11


     or arising from any accident, injury, or damage whatsoever caused to any person, or to the property of any person, or (ii) any violation of applicable law by Tenant or those Tenant contractors, licensees, agents, servants, or employees, including, without limitation, any law, regulation or ordinance concerning trash, hazardous materials, or other pollutant occurring from and after the date that possession of the Premises is delivered to the Tenant and until the end of the Term hereof in or about the Premises, or (iii) any accident, injury or damage occurring outside the Premises, where such accident, damage or violation of applicable law results in injury from a willful or grossly negligent act or omission on the part of the Tenant or the Tenant’s agents or employees. This indemnity and hold harmless agreement shall survive termination of this Lease and include indemnity against all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in or in connection with any such claim or proceeding brought thereon, and the defense thereof. Landlord agrees to pursue all of its rights under Tenant’s insurance policy before seeking indemnification from Tenant, provided that Tenant’s policy is on an occurrence basis policy with limits as required by Section 21. Landlord agrees that Tenant’s indemnity shall only apply to the extent Landlord does not recover such costs, expenses and liabilities under any such policy. Tenant agrees that Tenant’s insurance shall be the primary insurance policy and that said policy shall be exhausted in its totality before Landlord seeks its own rights to recover under any additional policy. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be responsible or liable to Tenant, or to those claiming by, through or under Tenant, for any loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of persons occupying any adjoining space or any part of the Building, or for any loss or damage resulting to Tenant or to those claiming by, through or under Tenant, or its or their property, from the bursting, stopping or leaking of water, gas, sprinklers, sewer or steam pipes, unless such damage is caused by the gross negligence of Landlord.

Landlord shall be designated as an additional insured on any such policy. Tenant shall deposit with the Landlord certificates of such insurance at or prior to the Term Commencement Date and thereafter within thirty

The parties agree to use reasonable efforts to ensure that their policies will include such waiver clause or endorsement. Tenant waives all claims, causes of action and rights of recovery against Landlord for any loss or damage to persons, property or business which occurs on or about the Premises or the Building or the Project and results from any of the perils insured under any policy of insurance maintained by Tenant, regardless of cause. This waiver includes the negligence and intentional wrongdoing of Landlord, its agents, officers and employees, but is effective only to the extent of recovery, if any, under such policy.

14


   shall have failed to perform such obligations within thirty (30) days, or such additional time as is required to correct any such default, after receipt of written notice from Tenant to Landlord specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform any such obligation. If Tenant claims or asserts that Landlord is in default in the performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall not be relieved of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action for specific performance, declaratory judgment or injunction and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to any money damages or to terminate this Lease and in no event shall Tenant claim or assert any claim for money damages in any action or by way of set-off, defense or counterclaim and Tenant hereby specifically waives the right to any money damages, to terminate this Lease or any other remedies available at law or in equity.

Exhibit A

Expansion Premises



Exhibits

Following Landlord’s receipt of a timely delivered written notice (the “Exercise Notice”) that Tenant is exercising its option to renew the term as set forth in Section 15 of the Third Amendment (the “Renewal Term”), Landlord shall provide to Tenant Landlord’s estimate of the Prevailing Market Rent (as hereinafter defined) for the Renewal Term (Landlords Rent Quotation”), which Landlord’s Rent Quotation shall be delivered to Tenant on or before the date that is the later of thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt of the Exercise Notice and the date that is one (1) year prior to the expiration of the current term of the Lease. If at the expiration of thirty (30) days after the date when Landlord provides such quotation to Tenant (the “Negotiation Period”), Landlord and Tenant have not reached agreement on a determination of Base Rent for the Renewal Term and executed a written instrument extending the Term of this Lease pursuant to such agreement, then Tenant shall have the right, for forty-five (45) days following the expiration of the Negotiation Period, to initiate a broker determination (the “Broker Determination”) of the Prevailing Market Rent for such Renewal Term, which Broker Determination shall be made in the manner set forth below. “Prevailing Market Rent” shall mean the anticipated rent for the Premises as of the commencement of the Renewal Term under market conditions then existing and taking into account all relevant factors. If Tenant timely shall have requested a Broker Determination with respect to the Renewal Term, then the Base Rent for the Renewal Term shall be the Prevailing Market Rent as determined by the Broker Determination. If Tenant does not timely request a Broker Determination, the Base Rent for the Renewal Term shall be the Landlord’s Rent Quotation.

Upon the first to occur of (x) the mutual agreement by Landlord and Tenant during the Negotiation Period of the Base Rent to be payable during the Renewal Term and execution of a written instrument extending the Term of this Lease pursuant to such mutual agreement or (y) the timely initiation of a Broker Determination by Tenant, then except as hereinafter provided, this Lease and the Term hereof shall automatically be deemed extended for the Renewal Term, without the necessity for the execution of any additional documents, except that Landlord and Tenant agree to enter into an instrument in writing setting forth the Base Rent for the Renewal Term as determined in the relevant manner set forth in this Exhibit B; and in such event all references herein to the term of this Lease shall be construed as referring to the initial term of this Lease, as so extended, unless the context clearly otherwise requires. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any exercise of the Renewal Option by Tenant shall be void, in Landlord’s sole discretion, if an Event of Default is ongoing at either the time of the Exercise Notice or at the time commencement of the Extension Term.

If Tenant timely initiates the Broker Determination, then then the Prevailing Market Rent shall be determined by three (3) appraisers as hereafter provided, each of whom shall have at least ten (10) years’ experience in the office market where the Premises is located and each of whom is hereinafter referred to as “appraiser”. Tenant and Landlord shall each appoint one such appraiser (and shall provide such appraisers with their then most recent respective estimate of the Prevailing Market Rent) and the two appraisers so appointed shall appoint the third appraiser (the “Neutral Appraiser”). The cost and expenses of each appraiser appointed separately by Tenant and Landlord shall be borne by the party who appointed the appraiser. The cost and expenses of the third appraiser shall be shared equally by Tenant and Landlord. Landlord and Tenant shall appoint


their respective appraisers no later than fifteen (15) days after the expiration of the Negotiation Period and shall designate the appraisers so appointed by notice to the other party. The two appraisers so appointed and designated shall appoint the Neutral Appraiser no later than twenty (20) days after the end of the Negotiation Period and shall designate such appraiser by notice to Landlord and Tenant. The Neutral Appraiser shall then choose either Landlord’s estimate of Prevailing Market Rent or Tenant’s estimate of Prevailing Market Rent as the Prevailing Market Rent of the space in question as of the commencement of the Renewal Term and shall notify Landlord and Tenant of its determination no later than sixty (60) days after the end of the Negotiation Period. For the avoidance of doubt, the Neutral Appraiser must choose either Landlord’s estimate of the Prevailing Market Rent or Tenant’s estimate of the Prevailing Market Rent, and the Neutral Appraiser shall have no authority to select any other amount as the Prevailing Market Rent. The Prevailing Market Rent determined in accordance with the provisions of this Exhibit B shall be deemed binding and conclusive on Tenant and Landlord, subject to the terms hereinbefore provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either party shall fail to appoint its appraiser within the period specified above (such party referred to hereinafter as the “failing party”), the other party may serve notice on the failing party requiring the failing party to appoint its appraiser within ten (10) days of the giving of such notice and if the failing party shall not respond by appointment of its appraiser within said (10) day period, then the appraiser appointed by the other party shall be the sole appraiser whose choice of either Landlord’s or Tenant’s estimate of Prevailing Market Rent shall be binding and conclusive upon Tenant and Landlord.

All times set forth in this Exhibit B are of the essence.


SIXTH AMENDMENT OF LEASE

THIS SIXTH AMENDMENT OF LEASE (the “Amendment”) is executed this 1st day of June, 2015 by and between AS CLOCK TOWER OWNER, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (including its successors and assigns, “Landlord”) and ACACIA COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).
