C. The effectiveness of the Sublease is subject to the consent of Landlord.
D. Tenant and Subtenant desire to obtain the consent of Landlord to the Transaction.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, Landlord hereby grants its consent to the Transaction subject to and upon the following express terms and conditions, to which Tenant and Subtenant hereby agree:
1.All capitalized terms used in this Consent shall have the same meaning given such terms in the Master Lease, unless otherwise defined in this Consent.
2.Neither the Master Lease nor this Consent shall be deemed to grant Subtenant any rights whatsoever against Landlord other than rights against Landlord resulting from Landlord’s breach of its obligations under this Consent. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit remedies of Tenant under the Master Lease or remedies of Subtenant against parties other than Landlord.
3.Tenant and Subtenant represent and warrant to Landlord that the Sublease, attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein, is a true, correct, and complete copy of the Sublease, that the Sublease has not been modified or amended and that there exists no agreements between Tenant and Subtenant relating to the Sublease or the Subleased Premises or with respect to the sale of any fixtures, furnishings, equipment or personal property located upon the Subleased Premises.
4.This Consent shall not release Tenant or Subtenant from any existing or future duty, obligation or liability to Landlord pursuant to the Master Lease, nor shall this Consent
change, modify or amend the Master Lease in any manner and Tenant shall be and remain fully and
primarily liable and responsible for the due keeping, performance and observance of all the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions set forth in the Master Lease on the part of Tenant to be kept, performed and observed and for the payment of the Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums now and/or hereafter becoming payable thereunder, including but not limited to, adjustments of rent and any and all charges for additional services or utilities supplied or furnished in, to or in connection with the Premises or the Subleased Premises or any part thereof, whether for or at the request of Tenant or Subtenant (collectively referred to herein as “Rent”). The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from Subtenant or any third party shall not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of the obligation of Tenant to pay Rent as provided in the Master Lease. The performance of any obligation required of Tenant under the Master Lease by Subtenant or any third party shall not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of the duty of Tenant to perform such obligation.
5.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Sublease, neither the Sublease nor this Consent shall: (a) operate as a consent to, or the approval or the ratification by Landlord of, any of the provisions contained in the Sublease, or (b) be construed to modify, waive, impair or affect (i) any of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions or conditions contained in the Master Lease, (ii) any of Tenant’s obligations under the Master Lease or (iii) any breach or default by Tenant in the performance or observance of its obligations under the Master Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Sublease, neither the Sublease nor this Consent shall (A) enlarge or increase Landlord’s obligations or liability, or (B) reduce or decrease Landlord’s rights, under the Master Lease or otherwise. Landlord is not a party to the Sublease and, therefore, is not bound by or in any way estopped by the Sublease or any of its terms. Landlord shall have no responsibility or obligation to Subtenant for the performance by Tenant of its obligations under the Sublease. Similarly, Landlord shall have no responsibility or obligation to Subtenant for the performance of any obligations Landlord may owe to Tenant under the Master Lease. Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that Subtenant shall not have the right to exercise any renewal, expansion, right of first refusal or other similar options or rights afforded to Tenant under the Master Lease.
6.This Consent shall not be deemed Landlord’s consent to any further assignment or subleases and Tenant and Subtenant acknowledge and agree that the provisions of the Master Lease shall apply to any proposed assignment of the Sublease or subletting of all or any part of the Subleased Premises as if such request for Landlord’s consent to such assignment or subletting were a proposed assignment or subletting being made by Tenant under the Master Lease. In such event, Landlord shall have the same rights with respect to Subtenant under the Master Lease including without limitation, the right to receive the amounts described in Article 14 of the Master Lease, as Landlord would have with respect to Tenant if Tenant were requesting Landlord’s consent to an assignment or subletting under the same circumstances and upon the same terms and conditions.
7. In the event of a Master Lease Termination (as hereinafter defined) prior to the termination of the Sublease, at Landlord’s option, Subtenant agrees to attorn to Landlord and to recognize Landlord as Subtenant’s landlord under the Sublease, upon the terms and conditions and at the rental rate specified in the Sublease, and for the then remaining term of the Sublease, except that Landlord shall not be bound by any provision of the Sublease which in any way increases Landlord’s duties, obligations or liabilities to Subtenant beyond those owed to Tenant under the Master Lease. Subtenant agrees to execute and deliver at any time and from time to time, upon request of Landlord, any instruments which may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such attornment. Landlord shall not (i) be liable to Subtenant for any act, omission or breach of the Sublease by Tenant, (ii) be subject to any offsets or defenses which Subtenant might have against Tenant, (iii) be bound by any amendment or modification of the sublease made without Landlord’s prior written consent, (iv) be bound by any Rent which Subtenant might have paid in advance to Tenant, or (v) be bound to honor any rights of Subtenant in any security deposit made with Tenant except to the extent Tenant has turned over such security deposit to Landlord. Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord’s sole discretion, to elect not to have Subtenant attorn to Landlord and, in this event, the Sublease shall be deemed terminated on the date thirty (30) days following Master Lease Termination such that Subtenant shall have a reasonable opportunity to vacate the Subleased Premises, and Landlord shall have no obligation to permit Subtenant to continue to occupy the Premises thereafter. Absent a specific written notice by Landlord, Landlord shall be deemed to have waived such election and the Sublease shall terminate.
(b)“Master Lease Termination” means any event, which by voluntary or involuntary act or by operation of law, might cause or permit the Master Lease to be terminated, expired, canceled, foreclosed against, or otherwise come to an end, including but not limited to (1) a default by Tenant under the Master Lease of any of the terms or provisions thereof; (2) foreclosure proceedings brought by the holder of any mortgage or trust deed to which the Master Lease is subject; (3) the rejection of the Master Lease in bankruptcy by Tenant; or (4) the termination of Tenant’s leasehold estate by dispossession proceeding or otherwise. Prior to the Master Lease Termination for any reason, the acceptance of any payment on account of Rent from Subtenant shall in no manner whatsoever be deemed an attornment by Subtenant to Landlord, or a recognition of the Subtenant by Landlord for charges incurred by or imposed upon Subtenant for services rendered and materials supplied to the Subleased Premises.
8.Tenant hereby assigns and transfers to Landlord all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in the Sublease and all rentals and income arising therefrom, subject however to the following terms of this Paragraph 8:
(a)Landlord, by executing this Consent, agrees that until a default shall occur in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under the Master Lease, Tenant shall receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing under the Sublease. However, if Tenant shall default in the performance of any of its obligations under the Master Lease and the Master Lease is terminated or Landlord reenters the Premises, then Landlord may, at its option, receive and collect, directly from Subtenant, all rent then owing and thereafter becoming due and payable under the Sublease as such rent shall become due and payable under the Sublease. All such rent payable
under the Sublease so collected by Landlord shall be applied against any Rents payable by Tenant to Landlord under the Master Lease. So long as the Master Lease remains in effect, any excess amounts collected under the Sublease, after discharge of all of Tenant’s obligations under the Master Lease, shall be refunded promptly by Landlord to Tenant. Landlord shall not, by reason of this assignment of the Sublease nor by reason of the collection of rents from Subtenant, be deemed liable to Subtenant for any failure of Tenant to perform and comply with Tenant’s obligations under the Master Lease or the Sublease. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create any right of Tenant to the refund of any rents or other amounts paid or payable to Landlord by Subtenant arising accruing after the expiration or earlier termination for any reason of the Master Lease.
(b)Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Subtenant, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 8(a) hereof, upon receipt of any written notice from Landlord stating that a default exists in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under the Master Lease and that Landlord has terminated the Master Lease or has reentered the Subleased Premises, to pay to Landlord the rents and other amounts due and to become due under the Sublease as such rents and other amounts shall become due and payable under the Sublease. Tenant agrees that Subtenant shall have the right to rely upon any such statement and request from Landlord, and that Subtenant shall pay such rents and other amounts to Landlord without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such default exists and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Tenant to the contrary and Tenant shall have no right or claim hereunder against Subtenant for any such rents or other amounts so paid by Subtenant. Such payments to Landlord shall satisfy and discharge Subtenant’s obligation for the payment of rent and other amounts under the Sublease to the full extent of such payments made to Landlord.
9.The Sublease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the Master Lease, and to all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of the Master Lease and this Consent. Subtenant acknowledges that it has read and has knowledge of all of the terms, provisions, rules and regulations of the Master Lease and Subtenant hereby agrees to be bound and abide by the terms the Master Lease (for the period covered by the Sublease and to the extent of the Subleased Premises), and Subtenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in connection with Subtenant’s use or occupancy of the Subleased Premises which would violate any of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of the Master Lease.
10.Notwithstanding anything in the Master Lease or the Sublease to the contrary, no alterations, additions (electrical, mechanical or otherwise) or physical changes shall be made to the Subleased Premises, or any part thereof, without Landlord’s prior written consent in each instance, which consent shall be granted or withheld in accordance with the provisions of the Master Lease; and in the event Landlord consents thereto, all such alterations, additions or physical changes shall be in compliance with the provisions of the Master Lease and the Sublease, respectively, relating to such alterations, additions or physical changes, and with all current rules and regulations of Landlord which are applicable to such work. In no event shall this Consent be construed as the consent of Landlord to the performance of any alterations, additions or physical changes to the Premises or the Subleased Premises.
11.Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable review and processing fees, as well as any reasonable professional fees incurred by Landlord in connection with this Consent.
12.Tenant and Subtenant represent and warrant to Landlord that no compensation or consideration of any kind other than as set forth in the Sublease has been, or will be, paid by Subtenant to Tenant in connection with the Sublease.
13.Tenant and Subtenant jointly and severally represent and agree that the term of the Sublease will expire and terminate prior to the day of the expiration or termination of the term of the Master Lease.
14.Tenant and Subtenant agree that (i) Landlord is not a party to the Sublease and is not bound by the provisions thereof, (ii) Landlord has not, and will not, review or pass upon any of the provisions of the Sublease, and (iii) the Sublease will not be modified or amended in any way without the prior written consent of Landlord. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a consent to, or approval or satisfaction by Landlord of any of the provisions of the Sublease, but is merely a consent to the act of subletting by Tenant to Subtenant.
15.This Consent shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of (i) the Master Lease or this Consent and (ii) the Sublease, the provisions of the Master Lease or this Consent shall prevail unaffected by the provisions of the Sublease. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Consent and the provisions of the Master Lease, the provisions of the Master Lease shall prevail.
16.This Consent shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties’ respective successors and assigns, subject to all agreements and restrictions contained in the Master Lease, the Sublease and herein with respect to subleasing, assignment, or other transfer. The agreements contained herein constitute the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior agreements, written or oral, inconsistent herewith. No amendment, modification or change therein will be effective unless Landlord shall have given its prior written consent thereto. This Consent may be amended only in writing, signed by all parties hereto.
17.Tenant shall be entirely responsible for any and all commissions, fees and costs for any brokers, finders, agents or other persons with respect to the Sublease. Tenant and Subtenant agree to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any loss, cost, expense, damage or liability, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred as a result of a claim by any person or entity (i) that it is entitled to a commission, finder’s fee or like payment in connection with the Sublease or (ii) relating to or arising out of the Sublease or any related agreements or dealings.
18.Wherever Tenant, as tenant under the Master Lease, has agreed to indemnify the Landlord, so in the Sublease, Subtenant shall likewise indemnify Tenant and Landlord, solely with respect to matters related to Subtenant or the Subleased Premises arising during the
Sublease term. Such obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease. Subtenant agrees to maintain the same insurance required to be carried by the Tenant under the Master Lease, naming Landlord as an additional insured under Subtenant’s policies of insurance, and Subtenant further agrees to waive subrogation in favor of Landlord to the same extent required of the Tenant under said Master Lease provided that Landlord agrees to waive subrogation in favor of Subtenant to the same extent Landlord waives the same in favor of Tenant under said Master Lease. Subtenant hereby releases Landlord to the extent of such insurance coverage required to be held under the terms of the Master Lease and the Sublease with respect to any claim which it might otherwise have against Tenant or Landlord with respect to the Subleased Premises or Subtenant’s property contained therein. Subtenant further agrees to provide a certificate of insurance which complies with these requirements to Landlord no later than fifteen (15) days following the date hereof.
19.Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered in accordance with the terms of Section 29.18 of the Master Lease, except that notices to Landlord shall be addressed to Landlord at the addresses set forth in Section 29.18 of the Master Lease; notices to Tenant shall be addressed to Tenant as follows: Arlo Technologies, Inc., 2200 Faraday Ave., Suite 150, Carlsbad, CA 92008, Attn: Legal Department; and notices to Subtenant shall be addressed to Subtenant as follows: Vocera Communications, Inc, 525 Race Street, San Jose, California 95126; Attn: General Counsel, or to such other address as any party may designate to the other parties by notice given in accordance with Section 29.18 of the Master Lease and this Paragraph 19 of this Consent.
20.This Consent shall not be binding upon Landlord unless and until it is signed by Landlord. Within ten (10) days of the Commencement Date, Tenant or Subtenant shall deliver to Landlord written notice that the Commencement Date has occurred.
21.This Consent may be executed and delivered in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original copy of this Sublease and all of which, when taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same document. Facsimile, documents executed, scanned and transmitted electronically and electronic signatures shall be deemed original signatures for purposes of this Consent, with such facsimile, scanned and electronic signatures having the same legal effect as original signatures. Pages may be executed and transmitted by facsimile or electronically and each of will be deemed an original. The parties agree that this Consent may be accepted, executed or agreed to through the use of an electronic signature in accordance with the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (“E-Sign Act”), Title 15, United States Code, Sections 7001 et seq., the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act (“UETA”) and any applicable state law.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge and agree that Subtenant shall not pay Monthly Base Rent (the “Abated Base Rent”) for the Premises for first (1st), thirteenth (13th), twenty-fifth (25th), thirty-seventh (37th) and forty-ninth (49th) full calendar month after the Commencement Date (the “Base Rent Abatement Period”) of the Term hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at any time during the Term, Subtenant is in uncured default under the terms of this Sublease, then (i) any remaining right to the Abated Base Rent during the Base Rent Abatement Period shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, (ii) Monthly Base Rent for any remaining portion of the Base Rent Abatement Period shall be payable in accordance with the terms of this Sublease without regard to the terms of this Section 3.2, and (iii) Sublandlord shall be entitled to recover, and Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, the unamortized portion of the Abated Base Rent as of the date of termination as damages hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, Subtenant shall pay Subtenant’s Pro Rata Share of Additional Rent with respect to the Premises during the Base Rent Abatement Period (including, without limitation, Direct Expenses, Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses).
3.3 Advanced Payment of Base Rent; Payment of Monthly Base Rent.
3.3.1 Within three (3) business days after mutual execution of this Sublease, Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord as advance payment (a) an amount equal to $167,317.30, which amount shall be applied to the Base Rent for the second month of the Term, and (b) an amount equal to $56,031.84, which amount shall be applied to Subtenant’s Pro Rata Share of Additional Rent for the first month of the Term.
3.3.2 Monthly Base Rent shall be paid without deduction or offset on the first day of each month of the Term. Attached hereto as Exhibit E is a copy of the rental statement from Landlord for Base Rent and Additional Rent for the month of April, 2021. If the Term does not begin on the first day of a calendar month or end on the last day of a calendar
month, the monthly Base Rent for any such partial month shall be prorated by multiplying the monthly Base Rent by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of the partial calendar month included in the Term and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the full calendar month. All Rent (as defined below) shall be payable in lawful money of the United States to Sublandlord at the address stated herein or to such other persons or at such other places as Sublandlord may designate in writing.

All Rent (as defined below) shall be payable in lawful money of the United States to Sublandlord at the address stated herein or to such other persons or at such other places as Sublandlord may designate in writing.
3.4 Additional Rent: Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses.
3.4.1 Subtenant shall, during the Term hereof concurrently with the payment of Monthly Base Rent, pay Subtenant’s Pro Rata Share (defined below) of Direct Expenses, Operating Expenses, and Tax Expenses (including the obligation specified in Section 4.5 of the Master Lease) with respect to the Premises in accordance with the Master Lease. For purposes of this Sublease and as used herein, the term “Subtenant’s Pro Rata Share” shall be one hundred percent (100%).
3.5 Rent. As used in this Sublease, the term “Rent” shall mean, collectively, Monthly Base Rent for the Premises, Additional Rent and all other sums payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord under this Sublease, whether or not expressly designated as “rent”, all of which are deemed and designated as rent pursuant to the terms of this Sublease, except as expressly set forth in this Sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Rent” under this Sublease shall not include, and Subtenant shall have no responsibility or liability for (i) the payment of any cost, expense, and/or charge arising from Sublandlord’s breach of the Master Lease, or (ii) costs arising from Sublandlord’s failure to perform any condition or obligation under the Master Lease.
4. Utilities and Services. Subject to the terms of the Master Lease, should the Premises be separately metered for water, electricity, natural gas or other utilities serving the Premises, all such utilities used by Subtenant in the Premises (e.g., water, electricity and natural gas, as applicable) shall be paid for by Subtenant by separate charge billed by the applicable utility company and payable directly by Subtenant. Should the Premises not be separately metered, Subtenant shall pay Subtenant’s Pro Rata Share of any such utilities and services billed to Sublandlord provided to the Premises. Utility service to the Premises may be furnished by one or more companies. To the extent provided in the Master Lease, Landlord shall have the exclusive right to reasonably designate any company providing utility service to the Premises. Any utilities paid for directly by Subtenant shall not be included as Operating Expenses and, accordingly, shall not be passed-through for payment by Subtenant. Subtenant shall be responsible for paying for the actual cost of any excess utility consumption by Subtenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary specified in the Master Lease or this Sublease, Subtenant shall not install equipment of any kind or nature whatsoever nor engage in any practice or use which will necessitate any changes, replacements or additions to, or in the use of,
the water system, heating system, plumbing system, air conditioning system, electrical system, floor load capacities, or other mechanical or structural system of the Premises, unless otherwise permitted under the Master Lease and in such case in accordance with the terms thereof.
5. Security Deposit. Within three (3) business days after mutual execution of this Sublease, Subtenant shall deposit with Sublandlord an amount equal to $785,433.06 (the
“Security Deposit”) which may be in the form of cash which shall be held by Sublandlord as security for the faithful performance by Subtenant of all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease to be kept and performed by Subtenant. If Subtenant defaults beyond any applicable notice grace and/or cure period with respect to any provision of this Sublease, Sublandlord may use any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent or any other sum in default, or to compensate Sublandlord for any other loss or damage which Sublandlord may incur, spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Subtenant’s default, or to compensate Sublandlord for any other loss or damage which Sublandlord may suffer by reason of Subtenant’s default. If any portion is so used, Subtenant shall within three (3) business days after written demand therefor, deposit with Sublandlord an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Subtenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Sublease. Subtenant shall not be entitled to interest on such deposit. The Security Deposit shall not be deemed to be trust funds and may be commingled with other funds of Sublandlord. The Security Deposit or any remaining balance thereof shall be returned to Subtenant within thirty (30) days after termination of this Sublease, after deducting for damages (if any) permitted under this Sublease.

Therefore, for the purposes of incorporation in this Sublease, (1) wherever in the Master Lease the word “Landlord” is used it shall be deemed to mean the Sublandlord herein, (2) wherever in the Master Lease the word “Tenant” is used it shall be deemed to mean the Subtenant herein, and (3) wherever in the Master Lease the words “Lease”, “Premises”, “Rent” or “Term” are used, such terms shall be deemed to mean this Sublease, the Premises, the Rent hereunder and the Term hereunder, respectively.

Any non-liability, release, indemnity or hold harmless provision in the Master Lease for the benefit of Landlord or Tenant that is incorporated herein by reference shall be deemed to inure to the benefit of Sublandlord and Landlord, on the one hand, and Subtenant, on the other hand, and any other person intended to be benefitted by said provision, for the purpose of incorporation by reference in this Sublease.

Therefore, for the purposes of incorporation in this Sublease, (1) wherever in the Master Lease the word “Landlord” is used it shall be deemed to mean the Sublandlord herein, (2) wherever in the Master Lease the word “Tenant” is used it shall be deemed to mean the Subtenant herein, and (3) wherever in the Master Lease the words “Lease”, “Premises”, “Rent” or “Term” are used, such terms shall be deemed to mean this Sublease, the Premises, the Rent hereunder and the Term hereunder, respectively. The time limits contained in the Master Lease for the giving of notices, making of demands or performing of any act, condition or covenant on the part of the tenant thereunder, or for the exercise by the tenant thereunder of any right, remedy or option, are changed for the purposes of incorporation herein by reference by shortening the same in each instance by one (1) day, so that in each instance Subtenant shall have one (1) day less time to observe or perform hereunder than Sublandlord has as the tenant under the Master Lease unless the applicable notice, grace or cure period under the Master Lease is five (5) days or less, in which case such period shall not be shortened. Any non-liability, release, indemnity or hold harmless provision in the Master Lease for the benefit of Landlord or Tenant that is incorporated herein by reference shall be deemed to inure to the benefit of Sublandlord and Landlord, on the one hand, and Subtenant, on the other hand, and any other person intended to be benefitted by said provision, for the purpose of incorporation by reference in this Sublease. Any right of Landlord under the Master Lease of access or inspection, any right of Landlord under the Master Lease to do work in the Premises and any right of Landlord under the Master Lease in respect of rules and regulations, which is incorporated herein by reference, shall be deemed to inure to the benefit of Sublandlord, Landlord, and any other person intended to be benefitted by said provision, for the purpose of incorporation by reference in this Sublease.

Sublandlord will not be responsible for any repairs in connection with any failure of the Warranty unless Sublandlord is notified in writing by Subtenant no later than the expiration of the Warranty Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Lease to the contrary, in no event will repairs resulting from any of the following be covered by the Warranty: (i) the negligent or willful acts or omissions of, or misuse or abuse of any of the Warrantied Items, by Subtenant or its agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees, (ii) any improvements or alterations constructed by Subtenant, or (iii) any acts or omissions by Subtenant or its agents, employees, contractors, licensees, or invitees which solely voids or limits Sublandlord’s warranties.
18.1.2 During the Term, at no charge to Subtenant, Subtenant shall be permitted to use the existing modular and office furniture and cabling located in the Premises and described in more particular detail in Exhibit C attached hereto (the “FF&E”). Should Subtenant, in Subtenant’s sole discretion, determine that any of the FF&E is not required by Subtenant for the conduct of Subtenant’s business from the Premises, Subtenant may deliver written notice to Sublandlord of such determination together with an itemized list of any FF&E that is not so required (the “Excluded FF&E”), at least thirty (30) days before the Early Access Period, and Sublandlord shall, at Sublandlord’s sole cost and expense, remove such Excluded FF&E from the Premises within thirty (30) days after such notice from Subtenant.

Subtenant shall use the FF&E only for the purposes for which such FF&E is intended and shall be responsible for the proper maintenance, care and repair of the Remaining Furniture and Cabling, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense.

Subtenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, be responsible for the removal of the
FF&E upon the termination or expiration of this Sublease and its surrender of the Premises to the extent such removal is required by the Master Lease.

ARTICLE 1
PREMISES, BUILDING, PROJECT, AND COMMON AREAS
1.1 Premises, Building, Project and Common Areas.
1.1.1 The Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the premises set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary (the “Premises”). The outline of the Premises is set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and the Premises has the number of rentable square feet as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary. The parties hereto agree that the lease of the Premises is upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth, and Tenant covenants as a material part of the consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each and all of such terms, covenants and conditions by it to be kept and performed and that this Lease is made upon the condition of such performance. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the purpose of Exhibit A is to show the approximate location of the Premises in the “Building,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.2, below, only, and such Exhibit is not meant to constitute an agreement, representation or warranty as to the construction of the Premises, the precise area thereof or the specific location of the “Common Areas,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.3, below, or the elements thereof or of the accessways to the Premises or the “Project,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.2, below. Except as specifically set forth in this Lease and in the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Tenant Work Letter”), Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement work or services related to the improvement of the Premises. Tenant also acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises, the Building or the Project or with respect to the suitability of any of the foregoing for the conduct of Tenant’s business, except as specifically set forth in this Lease and the Tenant Work Letter. The taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant after substantial completion of the Landlord Work shall conclusively establish that the Premises and the Building were at such time in good and sanitary order, condition and repair. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense and with no pass-through to Tenant, repair latent defects in the Base Building, Base, Shell, and Core and in the Landlord Work provided that Tenant provides written notice to Landlord of any such latent defects on or before the date that is six (6) months after the Commencement Date. As used in this Lease, a “latent defect” is a design or construction defect or error in the Base Building, Base, Shell and Core and in the Landlord Work which is not apparent upon an ordinary and reasonable inspection of the Premises. Subject to (a) all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including the Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit D, (b) emergency situations or other matters outside the reasonable control of Landlord, and (c) the requirements of applicable laws, Tenant shall have access to and use of the Project 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year throughout the Lease term.
1.1.2 The Building and The Project. The Premises are a part of the building set forth in Section 2.1 of the Summary (the “Building”). The Building is part of an office project known as “The Orchards.” The term “Project,” as used in this Lease, shall mean (i) the Building and the Common Areas, (ii) the land (which is improved with landscaping,
subterranean parking facilities and other improvements) upon which the Building and the Common Areas are located, and (iii) an additional office building adjacent to the building at 3000 Orchard Parkway (the “Adjacent Building”).
1.1.3 Common Areas. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use in common with other tenants in the Project, and subject to the rules and regulations referred to in Article 5 of this Lease, those portions of the Project which are provided, from time to time, for use in common by Landlord, Tenant and any other tenants of the Project (such areas, together with such other portions of the Project designated by Landlord, in its discretion, including certain areas designated for the exclusive use of certain tenants, or to be shared by Landlord and certain tenants, are collectively referred to herein as the “Common Areas”). The Common Areas shall consist of the “Project Common Areas” and the “Building Common Areas.” The term “Project Common Areas,” as used in this Lease, shall mean the portion of the Project designated as such by Landlord. The term “Building Common Areas,” as used in this Lease, shall mean the portions of the Common Areas located within the Building designated as such by Landlord, if any. The manner in which the Common Areas are maintained and operated shall be at the sole discretion of Landlord, provided that Landlord shall maintain and operate the same in a manner consistent with that of other first-class R&D/office buildings in San Jose, California, which buildings are comparable in quality of appearance, services, and amenities (the “Comparable Buildings”) and the use thereof shall be subject to such rules, regulations and restrictions as Landlord may make from time to time. Landlord reserves the right to close temporarily, make alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of the Project and the Common Areas; provided that in the event of any such Common Area closure, change, alteration or modification, except in emergency situations as reasonably determined by Landlord, Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to perform the same in a manner that is reasonably designed to minimize interference with Tenant’s access to and permitted use of the Premises consistent with Comparable Buildings.
1.1.4 Courtyard Use. Subject to the terms of this Section 1.1.4 and all applicable laws, Tenant shall have, in addition to Tenant’s non-exclusive right to use the Courtyard (as defined below), the exclusive right upon not less than thirty (30) days’ notice to Landlord (subject to availability, as reasonably determined by Landlord), to request to utilize the courtyard area owned by Landlord located outside of the Building (the “Courtyard”), to prepare for, host and clean-up events for Tenant’s employees and/or clients (each such event, a “Special Event”). Such notice by Tenant (a “Special Event Notice”) shall include the nature of the type of event to be held, the anticipated number of people attending, the date and duration of the event, and any other information reasonably requested by Landlord. Tenant shall not be entitled to conduct more than two (2) Special Events (which may or may not be consecutive in Tenant’s sole discretion) in any calendar month. During a Special Event, Tenant’s use of the Courtyard shall be exclusive, to the extent permitted by applicable laws. Landlord may allow other tenants of the Project to use the Courtyard on an exclusive basis comparable to that of Tenant’s rights under this Section 1.1.4. Any Special Event to be conducted by Tenant hereunder shall be consistent with the nature of the Building as a first-class office building project and shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall grant or deny its consent (and include any reasonably required
condition(s) to Tenant’s use) within five (5) business days following receipt of a Special Event Notice. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have the right to withhold approval of Tenant’s use of the Courtyard in the event that Landlord determines that Tenant’s use thereof is reasonably anticipated to materially interfere with other tenants or occupants of the Project reasonable use of or access to their premises. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant’s use of the Courtyard for any Special Event shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) any such use shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable rules, regulations and requirements (including, without limitation, with respect to use,
security, noise restrictions, and cleaning requirements) and shall be subject to all applicable laws; (ii) Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for the removal of all trash and debris created as a result of any such use, and shall restore the Courtyard to the condition existing prior to the Special Event immediately following the Special Event; (iii) any Special Event shall not unreasonably interfere with any other tenant’s use of and access to the Building, the Adjacent Building or the Project’s parking facilities; (iv) Tenant’s indemnification and insurance obligations under the Lease shall be fully applicable to Tenant’s use of the Courtyard, and (v) to the extent that Tenant or Tenant’s contractor sells or serves any alcoholic beverages in connection with the Special Event, Tenant or Tenant’s contractor shall maintain host liquor liability coverage with combined single limits of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence covering any Claims (as defined below) relating to the sale, use or giving away of any alcoholic or other intoxicating liquor or beverage, which Claims could be asserted against Landlord or any Landlord Parties (as defined below). In the event that the insurance carried by Tenant in accordance with the terms this Lease would not cover a particular event, activity or other use of the Courtyard by Tenant, Tenant shall procure (or require Tenant’s contractor to procure) additional reasonable liability insurance as reasonably required to cover such event, activity or use to commercially reasonable levels (based upon the nature of the event, activity or use), as mutually and reasonably agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant.
1.2 Rentable Square Feet of Premises, Building, and Project. For purposes of this Lease, “rentable square feet” shall be calculated pursuant to Landlord’s standard method of measuring floor area in the Building, provided that the rentable square footage of the Building shall include all of (and the rentable square footage of the Premises therefore shall include a portion of) the square footage of the ground floor common areas located within the Building and the common area and occupied space of the portion of the Building or Project dedicated to the service of the Building. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, the recital of the rentable area herein above set forth is for descriptive purposes only. Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease or receive any adjustment or rebate of any Base Rent or Additional Rent (as hereinafter defined) payable hereunder if said recital is incorrect. Tenant has inspected the Premises and is fully familiar with the scope and size thereof and agrees to pay the full Base Rent and Additional Rent set forth herein in consideration for the use and occupancy of said space, regardless of the actual number of square feet contained therein. In the event that the rentable area of the Premises, the Building and/or the Project shall hereafter change due to subsequent alterations and/or other modifications to the Premises, the Building and/or the Project, the rentable area of the Premises, the Building and/or the Project, as the case may be, shall be appropriately adjusted as of the date of such alteration and/or other modification, based
upon the written verification by Landlord’s space planner of such revised rentable area based on such physical change. In the event of any such adjustment to the rentable area of the Premises, the Building and/or the Project due to a physical change, all amounts, percentages and figures appearing or referred to in this Lease based upon such rentable area shall be modified in accordance with such determination; provided, however, in no event shall the amount of the “Rent” or the “Letter of Credit” as those terms are defined in Article 4 and Article 21 of this Lease, respectively, be increased as a result of any such adjustment.
ARTICLE 2
LEASE TERM; DELIVERY
2.1 Lease Term. The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the date of this Lease. The term of this Lease (the “Lease Term”) shall be as set forth in Section 3.1 of the Summary, as the same may be extended in accordance with the Extension Option Rider attached hereto as Exhibit G and shall commence on the date set forth in Section 3.2 of the Summary (the “Commencement Date”), and shall terminate on the date set forth in Section 3.3 of the Summary (the “Expiration Date”) unless this Lease is sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Lease Year” shall mean each consecutive twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term; provided, however, that the first Lease Year shall commence on the Commencement Date and end on the last day of the eleventh full calendar month thereafter and the second and each succeeding Lease Year shall commence on the first day of the next calendar month; and further provided that the last Lease Year shall end on the Expiration Date. At any reasonable time after the Commencement Date (but in any event not to exceed ninety (90) days after the Commencement Date), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a notice in the form as set forth in Exhibit C, attached hereto (the “Notice of Lease Term Dates”), as a confirmation of the information set forth therein, which Tenant shall either respond to or execute and return to Landlord within five (5) days of receipt thereof, and in the event Tenant executes and returns such Notice of Lease Dates the dates set forth therein shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant. Failure of Tenant to timely respond to or execute and deliver the Notice of Lease Term Dates shall constitute an acknowledgment by Tenant that the statements included in such notice are true and correct, without exception.
2.2 Delivery. Landlord shall deliver the Premises on the Delivery Date (as defined in Section 3.4 of the Summary). If Landlord does not deliver the Premises within thirty (30) days of the Delivery Date, then this Lease may be terminated by Tenant by written notice to Landlord, and if so terminated by Tenant: (a) the Letter of Credit, if any, shall be returned to Tenant within five (5) business days of such termination, (b) all prepaid Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses paid pursuant to Article 3 shall be fully refunded to Tenant within five (5) business days of such termination, and (c) neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights, duties or obligations under this Lease, except with respect to provisions which expressly survive termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 3
BASE RENT
Tenant shall pay, without prior notice or demand, to Landlord or Landlord’s agent at the management office of the Project, or, at Landlord’s option, at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, by a check for currency which, at the time of payment, is legal tender for private or public debts in the United States of America, base rent (“Base Rent”) as set forth in Section 4 of the Summary, payable in equal monthly installments as set forth in Section 4 of the Summary in advance on or before the first day of each and every calendar month during the Lease Term, without any setoff or deduction whatsoever (except as otherwise provided herein). For purposes of Rent adjustment under the Lease, the number of months is measured from
the first day of the calendar month in which the Commencement Date falls. The Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses (as those terms are defined below) for the first full month of the Lease Term which occurs after the expiration of any free rent period shall be paid at the time of Tenant’s execution of this Lease. If any Rent payment date (including the Commencement Date) falls on a day of the month other than the first day of such month or if any payment of Rent is for a period which is shorter than one month, the Rent for any fractional month shall accrue on a daily basis for the period from the date such payment is due to the end of such calendar month or to the end of the Lease Term at a rate per day which is equal to 1/365 of the applicable annual Rent. All other payments or adjustments required to be made under the terms of this Lease that require proration on a time basis shall be prorated on the same basis.
ARTICLE 4
ADDITIONAL RENT
4.1 General Terms. In addition to paying the Base Rent specified in Article 3 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay “Tenant’s Share” of the annual “Direct Expenses,” as those terms are defined in Sections 4.2.5 and 4.2.1 of this Lease, respectively. Such payments by Tenant, together with any and all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Additional Rent,” and the Base Rent and the Additional Rent are herein collectively referred to as “Rent.” All amounts due under this Article 4 as Additional Rent shall be payable for the same periods and in the same manner as the Base Rent. Without limitation on other obligations of Tenant which survive the expiration of the Lease Term, the obligations of Tenant to pay the Additional Rent provided for in this Article 4 shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term.
4.2 Definitions of Key Terms Relating to Additional Rent. As used in this Article 4, the following terms shall have the meanings hereinafter set forth:
4.2.1 “Direct Expenses” shall mean “Operating Expenses” and “Tax Expenses.”
4.2.2 “Expense Year” shall mean each calendar year in which any portion of the Lease Term falls, through and including the calendar year in which the Lease Term expires, provided that Landlord, upon notice to Tenant, may change the Expense Year from time to time to any other twelve (12) consecutive month period, and, in the event of any such change,
Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses shall be equitably adjusted for any Expense Year involved in any such change.

If the Project is not at least one hundred percent (100%) occupied during all or a portion of any Expense Year, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to the components of

4.2.4.2 Tax Expenses shall include, without limitation: (i) Any tax on the rent, right to rent or other income from the Project, or any portion thereof, or as against the business of leasing the Project, or any portion thereof; (ii) 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, and, in further recognition of the decrease in the level and quality of governmental services and amenities as a result of Proposition 13, Tax Expenses shall also include any governmental or private assessments or the Project’s contribution towards a governmental or private cost-sharing agreement for the purpose of augmenting or improving the quality of services and amenities normally provided by governmental agencies; (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 business or gross income tax or excise 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; (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; and (v) All of the real estate taxes and assessments imposed upon or with respect to the Building and all of the real estate taxes and assessments imposed on or with respect to the land and other improvements of the Project.
4.2.4.3 Any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees) incurred in attempting to protest, reduce or minimize Tax Expenses shall be included in Tax Expenses in the Expense Year such expenses are incurred. Tax refunds shall be credited against Tax Expenses and refunded to Tenant regardless of when received, based on the Expense Year to which the refund is applicable, provided that in no event
shall the amount to be refunded to Tenant for any such Expense Year exceed the total amount paid by Tenant as Additional Rent under this Article 4 for such Expense Year. If Tax Expenses for any period during the Lease Term or any extension thereof are increased after payment thereof for any reason, including, without limitation, error or reassessment by applicable governmental or
municipal authorities, Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand Tenant’s Share of any such increased Tax Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.2.4 (except as set forth in Section 4.2.4.1, above), 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 Project), (ii) any items included as Operating Expenses, and (iii) any items paid by Tenant under Section 4.5 of this Lease.
municipal authorities, Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand Tenant’s Share of any such increased Tax Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.2.4 (except as set forth in Section 4.2.4.1, above), 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 Project), (ii) any items included as Operating Expenses, and (iii) any items paid by Tenant under Section 4.5 of this Lease.
4.2.5 “Tenant’s Share” shall mean the percentage set forth in Section 5 of the Summary.
4.3 Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.4.1, below, and as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for each Expense Year.
4.4 Cost Pools. Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to equitably allocate some or all of the Direct Expenses for the Project among different portions or occupants of the Project (the “Cost Pools”), in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. Such Cost Pools may include, but shall not be limited to, the office space tenants of a building of the Project or of the Project, and the retail space tenants of a building of the Project or of the Project. The Direct Expenses within each such Cost Pool shall be allocated and charged to the tenants within such Cost Pool in an equitable manner.
4.4.1 Statement of Actual Direct Expenses and Payment by Tenant. Within one hundred fifty (150) days following the end of each Expense Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement (the “Statement”) showing in reasonable detail: (a) the total and Tenant’s Share of actual Direct Expenses for the previous Expense year, and (b) the total of Tenant’s payments in respect of Direct Expenses for such Expense Year. Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year commencing or ending during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, the full amount of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses of such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as “Estimated Direct Expenses,” as that term is defined in Section 4.4.2, below, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Direct Expenses than the actual Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses, Tenant shall receive a credit in the amount of Tenant’s overpayment against Rent next due under this Lease. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord or Tenant from enforcing its rights under this Article 4. Even though the Lease Term has expired or earlier terminated and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which
this Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord such amount, and if Tenant paid more as Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses than the actual Direct Expenses, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days, deliver a check payable to Tenant in the amount of the overpayment. The provisions of this Section 4.4.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.
4.4.2 Statement of Estimated Direct Expenses. In addition, Landlord shall endeavor to give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the “Estimate Statement”) which 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 (the “Estimated Direct Expenses”). The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Direct Expenses under this Article 4, nor shall Landlord be prohibited from revising any Estimate Statement or Estimated Direct Expenses theretofore delivered to the extent necessary. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, a fraction of the Estimated Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.4.2). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year, including the month of such payment, and twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished (which Landlord shall have the right to deliver to Tenant at any time), Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Direct Expenses set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.
4.4.3 Tenant Audit. Within sixty (60) days following Tenant’s receipt of the Statement, Tenant may give Landlord notice (the “Review Notice”) stating that Tenant elects to review and/or contest any item in such Statement and identifying with reasonable specificity the records of Landlord reasonably relating to such matters that Tenant desires to review. Tenant may not deliver more than one (1) Review Notice with respect to any Expense Year. If Tenant fails to give Landlord such a Review Notice within that sixty (60) day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the applicable Statement. If Tenant timely gives the Review Notice, Tenant shall be entitled to conduct or require an audit to be conducted and Landlord will provide such information as Landlord reasonably determines to be responsive to Tenant’s (or its auditor’s) inquiry, provided that (a) not more than one (1) such audit may be conducted during any Expense Year of the Term, (b) the records for each Expense Year may be audited only once, (c) such audit is commenced within sixty (60) days following the date of applicable Review Notice and (d) such audit is completed and a copy thereof is delivered to Landlord within ninety (90) days following the commencement of the audit. Tenant’s auditor must be (i) an independent and nationally recognized “Big Four” accounting firm, (ii) reasonably approved by Landlord and (iii) must not charge a fee based on the amount that the accountant is able to save Tenant by the inspection and Tenant and its auditor must maintain in strict confidence any and all information obtained in connection with the review and shall not disclose such information to any person or entity other than to the management personnel of Tenant. An overcharge of Direct Expenses by
Landlord shall not entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease. No subtenant shall have the right to audit. Any assignee’s audit right will be limited to the period after the effective date of the assignment. No audit shall be permitted if an Event of Default by Tenant has occurred and is continuing under this Lease, including without limitation any failure by Tenant to pay any amount due under this Article 4; provided, however, Tenant’s audit right shall be reinstated immediately upon the cure of such Event of Default. In no event shall payment of Rent ever be contingent upon the performance of such audit. For purposes of any audit, Tenant or Tenant’s duly authorized representative, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall have the right, upon fifteen (15) days’ written notice to Landlord, to inspect Landlord’s books and records pertaining to Direct Expenses at the offices of Landlord or Landlord’s managing agent during ordinary business hours, provided that such audit must be conducted so as not to unreasonably interfere with Landlord’s business operations and must be reasonable as to scope and time. In the event Landlord disputes, in good faith, the determination of Tenant’s auditor of actual Direct Expenses, Landlord may, at its sole cost and expense, seek a final determination of actual Direct Expenses by agreement of the parties,
arbitration or a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that (A) if actual Direct Expenses are finally determined (by agreement of the parties, arbitration or a court of competent jurisdiction) to have been overstated or understated by Landlord for any calendar year, then the parties shall within thirty (30) days thereafter make such adjustment payment or refund as is applicable, and (B) if actual Direct Expenses are finally determined (by agreement of the parties, arbitration or a court of competent jurisdiction) to have been overstated by Landlord for any calendar year by in excess of five percent (5%), then Landlord shall pay or reimburse Tenant the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such audit, not to exceed $10,000.00.
4.5 Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible.
4.5.1 Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay ten (10) days before delinquency, taxes levied against Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property located in or about the Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such equipment, furniture, fixtures or any other personal property and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon written demand repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment, as the case may be.
4.5.2 If the tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed and/or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which tenant improvements conforming to Landlord’s “building standard” in other space in the Building are assessed, then the Tax Expenses levied against Landlord or the property by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.5.1, above.
4.5.3 Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency any (i) rent tax, gross receipts tax or sales tax, service tax, transfer tax or value added tax, or any other applicable tax on the rent or services herein or otherwise respecting this Lease, (ii) taxes assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Project, including the Project parking facility; or (iii) taxes assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises. If any of such taxes are billed to Landlord or included in bills to Landlord, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord all such amounts within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefor. If applicable law prohibits Tenant from reimbursing Landlord for any such tax, but Landlord may lawfully increase the Base Rent to account for Landlord’s payment of such tax, the Base Rent payable to Landlord shall be increased to net to Landlord the same return without reimbursement of such tax as would have been received by Landlord with reimbursement of such Imposition.

Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s option and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to install in such location or locations within the Premises, on the roof of the Building and/or in or adjacent to the Generator Area (as defined below) as shall be identified by Landlord and Tenant and pursuant to such plans and specifications as are reasonably approved by Landlord, a separate, self-contained twenty-four (24) hour a day HVAC unit(s) (which HVAC unit(s) shall not exceed 100 square feet in the aggregate) and condensers, duct work, structural support and other connecting and related equipment therefor (including separate electrical metering devices) to provide air conditioning to the Premises or certain portions thereof designated by Tenant (collectively, “Tenant’s Supplemental HVAC Equipment”), subject, however, to Landlord’s prior approval of the plans and specifications for the work, cooling capacity, electrical requirements and all other specifications of Tenant’s Supplemental HVAC Equipment (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), and so long as such Tenant’s Supplemental HVAC Equipment (i) complies with all applicable laws and the other provisions of this Lease, (ii) does not adversely affect the Building structure, the Building systems or any other Building component, or any roof or Building warranty, (iii) does not unreasonably interfere with the normal and customary
business operations of other tenants of the Building or Project, and (iv) does not cause or create a dangerous or hazardous condition. Tenant shall pay the cost of all electrical usage of Tenant’s Supplemental HVAC Equipment at the rates charged for furnishing the same, plus the cost of the installation, operation and maintenance of equipment which is installed in order to supply such excess consumption. To the extent Tenant’s Supplemental HVAC Equipment is installed during the construction of the initial Tenant Improvements pursuant to the Tenant Work Letter, all costs incurred in connection with the design, acquisition and installation of such Tenant’s Supplemental HVAC Equipment shall be an Improvement Allowance Items. If Tenant’s Supplemental HVAC Equipment is not installed during the construction of the initial Tenant Improvements as provided above, that installation shall be performed in accordance with the provisions of this Lease governing Alterations. At Tenant’s sole cost and expense, Tenant shall at all times maintain Tenant’s Supplemental HVAC Equipment, in good order, condition and repair. In addition, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, remove Tenant’s Supplemental HVAC Equipment and repair all damage to the roof, Building and/or Premises resulting from the installation, use and/or removal thereof. If any of Tenant’s Supplemental HVAC Equipment is located on the roof of the Building (collectively, the “Rooftop HVAC Equipment”): (A) Landlord may elect to install all or any of such Rooftop HVAC Equipment (and/or perform any necessary roof penetration work) pursuant to the approved plans and specifications therefor, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the actual out-of-pocket cost thereof (which shall be reasonably consistent with competitive based pricing) prior to such installation; and (B) Landlord may require Tenant to install screening around such Rooftop HVAC Equipment, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, as reasonably designated by Landlord. For purposes of determining Landlord’s and Tenant’s respective rights and obligations with respect to the use of the roof, the portion of the roof
affected by the Rooftop HVAC Equipment shall be deemed to be a portion of the Premises (provided that such portion shall not be measured for purposes of determining the area of the Premises); consequently, all of the provisions of this Lease respecting Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall apply to the use and maintenance of the Rooftop HVAC Equipment, including without limitation provisions relating to compliance with requirements as to insurance, indemnity, repairs and maintenance. Landlord shall have no obligation with regard to the Rooftop HVAC Equipment.
6.5 Janitorial. Tenant shall engage a janitor at its sole cost and expense to provide janitorial service to the Premises on a five (5) day per week basis throughout the Term, which service shall be at least equal to the level and scope of the services provided by landlords of Comparable Buildings. The janitor selected by Tenant shall be qualified, reputable, and otherwise subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval. Tenant shall enter into a contract with such janitor, which contract shall (i) be in a commercially reasonable form, (ii) be terminable upon thirty (30) days written notice by Tenant, (iii) require the janitor to carry commercially reasonable insurance, and (iv) provide that the janitor shall look solely to Tenant for payment under such contract, and Landlord shall have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto. Tenant further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and causes of action arising out of or relating to any contract entered into by Tenant or any services provided to the Premises pursuant to such contract.
6.6 Security System. Landlord hereby agrees that Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole expense, to install or utilize its own security measures (such as a security system, card-key system, and a remotely monitored camera security system) within (but not outside) any portions of its Building, so long as such systems and services are compatible with Building systems and reasonably approved by Landlord (“Tenant’s Security System”). Tenant’s Security System shall be subject to Landlord’s prior review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and the installation thereof shall be deemed an Alteration and shall be performed pursuant to Article 8 of this Lease, below. In addition, Tenant shall coordinate the selection, installation and operation of Tenant’s Security System with Landlord in order to ensure that Tenant’s Security System is compatible with Landlord’s Building security systems and equipment, and to the extent that Tenant’s Security System is not compatible with Landlord’s Building systems and equipment, Tenant shall not be entitled to install and/or operate Tenant’s Security System. Tenant shall be solely responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for the installation, monitoring, operation and removal of Tenant’s Security System. On the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove the security system and restore the Premises to the condition existing prior to the installation of that system at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
6. Building Security. Tenant shall have the exclusive use of the lobby of the Building, and Landlord acknowledges that Tenant may, at its sole discretion, cost and expense, cause a security guard to be present in the lobby of the Building, to greet and direct Tenant’s invitees and to provide access to (and restrictions on access to) the Premises. Furthermore, Tenant may, at its sole discretion, cost and expense, arrange for security patrols in and around the Building (the “Exterior Security Personnel”). The security services provided by Tenant as described in this Section 6.7 are sometimes referred to collectively as the “Tenant Security”. The Exterior Security Personnel provided by Tenant (a) must comply with the Rules and Regulations and such additional rules and regulations as Landlord may establish from time to time with respect to vendor services,
(b) must comply with all applicable laws, (c) shall not create any material security risk to the Building or materially adversely affect the rights of other tenants in the Project, and (d) shall not carry firearms. All costs related to the risks inherent with respect to Tenant’s Security (including but not limited to insurance for tort liability and uninsured liability arising out of the acts or omissions of Tenant’s Security personnel) shall be solely the responsibility of Tenant. Landlord and its agents and employees shall have no liability or obligation with respect to such costs, and Tenant hereby indemnifies and holds harmless Landlord and its agents and employees therefrom. Tenant hereby further indemnifies Landlord and its agents and employees against and holds Landlord and its agents and employees harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, liability, damage and expense, including without limitation, penalties, fines and actual attorneys’ fees and costs, which Landlord or its agents or employees may incur arising out of or in connection with the provision by Tenant of all or any portion of Tenant’s Security.
6.8 Service Failure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.3 or elsewhere in this Lease, if (a) Landlord fails to provide Tenant with the HVAC service, electrical service or, elevator service or water service described in Section 6.1 (or if stoppage of such
services shall occur due to Landlord’s acts or omissions), or if Landlord’s Construction (as defined in Section 29.29.3), Renovations (as defined in Section 29.30) or entry in and onto the Premises interferes with Tenant’s reasonable use of the Premises (b) such failure, stoppage, or Landlord’s Construction, Renovations or entry is not due to Force Majeure or to an event covered by Article 11, (c) Tenant has given Landlord reasonably prompt written notice of such failure or stoppage, or that such Construction, Renovations or entry by Landlord is unreasonably interfering (or has unreasonably interfered) with Tenant’s use of the Premises and (d) as a result all or any part of the Premises are rendered untenantable (and, as a result, all or such part of the Premises are not used by Tenant during the applicable period) for three (3) consecutive business days, then Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Rent proportional to the extent to which the Premises are thereby rendered unusable by Tenant, commencing with the later of (i) the fourth business day during which such untenantability continues or (ii) the fourth business day after Landlord receives such notice from Tenant, until the Premises (or part thereof affected) are again usable or until Tenant again uses the Premises (or part thereof rendered unusable) in its business, whichever first occurs. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.9, the foregoing rental abatement shall be Tenant’s exclusive remedy therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Article 11 below and not the provisions of this subsection shall govern in the event of Casualty damage to the Premises or Project and the provisions of Article 13 below and not the provisions of this subsection shall govern in the event of condemnation of all or a part of the Premises or Project.
6.9 Additional Provisions Concerning HVAC Maintenance and Replacement. Landlord, as part of Operating Expenses, shall engage a qualified commercial HVAC contractor in the business of maintaining and replacing commercial HVAC systems in Comparable Buildings in the San Francisco Bay Area (the “Landlord HVAC Contractor”) to conduct inspections of the HVAC equipment in the Building (other than any Tenant’s Supplemental HVAC Equipment) (the “Building HVAC System”) no less frequently than quarterly and provide a report of those inspections (the “Landlord HVAC Contractor Inspection Reports”). Landlord shall provide Tenant with a copy of each Landlord HVAC Contractor Inspection Report promptly after receipt thereof by Landlord. Tenant may elect to engage a qualified commercial HVAC contractor in the business of maintaining and replacing commercial HVAC systems in Comparable Buildings in the San Francisco Bay Area (the “Tenant HVAC Contractor”) to conduct inspections of the HVAC
equipment in the Building and to review the Landlord HVAC Contractor Inspection Reports and work performed by the Landlord HVAC Contractor. For clarity, the Tenant HVAC Contractor shall not perform any repairs or maintenance. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of the inspection reports from the Tenant HVAC Contractor promptly after receipt thereof by Tenant. Landlord shall provide a copy of the inspection report from the Tenant HVAC Contractor to the Landlord HVAC Contractor and require the Landlord HVAC Contractor to respond in writing to Landlord and Tenant with respect to any material differences between the report prepared by the Tenant HVAC Contractor (the “Tenant HVAC Contractor Inspection Report”) and the Landlord HVAC Contractor Inspection Report within ten (10) business days after the Landlord HVAC Contractor’s receipt thereof. If after that review and written response, the Landlord HVAC Contractor has not modified the Landlord HVAC Contractor Inspection Report to include
a required or recommended replacement that the Tenant HVAC Contractor Inspection Report requires or recommends (the “Disputed Replacement”), then Tenant within ten (10) business days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord HVAC Contractor’s response may by notice to Landlord (the “Section 6.9 Dispute Notice”) require that a third qualified commercial HVAC contractor in the business of maintaining and replacing commercial HVAC systems in Comparable Buildings in the San Francisco Bay Area approved by both Landlord and Tenant (the “Contractor Arbitrator”) review the Tenant HVAC Contractor Inspection Report, the Landlord HVAC Contractor Inspection Report and the Landlord HVAC Contractor’s response and determine whether the Disputed Replacement should be made required or recommended as specified by the Tenant HVAC Contractor Inspection Report. If the Contractor Arbitrator determines that any Disputed Replacement should be required or recommended as specified in the Tenant HVAC Contractor Inspection Report, that Disputed Replacement shall be made in accordance with either Section 6.9.1 or Section 6.9.2, as applicable. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on a Contractor Arbitrator within five (5) business days after delivery of the Section 6.9 Dispute Notice, the determination of whether a Disputed Replacement should be required or recommended shall be made by arbitration in accordance with Section 6.9.5.
6.9.1 In the event that a Landlord HVAC Contractor Inspection Report indicates that a repair or replacement of some element of the HVAC system is required immediately (or the Contractor Arbitrator determines that a Disputed Replacement is required immediately), Landlord will engage the Landlord HVAC Contractor to perform that repair or replacement within ten (10) days after receipt of the Landlord HVAC Contractor Inspection Report indicating that the repair or replacement is so required. If necessary parts are not readily available, Landlord shall instruct the Landlord HVAC Contractor to order those parts within that 10-day period.
6.9.2 In the event that a Landlord HVAC Contractor Inspection Report indicates that a repair or replacement of some element of the HVAC system is recommended within a specific time period (or the Contractor Arbitrator determines that a Disputed Replacement is recommended within a specific time period), Landlord will engage the Landlord HVAC Contractor to perform that repair or replacement within that specific time, including without limitation ordering parts in advance of that specific time so as to permit the repair or replacement to be completed by the specific time recommended by the Landlord HVAC Contractor.
6.9.3 In the event that Tenant provides Landlord and Landlord’s property manager with notice of a failure of the Building HVAC System to operate at all or in accordance with the specifications for the Building HVAC System, Landlord or Landlord’s property manager shall
have the Landlord HVAC Contractor or another comparable contractor visit the Premises within one (1) business day after delivery of Tenant’s notice to commence the investigation of the failure of the Building HVAC System and the correction thereof. In the event that such failure of the Building HVAC System is a complete failure or is of a scope that makes it unreasonable for Tenant to conduct continuous, uninterrupted business operations from the portions of the Premises that would otherwise be served by the failed portion of the Building HVAC system, Landlord shall obtain temporary HVAC service for the affected portions of the Premises within
seventy-two (72) hours after delivery of Tenant’s notice. Notice to Landlord’s property manager under this Section 6.9.3 may be made by email and/or telephone.
6.9.4 If any major component of the Building HVAC System has been in place at the Building for more than twenty-five (25) years, Tenant may require that Landlord replace that major component of the Building HVAC System. If Tenant requires replacement as provided in this Section 6.9.4, Landlord shall promptly replace the major component with a new component substantially similar to the component being replaced (e.g., similar model, tonnage and cooling capacity). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may replace elements of the Building HVAC System in its commercially reasonable business judgment prior to their having been in place at the Building for twenty-five (25) years or as otherwise required by this Section 6.9. All costs of the replacement of elements of the Building HVAC System shall be treated as Operating Expenses with such costs being amortized over the useful life of the repair or replacement pursuant to Section 4.2.3(xv).
6.9.5 In the event that under Section 6.9, Landlord and Tenant are to arbitrate a dispute over whether a Disputed Replacement should be required or recommended, such dispute shall be resolved by expedited binding arbitration before a retired judge in the State of California under the auspices of JAMS (or any successor to such organization, or if there is no such successor, then to a comparable organization mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant) in San Francisco, California, according to the then rules of commercial arbitration of such organization. JAMS shall be instructed to complete the arbitration within thirty (30) days.
6.10 Generator.
6.10.1 General. Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to install one (1) back-up generator (the “Generator”) on a generator pad site in the location set forth on Exhibit I, attached hereto (the “Generator Area”) to service the Premises in the event of a power outage. For purposes of this Lease, the Generator shall be deemed to include, without limitation, all associated equipment, connections and/or facilities. All plans and specifications relating to the Generator shall be subject to the approval of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Subject to the terms of this Section 6.10, Landlord shall permit Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, to install and maintain the Generator, all in compliance with applicable laws. The cost of design (including engineering costs) and installation of the Generator and the costs of the Generator itself shall be Tenant’s sole responsibility.
6.10.2 Operation and Maintenance of Generator. In no event shall Tenant permit the Generator to interfere with normal and customary use or operation of the Building and Project by Landlord. Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for all maintenance and repairs and compliance with applicable laws with respect to the Generator, and Tenant
acknowledges and that Landlord shall have no responsibility in connection with the Generator and that Landlord shall not be liable for any damage that may occur with respect to the Generator, provided that Landlord shall remain liable for property damage to the Generator to the
extent caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.10.2, all matters (including all plans and specifications) relating to the installation, connection, use, maintenance, repair, compliance with applicable laws, and removal of the Generator shall be subject to the prior approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
6.10.3 Removal of Generator. The Generator shall remain Tenant’s property and Tenant may, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, remove the Generator at any time during the Lease Term, provided that Tenant repairs all damage to the Building and Project resulting from the use and removal of the Generator and restores all affected areas to their condition existing prior to the installation thereof (collectively, the “Generator Restoration Obligations”). If Tenant shall not elect to remove the Generator during the Lease Term in accordance with the preceding terms, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, at Landlord’s option (which shall be made, if at all, by notice to Tenant at the time of Landlord’s approval of the plans and specifications for the initial installation of the Generator), Tenant shall be obligated, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to remove the Generator and to perform all Generator Restorations Obligations prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (or upon any earlier termination of Tenant’s rights with respect to the Generator as provided hereunder). The foregoing obligations of Tenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 7
REPAIRS
7.1 Landlord shall at all times during the Lease Term (with the exception of Tenant’s rights with respect to the HVAC set forth in Section 6.9 above) maintain in good condition and operating order and in a manner reasonably commensurate with the maintenance standards of owners of Comparable Buildings, the structural portions of the Building, including, without limitation, all Base Building, the exterior walls, foundation, roof of the Building, the structural portions of the floors of the Building, stairs, stairwells, escalators, elevators, parking areas, exterior landscaping and all Common Areas (collectively, the “Building Structure”), and the Building’s mechanical, electrical, life safety, plumbing, sprinkler and HVAC systems (and all associated equipment, boilers, connections and/or facilities related to such HVAC systems) (collectively, the “Building Systems”) except to the extent that such repairs are required due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant; provided, however, that if such repairs are due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, Landlord shall nevertheless make such repairs at Tenant’s expense, or, if covered by Landlord’s insurance, Tenant shall only be obligated to pay any deductible in connection therewith. Landlord may, but shall not be required to, enter the Premises at all reasonable times (upon not less than forty-eight (48) hours advance written notice, except in the case of emergencies in which case no such notice shall be required and such entry may be at any time) to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the Project or to any equipment located in the Project as Landlord shall desire or deem reasonable necessary or as Landlord may be required to do by governmental or quasi-governmental authority or court order or decree. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interruption of Tenant’s
operations in the Premises during any entry into the Premises pursuant to this Article 7. Tenant shall at all times, except in the case of emergencies, have the right to escort Landlord or its agents, representatives, contractors or guests while the same are in the Premises, provided such escort does not materially and adversely affect Landlord’s access rights hereunder.
7.2 Except as specifically set forth in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not be required to repair the Building Structure and/or the Building Systems. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense, keep the Premises, including, without limitation, glass panels and partitions, washrooms, lavatories, showers, toilets, basins, and supplemental HVAC systems, including each of their respective mechanical, plumbing and electrical connections, including all improvements, fixtures and furnishings therein, in good order, repair and condition at all times during the Lease Term. In addition, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense, but under the supervision and subject to the prior approval of Landlord, 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, broken, or worn fixtures and appurtenances, except for damage caused by ordinary wear and tear or beyond the reasonable control of Tenant; provided however, that, at Landlord’s option, or if Tenant fails to make such repairs within ten (10) business days following notice from Landlord (no notice shall be required in the event of an emergency), Landlord may, but need not, make such repairs and replacements, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the actual out-of-pocket cost thereof. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights under and benefits of subsection 1 of Section 1932 and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code or under any similar law, statute, or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
7.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Landlord fails to make any repairs to the Premises which Landlord is required to make pursuant to the terms of this Lease (which failure to repair materially and adversely affects Tenant’s use of the Premises), within thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant (or one (1) business day after written notice in the case of an emergency involving the likelihood of imminent harm to person or material damage to property), then Tenant may give Landlord an additional three (3) business days written notice (or additional one (1) business day’s written notice in the case of an emergency as described above) (such additional notice, a “Self Help Notice”) specifying that Tenant is going to take such required action (which notice must describe in detail the action required of Landlord pursuant to this Lease, and state in the subject line in boldface, ALL CAPS that “LANDLORD’S ATTENTION IS REQUIRED. IF LANDLORD FAILS TO COMMENCE PERFORMANCE OF ITS OBLIGATIONS WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS FOLLOWING THE DATE OF THIS NOTICE, TENANT SHALL EXERCISE IT’S “SELF HELP” REMEDY PURSUANT TO SECTION 7.3 OF THE LEASE”). If Landlord has not commenced to repair such problem (or reasonably objected to the required action described in Tenant’s notice) within such three (3) business day period (or one (1) business day period in the case of an emergency) after receipt of the Self Help Notice from Tenant (which Self Help Notice must conform with the foregoing requirements), then Tenant shall have the right to perform the required action of Landlord in a good and professional manner in accordance with all applicable laws (using vendors pre-approved by Landlord) and, provided that Landlord has not disputed or objected to the required action described in Tenant’s notice, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the actual and reasonable costs thereof (to the extent such costs would not
otherwise be payable by Tenant under this Lease) within thirty (30) days after presentation of a reasonably detailed invoice demonstrating the expenses incurred by Tenant. If Landlord does not reimburse such costs incurred by Tenant within
such thirty (30) day period, then Tenant shall be entitled to pursue arbitration of Landlord’s obligation for payment of such amount in accordance with Section 7.4. If Tenant prevails in any such arbitration, and such arbitration is not subject to appeal, and Landlord does not pay the amounts finally determined to be owed within thirty (30) days after written notice of that final determination, that finally determined amount may be offset by Tenant from Rent next due and payable under this Lease. In no event shall the total amounts offset under this Section 7.3 in any calendar month exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Base Rent payable in that calendar month.
7.4 In the event that under Section 7.3, Landlord and Tenant are to arbitrate a dispute over whether Landlord is obligated to reimburse Tenant for costs incurred by Tenant under Section 7.3, such dispute shall be resolved by expedited binding arbitration before a retired judge in the State of California under the auspices of JAMS (or any successor to such organization, or if there is no such successor, then to a comparable organization mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant) in San Francisco, California, according to the then rules of commercial arbitration of such organization. JAMS shall be instructed to complete the arbitration within thirty (30) days.
ARTICLE 8
ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS
8.1 Landlord’s Consent to Alterations. Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises or any mechanical, plumbing or HVAC facilities or systems pertaining to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations”) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord, provided it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any Alteration which adversely affects the structural portions or the systems or equipment of the Building or is visible from the exterior of the Premises or requires other alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises or Common Areas in order to comply with applicable laws (including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act) or which may adversely affect the LEED rating of the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may make strictly cosmetic, non-structural alterations, additions or improvements to the interior of the Premises (collectively, the “Notice-Only Alterations”) without Landlord’s consent, provided that: (A) Tenant delivers to Landlord written notice of such Notice-Only Alterations at least ten (10) days prior to the commencement thereof; (B) the aggregate cost of all such Notice-Only Alterations during any twelve (12) consecutive month period does not exceed One Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00); provided, however, that this subclause (B) shall not apply to Tenant’s installation of carpeting or painting of the Premises; (C) such Notice-Only Alterations shall be performed by or on behalf of Tenant in compliance with the other provisions of this Article 8; (D) such Notice-Only Alterations do not require the
issuance of a building permit or other governmental approval; (E) such Notice-Only Alterations (i) do not affect the outside appearance of the Building, (ii) are non-structural and do not impair the strength or structural integrity of the Building, and (iii) do not affect the mechanical, electrical, HVAC or other systems of the Building; and (F) such Notice-Only Alterations shall be performed by qualified contractors and subcontractors which normally and regularly perform similar work in Comparable Buildings. The construction of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8.
8.2 Manner of Construction. Landlord may impose, as a condition of its consent to any and all Alterations or repairs of the Premises or about the Premises, such requirements as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the requirement that Tenant utilize for such purposes only contractors, subcontractors, materials, mechanics and materialmen selected by Tenant from a list provided and reasonably approved by Landlord, and, as more particularly set forth in Section 8.5, below, the requirement that upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, remove such Alterations upon the expiration or any early termination of the Lease Term. Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform such repairs in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformance with any and all applicable federal, state, county or municipal laws, rules and regulations (including without limitation California Energy Code, Title 24) and pursuant to a valid building permit, issued by the City of San Jose, all in conformance with Landlord’s construction rules and regulations; provided, however, that prior to commencing to construct any Alteration, Tenant shall meet with Landlord to discuss Landlord’s design parameters and code compliance issues. In the event Tenant performs any Alterations in the Premises which require or give rise to governmentally required changes to the “Base Building,” as that term is defined below, then Landlord shall, at Tenant’s expense, make such changes to the Base Building. The “Base Building” shall include the structural portions of the Building, and the public restrooms, elevators, exit stairwells and the systems and equipment located in the internal core of the Building on the floor or floors on which the Premises are located. In performing the work of any such Alterations, Tenant shall have the work performed in such manner so as not to obstruct access to the Project or any portion thereof, by any other tenant of the Project, and so as not to obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants in the Project. Tenant shall not use (and upon notice from Landlord shall cease using) contractors, services, workmen, labor, materials or equipment that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, would disturb labor harmony with the workforce or trades engaged in performing other work, labor or services in or about the Building or the Common Areas. In addition to Tenant’s obligations under Article 9 of this Lease, upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant agrees to cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the County of San Jose in accordance with Section 8182 of the California Civil Code or any successor statute and furnish a copy thereof to Landlord upon recordation, and timely give all notices required pursuant to Section 8190 of the California Civil Code or any successor statute (failing which, Landlord may itself execute and file such Notice of Completion and give such notices on behalf of Tenant as Tenant’s agent for such purpose), and Tenant shall deliver to the Project construction manager (A) a reproducible print copy, and (B) an electronic CAD file, of the “as built” drawings of the Alterations as well as all permits, approvals and other documents issued by any governmental agency in connection with the Alterations. Based upon
such “as built” drawings and other documents provided by Tenant, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s expense, update Landlord’s “as-built” master plans for the floor(s) on which the Premises are located, if any, including updated vellums and electronic CAD files, all of which may be modified by Landlord from time-to-time, and the current versions of which shall be made available to Tenant upon Tenant’s request.
8.3 Payment for Improvements. If payment is made directly to contractors, Tenant shall (i) comply with Landlord’s requirements for final lien releases and waivers in connection with Tenant’s payment for work to contractors, and (ii) sign Landlord’s standard contractor’s rules and regulations. If Tenant orders any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in cash prior to the commencement of construction by Landlord, all costs of such work, including an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the cost of such work to compensate Landlord for all
overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses arising from Landlord’s involvement with such work (collectively, the “Alteration Costs”); provided, however, that no fee shall be charged by Landlord in connection with a Notice-Only Alteration and/or if Landlord’s involvement is limited to a one-time review and approval of Tenant’s plans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Landlord provides Tenant with a monetary allowance in connection with such work, Tenant shall only be required to pay to Landlord the amount by which the Alteration Costs exceed such allowance. 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 incurred in connection with Landlord’s review of such work.
8.4 Construction Insurance. In addition to the requirements of Article 10 of this Lease, in the event that Tenant makes any Alterations, prior to the commencement of such Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence that Tenant carries “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount reasonably approved by Landlord (which shall in no event be less than the amount actually carried by Tenant) covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, it being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 10 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof. In addition, Tenant shall obtain and deliver to Landlord certificates of insurance and applicable endorsements from all Third Party Contractors (defined below) at least seven (7) business days prior to the commencement of work in or about the Premises by any vendor or any other third-party contractor (each, a “Third Party Contractor”). All such insurance shall (a) name Landlord, and any other party that Landlord so specifies, as an additional insured under such party’s liability policies (including, without limitation, with respect to premises operations and product-completed operations coverages) as required by Section 10.3.1 below and this Section 8.4, (b) provide a waiver of subrogation in favor of Landlord under each such Third Party Contractor’s commercial general liability insurance, (c) be primary and any insurance carried by Landlord shall be excess and non-contributing, and (d) comply with Landlord’s minimum insurance requirements, with coverage amounts as reasonably required by Landlord, which shall in no event be less than the amount actually carried by any such Third Party Contractor. In addition, Landlord may, in its discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien and
completion bond or some alternate form of security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee.
8.5 Landlord’s Property. All Alterations, improvements, fixtures, equipment and/or appurtenances which may be installed or placed in 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 Tenant can substantiate to Landlord have not been paid for with any Tenant improvement allowance funds provided to Tenant by Landlord, provided Tenant repairs any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and returns the affected portion of the Premises to a building standard tenant improved condition as determined by Landlord. Furthermore, subject to the last sentence of this Section 8.5, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant either prior to or following the end of the Lease Term, or given following any earlier termination of this Lease, require Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to remove any Alterations or improvements and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and return the affected portion of the Premises to its condition prior to the installation of such Alteration or improvement, normal wear and tear excepted. If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the
removal of any Alterations or improvements in the Premises and return the affected portion of the Premises to its condition prior to the installation of such Alteration or improvement, normal wear and tear excepted, as reasonably determined by Landlord, Landlord may do so and may charge the reasonable and actual out-of-pocket cost thereof to Tenant. Tenant hereby protects, defends, 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, which obligations of Tenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Upon submission of any plans for Landlord’s approval, Tenant may request prior to the installation of specific fixtures, equipment or improvements in the Premises, that Landlord agree not to require Tenant to remove such items upon expiration or termination of the Lease or agree to permit Tenant to remove any item it may otherwise not be permitted to remove under the terms of this Lease. Such consent may be granted or denied in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, must be granted in writing prior to the installation of the subject items in order to be binding against Landlord; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if Landlord fails to notify Tenant of Landlord’s waiver or nonwaiver of Tenant’s obligation to remove such addition, alteration or improvement at the end of the Term within twenty (20) days after Tenant’s written request for that waiver, Tenant shall have the right to provide Landlord with a second written request (a “Second Waiver Request”) that contains the following statement in bold and capital letters: “THIS IS A SECOND REQUEST FOR EITHER (I) WAIVER OF TENANT’S OBLIGATION TO REMOVE CERTAIN ADDITIONS, ALTERATIONS OR IMPROVEMENTS OR (II) AUTHORIZATION FOR TENANT TO REMOVE CERTAIN ADDITIONS, ALTERATIONS OR IMPROVEMENTS, IN EACH CASE UPON EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION OF THE LEASE PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 8.5 OF THE LEASE. IF LANDLORD FAILS TO RESPOND WITHIN FIVE (5)
BUSINESS DAYS AFTER DELIVERY OF THIS NOTICE TO LANDLORD, THEN LANDLORD SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE EITHER (I) WAIVED THE OBLIGATION OF TENANT TO REMOVE CERTAIN ADDITION, ALTERATION OR IMPROVEMENT DESCRIBED HEREIN OR (II) AUTHORIZED TENANT TO REMOVE CERTAIN ADDITIONS, ALTERATIONS OR IMPROVEMENTS DESCRIBED HEREIN.” If Landlord fails to respond to such Second Waiver Request within five (5) business days after delivery by Tenant, Landlord shall be deemed to have either (a) waived the right to require Tenant to remove such addition, alteration or improvement at the end of the Term or (b) authorized Tenant to remove such addition, alteration or improvement at the end of the Term.
ARTICLE 9
COVENANT AGAINST LIENS
Tenant shall keep the Project and Premises free from any liens or encumbrances arising out of the work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant, and shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, judgments or costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of same or in connection therewith. Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least twenty (20) days prior to the commencement of any such work on the Premises (or such additional time as may be necessary under applicable laws) to afford Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording appropriate notices of non-responsibility. Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance by bond or otherwise within ten (10) business days after written notice by Landlord,
and if Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may pay the amount necessary to remove such lien or encumbrance, without being responsible for investigating the validity thereof. The amount so paid shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease payable upon written demand, without limitation as to other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Nothing contained in this Lease shall authorize Tenant to do any act which shall subject Landlord’s title to the Building or Premises to any liens or encumbrances whether claimed by operation of law or express or implied contract. Any claim to a lien or encumbrance upon the Building or Premises arising in connection with any such work or respecting the Premises not performed by or at the request of Landlord shall be null and void, or at Landlord’s option shall attach only against Tenant’s interest in the Premises and shall in all respects be subordinate to Landlord’s title to the Project, Building and Premises.
ARTICLE 10
INSURANCE
10.1 Indemnification and Waiver. Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in, upon or about the Premises from any cause whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any personal injuries resulting from a slip and fall in, upon or about the Premises) and, except as otherwise provided herein, agrees that Landlord, its subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, subpartners, members and their respective officers, directors,
shareholders, partners, agents, servants, employees, and independent contractors (collectively, “Landlord Parties”) shall not be liable for, and are hereby released from any responsibility for, any damage either to person or property or resulting from the loss of use thereof, which damage is sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in connection with or arising from any cause in, on or about the Premises (including, but not limited to, a slip and fall), any acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or of any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, or of the contractors, agents, servants, employees, invitees, guests or licensees of Tenant or any such person (collectively, “Tenant Parties”), in, on or about the Project or any breach of the terms of this Lease, either prior to, during, or after the expiration of the Lease Term, provided that the terms of the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord Parties. Should Landlord be named as a defendant in any suit brought against Tenant in connection with or arising out of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in such suit, including without limitation, its actual professional fees such as reasonable appraisers’, accountants’ and attorneys’ fees. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability arising in connection with any event occurring prior to such expiration or termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, nothing in this Lease shall impose any obligations on Tenant or Landlord to be responsible or liable for, and each hereby releases the other from all liability for, consequential damages other than those consequential damages incurred by Landlord in connection with a holdover of the Premises by Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
10.2 Tenant’s Compliance With Landlord’s Fire and Casualty Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, comply with all 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 the following coverages in the following amounts.
10.3.1 Commercial General Liability Insurance on an occurrence form covering the insured against claims of bodily injury, personal injury and property damage (including loss of use thereof) arising out of Tenant’s operations for limits of liability not less than that actually carried by Tenant, under a Commercial Liability policy or in combination with an Umbrella Liability policy, which shall be no less than:
|
Bodily Injury and
Property Damage Liability |
$3,000,000 each occurrence
$3,000,000 annual aggregate
|
||||
| Personal Injury Liability |
$3,000,000 each occurrence

10.3.2 Physical Damage Insurance covering (i) all office furniture, business and trade fixtures, office equipment, free-standing cabinet work, movable partitions, merchandise and all other items of Tenant’s property on the Premises installed by, for, or at the expense of Tenant, (ii) the “Tenant Improvements,” as that term is defined in the Tenant Work Letter, and (iii) all other improvements, alterations and additions to the Premises made by Tenant. Such insurance shall be written on an “all risks” of physical loss or damage basis, for the full replacement cost value (subject to reasonable deductible amounts) new without deduction for depreciation of the covered items and in amounts that meet any co-insurance clauses of the policies of insurance and shall include coverage for damage or other loss caused by fire or other peril including, but not limited to, vandalism and malicious mischief, theft, water damage, including sprinkler leakage, bursting or stoppage of pipes, and explosion, and providing business interruption coverage for a period of six (6) months.
10.3.3 Worker’s Compensation with statutory limits covering Tenant’s employees (workers’ compensation insurance is required and no alternative forms of insurance are permitted) and Employer’s Liability in an amount not less than $1,000,000.00 each accident, $1,000,000.00 disease-each employee and policy limit.
10.3.4 Business automobile liability insurance having a combined single limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and insuring Tenant against liability for claims arising out of ownership, maintenance or use of any owned, hired or non-owned automobiles.
10.4 Form of Policies. The minimum limits of policies of insurance required of Tenant under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease. The Commercial General Liability shall (i) name Landlord, and any other party the Landlord so specifies, as an
additional named insured, including Landlord’s managing agent, if any; (ii) specifically cover the liability assumed by Tenant under this Lease, including, but not limited to, Tenant’s obligations under Section 10.1 of this Lease; (iii) be issued by an insurance company having a rating of not less than A-X in Best’s Insurance Guide or which is otherwise 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 non-contributing with any insurance requirement of Tenant; (v) be in form and content reasonably acceptable to Landlord; and (vi) provide that said insurance shall not be canceled unless thirty (30) days’ prior written notice shall have been given to Tenant, and Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord of the same. Tenant shall deliver said certificates thereof to Landlord on or before the Commencement Date and at least ten (10) days before the expiration dates thereof.
In the event Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to deliver such policies or certificates within five (5) days of Landlord’s request, Landlord may, at its option, procure such policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord within five (5) days after delivery to Tenant of bills therefor.
10.5 Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant intend that their respective property loss risks shall be borne by reasonable insurance carriers to the extent above provided, and Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to look solely to, and seek recovery only from, their respective insurance carriers in the event of a property loss. The parties each hereby waive all rights and claims against each other for such losses, and waive all rights of subrogation of their respective insurers, provided such waiver of subrogation shall not affect the right of the insured to recover thereunder. The parties agree that their respective insurance policies are now, or shall be, endorsed such that the waiver of subrogation shall not affect the right of the insured to recover thereunder, so long as no material additional premium is charged therefor.
10.6 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 this Article 10 and such other reasonable types of insurance coverage and in such reasonable amounts covering the Premises and Tenant’s operations therein, as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, but in no event in excess of the amounts and types of insurance then being required by landlords of other Comparable Buildings.
ARTICLE 11
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
11.1 Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. Tenant shall give reasonably prompt notice to Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty. If the Premises or any Common Areas 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 insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 11, restore the Premises (other than the Tenant Improvements), Base Building and such Common Areas. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the Premises (other than the Tenant Improvements), Base Building and the Common Areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Building or Project or any other modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord, which are consistent with the character of the
Project, provided that access to the Premises serving the Premises shall not be materially impaired. Upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, upon notice (the “Landlord Repair Notice”) to Tenant from Landlord, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance required under Section 10.3 of this Lease, and Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the Tenant Improvements installed in the Premises and shall return such Tenant Improvements to their original condition (any such work will be competitively bid by Landlord to ensure that
Landlord receives commercially reasonable pricing for the performance of such work so that, to the extent reasonably possible, the cost of such work does not unnecessarily exceed the proceeds of Tenant’s insurance); provided that if the cost of such repair by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant’s insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, the cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord’s commencement of repair of the damage. In the event that Landlord does not deliver the Landlord Repair Notice within sixty (60) days following the date the casualty becomes known to Landlord, Tenant shall, to the extent sufficient insurance proceeds are available to Tenant, repair any injury or damage to the Tenant Improvements installed in the Premises and shall return such Tenant Improvements to their original condition. Whether or not Landlord delivers a Landlord Repair Notice, prior to the commencement of construction, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such improvement work. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or Common Areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy, and the Premises are not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof, then during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy, the Rent shall be abated in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which is unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. In the event that Landlord shall not deliver the Landlord Repair Notice, Tenant’s right to rent abatement pursuant to the preceding sentence shall terminate as of the date which is reasonably determined by Landlord to be the date Tenant should have completed repairs to the Premises assuming Tenant used reasonable due diligence in connection therewith.
11.2 Landlord’s Option to Repair. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises, Building and/or Project, and instead terminate this Lease, by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of discovery of the damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant sixty (60) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building or Project shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) in Landlord’s construction consultant’s reasonable judgment, repairs cannot reasonably be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of discovery of the damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Building or Project or ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground lease, as the case may be; (iii) the damage is not fully covered by Landlord’s insurance policies; (iv) Landlord decides to rebuild the Building or Common Areas so that they will be substantially different structurally or architecturally; or (v) the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months
of the Lease Term (except that, in the event that Tenant shall have exercised its Option to renew the Lease Term pursuant to the Extension Option Rider, such twelve (12) month period shall be the last twelve (12) months of the Option Term); provided, however, that if Landlord does not
elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord’s termination right as provided above, and the repairs cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s construction consultant (such opinion to be delivered in writing to Tenant and Landlord), be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after being commenced, Tenant may elect, no later than ninety (90) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s architect’s opinion, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in the notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is given by Tenant. Furthermore, if neither Landlord nor Tenant has terminated this Lease, and the repairs are not actually completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after being commenced or such longer period as Landlord’s contractor had estimated would be required to complete such repairs (subject to extension for delays caused by Force Majeure and delays caused by 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 period until such time as the repairs are complete, by notice to Landlord (the “Damage Termination Notice”), effective as of a date set forth in the Damage Termination Notice (the “Damage Termination Date”), which Damage Termination Date shall not be greater than thirty (30) days following the date such Damage Termination Notice was delivered to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant delivers a Damage Termination Notice to Landlord, then Landlord shall have the right to suspend the occurrence of the Damage Termination Date for a period ending thirty (30) days after the Damage Termination Date set forth in the Damage Termination Notice by delivering to Tenant, within five (5) business days of Landlord’s receipt of the Damage Termination Notice, 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 (30) 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 (30) day period, then this Lease shall terminate upon the expiration of such thirty (30) day period. At any time, from time to time, after the date occurring sixty (60) days after the date of the damage, Tenant may request that Landlord inform Tenant of Landlord’s reasonable opinion of the date of completion of the repairs and Landlord shall respond to such request within five (5) business days. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.2, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease under this Section 11.2 only if each of the following conditions is satisfied: (a) the damage to the Project by fire or other casualty was not caused by the gross negligence or intentional act of Tenant or its partners or subpartners and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and independent contractors; (b) Tenant is not then in monetary default under this Lease (beyond applicable notice and cure periods); (c) as a result of the damage, Tenant cannot reasonably conduct business from the Premises; and, (d) as a result of the damage to the Project, Tenant does not occupy or use the Premises at all. Additionally, if the Premises are destroyed or materially damaged during the last twelve (12) months of the Term (except that, in the event that Tenant shall have exercised its Option to renew the Lease Term pursuant to the Extension Option Rider, such twelve (12) month period shall be the last twelve (12) months of the Option Term) then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon delivery of written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after such fire or casualty, in which case this Lease shall terminate on the date that is sixty (60) days after the date of such notice.
11.3 Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project, and any statute or regulation of the State of California, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or the Project.
11.4 Reimbursement of the Tenant TI Amount. In the event (a) Tenant has incurred and paid all or any portion of the Tenant TI Amount (as defined in the Tenant Work Letter) for the Improvement Allowance Items (as defined in the Tenant Work Letter) pursuant to the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and (b) Tenant or Landlord notifies the other party of its intent to exercise its respective right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Article 11 in connection with a casualty to the Building or Premises prior to Landlord’s reimbursement to Tenant of the entire Tenant TI Amount pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Tenant Work Letter, then Tenant shall be entitled to retain the proceeds from the policy of title insurance described in Section 10.3.2 with respect to the Tenant Improvements to the extent of the unreimbursed Tenant TI Amount.
ARTICLE 12
NONWAIVER
No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by either party hereto unless expressly waived in a writing signed thereby. The waiver by either party hereto of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent. No acceptance of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to receive the full amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the full amount due. No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the Lease Term or of Tenant’s right of possession hereunder, or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or affect any notice given Tenant prior to the receipt of such monies, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit, or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment.
ARTICLE 13
CONDEMNATION
If the whole or any part of the Premises, Building or Project shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any part of the Premises, Building or Project, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken, or if access to the Premises is substantially impaired, in each case for a period in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. Tenant shall not because of such taking assert any claim against Landlord or the authority for any compensation because of such taking and Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant’s personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and for moving expenses, so long as such claims do not diminish the award available to Landlord, its ground lessor with respect to the Building or Project or its mortgagee, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant. All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, 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. 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.
ARTICLE 14
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
14.1 Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment, or other transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or enter into any license or concession agreements or otherwise permit the occupancy or use of the Premises or any part thereof by any persons other than Tenant and its employees and contractors (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as “Transfers” and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “Transferee”). If
Tenant desires Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the
“Transfer Notice”) shall include (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the “Subject Space”), (iii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, including calculation of the “Transfer Premium”, as that term is defined in Section 14.3 below, in connection with such Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing executed and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, provided that Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to utilize Landlord’s standard Transfer documents in connection with the documentation of such Transfer, in a form reasonably approved by Tenant, (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, business credit and personal references and history of the proposed Transferee and any other information reasonably required by Landlord which will enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee’s business and proposed use of the Subject Space, and (v) an executed estoppel certificate from Tenant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. Any Transfer made without Landlord’s prior written consent shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease. Except in connection with any proposed Permitted Transfer (as defined below), Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable review and processing fees, as well as any reasonable professional fees (including, without limitation, attorneys’, accountants’, architects’, engineers’ and consultants’ fees) actually incurred by Landlord, but not to exceed two thousand dollars ($2,000) with respect to any single Transfer so long as Tenant and the proposed transferee execute Landlord’s standard form of consent document without material negotiation, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord, whether or not Landlord consents to any proposed Transfer.
14.2 Landlord’s Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. Without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, the parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply:
14.2.1 The Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building or the Project;
14.2.2 The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;
14.2.3 The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof;
14.2.4 The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities to be undertaken in connection with the Transfer on the date consent is requested;
14.2.5 The proposed Transfer would cause a violation of another lease for space in the Project, or would give an occupant of the Project a right to cancel its lease, or is a use which conflicts with any so-called “exclusive” of another tenant; or
14.2.6 Either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed Transferee, (i) occupies space in the Project at the time of the request for consent, or (ii) is negotiating with Landlord or has negotiated with Landlord during the six (6) month period immediately preceding the date Landlord receives the Transfer Notice, to lease space in the Project and Landlord has substantially similar space (size, quality, utility) for direct lease at the time Tenant is attempting to sublease or assign the Premises.
If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2, Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord’s consent, but not later than the expiration of said six-month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, provided that if there are any material changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice (i) such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2, or (ii) which would cause the proposed Transfer to be more favorable to the Transferee than the terms set forth in Tenant’s original Transfer Notice, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14 (including Landlord’s right of recapture, if any, under Section 14.4 of this Lease). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed its consent under Section 14.2 or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably under this Article 14, their sole remedies shall be a suit for contract damages (other than damages for injury to, or interference with, Tenant’s business including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring) or declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief sought, and Tenant hereby waives all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all applicable laws, on behalf of the proposed Transferee.
14.3 Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any “Transfer Premium,” as that term is defined in this Section 14.3, received by Tenant from such Transferee. “Transfer Premium” shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in connection with the Transfer in excess of the Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the Transfer on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred, after first deducting reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in connection with the Transfer for the following: (i) broker fees, (ii) legal fees incurred in connection with the negotiation and documentation of the Transfer, (iii) accounting fees incurred in connection with the negotiation and documentation of
the Transfer, (iv) costs of tenant improvements constructed by Tenant (with Landlord’s prior consent) for the Transferee, (v) reasonable tenant improvement allowances granted by Tenant, and (vi) reasonable rent abatements or concessions granted by Tenant. “Transfer Premium” shall also include, but not be limited to, key money, bonus money or other cash consideration paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, any debt relief benefiting Tenant in
connection with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee in connection with such Transfer. The determination of the amount of Landlord’s applicable share of the Transfer Premium shall be made on a monthly basis as rent or other consideration is received by Tenant under the Transfer.
14.4 [Intentionally Omitted].
14.5 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 of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (iv) Tenant shall furnish upon Landlord’s request a complete statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant, or Tenant’s chief financial officer, setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant has derived and shall derive from such Transfer, and (v) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from any liability under this Lease, including, without limitation, in connection with the Subject Space. 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. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency, and if understated by more than two percent (2%), Tenant shall pay Landlord’s costs of such audit.
14.6 Additional Transfers. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Transfer” shall also include (i) if Tenant is a partnership or limited liability company, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the partners or members, or transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of partnership or limited liability company interests, within a twelve (12) month period, or the dissolution of the partnership without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (ii) if Tenant is a closely held corporation (i.e., whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through a recognized regional or national exchange or over the counter), (A) the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant or (B) the sale or other transfer of an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting shares of Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason of gift or death), within a twelve (12)-month period, or (C) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant within a twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a
sale or other transfer of corporate shares of Tenant either (a) by Guarantor or (b) in connection with an initial public offering of Tenant’s shares on a nationally recognized stock exchange shall not constitute a Transfer hereunder.
14.7 Occurrence of Default. Any Transfer hereunder shall be subordinate and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall be terminated during the term of any Transfer, Landlord shall have the right to: (i) treat such Transfer as cancelled and repossess the Subject Space by any lawful means, or (ii) require that such Transferee attorn to and recognize Landlord as its landlord under any such Transfer. If Tenant shall be in default under this Lease (beyond
applicable notice and cure periods), Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized, as Tenant’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to direct any Transferee to make all payments under or in connection with the Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply towards Tenant’s obligations under this Lease) until such default is cured. Such Transferee shall rely on any representation by Landlord that Tenant is in default hereunder, without any need for confirmation thereof by Tenant. Upon any assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing all obligations and covenants of Tenant thereafter to be performed or observed under this Lease. No collection or acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee shall be deemed a waiver of any provision of this Article 14 or the approval of any Transferee or a release of Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, whether theretofore or thereafter accruing. In no event shall Landlord’s enforcement of any provision of this Lease against any Transferee be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to enforce any term of this Lease against Tenant or any other person. If Tenant’s obligations hereunder have been guaranteed, Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall not be effective unless the guarantor also consents to such Transfer.
14.8 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may assign its entire interest in this Lease or a sublease all or any portion of the Premises to any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant (a “Control Permitted Transfer”) without the consent of Landlord; provided that in the case of an assignment, such assignee shall agree in writing to assume all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Additionally, Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease, upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Landlord but without obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, to a corporation or other entity which is a successor-in-interest to Tenant, by way of merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization, or by the purchase of all or substantially all of the assets or the ownership interests of Tenant provided that (i) such merger or consolidation, or such acquisition or assumption, as the case may be, is for a good business purpose and not principally for the purpose of transferring the Lease, and (ii) the net worth of the assignee is greater than or equal to Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000.00), and (iii) such assignee shall agree in writing to assume all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease (a “Corporate Permitted Transfer”, and together with Control Permitted Transfer, collectively, “Permitted Transfer”).
ARTICLE 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 writing 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 or terminate any or all such sublessees or subtenancies.
15.2 Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 15, quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order and condition as when Tenant took possession and as thereafter improved by Landlord and/or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear, acts of God, casualty loss (covered by Section 11), condemnation (covered by Section 13) and repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted. Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, business and trade fixtures, free-standing cabinet work, movable partitions and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant, as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, require to be removed (the notification of which may be provided to Tenant either prior to or following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease), and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal.
ARTICLE 16
HOLDING OVER
If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination thereof, with 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 the product of (i) the Rent applicable during the last thirty (30) days of the Lease Term under this Lease, and (ii) a percentage equal to 150% during the first two (2) months immediately following the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, and 200% thereafter. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other applicable term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Nothing contained in this Article 16 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or
constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.
ARTICLE 17
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
Within ten (10) business days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, which, as submitted by Landlord, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E, attached hereto (or such other
commercially reasonable form as may be required by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Project, or any portion thereof), 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. Any such certificate may be relied upon by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of all or any portion of the Project. Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord (i) within twenty (20) days following written request therefor by Landlord from time to time during the Term (but not more than once per calendar year) and (ii) within twenty (20) days following written request therefor by Landlord from time to time during the Term if Tenant is in default of this Lease (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) or in connection with a prospective sale or financing of the Building or Project, Tenant’s current financial statement and financial statements of the two (2) years prior to the current financial statement year, to the extent available. Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, if such is the normal practice of Tenant, shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant. Landlord agrees that it will keep any non-publicly available financial statements confidential, except that Landlord shall have the right to deliver the same to any proposed purchaser of the Building or Project and to any mortgagee or lender of Landlord or such purchaser. Failure of Tenant to timely execute, acknowledge 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) Tenant is required to file reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) Tenant is current in its reporting obligations thereunder, and (iii) the reports required by such act are available to the public, including Landlord, then Tenant shall not be obligated to provide Landlord with financial statements pursuant to this Article 17.
Within ten (10) business days following a request in writing by Tenant, Landlord shall execute and deliver to Tenant an estoppel certificates in a commercially reasonable form reasonably required by Tenant (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect or, if modified, attaching a copy of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so
modified, is in full force and effect and the date to which the Rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to Landlord’s actual knowledge (without investigation or inquiry), any uncured defaults on the part of Tenant or stating the nature of any uncured defaults, and (iii) certifying the amount of Letter of Credit held by Landlord, if any.
ARTICLE 18
SUBORDINATION
This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Building or Project and to the lien of any mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrances now or hereafter in force against the Building or Project or any part thereof, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds, unless the holders of such mortgages, trust deeds or other encumbrances, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases, require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto. Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed
in lieu thereof (or if any ground lease is terminated), to attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the lienholder or purchaser or any successors thereto upon any such foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof (or to the ground lessor), if so requested to do so by such purchaser or lienholder or ground lessor, and to recognize such purchaser or lienholder or ground lessor as the lessor under this Lease, provided such lienholder or purchaser or ground lessor shall agree to accept this Lease and not disturb Tenant’s occupancy, so long as Tenant timely pays the rent and observes and performs the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be observed and performed by Tenant. Landlord’s interest herein may be assigned as security at any time to any lienholder. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of request by Landlord, execute such further commercially reasonable instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or underlying leases. 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 Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request by Tenant, Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement from Landlord’s future mortgagees and then current mortgagee on such mortgagee’s then current standard form of agreement, and reasonably acceptable to Tenant. “Commercially reasonable efforts” of Landlord shall not require Landlord to incur any cost, expense or liability to obtain such agreement, it being agreed that Tenant shall be responsible for any fee or review costs charged by such mortgagee. Landlord’s failure to obtain a non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement for Tenant shall have no effect on the rights, obligations and liabilities of Landlord and Tenant or be considered to be a default by Landlord hereunder. Landlord hereby represents that there is no mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Project as of the date of this Lease.
ARTICLE 19
DEFAULTS; REMEDIES
19.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default of this Lease by Tenant (each is called an “Event of Default”):
19.1.1 Any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any other charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof, when due for a period of five (5) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant; or
19.1.2 Except where a specific time period is otherwise set forth for Tenant’s performance in this Lease, in which event the failure to perform by Tenant within such time period shall be a default by Tenant under this Section 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 that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure such default; or
19.1.3 The abandonment (as defined in California Civil Code section 1951.3) of the Premises by Tenant;
19.1.4 The failure by Tenant to observe or perform according to the provisions of Articles 5, 17 or 18 of this Lease where such failure continues for more than three (3) business days after notice from Landlord; or
19.1.5 The filing by Tenant in any court pursuant to any statute of a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or arrangement for the appointment of a receiver of all or a portion of Tenant’s property; the filing against Tenant of any such petition, or the commencement of a proceeding for the appointment of a trustee, receiver or liquidator for Tenant, or a proceeding by any governmental authority for the dissolution or liquidation of Tenant, if such proceeding shall not be dismissed or trusteeship discontinued within thirty (30) days after commencement of such proceeding or the appointment of such trustee or receiver; or the making by Tenant or any guarantor hereunder of an assignment for the benefit of creditors. Tenant hereby stipulates to the lifting of the automatic stay in effect and relief from such stay for Landlord in the event Tenant files a petition under the United States Bankruptcy laws, for the purpose of Landlord pursuing its rights and remedies against Tenant and/or a guarantor of this Lease; or
19.1.6 Tenant’s failure to cause to be released any mechanics liens filed against the Premises or the Project on account of work undertaken by or on behalf of Tenant, within thirty (30) days after the date the same shall have been filed or recorded.
19.1.7 If the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease is guaranteed: (i) the dissolution or death of a Guarantor, (ii) the termination of a Guarantor’s liability with respect to this Lease other than in accordance with the terms of such guaranty, (iii) a Guarantor’s
becoming insolvent or the subject of a bankruptcy filing, (iv) a Guarantor’s revocation of or refusal to honor the guaranty, or (v) a Guarantor’s breach of its guaranty obligation on an anticipatory basis, and Tenant’s failure, within ninety (90) days following written notice of any such event, to provide written alternative assurance or security, which, when coupled with the then existing resources of Tenant, equals or exceeds the combined financial resources of Tenant and the Guarantors that existed at the time of execution of this Lease.
The notice periods provided herein are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice periods provided by law.
19.2 Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity (all of which remedies shall be distinct, separate and cumulative), the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, 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, 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 for damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:
occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:
(i) The worth at the time of award of the 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 necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, specifically including but not limited to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; and
(v) At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.
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 rate set forth in Article 25 of this Lease, but in no case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law. As used in Section 19.2.1(iii) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
19.2.2 Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any 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 shall at all times have the rights and remedies (which shall be cumulative with each other and cumulative and in addition to those rights and remedies available under Sections 19.2.1 and 19.2.2, above, or any law or other provision of this Lease), without prior demand or notice except as required by applicable law, to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of any provision hereof.
19.3 Subleases of Tenant. 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. In the event of Landlord’s election 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.
19.4 Form of Payment After Default. Following the occurrence of three (3) financial Events of Default by Tenant in any twelve (12) consecutive month period, Landlord shall have the right to require either or both of the following: (i) that all subsequent amounts required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease, be paid in advance on a quarterly basis, and/or (ii) that any or all subsequent amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, whether to cure 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.
19.5 Waiver of Default. No waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any of the 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, whether or not known to Landlord, shall not be deemed a waiver of any such default, except only in the payment of the Rent so accepted.
19.6 Efforts to Relet. No re-entry or repossession, repairs, maintenance, changes, alterations and additions, reletting, appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord’s interests hereunder, or any other action or omission by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, or to accept a surrender of the Premises, nor shall same operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, unless express written notice of such intention is sent by Landlord to Tenant. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives any right otherwise available under any law to redeem or reinstate this Lease.
ARTICLE 20
COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT
Landlord covenants that Tenant, on paying the Rent, charges for services and other payments herein reserved and on keeping, observing and performing all the other terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed, shall, during the Lease Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises subject to the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements hereof without interference by any persons lawfully claiming by or through Landlord. The foregoing covenant is in lieu of any other covenant express or implied.
ARTICLE 21
LETTER OF CREDIT
21.1 Letter of Credit. Concurrently upon the Guaranty Expiration Date (as defined in the Guaranty), Tenant agrees to provide, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, a Letter of Credit (as defined below) in the Letter of Credit Required Amount (as defined below) as security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of all of the provisions of this Lease, on the terms and conditions set forth below. The use, application or retention of the Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the Letter of Credit and the Letter of Credit shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. As used herein the term “Letter of Credit Required Amount” initially means $3,093,090.00. Subject to the remaining terms of this Article 21, and provided the Reduction Conditions (as defined below) have been satisfied at the particular reduction effective date, Tenant shall have the right to reduce the Letter of Credit Required Amount so that the new Letter of Credit Required Amount shall be $2,062,060.00 effective as of the first day of the first calendar month after the Reduction Conditions (as defined below) shall have been satisfied for twenty-four (24) consecutive months,
and $1,031,030.00 effective as of the first day of the first calendar month after the Reduction Condition (as defined below) shall have been satisfied for thirty-six (36) consecutive months]. If Tenant is not entitled to reduce the Letter of Credit Required Amount as of a particular reduction effective date due to the failure of one or more of the Reduction Conditions, then any subsequent reduction(s) Tenant is entitled to hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of the reduction Tenant would have been entitled to had all of the Reduction Conditions been satisfied. If Tenant is entitled to a reduction in the Letter of Credit Required Amount, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice requesting that the Letter of Credit Required Amount be reduced as provided above (the “Reduction Notice”). If Tenant provides Landlord with a Reduction Notice, and Tenant is entitled to reduce the Letter of Credit Required Amount as provided herein, the reduction shall be effectuated by Tenant replacing the Letter of Credit then being held by Landlord with a new Letter of Credit in the new Letter of Credit Required Amount or amending the then-existing Letter of Credit to that new Letter of Credit Required Amount. The term “Letter of Credit” means that certain one-year irrevocable letter of credit, in the Letter of Credit Required Amount, issued by the L/C Bank, as required under Section 21.2 and, if applicable, as extended, renewed, replaced or modified from time to time in accordance with this Lease, which letter of credit will be transferable and in substantially the same form as attached Exhibit G. The term “Reduction Conditions” means the following conditions which have been satisfied in Tenant’s annual audited financial statement for the applicable time period:
(a) Cash flow (as defined by, and determined in accordance with, GAAP) from operations (excluding cash from financings and other external source) is positive (i.e., equal to or greater than $0.01).
(b) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Lease.
21.2 Delivery of Letter of Credit. (a) Tenant shall cause a Letter of Credit, in the amount of the Letter of Credit Required Amount to be issued by the L/C Bank (as defined below) in favor of Landlord, and its successors, assigns and transferees; (b) Tenant will cause the Letter of Credit to remain in full force and effect during the entire Term and thereafter until sixty (60) days after expiration or earlier termination of the Lease; and (c) the initial Letter of Credit will be delivered to Landlord no later than, and as a condition to the effectiveness of, the Guaranty Expiration Date (as defined in the Guaranty). So long as no Event of Default then exists, Landlord shall return the Letter of Credit to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date. The specific requirements for the Letter of Credit and the rights of Landlord to make draws thereon will be as set forth in this Article 21. All of Tenant’s rights and all of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease are strictly contingent on Tenant’s delivering and thereafter causing the Letter of Credit to remain in full force and effect during the entire Term. The term “L/C Bank” means HSBC Bank USA, N.A., or any United States bank which is approved by Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion.
21.3 Draws on the Letter of Credit. Immediately upon, and at any time or from time to time after, the occurrence of any one or more Draw Events (as defined in Section 21.4 below), Landlord will have the unconditional right to draw on the Letter of Credit in accordance with this
Article 21. Upon the payment to Landlord of the Draw Proceeds (as defined in Section 21.4 below), Landlord will hold the Draw Proceeds in its own name and for its own account, without liability for interest, to use and apply any and all of the Draw Proceeds only (a) to cure any Event of Default by Tenant; (b) to pay any other sum to which Landlord becomes obligated by reason of Tenant’s failure to carry out its obligations under this Lease; or (c) to compensate Landlord for any monetary loss or damage which Landlord suffers thereby arising from Tenant’s failure to carry out its obligations under this Lease. In addition, if the Draw Event is the failure of Tenant to renew the Letter of Credit as required hereunder, then Landlord shall be entitled to draw the entire Letter of Credit as a cash security deposit, held as a pledge under the California Uniform Commercial Code to secure Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Among other things, it is expressly understood that the Draw Proceeds will not be considered an advance payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent or a measure of Landlord’s damages resulting from any Event of Default hereunder (past, present or future). Further, immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any one or more Draw Events, Landlord may, from time to time and without prejudice to any other remedy, use the Draw Proceeds (whether from a contemporaneous or prior draw on the Letter of Credit) to the extent necessary to make good any arrearages of Base Rent or Additional Rent, to pay to Landlord any and all amounts to which Landlord is entitled in connection with the pursuit of any one or more of its remedies hereunder, and to compensate Landlord for any and all other damage, injury, expense or liability caused to Landlord by any and all such Events of Default. Any delays in Landlord’s draw on the Letter of Credit or in Landlord’s use of the Draw Proceeds as provided in this Article 21 will not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any of its rights hereunder with respect to the Letter of Credit or the Draw Proceeds. Following any such application of the Draw Proceeds, Tenant will, within five (5) business days of written demand from Landlord, either pay to Landlord on demand the cash amount so applied in order to restore the Draw Proceeds to the full amount thereof immediately prior to such application or cause the Letter of Credit to be replenished to its full amount thereunder. Failure to either pay that cash amount or cause the Letter of Credit to be replenished to its full amount thereunder within five (5) business days after that application of the Draw Proceeds shall constitute an Event of Default. Landlord will not be liable for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages incurred
by Tenant arising from a claim that Landlord violated the bankruptcy code’s automatic stay in connection with any draw by Landlord of any Draw Proceeds, Landlord’s liability (if any) under such circumstances being limited to the reimbursement of direct costs as and to the extent expressly provided in this Section 21.3. Nothing in this Lease or in the Letter of Credit will confer upon Tenant any property rights or interests in any Draw Proceeds; provided, however, that upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and so long as there then exist no Draw Events or Events of Default hereunder, Landlord agrees to return of any remaining unapplied balance of the Draw Proceeds then held by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and the Letter of Credit itself (if and to the extent not previously drawn in full) to the L/C Bank.
21.4 Applicable Definitions.
“Draw Event” means each of the following events:
(a) the occurrence of any one or more of the following which shall have also been preceded, simultaneously accompanied, or succeeded by an Event of Default under this Lease regardless of the absence of any notice of default which might otherwise be required with respect to an Event of Default if the giving of notice to Tenant about such breach by Tenant is stayed or barred due to one of the following events: (i) Tenant’s filing of a petition under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency statute now existing or hereafter enacted, or Tenant’s making a general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors, (ii) the filing of an involuntary petition under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency statute now existing or hereafter enacted, or the filing of a petition for adjudication of bankruptcy or for reorganization or rearrangement, by or against Tenant and such filing not being dismissed within sixty (60) days, (iii) the entry of an order for relief under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency statute now existing or hereafter enacted, (iv) the appointment of a custodian, as such term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code (or of an equivalent thereto under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency statute now existing or hereafter enacted), for Tenant, or the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease and possession not being restored to Tenant within sixty (60) days, or (v) the subjection of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease to attachment, execution or other judicial seizure and such subjection not being discharged within sixty (60) days;
(b) the failure of Tenant, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the stated expiration date of the Letter of Credit then in effect, to cause an extension, renewal or replacement issuance of the Letter of Credit, to be effected, which extension, renewal or replacement issuance will be made by the L/C Bank, will otherwise meet all of the requirements of the initial Letter of Credit hereunder, which failure will be an Event of Default under this Lease;
(c) the failure of Tenant to make when due any payment of Base Rent, of any monthly installment of any Additional Rent, or pay any other monetary obligation within five (5) days after the amount is due; provided that in the event Tenant is entitled to a notice prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default for non-payment of Base Rent or any other amount
pursuant to Section 19.1.1, this Draw Event shall not be deemed to have occurred until expiration of five (5) days after that notice (or, if Landlord is prevented from giving notice by application of the bankruptcy code’s automatic stay, any failure of Tenant to make when due any payment of Base Rent, of any monthly installment of any Additional Rent, or to pay any other monetary obligation within five (5) days after the amount is due).
(d) the payment by Landlord of any sum to cure a failure by Tenant to comply with any non-monetary obligation hereunder which Tenant has not cured within thirty (30) days after notice thereof by Landlord (or, if Landlord is prevented from giving notice by application of the bankruptcy code’s automatic stay, the payment of Landlord of any sum to cure
a failure by Tenant to comply with any non-monetary obligation hereunder that Tenant has not cured within thirty (30) days from the date of the breach).
“Draw Proceeds” means the proceeds of any draw or draws made by Landlord under the Letter of Credit, together with any and all interest accruing thereon.
21.5 Transfer of Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit shall not be mortgaged, assigned or encumbered in any manner whatsoever by Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has the right to transfer or mortgage its interest in the Premises and the Building and in this Lease and Tenant agrees that in the event of any such transfer or mortgage, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, have the right to transfer or assign the Letter of Credit and/or the Draw Proceeds to the transferee or mortgagee, and in such event, Tenant shall look solely to such transferee or mortgagee for return of the Letter of Credit and/or the Draw Proceeds so transferred. Tenant shall, within five (5) business days of request by Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm Landlord’s transfer or assignment of the Letter of Credit and/or the Draw Proceeds to such transferee or mortgagee.
21.6 Letter of Credit is Not Security Deposit. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the Letter of Credit, any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or the proceeds thereof be (i) deemed to be or treated as a security deposit within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1950.7, (ii) subject to the terms of such Section 1950.7, or (iii) intended to serve as a security deposit within the meaning of such Section 1950.7. The parties hereto (A) recite that the Letter of Credit is not intended to serve as a security deposit and such Section 1950.7 and any and all other laws, rules and regulations applicable to security deposits in the commercial context (“Security Deposit Laws”) shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto and (B) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations either party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent California Civil Code 1950.7 in any way: (a) is determined to be applicable to this Lease or the Letter of Credit (or any proceeds thereof); or (b) controls Landlord’s rights to draw on the Letter of Credit or apply the proceeds of the Letter of Credit to any amounts due under this Lease or any damages Landlord may suffer following termination of this Lease, then Tenant fully and irrevocably waives the benefits and protections of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, it being agreed that Landlord may recover from the Letter of Credit (or its proceeds) all of Landlord’s damages under this Lease and California law including, but not limited to, any damages accruing upon the termination of this Lease in accordance with this Lease and Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code.
21.7 Substitute Letter of Credit. In the event the L/C Bank is declared insolvent by the FDIC or is closed for any reason, Tenant shall immediately provide a substitute Letter of Credit meeting the requirements of this Article 21 from another national or regional United States bank which is approved by Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion.

ARTICLE 23
SIGNS
23.1 Prohibited Signage and Other Items. Any exterior signs, notices, logos, pictures, names or advertisements which are installed and that have not been either separately approved by Landlord or otherwise permitted pursuant to this Section 23 may be removed without notice by Landlord at the sole expense of Tenant. Except as permitted pursuant to this Section 23, Tenant may not install any signs on the exterior or roof of the Project or the Common Areas. Any signs, window coverings, or blinds (even if the same are located behind the Landlord-approved window coverings for the Building), or other items visible from the exterior of the Premises or Building, shall be subject to the prior approval of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, may install signage anywhere in the interior portion of the Premises, including in the elevator lobby of the Premises, provided that such signs must not be visible from the exterior of the Building.
23.2 Building Directory. An electronic building directory will be located in the lobby of the Building. Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to designate a reasonable number of listings to be displayed in such electronic directory.
23.3 Tenant’s Signage.
23.3.1 Tenant shall be entitled to install the following signage (collectively, the “Tenant’s Signage”):
(a) To the extent allowed pursuant to applicable laws and the provisions of any CC&R’s affecting the Project, signage on the exterior of the Building identifying Tenant’s name or logo located at the top of the Building (the “Building Top Signage”).
(b) One space at the top of the existing monument sign located adjacent to the Building and any future monument sign constructed or installed adjacent to the Building (the “Tenant’s Monument Signage”).
(c) Directional signage within the freight, loading dock, receiving and service elevators areas of the Building.
23.3.2 Tenant’s Signage shall set forth Tenant’s name and logo as determined by Tenant in its sole discretion; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant’s Signage include an “Objectionable Name,” as that term is defined in Section 23.3.3, of this Lease. The graphics,
materials, color, design, lettering, lighting, size, illumination, specifications and exact location of Tenant’s Signage (collectively, the “Sign Specifications”) shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and reasonably acceptable to Tenant, and shall be consistent and compatible with the
quality and nature of the Project. For purposes of this Section 23.3.2, the reference to “name” shall mean name and/or logo. In addition, Tenant’s Signage shall be subject to Tenant’s receipt of all required governmental permits and approvals and shall be subject to all applicable laws and to any CC&R’s affecting the Project. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Tenant in obtaining all necessary governmental permits and approvals for Tenant’s Signage. Tenant hereby acknowledges that, notwithstanding Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s Signage, Landlord has made no representation or warranty to Tenant with respect to the probability of obtaining all necessary governmental approvals and permits for Tenant’s Signage. In the event Tenant does not receive the necessary governmental approvals and permits for Tenant’s Signage, Tenant’s and Landlord’s rights and obligations under the remaining provisions of this Lease shall be unaffected.
23.3.3 To the extent Tenant desires to change the name and/or logo set forth on Tenant’s Signage, such name and/or logo shall not have a name which relates to an entity which is of a character or reputation, or is associated with a political faction or orientation, which is inconsistent with the quality of the Project, or which would otherwise reasonably offend a landlord of the Comparable Buildings (an “Objectionable Name”).
23.3.4 The rights contained in this Section 23.3 with respect to the Building Top Signage shall be personal to the Tenant named originally in this Lease (the “Original Tenant”), and may only be exercised and maintained by such Original Tenant and any Transferee in connection with any Permitted Assignment (and not any assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenant’s interest in this Lease other than a Transferee in connection with any Permitted Assignment). The rights contained in this Section 23.3 with respect to the Tenant’s Monument Signage shall inure to the benefit of Tenant and Tenant’s Transferees and may be exercised and maintained by Tenant and Tenant’s transferees.
23.3.5 In the event Tenant (or a Transferee in connection with any Permitted Transfer) vacates or ceases the bona fide conduct of its business in the Premises for a period of time longer than sixty (60) days, then Landlord shall have the right upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Tenant to either remove Tenant’s Monument Signage or Building Top Signage or require Tenant to remove the same. In the event Landlord gives that notice, Tenant’s rights to Tenant’s Monument Signage and/or Building Top Signage shall terminate and such Tenant’s Signage shall be removed unless Tenant reoccupies at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the rentable area of the Premises for bona fide purposes of conducting business therein prior to the expiration of that thirty (30) day period. For purposes of this Article 23, Tenant shall be deemed to not be conducting its business in any space subject to a sublease.
23.3.6 The costs of the actual signs comprising Tenant’s Signage and the installation, design, construction, and any and all other costs associated with Tenant’s Signage, including, without limitation, utility charges and hook-up fees, permits, and maintenance and repairs, shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. Should Tenant’s Signage require repairs and/or maintenance, as determined in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, Landlord shall have the right to provide written notice thereof to Tenant and Tenant (except as set forth above) shall cause such
repairs and/or maintenance to be performed within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, if such repairs and/or maintenance are reasonably expected to require longer than thirty (30) days to perform, Tenant shall commence such repairs and/or maintenance within such thirty (30) day period and shall diligently prosecute such repairs and maintenance to completion. Should Tenant fail to perform such repairs and/or maintenance within the periods described in the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord shall, upon the delivery of an additional five (5) business days’ prior written notice, have the right to cause such work to be performed and to charge Tenant as Additional Rent for the reasonable, actual out-of-pocket cost of such work. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or the earlier termination of Tenant’s signage rights pursuant to this Section 23, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, cause Tenant’s Signage to be removed and shall cause the areas in which such Tenant’s Signage was located to be restored to the condition existing immediately prior to the placement of such Tenant’s Signage. If Tenant fails to timely remove such Tenant’s Signage or to restore the areas in which such Tenant’s Signage was located, as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, then Landlord, upon the delivery of an additional five (5) business days’ prior written notice, may perform such work, and all actual out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Landlord in so performing shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor. The provisions of this Section 23.3.6 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 24
COMPLIANCE WITH LAW
Tenant shall not do anything or suffer anything to be done in or about the Premises or the Project which will in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or other governmental rule, regulation or requirement now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated. At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with all such governmental measures. Should any standard or regulation now or hereafter be imposed on Landlord or Tenant by a state, federal or local governmental body charged with the establishment, regulation and enforcement of occupational, health or safety standards for employers, employees, landlords or tenants, then Tenant agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to comply promptly with such standards or regulations. Landlord has made no representation regarding compliance of the Premises with accessibility standards. Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, to make all alterations to the Premises as are required to comply with the governmental rules, regulations, requirements or standards described in this Article 24 to the extent related to Tenant’s particular use or occupancy of the Premises or Tenant’s Alterations Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall not be obligated to comply with any governmental rules, regulations, requirements or standards requiring structural alterations to the Premises or the Building or alterations to the Building’s mechanical, electrical, plumbing, life-safety or other systems unless the application of such governmental rules, regulations, requirements or standards arises from (a) the specific manner and nature of Tenant’s particular use or occupancy of the Premises, as distinct from general office use, (b) Alterations made by Tenant, or (c) a breach of any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Landlord shall comply with all applicable laws relating to the
Base Building, provided that compliance with such applicable laws is not the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease, and provided further that Landlord’s failure to comply therewith would prohibit Tenant from obtaining or maintaining a certificate of occupancy (or its legal equivalent) for the Premises, or would
unreasonably and materially affect the safety of Tenant’s employees or create a significant health hazard for Tenant’s employees or otherwise materially and adversely affect Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises. Landlord shall be permitted to include in Operating Expenses any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord under this Article 24 to the extent consistent with the terms of Article 4 above. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any judicial action, regardless of whether Landlord is a party thereto, that Tenant has violated any of said governmental measures, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant. Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1938, Tenant is hereby notified that, as of the date hereof, the Building has not undergone an inspection by a “Certified Access Specialist” and except to the extent expressly set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall have no liability or responsibility to make any repairs or modifications to the Premises or the Project in order to comply with accessibility standards. The following disclosure is hereby made pursuant to applicable California law: “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.” Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has made no representation regarding compliance of the Premises or the Project with accessibility standards. Any CASp inspection shall be conducted in compliance with reasonable rules in effect at the Building with regard to such inspections and shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent.
ARTICLE 25
LATE CHARGES
If any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee when due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount plus any reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due 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 the date they are due shall bear interest from the date when due until paid at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the annual “Bank Prime Loan” rate cited in the Federal Reserve
Statistical Release Publication H.15(519), published weekly (or such other comparable index as Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably agree upon if such rate ceases to be published) plus two (2) percentage points, and (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law (the “Default Rate”). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 25, the late charge shall not be imposed with respect to the first late payment in any calendar year during the Term unless the applicable payment due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within five (5) days following written notice from Landlord
that such payment was not received when due. Following the first such written notice from Landlord in any calendar year during the Term (but regardless of whether such payment has been received within such five (5) day period), the late charge will be imposed without notice for any subsequent payment due from Tenant during such calendar year which is not received within five (5) days after its due date.
ARTICLE 26

All covenants and agreements to be kept or performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any reduction of Rent, except to the extent, if any, otherwise expressly provided herein. If Tenant shall fail to perform any obligation under this Lease, and such failure shall continue in excess of the applicable time allowed under Section 19.1, above, unless a specific time period is otherwise stated in this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant’s part without waiving its rights based upon any default of Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE 27
ENTRY BY LANDLORD
Landlord reserves the right at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to Tenant (upon not less than forty-eight (48) hours advance written notice, except in the case of emergencies in which case no such notice shall be required and such entry may be at any time) to
enter the Premises to (i) inspect them; (ii) show the Premises to prospective purchasers, or to current or prospective mortgagees, ground or underlying lessors or insurers or, during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, to prospective tenants; (iii) post notices of nonresponsibility; or (iv) alter, improve or repair the Premises or the Building, or for structural alterations, repairs or improvements to the Building or the Building’s systems and equipment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 27, Landlord may enter the Premises at any time to (A) perform services required of Landlord, including janitorial service; (B) take possession due to any breach of this Lease in the manner provided herein; and (C) perform any covenants of Tenant which Tenant fails to perform (after any applicable notice and cure periods). Tenant shall
additionally have the right to require that Landlord be accompanied by a representative of Tenant during any such entry so long as Tenant makes a representative available at the time of Landlord’s entrance onto the Premises, and provided that such representative does not unreasonably interfere with Landlord. Landlord and Landlord’s agents shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interruption of Tenant’s operations in the Premises during any entry into the Premises pursuant to this Article 27. Landlord may make any such entries without the abatement of Rent, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, and may take such reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated purposes. Tenant hereby waives any claims for damages or for any injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, lost profits, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby. 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 reasonably proper to open the doors in and to the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article 27, Tenant may designate in writing certain reasonable areas of the Premises as “Secured Areas” should Tenant require such areas for the purpose of securing certain valuable property or confidential or proprietary information. In connection with the foregoing, Landlord shall not enter such Secured Areas except in the event of an emergency. Landlord shall not be obligated to provide to any areas designated by Tenant as Secured Areas Building services or maintenance which require Landlord’s entry to such Secured Areas in the event Tenant does not provide access to such Secured Areas after Landlord’s request to the extent reasonably necessary for the performance of such services or maintenance. Any entry into the Premises by Landlord in the manner hereinbefore described shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises. No provision of this Lease shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs, alterations or decorations except as otherwise expressly agreed to be performed by Landlord herein.
ARTICLE 28
TENANT PARKING
The use by Tenant, its employees and invitees, of the parking facilities of the Project (the “Parking Facilities”) shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit D-1 attached
hereto and by this reference incorporated herein and shall be subject to such other agreement between Landlord and Tenant as may hereinafter be established and to such other rules and regulations as Landlord may establish. Tenant, its employees and invitees shall use no more than the Maximum Parking Allocation. Tenant’s use of the parking spaces shall be confined to the Project. If, in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment, it becomes necessary, Landlord shall exercise due diligence to cause the creation of cross-parking easements and such other agreements as are necessary to permit Tenant, its employees and invitees to use parking spaces on properties and buildings which are separate legal parcels from the Project. Tenant acknowledges that other tenants of the Project and the tenants of the other buildings, their employees and invitees, may be given the right to park at the Project. Landlord reserves the right to change any existing or future parking area, roads, or driveways, or increase or decrease the size thereof and make any repairs or alterations it deems necessary to the parking area, roads and driveways provided, that the Maximum Parking Allocation referred to herein are made available to Tenant and Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s parking or Tenant’s access to the Premises in the course of such repairs or alterations.

The liability of Landlord or the Landlord Parties to Tenant for any default by Landlord under this Lease or arising in connection herewith or with Landlord’s operation, management, leasing, repair, renovation, alteration or any other matter relating to the Project or the Premises shall be limited solely and exclusively to an amount which is equal to the lesser of (a) the interest of Landlord in the Building, or (b) the equity interest Landlord would have in the Building if the Building were encumbered by third-party debt in an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the value of the Building (as such value is determined by Landlord), provided that in no event shall such liability extend to any sales or insurance proceeds received by Landlord or the Landlord Parties in connection with the Project, Building or Premises. For purposes hereof, “the interest of Landlord in the Building” shall include rents due from tenants, proceeds from any
sale of the Project, insurance proceeds, and proceeds from condemnation or eminent domain proceedings (prior to the distribution of same to any member, partner or shareholder of Landlord or any other third party).

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

Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such other tenancies in the Project as Landlord in the exercise of its sole business judgment shall determine to best promote the interests of the Building or Project. 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 Project.
29.16 Force Majeure. Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, acts of war, terrorist acts, inability to obtain services, labor, or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental actions, civil commotions, fire or other casualty, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, except with respect to the obligations imposed with regard to Rent and other charges to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease (collectively, a “Force Majeure”), notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, shall excuse the performance of such party for a period equal to any such prevention, delay or stoppage and, therefore, if this Lease specifies a time period for performance of an obligation of either party, that time period shall be extended by the period of any delay in such party’s performance caused by a Force Majeure.
29.17 Waiver of Redemption by Tenant. Tenant hereby waives, for Tenant and for all those claiming under Tenant, any and all rights now or hereafter existing to redeem by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Premises after any termination of this Lease.

29.26 Project or Building Name and Signage. Landlord shall have the right at any time to change the name of the Project or Building and to install, affix and maintain any and all signs on the exterior and on the interior of the Project or Building as Landlord may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, desire.

29.27 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in counterparts with the same effect as if both parties hereto had executed the same document.

29.29.1 Subdivision. Landlord reserves the right to further subdivide all or a portion of the Project. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver, upon demand by Landlord and in the form requested by Landlord, any additional documents needed to conform this Lease to the circumstances resulting from such subdivision.

29.29.3 Construction of Project and Other Improvements. Tenant acknowledges that portions of the Project and/or the Other Improvements may be subject to demolition or construction following Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, and that such construction may result in levels of noise, dust, obstruction of access, etc. which are in excess of that present in a fully constructed project. Except for any offset rights Tenant is otherwise entitled to pursuant to Section 6.8, Tenant hereby waives any and all rent offsets or claims of constructive eviction which may arise in connection with such demolition or construction. Additionally, Tenant acknowledges that the lobbies, elevators, carriage area parking and other Common Areas of the Building and Project may from time-to-time be renovated/reconstructed by Landlord (collectively, the “Construction”).

Certain areas, including areas of the Project and Parking Facilities, which are currently being used by tenants of the Project, including by Tenant, will be unavailable for use by tenants of the Project during portions of the Construction. Tenant hereby agrees that such Construction and Landlord’s actions in connection with such Construction shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor, except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 6.8, entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent. Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the Construction, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or
damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the Premises, the whole or any part of the Project or Building resulting from the Construction or Landlord’s actions in connection with such Construction, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Construction or Landlord’s actions; provided that the foregoing shall not limit Landlord’s liability, if any, pursuant to applicable law for personal injury and property damage to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord agrees that in the event of any Construction: (i) Landlord shall not change the size, dimensions, location or Tenant’s Permitted Use of the Premises, (ii) Landlord shall make commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the disruption to Tenant’s business operations during standard business hours, and (iii) Tenant’s financial obligations under this Lease shall not be materially increased as a result of such Construction.
29.30 Building Renovations. It is specifically understood and agreed that Landlord has no obligation and has made no promises to alter, remodel, improve, renovate, repair or decorate the Premises, Building, or any part thereof and that no representations respecting the condition of the Premises or the Building have been made by Landlord to Tenant except as specifically set forth herein or in the Tenant Work Letter. However, Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord is currently renovating or may during the Lease Term renovate, improve, alter, or modify (collectively, the “Renovations”) the Project, the Building and/or the Premises. Tenant hereby agrees that such Renovations shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 6.8 entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 6.8, Landlord shall have no responsibility and shall not be liable to Tenant for any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the Renovations, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant’s personal property or improvements resulting from the Renovations, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Renovations; provided that the foregoing shall not limit Landlord’s liability, if any, pursuant to applicable law for personal injury and property damage to the extent caused by the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord agrees that in the event of any Renovations: (i) Landlord shall not change the size, dimensions, location or Tenant’s Permitted Use of the Premises, (ii) Landlord shall make commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the disruption to Tenant’s business operations during standard business hours, and (iii) Tenant’s financial obligations under this Lease shall not be materially increased as a result of such Renovations.
29.31 No Violation. Tenant hereby warrants and represents to Landlord that neither its execution of nor performance under this Lease shall cause Tenant to be in violation of any agreement, instrument, contract, law, rule or regulation by which Tenant is bound, and Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against any claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising from Tenant’s breach of this warranty and representation. Landlord hereby
warrants and represents to Tenant that neither its execution of nor performance under this Lease shall cause Landlord to be in violation of any agreement, instrument, contract, law, rule or regulation by which Landlord is bound, and Landlord shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Tenant harmless against any claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising from Landlord’s breach of this warranty and representation.
29.32 Communications and Computer Lines. Tenant may install, maintain, replace, remove or use any communications or computer wires and cables serving the Premises (collectively, the “Lines”), provided that (i) Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior written consent, (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), use an experienced and qualified contractor approved in writing by Landlord, and comply with all of the other provisions of Articles 7 and 8 of this Lease, (ii) an acceptable number of spare Lines and space for additional Lines shall be maintained for existing and future occupants of the Project, as determined in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, (iii) the Lines therefor (including riser cables) shall be appropriately insulated to prevent excessive electromagnetic fields or radiation, shall be surrounded by a protective conduit reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (iv) any new or existing Lines servicing the Premises shall comply with all applicable governmental laws and regulations, (v) as a condition to permitting the installation of new Lines, Landlord may require that Tenant remove existing Lines located in or serving the Premises and repair any damage in connection with such removal, and (vi) Tenant shall pay all costs in connection therewith.

In connection with such compliance, Tenant shall take responsible action for the transportation planning and management of all employees located at the Premises by working directly with Landlord, any governmental transportation management organization or any other transportation-related committees or entities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s compliance obligations pursuant to this Section 29.33 shall be at no cost to Tenant (other than to a de minimis extent) and shall not conflict with Tenant’s use of the Premises or adversely affect Tenant’s rights hereunder.
29.34 Wireless Communications.
29.34.1 Landlord’s Wireless Communication Equipment. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to install and maintain (either itself or through a third party service provider) certain office and communications services (specifically including, without limitation, wireless communication equipment) in the Building or Project, or any portion thereof (“Landlord’s Communication Equipment”); provided, that, such Landlord’s Communication Equipment (or the installation thereof) does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s business or use and enjoyment of the Premises.
29.34.2 Tenant’s Wireless Communication Equipment. Subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and subject to, in accordance with, and the terms and conditions set forth in Article 8, above, and this Section 29.34, Tenant may install and maintain, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, wireless communication equipment within the Premises (the “Wireless Communication Equipment”). Such Wireless Communication Equipment shall be used for wireless communications within the Premises only, and shall be for the servicing of the operations conducted by Tenant from within the Premises. Tenant shall not be entitled to license its Wireless Communication Equipment to any third party, nor shall Tenant be permitted to receive any revenues, fees or any other consideration for the use of such Communication Equipment by any third party. Such Wireless Communication Equipment shall, in all instances, comply with applicable governmental laws, codes, rules and regulations.

In no event shall any such interfere with Tenant’s Wireless Communication Equipment have any effect on this Lease or give to Tenant any offset or defense to the full and timely performance of its obligations hereunder, or entitle Tenant to any abatement of rent or additional rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, or constitute any accrual or constructive eviction of Tenant, or otherwise give rise to any other claim of any nature against Landlord.
29.35 OFAC. As an inducement to Landlord to enter into this Lease, Tenant hereby represents and warrants that: (i) Tenant is not, nor is it owned or controlled directly or indirectly by, any person, group, entity or nation named on any list issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury pursuant to Executive Order 13224 or any similar list or any law, order, rule or regulation or any Executive Order of the President of the United States as a terrorist, “Specially Designated National and Blocked Person” or other banned or blocked person (any such person, group, entity or nation being hereinafter referred to as a “Prohibited Person”); (ii) Tenant is not (nor is it owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by any person, group, entity or nation which is) acting directly or indirectly for or on behalf of any Prohibited Person; and (iii) neither Tenant (nor any person, group, entity or nation which owns or controls Tenant, directly or indirectly) has conducted or will conduct business or has engaged or will engage in any transaction or dealing with any Prohibited Person, including without limitation any assignment of this Lease or any subletting of all or any portion of the Premises or the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of a Prohibited Person.

ARTICLE 30
TENANT’S ROOFTOP RIGHTS
30.1 Right to Install and Maintain Rooftop Equipment. During the Lease Term and subject to the terms of this Article 30, Tenant may install on the roof of the Building telecommunications antennae, microwave dishes or other communication equipment, as necessary for the operation of Tenant’s business within the Premises, including any cabling or wiring necessary to connect this rooftop equipment to the Premises (collectively, the “Rooftop Equipment”). If Tenant wishes to install any Rooftop Equipment, Tenant shall first notify Landlord in writing, which notice shall fully describe the Rooftop Equipment, including, without limitation, its purpose, weight, size and desired location on the roof of the Building and its intended method of connection to the Premises. All of Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment must be at
locations reasonably approved by Landlord prior to any installation. Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment shall be screened as reasonably required by Landlord.
30.2 Additional Charges for Rooftop Equipment. Tenant will be solely responsible, at Tenant’s sole expense, for the installation, maintenance, repair and removal of the Rooftop Equipment, and Tenant shall at all times maintain the Rooftop Equipment in good condition and
repair. Landlord agrees that the named Tenant hereunder (or any Transferee in connection with any Permitted Transfer) shall not pay any rental charge for Tenant’s use of the rooftop pursuant to the terms of this Article 30 for the Initial Rooftop Equipment.
30.3 Conditions of Installation. The installation of the Rooftop Equipment shall constitute an Alteration and shall be performed in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Article 8 of this Lease. Tenant shall comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to the installation, maintenance and operation of Rooftop Equipment at the Building (including, without limitation, all construction rules and regulations) and will pay all costs and expenses relating to such Rooftop Equipment, including the cost of obtaining and maintaining any necessary permits or approvals for the installation, operation and maintenance thereof in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. The installation, operation and maintenance of the Rooftop Equipment at the Building shall not adversely affect the roof, roof membrane, structure or operating systems of the Building or the business operations of any other tenant or occupant at the Project. For purposes of determining Landlord’s and Tenant’s respective rights and obligations with respect to the use of the roof, the portion of the roof affected by the Rooftop Equipment shall be deemed to be a portion of the Premises (provided that such portion shall not be measured for purposes of determining the area of the Premises); consequently, all of the provisions of this Lease respecting Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall apply to the installation, use and maintenance of the Rooftop Equipment, including without limitation provisions relating to compliance with requirements as to insurance, indemnity, repairs and maintenance. Tenant may install cabling and wiring through the Building interior conduits, risers, and pathways of the Building in accordance with Section 29.32 in order to connect Rooftop Equipment with the Premises.
30.4 Non-Exclusive Right. Tenant’s right to install and maintain Rooftop Equipment is non-exclusive and is subject to termination or revocation as set forth herein, including pursuant to Section 19.2 of this Lease. Landlord shall be entitled to all revenue from use of the roof other than revenue from the Rooftop Equipment installed by Tenant. Subject to the terms set forth below in this Section 30.4, Landlord at its election may require the relocation, reconfiguration or removal of the Rooftop Equipment, if in Landlord’s reasonable judgment the Rooftop Equipment is interfering with the use of the rooftop for the helipad or other Building operations (including without limitation maintenance, repairs and replacements of the roof) or the business operations of other tenants or occupants of the Building, causing damage to the Building or if Tenant otherwise fails to comply with the terms of this Article 30. If relocation or reconfiguration becomes necessary due to interference difficulties, Landlord and Tenant will reasonably cooperate in good faith to agree upon an alternative location or configuration that will permit the operation of the Rooftop Equipment for Tenant’s business at the Premises without interfering with other operations at the Building or communications uses of other tenants or occupants. If
removal is required due to any breach or default by Tenant under the terms of this Article 30 (beyond applicable notice and cure periods), Tenant shall remove the Rooftop Equipment upon thirty (30) days’ written notice from Landlord. Any relocation, removal or reconfiguration of the Rooftop Equipment as provided above shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. In addition to the other rights of relocation and removal as set forth herein, Landlord reserves the right to require relocation of Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment at any time at its election at Landlord’s cost (but not more frequently than once per year) so long as Tenant is able to continue operating its Rooftop Equipment in substantially the same manner as it was operated prior to its relocation. In connection with any relocation of Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment at the request of or required by
Landlord (other than in the case of a default by Tenant hereunder), Landlord shall provide Tenant with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the required relocation and will conduct the relocation in a commercially reasonable manner and in such a way that will, to the extent reasonably possible, prevent interference with the normal operation of Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment. In connection with any relocation, Landlord further agrees to work with Tenant in good faith to relocate Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment to a location that will permit its normal operation for Tenant’s business operations. Landlord acknowledges that relocation of Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment may be disruptive to Tenant’s business and, without limiting its rights to require such removal, confirms that it will not exercise its rights hereunder in a bad faith manner or for the purpose of harassing or causing a hardship to Tenant.
30.5 Costs and Expenses. If Tenant fails to comply with the terms of this Article 30 within thirty (30) days following written notice by Landlord (or such longer period as may be reasonably required to comply so long as Tenant is diligently attempting to comply), Landlord may take such action as may be necessary to comply with these requirements. In such event, Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for all reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord to effect any such maintenance, removal or other compliance subject to the terms of this Article 30, including interest on all such amounts incurred at the Default Rate, accruing from the date which is ten (10) days after the date of Landlord’s demand until the date paid in full by Tenant, with all such amounts being Additional Rent under the Lease.
30.6 Indemnification; Removal. Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord, its partners, agents, officers, directors, employees and representatives from and against any and all liability, expense, loss or damage of any kind or nature from any suits, claims or demands, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of Tenant’s installation, operation, maintenance, repair, relocation or removal of the Rooftop Equipment, except to the extent any such liability, expense, loss or damage results from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord or its agents, partners, officers, directors, employees, contractors or representatives. At the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant may and, upon written request by Landlord, shall remove all of the Rooftop Equipment, including any wiring or cabling relating thereto, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and will repair at Tenant’s cost any damage resulting from such removal. If Landlord does not require such removal, any Rooftop Equipment remaining at the Building after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease which is not removed by Tenant shall be deemed abandoned and shall become the property of Landlord.
30.7 Roof Access; Rules and Regulations. Subject to compliance with the construction rules for the Building and Landlord’s reasonable and nondiscriminatory rules and regulations regarding access to the roof and, upon receipt of Landlord’s prior written consent to such activity (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Tenant and its representatives shall have access to and the right to go upon the roof of the Building, on a seven (7) day per week, twenty-four (24) hour basis, to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under this Article 30. Tenant acknowledges that, except in the case of an emergency or when a Building engineer is not made available to Tenant in sufficient time to allow Tenant to avoid or minimize interruption of use of the Rooftop Equipment, advance notice is required and a Building engineer must accompany all persons gaining access to the rooftop. Tenant may install Rooftop Equipment at the Building only in connection with its business operations at the Premises, and may not lease or license any rights or equipment to third parties or allow the use of any rooftop equipment by any party other
than Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has made no representation or warranty as to Tenant’s ability to operate Rooftop Equipment at the Building and Tenant acknowledges that helicopters, other equipment installations and other structures and activities at or around the Building may result in interference with Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment. Except as set forth in this Article 30, Landlord shall have no obligation to prevent, minimize or in any way limit or control any existing or future interference with Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have caused this Lease to be executed the day and date first above written.

Section 2
TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
2.1 Tenant Improvements; Tenant TI Amount. Pursuant to the terms of this Tenant Work Letter, Tenant shall perform certain permanent improvements to the Premises (collectively, the “Tenant Improvements”). In connection with the performance of the Tenant Improvements by Tenant and subject to Tenant’s reimbursement right of the Tenant TI Amount in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof, Tenant shall pay for the initial portion of such Tenant Improvements in an amount up to $45.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises (e.g., up to $3,501,990 based on 77,822 rentable square feet in the Premises) (the “Tenant TI Amount”).
2.2 Landlord TI Amount; Landlord Disbursement.
(a) Landlord shall contribute an amount up to but not exceeding $40.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises toward the cost of the Tenant Improvements (the “Landlord TI Amount”) (e.g., up to $3,112,880 based on 77,822 rentable square feet in the Premises). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.2, Landlord shall make a one-time disbursement to Tenant of the Landlord TI Amount pursuant to written request by Tenant to Landlord (the “Disbursement Request”), provided that such Disbursement Request is received by Landlord on or before the date that is fifteen (15) months after the Commencement Date (subject to extensions for Force Majeure) (the “Landlord TI Disbursement Deadline”).
(b) Landlord shall issue payment to Tenant pursuant to the Disbursement Request within thirty (30) days after the latest to occur of: (a) Tenant submission to Landlord of paid invoices (together with such supporting documentation as Landlord may reasonably request) for all costs for which Tenant seeks reimbursement from the Landlord TI Amount, (b) delivery to Landlord of a certification from the Architect that all the work or supplies described in those invoices have in fact been applied to the Tenant Improvements and that the Tenant Improvements have been constructed substantially in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings (as defined below), (c) delivery to Landlord of copies of fully
executed final, unconditional waivers and releases of lien rights from all contractors, and subcontractors
performing portions of the Tenant Improvements, and material providers providing materials for the Tenant Improvements, in excess of $5,000.00, in a form that complies with California Civil Code Section 8138 and is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (d) delivery to Landlord of Tenant’s certification of a list of all contractors, and subcontractors performing portions of the Tenant Improvements, and material providers providing materials for the Tenant Improvements in excess of $5,000.00. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.2(b), Landlord shall only be obligated to the disbursement contemplated hereunder on the condition that Tenant has first incurred and paid the Tenant TI Amount for the Improvement Allowance Items.
(c) Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any cash payment or credit against Rent or otherwise for any unused portion of the Landlord TI Amount which is not used to pay for the Improvement Allowance Items (as such term is defined below). In no event shall the TI Allowance (as defined below) be used for purposes of constructing improvements in the Premises for purposes of offering space for sublease or for the benefit of a subtenant. As the term is used herein, “TI Allowance” shall mean the sum of the Landlord TI Amount and the Tenant TI Amount.
2.3 Reimbursement of Tenant TI Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall be obligated to reimburse Tenant in the amount of the Tenant TI Amount within thirty (30) days after the latest to occur of: (a) the first day of the first calendar month after the Reimbursement Condition (as defined below) has been satisfied for twelve (12) consecutive months; (b) submission to Landlord of paid invoices (together with such supporting documentation as Landlord may reasonably request) for all costs for which Tenant seeks reimbursement of the Tenant TI Amount; (c) delivery to Landlord of a certification from the Architect that all the work or supplies described in those invoices have in fact been applied to the Tenant Improvements and that the Tenant Improvements have been constructed substantially in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings; (d) delivery to Landlord of copies of fully executed final, unconditional waivers and releases of lien rights from all contractors, and subcontractors performing portions of the Tenant Improvements, and material providers providing materials for the Tenant Improvements, in excess of $5,000.00, in a form that complies with California Civil Code Section 8138 and is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (e) delivery to Landlord of Tenant’s certification of a list of all contractors, and subcontractors performing portions of the Tenant Improvements, and material providers providing materials for the Tenant Improvements in excess of $5,000.00, and (f) delivery to Landlord of Tenant’s certification that the Reimbursement Condition has been satisfied for twelve (12) consecutive months together with a copy of Tenant’s annual audited financial statement covering such applicable time period, certified by Tenant as being a true, correct and complete copy of such audited financial statement. Notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 2.2(a) above, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Landlord TI Disbursement Deadline shall not apply to Landlord’s reimbursement obligation of the Tenant TI Amount pursuant to this Section 2.3. The term “Reimbursement Condition” means Tenant’s cash flow (as defined by, and determined in accordance with, GAAP) from operations (excluding cash from financings and other external
source) is positive (i.e., equal to or greater than $0.01), as reflected in Tenant’s annual audited financial statement covering such applicable time period.

2. Failure to Disburse Landlord TI Amount. If Landlord fails to timely fulfill its obligation to fund any portion of the Landlord TI Amount or the Tenant TI Amount, Tenant shall be entitled to deliver notice (the “Payment Notice”) thereof to Landlord and to any mortgage or trust deed holder of the Building whose identity and address have been previously
provided to Tenant. If Landlord still fails to fulfill any such obligation within five (5) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Payment Notice from Tenant and if Landlord fails to deliver notice to Tenant within such five (5) business day period explaining Landlord’s good faith reasons that the amounts described in Tenant’s Payment Notice are not due and payable by Landlord (“Payment Refusal Notice”), Tenant shall be entitled to offset the amount set forth in the subject Payment
Notice, together with interest at the Default Rate from the date Landlord was obligated to pay such amount until the date such amount is fully offset, against Tenant’s next installment(s) of Rent due hereunder, until fully offset by Tenant or paid by Landlord; provided, however, Landlord shall be obligated to immediately disburse to Tenant any undisputed portion of the Landlord TI Amount or Tenant TI Amount, as applicable. However, if Tenant is in default under the Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods at the time that such offset would otherwise be applicable, Tenant shall not be entitled to such offset until such default is cured. If Landlord delivers a Payment Refusal Notice with respect to any disputed portion of the Landlord TI Amount or Tenant TI Amount, Landlord and Tenant shall in good faith discuss the issues raised by Landlord in the Payment Refusal Notice in person or by telephone during the five (5) days after Tenant’s receipt of a Payment Refusal Notice. If after those discussions, Landlord and Tenant are not able to agree on the amounts to be so paid by Landlord, if any, within five (5) days after Tenant’s receipt of a Payment Refusal Notice, Tenant shall be entitled to offset such amount, together with interest at the Default Rate from the date Landlord was obligated to pay such amount until the date such amount is fully offset, against Tenant’s next installment(s) of Rent due hereunder, until fully offset by Tenant or paid by Landlord.

Accordingly, notwithstanding that any Construction Drawings are reviewed by Landlord or its space planner, architect, engineers and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord’s space planner, architect, engineers,
and consultants, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained in the Construction Drawings.

deviations in, and/or disapproval by Landlord of, the Tenant Improvements shall be rectified by Tenant at no expense to Landlord, provided however, that in the event Landlord reasonably determines that a defect or deviation exists or disapproves of any matter in connection with any portion of the Tenant Improvements and such defect, deviation or matter shall adversely affect the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating and air conditioning or life-safety systems of the Building, the structure or exterior appearance of the Building or any other tenant’s use of such other tenant’s leased premises, Landlord may, take such action as Landlord deems necessary, at Tenant’s expense and without incurring any liability on Landlord’s part, to correct any such defect, deviation and/or matter, including, without limitation, causing the cessation of performance of the construction of the Tenant Improvements until such time as the defect, deviation and/or matter is corrected to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction.

FORM OF LEASE GUARANTY
(See Attached)
LEASE GUARANTY
This Lease Guaranty (“Guaranty”), dated as of June 28, 2018, is executed by NETGEAR, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”), in favor of LT ORCHARD PARKWAY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), in conjunction with, and to induce Landlord to enter into, that certain Lease of even date herewith (the “Lease”) between ARLO TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”) and Landlord, pursuant to which Landlord is leasing to Tenant certain real property (the “Premises”) more particularly described in the Lease. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Guaranty shall have the meanings set forth for them in the Lease.
In consideration of the foregoing, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
1. Guaranty of Tenant’s Obligations. Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Landlord (a) the prompt payment by Tenant of all rent, additional rent and other amounts from time to time owing to Landlord under the Lease, and (b) the prompt and diligent performance and observance of all other terms, conditions, obligations and provisions of the Lease by Tenant. The payment of all such amounts and the performance and observance of all such other obligations and provisions shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Tenant Obligations.” Subject to the occurrence of the Guaranty Expiration Date (as defined below) this Guaranty will apply to the Lease, any extension or renewal of the Lease, and any holdover term following the term of the Lease, or any such extension or renewal. So long as no Event of Default exists and remains uncured on the Guaranty Expiration Date, concurrently upon the date (the “Spin Off Date”) on which Guarantor effects a distribution of its entire equity ownership interest in Tenant to its stockholders in a transaction that is generally expected to be tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 21 of the Lease, and upon the date (such date, the “Guaranty Expiration Date”) that is later of (i) Tenant’s delivery of such Letter of Credit to Landlord and (ii) the Spin Off Date, this Guaranty shall automatically terminate (including all obligations hereunder) and shall be of no further force and effect.
2. Modification of Lease; Assignment and Subletting. It is specifically agreed and understood that the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease may be altered, affected, modified, amended, compromised, released or otherwise changed by agreement between Landlord and Tenant, or by course of conduct and Guarantor does guaranty and promise to perform all of the Tenant Obligations of Tenant under the Lease as so altered, affected, modified, amended, compromised, released or changed and the Lease may be assigned by or with the consent of Landlord or any assignee of Landlord without consent or notice to Guarantor and that this Guaranty shall thereupon and thereafter guaranty the performance of the Tenant Obligations as so changed, modified, amended, compromised, released, altered or assigned. In addition, no subletting of all or any portion of Tenant’s interest in the Lease or the Premises shall impair or affect the continuing force of this Guaranty.
3. Reletting the Premises. In the event that Tenant defaults under the Lease (beyond applicable notice and cure periods), Landlord may, but shall not be required to, take such action
as Landlord deems appropriate to relet all or part of the Premises in order to reduce Landlord’s loss
or any liability under the Lease or this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of any other provision hereof, Guarantor shall reimburse Landlord within 10 business days following written demand from time to time for all expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord (including without limitation repair and improvement expenses, advertising fees and brokerage commissions) in connection with any such reletting of the Premises.
4. Guarantor Waivers. Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent allowed by law, all suretyship rights, defenses and other benefits to which it might otherwise be entitled (including without limitation any and all rights and defenses that may be available by reason of California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (a) Landlord shall be entitled to proceed against Guarantor with respect to any unfulfilled Tenant Obligation regardless of whether Landlord has proceeded, is then proceeding, or intends to proceed, against Tenant or any other person with respect thereto; (b) Landlord shall not be required to furnish Guarantor with copies of any notices given or required to be given to Tenant under the Lease, including without limitation notices of default; (c) Guarantor’s liability for the Tenant Obligations shall not be affected, released, terminated, discharged or impaired by (i) the existence of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to Tenant or any other person, (ii) any exercise, non-exercise or delay or lack of diligence in the exercise of remedies by Landlord against Tenant or any other person (except to the extent that the same has resulted in the fulfillment of the applicable Tenant Obligation), (iii) any assignment or other transfer (voluntary or involuntary) of Tenant’s interests in the Lease, (iv) the rejection of the Lease in any bankruptcy proceeding with respect to Tenant, or any other release or discharge of Tenant in any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding; (v) any amendment of the Lease; (vi) any change in the time, manner or place of payment, performance or observance of any of the Tenant Obligations; (vii) any waiver of, or any assertion or enforcement or failure or refusal to assert or enforce, or any consent or indulgence granted by Landlord with respect to a departure from, any term of the Lease, including without limitation the waiver of any default by Tenant, or the making of any other arrangement with, or the accepting of any compensation or settlement from, Tenant; provided that to the extent that Landlord provides Tenant with a written waiver of, or written agreement with respect to a consent or indulgence with respect to a departure from, any term of the Lease, the Tenant Obligations for which Guarantor is liable under the Guaranty shall be deemed modified to reflect the terms of such written waiver or agreement; (viii) any other guaranty now or hereafter executed by Guarantor or any other guarantor or the release of any other guarantor from liability for the payment, performance or observance of any of the Tenant Obligations, whether by operation of law or otherwise; or (ix) any defect in or invalidity of the Lease caused by Tenant; and (d) Guarantor hereby expressly waives (i) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and of any change in the financial condition of Tenant, (ii) presentment, demand and protest, (iii) until such time as all defaulted Tenant Obligations are fulfilled, all right of subrogation with respect to any obligation of Tenant that is fulfilled by Guarantor hereunder, (iv) the right to trial by jury in any action or proceeding arising out of or with respect to this Guaranty or the interpretation, breach or enforcement hereof, (v) the right to interpose any setoff or counterclaim in any action or proceeding arising out of or with respect to this Guaranty (other than full payment or
performance of Tenant’s Obligations), (vi) any right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of the assets of Tenant or to cause Landlord to apply to any Tenant Obligation any security deposit or to proceed against Tenant or any collateral or security held by Landlord at any time or in any particular order, and (vii) any and all defenses relating to Landlord’s failure to perfect a security
interest in Tenant’s property and/or impairment of collateral. Guarantor subordinates any liability or indebtedness of Tenant held by Guarantor to the Tenant Obligations.
5. No Release.

Subject to the Guaranty Expiration Date set forth in Section 1, Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall continue until all rents due under the Lease have been paid in full in cash and until all of the other Tenant Obligations to Landlord have been satisfied, and shall not be reduced by virtue of any payment by Tenant of any amount due under the Lease. If all or any portion of the Tenant Obligations under the Lease are paid or performed by Tenant, the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) or performance(s) is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from Landlord as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise.

Guarantor further warrants and represents that Guarantor has reviewed and approved copies of the Lease and is fully informed of the remedies Landlord may pursue, with or without notice to Tenant, in the Event of Default under the Lease.

9. Guaranty of Payment and Performance. The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collectibility, and is not conditioned or contingent upon the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Lease or the pursuit by Landlord of any remedies which it now has or may hereafter have with respect thereto, at law, in equity or otherwise.
10. Jurisdiction. All disputes with respect to this Guaranty, and all actions to enforce this Guaranty, may be adjudicated in the state courts of California or the federal court sitting in San Francisco, California, and Guarantor hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such
courts in any action relating to this Guaranty. To the fullest extent permitted by law, this submission to California jurisdiction shall be self-operative and no further instrument or action, other than service of process, shall be required to confer jurisdiction over Guarantor in any such court.

the premises of which the Premises are a part or by any mortgagee or prospective mortgagee of such premises or any interest therein or by any prospective assignee or subtenant of Tenant.
16. Financial Statements. Annually during the Term of the Lease, promptly following Landlord’s request, Guarantor shall provide to Landlord financial statements which will include a balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity, statement of consolidated cash flows and such other financial information as Landlord may reasonably request. Non-audited financial statements shall be certified to Landlord and Landlord’s lender, if applicable, as being accurate and complete in all material respects (the “Certified Statements”). The Certified Statements shall be signed by an officer, authorized agent, partner or managing member of the Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) Guarantor is required to file reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) Guarantor current in its reporting obligations
thereunder, and (iii) the reports required by such act are available to the public, including Landlord, then Guarantor shall not be obligated to provide Landlord with financial statements pursuant to this Section 16.
17. Miscellaneous. This Guaranty shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the Guaranty Expiration Date, (b) be binding upon Guarantor, its heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns (whether this Guaranty is assigned voluntarily or by operation of law), and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Landlord and its successors and assigns or by any person to whom Landlord’s interest in the Lease or any part thereof, including the rents, may be assigned, whether by way of mortgage or otherwise (including without limitation any purchaser at a judicial foreclosure sale or trustee’s sale or a holder of a deed in lieu of foreclosure). Wherever in this Guaranty reference is made to Landlord or Tenant, the same shall be deemed to refer also to the then heir, legal representative, successor or assign of Landlord or Tenant, respectively. No provision of this Guaranty that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable or otherwise invalid shall affect the remaining provisions, and to this end all provisions hereof shall be severable. No failure or delay on the part of Landlord to exercise any power, right or privilege under this Guaranty shall impair any such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or any acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. This Guaranty shall constitute the entire agreement between Guarantor and the Landlord with respect to the subject matter hereof. No provision of this Guaranty or right of Landlord hereunder may be waived nor may Guarantor be released from any obligation hereunder except by a writing duly executed by an authorized officer, director or trustee of Landlord. The liability of Guarantor and all rights, powers and remedies of Landlord hereunder and under any other agreement now or at any time after in force between Landlord and Guarantor relating to the Lease shall be cumulative and not alternative and such rights, powers and remedies shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Landlord by law. Time is of the essence of this Guaranty. This Guaranty shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. Electronic signatures are deemed to be equivalent to original signatures for purposes of this Guaranty. The exchange of copies of this Guaranty and of signature pages by electronic mail in “portable document format” (“.pdf”), or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original appearance of a document, shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Guaranty to Landlord and may be used in lieu of an original hard-copy
agreement. Guarantor hereby consents to the use of any third party electronic signature capture service providers as may be chosen by Landlord.
18. Civil Code Section 2822. In the event that, at any time and for any reason, Guarantor’s liability with respect to any obligation guaranteed constitutes only a portion of the applicable obligation, Guarantor hereby waives any right it might otherwise have under Section 2822 of the California Civil Code to have Tenant designate the portion of any such obligation to be satisfied in the event that Tenant provides partial satisfaction of such obligation. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that Tenant may already have agreed with Landlord, or may hereafter agree, that in any such event the designation of the portion of the obligation to be satisfied shall, to the extent not expressly made by the terms of the Lease, be made by Landlord rather than Tenant.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Guarantor has caused this Guaranty to be duly executed as of the date first written above.

EXTENSION OPTION RIDER
This Extension Option Rider (“Extension Rider”) is made and entered into by and between LT ORCHARD PARKWAY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and ARLO TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), and is dated as of the date of the Office Lease (“Lease”) by and between Landlord and Tenant to which this Extension Rider is attached. The agreements set forth in this Extension Rider shall have the same force and effect as if set forth in the Lease. To the extent the terms of this Extension Rider are inconsistent with the terms of the Lease, the terms of this Extension Rider shall control.
1. Extension Option Rights. Tenant shall, provided the Lease is in full force and effect and there is no Event of Default existing as of the date of delivery of the Exercise Notice by Tenant, or as of the end of the initial Lease Term, have one (1) option (the “Extension Option”) to extend the Lease Term for a period of five (5) years (the “Option Term”), which Extension Option shall be exercisable only by written Exercise Notice (as defined below) delivered by Tenant to Landlord as provided below. Upon the proper exercise of the Extension Option, the Lease Term shall be extended for the Option Term. The rights contained in this Extension Rider shall be personal to the original Tenant executing the Lease (the “Original Tenant”), and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant and any Transferee that is an assignee of Tenant’s entire interest in the Lease in connection with any Permitted Transfer (and not any assignee, sublessee or other transferee of Tenant’s interest in the Lease other than any Transferee that is an assignee of Tenant’s entire interest in the Lease in connection with any Permitted Transfer).
2. Extension Option Rent. The annual Base Rent payable by Tenant during the Option Term (the “Extension Option Rent”) shall be equal to the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Premises. As used herein, the “Fair Market Rental Rate” for purposes of determining the annual Base Rent for the Option Term shall mean the annual Base Rent at which tenants, as of the commencement of the Option Term, will be leasing non-sublease, non-equity, unencumbered space comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises for a comparable term, which comparable space is located in the Building and in other comparable first class R&D office buildings in the San Jose, California market area, taking into consideration all free rent and other out-of-pocket concessions generally being granted at such time for such comparable space for the Option Term (including, without limitation, any tenant improvement allowance provided for such comparable space, with the amount of such tenant improvement allowance to be provided for the Premises during the Option Term to be determined after taking into account the age, quality and layout of the tenant improvements in the Premises as of the commencement of the Option Term with consideration given to the fact that the improvements existing in the Premises are specifically suitable to Tenant). All other terms and conditions of the Lease shall apply throughout the Option Term; however, Tenant shall, in no event, have the option to extend the Lease Term beyond the Option Term described in Section 1 above. The Fair Market Rental Rate
shall include the periodic rental increases that would be included for space leased for the period of the Option Term.
3. Exercise of Extension Option. The option contained in this Extension Rider shall
be exercised by Tenant, if at all, only by delivering written notice (“Exercise Notice”) thereof to Landlord no sooner than the date (such date, the “Exercise Date”) that is fifteen (15) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term and no later than the date which is twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term. The Fair Market Rental Rate for the Option Term shall be determined pursuant to Section 4 below. Tenant’s failure to deliver the Exercise Notice on or before the applicable delivery dates therefor specified hereinabove shall be deemed to constitute Tenant’s waiver of its extension right hereunder.
4. Determination of Fair Market Rental Rate. If Tenant timely exercises the Extension Option, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the proposed Fair Market Rental Rate for the Option Term no later than twenty (20) days after receipt by Landlord of Exercise Notice (“FMR Notice”). It Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s proposed Fair Market Rental Rate, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly meet and attempt to agree upon the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Option Term. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Option Term within thirty (30) days of receipt by Tenant of the FMR Notice, Landlord and Tenant each, at its cost and by giving written notice to the other party, shall appoint a competent and impartial commercial real estate broker (hereinafter “broker”) with at least ten (10) years’ full-time commercial real estate brokerage experience in the geographical area of the Premises to set the Fair Market Rental Rate for the space and term at issue. If either Landlord or Tenant does not appoint a broker within ten (10) days after the other party has given notice of the name of its broker, the single broker appointed shall be the sole broker and shall conclusively determine the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Option Term. If two (2) brokers are appointed by Landlord and Tenant as stated in this paragraph, they shall meet promptly and attempt to set the Fair Market Rental Rate. In addition, if either of the first two (2) brokers fails to submit their opinion of the Fair Market Rental Rate within the time frames set forth below, then the single Fair Market Rental Rate submitted shall automatically be the initial monthly installment of Base Rent for the Option Term and shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If the two (2) brokers are unable to agree within ten (10) days after the second broker has been appointed, they shall attempt to select a third broker, meeting the qualifications stated in this paragraph within ten (10) days after the last day the two (2) brokers are given to set the Fair Market Rental Rate. If the two (2) brokers are unable to agree on the third broker, either Landlord or Tenant by giving ten (10) days’ written notice to the other party, can apply to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the county in which the Premises is located for the selection of a third broker who meets the qualifications stated in this paragraph. Landlord and Tenant each shall bear one-half (½) of the cost of appointing the third broker and of paying the third broker’s fee. The third broker, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either Landlord or Tenant. Within fifteen (15) days after the selection of the third broker, the third broker shall select one of the two Fair Market Rental Rates submitted by the first two brokers as the Fair Market Rental Rate for the space and term at issue. The determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate by the third broker shall be conclusive and binding upon Landlord and Tenant.
Upon determination of the initial monthly installment of Base Rent for the Option Term in accordance with the terms outlined above, Landlord and Tenant shall immediately execute, at Landlord’s sole option, either the standard lease agreement then in use by Landlord, or an amendment to the Lease. Such new lease agreement or amendment, as the case may be, shall set forth among other things, the initial monthly installment of Base Rent for the Option Term and the actual commencement date and expiration date of the Option Term. Tenant shall have no other
right to extend the Lease Term under this Extension Rider unless Landlord and Tenant otherwise agree in writing.
5. Condition of Premises. If Tenant timely and properly exercises its Extension Option, in strict accordance with the terms contained herein, Tenant shall accept the Premises in its then “AS-IS” condition and, accordingly, Landlord shall not be required to perform any additional improvements to the Premises, provided that an allowance for tenant improvements may be included within the Fair Market Rental Rate.
6. Limitations on, and Conditions to, Extension Option. At Landlord’s option, all rights of Tenant under this Extension Rider shall terminate and be of no force or effect if any of the following individual events occur or any combination thereof occur: ( i) Tenant has assigned its rights and obligations under all or part of the Lease or Tenant has subleased more than fifty percent (50%) of the rentable area of the Premises in one or more transactions for terms expiring during the last year of the Term, in each case other than in connection with a Permitted Assignment. and/or (ii) the Lease has been terminated earlier, pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Lease.
7. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each and every time period described in this Extension Rider.
