Exhibit 10.7

 

THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE

 

THIS THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE (“Amendment”) is made as of October 25, 2004 between MOFFETT PARK DRIVE LLC, a California limited liability company (“Lessor”), and ARIBA, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Lessee”).

 

THE PARTIES ENTER INTO THIS AMENDMENT based upon the following facts, understandings and intentions:

 

A. Lessor and Lessee are now parties to that certain Technology Corners Triple Net Multiple Building Lease dated March 15, 2000, as amended by a letter agreement dated September 11, 2000, a First Amendment to Lease dated January 12, 2001 and a Second Amendment to Lease dated October 31, 2002 (the “Second Amendment”) (as amended, the “Lease”), whereby Lessor leases to Lessee, and Lessee leases from Lessor, certain premises (the “Premises”) located at 1111 Lockheed Martin Way in Sunnyvale, California, including four (4) free standing, four-story office and research and development buildings and one (1) amenity building.

 

B. Lessee and Motorola, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Motorola”) have now entered into that certain Sublease dated as of September 25, 2004, as amended by a First Amendment to Sublease dated as of October 7, 2004 and a Second Amendment to and Restatement of Sublease dated as of October21, 2004 (collectively, as amended, the “Motorola Sublease”) pursuant to which Lessee sublets to Motorola, and Motorola sublets from Lessee, a portion of the Premises comprised of a portion of the first floor and all of the third and fourth floors of Building Four of the Project, consisting of approximately ninety-one thousand three hundred (91,300) rentable square feet of space, subject to certain rights of Motorola to expand its subleased portion of Building Four as more particularly described in the Motorola Sublease. Lessor, Lessee and Motorola have each executed a Consent to Sublease (“Consent to Sublease”) and Recognition Agreement (“Recognition Agreement”) of even date herewith with respect to the Motorola Sublease.

 

C. Pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Lease, Lessor’s written consent to the Motorola Sublease is required. Lessee is required to reimburse Lessor for all of Lessor’s reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, architect fees and engineering fees) involved in reviewing any request for consent to a subletting of the Premises.

 

D. Lessor is willing to consent to the Motorola Sublease, but only if the Lease is amended as more particularly described below.

 

E. The parties hereto desire to modify the Lease as hereinafter provided. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning given them in the Lease.


NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and promises of the parties, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Second Additional Security Deposit. Within ten (10) business days after the date on which this Amendment is executed by Lessor and Lessee, Lessee shall deposit with Lessor a security deposit (the “Second Additional Security Deposit”) in the form of an unconditional, irrevocable stand-by letter of credit, with Lessor and, if requested by Lessor, Lessor’s lender (provided that such lender agrees to execute a tri-party agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B), as beneficiaries thereunder. The face amount of the Second Additional Security Deposit shall be equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000); provided, however, that if Lessee is not then in default hereunder, the face amount of the Second Additional Security Deposit shall be reduced on the first anniversary of the issuance thereof to Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) and further reduced on the second anniversary of the issuance thereof to Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), reduced on the third anniversary of the issuance thereof to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) and reduced on the fourth anniversary thereof to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). The face amount of the letter of credit acting as the Second Additional Security Deposit shall thereafter remain at One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for the remaining period of time until the date that is forty-five (45) days after the expiration of the Term of the Lease and any extensions thereof. Such letter of credit shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and shall be held by Lessor in the manner, and subject to the terms of Section 4.06 of the Lease, except that the last sentence of such Section 4.06 shall not apply to the Second Additional Security Deposit. At Lessor’s request, any future lender to Lessor shall be named as a co-beneficiary under both the Second Additional Security Deposit, the Additional Security Deposit delivered to Lessor pursuant to the Second Amendment and the Security Deposit originally delivered to Lessor pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Lease, together with any renewals, supplements, amendments or substitutions thereof, provided that Lessee’s obligation to name any future lender as a co-beneficiary under such letters of credit may be conditioned upon such lender and Lessor executing a tri-party agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Lessee’s failure to execute and deliver to Lessor any such tri-party agreement within ten (10) days of request therefor shall be an event of default under Section 12.01(c) of the Lease. The Second Additional Security Deposit shall be held by Lessor as security for the faithful performance by Lessee of all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of the Lease applicable to Lessee. Lessor may, in Lessor’s sole discretion, make a draw request against either the Security Deposit described in Section 4.06 of the Lease, the Additional Security Deposit described in the Second Amendment and/or the Second Additional Security Deposit to the extent such draws are allowed pursuant to the terms of the Lease.

 

2. Consent Fees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of request therefor, together with copies of invoices supporting such request, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the amount of any and all of Lessor’s costs and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, architect fees, engineering fees and fees incurred in the review of the Work Letter attached to the Motorola Sublease and related plans, together with any such fees or expenses incurred by Lessor’s lenders which Lessor is required to reimburse such lenders) incurred in connection with Lessor’s (or its lenders’) review of the Motorola Sublease and related documents (including but not limited to this Amendment).

 

3. Consent to Interwoven Sublease Amendment. Pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Sublease between Lessee and Interwoven, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Interwoven”), dated as of June 28, 2001 (the “Interwoven Sublease”), Interwoven is a current subtenant of a portion of the Premises leased to Lessee. Lessee and Interwoven propose to

 

2


amend the Interwoven Sublease, by a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Sublease substantively in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Sublease Amendment”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Interwoven Sublease would be terminated as to the portion of the Interwoven sublease premises located in Building Four (“Building Four Premises”). Lessor hereby consents to the Sublease Amendment.

 

4. Excess Rent. Section 11.04 of the Lease requires Lessee to pay to Lessor a portion of amounts received from subtenants (“Excess Rent”). Lessor acknowledges receipt of Eighty One Thousand Six Hundred Eighty Nine Dollars and 77/100 ($81,689.77) (“Section 11.04 Payment”) from Lessee towards Lessee’s obligation to share with Lessor any Excess Rent received from Interwoven under the Interwoven Sublease. In partial consideration for Lessee’s agreement to provide the Second Additional Letter of Credit and to pay the Section 11.04 Payment as provided herein, Lessor agrees that, as of the date hereof, Lessee shall have no obligation to pay any further amounts under Section 11.04 of the Lease with respect to the Building Four Premises under the Interwoven Sublease, as amended by the Sublease Amendment, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude Lessor’s rights to any Excess Rent under under the terms of the Lease, as and when such Excess Rent shall ever be generated again under the Interwoven Sublease or any other sublease of the Premises. Without limitation of the foregoing, Lessor agrees that Lessee shall not owe to Lessor any portion of the Reduction Fee as defined in the Sublease Amendment. Nothing in this Third Amendment is intended to amend Section 11.04 except as expressly stated in this Section 4.

 

5. Full Force and Effect. Except as herein amended and supplemented, the Lease Documents shall continue in full force and effect as written.

B. Pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Lease, Tenant has caused Comerica Bank-California to issue its irrevocable standby letter of credit No. 558273 in favor of Borrower and Lender as co-beneficiaries, and for the account of Tenant, in the stated amount of $25,740,000 (together with all and any replacement or renewals of such letter of credit, the “Security Deposit Letter of Credit”). Additionally, (i) pursuant to Section 1 of the Second Amendment, Tenant has caused Comerica Bank-California to issue an irrevocable standby letter of credit in favor of Borrower and Lender, as co-beneficiaries, and for the account of Tenant in the stated amount of $600,000 (together with all and any replacement or renewals of such letter of credit, the “Additional Security Deposit Letter of Credit”), and (ii) pursuant to Section 1 of the Third Amendment, Tenant has caused Comerica Bank-California to issue another irrevocable standby letter of credit in favor of Borrower and Lender, as co-beneficiaries, and for the account of Tenant in the stated amount of $5,000,000, subject to certain scheduled reductions described therein (together with all and any replacement or renewals of such letter of credit, the “Second Additional Security Deposit Letter of Credit” and, together with the Security Deposit Letter of Credit and the Additional Security Deposit Letter of Credit, the “Security Deposit Letters of Credit”).

 

C.

6


Promissory Notes and encumbering the Premises. The loan which is evidenced by said Promissory Notes may be referred to as the “Loan”; and the said Promissory Notes, Deed of Trust, and all other documents and instruments evidencing, securing or relating to the Loan are referred to herein as the “Loan Documents.”

 

D. Pursuant to the Loan Documents, Lender and Borrower agreed that any letters of credit issued on behalf of Tenant as security under the Lease name both Lender and Borrower as co-beneficiaries.

  C.

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited, invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition, invalidity, illegality or
