WORKLETTER AGREEMENT

(TENANT BUILD)

Except to the extent expressly provided in this Workletter, Landlord shall deliver the Expansion Space broom clean in its current “as built” configuration with existing build-out of the tenant space, with the Expansion Space and the Building (including the “Base Building”, as defined below) in their AS IS condition, without any express or implied representations or warranties of any kind by Landlord, its brokers, manager or agents, or the employees of any of them; and Landlord shall not have any obligation to construct or install any tenant improvements or alterations or to pay for any such construction or installation. This WorkLetter, including, without limitation, Section 2 hereof, governs the parties’ obligations with respect to the Tenant Improvements to be performed in the Expansion Space (it being agreed that the terms of Section 7.01(b) of the Original Lease apply with regard to any improvements or alterations performed in the Existing Premises, if any).

There shall be no Landlord Work, except as provided in this Section 2. Notwithstanding anything in Section 7.01(b) of the Original Lease to the contrary, Landlord, at its sole cost and expense (and subject to inclusion in Operating Expenses to the extent permitted by Article 4 of the Original Lease), shall be responsible for correcting any violations of Laws (including Title III of the ADA), as interpreted and enforced to apply to the exterior Common Areas of the Building as of the date Landlord delivers possession of the Expansion Space to Tenant (the “Delivery Date”), to the extent such violations of Laws are existing as of the Delivery Date in the exterior Common Areas of the Building (with any such corrections referred to herein as the “Required Upgrades”). Landlord shall have the right to contest any alleged Required Upgrades in good faith, including, without limitation, the right to apply for and obtain a waiver or deferment of compliance, the right to assert any and all defenses allowed by Law and the right to appeal any decisions, judgments or rulings to the fullest extent permitted by Law; provided that Landlord shall diligently prosecute any such contest and appeal. Landlord, after the exhaustion of any and all rights to appeal or contest, will make or pay for (as applicable) all Required Upgrades required in accordance with this Section. In the event that Tenant becomes aware of Required Upgrades, Tenant shall give prompt, written, reasonably detailed notice thereof to Landlord (“Upgrade Notice”). Following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Upgrade Notice, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts, subject to Landlord’s right to dispute or appeal, in good faith, the Required Upgrades as set forth above, to complete the Required Upgrades as soon as practicable following the date of receipt of Tenant’s Upgrade Notice. Landlord and Tenant agree to reasonably cooperate with each other in order to enable the Required Upgrades to be performed in a timely manner and with as little inconvenience to the construction of the Tenant Improvements as is reasonably possible, and Tenant agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to continue its planning and construction of the Tenant Improvements during the period of such Required Upgrades to the extent practicable and permitted by Law. Provided that Landlord is proceeding with diligence to complete the Required Upgrades in accordance with the foregoing provisions, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for any delays in completion of the Required Upgrades, nor shall Landlord be in default hereunder, nor shall such delay entitle Tenant to any credit or abatement of rent, but Landlord shall continue to proceed with diligence to complete the Required Upgrades as soon as practicable. For the avoidance of doubt, Landlord’s obligation to pay for the Required Upgrades as set forth above shall include (but not be limited to) the obligation to pay for the following: any required changes to the parking lot slope and the performance of any upgrades required to the sidewalk or ramp located outside the single door point of egress marked with a “*LR” (Landlord’s Responsibility) on the plan attached hereto as Exhibit B-1.

If Landlord disapproves of any of Tenant’s Plans, Landlord shall advise Tenant of what Landlord disapproves in reasonable detail. After being so advised by Landlord, Tenant shall submit a redesign, incorporating the revisions required by Landlord, for Landlord’s approval. The approval procedure shall be repeated as necessary until Tenant’s Plans are ultimately approved.
