financial Statements.

Guarantor agrees to provide to Administrative Agent, as and when required, the Financial Statements and other financial information required to be delivered to Administrative Agent with respect to Guarantor pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in the form and detail required by the Loan Documents. Guarantor also agrees to provide to Administrative Agent such other and further financial information with respect to Guarantor as Administrative Agent shall from time to time reasonably request. Acceptance of any Financial Statement by Administrative Agent, whether or not in the form prescribed herein, shall be relied upon by Administrative Agent in the administration, enforcement, and extension of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations.

Section 18. Subrogation.

Guarantor shall not have any right of subrogation under any of the Loan Documents or any right to participate in any security for the Guaranteed Lease Obligations or any right to reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or any similar rights, until the

13



Guaranteed Lease Obligations have been fully and finally paid, performed and discharged in accordance with Section 16 above, and Guarantor hereby waives all of such rights.

Section 19. Time of Essence.

Time shall be of the essence in this Guaranty with respect to all of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

Section 20. Entire Agreement; Counterparts; Construction.

THIS GUARANTY EMBODIES THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS AND GUARANTOR WITH RESPECT TO THE GUARANTY BY GUARANTOR OF THE GUARANTEED LEASE OBLIGATIONS. THIS GUARANTY SUPERSEDES ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, IF ANY, WITH RESPECT TO THE GUARANTY BY GUARANTOR OF THE GUARANTEED LEASE OBLIGATIONS. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE UPON EXECUTION BY GUARANTOR AND DELIVERY TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. THIS GUARANTY MAY NOT BE MODIFIED, AMENDED OR SUPERSEDED EXCEPT IN A WRITING SIGNED BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND GUARANTOR REFERENCING THIS GUARANTY BY ITS DATE AND SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFYING THE PORTIONS HEREOF THAT ARE TO BE MODIFIED, AMENDED OR SUPERSEDED. THIS GUARANTY HAS BEEN EXECUTED IN A NUMBER OF IDENTICAL COUNTERPARTS, EACH OF WHICH SHALL BE DEEMED AN ORIGINAL FOR ALL PURPOSES AND ALL OF WHICH CONSTITUTE, COLLECTIVELY, ONE AGREEMENT. AS USED HEREIN, THE WORDS “INCLUDE” AND “INCLUDING” SHALL BE INTERPRETED AS IF FOLLOWED BY THE WORDS “WITHOUT LIMITATION.”

Section 21. [Intentionally Omitted.]
Section 22. Forum.
Guarantor hereby irrevocably submits generally and unconditionally for itself and in respect of its property to the jurisdiction of any state court or any United States federal court sitting in the State specified in the governing law section of this Guaranty and to the jurisdiction of any state court or any United States federal court sitting in the state in which any of the Property is located, over any Dispute. Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that Guarantor may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any such court and any claim that any such court is an inconvenient forum. Guarantor hereby agrees and consents that, in addition to any methods of service of process provided for under applicable law, all service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding in any state court or any United States federal court sitting in the state specified in the governing law section of this Guaranty may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, directed to Guarantor at its address for notice set forth in this Guaranty, or at a subsequent address of which Administrative Agent received actual notice from Guarantor in accordance with the notice section of this Guaranty, and service so made shall be complete five (5) days after the same shall have been so mailed. Nothing herein shall affect the right of Administrative Agent or any

14



Lender to serve process in any manner permitted by Law or limit the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against Guarantor in any other court or jurisdiction.

Section 23. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GUARANTOR AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY DISPUTE (AS DEFINED IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT) AND ANY ACTION ON SUCH DISPUTE. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY GUARANTOR, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER, AND GUARANTOR, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY REPRESENT THAT NO REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT OR OPINION HAVE BEEN MADE BY ANY PERSON OR ENTITY TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR TO IN ANY WAY MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. GUARANTOR, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER ARE EACH HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. GUARANTOR FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS GUARANTY AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, OR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH COUNSEL.

Section 24. [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 25. Separate Indemnity. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent’s rights (and Guarantor’s obligations) under this Guaranty shall be in addition to all of Administrative Agent’s rights (and all of Guarantor’s obligations) under any indemnity agreement or other guaranty executed and delivered to Administrative Agent by Borrower and/or any Guarantor and any payments made under this Guaranty shall not reduce any obligations and liabilities under any such indemnity agreement or other guaranty. Guarantor’s payment and/or performance of the Guaranteed Lease Obligations shall satisfy any obligation of Borrower to pay and/or perform the same pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents.

Section 26. Credit Verification.

Each legal entity and individual obligated on this Guaranty, whether as a Guarantor, a general partner of a Guarantor or in any other capacity, hereby authorizes Administrative Agent and each Lender to check any credit references, verify his/her employment and obtain credit reports from credit reporting agencies of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s choice in connection with any monitoring, collection or future transaction concerning the Loan, including any modification, extension or renewal of the Loan. Also in connection with any such monitoring, collection or future transaction, Administrative Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized to check credit references, verify employment and obtain a third party credit report for the spouse of any married person obligated on this Guaranty, if such person lives in a community property state.

15



Section 27. ERISA.

As of the date hereof and throughout the term of this Guaranty, (a) Guarantor is not and will not be (i) an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”); or (ii) a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e) of the Code; (b) the assets of Guarantor do not and will not constitute “plan assets” within the meaning of the United States Department of Labor Regulations set forth in 29 C.F.R.
§2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA; and (c) Guarantor is not and will not be a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and transactions by or with Guarantor are not and will not be subject to federal, state or local statutes applicable to Guarantor regulating investments of fiduciaries with respect to governmental plans.

Section 28. No Fiduciary Relationship.

The relationship between Administrative Agent and each Lender and Guarantor is solely that of lender and guarantor. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary or other special relationship with or duty to Guarantor and none is created hereby or may be inferred from any course of dealing or act or omission of Administrative Agent and/or any Lender.

Section 29. Reinstatement.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated automatically, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the obligations guaranteed hereby are rescinded or otherwise must be restored or returned by Administrative Agent (whether as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise) upon or in connection with the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person or for a substantial part of Borrower’s, Guarantor’s or any of such other Person’s property, as the case may be, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. Guarantor further agrees that in the event any such payment is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by or on behalf of Administrative Agent and Lenders in defending or enforcing such continuance or reinstatement, as the case may be, shall constitute costs of enforcement, the payment of which is guaranteed by Guarantor pursuant to Section 11 hereof.

Exhibit 10.8
Environmental Indemnification and Release Agreement

This Environmental Indemnification and Release Agreement (this “Agreement”) is executed as of the 30th day of August, 2019, by KBSII GRANITE TOWER, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), for the benefit of (i) each of the lenders (each, a “Lender” and collectively, “Lenders”) from time to time party to that certain Loan Agreement of even date herewith (the “Loan Agreement”) among Borrower, Lenders and Bank of America, N.A., a national banking association, as administrative agent for Lenders (in such capacity, “Administrative Agent”), (ii) Administrative Agent, and (iii) the Indemnified Parties defined and described below.

Recitals

Borrower has requested that Lenders and Administrative Agent make a loan (the “Loan”) to Borrower evidenced by one or more Promissory Notes of even date herewith in the aggregate principal face amount of One Hundred Forty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($145,000,000.00), which Loan is secured by, among other things, a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (the “Deed of Trust”) of even date herewith conveying and encumbering certain real and personal property as therein described (collectively, the “Property”), including the land described in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. As a condition precedent to making the Loan, Lenders have required that Borrower execute and deliver this Agreement to Administrative Agent. The term “Loan Documents” is used herein as defined in the Deed of Trust.

Agreements

Section 1. Definitions.

As used in this Agreement, the terms defined in the Preamble and in the Recitals hereto shall have the respective meanings specified therein, and the following additional terms shall have the meanings specified:

“At” or “at,” when used with respect to the Property or any property adjacent to the Property, means “on, at, in, under, above or about.”

“Environmental Claim” means any complaint, action, notice, order, claim, investigation, judicial or administrative proceeding or action, or other similar claims or communications from any Person (defined below) involving or alleging any noncompliance with any Environmental Requirement (defined below) or the existence of any unsafe or hazardous condition resulting from or related to the Release (defined below) of any Hazardous Material (defined below).

“Environmental Law” means any and all applicable federal, state or local laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, principles of common law, judgments, permits, licenses or other determinations of any judicial or regulatory authority, now or hereafter in effect, imposing liability, establishing standards of conduct or otherwise relating to protection of the environment (including natural resources, surface water, groundwater, soils, and indoor and ambient air), health and safety, land use matters or the presence, generation, treatment, storage, disposal, Release or threatened Release, transport or handling of any Hazardous Material.
1



“Environmental Requirement” means any Environmental Law, or any other applicable agreement or restriction (including any condition or requirement imposed by any third party or insurance or surety company), now or hereafter in effect, which relates to any matters addressed by any Environmental Law, Hazardous Material, or the prevention of any unsafe or hazardous condition resulting from or related to the Release of any Hazardous Material.

“Hazardous Material” means any substance, material, element, compound, waste or chemical, whether solid, liquid or gaseous, which is defined, listed, classified or otherwise regulated in any way under any Environmental Laws, or any other such substances or conditions (including mold and other mycotoxins or fungi) which may create any unsafe or hazardous condition or pose any threat to health and safety.

“Indemnified Party” means and includes Administrative Agent, Lenders, any Persons owned or controlled by, owning or controlling, or under common control or affiliated with Administrative Agent or Lenders, any participants in the Loan, the directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of Administrative Agent or Lenders and/or such Persons, and the successors and assigns of each of the foregoing Persons.

“Person” means an individual, a corporation, a partnership, a joint venture, a limited liability company, a trust, an unincorporated association, any governmental authority or any other entity.

“Release” means the presence of or any spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping, leaching, seeping, migrating, dumping or disposing of any Hazardous Material (including the abandonment or discarding of barrels, drums, tanks, and other similar containers, containing any Hazardous Material) into the indoor or outdoor environment.

“Transition Date” means the earlier of the following two dates: (a) the date on which the indebtedness and obligations secured by the Deed of Trust have been paid, performed and finally discharged in full (without possibility for disgorgement), and the Deed of Trust has been released or satisfied; or (b) the date on which the lien of the Deed of Trust is fully and finally foreclosed (and all applicable redemption periods have expired) or a conveyance by deed in lieu of such foreclosure is fully and finally effective and possession of the Property has been given to and accepted by Administrative Agent or any other purchaser or grantee free of occupancy and claims to occupancy by Borrower and its heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns; provided that, if such payment, performance, release, foreclosure or conveyance is challenged, in bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise, the Transition Date shall be deemed not to have occurred until such challenge is validly released, dismissed with prejudice or otherwise barred by law from further assertion.

Section 2. Representations and Warranties.

Except as explicitly set forth in Exhibit B which is attached hereto and made a part hereof or in the environmental site assessment(s) of the Property delivered to Administrative Agent in connection with the making of the Loan (“Environmental Reports”), Borrower hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, Administrative Agent, without regard to whether

2



Administrative Agent has or hereafter obtains any knowledge or information related to these matters, as follows:

(a)Use of the Property. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, during the period of Borrower’s ownership or operation of the Property, (i) the Property has not been used as a treatment, storage or disposal site for any Hazardous Material, for any other waste disposal activities, for industrial or manufacturing purposes or for any other use which could give rise to the Release of any Hazardous Material at the Property or which could create any unsafe or hazardous condition resulting from or related to the Release of any Hazardous Material; (ii) there has been no Release at or from the Property at or from any disposal or treatment facility which received Hazardous Materials generated by Borrower or at the Property; and (iii) no active, inactive or abandoned under-ground or above-ground storage tanks or similar containers, or any groundwater or monitoring wells of any kind, are or have been located at the Property.

(b)Environmental Claims and Actions. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no Environmental Claim has been asserted against Borrower or with respect to the Property. Borrower does not have knowledge of any threatened or pending Environmental Claim against Borrower, the Property or any facility that may have received Hazardous Material generated by Borrower or at the Property.

(c)Compliance with Laws. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, during the period of Borrower’s ownership or operation of the Property, the past and present conditions, uses and activities at the Property have complied with all Environmental Requirements. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower holds and has held all licenses, permits and approvals required by any governmental authority under any Environmental Requirement in connection with the ownership or operation of the business at the Property and has timely prepared, submitted and made all filings, reports, plans and notifications required under any Environmental Requirement.

(d)Environmental Insurance. Borrower has never applied for and been denied environmental impairment liability insurance coverage relating to the Property. Borrower has furnished to Administrative Agent a copy of all such environmental insurance policies, and all applications (whether denied, accepted or pending), related to Borrower or the Property. At Administrative Agent’s request, Borrower shall cause Administrative Agent or any Lender to be named as an additional insured on any such policy currently in effect.

Section 3. Covenants and Agreements.

(a)Compliance with Environmental Requirements. Borrower will not cause, knowingly commit, knowingly permit or allow to continue: (i) any noncompliance with any Environmental Requirement by Borrower, any tenant or any other Person, by or with respect to the Property or any use of or condition or activity at the Property; (ii) the generation, storage or use of any Hazardous Material at the Property, except for Hazardous Materials that are commonly legally used, stored or generated (and in such amounts commonly legally used, stored or generated) as a consequence of using the Property for its permitted business purposes, but only so long as the use, storage or generation of such Hazardous Materials is in full compliance with all Environmental Requirements; (iii) the treatment, disposal or unauthorized Release of any Hazardous Material at the Property in any manner; (iv) the installation of any above-ground

3



or below-ground storage tanks or other containers containing Hazardous Materials at the Property; (v) any other activity which could create any unsafe or hazardous condition resulting from or related to Hazardous Materials at the Property in violation of Environmental Laws; or
(vi) the attachment of any environmental lien to the Property. Borrower acknowledges that Hazardous Materials may permanently and materially impair the value and use of the Property and shall perform all actions necessary to protect the fair market value of the Property from impairment as a result of Hazardous Materials.

(b)Notice to Administrative Agent. If, at any time, Borrower becomes aware, or has reasonable cause to believe, that any Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Material has occurred or will occur at the Property, or if Borrower identifies or otherwise becomes aware of any noncompliance or alleged noncompliance with any Environmental Requirement by Borrower or at the Property, any threatened or pending Environmental Claim related to the Property or any event or condition which could result in an Environmental Claim against Borrower or the Property, Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent immediately in writing of such circumstance and shall include a full description of all relevant information. Borrower shall, upon receipt, promptly deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of any report, audit, summary or investigation, of any kind or character, whether prepared by or on behalf of Borrower or by any other Person, related to environmental conditions at the Property or the compliance status of the Property with respect to any Environmental Requirement.

(c)Site Assessments and Information. If Administrative Agent shall ever have reason to believe that any Release or threatened Release of a Hazardous Material in violation of any Environmental Law or any noncompliance with any Environmental Requirement has occurred with respect to the Property, or if any Environmental Claim is made or threatened with respect to the Property, or if an Event of Default (as defined in the Deed of Trust) occurs and is continuing, or following the completion of any corrective action pursuant to Subsection (d) of Section 3, Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days of written request by Administrative Agent and at Borrower’s expense, provide to Administrative Agent an environmental site assessment and compliance audit of the Property which addresses such conditions. Such environmental site assessment and compliance audit shall be performed to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent, in accordance with good environmental engineering practices and by a consulting firm reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. Each report shall be addressed to Administrative Agent. A copy of each report and all supporting documents shall be promptly furnished to Administrative Agent.

(d)Response to Releases, Noncompliance and Environmental Claims. Borrower shall, in compliance with all Environmental Requirements, promptly undertake and complete any and all investigations, testing, abatement, clean up, remediation, response or other corrective action necessary or reasonably recommended to: (i) remove, remediate, clean up or abate any Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Material at or from the Property to the extent required under any Environmental Law; (ii) correct any noncompliance with any Environmental Requirement by Borrower or at the Property; (iii) address any unsafe or hazardous condition at the Property resulting from or related to any Hazardous Material to the extent required under any Environmental Law; or (iv) make an appropriate response to any threatened or pending Environmental Claim related to Borrower or the Property. Any report or other document prepared in response to any of these events shall be addressed to Administrative Agent. A copy

4



of any such report or other document (and all supporting documents) shall be promptly furnished to Administrative Agent.

(e)Administrative Agent’s Rights. If, during Borrower’s ownership of the Property and until the full repayment of the Loan, Administrative Agent has reasonable grounds to believe that any Hazardous Material is present on the Property in violation of any Environmental Requirement, Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, without limitation of Administrative Agent’s rights under the other Loan Documents, and at Borrower’s sole risk and expense, to enter onto the Property upon twenty-four (24) hours prior notice and/or to take, or cause to be taken, such actions as Administrative Agent deems necessary or advisable (but subject to the rights of the tenants under their leases) to investigate, clean up, remediate or otherwise respond to, address or correct any of the issues addressed in this Agreement. Borrower shall reimburse Administrative Agent on demand for the costs of any such action. Administrative Agent agrees, however, that, except in the case of an emergency, Administrative Agent will take such action only after written notice to Borrower of the circumstances and the failure by Borrower, within a reasonable period of time following receipt of such notice, to commence or diligently pursue to completion the appropriate corrective action. Administrative Agent owes no duty of care to protect Borrower or any other Person against, or to inform Borrower or any other Person of, any Hazardous Material or other environmental condition affecting the Property.

Section 4. Indemnification.

(a)Indemnified Matters. Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, defend, release and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and against, and reimburse each Indemnified Party on demand for, any and all losses, costs, liabilities (including strict liabilities), claims (including Environmental Claims), damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with enforcing this provision), penalties or fines of any kind whatsoever paid, incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, any Indemnified Party by any Person in connection with, arising out of or resulting in any way whatsoever from:

(i)the presence, Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Material at or from the Property, on or before the Transition Date; or
(ii)the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement because of any act, omission, event or condition existing or occurring on or before the Transition Date; or
(iii)any violation or potential violation, on or before the Transition Date, of any Environmental Requirement in effect on or before the Transition Date, regardless of whether any act, omission, event or circumstance giving rise to the violation constituted a violation at the time of the occurrence or inception of such act, omission, event or circumstance; or
(iv)any Environmental Claim related to any act, omission, event or condition existing or occurring in connection with the use or occupancy of the Property at any time on or before the Transition Date; or


5



(v)the filing or imposition of any environmental lien against the Property at any time on or before the Transition Date;

and regardless of whether any matter set forth in the foregoing Subsections (i) through (v) was caused by Borrower, a prior owner of the Property, or any other Person whatsoever. Such indemnity shall not apply, however, to a particular Indemnified Party to the extent that the subject of the indemnification is or was caused by or arises out of the sole or gross negligence or willful misconduct of that particular Indemnified Party.

(b)Defense of Claims. Upon demand by an Indemnified Party, Borrower shall diligently defend any Environmental Claim related to any act, omission, event or condition existing or occurring in connection with the use or occupancy of the Property at any time on or before the Transition Date which relates to the Property or is threatened or commenced against such Indemnified Party, all at Borrower’s own cost and expense and by counsel to be approved by Administrative Agent in the exercise of its reasonable judgment. In the alternative, Administrative Agent may elect, at any time and for any reason, to conduct its own defense through counsel selected by Administrative Agent and at the sole cost and expense of Borrower.

Section 5. Release.

Borrower hereby releases and forever discharges, and covenants not to sue, each Indemnified Party from any and all claims, injuries, demands, costs, penalties, attorneys’ fees, costs of litigation and causes of action of any kind whatsoever, now or hereafter in existence, known or unknown, which Borrower may have against any Indemnified Party and which are related to events, omissions or circumstances arising from or related to the Property or matters addressed in this Agreement, including any actions taken pursuant to Subsection (e) of Section 3 or any events described in Subsection (a) of Section 4. The release set forth in this Section 5 shall not apply, however, to a particular Indemnified Party to the extent that the subject of the release is or was caused by or arises out of the sole or gross negligence or willful misconduct of that particular Indemnified Party.

Section 6. Notices.

All notices, requests, consents, demands and other communications required or which any party desires to give hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specifically provided in such other Loan Document, shall be deemed sufficiently given or furnished if delivered by personal delivery, by nationally recognized overnight courier service or by certified United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the party to whom directed at the addresses specified at the end of this Agreement (unless changed by similar notice in writing given by the particular party whose address is to be changed) or by facsimile as provided in Section 9.3 of the Loan Agreement. Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given either at the time of personal delivery or, in the case of courier or mail, as of the date of first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner provided herein, or, in the case of facsimile, upon receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of change of address shall be effective except upon actual receipt; provided that service of a notice or communication required by any applicable statute shall be considered complete when the requirements of that statute are met. This Section shall not be construed in any way to affect

6



or impair any waiver of notice or demand provided in any Loan Document or to require giving of notice or demand to or upon any Person in any situation or for any reason.

Section 7. Release from Liability.

(a)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to the contrary, Borrower shall have the right to terminate its continuing liability under this Agreement upon fulfillment of each of the following conditions to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent:

(i)Administrative Agent shall have received payment in full of all of the payment Obligations (as defined in the Deed of Trust) then due, including but not limited to repayment in full of all principal outstanding under the Notes (as defined in the Deed of Trust) and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, but excluding any of the Obligations which might arise in the future (but as to which no claim has then arisen) under the provisions of this Agreement.
(ii)Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent a current environmental site assessment for the Property and such report does not disclose the existence of any new violation (i.e., not previously disclosed in the Environmental Reports) of any Environmental Law or any Environmental Claims applicable to the Property, which report shall be dated, or last updated, to a date which is not earlier than ten (10) business days prior to the date on which the Deed of Trust was discharged or released of record.
(iii)No Environmental Claim shall be pending or threatened in writing with respect to the Property.
(iv)The Notes have been repaid without Administrative Agent, Lenders or any affiliate thereof ever having taken actual or constructive possession of any of the Property (or any portion thereof), through either: (i) the appointment of a receiver, or (ii) any other exercise of Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies following an Event of Default.

(b)Such termination of Borrower’s liability under this Section 7 shall become effective only upon the delivery by Administrative Agent to Borrower of a specific written acknowledgment of the satisfaction of the foregoing conditions and the termination of such obligations, which acknowledgment Administrative Agent agrees to provide unless Administrative Agent makes the good faith determination that the conditions to such termination have not been satisfied.

Section 8. Miscellaneous.

(a)Consideration. Borrower acknowledges that Administrative Agent has relied and will rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein in closing and funding the Loan and that the execution and delivery of this Agreement is an essential condition but for which Administrative Agent would not close or fund the Loan.


7



(b)Survival. Subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereof, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall be binding upon Borrower and its successors, assigns and legal representatives and shall inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent, Lenders and their successors, assigns and legal representatives and participants in the Loan; and shall not terminate on the Transition Date or upon the release, foreclosure or other termination of the Deed of Trust, but will survive the Transition Date, the payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust, foreclosure of the Deed of Trust or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, the release or termination of the Deed of Trust and any or all of the other Loan Documents, any investigation by or on behalf of Administrative Agent, any bankruptcy or other debtor relief proceeding, or any other event whatsoever.

(c)Rights Cumulative. Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ rights under this Agreement shall be in addition to all rights of Administrative Agent and Lender under the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, and payments by Borrower under this Agreement shall not reduce Borrower’s obligations and liabilities under any of the other Loan Documents. The liability of Borrower or any other Person under this Agreement shall not be limited or impaired in any way by any provision in the other Loan Documents or applicable law limiting Borrower’s or such other Person’s liability or Administrative Agent’s recourse or rights to a deficiency judgment. The liability of such other Person, if applicable, under this Agreement shall not be limited or impaired in any way by any change, extension, release, inaccuracy, breach or failure to perform by any party under the Loan Documents, such other Person’s liability hereunder being direct and primary and not as a guarantor or surety. Borrower hereby waives any rights it might have under C.R.S. §§ 13-50-102 and 103.

(d)Rights Under Environmental Requirements. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall limit or impair any rights or remedies of Lender or any other Indemnified Party against Borrower or any other Person under any Environmental Requirement or otherwise at law or in equity, including any rights of contribution or indemnification.

(e)No Waiver. No delay or omission by Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any right under this Agreement shall impair any such right nor shall it be construed to be a waiver thereof. No waiver of any single breach or default under this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default. Any waiver, consent or approval under this Agreement must be in writing to be effective.

(f)Invalid Provisions. A determination that any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision and a determination that the application of any provision of this Agreement to any Person or circumstance is illegal or unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to other Persons or circumstances.

(g)Construction. Whenever in this Agreement the singular number is used, the same shall include plural where appropriate, and vice versa; and words of any gender in this Agreement shall include each other gender where appropriate. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall be disregarded in the interpretation hereof. The words “include” and “including” shall be interpreted as if followed by the words “without limitation.”


8



(h)Applicable Law; Forum. The laws of the State of Colorado and applicable United States federal law shall govern the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the validity, enforcement and interpretation hereof. Borrower hereby irrevocably submits generally and unconditionally for itself and in respect of its property to the jurisdiction of any state court or any United States federal court, sitting in the State of Colorado and to the jurisdiction of any state court or any United States federal court, sitting in the state in which any of the Property is located, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Loan. Borrower hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that Borrower may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any such court and any claim that any such court is an inconvenient forum. Borrower hereby agrees and consents that, in addition to any methods of service or process provided for under applicable law, all service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding in any state court or any United States federal court sitting in the state(s) specified above may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, directed to Borrower at the address for notice to Borrower stated below, or at a subsequent address of which Administrative Agent received actual notice from Borrower in accordance with the Loan Documents, and service so made shall be complete five (5) days after the same shall have been so mailed. Nothing herein shall affect the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve process in any manner permitted by law or limit the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against Borrower in any other court or jurisdiction.

(i)Counterparts; Modification. This Agreement has been executed in a number of identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original for all purposes and all of which constitute, collectively, one agreement. This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing intended for that purpose executed jointly by an authorized representative of each party hereto.

(j)Limited Recourse Provision. Administrative Agent shall have no recourse against, nor shall there be any personal liability to, the members of Borrower, or to any shareholders, members, partners, beneficial interest holders or any other entity or person in the ownership (directly or indirectly) of Borrower with respect to the obligations of Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan. For purposes of clarification, in no event shall the above language limit, reduce or otherwise affect Borrower’s liability or obligations under the Loan Documents, Guarantor’s liability or obligations under the Guaranty, or Administrative Agent’s right to exercise any rights or remedies against any collateral securing the Loan.

Section 9. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY “ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIM” AS DEFINED IN SECTION 1. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS, AND BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS HEREBY REPRESENT THAT NO REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT OR OPINION HAVE BEEN MADE BY ANY PERSON OR ENTITY TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR TO IN ANY WAY MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT. BORROWER,


9



ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS ARE EACH HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION 9 IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, OR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH COUNSEL.

THIS AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
