The outline of the Premises is set forth in Exhibit A-1 attached hereto and the Premises has approximately the number of rentable square feet as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary. The parties hereto agree that the lease of the Premises is upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions (the “TCCs”) herein set forth, and Tenant covenants as a material part of the consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each and all of such TCCs by it to be kept and performed and that this Lease is made upon the condition of such performance. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the purpose of Exhibit A-1 is to show the location of the Premises in the “Building,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.2, below, only, and such Exhibit is not meant to constitute an agreement, representation or warranty as to the construction of the Premises, the precise area thereof or the specific location of the “Common Areas,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.3, below, or the elements thereof or of the accessways to the Premises or the “Project,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.2, below. Except as specifically set forth in this Lease and in the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Work Letter”), Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement work or services related to the improvement of the Premises. Tenant also acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises, the Building or the Project or with respect to the suitability of any of the foregoing for the conduct of Tenant’s business, except as specifically set forth in this Lease and the Work Letter.

1.1.2 The Building and The Project. The Premises are a part of the building set forth in Section 2.1 of the Summary (the “Building”). The Building is located on a legal parcel of land described on Exhibit A-2 (the “Property”). The Property is operated as part of an office project known as “Swift Plaza” which includes four office buildings and a parking structure. The term “Project,” as used in this Lease, shall mean (i) the Building, (ii) the Property, (iii) the adjacent properties included in the Project, which are owned by others, and which are 1755 Grant Street, 2000 Clayton Road and 2001 Clayton Road and the five-level parking structure commonly known as 1575 Grant Street, and (iv) at Landlord’s discretion, any additional real property, areas, land, buildings or other improvements added thereto. The Project is subject to a recorded Reciprocal Easements, Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions Agreement as amended (the “CC&Rs”) which governs the operation of the exterior common areas, certain mechanical systems and the parking structure. Swift Realty Partners, LLC is currently the Project Manager and Garage Operator under the CC&Rs.

1.1.3 Common Areas. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use in common with other tenants in the Building or the Project, and subject to the rules and regulations referred to in Article 5 of this Lease, those portions of the Building, the Property and the Project which are provided, from time to time, for use in common by Landlord, Tenant

 

     1655 Grant Street

and any other tenants of Building or the Project (such areas, together with such other portions of the Project designated by Landlord, in its discretion, including certain areas designated for the exclusive use of certain tenants (provided such use does not materially and adversely impact Tenant’s access to or Permitted Use of the Premises or the shared common areas), or to be shared by Landlord and certain tenants, are collectively referred to herein as the “Common Areas”). The Common Areas shall consist of the “Project Common Areas” and the “Building Common Areas,” all of which shall be operated in manner consistent with other Class A office buildings in the Concord BART Submarket.

The term “Building Common Areas,” as used in this Lease, shall mean the portions of the Building designated as common areas by Landlord. The manner in which the Building Common Areas are maintained and operated shall be at the sole discretion of Landlord and the use thereof shall be subject to such rules, regulations and restrictions as Landlord may make from time to time, provided that such rules, regulations and restrictions do not unreasonably interfere with the rights granted to Tenant under this Lease and the permitted use granted under Article 5, below. Landlord reserves the right to close temporarily, make alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of the Building and the Common Areas; provided that no such changes shall be permitted which materially reduce Tenant’s rights or access hereunder. Tenant shall have the right of access to the Premises, the Building, the Property and, subject to TCCs of Article 28, the Garage twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week during the “Lease Term,” as that term is defined in Article 2.

2.2 Option Term(s).

2.2.1 Option Right. Landlord hereby grants the originally named Tenant and its Permitted Transferees, as that term is set forth in Section 14.6 of this Lease, two (2) options to extend the Lease Term for the entire Premises each by a period of five (5) years (each, an “Option Term”). Such option shall be exercisable only by Notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord as provided below, provided that, as of the date of delivery of such Notice, (i) Tenant is not then in default under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods), (ii) Tenant has not been in monetary or any other material default under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods) more than once during the prior twelve (12) month period, and (iii) Tenant has not been in monetary or any other material default under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods) more than three (3) times during the Lease Term. Upon the proper exercise of such option to extend, and provided that, as of the end of the then applicable Lease Term, (A) Tenant is not in default under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods), (B) Tenant has not been in monetary or any other material default under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods) more than once during the prior twelve (12) month period, and (C) Tenant has not been in monetary or any other material default under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods) more than three (3) times during the Lease Term, then the Lease Term, as it applies to the entire Premises, shall be extended for a period of five (5) years. The rights contained in this Section 2.2 shall only be exercised by the originally named Tenant or its Permitted Transferee (and not any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the originally named Tenant’s interest in this Lease).

2.2.2 Option Rent. The Rent payable by Tenant during the Option Term (the “Option Rent”) shall be equal to the Market Rent as set forth below. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Market Rent” shall mean rent (including additional rent, and considering (x) any “base year” or “expense stop” applicable thereto, as well as (y) the inclusion of any utility expenses as a part thereof), including all escalations, at which tenants, as of the commencement of the applicable term are, pursuant to transactions completed within the twenty-four (24) months prior to the first day of the applicable Option Term, leasing non-sublease, non-encumbered, non-synthetic, non-equity space (unless such space was leased pursuant to a definition of “fair market” comparable to the definition of Market Rent) comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises for a “Comparable Term,” as that term is defined in this Section 2.2.2 (the “Comparable Deals”), which comparable space is located in the “Comparable Buildings,” as that term is defined in this Section 2.2.2, giving appropriate consideration to the annual rental rates per rentable square foot, the standard of measurement by which the rentable square footage is measured, the ratio of rentable square feet to usable square feet, and taking into consideration only, and granting only, the following concessions (provided that the rent payable in Comparable Deals in which the terms of such Comparable Deals are determined by use of a discounted fair market rate formula shall be equitably increased in order that such Comparable Deals will not reflect a discounted rate) (collectively, the “Rent Concessions”): (a) rental abatement concessions or build-out periods, if any, being granted such tenants in connection with such comparable spaces; (b) improvements or allowances provided or to be provided for such comparable space, taking into account the value of the existing improvements in the Premises, such value to be based upon the age, quality and layout of the improvements and the extent to which the same could be utilized by general office users as contrasted with this specific Tenant, and (c) all other monetary concessions, if any, being granted such tenants in connection with

 

     1655 Grant Street
      Genworth Financial Wealth Management, Inc.

-3-


such comparable space; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no consideration shall be given to the fact that Landlord is or is not required to pay a real estate brokerage commission in connection with the applicable term or the fact that the Comparable Deals do or do not involve the payment of real estate brokerage commissions. The term “Comparable Term” shall refer to the length of the lease term, without consideration of options to extend such term, for the space in question. If in determining the Market Rent, Tenant is entitled to a improvement or comparable allowance for the improvement of the Premises (the “Option Term Improvement Allowance”), Landlord may, at Landlord’s sole option, elect any or a portion of the following: (A) to grant some or all of the Option Term Improvement Allowance to Tenant in the form as described above (i.e., as an improvement allowance), and/or (B) to reduce the rental rate component of the Market Rent to be an effective rental rate which takes into consideration that Tenant will not receive the total dollar value of such excess Option Term Improvement Allowance (in which case the Option Term Improvement Allowance evidenced in the effective rental rate shall not be granted to Tenant). The term “Comparable Buildings” shall mean the Building and other first-class institutionally-owned office buildings which are comparable to the Building in terms of age (based upon the date of completion of construction or major renovation as to the building containing the portion of the Premises in question), quality of construction, level of services and amenities (including the type (e.g., surface, covered, subterranean) and amount of parking), size and appearance, and are located in the “Comparable Area,” which is the “Concord BART Submarket” (defined below) in the East Bay portion of the San Francisco Bay Area. The “Concord BART Submarket” in the East Bay portion of the San Francisco Bay Area shall be the area containing Comparable Buildings having reasonably comparable access to the Bay Area Rapid Transit (“BART”) system as well as reasonably comparable freeway access as the Project, and located within the City of Concord.

2.2.3 Exercise of Option. The option contained in this Section 2.2 shall be exercised by Tenant, if at all, only in the manner set forth in this Section 2.2.3. Tenant shall deliver notice (the “Exercise Notice”) to Landlord not more than fifteen (15) months nor less than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then Lease Term, stating that Tenant is exercising its option. Landlord shall then deliver notice (the “Landlord Response Notice”) to Tenant on or before the date which is thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Exercise Notice, which Landlord Response Notice shall contain Landlord’s calculation of the Market Rent (the “Landlord’s Option Rent Calculation”). Tenant shall deliver notice (the “Tenant Response Notice”) to Landlord on or before the date which is fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Landlord Response Notice and Landlord’s Option Rent Calculation, stating that Tenant is (A) accepting Landlord’s Option Rent Calculation as the Market Rent, (B) rejecting Landlord’s Option Rent Calculation and setting forth Tenant’s calculation of the Market Rent so as to proceed with the process of extending the Lease Term (the “Tenant’s Option Rent Calculation”), or (C) withdrawing and rescinding its Exercise Notice. If Tenant does not timely respond within such fifteen (15) day period, Landlord may send a second notice, including a prominently displayed, conspicuous caption stating that Tenant’s failure to respond within five (5) business days shall be deemed to constitute Tenant’s acceptance of Landlord’s Option Rent Calculation. If following such second notice, Tenant fails to respond within such five (5) business day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted Landlord’s Option Rent Calculation. If Tenant timely sends notice of its election to withdraw its Exercise Notice

 

     1655 Grant Street
      Genworth Financial Wealth Management, Inc.

-4-


pursuant to clause (C) above, such Exercise Notice shall be rescinded without liability or obligation; provided, however, if Tenant does not timely withdraw its Exercise Notice pursuant to clause (C), such Exercise Notice from Tenant shall be irrevocable and the parties will proceed in accordance with the TCCs of this Section 2.2. Within ten (10) business days of its receipt of the Tenant Response Notice and Tenant Option Rent Calculation, Landlord may, at its option, accept the Market Rent contained in the Tenant’s Option Rent Calculation. If Landlord does not affirmatively accept or Landlord rejects the Market Rent specified in the Tenant’s Option Rent Calculation, the parties shall follow the procedure, and the Market Rent shall be determined as set forth in Section 2.2.4.

2.2.4 Determination of Market Rent. In the event Landlord rejects or is deemed to have rejected the Market Rent contained in Tenant’s Option Rent Calculation, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon the Market Rent using reasonable good-faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s rejection or deemed rejection of the Tenant’s Option Rent Calculation (the “Outside Agreement Date”), then, within two (2) business days following such Outside Agreement Date, (x) Tenant may reestablish the Tenant’s Option Rent Calculation by delivering written notice thereof to Landlord, and (y) Landlord may reestablish the Landlord’s Option Rent Calculation by delivering written notice thereof to Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant thereafter fail to reach agreement within seven (7) business days of the Outside Agreement Date, then in connection with the Option Rent, Landlord’s Option Rent Calculation and Tenant’s Option Rent Calculation, each as most recently delivered to the other party pursuant to the TCCs of this Section 2.2, shall be submitted to the “Neutral Arbitrator,” as that term is defined in Section 2.2.4.1 of this Lease, pursuant to the TCCs of this Section 2.2.4. The submittals shall be made concurrently with the selection of the Neutral Arbitrator pursuant to this Section 2.2.4 and shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Section 2.2.4.1 through 2.2.4.5 of this Lease, but subject to the conditions, when appropriate, of Section 2.2.3.

2.2.4.1 Landlord and Tenant shall mutually, reasonably appoint one (1) arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker or appraiser who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing or the appraisal of (as the case may be) of first-class commercial office properties in the Comparable Area (the “Neutral Arbitrator”).

2.2.4.3 The Award issued by such Neutral Arbitrator shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

2.2.4.4 If Landlord and Tenant fail to appoint the Neutral Arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the applicable Outside Agreement Date, either party may petition the presiding judge of the Superior Court of Contra Costa County to appoint such Neutral Arbitrator subject to the criteria in Section 2.2.4.1 of this Lease, or if he or she refuses to act, either party may petition any judge having jurisdiction over the parties to appoint such Neutral Arbitrator.

2.2.4.5 The cost of arbitration shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally.

2.3 Option to Early Terminate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant shall have the right, which may be exercised in its sole and absolute discretion (but once exercised as provided below shall be binding and irrevocable), to terminate the Lease Term under this Lease, effective as of the last day of the seventieth (70th) month after the Lease Commencement Date (such early termination date, the “Early Termination Date”) by providing written notice (the “Early Termination Notice”) to Landlord on or before the last day of the sixty-first (61st) month after the Lease Commencement Date. The Termination Notice must be accompanied by a termination payment (“Termination Fee”) equal to $1,000,000.00.

Landlord acknowledges that, pursuant to that certain Lease, dated October 18th, 1999, as amended from time to time, between Pleasant Hill Holdings, Inc., as landlord, and Tenant, as successor in interest to AssetMark Investment Services, Inc., as tenant, Tenant may become subject to monthly incremental holdover rent, i.e., the amount in excess of Tenant’s current monthly rent under such lease (“Incremental Holdover Rent”), in the event that Tenant does not vacate the premises under such lease prior to September 30, 2013. In the event that the Premises are not Ready For Occupancy on or prior to September 1, 2013 (provided that such date shall be extended on a day-for-day basis by any delays caused by or arising out of the matters described in Sections 5.2.1-5.2.7 of the Work Letter or Force Majeure events), upon delivery by Tenant to Landlord of satisfactory documentation, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit against Tenant’s future Base Rent obligations under this Lease in an amount equal to the Incremental Holdover Rent actually paid by Tenant for the period between September 30, 2013, and the date on which the Premises are Ready For Occupancy; provided that such credit shall be subject to a maximum of $50,000 per month of Incremental Holdover Rent.

ARTICLE 3

BASE RENT

Tenant shall pay, without prior notice or demand, to Landlord or Landlord’s agent at the management office of the Building, or, at Landlord’s option, at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, by a check or electronic funds transfer for currency which, at the time of payment, is legal tender for private or public debts in the United States of America, base rent (“Base Rent”) as set forth in Section 4 of the Summary, payable in equal monthly installments as set forth in Section 4 of the Summary in advance on or before the first day of each and every calendar month during the Lease Term, without any setoff or deduction whatsoever. The Base Rent for the first full month of the Lease Term which occurs after the expiration of any free rent period shall be paid on or prior to the Lease Commencement Date. If any payment of Base Rent is for a period which is shorter than one month, the Base Rent for any such fractional month shall accrue on a daily basis during such fractional month and shall total an amount equal to the product of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such fractional month and the denominator of which is the actual number of days occurring in such calendar month, and (ii) the then-applicable Monthly Installment of Base Rent. All other payments or adjustments required to be made under the TCCs of this Lease that require proration on a time basis shall be prorated on the same basis.

ARTICLE 4

ADDITIONAL RENT

4.1 In General. In addition to paying the Base Rent specified in Article 3 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay “Tenant’s Share” of the annual “Direct Expenses,” as those terms are defined in Sections 1.1.6 and 1.1.2, respectively, of Exhibit C attached to this Lease, which are in excess of the amount of Direct Expenses applicable to the “Base Year,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.1 of Exhibit C; provided, however, that in no event shall any decrease in Direct Expenses for any Expense Year below Direct Expenses for the Base Year entitle Tenant to any decrease in Base Rent or any credit against sums due under this Lease. Such payments by Tenant, together with any and all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the TCCs of this Lease, other than payments of Base Rent, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Additional Rent,” and the Base Rent and the Additional Rent are herein collectively referred to as “Rent.” All amounts due under this Article 4 and Exhibit C as Additional Rent shall be payable for the same periods and in the same manner as the Base Rent; provided, however, the parties hereby acknowledge that the first monthly installment of Tenant’s Share of any “Estimated Excess,” as that term is set forth in, and pursuant to the terms and conditions of, Section 1.3.2 of Exhibit C, shall first be due and payable for the calendar month occurring immediately following the expiration of the Base Year. Without limitation on other obligations of Tenant which survive the expiration of the Lease Term, the obligations of Tenant to pay the Additional Rent provided for in this Article 4 and Exhibit C shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term.

4.2 Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible.

4.2.1 Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay prior to delinquency, taxes levied against Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property located in or about the Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such equipment, furniture, fixtures or any other personal property and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment, as the case may be.

4.2.2 If the improvements in the Premises (other than those installed by Landlord pursuant to the Lease and/or Work Letter), whether installed and/or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which improvements conforming to Landlord’s “building standard” in other space in the Building are assessed, then the Tax Expenses levied against Landlord or the property by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.2.1, above.

4.2.3 Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency any (i) rent tax or sales tax, service tax, transfer tax or value added tax, or any other applicable tax on the rent or services herein or otherwise respecting this Lease, (ii) taxes assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Project, including the Garage; or (iii) taxes assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.

4.3 Landlord’s Books and Records. Upon Tenant’s written request given not more than ninety (90) days after Tenant’s receipt of a Statement for a particular Expense Year, and provided that Tenant is not then in default under this Lease beyond any applicable cure period provided in this Lease, specifically including, but not limited to, the timely payment of Additional Rent (whether or not the same is subject of the dispute), Landlord shall furnish Tenant with such reasonable supporting documentation in connection with said Direct Expenses as Tenant may reasonably request. Landlord shall provide said information to Tenant within sixty (60) days after Tenant’s written request therefor. Within two hundred forty (240) days after receipt of a Statement by Tenant (the “Review Period”), if Tenant disputes the amount of Additional Rent set forth in the Statement, an employee of Tenant or its affiliate, or a third party providing lease administration services (which is not working on a contingency fee basis) or an independent certified public accountant (which accountant (A) is a member of a nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm which has previous experience in reviewing financial operating records of landlords of office buildings, (B) shall not already be providing primary

accounting and/or lease administration services to Tenant and shall not have provided primary accounting and/or lease administration services to Tenant in the past three (3) years, (C) is not working on a contingency fee basis [i.e., Tenant must be billed based on the actual time and materials that are incurred by the accounting firm in the performance of the audit], and (D) shall not currently or in the future be providing accounting and/or lease administration services to another tenant in the Building and/or the Project in connection with a review or audit by such other tenant of Direct Expenses) designated and paid for by Tenant, may, after reasonable notice to Landlord and at reasonable times, inspect Landlord’s records with respect to the Statement at Landlord’s corporate offices, provided that (i) Tenant is not then in default under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods), (ii) Tenant has paid all amounts required to be paid under the applicable Estimate Statement and Statement, as the case may be, and (iii) , unless an employee of Tenant is performing the audit, a copy of the audit agreement between Tenant and its particular auditor has been delivered to Landlord prior to the commencement of the audit. In connection with any such inspection, Tenant and Tenant’s agents must agree in advance to follow Landlord’s reasonable rules and procedures regarding inspections of Landlord’s records, and shall execute a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement regarding such inspection. At the request of Tenant, such auditor shall be provided office space to perform such audit and shall be permitted to make copies of relevant documents (subject to commercially reasonable requirements to ensure the preserved confidentiality of any audited materials, including without limitation the requirement that all such copies be returned to Landlord or destroyed). Any audit report prepared by Tenant’s auditors shall be delivered concurrently to Landlord and Tenant within the two hundred forty (240) day period referenced above. Excepting the Base Year Statement, Tenant’s failure to dispute the amount of Additional Rent set forth in any Statement within the Review Period shall be deemed to be Tenant’s approval of such Statement and Tenant, thereafter, waives the right or ability to dispute the amounts set forth in such Statement. If after such inspection, Tenant still disputes such Additional Rent, a determination as to the proper amount shall be made, at Tenant’s expense, by an independent certified public accountant (the “Accountant”) selected by Landlord and subject to Tenant’s reasonable approval; provided that if such determination by the Accountant proves that Direct Expenses for the applicable Expense Year were overstated by more than five percent (5%), then the cost of the Accountant and any other out-of-pocket, third-party Tenant costs of such determination shall be paid for by Landlord. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant’s sole right to inspect Landlord’s books and records and to contest the amount of Direct Expenses payable by Tenant shall be as set forth in this Section 4.3, and Tenant hereby waives any and all other rights pursuant to applicable law to inspect such books and records and/or to contest the amount of Direct Expenses payable by Tenant.

ARTICLE 5

allow occupancy density of use of the Premises which is greater than the seven (7) persons per 1,000 rentable square feet of space located in the Premises or which would exceed any maximum densities permitted by applicable law or governmental authority. Tenant covenants and agrees that it shall not use, or suffer or permit any person or persons to use, the Premises or any part thereof for any use or purpose contrary to the rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord from time to time (“Rules and Regulations”), the current set of which (as of the date of this Lease) is attached to this Lease as Exhibit D; or in violation of the laws of the United States of America, the State of California, or the ordinances, regulations or requirements of the local municipal or county governing body or other lawful authorities having jurisdiction over the Building, or in a manner otherwise inconsistent with the character of the Building as a first-class office building. Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall comply with all recorded covenants, conditions, and restrictions currently affecting the Project including the CC&Rs. Additionally, Tenant acknowledges that the Project may be subject to any future CC&Rs which Landlord, in Landlord’s discretion, deems reasonably necessary or desirable, and which do not violate the terms of this Lease or its Permitted Use, and Tenant agrees that this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to such CC&Rs and Tenant shall promptly recognize such CC&Rs by executing a commercially reasonable form of recognition.

5.2 CAP Process. Tenant acknowledges that during the Lease Term, Bank of America, National Association (the “Bank”) will be conducting operations critical to the Bank’s business within portions of the Property as shown on Exhibit I hereto (such portions, as the same may be modified from time to time by written notice from Landlord to Tenant, the “Critical Environments”). Tenant agrees that it will not perform, or allow any utility provider, vendor, or other third party to perform, any “Alterations” as that term is defined in Section 8.1, below, or any construction, repair, maintenance, testing, or other work that requires entry into the Critical Environments, or that could potentially impact or interrupt the Bank’s operations within the Critical Environments (e.g., outdoor activities that produce vibration (such as jack hammering), airborne particulates, or the release of water) (collectively, “CEWA Work”) unless it complies with and causes the utility providers, vendors, and other third parties performing the CEWA Work to comply with, the Bank’s Critical Awareness Process (“CAP Process”), as set forth in the Bank’s Critical Awareness Learning Guide (the “Handbook”). Tenant hereby acknowledges receipt of the current Handbook. Landlord shall notify Tenant of any changes to the Handbook and/or the CAP Process after the Lease Commencement Date, which changes shall not materially affect Tenant’s obligations under the CAP Process existing as of the date of this Lease. Landlord shall coordinate communications between Tenant and the Bank regarding the CAP Process. Bank may pay certain costs incurred by Tenant in implementing the CAP Process. Landlord will use good faith efforts to coordinate the Bank’s payment of Tenant’s implementation costs, but will have no liability for Tenant’s costs of compliance with the CAP Process. Tenant also agrees to obtain the prior written consent of Landlord to such CEWA Work, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord, provided that it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any CEWA Work that may result in Landlord being in breach or default under the Bank’s lease.

6.2 Overstandard Tenant Use. Excepting those improvements described in the Work Letter, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, use heat-generating machines, machines other than normal office machines, or equipment or lighting other than Building standard lights in the Premises, which may affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the air conditioning system or increase the water normally furnished for the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1 of this Lease. If such consent is given, Landlord shall have the right, at the time of consent, to require installation of supplementary air conditioning units or other facilities in the Premises, including supplementary or additional metering devices, and the cost thereof, including the cost of installation, operation and maintenance, increased wear and tear on existing equipment and other similar charges, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon billing by Landlord.

6.3 Interruption of Use. Tenant agrees that, except to the extent caused by Landlord’s or Landlord’s agents’, contractors’ or employees’ negligence or willful misconduct, Landlord shall not be liable for damages, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service (including telephone and telecommunication services), or for any diminution in the quality or quantity thereof, when such failure or delay or diminution is occasioned, in whole or in part, by breakage, repairs, replacements, or improvements, by any strike, lockout or other labor trouble, by inability to secure electricity, gas, water, or other fuel at the Building, Property or Project after reasonable effort to do so, by any riot or other dangerous condition, emergency, accident or casualty whatsoever, by act or default of Tenant or other parties, or by any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control; and such failures or delays or diminution shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease; provided however, that if such interruption of service is the result of Landlord’s or Landlord’s agents’, contractors’ or employees’ negligence or willful misconduct, and if such interruption of service makes the Premises or any material portion thereof unsuitable for occupancy or Tenant’s Permitted Use, Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Rent, during the time and to the extent the Premises are unsuitable, and not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof, and additionally, if such interruption of service makes the Premises unfit for the Permitted Use for a period continuing for one hundred eighty (180) days, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days thereafter. Furthermore, Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for a loss of, or injury to, property or for injury to, or interference with, Tenant’s business, including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to a failure to furnish any of the services or utilities as set forth in this Article 6.

Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense, keep the Premises, including all improvements, fixtures, equipment, window coverings, and furnishings therein, in good order, repair and condition at all times during the Lease Term. In addition, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s own expense, but under the supervision and subject to the prior approval of Landlord, and within any reasonable period of time specified by Landlord, promptly and adequately repair all damage to the Premises and repair all damaged, broken, or worn fixtures and appurtenances, except for damage caused by ordinary wear and tear, or beyond the reasonable control of Tenant; provided however, that, at Landlord’s option, or if Tenant fails to make such repairs, Landlord may, after written notice to Tenant and Tenant’s failure to repair or commence and diligently proceed to repair within ten (10) days thereafter, but need not, make such repairs and replacements, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof, including a percentage of the cost thereof (to be uniformly established for the Building and not to exceed seven percent (7%)) sufficient to reimburse Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs or expenses arising from Landlord’s involvement with such repairs and replacements forthwith upon being billed for same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be responsible for (i) maintaining the Building Common Areas in a manner consistent with the character of the Building as a first-class office building, and (ii) repairs to the exterior windows, walls, floor slabs, foundation and roof of the Building, the structural portions of the floors of the Building, and the systems and equipment including without limitation (except as expressly provided to the contrary herein) all mechanical, electrical, plumbing and HVAC of the Building, except to the extent that such repairs are required due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant; provided, however, that if such repairs are due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, Landlord shall nevertheless make such repairs at Tenant’s expense, or, if covered by Landlord’s insurance, Tenant shall only be obligated to pay any deductible in connection therewith. Landlord may, but shall not be required to, enter the Premises at all reasonable times to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the Building or to any equipment located in the Building as Landlord shall desire or deem necessary or as Landlord may be required to do by governmental or quasi-governmental authority or court order or decree; provided, however, except for (i) emergencies, (ii) repairs, alterations, improvements or additions required by governmental or quasi-governmental authorities or court order or decree, or (iii) repairs which are the obligation of Tenant hereunder, any such entry into the Premises by Landlord shall be performed in a manner so as not to materially interfere with Tenant’s use of, or access to, the Premises; provided that, with respect to items (ii) and (iii) above, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide reasonable notice and to not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of, or access to, the Premises. If Landlord fails to make such repair, Tenant may, after written notice to Landlord and Landlord’s failure to repair or commence to repair within ten (10) business days thereafter, but need not, make such repairs and replacements, and Landlord shall pay Tenant the cost thereof upon being billed for same. If Landlord’s failure to perform such required repair makes the Premises unfit for the Permitted Use for a period continuing for one hundred eighty (180) days beyond notice to Landlord, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days thereafter. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights under and benefits of subsection 1 of Section 1932 and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code or under any similar law, statute, or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.

ARTICLE 8

ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS

8.1 Landlord’s Consent to Alterations. With the exception of cosmetic alterations totaling less than ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) per instance, and which do not impact any mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, structural or building facilities or systems, Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises or any mechanical, plumbing or HVAC facilities or systems in the Building pertaining to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than fifteen (15) business days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord, provided it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any Alteration which may result in Landlord being in breach or default under the Bank’s lease, or may adversely affect the structural portions or the systems or equipment of the Building, or is visible from the exterior of the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted to make Alterations following ten (10) business days notice to Landlord, but without Landlord’s prior consent, to the extent that such Alterations do not (i) adversely affect the systems and equipment of the Building, exterior appearance of the Building, or structural aspects of the Building; (ii) adversely affect the value of the Premises or Building; or (iii) constitute CEWA Work as defined in Section 5.2 of the Lease (the “Cosmetic Alterations”). The construction of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8. Landlord may impose, as a condition of its consent (to the extent such consent is required hereunder) to any and all Alterations or repairs of the Premises or about the Premises, such requirements as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the requirement that Tenant utilize for such purposes only contractors reasonably approved by Landlord. If Landlord shall give its consent, the consent shall be deemed conditioned upon Tenant acquiring a permit to do the work from appropriate governmental agencies, the furnishing of a copy of such permit to Landlord prior to the commencement of the work, and the compliance by Tenant with all conditions of said permit in a prompt and expeditious manner. If such Alterations will involve the use of or disturb hazardous materials or substances existing in the Premises, Tenant shall comply with Landlord’s rules and regulations concerning such hazardous materials or substances. Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform such repairs in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformance with any and all applicable federal, state, county or municipal laws, rules and regulations and pursuant to a valid building permit, issued by the City of Concord, all in conformance with Landlord’s construction rules and regulations. In the event Tenant performs any Alterations in the Premises which require or give rise to governmentally required changes to the “Base Building,” as that term is defined below, then Landlord shall, at Tenant’s expense, make such changes to the Base Building. The “Base Building” shall include the structural portions of the Building, and the public restrooms, elevators, exit stairwells and the systems and equipment, including without limitation all mechanical, electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems and equipment, located in the internal core of the Building on the floor or floors on which the Premises are located. In performing the work of any such Alterations, Tenant shall have the work performed in such manner so as not to obstruct access to the Project or any portion thereof, by any other tenant of the Project, and so as not to obstruct the business of Landlord or other

tenants in the Project. In addition to Tenant’s obligations under Article 9 of this Lease, upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant agrees to cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the County of Contra Costa in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, and as a condition precedent to the enforceability and validity of Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall deliver to the management office for the Project a reproducible copy of the “as built” and CAD drawings of the Alterations, to the extent applicable, as well as all permits, approvals and other documents issued by any governmental agency in connection with the Alterations.

8.2 Payment for Improvements. If payment is made directly to contractors, Tenant shall (i) comply with Landlord’s requirements for final lien releases and waivers in connection with Tenant’s payment for work to contractors, and (ii) sign Landlord’s standard contractor’s rules and regulations. If Tenant orders any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to four percent (4%) of the cost of such work to compensate Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses arising from Landlord’s involvement with such work. If Tenant does not order any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable, actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with Landlord’s review of such work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.2 shall not apply to Landlord’s work as contemplated in the Work Letter (including any repair of elements therof by Landlord to the extent provided in the Work Letter), and only the first sentence of this Section 8.2 shall apply to any Tenant’s improvements, Alterations or work conducted prior to the Lease Commencement Date.

8.3 Construction Insurance. In addition to the requirements of Article 10 of this Lease, in the event that Tenant makes any Alterations, prior to the commencement of such Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence that Tenant carries “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount reasonably approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, it being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 10 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof.

8.4 Landlord’s Property. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) all Alterations, improvements, fixtures, equipment and/or appurtenances which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises (excluding Tenant’s removable trade fixtures, personal property, furniture or non-affixed office equipment), from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant (except as otherwise provided in the Work Letter) and shall be and become part of the Premises and the property of Landlord, and (ii) the Improvements to be constructed in the Premises pursuant to the TCCs of the Work Letter shall, upon completion of the same, be and become a part of the Premises and the property of Landlord. For any improvements or Alterations other than those contemplated in the Work Letter, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant given prior to or at the time of Landlord’s consent or notice of the same, require Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to remove any Alterations or improvements in the Premises, and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and return the affected portion of the Premises to a building standard improved condition as determined by Landlord. If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any Alterations or improvements in the Premises, and return the affected portion of the Premises to a

building standard improved condition as determined by Landlord, then Landlord may do so and may charge the cost thereof to Tenant. Tenant hereby protects, defends, indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any liability, cost, obligation, expense or claim of lien in any manner relating to the installation, placement, removal or financing of any such Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises, which obligations of Tenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 9

COVENANT AGAINST LIENS

Tenant shall keep the Premises and Property free from any liens or encumbrances arising out of the work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant, and shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, judgments or costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of same or in connection therewith. Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance by bond or otherwise within five (5) business days after notice by Landlord, and if Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may pay the amount necessary to remove such lien or encumbrance, without being responsible for investigating the validity thereof. The amount so paid shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease payable upon demand, without limitation as to other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Notwithstanding any such payment or removal by Landlord, Tenant shall have the right but not the obligation to contest any such lien, and if Tenant’s contest ultimately results in any portion of Landlord’s payment being refunded to Landlord, to the extent that Tenant has already paid the Additional Rent to Landlord on account of such amount, Landlord shall pay over such amount to Tenant.

ARTICLE 10

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

10.1 Indemnification and Waiver. Except to the extent of the negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord or the “Landlord Parties” (as that term is defined below), Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in, upon or about the Premises from any cause whatsoever and agrees that Landlord, its members, managers, partners, subpartners and their respective owners, investors, principals, officers, agents, servants, employees, and independent contractors (collectively, “Landlord Parties”) shall not be liable for, and are hereby released from any responsibility for, any damage either to person or property or resulting from the loss of use thereof, which damage is sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant. Other than to the extent arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord or the Landlord Parties, Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with or arising from: (a) any causes in, on or about the Premises or the Project; (b) the use or occupancy of the Premises or the Project by Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant; (c) any activity, work, or thing done, or permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises or the Project; (d) any acts, omission, or negligence of Tenant or any person claiming

under Tenant, or its members, managers, partners, subpartners and their respective owners, investors, principals, officers, agents, servants, employees, contractors, invitees, or visitors (collectively, “Tenant Parties”); (e) any breach, violation, or non-performance by Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant or the employees, agents, contractors, invitees, or visitors of Tenant or any such person of any term, covenant, or provision of this Lease or any law, ordinance, or governmental requirement of any kind; (f) any injury or damage to the person, property, or business of Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors, invitees, visitors, or any other person entering upon the Premises or the Project under the express or implied invitation of Tenant; or (g) the placement by any Tenant Parties of any personal property or other items within the Premises or the Project. Landlord shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the Tenant Parties from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred as a result of Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Should Landlord be named as a defendant in any suit brought against Tenant in connection with or arising out of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises or use of the Project, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its costs and expenses incurred in such suit, including without limitation, its actual professional fees such as appraisers’, accountants’ and attorneys’ fees. Further, the parties’ agreements to indemnify each other pursuant to this Section 10.1 are not intended and shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be carried by either party pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, to the extent such policies cover the matters subject to such party’s indemnification obligations; nor shall they supersede any inconsistent agreement of the parties set forth in any other provision of this Lease. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability arising in connection with any event occurring prior to such expiration or termination.

10.2 Tenant’s Compliance With Landlord’s Fire and Casualty Insurance. Tenant shall, to the extent Tenant is made aware, and at Tenant’s expense, comply with Landlord’s insurance company requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises (which requirements shall not prohibit the Permitted Use). If Tenant’s conduct or use of the Premises causes any increase in the premium for such insurance policies then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such increase. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations or requirements of the American Insurance Association (formerly the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and with any similar body.

10.3 Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant shall maintain the following coverages in the following amounts. The required evidence of coverage must be delivered to Landlord on or before the date required under Section 10.4(I) sub-sections (x) and (y), or Section 10.4(II) below (as applicable). Such policies shall be for a term of at least one (1) year, or the length of the remaining term of this Lease, whichever is less.

10.3.1 Commercial General Liability Insurance, including Broad Form contractual liability covering the insured against claims of bodily injury, personal injury and property damage (including loss of use thereof) based upon or arising out of Tenant’s operations, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be written on an “occurrence” basis. Landlord and any other party the Landlord so specifies that has a material financial interest in the Project, including Landlord’s managing

agent, ground lessor and/or lender, if any, shall be named as additional insureds as their interests may appear using Insurance Service Organization’s form CG2011 or a comparable form approved by Landlord. Tenant shall provide an endorsement or policy excerpt showing that Tenant’s coverage is primary with respect to the Premises except in the case of an insured loss resulting from Landlord’s negligence, in which case Landlord’s insurance shall be primary (without imposing any liability or obligation on Landlord in the event that Landlord’s insurance does not cover such loss), or as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease. With respect to any primary coverage by Tenant, any insurance carried by Landlord shall be excess and non-contributing. The coverage shall also be extended to include damage caused by heat, smoke or fumes from a hostile fire. The policy shall not contain any intra-insured exclusions as between insured persons or organizations. This policy shall include coverage for all liabilities assumed under this Lease as an insured contract for the performance of all of Tenant’s indemnity obligations under this Lease. The limits of said insurance shall not, however, limit the liability of Tenant nor relieve Tenant of any obligation hereunder. Limits of liability insurance shall not be less than the following; provided, however, such limits may be achieved through the use of an Umbrella/Excess Policy:

 

Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability    $3,000,000 each occurrence
Personal Injury and Advertising Liability    $3,000,000 each occurrence

10.3.2 Property Insurance covering (i) all office furniture, personal property, business and trade fixtures, office equipment, free-standing cabinet work, movable partitions, merchandise and all other items of Tenant’s business personal property on the Premises installed by, for, or at the expense of Tenant, (ii) the Tenant Improvements and any other improvements existing in the Premises as of the date of this Lease (excluding the Base Building), and (iii) all Alterations performed in the Premises. Such insurance shall be written on a Special Form basis, for the full replacement cost value (subject to reasonable deductible amounts), without deduction for depreciation of the covered items and in amounts that meet any co-insurance clauses of the policies of insurance and shall include coverage for (a) all perils included in the CP 10 30 04 02 Coverage Special Form, (b) water damage from any cause whatsoever, including, but not limited to, backup or overflow from sprinkler leakage, bursting, leaking or stoppage of any pipes, explosion, and backup of sewers and drainage, and (c) terrorism (to the extent such terrorism insurance is available as a result of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-297, 116 Stat. 2322), the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2005 (Pub. 1. 109-144), and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-160, 121 Stat. 183), any successor statute or regulation, or is otherwise available at commercially reasonable rates).

10.3.5 Adjacent Premises. Tenant shall pay for any increase in the premiums for the property insurance of the Building if said increase is caused by Tenant’s acts, omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises other than as permitted by the TCCs of this Lease.

10.3.6 Property Damage. Tenant may, but shall not be obligated to (without prejudice to the provisions of Article 7), use the proceeds from any such insurance for the replacement of personal property, trade fixtures and Alterations.

10.3.7 No representation of Adequate Coverage. Landlord makes no representation that the limits or forms of coverage of insurance specified herein are adequate to cover Tenant’s property, business operations or obligations under this Lease.

10.3.8 Property Insurance Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant intend that their respective property loss risks shall be borne by insurance carriers to the extent herein provided, and Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to look solely to, and seek recovery only from, their respective insurance carriers in the event of a property loss to the extent that such coverage is agreed to be provided hereunder. The parties each hereby waive all rights and claims against each other for such losses, and waive all rights of subrogation of their respective insurers. Landlord and Tenant hereby represent and warrant that their respective “all risk” property insurance policies include a waiver of (i) subrogation by the insurers, and (ii) all rights based upon an assignment from its insured, against Landlord and/or any of the Landlord Parties or Tenant and/or any of the Tenant Parties (as the case may be) in connection with any property loss risk thereby insured against. Tenant will cause all other occupants of the Premises claiming by, under, or through Tenant to execute and deliver to Landlord a waiver of claims similar to the waiver in this Section 10.3.3 and to obtain such waiver of subrogation rights endorsements. If either party hereto fails to maintain the waivers set forth in items (i) and (ii) above, the party not maintaining the requisite waivers shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the other party for, from and against any and all claims, losses, costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of, resulting from, or relating to, such failure.

10.4 Form of Policies. The minimum limits of policies of insurance required of Tenant and Landlord under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant or Landlord, respectively, under this Lease. Such insurance shall (i) be issued by an insurance company having an AM Best rating of not less than A-X or a Fitch rating of not less than AA, or which is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord and licensed to do business in the State of California, (ii) be in form and content reasonably acceptable to Landlord and complying with the requirements of Section 10.3 (including, Sections 10.3.1 through 10.3.5) with respect to Tenant or Section 10.7 with respect to Landlord, (iii) neither Tenant nor Landlord shall do or permit to be done anything which invalidates their respective required insurance policies, and (iv) provide that said insurance shall not be canceled or coverage changed unless thirty (30) days’ prior written notice shall have been given to Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord, the identity of whom has been provided to Tenant in writing. Tenant shall deliver said policy or policies or

certificates thereof and applicable endorsements which meet the requirements of this Article 10 to Landlord on or before (I) the earlier to occur of: (x) the Lease Commencement Date, and (y) the date Tenant and/or its employees, contractors and/or agents first enter the Premises for occupancy, construction of improvements, alterations, or any other move-in activities, and (II) five (5) business days after the renewal of such policies. In the event Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to deliver such policies or certificates and applicable endorsements, Landlord may, at its option, after written notice to Tenant and Tenant’s failure to obtain such insurance within five (5) days thereafter, procure such policies for the account of Tenant and the sole benefit of Landlord, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord after delivery to Tenant of bills therefor.

10.5 Additional Insurance Obligations. Tenant shall carry and maintain during the entire Lease Term, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, the amounts of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article 10 and such other commercially reasonable types of insurance coverage and in such commercially reasonable amounts covering the Premises and Tenant’s operations therein. Any additional insurance amounts may only be imposed by Landlord in connection with Tenant exercising an extension option under Section 2.2 of this Lease or ROFR under Section 29.33 of this Lease. Any and all insurance obligations shall be consistent with common market practices in the Concord BART Submarket.

10.6 Third-Party Contractors. Tenant shall obtain and deliver to Landlord, Third Party Contractor’s certificates of insurance and applicable endorsements at least seven (7) business days prior to the commencement of work in or about the Premises by any vendor or any other third-party contractor (collectively, a “Third Party Contractor”). All such insurance shall (a) name Landlord as an additional insured under such party’s liability policies as required by Section 10.3.1 above and this Section 10.6, (b) provide a waiver of subrogation in favor of Landlord under such Third Party Contractor’s commercial general liability insurance, (c) be primary and any insurance carried by Landlord shall be excess and non-contributing, and (d) comply with Landlord’s minimum insurance requirements.

10.7 Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord shall cause the Building Common Areas to be covered by a policy or policies of commercial general liability insurance and, to the extent that Landlord has any employees, workers compensation insurance, in such amounts as are customarily carried by reasonably prudent landlords of buildings similar to the Building or as may be required under the CC&Rs or by law. Additionally, Landlord shall maintain “all risk” property insurance on the Base Building in an amount equal to the full replacement value thereof, subject to Landlord’s deductable amount, provided however that Landlord may, but has no obligation to carry earthquake or business income insurance.

ARTICLE 11

DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

11.1 Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. If the Premises or any Building Common Areas serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty (collectively, a “Casualty”), Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable

      Genworth Financial Wealth Management, Inc.

-21-


control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 11, restore the base, shell and core of the Premises and such Common Areas. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the base, shell and core of the Premises and Building Common Areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Building, or any other modifications to the common areas deemed desirable by Landlord, provided access to the Premises and any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially impaired. Additionally, if any Casualty occurs with respect to the Garage, Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the owner of the Garage to restore such damage. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance required to be carried under Section 10.3.2(ii) and 10.3.2(iii) of this Lease, and Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the improvements installed in the Premises and shall return such improvements to their original condition; provided that if the cost of such repair by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant’s insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, the deficiency in the cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord’s repair of the damage. In connection with such repairs and replacements, Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of construction, submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such improvement work. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if such Casualty shall have damaged the Premises or common areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy, and if such damage is not the result of the willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s employees, contractors, licensees, or invitees, Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Rent, during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease, and not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof.

11.2 Landlord’s Option to Repair. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises and/or Building and instead terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of discovery of such damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant ninety (90) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building shall be damaged by Casualty or other cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) repairs cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of discovery of damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Building shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt; or (iii) the damage is not fully covered, except for deductible amounts, by Landlord’s insurance policies. Additionally, in the event of a Casualty that renders the Premises unfit for occupancy for the Permitted Purpose, or the Garage unfit for use by Tenant as provided hereunder, if the repair thereof (to the extent necessary to make the Premises fit for the Permitted Use or the Garage fit for Tenant’s use, as the case may be) cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days, Landlord shall, immediately upon such determination made within the two hundred seventy (270) day period, provide written

 

     1655 Grant Street
      Genworth Financial Wealth Management, Inc.

-22-


notice to Tenant and Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord delivered within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s notice to Tenant of such determination. If no cure has been completed and no notice has been received by Tenant within the two hundred seventy (270) day period, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord delivered within thirty (30) days thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may in its sole discretion elect to provide alternative convenient parking for Tenant during any period following a Casualty affecting the Garage, and for purposes of the preceding two sentences, such provision of alternate parking shall be deemed equivalent to restoring the Garage. In addition, in the event that the Premises or the Building is destroyed or damaged to any substantial extent during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 11, Landlord and Tenant shall each individually have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other of the exercise of such option within thirty (30) days after the date of such damage or destruction, in which event this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such notice. Upon any such termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 11.2, Tenant shall pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent, properly apportioned up to such date of termination, and both parties hereto shall thereafter be freed and discharged of all further obligations hereunder, except as provided for in provisions of this Lease which by their terms survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.

11.3 Waiver of Statutory Provisions. The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Project, and any statute or regulation of the state in which the Building is located, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Project.

ARTICLE 12

NONWAIVER

No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be implied by any failure of Landlord or Tenant to enforce any remedy on account of the violation of such provision, even if such violation shall continue or be repeated subsequently, any waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any provision of this Lease may only be in writing, and no express waiver shall affect any provision other than the one specified in such waiver and that one only for the time and in the manner specifically stated. No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant or by Tenant from Landlord after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the Lease Term or of Tenant’s or Landlord’s right of possession hereunder or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or affect any notice given Tenant or Landlord prior to the receipt of such monies, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Tenant may pay and Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment and/or receipt of said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment.

ARTICLE 13

CONDEMNATION

If the whole or any material part of the Premises, Garage (unless Landlord elects in its sole discretion to provide alternate convenient parking to Tenant) or Building shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of the whole or any material part of the Premises, Garage (unless Landlord elects in its sole discretion to provide alternate convenient parking to Tenant) or Building, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the applicable authority. Tenant shall not because of such taking assert any claim against Landlord or the authority for any compensation because of such taking and Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant’s personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease. All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of The California Code of Civil Procedure.

ARTICLE 14

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

14.1 Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment, or other transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or enter into any license or concession agreements or otherwise permit the occupancy or use of the Premises or any part thereof by any persons other than Tenant and its employees and contractors (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as “Transfers” and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “Transferee” and the Premises or portion thereof to be transferred hereinafter referred to as the “Subject Space”). In connection with any such transfer contemplated by Tenant, Tenant shall submit a written request for consent notice to Landlord, together with any information reasonably required by Landlord which will enable Landlord to determine (i) the financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the proposed transferee, (ii) the nature of such transferee’s business, (iii) the proposed use of the applicable portion of the Premises, and (iv) any other reasonable consent parameters. Any transfer made without Landlord’s prior written consent shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease. Whether or not Landlord consents to any

-24-


proposed transfer, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable, internal review and processing fees not to exceed two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500), as well as any reasonable, out-of-pocket third-party fees (including, without limitation, attorneys’, accountants’, architects’, engineers’ and consultants’ fees) incurred by Landlord, within forty five (45) days after written request by Landlord.

14.2 Landlord’s Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. If Landlord does not respond to the Transfer Notice within fifteen (15) days, Tenant may send a second copy of the Transfer Notice, containing a prominently displayed, bold-faced caption stating that failure to respond to such second notice within an additional fifteen (15) day period will result in the deemed approval of the Transfer contemplated in the Transfer Notice. If Landlord fails to respond to such second Transfer Notice within fifteen (15) days thereafter, the applicable Transfer shall be deemed approved. Without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, the parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply: (i) transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building or the Project; (ii) transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities to be undertaken in connection with the transfer on the date consent is requested; (iii) transferee intends to use the applicable portion(s) of the Premises for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease; (iv) transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof; (v) the proposed transfer would cause a violation of another lease for space in the Project, or would give an occupant of the Project a right to cancel its lease; or (vi) either the proposed transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed transferee, (A) occupies space in the Project at the time of the request for consent, or (B) is negotiating or has negotiated with Landlord to lease space in the Project within the previous six (6) months. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent under this Section 14.2 or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably under this Article 14, their sole remedies shall be a declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief sought without any monetary damages, and Tenant hereby waives all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all applicable laws, on behalf of the proposed Transferee. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from any and all liability, losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, causes of action and proceedings involving any third party or parties (including without limitation Tenant’s proposed subtenant or assignee) who claim they were damaged by Landlord’s wrongful withholding or conditioning of Landlord’s consent.

14.3 Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to a proposed transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any “Transfer Premium,” as that term is defined in this Section 14.3, received by Tenant from such Transferee. “Transfer Premium” shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such transferee in connection with the Transfer in excess of the Rent

and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the Transfer (on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred); provided, however, such Transfer Premium shall also include, but not be limited to, key money, bonus money or other cash consideration paid by transferee to Tenant in connection with such transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to transferee in connection with such Transfer, and shall be reduced dollar for dollar (on a straight-line amortized basis over the term of the applicable sublease or the remaining Lease Term other than with respect to a sublease) by any reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with such Transfer. No Transfer Premium shall apply for any transaction not requiring Landlord consent under this Article 14.

14.4 Landlord’s Option as to Subject Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s written request for consent to so transfer, to recapture the corresponding portion of the Premises. Such recapture notice shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to such portion of the Premises as of the effective date of the proposed transfer. In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner to recapture the Subject Space under this Section 14.4, then, provided Landlord has consented to the proposed transfer, Tenant shall be entitled to proceed to transfer the Subject Space to the proposed transferee, subject to provisions of this Article 14. Landlord shall have no option to recapture space under this Section 14.4 as a result of any transaction not requiring Landlord consent under this Article 14.

14.5 Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a transfer, (i) the TCCs of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further transfer by either Tenant or a transferee, (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (iv) Tenant shall furnish upon Landlord’s request a complete statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant, or Tenant’s chief financial officer, setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant has derived and shall derive from such Transfer, and (v) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from any liability under this Lease, including, without limitation, in connection with the Subject Space. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within forty five (45) days after demand, pay the deficiency, and if understated by more than four percent (4%), Tenant shall pay Landlord’s costs of such audit.

14.6 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease in whole or in part, or to sublet any portion or all of the Premises, by operation of law or otherwise, without the requirement to obtain Landlord’s consent, but upon written notice, and without the need to provide any form of transfer fee, premium or other fees and costs payable to Landlord and with no right of recapture of any kind on the part of Landlord (i) to any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Tenant), (ii) to any entity into or with which Tenant may be merged or consolidated, or (iii) to any entity that has acquired, or is concurrently therewith acquiring, ownership or control of all or substantially all of the assets of and/or ownership interest in Tenant; provided that Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment or sublease and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such assignment or sublease or such affiliate, and further provided that such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease or otherwise effectuate any “release” by Tenant of such obligations and such Permitted Transferee shall thereafter become liable under this Lease, on a joint and several basis, with Tenant. The transferee under a transfer specified in items (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be referred to as a “Permitted Transferee.” “Control,” as used in this Section 14.6, shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting interest in, any person or entity. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary (including Section 14.7 below), the recently announced potential sale transaction, pursuant to which, if consummated, ownership interests in AssetMark Holdings, Inc. (Tenant’s corporate parent) would be transferred to a partnership owned by Aquiline Capital Partners and Genstar Capital, will not be deemed a Transfer hereunder, and therefore no prior notice or fee obligations, consent, cost reimbursement or recapture rights will arise in connection therewith; provided, however, Tenant shall notify Landlord in the event that such potential sale is consummated. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not mortgage, give as security, pledge or encumber this Lease, in whole or in part, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion.

14.7 Additional Transfers. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Transfer” shall also include (i) if Tenant is a partnership or limited liability company, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of more than fifty percent (50%) or more of the partners or members, or transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) or more of partnership or membership interests, within a twelve (12)-month period, or the dissolution of the partnership without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (ii) if Tenant is a closely held corporation (i.e., whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter), (A) the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant or (B) the sale or other transfer of an aggregate of more than fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting shares of Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason of gift or death), within a twelve (12)-month period, or (C) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of an aggregate of more than fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant within a twelve (12)-month period.

14.8 Occurrence of Default. Any Transfer hereunder shall be subordinate and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall be terminated during the term of any Transfer, Landlord shall have the right to: (i) treat such Transfer as cancelled and repossess the Subject Space by any lawful means, or (ii) require that such Transferee attorn to and recognize Landlord as its landlord under any such Transfer. If Tenant shall be in default under this Lease beyond any applicable cure period, Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized, as Tenant’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to direct any Transferee to make all payments under or in connection with the Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply towards Tenant’s obligations under this Lease) until such default is cured. Such Transferee shall rely on any representation by Landlord that Tenant is in default hereunder, without any need for confirmation thereof by Tenant. Upon any assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing all obligations and covenants of Tenant thereafter to be performed or observed under this Lease. No collection or acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee shall be deemed a waiver of any provision of this Article 14 or the approval of any Transferee or a release of Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, whether theretofore or thereafter accruing. In no event shall Landlord’s enforcement of any provision of this Lease against any Transferee be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to enforce any term of this Lease against Tenant or any other person. If Tenant’s obligations hereunder have been guaranteed, Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall not be effective unless the guarantor also consents to such Transfer.

ARTICLE 15

SURRENDER OF PREMISES; OWNERSHIP AND

REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES

15.1 Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in writing by Landlord. The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease, whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such delivery Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been properly terminated. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises or terminate any or all such sublessees or subtenancies.

15.2 Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 15, quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order and condition as when Tenant took possession and as thereafter improved by Landlord and/or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear, Casualty, Condemnation and repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted (it being acknowledged that the provisions of Article 7 shall apply with respect to any Casualty). Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, business and trade

 

     1655 Grant Street
      Genworth Financial Wealth Management, Inc.

fixtures, free-standing cabinet work, movable partitions and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal.

ARTICLE 16

HOLDING OVER

If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination thereof, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to the product of (i) the Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease, and (ii) a percentage equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%). Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other applicable term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Nothing contained in this Article 16 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.

ARTICLE 17

ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

Within ten (10) business days following a request in writing by Landlord or Tenant (the “Requesting Party”), the other party (the “Delivering Party”) shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Requesting Party an estoppel certificate, which, as submitted by the Requesting Party, if the Requesting Party is Landlord, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (or such other form as may be required by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Project, or any portion thereof), or, if the Requesting Party is Tenant, in a form reasonably agreeable to Landlord and Tenant and consistent with commercially reasonable market practices for landlords and tenants similarly situated to Landlord and Tenant, in either case indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain any other information concerning this Lease reasonably requested by the Requesting Party or its mortgagee or prospective mortgagee. Any such certificate may be relied upon solely by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of all or any portion of the Project or transferee of Tenant, as the case may be. Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes. At any time during the Lease Term (but not more frequently than

 

     1655 Grant Street

-29-


once annually, twice during the initial Lease Term or twice during any Option Term), Landlord may require Tenant to provide Landlord with a current financial statement and financial statements of the two (2) years prior to the current financial statement year. Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, certified by an officer of Tenant and, if such is the normal practice of Tenant, shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant. Failure of Tenant to timely execute, acknowledge and deliver such estoppel certificate shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises and an acknowledgment by Tenant that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception.

ARTICLE 18

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE & ATTORNMENT

This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Building or Project and to the lien of any mortgage, trust deed or other encumbrances now or hereafter in force against the Building or Project or any part thereof, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds, unless the holders of such mortgages, trust deeds or other encumbrances, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases, require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto; provided, however, any such lessor or lender shall enter into an SNDA as provided below or otherwise agree, as set forth in the SNDA, not to disturb Tenant’s possession, occupancy, access or quiet enjoyment of the Premises under this Lease. Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed in lieu thereof (or if any ground lease is terminated), to attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the lienholder or purchaser or any successors thereto upon any such foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof (or to the ground lessor), if so requested to do so by such purchaser or lienholder or ground lessor, and to recognize such purchaser or lienholder or ground lessor as the lessor under this Lease, provided such lienholder or purchaser or ground lessor shall agree to accept this Lease and not disturb Tenant’s occupancy, so long as Tenant timely pays the rent and observes and performs the TCCs of this Lease to be observed and performed by Tenant. Landlord’s interest herein may be assigned as security at any time to any lienholder. Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days of request by Landlord, execute a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in form and content substantially comparable to that attached to this Lease as Exhibit G, and otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord’s mortgage-holder and to Tenant (an “SNDA”) to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to the lien of any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or underlying leases. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale.

ARTICLE 19

DEFAULTS; REMEDIES

19.1 Tenant Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” by Tenant:

19.1.1 Any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any other charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof, when due unless such failure is cured within five (5) days after notice; or

19.1.2 Except where a specific time period is otherwise set forth for Tenant’s performance in this Lease, in which event the failure to perform by Tenant within such time period shall be a default by Tenant under this Section 19.1.2, any failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure such default, but in no event exceeding a period of time in excess of sixty (60) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; or

19.1.3 To the extent permitted by law, a general assignment by Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease for the benefit of creditors, or the taking of any corporate action in furtherance of bankruptcy or dissolution whether or not there exists any proceeding under an insolvency or bankruptcy law, or the filing by or against Tenant or any guarantor of any proceeding under an insolvency or bankruptcy law, unless in the case of a proceeding filed against Tenant or any guarantor the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days, or the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or any guarantor, unless possession is restored to Tenant or such guarantor within thirty (30) days, or any execution or other judicially authorized seizure of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets located upon the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, unless such seizure is discharged within thirty (30) days; or

19.1.4 The failure by Tenant to observe or perform according to the provisions of Articles 5, 14, 17 or 18 of this Lease where such failure continues for more than two (2) business days after notice from Landlord.

The notice periods provided herein are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice periods provided by law.

19.2 Remedies Upon Tenant Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity (all of which remedies shall be distinct, separate and cumulative), the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever.

 

     1655 Grant Street
      Genworth Financial Wealth Management, Inc.

-31-


19.2.1 Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:

(a) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus

(b) 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

(c) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(d) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease, specifically including but not limited to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred; and

(e) At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.

The term “rent” as used in this Section 19.2 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease to Landlord. As used in Sections 19.2.1(a) and (b), above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate. As used in Section 19.2.1(c), above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

19.2.2 Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.

19.2.3 Landlord shall at all times have the rights and remedies (which shall be cumulative with each other and cumulative and in addition to those rights and remedies available under Sections 19.2.1 and 19.2.2, above, or any law or other provision of this Lease), without prior demand or notice except as required by applicable law, to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of any provision hereof.

19.3 Subleases of Tenant. Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any Event of Default by Tenant, as set forth in this Article 19, Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, succeed to Tenant’s interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements.

 

     1655 Grant Street
      Genworth Financial Wealth Management, Inc.

-32-


In the event of Landlord’s election to succeed to Tenant’s interest in any such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.

19.4 Mitigation of Damages. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to any Event of Default, to the extent that Landlord fails to make any effort required by applicable law to mitigate its damages resulting from such Event of Default, the damages to which Landlord may be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 19.2 may be reduced according to applicable law.

19.5 Efforts to Relet. No re-entry or repossession, repairs, maintenance, changes, alterations and additions, reletting, appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord’s interests hereunder, or any other action or omission by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, or to accept a surrender of the Premises, nor shall same operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, unless express written notice of such intention is sent by Landlord to Tenant.

19.6 Landlord Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease if Landlord fails to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord’s failure to perform (except in the case of an emergency that presents an immediate and material threat of harm to Tenant’s property, the Premises or persons therein, in which case such thirty (30) day period shall be reduced to a reasonable period required for Landlord to act); provided, however, if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then, during a period not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) additional days, Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease if it shall commence such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursue the same to completion. Upon any such default by Landlord under this Lease, Tenant may, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease to the contrary, exercise any of its rights provided at law or in equity, subject to the TCCs of this Lease, including the right to perform Landlord’s obligation at Landlord’s expense, which shall be billed to Landlord. Any award from a court or arbitrator in favor of Tenant requiring payment by Landlord which is not paid by Landlord within the time period directed by such award, may be offset by Tenant from Rent next due and payable under this Lease; provided, however, Tenant may not deduct the amount of the award against more than fifty percent (50%) of Base Rent next due and owing (until such time as the entire amount of such judgment is deducted) unless the remaining Lease Term and/or Base Rent payable during the same is inadequate to satisfy such reward (in which case such deductions shall be straight-line amortized over the remaining Lease Term).

The installation of any such sign shall be subject to the TCC of Article 8 of this Lease.

23.2 Interior and Monument Signage. Landlord shall provide Tenant with identifying signage to be included in the Building standard directory at Landlord’s cost, and on any free-standing monument signage at Landlord’s cost; provided however, if at the request of Tenant such monument signage includes elements in excess of Landlord’s standard monument signage, Tenant shall be responsible for any corresponding incremental cost or expense. Such signage shall be comparable to that used by Landlord for other similar floors in the Building and shall comply with Landlord’s Building standard signage program.

23.3 Building Top Signage. Provided such sign is in keeping with the quality, design and style of the Building and Project, Tenant shall be given the right to one building top or “eyebrow” sign on the Building, to be placed in a location of Tenant’s choosing and subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval and any governmental regulation or code requirement. The cost and of the production and installation of the building top or “eyebrow” sign shall be at Tenant’s expense.

23.4 Multi-Tenant Floors.

23.5 Prohibited Signage and Other Items. Any signs, notices, logos, pictures, names or advertisements which are installed and that have not been separately approved by Landlord may be removed without notice by Landlord at the sole expense of Tenant. Tenant may not install any signs on the exterior or roof of the Project or the Common Areas other than signs installed in accordance with the TCC’s of Article 23. Any signs, window coverings or blinds (even if the same are located behind the Landlord-approved window coverings for the Building), or other items displayed in the windows of the Premises which are visible from the ground-level, exterior of the Premises, shall be in keeping with the quality, design and style of the Building and Project and shall be subject to the prior approval of Landlord, in its reasonable discretion.

23.6 Building Name. Landlord shall not name the Building after any of the following competitors of Tenant: Envestnet, Inc.; SEI Investments Company; or Avantria Consultants, LLC (or any of their respective affiliates whose names are derivative of the same). In the event that any of such parties changes its name, or is the subject of a merger or similar transaction and is the surviving party thereof, Tenant may inform Landlord of the new name of such entity and the prohibition of this Section 23.5 shall apply to such new name. Subject to the foregoing, Landlord shall retain all rights with respect to the name of the Building and may select or change such name in its sole discretion.

ARTICLE 24

COMPLIANCE WITH LAW

Landlord shall comply with all Applicable Laws relating to the Base Building, provided that compliance with such Applicable Laws is not the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease, and provided further that Landlord’s failure to comply therewith would prohibit Tenant from obtaining or maintaining a certificate of occupancy for the Premises, or would unreasonably and materially affect the safety of Tenant’s employees or create a significant health hazard for Tenant’s employees. Landlord shall be permitted to include in Operating Expenses any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord under this Article 24 to the extent consistent with the terms of Section 1.1.4 of Exhibit C. Tenant shall not do anything or suffer anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or other governmental rule, regulation or requirement now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated (collectively, “Applicable Laws”). At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with all such governmental measures (including the making of any alterations to the Premises required by Applicable Laws) excluding changes to fire and life/safety requirements and structural changes to the Building or Premises. Should any standard or regulation now or hereafter be imposed on Tenant by a state, federal or local governmental body charged with the establishment, regulation and enforcement of occupational, health or safety standards for employers, employees, landlords or tenants, then Tenant agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to comply promptly with such standards or regulations.

LATE CHARGES

If Tenant fails to pay any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant within five (5) business days following the date such amount is due, then, Landlord shall provide notice to Tenant in writing of such failure, and without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Landlord, including without limitation pursuant to Article 29, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount plus any attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due hereunder; provided, however, with regard to the first such failure in any twelve (12) month period, Landlord will waive such late charge to the extent Tenant cures such failure within three (3) business days following Tenant’s receipt of written notice from Landlord that the same was not received when due. The late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent and the right to require it shall be in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord’s remedies in any manner. In addition to the late charge described above, any Rent or other amounts owing by either party hereunder which are not paid within ten (10) business days after the date they are due shall bear interest from the date when due until paid at the “Interest Rate.” For purposes of this Lease, the “Interest Rate” shall be an annual rate equal to the lesser of (i) six percent (6%), and (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law.

ARTICLE 26

LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULT; PAYMENTS BY TENANT

If Tenant shall fail to perform any of its obligations under this Lease, within the time period applicable for the same to become a default beyond all applicable notice and cure periods, or such shorter time period specified herein as the case may be, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, after reasonable prior notice to Tenant, make any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant’s part without waiving its right based upon any default of Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any obligations hereunder.

In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to use any means that Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises.

ARTICLE 28

TENANT PARKING

28.1 In General. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall lease from Landlord and Landlord shall lease to Tenant, the number and type of parking passes set forth on Section 9 of the Summary. This right to park in the Garage shall be on a free, unreserved, nonexclusive, first come, first served basis, for passenger-size automobiles and is subject to the following terms and conditions:

28.1.1 Tenant shall at all times abide by and shall cause each of Tenant’s Parties to abide by any rules and regulations (“Parking Rules”) for use of the Garage that are established from time to time pursuant to the CC&Rs, and otherwise agrees to use the Garage in a safe and lawful manner. Landlord will provide Tenant with two (2) reserved stalls and five (5) visitor parking spaces marked as designated for Tenant in the Garage subject to the CC&Rs and the Parking Rules. Tenant acknowledges that the Parking Rules governing the use of the Garage may be modified from time to time including any key-card, sticker or other identification or entrance system and hours of operation. Landlord or the Garage Operator may refuse to permit any person who violates such Parking Rules to park in the Garage, and any violation of the Parking Rules shall subject the car to removal from the Garage in accordance with Section 28.2 below. Landlord will provide Tenant with one (1) keycard to access the Garage for each parking space provided hereunder at no expense; provided that any replacement access cards will be subject to Landlord’s standard charge therefor.

28.1.2 Except for Tenant’s two (2) reserved parking spaces and five (5) designated visitor parking spaces, the parking spaces hereunder shall be provided on a non-designated “first-come, first-served” basis. Landlord and the Garage Operator reserves the right to assign specific spaces, and to reserve spaces for visitors, small cars, disabled persons or for

other tenants or guests, and Tenant shall not park and shall not allow Tenant’s Parties to park in any such assigned or reserved spaces. The Garage has designated visitor parking and Tenant may validate visitor parking by such method as Landlord may approve, at the validation rate from time to time generally applicable to visitor parking. Tenant acknowledges that the Garage may be closed entirely or in part in order to make repairs or perform maintenance services, or to alter, modify, re-stripe or renovate the Garage, or if required by casualty, strike, condemnation, act of God, governmental law or requirement or other reason beyond the operator’s reasonable control. In the event that the Garage is closed due to Landlord’s negligence, Landlord shall provide alternate convenient parking for Tenant’s use during such closing period.

28.1.3 Tenant acknowledges that to the fullest extent permitted by law, Landlord shall have no liability for any damage to property or other items located in the Garage (including without limitation, any loss or damage to tenant’s automobile or the contents thereof due to theft, vandalism or accident), nor for any personal injuries or death arising out of the use of the Garage by Tenant or any Tenant’s Parties, unless such loss or damage results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors. Without limiting the foregoing, if Landlord arranges for the parking areas to be operated by an independent contractor not affiliated with Landlord, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have no liability for claims arising through acts or omissions of such independent contractor. Except for loss or damage resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, Tenant and Tenant’s Parties each hereby voluntarily releases, discharges, waives and relinquishes any and all actions or causes of action for personal injury or property damage occurring to Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties arising as a result of parking in the Garage, or any activities incidental thereto, wherever or however the same may occur, and further agrees that Tenant will not prosecute any claim for personal injury or property damage against Landlord or any of its officers, agents, servants or employees for any said causes of action and in all events, Tenant agrees to look first to its insurance carrier and to require that Tenant’s Parties look first to their respective insurance carriers for payment of any losses sustained in connection with any use of the Garage. Tenant hereby waives on behalf of its insurance carriers all rights of subrogation against Landlord or Landlord’s agents.

28.1.4 Tenant’s right to park as described in this Article 28 and this Lease is exclusive to Tenant and its Permitted Transferees and shall not pass to any assignee or sublessee without the express written consent of Landlord, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

28.1.5 In the event any surcharge or regulatory fee is at any time imposed by any governmental authority with reference to parking, Tenant shall (commencing after two (2) weeks’ notice to Tenant) pay, per parking pass, such surcharge or regulatory fee to Landlord in advance on the first day of each calendar month concurrently with the month installment of rent due under this Lease. Landlord will enforce any surcharge or fee in an equitable manner amongst the Building tenants.

28.2 Violation. If Tenant violates any of the terms and conditions of this Article 28, the Garage Operator shall have the right to remove from the Garage any vehicles hereunder which shall have been involved or shall have been owned or driven by parties involved in causing such violation, without liability therefor whatsoever, provided however the Garage

Operator shall notify Tenant or the owner of such vehicle of any such removal. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to cancel any individual user’s (including any Tenant Party’s) right to use the Garage pursuant to this Article upon ten (10) days’ written notice, unless within such ten (10) day period, Tenant or such user cures any applicable default. Such cancellation right shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Landlord at law or equity, or provided under this Lease.

ARTICLE 29

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

29.1 Binding Effect. Subject to all other provisions of this Lease, each of the covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease shall extend to and shall, as the case may require, bind or inure to the benefit not only of Landlord and of Tenant, but also of their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors or assigns, provided this clause shall not permit any assignment by Tenant contrary to the provisions of Article 14 of this Lease.

29.2 Generator. Subject to Landlord’s prior approval of all plans and specifications, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and otherwise subject to the TCC of Article 8 and the CC&Rs, Tenant shall have the right to install and maintain, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, a backup generator in a location to be agreed to by Landlord and Tenant (with due consideration given to the visibility and noise of such generator). Such backup generator shall be used by Tenant only during (i) testing and regular maintenance, and (ii) any period of electrical power outage in the Building. Tenant shall be entitled to operate the generator for testing and regular maintenance only upon reasonable advance notice to Landlord and at times reasonably approved by Landlord. Tenant shall submit the specifications for design, operation, installation and maintenance of the generator for Landlord’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and may be conditioned on Tenant complying with such reasonable requirements imposed by Landlord, based on the advice of Landlord’s structural and mechanical engineers, so that the Building’s systems and equipment are not adversely affected. In addition, Tenant shall ensure that the backup generator does not result in any hazardous substances being introduced to the Building or Project. Further, Tenant shall be responsible for ensuring that the backup generator does not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Building or Project by other tenants. Tenant shall ensure that the design and installation of the backup generator is performed in a manner so as to minimize any excessive noise or vibration caused by such generator. Any generator installed by Tenant shall remain the personal property of Tenant throughout the Lease Term. Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant at the time of Landlord’s approval only, and as a condition of such approval, require Tenant to remove and repair any damage caused by such removal of the generator.

29.3 No Air Rights. No rights to any view or to light or air over any property, whether belonging to Landlord or any other person, are granted to Tenant by this Lease. If at any time any windows of the Premises are temporarily darkened or the light or view therefrom is obstructed by reason of any repairs, improvements, maintenance or cleaning in or about the Project, the same shall be without liability to Landlord and without any reduction or diminution of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord may assign its interest in this Lease to a mortgage lender as additional security and agrees that such an assignment shall not release Landlord from its obligations hereunder and that Tenant shall continue to look to Landlord for the performance of its obligations hereunder.

29.9 Tenant’s Right to “Go Dark”. At any time during the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the right to cease operations in and close any or all of the Premises and to remove any and all furniture and equipment therefrom in accordance with the TCC of this Lease, provided that (i) Tenant notifies Landlord in advance or immediately thereafter, (ii) Tenant continues to pay all Rent as and when due and otherwise to satisfy all of its obligations under this Lease, and (iii) Tenant complies with Landlord’s reasonable closing requirements.

29.22 Brokers. Landlord and Tenant hereby warrant to each other that they have had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Lease, excepting only the real estate brokers or agents specified in Section 12 of the Summary (the “Brokers”), and that they know of no other real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with this Lease.

agrees that (i) it shall keep all such information confidential, (ii) it shall require, by way of contractual obligation or otherwise, that its employees, contractors, and agents do the same, and (iii) it shall use reasonable efforts to enforce such contractual or other obligations of its employees, contractors, and agents.

Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the Renovations, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant’s personal property or improvements resulting from the Renovations or Landlord’s actions in connection with such Renovations, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Renovations or Landlord’s actions.

Tenant acknowledges that certain other tenants at the Project under existing leases (together with their successors and assigns, the Existing ROFO Holders”) hold rights of first offer (the Existing ROFOs”), with respect to the ROFR Space (i.e., the right to receive and accept a first offer from Landlord as to the covered space, prior to Landlord entering into a lease for the covered space on terms preferable to those in the first offer). Except for the Existing ROFOs held by the Existing ROFO Holders, no other tenant at the Project currently holds preferential rights with respect to the ROFR Space. Tenant’s ROFR, and the provisions of this Section 29.33, shall be subordinate and subject in all respect to the Existing ROFO’s held by the Existing ROFO Holders.

29.33.2 Procedure for Offer. If Landlord desires to enter into a new lease or expansion of space under an existing lease with one or more prospective tenants for ROFR Space, Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice (“ROFR Notice”) of such circumstance. Tenant, following its receipt of a ROFR Notice, may (i) exercise its ROFR in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 29.33.3 below, or (ii) decline to exercise its ROFR. If Tenant fails to exercise its ROFR within the time period provided below, Landlord may proceed to lease the ROFR Space to the prospective tenant(s) on terms acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion.

29.33.3 Procedure for Acceptance. If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant’s ROFR with respect to the ROFR, then within ten (10) business days of delivery of the ROFR Notice to Tenant, Tenant shall deliver notice (the “ROFR Exercise Notice”) to Landlord of Tenant’s election to exercise its ROFR with respect to the entire ROFR Space on the terms determined pursuant to Section 29.33.4 below. If Tenant does not so notify Landlord within the seven (7) business day period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have declined to exercise its ROFR. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant must elect to exercise its ROFR, if at all, with respect to all of the ROFR Space offered by Landlord to Tenant at any particular time, and Tenant may not elect to lease only a portion thereof.

29.33.4 ROFR Space Terms. In the event the ROFR is exercised in accordance with Section 29.31.3 above, the terms of Tenant’s lease of the ROFR Space will be determined as follows:

(a) If the ROFR is exercised on or prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date, the lease of the ROFR Space will be on the same TCC as included in this Lease (including, without limitation, rental rate per rentable square foot); provided, however, that any Landlord allowances or inducements provided herein will be prorated for the remaining term at such time and will be proportional to the rental square feet of the applicable ROFR Space and the term shall be co-terminous with the Lease Term;

(b) If the ROFR is exercised following the second (2nd) anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date, the lease of the ROFR Space will be on then-current market terms as determined under the procedures described in Section 2.2.2 above; provided, however, that the term shall be co-terminous with the Lease Term;

(c) In any case: (i) Tenant shall have not less than 120 days prior to the earlier of rent commencement or occupancy in which to arrange for the improvement of the ROFR Space; and (ii) if fewer than three (3) years remain in the Lease Term at the rent commencement date for the ROFR Space, the Lease Term shall be extended for a period so that three (3) years remain (with respect to both the Premises and the ROFR Space), with the terms of such extension determined under the procedures described in Section 2.2.2 above.

29.33.5 Construction In ROFR Space. Except to the extent otherwise provided pursuant to Section 29.33.4 above, Tenant shall take the ROFR Space in its then “as is” condition, and the construction of improvements in the ROFR Space shall comply with the terms of Article 8 of this Lease.

29.33.6 Amendment. If Tenant timely exercises Tenant’s ROFR, Landlord and Tenant shall within twenty (20) days thereafter negotiate in good faith and execute an amendment to this Lease adding such ROFR Space to the Premises upon the terms set forth in this Section 29.

29.33.7 Restriction on ROFR. The ROFR shall be exercisable only by the originally named Tenant and any of its Permitted Transferees (and not any other assignee, sublessee or transferee of Tenant’s interest in this Lease). The originally named Tenant or its Permitted Transferee may exercise the ROFR only if that Tenant (and/or its Permitted Transferee) occupies the entire Premises as of the date of the ROFR Notice. Tenant shall not have the right to lease ROFR Space, as provided in this Section 29.31, if, as of the date of the attempted exercise by Tenant, an Event of Default shall have occurred.

29.34 Conference Room. The first floor of the Building currently contains a conference center (the “Conference Center”). To the extent that no other tenant in the Building holds exclusive or superior rights to the use of such Conference Center as of the date of this Lease, Tenant shall be allowed to access and use the Conference Center, provided that Tenant will be required to (i) schedule use of the Conference Center with Landlord’s property manager or other designated representative and (ii) abide by such reasonable rules and procedures as Landlord may from time to time adopt with respect to use of the Conference Center. Upon reasonable prior written notice by Tenant, Landlord shall provide Tenant with conference space for Tenant’s “all-employee” meetings of up to 200 people, within the Project or within a reasonable distance from the Project. To the extent such conference space is provided outside of the Project, the provision of such space shall be at Landlord’s cost; provided that such “all-employee” meetings do not occur more frequently than five (5) times per calendar year (and Tenant shall be responsible for the costs of “all-employee” meetings occurring more frequently).

29.35 Government Incentive Programs. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost, to obtain any local, State or Federal incentives that may be available to Tenant by virtue of its organization, operations or business (“Tenant Benefits”). To the extent that any such Tenant Benefits in the form of cash payments are required by the applicable governmental agency or authority to be paid to Landlord, Landlord shall pay over such Tenant Benefits to Tenant. Any taxes, assessments or other charges resulting from such Tenant Benefits shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant, and Tenant shall reimburse and hold harmless Landlord from the same.

WORK LETTER

This Work Letter shall set forth the terms and conditions relating to the construction of the tenant improvements in the Premises. This Work Letter is essentially organized chronologically and addresses the issues of the construction of the Premises, in sequence, as such issues will arise during the actual construction of the Premises. All references in this Work Letter to Articles or Sections of “this Lease” shall mean the relevant portion of Articles 1 through 29 of the Office Lease to which this Work Letter is attached as Exhibit B and of which this Work Letter forms a part, and all references in this Work Letter to Sections of “this Work Letter” shall mean the relevant portion of Sections 1 through 6 of this Work Letter.

SECTION 1

CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS FOR THE PREMISES

Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, construct the improvements in the Premises pursuant to that certain space plan, a copy of which is attached hereto on Schedule 1 (the “Space Plan”). Promptly following the full execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant shall cooperate in good faith with Landlord’s architects and engineers to supply the necessary information, if any, required to allow the Landlord’s architects and engineers to complete any additional architectural and engineering drawings for the Premises in a form, as approved by Tenant (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work and to obtain all applicable permits and in a manner consistent with, and which are a logical extension of, the Space Plan (collectively, the “Approved Working Drawings”). Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, construct the improvements in the Premises (the “Tenant Improvements”) pursuant to the Approved Working Drawings and in accordance with Building standard methods, materials and finishes described on Schedule 2 attached hereto unless such specific fixtures are called for in the Approved Working Drawings. Tenant shall make no changes or modifications to the Approved Working Drawings without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion if such change or modification would directly or indirectly delay the “Substantial Completion,” as that term is defined in Section 5.1 of this Work Letter, of the Premises or, unless the incremental cost of such change or modification is paid for 100% by Tenant, increase the cost of designing or constructing the Tenant Improvements.

SECTION 2

OVER-ALLOWANCE AMOUNT

In the event that after Tenant’s execution of this Lease, any revisions, changes, or substitutions shall be made to (i) the Space Plan, (ii) the Approved Working Drawings (once the same are completed), or (iii) the Tenant Improvements, or in the event that Tenant requests revisions, changes, or substitutions which cause the Approved Working Drawings to not be a logical extension of the Space Plan, then any additional costs which arise in connection with such revisions, changes or substitutions shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord promptly following Landlord’s request.

SECTION 3

CONTRACTOR’S WARRANTIES AND GUARANTIES

Landlord hereby assigns to Tenant all warranties and guaranties by the contractor who constructs the Tenant Improvements (the Contractor) relating to the Tenant Improvements, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord relating to, or arising out of the construction of, the Tenant Improvements (it being acknowledged that such waiver is not intended and shall not be interpreted to in any way limit or waive the liability of any contractor or third party under a warranty or guaranty described above).

SECTION 4

TENANT’S COVENANTS

Tenant hereby protects, defends, indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless for any loss, claims, damages or delays arising from the actions of Tenant’s space planner/architect (to the extent Tenant, as opposed to Landlord, engages any such space planner or architect) on the Premises or in the Building. In addition, immediately after the Substantial Completion of the Premises, Landlord shall have prepared and delivered to the Tenant a copy of the record set of plans and specifications (including all working drawings) for the Tenant Improvements.

SECTION 5

COMPLETION OF THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS;

LEASE COMMENCEMENT DATE

5.1 Ready for Occupancy. The Premises shall be deemed Ready for Occupancy upon the Substantial Completion of the Premises. For purposes of this Lease, Substantial Completion of the Premises shall occur upon the completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises pursuant to the Approved Working Drawings, with the exception of any “Punch List Items” (hereinafter defined) and any tenant fixtures, work-stations, built-in furniture, or equipment to be installed by Tenant or under the supervision of Contractor. Tenant shall have a period of thirty (30) days from Tenant’s receipt of notification from Landlord of the Substantial Completion of the Premises to provide Landlord with a written list of any defects or any incomplete or unsatisfactory items with respect to the Tenant Improvements (“Punch List Items”). Landlord will then be obligated within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s written notice, to cure any such Punch List Items (unless such Punch List Items, due to their nature, cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, in which case Landlord shall promptly commence to cure same and diligently pursue same to completion). This time provision shall not apply to latent defects in the Tenant Improvements, and Landlord shall promptly repair the same in a good and workmanlike manner, provided that Tenant delivers written notice to Landlord specifying such latent defect prior to the date that is twelve (12) months following the Substantial Completion of the Premises.

5.2 Tenant Delay of the Substantial Completion of the Premises. Except as provided in this Section 5.2, the Lease Commencement Date shall occur as set forth in Article 2 of the Lease and Section 5.1, above. If there shall be a delay or there are delays in the Substantial Completion of the Premises or in the occurrence of any of the other conditions precedent to the Lease Commencement Date, as set forth in Article 2 of the Lease, as a result of any of the following (a Tenant Delay):

5.2.1 Changes by Tenant in or additions to the Approved Working Drawings after the same have been approved by Tenant;

5.2.2 Tenant’s failure to approve or disapprove any matter requiring Tenant’s approval within five (5) business days (or Tenant’s unreasonable delay or withholding of approval for any such matter); including delays in the submission, revision or re-submission of changes or in the giving by Tenant of authorizations or approvals as set forth herein;

5.2.3 A breach by Tenant of the terms of this Work Letter or the Lease;

5.2.4 Any physical interference with the performance of the construction of the Base Building Work or Tenant Improvements by Tenant or any of its employees, agents or contractors, to the extent that such interference does, in fact, cause a delay;

5.2.5 Tenant’s request for materials, components, finishes or improvements, other than those specifically contemplated in the Approved Working Drawings, and which are not available in a commercially reasonable time given the anticipated date of Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, and which are different from, or not included in, Landlord’s standard improvement package items for the Building;

5.2.6 Changes to the base, shell and core of the Building, other than as specified in the Approved Working Drawings;

5.2.7 Any delays resulting from errors or omissions contained in Tenants requests for changes to the Approved Working Drawings which directly cause a delay; or

5.2.8 Any delay otherwise due to acts or inaction by Tenant or any of its employees, agents or contractors, provided Landlord has provided written notice to Tenant and Tenant has failed to cure such delay within a reasonable time period;

then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease or this Work Letter and regardless of the actual date of the Substantial Completion of the Premises, the Substantial Completion of the Premises shall be deemed to be the date the Substantial Completion of the Premises would have occurred if no Tenant Delays had occurred.

Landlord shall notify Tenant of any Tenant Delay, or the reasonable likelihood of a Tenant Delay, within three (3) business days after Landlord first becomes aware of such Tenant Delay or reasonable likelihood thereof. Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate to obtain the necessary bids and pricing for the Tenant Improvements and to determine the availability of

materials that could cause a Tenant Delay. For those items identified by Landlord as a Tenant Delay, Tenant shall, within five (5) business days after such determination, notify Landlord that it will either (i) accept such items as Tenant Delay items or (ii) substitute or remove materials, components, finishes, or improvements in order to eliminate such delay.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such delay in Substantial Completion shall not be deemed to be a “Tenant Delay” if Landlord could have avoided such delay through commercially reasonable efforts without incurring any additional cost or expense (not including any cost or expense that Landlord passes on to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Work Letter or the Lease) or potential liability.

SECTION 6

MISCELLANEOUS

6.1 Tenant’s Entry Into the Premises Prior to Substantial Completion. Thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated Lease Commencement Date, and provided that Tenant and its agents do not interfere with Contractor’s work in the Building and the Premises, Contractor shall allow Tenant access to the Premises prior to the Substantial Completion of the Premises for the purpose of Tenant installing overstandard equipment or fixtures (including Tenant’s data and telephone equipment) in the Premises. Prior to Tenant’s entry into the Premises as permitted by the terms of this Section 6.1, Tenant shall submit a schedule to Landlord and Contractor, for their approval, which schedule shall detail the timing and purpose of Tenant’s entry. Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from and indemnify, protect and defend Landlord against any loss or damage to the Building or Premises and against injury to any persons caused by Tenant’s actions pursuant to this Section 6.1. During such thirty (30) days period, subject to the CC&Rs and the Parking Rules, Landlord shall provide reasonable, free access to parking spaces in the Garage for Tenant’s contractors, subcontractors, and agents for the purpose of moving and installing Tenant’s furniture, fixtures and equipment and generally preparing the Premises for Tenant’s Use and occupancy (it being acknowledged that the Garage may not be able to accommodate specialized or above-standard sized trucks or vans).

6.2 Tenant’s Representative. Tenant has designated Gurinder Ahluwalia as its sole representative with respect to the matters set forth in this Work Letter, who, until further notice to Landlord, shall have full authority and responsibility to act on behalf of the Tenant as required in this Work Letter.

6.3 Landlord’s Representative. Landlord has designated Willard Lund as its representative with respect to the matters set forth in this Work Letter, who, until further notice to Tenant, shall have full authority and responsibility to act on behalf of the Landlord as required in this Work Letter.

6.4 Tenant’s Agents. All subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers retained directly by Tenant shall all be union labor in compliance with the then existing master labor agreements.

6.5 Time of the Essence in this Work Letter. Unless otherwise indicated, all references herein to a “number of days” shall mean and refer to calendar days. In all instances where Tenant is required to approve or deliver an item, if no written notice of approval is given or the item is not delivered within the stated time period, at Landlord’s sole option, at the end of such period the item shall automatically be deemed approved or delivered by Tenant and the next succeeding time period shall commence.

6.6 Tenant’s Lease Default. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Lease, if an Event of Default as described in Section 19.1 of the Lease or Work Letter, has occurred at any time on or before the Substantial Completion of the Premises, then (i) in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to Landlord pursuant to the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to cause Contractor to cease the construction of the Premises (in which case, Tenant shall be responsible for any delay in the Substantial Completion of the Premises caused by such work stoppage as set forth in Section 5 of this Work Letter), and (ii) all other obligations of Landlord under the terms of this Work Letter shall be forgiven until such time as such Event of Default or default is cured pursuant to the terms of the Lease.

1.1.5.2 Tax Expenses shall include, without limitation: (i) Any tax on the rent, right to rent or other income from the Building, or any portion thereof, or as against the business of leasing the Building, or any portion thereof; (ii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in addition to, or in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition of real property tax, it being acknowledged by Tenant and Landlord that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June 1978 election (“Proposition 13”) and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants, and, in further recognition of the decrease in the level and quality of governmental services and amenities as a result of Proposition 13, Tax Expenses shall also include any governmental or private assessments or the Building’s contribution towards a governmental or private cost-sharing agreement for the purpose of augmenting or improving the quality of services and amenities normally provided by governmental agencies; (iii) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the Rent payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any business or gross income tax or excise tax with respect to the receipt of such rent, or upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof; and (iv) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge, upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party, creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.

1.1.6 “Tenant’s Share” shall mean the percentage set forth in Section 6 of the Summary.

1.2 Allocation of Direct Expenses.

1.2.1 Method of Allocation. The parties acknowledge that the Property is part of the Project and that significant costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Project are shared between the owners of the properties in the Project as provided in the CC&Rs and the portion allocated to Landlord is included in the Direct Expenses to be paid by Tenant. The expenses under the CC&Rs may be allocated on a building by building basis, based on occupied square footage or on rentable square footage and Tenant agrees to be bound by the allocation of expenses to Landlord under the CC&Rs.

1.2.2 Cost Pools. Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to equitably allocate some or all of the Direct Expenses for the Building among different portions or occupants of the Project (the “Cost Pools”), in Landlord’s discretion. Such Cost Pools may include, but shall not be limited to, the office space tenants of the Building, and the retail space tenants of the Building. The Direct Expenses allocable to each such Cost Pool shall be allocated to such Cost Pool and charged to the tenants within such Cost Pool in an equitable manner.

1.3 Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent. If for any Expense Year ending or commencing within the Lease Term, Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for such Expense Year exceeds Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses applicable to the Base Year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 1.3.1, below, and as Additional Rent, an amount equal to the excess (the “Excess”).

1.3.1 Statement of Actual Direct Expenses and Payment by Tenant. Landlord shall give to Tenant following the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the “Statement”) which shall state in general major categories the Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for the Base Year or such preceding Expense Year, as applicable, and which shall indicate the amount of the Excess. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such Statement to Tenant on or before May 1 following the end of the Expense Year to which such Statement relates. Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year commencing or ending during the Lease Term, if an Excess is present, Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Statement, the full amount of the Excess for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as “Estimated Excess,” as that term is defined in Section 1.3.2, below, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Excess than the actual Excess, Tenant shall receive a credit in the amount of Tenant’s overpayment against Rent next due under this Lease. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord or Tenant from enforcing its rights under this Exhibit C. Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is

-9-


made of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, if an Excess is present, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Statement, pay to Landlord such amount, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Excess than the actual Excess, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days, deliver a check payable to Tenant in the amount of the overpayment. The provisions of this Section 1.3.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall not be responsible for Tenant’s Share of any Direct Expenses attributable to any Expense Year which are first billed to Tenant more than one (1) calendar year after the Lease Expiration Date, provided that in any event Tenant shall be responsible for Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses which were levied by any governmental authority or by any public utility companies.

1.3.2 Statement of Estimated Direct Expenses. In addition, Landlord shall give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the “Estimate Statement”) which shall set forth in general major categories Landlord’s reasonable estimate (the “Estimate”) of what the total amount of Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year shall be and the estimated excess (the “Estimated Excess”) as calculated by comparing the Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, which shall be based upon the Estimate, to the amount of Direct Expenses for the Base Year. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such Estimate Statement to Tenant on or before May 1 following the end of the Expense Year to which such Estimate Statement relates. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Additional Rent under this Exhibit C, nor shall Landlord be prohibited from revising any Estimate Statement or Estimated Excess theretofore delivered to the extent necessary. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Estimate Statement, a fraction of the Estimated Excess for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the second to last sentence of this Section 1.3.2). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year, including the month of such payment, and twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished (which Landlord shall have the right to deliver to Tenant at any time), Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Excess set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant. Throughout the Lease Term Landlord shall maintain books and records with respect to Direct Expenses in accordance with generally accepted real estate accounting and management practices, consistently applied.

1.

SUBORDINATION. Owner and Lessee hereby agree that:

 

  1.1

Prior Lien. The Deed of Trust securing the Note in favor of Lender, and any modifications, renewals or extensions thereof (including, without limitation, any modifications, renewals or extensions with respect to any additional advances made subject to the Deed of Trust), shall unconditionally be and at all times remain a lien on the Property prior and superior to the Lease;

Subordination. Lender would not make the Loan without this agreement to subordinate; and

 

  1.3

Whole Agreement.

AND FURTHER, Lessee individually declares, agrees and acknowledges for the benefit of Lender, that:

 

  1.4

Use of Proceeds. Lender, in making disbursements pursuant to the Note, the Deed of Trust or any loan agreements with respect to the Property, is under no obligation or duty to, nor has Lender represented that it will, see to the application of such proceeds by the person or persons to whom Lender disburses such proceeds, and any application or use of such proceeds for purposes other than those provided for in such agreement or agreements shall not defeat this agreement to subordinate in whole or in part;

 

  1.5

Waiver, Relinquishment and Subordination. Lessee intentionally and unconditionally waives, relinquishes and subordinates all of Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to the Property to the lien of the Deed of Trust and understands that in reliance upon, and in consideration of, this waiver, relinquishment and subordination, specific loans and advances are being and will be made by Lender and, as part and parcel thereof, specific monetary and other obligations are being and will be entered into which would not be made or entered into but for said reliance upon this waiver, relinquishment and subordination.

  3.2

No Default. To the best of Lessee’s knowledge, as of the date hereof: (i) there exists no breach, default, or event or condition which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a breach or default under the Lease; and (ii) there are no existing claims, defenses or offsets against rental due or to become due under the Lease;

 

  3.3

Entire Agreement. The Lease constitutes the entire agreement between Lessor and Lessee with respect to the Property and Lessee claims no rights with respect to the Property other than as set forth in the Lease; and

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS. Lessee covenants and agrees that, during all such times as Lender is the Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust:

 

  4.1

Modification, Termination and Cancellation. Lessee will not consent to any modification, amendment, termination or cancellation of the Lease (in whole or in part) without Lender’s prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and will not make any payment to Lessor in consideration of any modification, termination or cancellation of the Lease (in whole or in part) without Lender’s prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Lender’s consent shall be deemed given if no response is received from Lender within ten (10) business days following Lender’s receipt of such written notification and request for consent, together with a copy of such modification, amendment, termination or cancellation and such additional information as Lender requires in order to determine whether to give its consent;

 

  4.2

Notice of Default. Lessee will notify Lender in writing concurrently with any notice given to Lessor of any default by Lessor under the Lease, and Lessee agrees that Lender has the right (but not the obligation) to cure any breach or default specified in such notice within the time periods set forth below and Lessee will not declare a default of the Lease, as to Lender, if Lender cures such default within fifteen (15) days from and after the expiration of the time period provided in the Lease for the cure thereof by Lessor;

 

  4.3

No Advance Rents. Lessee will make no payments or prepayments of rent more than one (1) month in advance of the time when the same become due under the Lease; and

5.

ATTORNMENT. In the event of a foreclosure under the Deed of Trust, Lessee agrees for the benefit of Lender (including for this purpose any transferee of Lender or any transferee of Lessor’s title in and to the Property by Lender’s exercise of the remedy of sale by foreclosure under the Deed of Trust) as follows:

Payment of Rent. Lessee shall pay to Lender all rental payments required to be made by Lessee pursuant to the terms of the Lease for the duration of the term of the Lease;

 

  5.2

Continuation of Performance. Lessee shall be bound to Lender in accordance with all of the provisions of the Lease for the balance of the term thereof, and Lessee hereby attorns to Lender as its landlord, such attornment to be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instrument immediately upon Lender succeeding to Lessor’s interest in the Lease and giving written notice thereof to Lessee;

 

  5.3

No Offset. Lender shall not be liable for, nor subject to, any offsets or defenses which Lessee may have by reason of any act or omission of Lessor under the Lease, nor for the return of any sums which Lessee may have paid to Lessor under the Lease as and for security deposits, advance rentals or otherwise, except to the extent that such sums are actually delivered by Lessor to Lender; and

 

  5.4

Subsequent Transfer. If Lender, by succeeding to the interest of Lessor under the Lease, should become obligated to perform the covenants of Lessor thereunder, then, upon any further transfer of Lessor’s interest by Lender, all of such obligations shall terminate as to Lender.

 

6.

NON-DISTURBANCE. In the event of a foreclosure under the Deed of Trust, so long as there shall then exist no breach, default, or event of default on the part of Lessee under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Lender agrees for itself and its successors and assigns that the leasehold interest of Lessee under the Lease shall not be extinguished or terminated by reason of such foreclosure, but rather the Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Lender shall recognize and accept Lessee as tenant under the Lease subject to the terms and provisions of the Lease except as modified by this Agreement; provided, however, that Lessee and Lender agree that the following provisions of the Lease (if any) shall not be binding on Lender: any option to purchase with respect to the Property; any right of first refusal with respect to the Property except as contained in the Lease; any provision regarding the use of insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds with respect to the Property which is inconsistent with the terms of the Deed of Trust.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE

This SECOND AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE (this Second Amendment”) is made and entered into as of the 14th day of March, 2018 by and between SFG OWNER A, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and ASSETMARK, INC., a California corporation (“Tenant”).

R E C I T A L S :

A. Landlord and Tenant (formerly known as Genworth Financial Wealth Management, Inc., a California corporation) entered into that certain Office Lease dated May 29, 2013 (the Office Lease”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Office Lease dated May 13, 2015 (the First Amendment”), whereby Landlord leased to Tenant and Tenant leased from Landlord those certain premises consisting of a total of 72,536 rentable square feet (“Premises”) commonly known as Suites 900, 1000 and 1100 and located on the ninth (9th), tenth (10th) and eleventh (11th) floors, respectively, of that certain office building located at 1655 Grant Street, Concord, California (“Building”). The Office Lease and the First Amendment are, collectively, the Lease.”

B. Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease as hereinafter provided.

A G R E E M E N T :

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals (which are incorporated herein by reference) and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Capitalized Terms. All capitalized terms when used herein shall have the same meaning as is given such terms in the Lease unless expressly superseded by the terms of this Second Amendment.

2. Landlord Contribution to Tenant’s Furniture. Landlord hereby agrees to a one time contribution of $7,000.00 (the Landlord Furniture Contribution”) towards the purchase of chairs and accompanying storage carts to be procured by Tenant for use during certain all-employee meetings to be held as a part of Tenant’s business operations. In connection therewith, Landlord hereby agrees to reimburse Tenant up to the Landlord Furniture Contribution within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of invoices marked paid, or other evidence of the amounts incurred and actually paid by Tenant in connection with the purchase of such chairs and storage carts, as reasonably requested by Landlord.

3. Lease Modification. Effective as of the date of this Second Amendment, Section 29.34 of the Office Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“29.34 Conference Room. The first floor of the Building currently contains a conference center (the Conference Center”). To the extent that no other tenant in the Building holds exclusive or superior rights to the use of such Conference Center as of the date of this Lease, Tenant shall be allowed to access and use the Conference Center, provided that Tenant will be required to (i) schedule use of the Conference Center with Landlord’s property manager or other designated representative and (ii) abide by such reasonable rules and procedures as Landlord may from time to time adopt with respect to use of the Conference Center. In the event Tenant has completely built out the 11th Floor with private offices and cubicles such that there is no remaining space for an “all-employee” meeting, and upon reasonable written notice by Tenant, Landlord shall provide Tenant with conference space for Tenant’s “all-employee” meetings of up to 200 people, within the Project or within a reasonable distance from the Project. To the extent such conference space is provided within the Project, Tenant shall supply

 

  

EXHIBIT A

chairs for the meeting at no cost to Landlord. To the extent such conference space is provided outside of the Project, the provision of such space shall be at Landlord’s cost; provided that such “all-employee” meetings do not occur more frequently than five (5) times per calendar year (and Tenant shall be responsible for the costs of “all-employee” meetings occurring more frequently).”

4. California Accessibility Disclosure. For purposes of Section 1938 of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, that the Premises has not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp). As required by Section 1938(e) of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby states as follows: “A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises.” In furtherance of the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows: (a) any CASp inspection requested by Tenant shall be conducted, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, by a CASp designated by Landlord, subject to Landlord’s reasonable rules and requirements; (b) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for making any improvements or repairs within the Premises to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards; and (c) if anything done by or for Tenant in its use or occupancy of the Premises shall require any improvements or repairs to the Building or Project (outside the Premises) to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand, as Additional Rent, for the cost to Landlord of performing such improvements or repairs.

5. No Broker. Landlord and Tenant hereby warrant to each other that they have had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Second Amendment and that they know of no real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with this Second Amendment. Each party agrees to indemnify and defend the other party against and hold the other party harmless from any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, and costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of the indemnifying party’s dealings with any real estate broker or agent. The terms of this Section 6 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the term of the Lease, as hereby amended.

6. No Further Modification; Lease in Full Force and Effect. Except as set forth in this Second Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Lease are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect. This Second Amendment contains the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the matters contained herein. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Lease and the terms and conditions of this Second Amendment, the terms and conditions of this Second Amendment shall prevail. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that to each party’s actual knowledge, neither party is in default or violation of any covenant, provision, obligation, agreement or condition contained in the Lease. No representations, warranties, covenants or agreements have been made concerning or affecting the subject matter of this Second Amendment, except as are contained herein and in the Lease. This Second Amendment may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change or modification or discharge is sought.
