It is agreed that by accepting possession of the Leased Premises on the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant formally accepted the same and acknowledged that the Leased Premises were in the condition called for hereunder, subject only to the foregoing representations and warranties of Landlord and the terms and conditions of the Work Letter.
2.5 Performance Of Tenant Improvements; Acceptance Of Possession. Tenant, pursuant to the Work Letter, performed the work and made the installations in the Leased Premises substantially as set forth in the Work Letter (such work and installations hereinafter referred to as the Tenant Improvements).
2.6 Surrender Of Possession. Immediately prior to the expiration or upon the sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all of Tenants signs from the exterior of Building 2 and shall remove all of Tenants equipment (including telecommunications wiring and cabling), trade fixtures, furniture, supplies, wall decorations and other personal property from within the Leased Premises, Building 2 and the Common Areas, and shall vacate and surrender the Leased Premises, Building 2, the Common Areas and the Property to Landlord in the same condition, broom clean, as existed at the Lease Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear (and casualty that is not the obligation of Tenant under this Lease to repair) excepted, and subject to Article 6 below. Tenant shall repair all damage to the Leased Premises, the exterior of Building 2 and the Common Areas caused by Tenants removal of Tenants property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, Tenant may, and in any event prior to removing any telecommunications wiring and cabling Tenant shall, provide Landlord with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice that Tenant intends to remove such wiring and cabling, and Landlord may, within the later to occur of (A) ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, and (B) ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, elect to have Tenant leave such telecommunications wiring and cabling in the Leased Premises, in which case Tenant shall leave the same in its then as-is condition and in any event shall not clip any labeling or coding used to determine the origin, destination and function of the wires and cables. Landlords failure to respond within the applicable period shall be deemed an election to have Tenant remove all such telecommunications wiring and cabling. Tenant shall patch and refinish, to Landlords reasonable satisfaction, all penetrations made by Tenant or its employees to the floor, walls or ceiling of the Leased Premises, whether such penetrations were made with Landlords approval or not. Tenant shall repair or replace all stained or damaged ceiling tiles, wall coverings and floor coverings to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord, except to the extent such staining or damage was caused by Landlords failure to maintain in accordance with Paragraph 5.1(b) below. Tenant shall repair all damage caused by Tenant to the exterior surface of Building 2 and the paved surfaces of the Common Areas and, where necessary, replace or resurface same. Additionally, to the extent that Landlord shall have notified or is deemed to have notified Tenant in writing at the time the improvements were completed that such improvements constitute Non-Standard Office Improvements (as defined in Paragraph 6.1 below) and that Landlord desired to have such Non-Standard Office Improvements removed at the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease, Tenant shall, upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease, remove any such Non-Standard Office Improvements constructed or installed by Landlord or Tenant and repair all damage caused by such removal. If the Leased Premises are not surrendered to Landlord in the condition required by this paragraph at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Landlord may, at Tenants expense, so remove Tenants signs, property and/or improvements not so removed and make such repairs and replacements not so made or hire, at Tenants expense, independent contractors to perform such work. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord in returning the Leased Premises to the required condition, together with interest on all costs so incurred from the date paid by Landlord at the Default Interest Rate until paid. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of all costs so incurred plus such interest thereon, within ten (10) days of Landlords billing Tenant for same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may consent (in its sole and absolute discretion, which consent may be withheld for any reason or no reason) to accept a cash payment from Tenant in lieu of Tenant completing all or any portion of the work required pursuant to this paragraph, such consent to be in a written notice specifying the work from which Tenant shall be excused.

ARTICLE 3
RENT, LATE CHARGES AND SECURITY DEPOSITS
3.1 Base Monthly Rent. For the month of January 2021 and continuing throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without prior demand therefor, in advance on the first day of each calendar month, cash or other immediately available good funds in the amount set forth as Base Monthly Rent in Article 1 (the Base Monthly Rent). Amounts due and payable on account of base monthly rent for the period from the Lease Commencement Date through May 31, 2020 were paid prior to the Effective Date, as was the Base Monthly Rent for the period from June 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.
3.2 Additional Rent. Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date (as determined pursuant to Paragraph 2.3 above) and continuing throughout the Lease Term, in addition to the Base Monthly Rent and to the extent not required by Landlord to be contracted for and paid directly by Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent (the Additional Rent), cash or other immediately available good funds in the following amounts:
(a) An amount equal to all Property Operating Expenses (as defined in Article 13) incurred or to be incurred by Landlord. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant Landlords reasonable estimate of any given expense (such as Landlords Insurance Costs or Real Property Taxes), or group of expenses, which it anticipates will be paid or incurred for the ensuing calendar or fiscal year, as Landlord may determine, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the estimated amount of such expenses for such year in equal monthly installments during such year with the installments of Base Monthly Rent. Landlord reserves the right to revise such estimate from time to time.
(b) Landlords share of the consideration received by Tenant upon certain assignments and sublettings as required by Article 7.
(c) Any legal fees and costs that Tenant is obligated to pay or reimburse to Landlord pursuant to Article 13; and
(d) Any other charges or reimbursements due Landlord from Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
3.3 Year-End Adjustments. Landlord shall bill Tenant for the Property Operating Expenses on an estimated basis in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 3.2 above, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant within four months following the end of the applicable calendar or fiscal year, as the case may be, a reasonably detailed statement setting forth (i) the amount of such Property Operating Expenses paid or incurred during the just ended calendar or fiscal year, as appropriate, and (ii) the amount that Tenant has paid to Landlord for credit against such Property Operating Expenses for such period. If Tenant shall have paid more than its obligation for such Property Operating Expenses for the stated period, Landlord shall, at its election, either (x) credit the amount of such overpayment toward the next ensuing payment or payments of Additional Rent that would otherwise be due or (y) refund in cash to Tenant the amount of such overpayment. If such year-end statement shall show that Tenant did not pay its obligation for such expenses in full, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such underpayment within thirty (30) days from Landlords billing of same to Tenant.
8
Tenant may, at Tenants sole cost and expense, cause an audit of Landlords books and records to determine the accuracy of Landlords billings for Property Operating Expenses under this Lease, provided Tenant (a) notifies Landlord in writing of Tenants election to have an audit performed within nine (9) months after Tenants receipt of such annual statement described above, and (b) completes (and delivers to Landlord the written results of) such audit within sixty (60) days after Landlord provides Tenant with access to the Books and Records (as defined below), and provided further that the person or entity performing such audit is not compensated on any type of contingent basis. If such audit reveals that the actual Property Operating Expenses for any given year were less than the amount that Tenant paid for Property Operating Expenses for any such year, then unless Landlord contests such audit results as provided below, Landlord shall credit the excess to Tenants next payment of Additional Rent. If such audit reveals that the actual Property Operating Expenses for any given year were more than the amount that Tenant paid for Property Operating Expenses for any such year, Tenant shall pay such amount to Landlord within thirty (30) days after completion of the audit. Landlord shall have the right to contest the results of Tenants audit and thereafter promptly have an audit performed (Independent Audit) by an independent certified public accounting firm selected by Landlord and acceptable to Tenant in Tenants reasonable discretion. In such case, the results of the Independent Audit shall be binding and conclusive on Landlord and Tenant, and any resulting overpayment or underpayment shall be handled as provided above. Tenant shall be responsible for the costs of such audit, provided that, if the Independent Audit reveals that Landlords determination of Property Operating Expenses as set forth in the Statement was in error in Landlords favor by more than five percent (5%), then Landlord shall pay the cost of such audit. Landlord shall maintain at all times during the Lease Term, at the office of Landlord in the San Francisco Bay Area, Landlords books of account and records prepared in accordance with Landlords standard method of accounting with respect to Property Operating Expenses, and shall retain such books and records, as well as contracts, bills, vouchers, and checks, and such other documents as are reasonably necessary to properly audit Property Operating Expenses (collectively, the Books and Records). If at any time Landlords office is not located in the San Francisco Bay Area, Landlord agrees to make the Books and Records available to Tenant at another location in the San Francisco Bay Area.
On Tenants request from time to time, Landlord and Tenant shall meet and confer in a good faith effort to determine those management practices most consistent with prudent management standards for similar Class A office and research & development buildings in the location of the Property. In no event, however, shall Landlord be required to agree to any change in Landlords management practices; provided, however, that during any period that Tenant is the tenant of the entirety of Building 2 and the entirety of at least one of the Other Buildings, Landlord shall be obligated to approve or disapprove management practices proposed by Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
The provisions of this Paragraph 3.3 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
3.4 Late Charge, And Interest On Rent In Default. Tenant acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant of any monthly installment of Base Monthly Rent or any Additional Rent will cause Landlord to incur certain costs and expenses not contemplated under this Lease, the exact amounts of which are extremely difficult or impractical to fix. Such costs and expenses will include without limitation, administration and collection costs and processing and accounting expenses. Therefore, if any installment of Base Monthly Rent is not received by Landlord from Tenant within five (5) calendar days after the same becomes due, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge in an amount equal
9
to the amount set forth in Article 1 as the Late Charge Amount, and if any Additional Rent is not received by Landlord when the same becomes due, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge in an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the Additional Rent not so paid; provided, however, that once but only once in any twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term, Tenant shall be entitled to written notice of non-receipt of Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent from Landlord, and Tenant shall not be liable for any Late Charge Amount or other late charge hereunder with respect thereto if such installment of Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent is received by Landlord within three (3) days after Tenants receipt of such notice from Landlord. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Landlord for the anticipated loss Landlord would suffer by reason of Tenants failure to make timely payment. In no event shall this provision for a late charge be deemed to grant to Tenant a grace period or extension of time within which to pay any rental installment or prevent Landlord from exercising any right or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenants failure to pay each rental installment due under this Lease when due, including the right to terminate this Lease. If any rent remains delinquent for a period in excess of five (5) calendar days, then, in addition to such late charge, Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on any rent that is not so paid from said fifth day at the Default Interest Rate until paid.
3.5 Payment Of Rent. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Lease, all rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States, without any abatement, reduction or offset for any reason whatsoever, to Landlord at such address as Landlord may designate from time to time. Tenants obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent and all Additional Rent shall be appropriately prorated at the commencement and expiration of the Lease Term. The failure by Tenant to pay any Additional Rent as required pursuant to this Lease when due shall be treated the same as a failure by Tenant to pay Base Monthly Rent when due, and Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies against Tenant as Landlord would have had Tenant failed to pay the Base Monthly Rent when due.
3.6 Security Deposit.
(a) Tenant shall deposit with Landlord, within three (3) business days after the Effective Date of this Lease, the amount set forth in Article 1 as the Security Deposit as security for the performance by Tenant of the terms of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, and not as prepayment of rent. Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a security interest in the Security Deposit, including but not limited to replenishments thereof. Landlord may apply such portion or portions of the Security Deposit as are reasonably necessary for the following purposes: (i) to remedy any Event of Default by Tenant in the payment of Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent or a late charge or interest on defaulted rent, or any other monetary payment obligation of Tenant under this Lease; (ii) to clean and restore and repair the Leased Premises, Building 2 or the Common Areas following their surrender to Landlord if not surrendered in the condition required pursuant to the provisions of Article 2, provided that Landlord has notified Tenant in writing of the cleaning and restoration required to be performed and Tenant has failed to commence such work within three business days after receipt of such notice, (iii) to remedy any other Event of Default of Tenant including, without limitation, paying in full on Tenants behalf any sums claimed by materialmen or contractors of Tenant to be owing to them by Tenant for work done or improvements made at Tenants request to the Leased Premises, and (iv) to cover any other expense, loss or damage which Landlord may at any time suffer due to Tenants Event of Default. In this regard, Tenant hereby waives any restriction on the uses to which the Security Deposit may be applied as contained in Section 1950.7(c) of the California Civil Code and/or any successor statute. In the event the Security Deposit or any portion thereof is so used, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, promptly upon demand, an amount in cash sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full original sum. Landlord shall not be deemed a trustee of the Security Deposit. If the Security Deposit is in the form of cash, Landlord agrees to and shall maintain such cash Security Deposit in a segregated account and not commingle it with any other funds. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit. If Landlord transfers
10
Building 2 or the Property during the Lease Term, Landlord may pay the Security Deposit to any subsequent owner in conformity with the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and/or any successor statute, in which event the transferring landlord shall be released from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit. Tenant specifically grants to Landlord (and Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1950.7 to the contrary) a period of ninety (90) days following a surrender of the Leased Premises by Tenant to Landlord within which to inspect the Leased Premises, make required restorations and repairs, receive and verify workmens billings therefor, cure any other defaults, deduct any damages, and prepare a final accounting with respect to the Security Deposit. In no event shall the Security Deposit or any portion thereof, be considered prepaid rent.
(b) Provided that (i) Tenant is not then in monetary default or material non-monetary default, (ii) Tenant has never been in monetary default or material non-monetary default beyond any applicable notice and cure periods expressly set forth in this Lease, (iii) the payment of Base Monthly Rent (excluding free rent and prepaid rent) under the Lease has commenced, and (iv) Tenant is then Applovin Corporation or an assignee of Applovin Corporation which is a Permitted Transferee (as defined in Article 7 below), then the amount of the Security Deposit shall be subject to reduction in accordance with this Paragraph 3.6(b), as follows: the Security Deposit shall be reduced to (A)(i) $4,076,363 at such point in time as Tenant achieves the twelve (12) month trailing Operating EBITDA (12-Month Trailing Operating EBITDA) of $100,000,000 for twelve (12) consecutive months; and (ii) $2,038,181 at such point in time as Tenant achieves 12-Month Trailing Operating EBITDA of $100,000,000 for twenty-four (24) consecutive months; or (C) $2,038,181 at such point in time as Tenant achieves 12-Month Trailing Operating EBITDA of $250,000,000 for twelve (12) consecutive months. For the avoidance of confusion, Landlord and Tenant agree that the Security Deposit shall never be reduced below $2,038,181. If Tenant is then in monetary default or material non-monetary default, the foregoing shall not be read to prevent Tenant from curing the applicable default and then being entitled to the applicable reduction once the default is cured if such cure is completed within the applicable cure period, if any, expressly set forth in this Lease.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may deliver to Landlord a clean, unconditional, irrevocable, transferable, letter of credit in lieu of cash for the Security Deposit (the Letter of Credit) in form and issued by a financial institution (Issuer) satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C. Landlord hereby approves JPMorgan Chase Bank as the Issuer. Tenant hereby waives any right to protest the Issuers honoring of the Letter of Credit, provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to limit Tenants rights and remedies against Landlord for an improper drawing of the Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit shall permit partial draws, and provide that draws thereunder will be honored upon presentation by Landlord. The Letter of Credit shall have an expiration period of one (1) year but shall automatically renew by its terms unless affirmatively cancelled by either Issuer or Tenant, in which case Issuer must provide Landlord 30 days prior written notice of such expiration or cancellation. The Letter of Credit shall remain in effect until ninety (90) days after the Lease Expiration Date. Any amount drawn under the Letter of Credit and not utilized by Landlord for the purposes permitted by this Lease shall be held in accordance with subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 3.6. If the Tenant fails to renew or replace the Letter of Credit as required under this Lease at least fifteen (15) days before its stated expiration date, Landlord may draw upon the entire amount of the Letter of Credit. No fees applicable to the Letter of Credit shall be charged to Landlord. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that: (i) Original Tenant prior to the Effective Date (A) delivered to Landlord a letter of credit in the amount of $6,114,544.00 in favor of Landlord (as Beneficiary), issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its L/C No. L5LS-715192 (the LOC), and (B) assigned its interest in the LOC to Tenant, and (ii) the LOC is currently being held by Landlord as, and constitutes, the Security Deposit.

Provided the same do not materially adversely affect Tenants access to or use of the Leased Premises or the Common Areas (including Tenants use of the parking areas and structures, but subject to Landlords rights with respect thereto set forth in the definition of Parking Ratio in Article 1 above, Landlord shall have the right to grant easements and access rights to third parties affecting the Common Areas.

Tenant shall not store, use or dispose of any Hazardous Materials except for ordinary office and cleaning supplies used in compliance with all Laws and Restrictions (Office & Cleaning Supplies). In no event shall Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties cause or permit to be discharged into the plumbing or sewage system of Building 2 or onto the land underlying or adjacent to Building 2 any Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall be solely responsible for and shall defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord and its agents harmless from and against all claims, costs and liabilities, including attorneys fees and costs, arising out of or in connection with Tenants or any of the Tenant Parties storage, use, release, and/or disposal of Hazardous Materials. If the presence of
16
Hazardous Materials on the Leased Premises caused or permitted by Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties results in contamination or deterioration of water or soil, then Tenant shall promptly take any and all action necessary to clean up such contamination, but the foregoing shall in no event be deemed to constitute permission by Landlord to allow the presence of such Hazardous Materials. At any time prior to the expiration of the Lease Term if Tenant has a reasonable basis to suspect that there has been any release or the presence of Hazardous Materials in the ground or ground water on the Leased Premises which did not exist upon commencement of the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the right to conduct appropriate tests of water and soil and to deliver to Landlord the results of such tests to demonstrate that no contamination in excess of permitted levels has occurred as a result of Tenants use of the Leased Premises. Tenant shall further be solely responsible for, and shall defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord and its agents harmless from and against all claims, costs and liabilities, including attorneys fees and costs, arising out of or in connection with any removal, cleanup and restoration work and materials required hereunder to return the Leased Premises and any other property of whatever nature to their condition existing prior to the appearance of the Hazardous Materials, to the extent such Hazardous Materials were introduced to the Property by Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties.
(c) Upon termination or expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant at its sole expense shall cause all Hazardous Materials placed in or about the Leased Premises, Building 2 and/or the Property by Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties, and all installations (whether interior or exterior) made by or on behalf of Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties relating to the storage, use, disposal or transportation of Hazardous Materials to be removed from the property and transported for use, storage or disposal in accordance and compliance with all Laws and other requirements respecting Hazardous Materials used or permitted to be used by Tenant. If Tenant uses any Hazardous Materials other than Office & Cleaning Supplies, then Tenant shall apply for and shall obtain from all appropriate regulatory authorities (including any applicable fire department or regional water quality control board) all permits, approvals and clearances necessary for the closure of the Property and shall take all other actions as may be required to complete the closure of Building 2, and the Property.
(d) At any time prior to expiration of the Lease Term, subject to reasonable prior notice (not less than forty-eight (48) hours) and Tenants reasonable security requirements and provided such activities do not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Tenants business at the Leased Premises, Landlord shall have the right to enter in and upon the Property, Building and Leased Premises in order to conduct appropriate tests of water and soil to determine whether levels of any Hazardous Materials in excess of legally permissible levels has occurred as a result of Tenants use thereof. Landlord shall furnish copies of all such test results and reports to Tenant and, at Tenants option and cost, shall permit split sampling for testing and analysis by Tenant. Such testing shall be at Tenants expense if such testing confirms the presence of Hazardous Materials in the soil or surface or ground water in, on, under, or about the Property, Building 2 or the Leased Premises, which has been caused by or resulted from the storage, use, release, and/or disposal of Hazardous Materials by Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties.
(e) Landlord may voluntarily cooperate in a reasonable manner with the efforts of all governmental agencies in reducing actual or potential environmental damage. Tenant agrees at all times to cooperate fully with the requirements and recommendations of governmental agencies regulating, or otherwise involved in, the protection of the environment. Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease or to any reduction in or abatement of rent by reason of any required compliance.
4.12 Rules And Regulations. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to establish reasonable rules and regulations and/or amendments or additions thereto respecting the use of Building 2 and the Common Areas for the care and orderly management of the Property. Upon delivery to Tenant of a copy of such rules and regulations or any amendments or additions thereto, Tenant shall comply with
17
such rules and regulations. A violation by Tenant of any of such rules and regulations shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease. If there is a conflict between the rules and regulations and any of the provisions of this Lease, the provisions of this Lease shall prevail. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable to Tenant for the violation of such rules and regulations by any other tenant of the Property, but Landlord agrees to enforce such rules and regulations in a nondiscriminatory manner.
4.13 Reservations. Landlord reserves the right from time to time to grant, without the consent or joinder of Tenant, such easements, rights of way and dedications that Landlord deems necessary, and to cause the recordation of parcel maps and restrictions, so long as such easements, rights of way and dedications do not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Leased Premises or the Common Areas by Tenant. Tenant agrees to execute any documents reasonably requested by Landlord to effectuate any such easement rights, dedications, maps or restrictions.
4.14 Roof. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord hereby reserves to itself and its designees all rights of access, use and occupancy of the Building 2 roof, and Tenant shall have no right of access, use or occupancy of the Building 2 roof except (if at all) to the extent provided in this Paragraph 4.14 or as otherwise required in order to enable Tenant to perform Tenants maintenance and repair obligations pursuant to this Lease. Subject to Tenants restoration and repair obligations under Paragraph 2.6, Tenant at its sole cost and expense shall have the right to install on the roof of Building 2, satellite dishes, television antennas, supplemental HVAC equipment, and related receiving equipment, related cable connections and any and all other related equipment (collectively, Rooftop Equipment) required in connection with Tenants business operations within Building 2, in an area to be agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, provided such installation does not impact the structural integrity of Building 2 nor void or negatively impact any applicable warranties. Tenant shall supply Landlord with detailed plans and specifications of the Rooftop Equipment prior to the installation thereof for Landlords review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Furthermore, Tenant shall have secured the approval of all governmental authorities and all permits required by governmental authorities having jurisdiction over such approvals and permits for the Rooftop Equipment, and shall provide copies of such approvals and permits to Landlord prior to commencing any work with respect to such Rooftop Equipment. Tenant shall pay for any and all costs and expenses in connection with, and shall repair all damage to the roof resulting from, the installation, maintenance, use and removal of the Rooftop Equipment.
4.15 Compliance with Ground Lease; Ground Lessors Consent to Sublease. Tenants occupancy of the Leased Premises is subject to the requirements of the Ground Lease. Tenant shall comply with the requirements of the Ground Lease at all times and shall not conduct any activities which would constitute a breach of the Ground Lease. Whenever in this Lease the consent or approval of Landlord or a governmental agency is required, the consent of Ground Lessor shall also be deemed required if and to the extent Ground Lessors consent is required under the Ground Lease, and there shall be no deemed consent of Ground Lessor under this Lease, notwithstanding that Landlords consent may be deemed given in certain circumstances expressly set forth herein (e.g., as set forth in Paragraph 7.3 below). If there is a conflict between the requirements of the Ground Lease and of this Lease such that compliance with this Lease would result in a breach of the Ground Lease or compliance with the Ground Lease would result in a breach of this Lease, the Ground Lease shall be controlling; otherwise Tenant shall comply with the provisions of both this Lease and the Ground Lease.
Landlord represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that: (i) complete copies of the Ground Lease and all amendments thereto, as well as a Recognition Agreement executed in connection with the Original Lease, are attached to this Lease as Attachment 4.15 and there are no other understandings between Landlord and Ground Lessor relating to the Leased Premises other than as set forth in the Ground Lease; and (ii) the Ground Lease is in full force and effect; and (iii) neither Landlord nor, to
18
Landlords knowledge, Ground Lessor are currently in default under the Ground Lease and, to Landlords knowledge, no event has occurred which with the passing of time or giving of notice would constitute a default under the Ground Lease. Landlord shall not amend or modify the Ground Lease in any manner that would materially adversely affect Tenants rights or increase Tenants obligations hereunder in any material respect.
4.16 Transportation Management. Landlord and Tenant shall fully comply with all present and future programs mandated by the City of Palo Alto intended to manage parking, transportation or traffic in and around the Property and/or the Building, and in connection therewith, Tenant shall take responsible action for the transportation planning and management of all of Tenants employees located at the Leased Premises by working directly with Landlord, any governmental transportation management organization, or any other transportation-related committees or entities. Such programs may include, without limitation: (a) restrictions on the number of peak-hour vehicle trips generated by Tenant; (b) increased vehicle occupancy; (c) implementation of an in-house ridesharing program and an employee transportation coordinator; (d) working with employees and any Property, Building, or area-wide ridesharing program manager; (e) instituting employer-sponsored incentives (financial or in-kind) to encourage employees to rideshare; and (f) utilizing flexible work shifts for employees.
ARTICLE 5
REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE, SERVICES AND UTILITIES
5.1 Repair And Maintenance. Except in the case of damage to or destruction of the Leased Premises, Building 2, the Common Areas or the Property caused by an act of God or other peril, in which case the provisions of Article 10 shall control, the parties shall have the following obligations and responsibilities with respect to the repair and maintenance of the Leased Premises, Building 2, the Common Areas, and the Property.
(a) Tenants Obligations. Except to the extent set forth in Paragraph 5.1(b) below as an obligation of Landlord, Tenant shall, at all times during the Lease Term and at its sole cost and expense, regularly clean and continuously keep and maintain in good order, condition and repair the Leased Premises and Building 2 and every part thereof including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) all interior walls, floors and ceilings (except to the extent the maintenance or repair in question is to the Building 2 structural support system), (ii) the interior surfaces of all windows, doors and skylights, (iii) all electrical wiring, conduits, connectors and fixtures, (iv) all plumbing, pipes, sinks, toilets, faucets and drains, (v) all lighting fixtures, bulbs and lamps, and all HVAC equipment other than that which Landlord is required to maintain pursuant to Paragraph 5.1(b) below, if applicable., (vi) all entranceways to the Leased Premises, and (vii) the non-structural portions of the Building 2 underground parking garage. Subject to Paragraph 9.3, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair all damage to the Leased Premises, Building 2, the Common Areas or the Property caused by the activities of Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties promptly following written notice from Landlord to so repair such damages. If Tenant shall fail to perform the required maintenance or fail to make repairs required of it pursuant to this paragraph within the applicable notice and cure period expressly set forth in this Lease applicable thereto (or if none is set forth, then within a reasonable period of time following notice from Landlord to do so), then Landlord may, at its election and without waiving any other remedy it may otherwise have under this Lease or at law, perform such maintenance or make such repairs and charge to Tenant, as Additional Rent, the costs so incurred by Landlord for same. All glass within or a part of the Leased Premises, both interior and exterior, is at the sole risk of Tenant and any broken glass shall promptly be replaced by Tenant at Tenants expense with glass of the same kind, size and quality.
(b) Landlords Obligation. Notwithstanding Paragraph 5.1(a) above:
19
(i) Landlord shall, at all times during the Lease Term and at its sole cost and expense, maintain in good condition and repair the foundation and structural support system of Building 2, the Building 2 roof structure (excluding membrane), the exterior load-bearing walls of Building 2 (excluding paint and sealant), and the structural portions of the Building 2 underground parking garage.
(ii) Landlord shall, at all times during the Lease Term, maintain in good condition and repair (A) the Common Areas which are proximate to Building 2, (B) the Building 2 roof membrane, and (C) the Building 2 elevator, HVAC, electrical, water, sewer, and plumbing systems installed by Landlord originally as part of Landlords Base Building Work, as more fully described in Schedule A-1 to the Work Letter (and any modifications, repairs, replacements and upgrades thereto). The provisions of this subparagraph (ii) shall in no way limit the right of Landlord to charge to Tenant, as Additional Rent pursuant to Article 3 and Paragraph 13.12(c), the costs incurred by Landlord in performing such maintenance and/or making such repairs; provided, however, that in the event of such a repair or replacement which is anticipated to cost in excess of $100,000, Landlord agrees to notify Tenant prior to signing a contract with respect to such repairs or replacements, to cause the contract for such repair or replacement to be competitively bid by at least three qualified bidders as determined and selected by Landlord, and to award the contract to the lowest of the three bidders.
(iii) Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, if Landlord shall fail to commence any repair obligations required under Paragraphs 5.1(b)(i) and 5.1(b)(ii) above within ten (10) business days following Tenants written request for such repairs and thereafter complete such repairs with commercially reasonable due diligence, or if Applovin Corporation (or an assignee of its rights and obligations under this Lease who is also a Permitted Transferee as defined in Paragraph 7.2(a) below) is the Tenant hereunder and leases 100% of the Building and Landlord shall fail to commence any emergency repairs (i.e., repairs required to avoid imminent injury or damage or cessation of business) within three (3) business days following written notice from Tenant and thereafter complete such repairs with commercially reasonable due diligence, then Tenant may elect to make such repairs at Landlords expense by complying with the following provisions of this Paragraph 5.1(b)(iii). Before making any such repair, and following the expiration of the applicable period set forth above, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a notice for the need for such repair (Self-Help Notice), which notice shall specifically advise Landlord that Tenant intends to exercise its self-help right hereunder. Should Landlord fail, within five (5) business days following receipt of the Self-Help Notice (or within two (2) business days following written notice in the event of necessary emergency repairs), to commence the necessary repair (or to make other reasonable arrangements), then Tenant shall have the right to make such repair on behalf of Landlord so long as such repair is performed in strict compliance with all Laws and Restrictions. Landlord agrees that Tenant will have access to the Building 2 systems and structure to the extent necessary to perform the work contemplated by this Paragraph. In the event Tenant properly takes such action in accordance with this Paragraph 5.1(b)(iii), and such work will affect the Building structure and/or the Building systems, Tenant shall use only those contractors used or reasonably approved by Landlord in Building 2 for work on such structure or systems unless such contractors are unwilling or unable to immediately perform, or timely and competitively perform, such work, in which event Tenant may utilize the services of any other qualified contractor which normally and regularly performs similar work in comparable buildings in the area of the Property. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a reasonably detailed invoice together with reasonable supporting evidence of the costs reasonably and actually incurred in performing such repairs. Landlord shall either reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs of such repairs within thirty (30) days following receipt of Tenants invoice for such costs or deliver a written objection stating with specificity the reasons Landlord disputes Tenants actions or the costs incurred. If Landlord fails to either pay Tenants invoice within such thirty (30) day period or deliver a written objection, Tenant shall have the right to offset such costs against Base Monthly Rent next coming due under this Lease, in an amount each month not to exceed 25% of each payment of Base Monthly Rent, until fully paid; provided, however, that if such 25% limitation would result in Tenant not receiving
20
full reimbursement prior to the end of the Lease Term, then such limitation shall be increased to an amount sufficient to fully reimburse Tenant by the end of the Lease Term. If Landlord delivers to Tenant, within thirty (30) days, a written objection to the payment of such invoice, setting forth Landlords reasons for its claim that such action did not have to be taken by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease or that the charges are excessive (in which case Landlord shall pay the amount it contends would not have been excessive if the only objection is to the costs incurred), then Tenant shall not be entitled to offset any amount from rent, but as Tenants sole remedy, the dispute shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Paragraph 5.1(b)(iv) below. If Tenant prevails in the arbitration, the amount of the award shall include interest at the Standard Interest Rate (from the time of each expenditure by Tenant until the date Tenant receives such amount by payment or offset) and reasonable attorneys fees and related costs. If Landlord fails to pay the amount of the award within thirty (30) days from the date of the award, the amount of the award, plus interest at the Default Interest Rate, may be deducted by Tenant from the Base Monthly Rent payments next due and owing under the Lease, in an amount each month not to exceed 25% of each payment of Base Monthly Rent, until fully paid; provided, however, that if such 25% limitation would result in Tenant not receiving full reimbursement prior to the end of the Lease Term, then such limitation shall be increased to an amount sufficient to fully reimburse Tenant by the end of the Lease Term. Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining any necessary governmental permits before commencing the repair work. Tenant shall be liable for any damage, loss or injury resulting from said work. If Landlord prevails in the arbitration, the amount of the award shall include reasonable attorneys fees and related costs and shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder due and owing no later than three (3) business days after the date of the award.
(iv) Any dispute or claim under Paragraph 5.1(b)(iii) will be finally settled by binding arbitration in San Francisco, California, in accordance with the rules of the JAMS by one arbitrator appointed in accordance with said rules. The arbitrator shall apply California law, without reference to rules of conflicts of law or rules of statutory arbitration, to the resolution of any dispute. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for preliminary or interim equitable relief, or to compel arbitration in accordance with this paragraph, without breach of this arbitration provision.
5.2 Utilities. Tenant shall arrange at its sole cost and expense and in its own name, for the supply of gas, water, and electricity to the Leased Premises. Meters for such utilities will be installed by Landlord at its sole cost as part of the Base Building Work, and the specifications for the gas and electricity available to Building 2 will be set forth in the specifications portion of the Approved Base Building Construction Documents (as defined in the Work Letter). Tenant shall pay all charges for water, gas, electricity and storm and sanitary sewer services as so supplied to the Leased Premises, irrespective of whether or not the services are maintained in Landlords or Tenants name.
5.3 Security. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not undertaken any duty whatsoever to provide security for the Leased Premises, Building 2, the Common Areas or the Property and, accordingly, Landlord is not responsible for the security of same or the protection of Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties (or any of their property) from any cause whatsoever, including but not limited to criminal and/or terrorist acts. To the extent Tenant determines that such security or protection services are advisable or necessary, Tenant shall arrange for and pay the costs of providing same. In the event Landlord elects to provide any security services, whether it be guard service or access systems or otherwise, the costs incurred by Landlord shall be passed through to Tenant as Additional Rent, and Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith, whether it be for failure to maintain the secure access system, or for failure of the guard service to provide adequate security, or otherwise. Without limitation, Paragraph 8.1 below is intended by Tenant and Landlord to apply to this Paragraph 5.3.
21
5.4 Energy And Resource Consumption.
(a) Solar Energy. The Base Building Work includes solar panels and systems designed to provide solar power to Building 2. Therefore, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that notwithstanding any other inconsistent or contrary provision of this Lease:
(i) Landlord will: (A) cause to be installed a solar photovoltaic system on the roof of Building 2, at Landlords sole cost, (B) receive the full benefit of any tax credits or rebates related to this installation, (C) maintain such solar photovoltaic system (including the solar panels/equipment), (D) charge to Tenant as a Property Maintenance Cost, the costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such maintenance, and (E) have no liability or obligations (except maintenance obligations) with respect to any shortfall in annual solar energy production, no matter what the cause of the shortfall. Without limiting the foregoing, if the shortfall results from Landlords failure to properly maintain the solar photovoltaic system (and/or panels or equipment), Landlords sole liability with respect to such failure will be to correct its maintenance operations so as to properly maintain the solar photovoltaic system, panels, and equipment, notwithstanding any inconsistent or contrary provision of this Lease, and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to any rent abatement as a result thereof; and
(ii) Tenant will: (A) contract with the City of Palo Alto Utilities (CPAU) for power to the Building 2 and solar generation credits, (B) receive the full benefit of electricity cost savings attributable the solar system, and (C) cover any shortfall in annual solar energy production by power it obtains from CPAU, and not look to Landlord with respect thereto.
(b) Energy Use Disclosure Requirements. If required by applicable Law, Landlord shall provide to Tenant a completed Data Verification Checklist with respect to Building 2 (as such term is defined in California Code of Regulations, Title 20, Division 2, Chapter 4, Article 9, Section 1681(b) (and pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 25402.10) pertaining to the Nonresidential Building Energy Use Disclosure Program (the Energy Disclosure Program). Throughout the Term, and promptly following Landlords written request, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord such information and/or documentation as Landlord reasonably requires and otherwise cooperate with Landlord (including, but not limited to, the execution of any reasonable documentation) to assist Landlord in its compliance with the Energy Disclosure Program, any successor or related statute(s) and/or code(s), and any other energy use disclosure requirements or programs required by Law.
(c) Tenant Utility Usage Data Reporting. If Tenant is billed directly by a utility company with respect to Tenants electricity and natural gas/propane usage data at the Leased Premises, then, promptly following Landlords written request, Tenant shall provide its monthly electricity and natural gas/propane usage data for the Leased Premises to Landlord for the period of time requested by Landlord (in electronic or paper format) or, at Landlords option, provide any written authorization or other documentation required for Landlord to request information regarding Tenants electricity and natural gas/propane usage data with respect to the Leased Premises directly from the utility company.
5.5 Limitation Of Landlords Liability. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for injury to Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties, damage to the property of Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties, or loss of business or profits by any of the Tenant Parties, nor shall Tenant be entitled to terminate this Lease or to any reduction in or abatement of rent by reason of (i) Landlords failure to provide security services or systems within the Property for the protection of the Leased Premises, Building 2 or the Common Areas, or the protection of the property of Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties, or (ii) Landlords breach of its obligation to perform any maintenance or repairs to the Leased Premises, Building 2, the Common Areas or the Property which it is required under Paragraph 5.1(b) above to perform, until Tenant shall have first notified Landlord, in writing, of the need for such maintenance or repairs, and then only after Landlord
22
shall have had a reasonable period of time following its receipt of such notice within which to perform such maintenance or repairs; provided, however, that Tenants rent obligations shall equitably abate to the extent Tenant is unable to use the Leased Premises for the Permitted Uses during the period of repair and same is caused by Landlords breach, (iii) any failure, interruption, rationing or other curtailment in the supply of water, electric current, gas or other utility service to the Leased Premises, Building 2, the Common Areas or the Property from whatever cause (other than Landlords gross negligence or willful misconduct, in which case Tenants rent obligations shall equitably abate to the extent Tenant is unable to use the Leased Premises for the Permitted Uses during the period of such failure, interruption, rationing or other curtailment caused by Landlords gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (iv) the unauthorized intrusion or entry into the Leased Premises by third parties (other than Landlord).
ARTICLE 6
ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS
6.1 By Tenant. This Paragraph 6.1 does not relate to the Tenant Improvements installed in accordance with and pursuant to the Work Letter, but to alterations, modifications, and improvements made after the date the Tenant Improvements are substantially completed. Tenant shall not make any alterations to or modifications of the Leased Premises or construct any improvements within the Leased Premises until Landlord shall have first approved, in writing, the plans and specifications therefor, which approval may be withheld in Landlords sole discretion as to alterations, modifications, and improvements which affect the Building 2 structure or materially affect the Building 2 systems, and otherwise such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event Landlord fails to respond to any such request within ten (10) days, then Tenant may resubmit the request to Landlord with a cover letter stating LANDLORDS FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS SHALL RESULT IN THE DEEMED CONSENT TO SUCH ALTERATION in all capital letters and in bold face type. In the event Landlord thereafter fails to respond to such second request by the date which is five (5) business days following the second notice, then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved such alterations and to have waived its right to require such Alteration to be removed upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenants written request shall also contain a request for Landlord to identify any Non-Standard Office Improvements and elect whether or not it will require Tenant to remove such Non-Standard Office Improvements at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If such additional request is not included by Tenant, Landlord may make such election at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (and for purposes of Tenants removal obligations set forth in Paragraph 2.6 above, Landlord shall be deemed to have made the election at the time the alterations, modifications or improvements were completed). As used herein, Non-Standard Office Improvements shall mean alterations, modifications, and improvements that (i) affect the Building 2 structure, (ii) are other than typical leasehold improvements for office tenants in Building 2 or in buildings similar to Building 2 in the area in which the Property is located, or (iii) in Landlords reasonable judgment would materially increase Landlords cost of preparing the Premises for another tenant (such as, without limitation, interior staircases). All such modifications, alterations or improvements, once so approved, shall be made, constructed or installed by Tenant at Tenants expense (including all permit fees and governmental charges related thereto), using a licensed general contractor first approved by Landlord, in substantial compliance with the Landlord-approved plans and specifications therefor. All work undertaken by Tenant shall be done in accordance with all Laws and Restrictions and in a good and workmanlike manner using new materials of good quality. Tenant shall not commence the making of any such modifications or alterations or the construction of any such improvements until (i) any and all required governmental approvals and permits shall have been obtained, (ii) all requirements regarding insurance imposed by this Lease have been satisfied, (iii) Tenant shall have given Landlord at least five (5) business days prior written notice of its intention to commence such work so that Landlord may post and file notices of non-responsibility, and (iv) if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall have obtained contingent liability and broad form builders risk insurance in an amount satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion to cover any perils relating to the proposed work not covered by insurance carried by Tenant pursuant to Article 9.
23
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, without Landlords prior written consent, shall be permitted to make non-structural alterations to the Leased Premises which do not affect Building systems and are not visible from outside the Leased Premises, provided that (a) such alterations do not exceed $100,000 individually or in a series of related projects, (b) Tenant shall timely provide Landlord the notice required pursuant to Paragraph 4.9 above, (c) Tenant shall have secured the approval of all governmental authorities and all permits required by governmental authorities having jurisdiction over such approvals and permits for such alterations, and shall provide copies of such approvals and permits to Landlord prior to commencing any work with respect to such alterations, and (d) Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing within thirty (30) days of completion of the alteration and deliver to Landlord a set of the plans and specifications therefor, either as built or marked to show construction changes made; such alterations complying with the foregoing conditions need not be removed by Tenant at the expiration of the Lease Term.
6.2 Ownership Of Improvements. All modifications, alterations and improvements made or added to the Leased Premises by Tenant (other than Tenants inventory, equipment, movable furniture, wall decorations and trade fixtures) shall be deemed real property and a part of the Leased Premises, but shall remain the property of Tenant during the Lease Term, and Tenant hereby covenants and agrees not to grant a security interest in any such items to any party other than Landlord. Any such modifications, alterations or improvements, once completed, shall not be altered or removed from the Leased Premises during the Lease Term without Landlords written approval first obtained in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 6.1 above. At the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, all such modifications, alterations and improvements other than Tenants inventory, equipment, movable furniture, wall decorations and trade fixtures, shall automatically become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered to Landlord as part of the Leased Premises as required pursuant to Article 2, unless Tenant is required to remove any of such modifications, alterations or improvements in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 2.6 or Paragraph 6.1, in which case Tenant shall so remove same. Landlord shall have no obligations to reimburse Tenant for all or any portion of the cost or value of any such modifications, alterations or improvements so surrendered to Landlord. All modifications, alterations or improvements which are installed or constructed on or attached to the Leased Premises by Landlord and/or at Landlords expense shall be deemed real property and a part of the Leased Premises and shall be property of Landlord. All lighting, plumbing, electrical, HVAC fixtures, partitioning, window coverings, wall coverings and floor coverings installed by Tenant shall be deemed improvements to the Leased Premises and not trade fixtures of Tenant.
6.3 Alterations Required By Law.
(a) Tenant at its sole cost shall make all modifications, alterations and improvements to the Leased Premises and Building 2 that are required by any Law because of (i) Tenants particular use or occupancy of the Leased Premises, Building 2, the Common Areas or the Property, (ii) Tenants application for any permit or governmental approval, or (iii) Tenants making of any modifications, alterations or improvements to or within the Leased Premises.
(b) If Landlord shall, at any time during the Lease Term, be required by any governmental authority to make any modifications, alterations or improvements to any portion of Building 2 or the Property, and the same is not Landlords responsibility pursuant to subparagraph (c) below nor Tenants responsibility pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, or Paragraph 4.7, or any other provision of this Lease, then the cost incurred by Landlord in making such modifications, alterations or improvements, including interest at the Standard Interest Rate, shall be amortized by Landlord over the useful life of such modifications, alterations or improvements, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and the monthly amortized cost of such modifications, alterations and improvements as so amortized shall be considered a Property Maintenance Cost.
24
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such governmental authority requires Landlord to make any modifications, alterations or improvements to any portion of Building 2 or the Property due to such portion not being in compliance with all Laws and Restrictions applicable thereto as of the date the building permit was issued for Building 2, and such portion has not theretofore been altered by Tenant in a manner which affects the Building 2 structure or materially affects the Building 2 systems, then any cost or expense incurred by Landlord to correct any noncompliance shall not constitute a Property Maintenance Cost hereunder.
6.4 Liens. Tenant shall keep the Property and every part thereof free from any lien, and shall pay when due all bills arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties relating to the Property. If any such claim of lien is recorded against Tenants interest in this Lease, the Property or any part thereof, Tenant shall bond against, discharge or otherwise cause such lien to be entirely released within the earlier of (a) thirty (30) days after the same has been recorded, and (b) ten (10) business days after written notice from Landlord. Tenants failure to do so shall be conclusively deemed a material default under the terms of this Lease.
ARTICLE 7
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING BY TENANT
7.1 By Tenant. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 7, Tenant shall not sublet the Leased Premises or any portion thereof or assign its interest in this Lease, or permit the occupancy of the Premises by other than Tenant, whether voluntarily or by operation of Law, without Landlords prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Any attempted subletting or assignment, or occupancy of the Leased Premises by other than Tenant, without Landlords prior written consent, at Landlords election, shall constitute a default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person or entity other than Tenant, or the acceptance of rent by Landlord from Tenant with knowledge of a violation of the provisions of this paragraph, shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Article or this Lease or to be a consent to any subletting by Tenant or any assignment of Tenants interest in this Lease. Without limiting the circumstances in which it may be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to an assignment or subletting, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent in the following instances:
(a) the proposed assignee or sublessee is a governmental agency;
(b) in Landlords reasonable judgment, the use of the Leased Premises by the proposed assignee or sublessee would involve occupancy other than for a Permitted Use, would entail any alterations which would lessen the value of the leasehold improvements in the Leased Premises, or would require increased services by Landlord, or an increase in parking such that the Parking Ratio would be exceeded;
(c) in Landlords reasonable judgment, the Leased Premises, or the relevant part thereof, will be used in a manner that will violate any negative covenant as to use contained in this Lease;
(d) the use of the Leased Premises by the proposed assignee or sublessee will violate any Law or Restriction or the proposed assignee or sublessee is not approved by Ground Lessor;
25
(e) the proposed assignment or sublease fails to include all of the terms and provisions required to be included therein pursuant to this Article 7; or
(f) Tenant is in default of any obligation of Tenant under this Lease, beyond all applicable notice and cure periods applicable thereto which are expressly set forth in the Lease.
7.2 Merger, Reorganization, or Sale of Assets.
(a) Notwithstanding any of the terms of this Article 7 to the contrary, Tenant may, upon notice to Landlord but without Landlords prior written consent, but in all cases subject to obtaining the consent of Ground Lessor if and to the extent required under the Ground Lease, sublet the Leased Premises or assign this Lease to (i) a subsidiary, affiliate, division, corporation, joint venture or other entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant, (ii) a successor entity resulting from a merger, consolidation, or nonbankruptcy reorganization by Tenant, or (iii) a purchaser of substantially all of Tenants assets or a controlling percentage of Tenants voting stock (hereinafter each a Permitted Transfer and the transferee, a Permitted Transferee); provided that the Permitted Transferee assumes in writing for the benefit of Landlord, this Lease and all of Tenants obligations under this Lease, and that in the case of (ii) or (iii) above, either (x) the Tenant as constituted immediately after the applicable Permitted Transfer has a net worth equal to or greater than that of Tenant as of the Effective Date of this Lease, or (y) a guarantor of the obligations of such Permitted Transferee which is reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and which has signed a guaranty in favor of Landlord in the form of Attachment 7.2 to this Lease, has a net worth equal to or greater than that of Tenant as of the Effective Date of this Lease. Tenant agrees that it shall be an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease if such guarantor shall do any of the things described in any of Paragraphs 12.1(f) through 12.1(i) below. In all events, Tenant shall remain fully liable under this Lease.
(b) Tenant may permit space in the Leased Premises to be occupied by any one or more Strategic Partners (as hereinafter defined) without Landlords prior written consent, provided that the aggregate square feet of space occupied by all Strategic Partners at any point in time during the Lease Term is no more than twenty percent (20%) of the Leased Premises (a Strategic Partner Transaction). As used herein, a Strategic Partner shall mean a client, or individual or other entity which maintains an ongoing business relationship with Tenant or is a company or individual that is occupying such space as incubator space for purposes of starting a company.
7.3 Landlords Election. If Tenant shall desire to assign its interest under the Lease or to sublet the Leased Premises, Tenant must first notify Landlord, in writing, of its intent to so assign or sublet, at least thirty (30) days in advance of taking any action with respect thereto. Once Tenant has identified a potential assignee or sublessee, Tenant shall notify Landlord, in writing, of its intent to so assign or sublet, at least ten (10) business days in advance of the date it intends to so assign its interest in this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises but not sooner than one hundred eighty days in advance of such date, specifying in detail the terms of such proposed assignment or subletting, including the name of the proposed assignee or sublessee, the proposed assignees or sublessees intended use of the Leased Premises, current financial statements (including a certified balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flow) of such proposed assignee or sublessee, the form of documents to be used in effectuating such assignment or subletting and such other information as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall have a period of ten (10) business days following receipt of such notice and the required information within which to do one of the following: (i) consent to such requested assignment or subletting subject to Tenants compliance with the conditions set forth in Paragraph 7.4 below, or (ii) refuse to so consent to such requested assignment or subletting, provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably refused. During such ten (10) business day period, Tenant covenants and agrees to supply to Landlord, upon request, all necessary or relevant information which Landlord may reasonably request
26
respecting such proposed assignment or subletting and/or the proposed assignee or sublessee. Tenants written request for consent may also contain a request in ALL CAPITALS BOLD FACE TYPE for Landlord to respond within ten (10) business days. If Tenant includes such a request, and Landlord fails to respond within ten (10) business days of receipt of such notice and the required information, the proposed assignment or subletting shall be deemed approved.
7.4 Conditions To Landlords Consent. If Landlord elects to consent or is deemed to have consented, or shall have been ordered to so consent by a court of competent jurisdiction, to such requested assignment or subletting, such consent shall be expressly conditioned upon the occurrence of each of the conditions below set forth, and any purported assignment or subletting made or ordered prior to the full and complete satisfaction of each of the following conditions shall be void and, at the election of Landlord, which election may be exercised at any time following such a purported assignment or subletting but prior to the satisfaction of each of the stated conditions, shall constitute a material default by Tenant under this Lease until cured by satisfying in full each such condition by the assignee or sublessee. The conditions are as follows:
(a) Landlord having approved in form and substance the assignment or sublease agreement and any ancillary documents, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord if the requirements of this Article 7 are otherwise complied with.
(b) Each such sublessee or assignee having agreed, in writing satisfactory to Landlord and its counsel and for the benefit of Landlord, to assume, to be bound by, and to perform the obligations of this Lease to be performed by Tenant which relate to space being subleased or assigned.

(i) If Tenant assigns its interest under this Lease and if all or a portion of the consideration for such assignment is to be paid by the assignee at the time of the assignment, that Tenant shall have paid to Landlord and Landlord shall have received an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the assignment consideration so paid at the time of the assignment by the assignee; or
(ii) If Tenant assigns its interest under this Lease and if Tenant is to receive all or a portion of the consideration for such assignment in future installments, that Tenant and Tenants assignee shall have entered into a written agreement with and for the benefit of Landlord satisfactory to Landlord and its counsel whereby Tenant and Tenants assignee jointly agree to pay to Landlord an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of all such future assignment consideration installments to be paid by such assignee as and when such assignment consideration is so paid; or
27
(iii) If Tenant subleases the Leased Premises, that Tenant and Tenants sublessee shall have entered into a written agreement with and for the benefit of Landlord satisfactory to Landlord and its counsel whereby Tenant and Tenants sublessee jointly agree to pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of all excess rentals paid by such sublessee.
7.5 Assignment Consideration And Excess Rentals Defined. For purposes of this Article, including any amendment to this Article by way of addendum or other writing: (i) the term assignment consideration shall mean all consideration to be paid by the assignee to Tenant or to any other party on Tenants behalf or for Tenants benefit as consideration for such assignment, without deduction for any costs or expenses except that Tenant may first recover any third party, market rate leasing commissions paid, and tenant improvement costs incurred, in connection with the assignment, and (ii) the term excess rentals shall mean all consideration to be paid by the sublessee to Tenant or to any other party on Tenants behalf or for Tenants benefit for the sublease of all or any part of the Leased Premises in excess of the rent due to Landlord under the terms of this Lease for the portion subleased for the same period, without deduction for any costs or expenses except that Tenant may first recover third party, market rate leasing commissions paid, and tenant improvement costs incurred, in connection with the sublease. Tenant agrees that the portion of any assignment consideration and/or excess rentals arising from any assignment or subletting by Tenant which is to be paid to Landlord pursuant to this Article now is and shall then be the property of Landlord and not the property of Tenant.
7.6 Payments. All payments required by this Article to be made to Landlord shall be made in cash in full as and when they become due. At the time Tenant, Tenants assignee or sublessee makes each such payment to Landlord, Tenant or Tenants assignee or sublessee, as the case may be, shall deliver to Landlord an itemized statement in reasonable detail showing the method by which the amount due Landlord was calculated and certified by the party making such payment as true and correct.
7.7 Good Faith. The rights granted to Tenant by this Article are granted in consideration of Tenants express covenant, which Tenant hereby makes, that all pertinent allocations which are made by Tenant between the rental value of the Leased Premises and the value of any of Tenants personal property which may be conveyed or leased (or services provided) generally concurrently with and which may reasonably be considered a part of the same transaction as the permitted assignment or subletting shall be made fairly, honestly and in good faith.
7.8 Effect Of Landlords Consent. No subletting or assignment, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its personal and primary obligation to pay rent and to perform all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments of Tenants interest in this Lease or to one or more sublettings of the Leased Premises shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. No sub-subtenant shall have any right to assign its sublease or to further sublet any portion of the sublet premises or to permit any portion of the sublet premises to be used or occupied by any other party. No sub-sublease may be modified without Landlords prior written consent. No sub-sublease may be terminated by Tenant during any period that both (a) Tenant is in default under this Lease, and (b) the sub-subtenant is not in default under the applicable sub-sublease. If Landlord shall have been ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction to consent to a requested assignment or subletting, or such an assignment or subletting shall have been ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction over the objection of Landlord, such assignment or subletting shall not be binding between the assignee (or sublessee) and Landlord until such time as all conditions set forth in Paragraph 7.4 above have been fully satisfied (to the extent not then satisfied), including, without limitation, the payment to Landlord of all agreed assignment considerations and/or excess rentals then due
28
Landlord. During any period in which an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured while a sub-sublease is in effect, Landlord may collect directly from the sub-sublessee all sums becoming due to Tenant under the sublease and apply this amount against any sums due Landlord by Tenant, and Tenant authorizes and directs any sub-sublessee to make payments directly to Landlord upon notice from Landlord. No direct collection by Landlord from any sub-sublessee shall constitute a novation or release of Tenant or any guarantor, a consent to the sub-sublease or a waiver of the covenant prohibiting sub-subleases.
ARTICLE 8

8.1 Limitation On Landlords Liability And Release.

In this regard, Tenant acknowledges that it is fully apprised of the provisions of Law relating to releases, and particularly to those provisions contained in Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which reads as follows:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.
Notwithstanding such statutory provision, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge, Tenant hereby (i) waives the benefit of such statutory provision and (ii) acknowledges that, subject to the exceptions specifically set forth herein, the release and discharge set forth in this paragraph is a full and complete settlement and release and discharge of all claims and is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all claims which Tenant, as of the date hereof, does not know of or suspect to exist in its favor.

This indemnity agreement shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

In the event of any default by Tenant, and without limiting Landlords right to indemnification as provided in Article 8.2, Landlord shall have the following remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law or otherwise provided in this Lease, to which Landlord may resort cumulatively, or in the alternative:
(a) Landlord may, at Landlords election, keep this Lease in effect and enforce, by an action at law or in equity, all of its rights and remedies under this Lease including, without limitation, (i) the right to recover the rent and other sums as they become due by appropriate legal action, (ii) the right to make payments required by Tenant, or perform Tenants obligations and be reimbursed by Tenant for the cost thereof with interest at the Default Interest Rate from the date the sum is paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant, and (iii) the remedies of injunctive relief and specific performance to prevent Tenant from violating the terms of this Lease and/or to compel Tenant to perform its obligations under this Lease, as the case may be.
(b) Landlord may, at Landlords election, terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice of termination, in which event this Lease shall terminate on the date set forth for termination in such notice, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Leased 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 Leased Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Leased Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor. Any termination under this subparagraph shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay to Landlord all Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent then or thereafter due, or any other sums due or thereafter accruing to Landlord, or from any claim against Tenant for damages previously accrued or then or thereafter accruing. In no event
37
shall any one or more of the following actions by Landlord, in the absence of a written election by Landlord to terminate this Lease constitute a termination of this Lease:
(i) Appointment of a receiver or keeper in order to protect Landlords interest hereunder;
(ii) Consent to any subletting of the Leased Premises or assignment of this Lease by Tenant, whether pursuant to the provisions hereof or otherwise; or
(iii) Any action taken by Landlord or its partners, principals, members, officers, agents, employees, or servants, which is intended to mitigate the adverse effects of any breach of this Lease by Tenant, including, without limitation, any action taken to maintain and preserve the Leased Premises on any action taken to relet the Leased Premises or any portion thereof for the account at Tenant and in the name of Tenant.
(c) In the event Tenant breaches this Lease and abandons the Leased Premises, Landlord may terminate this Lease, but this Lease shall not terminate unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of termination. If Landlord does not terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination, Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right and remedies provided by California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessees breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations), as in effect on the Effective Date of this Lease.
(d) In the event Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled, at Landlords election, to the rights and remedies provided in California Civil Code Section 1951.2, as in effect on the Effective Date of this Lease. For purposes of computing damages pursuant to Section 1951.2, an interest rate equal to the Default Interest Rate shall be used where permitted. Such damages shall include, without limitation:
(i) The worth at the time of the award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of 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 term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, 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; plus
(iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenants failure to perform Tenants obligations under this Lease, or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including without limitation, the following: (i) expenses for cleaning, repairing or restoring the Leased Premises, (ii) expenses for altering, remodeling or otherwise improving the Leased Premises for the purpose of reletting, including removal of existing leasehold improvements and/or installation of additional leasehold improvements (regardless of how the same is funded, including reduction of rent, a direct payment or allowance to a new tenant, or otherwise), (iii) advertising costs and other expenses of reletting the Leased Premises; (iv) expenses incurred in removing, disposing of and/or storing any of Tenants personal property, inventory or trade fixtures remaining therein; (v) reasonable attorneys fees, expert witness fees, court costs and other reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord (but not limited to taxable costs) in retaking possession of the Leased Premises, establishing damages hereunder, and releasing the Leased Premises; and (vi) any other expenses, costs or damages otherwise incurred or suffered as a result of Tenants default.
38
(e) Pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161.1, Landlord may accept a partial payment of Rent after serving a notice pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, and may without further notice to the Tenant, commence and pursue an action to recover the difference between the amount demanded in that notice and the payment actually received. This acceptance of such a partial payment of Rent does not constitute a waiver of any rights, including any right the Landlord may have to recover possession of the Leased Premises. Further, Tenant agrees that any notice given by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 12.1 of the Lease shall satisfy the requirements for notice under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, and Landlord shall not be required to give any additional notice in order to be entitled to commence an unlawful detainer proceeding.
12.3 Landlords Default And Tenants Remedies. In the event Landlord fails to perform its obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall nevertheless not be in default under the terms of this Lease until such time as Tenant shall have first given Landlord written notice specifying the nature of such failure to perform its obligations, and then only after Landlord shall have had thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice within which to perform such obligations; provided that, if longer than thirty (30) days is reasonably required in order to perform such obligations, Landlord shall have such longer period. In the event of Landlords default as above set forth, then, and only then, Tenant may then proceed in equity or at law to compel Landlord to perform its obligations and/or to recover damages proximately caused by such failure to perform (except as and to the extent Tenant has waived its right to damages as provided in this Lease).
12.4 Limitation Of Tenants Recourse. Tenants sole recourse against Landlord shall be to Landlords interest in Building 2 and the Common Areas. If Landlord is a corporation, trust, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, unincorporated association, or other form of business entity, Tenant agrees that (i) the obligations of Landlord under this Lease shall not constitute personal obligations of the officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint venturers, members, managers, owners, stockholders, or other principals of such business entity, and (ii) Tenant shall have recourse only to the interest of such corporation, trust, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, unincorporated association, or other form of business entity in Building 2 and the Common Areas for the satisfaction of such obligations and not against the assets of such officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint venturers, members, managers, owners, stockholders or principals. Additionally, if Landlord is a partnership or limited liability company, then Tenant covenants and agrees:
(a) No partner, manager, or member of Landlord shall be sued or named as a party in any suit or action brought by Tenant with respect to any alleged breach of this Lease (except to the extent necessary to secure jurisdiction over the partnership or limited liability company and then only for that sole purpose);
(b) No service of process shall be made against any partner, manager, or member of Landlord except for the sole purpose of securing jurisdiction over the partnership; and
(c) No writ of execution will ever be levied against the assets of any partner, manager, or member of Landlord other than to the extent of his or her interest in the assets of the partnership or limited liability company constituting Landlord.
Tenant further agrees that each of the foregoing covenants and agreements shall be enforceable by Landlord and by any partner or manager or member of Landlord and shall be applicable to any actual or alleged misrepresentation or nondisclosure made regarding this Lease or the Leased Premises or any actual or alleged failure, default or breach of any covenant or agreement either expressly or implicitly contained in this Lease or imposed by statute or at common law.
39
12.5 Tenants Waiver. Landlord and Tenant agree that the provisions of Paragraph 12.3 above are intended to supersede and replace the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942, and accordingly, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 and/or any similar or successor law regarding Tenants right to terminate this Lease or to make repairs and deduct the expenses of such repairs from the rent due under this Lease.
ARTICLE 13
GENERAL PROVISIONS
13.1 Taxes On Tenants Property. Tenant shall pay before delinquency any and all taxes, assessments, license fees, use fees, permit fees and public charges of whatever nature or description levied, assessed or imposed against Tenant or Landlord by a governmental agency arising out of, caused by reason of or based upon Tenants estate in this Lease, Tenants ownership of property, improvements made by Tenant to the Leased Premises or the Common Areas, improvements made by Landlord for Tenants use within the Leased Premises or the Common Areas, Tenants use (or estimated use) of public facilities or services or Tenants consumption (or estimated consumption) of public utilities, energy, water or other resources (collectively, Tenants Interest). Upon demand by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence of these payments. If any such taxes, assessments, fees or public charges are levied against Landlord, Landlords property, Building 2 or the Property, or if the assessed value of Building 2 or the Property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon Tenants Interest, regardless of the validity thereof, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to pay such taxes, and if not paid and satisfactory evidence of payment delivered to Landlord at least ten days prior to delinquency, then Landlord shall have the right to pay such taxes on Tenants behalf and to invoice Tenant for the same, in either case whether before or after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. Tenant shall, within the earlier to occur of (a) thirty (30) days of the date it receives an invoice from Landlord setting forth the amount of such taxes, assessments, fees, or public charge so levied, or (b) the due date of such invoice, pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount set forth in such invoice. Failure by Tenant to pay the amount so invoiced within such time period shall be conclusively deemed a default by Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall have the right to bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover from the taxing authority the amount of any such taxes, assessments, fees or public charges so paid.
13.2 Holding Over. This Lease shall terminate without further notice on the Lease Expiration Date (as set forth in Article 1). Any holding over by Tenant after expiration of the Lease Term shall neither constitute a renewal nor extension of this Lease nor give Tenant any rights in or to the Leased Premises except as expressly provided in this Paragraph. Any such holding over for a period of sixty (60) days or less shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month, on the same terms and conditions herein specified insofar as applicable, except that the Base Monthly Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Monthly Rent payable during the last full month immediately preceding such holding over. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a holding over, any rights of Landlord or obligations of Tenant set forth in this Lease and purporting to apply during the term of this Lease, shall nonetheless also be deemed to apply during any such hold over period. Tenant acknowledges that if Tenant holds over without Landlords consent, such holding over may compromise or otherwise affect Landlords ability to enter into new leases with prospective tenants regarding the Leased Premises. Therefore, if Tenant fails to surrender the Leased Premises in the condition called for in Paragraph 2.6 above within sixty (60) days after the expiration or termination of this Lease, in addition to
40
any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all claims resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, and any losses suffered by Landlord, including lost profits or any losses to Landlord with respect to lost opportunities to lease to succeeding tenants, resulting from such failure to surrender.
13.3 Subordination to Mortgages. This Lease is subject to and subordinate to all ground leases, mortgages and deeds of trust which affect Building 2 or the Property and which are of public record as of the Effective Date of this Lease, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall obtain a Nondisturbance Agreement (as defined below) from its current lender, if applicable, simultaneously with Landlords execution and delivery hereof, which Nondisturbance Agreement may be combined with an agreement to effect the subordination provisions hereof, and which may be on such form as Landlords lender may require. However, if the lessor under any such ground lease or any lender holding any such mortgage or deed of trust shall advise Landlord that it desires or requires this Lease to be made prior and superior thereto, then, upon written request of Landlord to Tenant, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all customary or reasonable documents or instruments which Landlord and such lessor or lender deems necessary or desirable to make this Lease prior thereto. Tenant hereby consents to Landlords ground leasing the land underlying Building 2 or the Property and/or encumbering Landlords interest in Building 2 or the Property as security for future loans on such terms as Landlord shall desire, all of which future ground leases, mortgages or deeds of trust shall be subject to and subordinate to this Lease. However, if any lessor under any such future ground lease or any lender holding such future mortgage or deed of trust shall desire or require that this Lease be made subject to and subordinate to such future ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust, then Tenant agrees, within ten (10) days after Landlords written request therefor, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord any and all documents or instruments requested by Landlord or by such lessor or lender to assure the subordination of this Lease to such future ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust, but only if such lessor or lender agrees in such subordination agreement, in recordable form reasonably acceptable to Tenant, not to disturb Tenants quiet possession of the Leased Premises so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond the applicable cure periods, if any, expressly set forth in this Lease (a Nondisturbance Agreement). Tenants failure to execute and deliver such documents or instruments within ten (10) days after Landlords request therefor, if such failure is not cured within five (5) days after Tenants receipt of written notice of such failure, shall be a material default by Tenant under this Lease, and no further notice shall be required under Paragraph 12.1 or any other provision of this Lease, and Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies available to Landlord as Landlord would otherwise have in the case of any other material default by Tenant, it being agreed and understood by Tenant that Tenants failure to so deliver such documents or instruments in a timely manner could result in Landlord being unable to perform committed obligations to other third parties which were made by Landlord in reliance upon this covenant of Tenant. If Landlord assigns the Lease as security for a loan, Tenant agrees to execute such documents as are reasonably requested by the lender, subject to the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 13.3.
13.4 Tenants Attornment Upon Foreclosure. Tenant shall attorn (i) to any purchaser of Building 2 or the Property at any foreclosure sale or private sale conducted pursuant to any security instruments encumbering Building 2 or the Property, (ii) to any grantee or transferee designated in any deed given in lieu of foreclosure of any security interest encumbering Building 2 or the Property, or (iii) to the lessor under an underlying ground lease of the land underlying Building 2 or the Property, should such ground lease be terminated; provided that such purchaser, grantee or lessor recognizes Tenants rights under this Lease.
41
13.5 Mortgagee Protection. In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will give notice by registered mail to any Lender or lessor under any underlying ground lease who shall have requested, in writing, to Tenant that it be provided with such notice, and Tenant shall offer such Lender or lessor a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Leased Premises by power of sale or judicial foreclosure or other appropriate legal proceedings if reasonably necessary to effect a cure.
13.6 Estoppel Certificate. Tenant will, following any request by Landlord, promptly execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate substantially in form attached as Exhibit D, (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect, (ii) stating the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (iii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenants knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (iv) certifying such other information about this Lease as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, its Lender or prospective lenders, investors or purchasers of Building 2 or the Property. Tenants failure to execute and deliver such estoppel certificate within ten (10) days after Landlords request therefor, if such failure is not cured within five (5) days after Tenants receipt of written notice of such failure, shall be a material default by Tenant under this Lease, and no further notice shall be required under Paragraph 12.1 or any other provision of this Lease, and Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies available to Landlord as Landlord would otherwise have in the case of any other material default by Tenant, it being agreed and understood by Tenant that Tenants failure to so deliver such estoppel certificate in a timely manner could result in Landlord being unable to perform committed obligations to other third parties which were made by Landlord in reliance upon this covenant of Tenant. Landlord and Tenant intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this paragraph may be relied upon by any Lender or purchaser or prospective Lender or purchaser of Building 2, the Property, or any interest in them. Upon request by Tenant from time to time, Landlord agrees to deliver a similar estoppel certificate to Tenant, revised for execution by a landlord.
13.7 Tenants Financial Information. Tenant shall, within ten business days after Landlords request therefor but not more frequently than once per Lease year except in connection with a prospective sale, assignment, refinancing, or recapitalization by Landlord or at any time that Tenant is in monetary or material non-monetary default, deliver to Landlord a copy of Tenants (and any guarantors) most recently prepared audited financial statements (including a balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flow, all prepared in accordance with GAAP), and any such other information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding Tenants financial condition so long as it is relevant to the business being conducted by Tenant and customarily prepared by Tenant in the ordinary course of business and made available to Tenants lenders or investors; provided, however, that as long as the common stock of Tenant (or its assigns permitted pursuant to this Lease or otherwise approved by Landlord in writing) is publicly-traded on a United States national stock exchange, and such information is available as part of Tenants or such Permitted Transferees 10-K or 10-Q report filings on the SECs Edgar website, and such materials are current per SEC filing requirements, then such requirement shall be fulfilled by such filings. Landlord shall be entitled to disclose such financial statements or other information to its Lender, to any present or prospective principal of or investor in Landlord, or to any prospective Lender or assignee of this Lease or of the Ground Lease or any interest therein. Any such financial statement or other information shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed by Landlord to any third party except as specifically provided in this paragraph, unless the same becomes a part of the public domain without the fault of Landlord.
13.8 Transfer By Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to transfer its interest in the Ground Lease, this Lease, Building 2, the Property, or any portion thereof at any time after the Lease Commencement Date to any person or entity, without Tenants consent or approval. In the event that
42
Landlord desires to effect such a transfer prior to the Lease Commencement Date, Landlord must obtain Tenants consent (including deemed consent) thereto, unless the transfer is solely for the purpose of securing Landlords financing. Landlord shall, in such event, send a written request for consent to Tenant, which shall include pertinent financial and real estate experience information regarding the proposed assignee. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. In the event Tenant fails to respond to any such request within five (5) days, then Landlord may resubmit the request to Tenant with a cover letter stating TENANTS FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS SHALL RESULT IN THE DEEMED CONSENT TO SUCH TRANSFER in all capital letters and in bold face type. In the event Tenant thereafter fails to respond to such second request by the date which is three (3) business days following the second notice, then Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such transfer by Landlord. In the event of any such transfer (i.e., transfers not requiring Tenants consent or transfers to which Tenant has, or has been deemed to have, consented), the Landlord originally named herein (and in the case of any subsequent transfer, the transferor), from the date of such transfer, shall be automatically relieved, without any further act by any person or entity, of all liability for (i) the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which may accrue after the date of such transfer, and (ii) repayment of any unapplied portion of the Security Deposit (upon transferring or crediting the same to the transferee), and (iii) the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which have accrued before the date of transfer if its transferee agrees to assume and perform all such prior obligations of the Landlord hereunder. Tenant shall attorn to any such transferee. After the date of any such transfer, the term Landlord as used herein shall mean the transferee of such interest in Building 2 or the Property.
13.9 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, delay in obtaining approvals, building permits and certificates of occupancy within normal time frames, 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 partys performance caused by a Force Majeure.
13.10 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Lease other than statutory notices shall be in writing and (i) personally delivered, (ii) sent by United States mail, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (iii) sent by Federal Express or similar nationally recognized overnight courier service, and in all cases addressed as follows, and such notice shall be deemed to have been given upon the date of actual receipt or delivery (or refusal to accept delivery) at the address specified below (or such other addresses as may be specified by notice in the foregoing manner) as indicated on the return receipt or air bill:

13.11 Attorneys Fees and Costs. In the event any party shall bring any action, arbitration, or other proceeding alleging a breach of any provision of this Lease, or a right to recover rent, to terminate this Lease, or to enforce, protect, interpret, determine, or establish any provision of this Lease or the rights or duties hereunder of either party, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party as a part of such action or proceeding, or in a separate action for that purpose brought within one year from the determination of such proceeding, reasonable attorneys fees, expert witness fees, court costs and reasonable disbursements, made or incurred by the prevailing party.
13.12 Definitions. Any term that is given a special meaning by any provision in this Lease shall, unless otherwise specifically stated, have such meaning wherever used in this Lease or in any Addenda or amendment hereto. In addition to the terms defined in Article 1, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(a) Real Property Taxes. The term Real Property Tax or Real Property Taxes shall each mean Tenants Building Share (with respect to clause (i)) and Tenants Property Share (with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) below) (each as hereinafter adjusted) of the following (to the extent applicable to any portion of the Lease Term, regardless of when the same are imposed, assessed, levied, or otherwise charged): (i) all taxes, assessments, levies and other charges of any kind or nature whatsoever, general and special, foreseen and unforeseen (including all installments of principal and interest required to pay any general or special assessments for public improvements and any increases resulting from reassessments caused by any change in ownership or new construction), now or hereafter imposed by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or special district having the direct or indirect power to tax or levy assessments, which are levied or assessed for whatever reason against Landlords interest in Building 2 or this Lease, or the fixtures, equipment and other property of Landlord that is an integral part of Building 2 and located thereon, or Landlords business of owning, leasing or managing Building 2 or the gross receipts, income or rentals from Building 2, or based on the amount of public services or public utilities used or consumed (e.g. water, gas, electricity, sewage or waste water disposal) at Building 2, or based on the number of persons employed by tenants of Building 2, the size (whether measured in area, volume, number of tenants or whatever) or the value of Building 2, or the type of use or uses conducted within Building 2, (ii) all taxes, assessments, levies and other charges of any kind or nature whatsoever, general and special, foreseen and unforeseen (including all installments of principal and interest required to pay any general or special assessments for public improvements and any increases resulting from reassessments caused by any change in ownership or new construction), now or hereafter imposed by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or special district having the
44
direct or indirect power to tax or levy assessments, which are levied or assessed for whatever reason against the Property and/or the Common Areas (but without duplication of amounts payable on account of clause (i) above), and (iii) all charges, levies or fees imposed by any governmental authority against Landlord by reason of or based upon the use of or number of parking spaces within the Common Areas, the amount of public services or public utilities used or consumed (e.g. water, gas, electricity, sewage or waste water disposal) in the Common Areas (but without duplication of amounts payable on account of clause (i) above), and all costs and fees (including attorneys fees) reasonably incurred by Landlord in contesting any Real Property Tax and in negotiating with public authorities as to any Real Property Tax. If, at any time during the Lease Term, the taxation or assessment of the Property prevailing as of the Effective Date of this Lease shall be altered so that in lieu of or in addition to any the Real Property Tax described above there shall be levied, awarded or imposed (whether by reason of a change in the method of taxation or assessment, creation of a new tax or charge, or any other cause) an alternate, substitute, or additional use or charge (i) on the value, size, use or occupancy of the Property or Landlords interest therein or (ii) on or measured by the gross receipts, income or rentals from the Property, or on Landlords business of owning, leasing or managing the Property or (iii) computed in any manner with respect to the operation of the Property, then any such tax or charge, however designated, shall be included within the meaning of the terms Real Property Tax or Real Property Taxes for purposes of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms Real Property Tax or Real Property Taxes shall not include estate, inheritance, transfer, gift or franchise taxes of Landlord or the federal or state income tax imposed on Landlords income from all sources.
Additionally, at any time and from time to time during the Lease Term during which Tenant is leasing at least fifty percent (50%) of the leasable space at the Property, to the extent permitted pursuant to the Ground Lease, Tenant, at its cost, shall have the right to seek a reduction in or otherwise contest any Real Property Taxes by action or proceeding against the entity with authority to assess or impose the same. In order to ensure that there is not a duplication of effort, Tenant shall notify Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to bringing or commencing any action with respect to such tax contest or reduction and if requested by Landlord, Tenant agrees not to bring or commence such action so long as Landlord is pursuing same. Landlord shall not be required to join in any proceeding or action brought by Tenant unless the provisions of applicable Laws require that such proceeding or action be brought by or in the name of Landlord, in which event Landlord shall join in such proceeding or action or permit it to be brought in Landlords name, provided that Tenant shall protect, indemnify, and hold Landlord free and harmless from and against any liability, cost or expense in connection with such proceeding or contest. Tenant shall continue, during the pendency of such proceeding or action, to pay the Real Property Taxes pursuant to this Paragraph 13.12(a). If Tenant is successful in such action or proceeding, Tenant shall be entitled to the benefit of the reduction in Real Property Taxes realized by Tenant in such contest or proceeding to the extent applicable to the Lease Term.
(b) Landlords Insurance Costs. The term Landlords Insurance Costs shall mean Tenants Property Share of the following (to the extent applicable to any portion of the Lease Term, regardless of when the same are incurred): the costs to Landlord to carry and maintain the policies of fire and property damage insurance for Building 2 and the Property and general liability and any other insurance required or permitted to be carried by Landlord pursuant to Article 9, together with any deductible amounts paid by Landlord upon the occurrence of any insured casualty or loss. In the event any Landlords Insurance Cost relates solely to Building 2 and not to any other portion of the Property, then Tenant shall pay Tenants Building Share thereof. In the event the rentable square footage of the Leased Premises or Building 2 is changed, Tenants Building Share and Tenants Property Share (as applicable) shall be recalculated so that the aggregate Building Share of all tenants in Building 2 and Property Share of all tenants in the Property shall equal 100%.
45
(c) Property Maintenance Costs. The term Property Maintenance Costs shall mean:
(i) (A) professional management fees equal to 2.0% of Base Monthly Rent (paid to Landlord or its affiliate), plus (B) Tenants Building Share of all other costs and expenses (except Landlords Insurance Costs and Real Property Taxes) paid or incurred by Landlord in protecting, operating, maintaining, repairing and preserving Building 2 and all parts thereof, including without limitation, (1) with respect to any such costs related solely to Building 2, the amortizing portion of any costs incurred by Landlord in the making of any modifications, alterations or improvements required by any governmental authority as set forth in Article 6, which are so amortized during the Lease Term and (2) such other costs as may be paid or incurred with respect to operating, maintaining, and preserving Building 2, such as repairing and resurfacing the exterior surfaces of Building 2 (including roofs), repairing and replacing structural parts of Building 2, and repairing and replacing, when necessary, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems serving Building 2; plus

13.14 Miscellaneous. Should any provisions of this Lease prove to be invalid or illegal, such invalidity or illegality shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other provisions hereof, and such remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every provision of this Lease in which time of performance is a factor. Any copy of this Lease which is executed by the parties shall be deemed an original for all purposes. This Lease shall, subject to the provisions regarding assignment, apply to and bind the respective heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of Landlord and Tenant.

If this Lease is signed by an individual doing business as or dba another person or entity or entity name, the individual who signs this Lease will be deemed to be the Tenant hereunder for all purposes. Submission of this Lease for review, examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute an offer to lease, a reservation of or an option for lease, or a binding agreement of any kind, and notwithstanding any inconsistent language contained in any other document, this Lease is not effective as a lease or otherwise until execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant, and prior to such mutual execution and delivery, neither party shall have any obligation to negotiate and may discontinue discussions and negotiations at any time for any reason or no reason. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State in which the Leased Premises are located.

Landlord and Tenant shall both be deemed to have drafted this Lease, and the rule of construction that a document
48
is to be construed against the drafting party shall not be employed in the construction or interpretation of this Lease. Where Tenant is obligated not to perform any act or is not permitted to perform any act, Tenant is also obligated to restrain any others reasonably within its control, including the Tenant Parties, from performing such act. Landlord shall not become or be deemed a partner or a joint venturer with Tenant by reason of any of the provisions of this Lease. In no event shall either Landlord or Tenant be liable to the other under any theory of tort, contract, strict liability or other legal or equitable theory for any exemplary, punitive, special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages, each of which is hereby excluded by agreement of the parties regardless of whether or not any party has been advised of the possibility of such damages; provided, however that the foregoing shall not apply to Tenants failure to comply with the provisions of Paragraph 13.2 above.

ARTICLE 15
OPTIONS TO EXTEND
15.1 Options to Extend. So long as Applovin Corporation or a Permitted Transferee is the Tenant hereunder and subject to the conditions set forth in subparagraphs (a) and (b) below, Tenant shall have two options to extend the term of this Lease with respect to the entirety of the Leased Premises, the first for a period of five (5) years from the expiration of the initial, unextended Lease Term (the First Extension Period), and the second (the Second Extension Period) for a period of five years from the expiration of the First Extension Period, subject to the following conditions:
50
(a) Each option to extend shall be exercised, if at all, by notice of exercise given to Landlord by Tenant not more than twelve (12) months nor less than six (6) months prior to the expiration of the initial, unextended Lease Term or the expiration of the First Extension Period, as applicable;
(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if Tenant is in default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, either at the time Tenant exercises either extension option or on the commencement date of the First Extension Period or the Second Extension Period, as applicable, Landlord shall have, in addition to all of Landlords other rights and remedies provided in this Lease, the right to terminate such option(s) to extend upon notice to Tenant. The foregoing shall not be read to prevent Tenant from curing the applicable default and then exercising the applicable extension option once the default is cured if such cure is completed within the applicable cure period, if any, expressly set forth in this Lease. In addition, if Tenant is in default at the time it attempts to exercise an option to extend, and (i) Tenant had not theretofore received notice of such default from Landlord, and (ii) because of the date of exercise, would not have enough time to cure the default and still be able to exercise the option, but would have had enough time to do so had Landlord provided prompt written notice of such default after learning of same, then Tenant shall be entitled to notice of such default from Landlord and shall have the cure period, if any, allotted therefor in Paragraph 12.1 above within which to cure such default, and then a period of five (5) business days within which to exercise the applicable extension option.
15.2 Fair Market Rent. In the event the applicable option is exercised in a timely fashion, the Lease shall be extended for the term of the applicable extension period upon all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, provided that the Base Monthly Rent for each extension period shall be 100% of the Fair Market Rent for the Leased Premises, increased as set forth below. For purposes hereof, Fair Market Rent shall be the initial Base Monthly Rent for each extension period and any escalations thereto, as determined with reference to the then-prevailing rates for recently negotiated office leases in similar Class A office buildings in the City of Palo Alto, pursuant to the process described below.
15.3 Tenants Election. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenants notice of exercise, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of Landlords estimate of the Base Monthly Rent for the applicable extension period, based on the provisions of Paragraph 15.2 above. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from Landlord, Tenant shall have the right either to (i) accept Landlords statement of Base Monthly Rent as the Base Monthly Rent for the applicable extension period; or (ii) elect to arbitrate Landlords estimate of Fair Market Rent which was the basis for Landlords determination of Base Monthly Rent, such arbitration to be conducted pursuant to the provisions hereof. Failure on the part of Tenant to require arbitration of Fair Market Rent within such 30 day period shall constitute acceptance of the Base Monthly Rent for the applicable extension period as calculated by Landlord. If Tenant elects arbitration, the arbitration shall be concluded within 90 days after the date of Tenants election, subject to extension for an additional 30 day period if a third arbitrator is required and does not act in a timely manner. To the extent that arbitration has not been completed prior to the expiration of any preceding period for which Base Monthly Rent has been determined, Tenant shall pay Base Monthly Rent at the rate calculated by Landlord, with the potential for an adjustment to be made once Fair Market Rent is ultimately determined by arbitration.
15.4 Rent Arbitration. In the event of arbitration, the judgment or the award rendered in any such arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction and shall be final and binding between the parties. The arbitration shall be conducted and determined in Santa Clara County in accordance with the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association or its successor for arbitration of commercial disputes except to the extent that the procedures mandated by such rules shall be modified as follows:
51
(a) Tenant shall make demand for arbitration in writing within thirty (30) days after service of Landlords determination of Fair Market Rent given under Paragraph 15.3 above, specifying therein the name and address of the person to act as the arbitrator on its behalf. The arbitrator shall be qualified as a real estate appraiser familiar with the Fair Market Rent of similar Class A office space in Palo Alto who would qualify as an expert witness over objection to give opinion testimony addressed to the issue in a court of competent jurisdiction. Failure on the part of Tenant to make a proper demand in a timely manner for such arbitration shall constitute a waiver of the right thereto. Within fifteen (15) days after the service of the demand for arbitration, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant, specifying the name and address of the person designated by Landlord to act as arbitrator on its behalf who shall be similarly qualified. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant of the appointment of its arbitrator, within or by the time above specified, then the arbitrator appointed by Tenant shall be the arbitrator to determine the issue.
(b) In the event that two arbitrators are chosen pursuant to Paragraph 15.4(a) above, the arbitrators so chosen shall, within fifteen (15) days after the second arbitrator is appointed determine the Fair Market Rent. If the two arbitrators shall be unable to agree upon a determination of Fair Market Rent within such 15 day period, they, themselves, shall appoint a third arbitrator, who shall be a competent and impartial person with qualifications similar to those required of the first two arbitrators pursuant to Paragraph 15.4(a). In the event they are unable to agree upon such appointment within seven days after expiration of such 15 day period, the third arbitrator shall be selected by the parties themselves, if they can agree thereon, within a further period of fifteen (15) days. If the parties do not so agree, then either party, on behalf of both, may request appointment of such a qualified person by the then Presiding Judge of the California Superior Court having jurisdiction over the County of Santa Clara, and the other party shall not raise any question as to such Judges full power and jurisdiction to entertain the application for and make the appointment. The three arbitrators shall decide the dispute if it has not previously been resolved by following the procedure set forth below.
(c) Where an issue cannot be resolved by agreement between the two arbitrators selected by Landlord and Tenant or settlement between the parties during the course of arbitration, the issue shall be resolved by the three arbitrators within 15 days of the appointment of the third arbitrator in accordance with the following procedure. The arbitrator selected by each of the parties shall state in writing his determination of the Fair Market Rent supported by the reasons therefor with counterpart copies to each party. The arbitrators shall arrange for a simultaneous exchange of such proposed resolutions. The role of the third arbitrator shall be to select which of the two proposed resolutions most closely approximates his determination of Fair Market Rent. The third arbitrator shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either of the two proposed resolutions. The resolution he chooses as most closely approximating his determination shall constitute the decision of the arbitrators and be final and binding upon the parties.
(d) In the event of a failure, refusal or inability of any arbitrator to act, his successor shall be appointed by him, but in the case of the third arbitrator, his successor shall be appointed in the same manner as provided for appointment of the third arbitrator. The arbitrators shall decide the issue within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the third arbitrator. Any decision in which the arbitrator appointed by Landlord and the arbitrator appointed by Tenant concur shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties. Each party shall pay the fee and expenses of its respective arbitrator and both shall share the fee and expenses of the third arbitrator, if any, and the attorneys fees and expenses of counsel for the respective parties and of witnesses shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling such witnesses.
(e) The arbitrators shall have the right to consult experts and competent authorities to obtain factual information or evidence pertaining to a determination of Fair Market Rent, but any such consultation shall be made in the presence of both parties with full right on their part to cross examine. The arbitrators shall render their decision and award in writing with counterpart copies to each party. The arbitrators shall have no power to modify the provisions of this Lease.

(ii) Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord whatsoever, whether for personal injury, property damage, loss of use of the Leased Premises, or otherwise, due to the interruption or failure of telephone services to the Leased Premises.

WORK LETTER
THIS WORK LETTER (Work Letter) sets forth the agreement of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the improvements to be constructed in the Leased Premises, as defined in the Lease to which this Work Letter is attached as an exhibit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Work Letter and the terms of the Lease, the terms of the Lease shall control. All defined terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Lease, unless otherwise defined in this Work Letter.
The parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the Lease is an amendment and restatement of the Original Lease, (b) this Work Letter has been updated to include the changes made by the parties to the Work Letter attached to the Original Lease, (c) without limitation on any warranties or covenants intended by the parties to be of a continuing nature, Landlord and Tenant have performed their respective construction and payment obligations under this Work Letter, and (iv) this Work Letter has not been updated to reflect the current, completed state of construction, and is being attached mainly for reference purposes.
1. Base Building Work.
(a) Base Building Design Documents. Landlord, at Landlords sole cost and expense, shall perform the base building work (Base Building Work) required in order to construct the shell and core of a Class A office building containing approximately 72,812 rentable square feet of space. The description of the Base Building Work is set forth on Schedule A-1. The Base Building Work will include only the elements shown in Column 1 on the Base Building Work Matrix attached hereto as Schedule A-2, and without limitation will not include the elements shown in Column 2 thereon. Landlords preliminary site plan and building plans are shown on Schedule A-3. Schedules A-1, A-2, and A-3 are hereinafter referred to collectively as the Base Building Design Documents.
(b) Tenant-Requested Changes. Tenant shall be entitled to review the Base Building Design Documents under subparagraph (a) above as they are further developed from the preliminary stages through construction documents but:
(i) Such review shall be limited to matters within Tenants Scope of Review. As used herein, Tenants Scope of Review shall be limited to those aspects of any iteration of the Base Building Design Documents which (A) relate to a material change to the dimensions or layout of the interior core areas including staircases, or a change in the placement, orientation, and quantity of the interior elements of the Base Building Work from the Base Building Design Documents or any previous iteration of the Base Building Design Documents that would materially adversely impact the utility or quality of the Tenant Improvements (as defined in Paragraph 2 below), or (B) fail to comply with applicable Laws and Restrictions relating to the Base Building Work, or (C) contain any material errors or internal inconsistencies. Any change requested by Tenant that is not within Tenants Scope of Review shall constitute a Tenant-Requested Change. Each Tenant-Requested Change shall (x) be in writing delivered to Landlord and (y) be subject to Landlords prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall respond to such Tenant-Requested Change within ten (10) business days after receipt thereof. If Landlord approves the proposed Tenant-Requested Change, Landlord will notify Tenant by delivering a change order proposal setting forth the estimated cost of such Tenant-Requested Change and the estimated additional time in completing the Base Building Work that would be caused by such Tenant-Requested Change. Landlord agrees that the contractor fee percentage charged by Landlords Contractor (as defined below) shall not increase over such percentage otherwise applicable to the Base Building Work. Tenant will approve or disapprove the change order proposal within
Exhibit B
five (5) business days after receipt thereof. If Tenant so approves, the Base Building Design Documents (including the Approved Base Building Construction Documents, as defined in subparagraph (d) below if the same have previously been completed) shall be revised to reflect such Tenant-Requested Change. If Tenant fails to approve the change order proposal within five (5) business days after delivery thereof by Landlord, Tenant will be deemed to have withdrawn the proposed Tenant-Requested Change. Any delay in performing the Base Building Work arising from any Tenant-Requested Change shall constitute Tenant Delay.
(ii) The incremental additional costs incurred by Landlord in considering and/or implementing any Tenant-Requested Change, including, without limitation, additional design and construction costs, and additional real estate taxes, interest and other financing expenses and other soft costs incurred by Landlord as a result of a delay in the date that the Leased Premises are delivered to Tenant in the Required Delivery Condition, as defined in Paragraph 1(d) below (the Tenant-Requested Changes Amount), as determined by Landlords general contractor (Landlords Contractor) shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord
(c) Landlord-Permitted Changes. In connection with the design and performance of the Base Building Work, Landlord may:
(i) make changes to the exterior of Building 2 and the outline and footprint of Building 2, as well as the placement of structural, elevator, staircases, and restroom elements (provided that (x) the dimensions and architectural elements, and the use and proportions of materials of the exterior of Building 2, as well as the configuration of the core elements, shall be generally consistent with Schedule A-1, and (y) and which shall not materially adversely impact the utility or quality of the Tenant Improvements as shown on the plans and specifications for the Tenant Improvements, if any, previously reviewed and approved by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 2 below);
(ii) make changes to the Base Building Design Documents as are required by any governmental authority, including, without limitation, any changes required to achieve the Required Delivery Condition; and
(iii) make non-material changes that are required to address a circumstance arising during construction which was not foreseen at the time of the finalization of the Approved Base Building Construction Documents (as defined below). Landlord shall endeavor to give Tenant notice of any such changes promptly after becoming aware of same.
If Landlord desires to make any substitution and/or change within Tenants Scope of Review which does not constitute a Landlord-Permitted Change, Landlord shall first be required to obtain Tenants consent to such substitution and/or change; provided that Tenants consent to such substitution and/or change shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant shall be deemed to have granted its consent to any such substitution and/or change if Tenant fails to deliver within five (5) business days following Landlords notice of the proposed substitution and/or change, written notice to Landlord objecting to the proposed substitution and/or change which notice specifies in reasonable detail the specific elements of the proposed substitution and/or change that Tenant asserts (x) do not constitute a Landlord Permitted Change and (y) are within Tenants Scope of Review, and (z) are objectionable and the reasons why.
(d) Required Delivery Condition. Landlord shall construct the Base Building Work as described on and substantially in accordance with the construction drawings and specifications therefor developed by Landlord in accordance with this Work Letter and approved by the City of Palo Alto (the Approved Base Building Construction Documents), in compliance with this Work Letter, the Lease, and all applicable Laws and Restrictions. Landlord shall commence construction of the Base Building

The Tenant Improvement Working Drawings as modified by the City of Palo Alto are defined herein as the Final Tenant Improvement Plans. Prior to commencing construction, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the City of Palo Alto building permit for the Final Tenant Improvement Plans.
Exhibit B
Any material changes to the Final Tenant Improvement Plans shall be subject to Landlords prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Any material deviation in construction from the design specifications and criteria set forth in the Final Tenant Improvement Plans, other than as approved in writing by Landlord (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), shall constitute a default for which Landlord may, within ten (10) business days after giving written notice to Tenant, elect to exercise the remedies available in the event of default under the provisions of this Lease, unless such default is cured within such ten (10) business day period, or, if the cure reasonably requires more than ten (10) business days, unless such default is cured as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than sixty (60) days after Landlords notice to Tenant. Only new materials shall be used in the construction of the Tenant Improvements.
Tenant acknowledges that it will engage the Tenant Improvement Architect, the Tenant Improvement Project Manager, and the Tenant Improvement Contractor, and shall be solely responsible for the actions and omissions of its architects, engineers, contractors, and project/construction managers and for any loss, liability, claim, cost, damage or expense suffered by Landlord or any other entity or person as a result of the acts or omissions of its architect, engineers or project/construction managers. Landlords approval of any of Tenants architects, engineers or project/construction managers and of any documents prepared by any of them shall not be for the benefit of Tenant or any third party, but shall simply permit Tenant to proceed with construction of the Tenant Improvements pursuant to such approved plans, and Landlord shall have no duty to Tenant or to any third parties for the actions or omissions of Tenants architects, engineers or project/construction managers. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, claims and liabilities arising from the actions or omissions of Tenants architects, engineers and project/construction managers.
The Tenant Improvements shall be constructed by Tenant Improvement Contractor substantially in accordance with the Final Tenant Improvement Plans, in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Work Letter, the Lease, and all applicable Laws and Restrictions.

Tenant shall notify Landlord of its intention to commence construction of the Tenant Improvements ten (10) days prior to commencement and shall again notify Landlord of actual commencement within one (1) business day thereafter, which commencement shall allow for Tenants Improvements to be completed no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after commencement, subject to any delays caused by Landlords delay in responding to plans. Landlord shall have the right to post in a conspicuous location on Building 2 or the Leased Premises, as well as record with the County of Santa Clara, a Notice of Nonresponsibility. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of the City of Palo Alto building permit allowing for the construction of the Final Tenant Improvement Plans prior to commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements.
Notwithstanding that Paragraph 2.3 of the Lease provides for Tenant being entitled to occupancy of the Leased Premises only four (4) weeks prior to the date then anticipated by Landlord to be the Lease
Exhibit B
Commencement Date, Landlord agrees to work with Tenant to develop a reasonable phasing plan that would permit the Tenant Improvement Contractor (and the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing subcontractors in particular) to gain access to the Leased Premises from time to time at logical intervals while the Base Building Work is being performed, in order to achieve efficiencies in constructing the Tenant Improvements, but designed so as to avoid any delay in the completion of the Base Building Work by Landlord. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that neither the Tenant Improvement Contractor nor any of the subcontractors shall be permitted access prior to Building 2 being watertight, that the timing of access to Building 2 and intervals and schedule for the Tenant Improvement Contractor and all subcontractors must be agreed upon in writing by Landlord and Tenant prior to such access being granted, and that Landlord is entitled to deny access if Landlord reasonably concludes that access at times proposed by Tenant could be expected to delay Landlord in achieving the Required Delivery Condition.
Tenant shall, and shall cause the Tenant Improvement Contractor to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause construction of the Final Tenant Improvement Plans to be performed in as efficient a manner as is commercially reasonable. All work to be performed inside or outside of Building 2 shall be coordinated with Landlord. Tenant and the Tenant Improvement Contractor shall conduct their work and employ labor in such manner as to maintain harmonious labor relations. Tenant shall diligently pursue to completion, the construction of the Final Tenant Improvement Plans for the entirety of the Leased Premises.
Tenant, at Tenants sole cost and expense, shall clear debris resulting from the Tenant Improvement construction as necessary so as not to interfere with the construction of the Base Building Work. No trash, or other debris, or other waste may be deposited at any time outside Building 2 except in containers reasonably approved by Landlord. If so, Landlord may, after written notice to Tenant, remove it at Tenants expense, which expense shall equal the cost of removal plus ten percent (10%) of such costs as a management fee. Storage of Tenant Improvement construction materials, tools and equipment shall be coordinated with Landlords Contractor and be stored in the designated area allocated by the Landlords Contractor in its site utilization plan. Subject to Paragraph 9.3 of the Lease, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for the cost of repairing any damage to Building 2 caused by Tenant Improvement Contractor and its subcontractors during the construction of the Tenant Improvements. Upon completion of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall cause Building 2 and the Common Areas to be clean and free from construction debris resulting from Tenants Tenant Improvement construction. Tenant will ensure that the Tenant Improvement Contractor strictly adheres to the agreed upon schedule and does not cause any delays to Landlords construction schedule. Tenant and Tenant Improvement Contractor will ensure that labor-related issues do not impact the construction schedule of the Base Building Work by appropriately implementing approved procedures and, if necessary, placement of dual gate systems, etc., if there is a labor dispute.
Tenant shall submit to Landlord on or before taking occupancy of the Leased Premises for the purpose of conducting business, a Certificate of Substantial Completion, AIA Document G704, by its Tenant Improvement Architect for the Final Tenant Improvement Plans, a copy of all final inspection cards for the Tenant Improvements signed by the appropriate City of Palo Alto inspector and the Temporary Certificate of Occupancy from the City of Palo Alto.
Tenant shall submit to Landlord two CDs containing copies of all Tenant Improvement as-built plans and specifications, warranties, and operating manuals covering all of the work in the Final Tenant Improvement Plans.
Any minor work required for Tenants occupancy of the Leased Premises but not included in the Final Tenant Improvement Plans such as the procurement and installation of furniture, fixtures, equipment, interior artwork and signage, shall not require Landlord approval but shall be installed in a good and workmanlike manner by Tenant.
Exhibit B
3. Property Development Process Generally.
(a) Project Meetings. At Landlords request from time to time, most commonly after Tenant has requested a change pursuant to Paragraph 1(b)(i) above or when Landlord is seeking information or feedback from Tenant, Tenant Improvement Project Manager shall attend meetings to review the status of the construction of the Base Building Work (each, a Project Meeting). In this regard, Landlord will provide Tenant and Tenants Representative with reasonable advance notice (not less than 48 hours except in cases which Landlord in good faith believes to be emergencies) of such Project Meetings. Landlord agrees that once Tenant commences construction of the Tenant Improvements, coordination of the Base Building Work and the Tenant Improvement work will be an agenda item for at least one Project Meeting per month, and that Tenant, Tenant Improvement Project Manager, and Tenant Improvement Contractor will be entitled to attend same.
(b) Site Observation of Base Building Work. As a part of each Project Meeting during the period of construction of the Base Building Work, Tenant Improvement Project Manager may elect to observe the status of construction of the Base Building Work. Any such observation shall be conducted under the supervision of Landlords Contractor and shall be subject to Landlords Contractors site rules and safety requirements.
(c) Work Schedule; Milestones. Within seven (7) days after each Project Meeting, Landlord will update and provide to Tenant a then-current schedule showing the progress of completion of the Base Building Work, and whether the milestones set forth in the work schedule are likely to be completed on time. However, such schedule(s) and milestones will be provided to Tenant for information purposes only, and Tenants only rights and remedies with respect to Landlord missing deadlines are those termination rights set forth in Paragraphs 2.4(c)(i) and 2.4(c)(ii) of the Lease.
(d) Tenant Improvement Meetings. In order to provide Landlord with the opportunity to provide information or feedback to Tenant on various aspects of the Tenant Improvements, once Tenant has engaged the Tenant Improvement Contractor, Tenant shall invite Landlord and Landlords Representative to all meetings (both regularly scheduled and specially called) at which the Tenant Improvements are anticipated to be a primary topic of discussion. In this regard, Tenant will provide Landlord and Landlords Representative with the regular meeting schedule once it is determined, and will provide Landlord and Landlords Representative with reasonable advance notice (not less than 48 hours except in cases which Tenant in good faith believes to be emergencies) of specially called meetings.
(e) Landlords Representative; Tenant Improvement Project Manager. The Tenant Improvement Project Manager for the purposes of this Work Letter shall be Ed Lu. The Tenant Improvement Project Manager shall perform certain services for and on behalf of Tenant during the construction of the Base Building Work and design and construction of the Tenant Improvements and shall receive copies of all notices to which reference is made in this Work Letter given by Landlord to Tenant, such notices to otherwise comply with Paragraph 13.10 of the Lease. Landlords representative shall be Nandy Kumar (Landlords Representative). Landlords Representative shall perform certain services for and on behalf of Landlord during the design and construction phases of the Base Building Work and Tenant Improvements and shall receive copies of all notices to which reference is made in this Work Letter given by Tenant to Landlord, such notices to otherwise comply with Paragraph 13.10 of the Lease.
Exhibit B
4. Project Costs. The costs and expenses of the development and construction of the Base Building Work and the Tenant Improvements (Project Costs) shall be paid in accordance with this Paragraph 4.
(a) Base Building Work. The costs and expenses of the development and construction of the Base Building Work (other than the Tenant-Requested Changes Amount) shall be paid by Landlord.
(b) Tenant Improvements. Unless specified otherwise herein, Tenant shall bear and pay the cost of the Tenant Improvements (which cost shall include, without limitation, the hard costs of construction as provided for in the Tenant Improvement Contractors contract, the cost of permits, and all architectural, design, space planning, and engineering services obtained by Tenant in connection with Tenant Improvements, but shall not include costs incurred for furniture, fixtures, or inventory).
(i) Provided that and so long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease, Landlord shall contribute a maximum of $55 per rentable square foot of space within the Leased Premises, for an aggregate maximum of $4,004,660 (the Tenant Improvement Allowance) for such costs, which shall be paid by Landlord. The foregoing aggregate maximum amount is based upon the Leased Premises containing 72,812 rentable square feet of space, and is subject to adjustment as described in the Leased Premises definition set forth in Article 1 of the Lease. The foregoing shall not be read to prevent Tenant from curing the applicable default and then being entitled to Landlords contribution once the default is cured if such cure is completed within the applicable cure period, if any, expressly set forth in this Lease. If Tenant cures such default but not within the applicable period, Landlord shall notify Tenant, within five (5) business days after such cure is completed that Landlord will either (a) exercise its remedies under this Work Letter and/or the Lease, or (b) accept Tenants late cure. The Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be utilized only for Tenant Improvements, and shall be available to Tenant only until the first anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date, after which Landlord shall have no further obligation to provide any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance.
(ii) Tenant shall bear and pay the cost of the Tenant Improvements (including but not limited to all of the foregoing fees and costs) in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, if any (the Excess TI Amount), which shall initially be estimated by reference to the Tenant Improvement Contractors final, executed construction contract and any costs in addition thereto in Tenants Construction Budget (as defined below) for the Tenant Improvements, and shall be updated from time to time to account for any anticipated cost increases.
(iii) From time to time but not more frequent than monthly, Tenant shall submit applications for payment to Landlord in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, certified as correct by an officer of Tenant and by the Tenant Improvement Architect, for a disbursement from the Tenant Improvement Allowance, which shall set forth such information and shall be accompanied by such supporting documentation as shall be reasonably requested by Landlord, including but not limited to the following:
(A) Invoices.
(B) Fully executed conditional lien releases from the Tenant Improvement Contractor and all material subcontractors and suppliers furnishing labor or materials during such period and fully executed unconditional lien releases from all such entities covering the prior payment period, in each case in the form prescribed by law.
Exhibit B
(C) Tenant Improvement Contractors worksheets showing percentages of completion.
(D) Tenant Improvement Contractors certification as follows:
There are no known mechanics or materialmens liens outstanding at the date of this application for payment, all due and payable bills with respect to Building 2 have been paid to date or shall be paid from the proceeds of this application for payment, and there is no known basis for the filing of any mechanics or materialmens liens against Building 2 or the Property, and, to the best of our knowledge, waivers from all subcontractors are valid and constitute an effective waiver of lien under applicable law to the extent of payments that have been made or shall be made concurrently herewith.
(E) All documents necessary to effect and perfect the transfer of title to the materials or equipment for which application for payment is made.
(iv) Subject to such deadline and based upon applications for payment (including Tenant Improvement Contractors Application and Certification for Payment AIA G702 certified by Tenant Improvement Architect) submitted and certified by Tenant, on or before thirty (30) days following submission of the application for payment, Landlord shall make progress payments from the Tenant Improvement Allowance to Tenant on account of such Tenant Improvements or such portion as has been completed as evidenced in such application for payment (but in no event more than $55 per rentable square foot for the applicable space under construction) from time to time, but not more frequently than once per month, in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 4. Landlords obligation to make such payments shall also be conditioned upon Tenant making a simultaneous contribution equal to any portion of the applicable draw request then due in excess of Landlords Share (as defined below). In no event shall Landlord have any responsibility for the cost of the Tenant Improvements in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. Landlord shall have no obligation to make any direct payments to Tenant Improvement Contractor or its material suppliers or subcontractors or to determine whether amounts due them from Tenant or the Tenant Improvement Contractor, as applicable, in connection with the Tenant Improvements have, in fact, been paid. Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with reasonable assurances that the Tenant Improvement Allowance funds will be available for funding when required pursuant to this Paragraph 4. Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with reasonable assurances that the Excess TI Amount will be available for funding when required pursuant to this Paragraph 4.
Landlord shall only pay Landlords Share, as hereinafter defined, of each draw request, and Tenant shall pay the balance thereof. As used herein, (i) Construction Budget shall be defined as a budget prepared by Tenant estimating the total costs which will be incurred by Tenant in the construction and installation of the Tenant Improvements as described in Paragraph 4(b) (Total Costs), and approved by Landlord in its reasonable discretion solely for purposes of determining Total Costs, and (ii) Landlords Share shall be defined as a fraction, the numerator of which is the Tenant Improvement Allowance and the denominator of which is the Total Costs, as estimated in the then current Construction Budget and approved by Landlord as aforesaid; provided however, that at no time shall Landlords Share exceed 100%. In the event that Landlords Share changes due to subsequent updated Construction Budgets and as a result Landlord has in the aggregate paid more than Landlords Share then calculated, multiplied by the aggregate amount of Total Costs paid to date (inclusive of the amount in the current draw request), there shall be appropriate adjustment made in the then current draw request sufficient to cause the aggregate amount of Total Costs paid to date (inclusive of the amount in the current draw request) from the Tenant Improvement Allowance to equal the then-current Landlords Share multiplied by the then-current Total Costs.
Exhibit B
In the event that Landlord fails to make a disbursement from the Tenant Improvement Allowance in accordance with the terms hereof, and the amount thereof remains unpaid by Landlord for thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant, then without limiting Tenants other remedies available to Tenant, Tenant may, after Landlords failure to pay such amounts within five (5) days after Tenants delivery of a second written notice from Tenant delivered after the expiration of such 30-day period, deduct the amount thereof (plus interest at the Default Interest Rate) from the Base Monthly Rent payment(s) next due and owing under the Lease; provided, however, that in no event shall any such offset against Base Monthly Rent exceed in any calendar month an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Base Monthly Rent due and payable hereunder for such month, and provided further that such limitation shall not affect the aggregate amount of the offset to which Tenant is entitled but only the period of time over which such deduction may be taken (such that, if Tenant otherwise could not fully obtain the benefit of such deduction over the remaining Lease Term, Tenant shall have the right to offset more than fifty percent (50%) of Base Monthly Rent in the remaining months of the Lease Term to the extent required for Tenant to offset the full amount due Tenant)
5. Tenant Delays. If Landlord shall be delayed in achieving Required Delivery Condition as a result any of the following (collectively, Tenant Delays):
(a) Tenants failure to pay any costs or expenses payable by Tenant under this Work Letter as and when required hereunder;
(b) any labor unrest attributable to Tenant or its contractors or vendors that continues for more than one (1) business day after notice from Landlord;
(c) any other item described in this Work Letter as a Tenant Delay;
(d) any delay attributable to the entry by Tenant or Tenants contractors, agents or employees onto the Property prior to the Lease Commencement Date to perform the Tenant Improvements or otherwise that continues for more than one (1) business day after notice from Landlord; or
(e) any reasonably necessary rescheduling of the sequence of any of work due to Tenant Delay,
then the date upon which the Required Delivery Condition is deemed to have occurred, and the date upon which Building 2 is deemed to have been delivered to Tenant in the condition called for by the Lease and this Work Letter, shall be the date upon which they would have occurred absent such Tenant Delays.
6. Landlord Delays. If Tenant shall be delayed in completing the Tenant Improvements as a result any of the following (collectively, Landlord Delays):
(a) Landlords failure to pay any costs or expenses payable by Landlord under this Work Letter as and when required hereunder; or
(b) any delay by Landlord in responding to Tenants submissions beyond the response periods applicable thereto set forth in Paragraph 2 above,
then to the extent such Landlord Delays are the sole cause of Tenant not completing the Tenant Improvements within four (4) months after the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall be entitled to one (1) day of abated Base Monthly Rent for each such day of delay caused solely by such Landlord Delays.
Exhibit B
7. Efforts to Mitigate Delays. Each of Landlord and Tenant agree to work together to mitigate the duration of any Tenant Delays.
8. Force Majeure Notice Procedure. If an event of Force Majeure occurs, the party asserting the occurrence of Force Majeure shall give prompt notice (Force Majeure Notice) to the other as soon as reasonably possible after the onset of such Force Majeure delay stating the cause and estimating the duration thereof. If, as a result of an event of Force Majeure, either party shall be delayed, hindered or prevented from the performance of any act required hereunder within the time period set forth herein, and provided that in each instance of an event of Force Majeure, the party claiming such event has occurred shall have given a Force Majeure Notice to the other party as specified above, the performance of such act shall be excused for the period of delay, and the period of performance of such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay on a day-for-day basis. Financial inability to perform, or any default by Landlord under any financing for the Property (including any construction loan for the Base Building Work) shall not constitute an event of Force Majeure.
9. Assignment of Rights Against Tenant Improvement Contractor, Tenant Improvement Architect, Tenant Improvement Project Manager, etc. Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord on a non-exclusive basis any and all rights Tenant may have against the Tenant Improvement Contractor, the Tenant Improvement Architect, the Tenant Improvement Project Manager, and any other of Tenants consultants, subcontractors, agents, etc., relating to the Tenant Improvements, without in any way obligating Landlord to pursue or prosecute such rights. Tenant shall retain the right to pursue or prosecute any such rights to the extent that Landlord does not do so. Tenant shall promptly cause the Tenant Improvement Contractor, the Tenant Improvement Architect, the Tenant Improvement Project Manager, and any other of Tenants consultants, subcontractors, agents, etc. (once each such person has been engaged) to execute and deliver to Landlord a consent in the form of Schedule B hereto, consenting to the foregoing assignment.
