1.
Amendment.
1.1
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Seventh Amendment, the Lobby Finish Work and the Shower Work shall be excluded from the Landlord Work and Landlord shall have no further obligation for the performance thereof. Tenant shall perform the Lobby Finish Work and the Shower Work as part the Tenant Work in accordance with Exhibit “C” to the Seventh Amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, the flush flow rates for the showers and adjacent fixtures shall be performed in compliance with the LEED requirements set forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto. Tenant shall cause to be prepared the final design and space plans and specifications (called “Plans”) necessary to construct the Lobby Finish Work and the Shower Work, which Plans shall be approved by Landlord. Tenant shall be responsible for all elements of the design of the Plans (including, without limitation, functionality of design, the configuration of the Premises and the placement of Tenant’s furniture, appliances and equipment). Tenant shall furnish to Landlord complete Plans on or before January 1, 2017 (the “Plans Due Date”). If Tenant fails to furnish to Landlord complete Plans by the Plans Due Date, then Landlord shall provide Tenant with a written notice (a “Plan Notice”) that contains substantially the following statement in bold and capital letters: “THIS IS A REMINDER THAT TENANT WAS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT PLANS BY JANUARY 1, 2017 PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 1.1 OF THE NINTH AMENDMENT TO LEASE. IF TENANT FAILS TO RESPOND WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE, THEN LANDLORD SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT, BUT NOT THE OBLIGATION, TO COMPLETE THE LOBBY FINISH WORK AND THE SHOWER WORK IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DRAWINGS.” If Tenant fails to respond to such Plan Notice within five (5) business days after receipt by Tenant, then Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to complete the Lobby Finish Work and the Shower Work in accordance with the Drawings. Any sums reasonably expended by Landlord in connection therewith, to the extent it exceeds the Additional Allowance (as defined below), shall be payable by Tenant within thirty (30) days of written demand as Additional Rent, or at Landlord’s election deducted from the Building D Allowance (as defined in Exhibit “C” to the Seventh Amendment) to the extent that such Building D Allowance is not yet disbursed and is still available to apply. Tenant shall obtain all necessary permits and commence performance of the Lobby Finish Work and the Shower Work by not later than March 1, 2017. If Tenant fails to obtain all necessary permits and commence performance of the Lobby Finish Work and the Shower Work by March 1, 2017, then Landlord shall provide Tenant with a written notice (a “Permit Notice”) that contains substantially the following statement in bold and capital letters: “THIS IS A REMINDER THAT TENANT WAS REQUIRED TO OBTAIN ALL NECESSARY PERMITS AND COMMENCE PERFORMANCE OF THE LOBBY FINISH WORK AND THE SHOWER WORK BY MARCH 1, 2017 PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 1.1 OF THE NINTH AMENDMENT TO LEASE. IF TENANT FAILS TO RESPOND WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE, THEN LANDLORD SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT, BUT NOT THE OBLIGATION, TO COMPLETE THE LOBBY FINISH WORK AND THE SHOWER WORK.” If Tenant fails to respond to such Permit Notice within five (5) business days after receipt by Tenant, then Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to complete the Lobby Finish Work and the Shower Work. Any sums reasonably expended by Landlord in connection therewith, to the extent it exceeds the Additional Allowance (as defined below), shall be payable by Tenant within thirty (30) days of written demand as Additional Rent, or at Landlord’s election deducted from the Building D Allowance (as defined in Exhibit “C” to the Seventh Amendment) to the extent that such Building D Allowance is not yet disbursed and is still available to apply. If Tenant fails to timely perform any of its obligations under this Section 1.1, such failure shall be a Tenant Delay (as defined in the Seventh Amendment); provided, however, that the number of days of delay caused by Landlord’s failure to timely review plans or any other documents in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Amendment in connection with the Lobby Work and the Shower Work shall be deducted from the total number of any days of Tenant Delay.

1.2
Provided Tenant is not in default beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Landlord agrees to contribute the following: (i) the sum of up to $141,164.00 (the “Lobby Work Allowance”) toward the cost of performing the Lobby Finish Work, and (ii) the sum of up to $65,186.00 (the “Shower Work Allowance”) toward the cost of performing the Shower Work (the Lobby Work Allowance and the Shower Work Allowance are collectively referred to herein as the “Additional Allowance”). The Additional Allowance may only be used for the hard costs in connection with the Lobby Finish Work and the Shower Work, as may be the case. The Additional Allowance shall be paid to Tenant or, at Landlord’s option, to the order of the general contractor that performed the Lobby Finish Work or the Shower Work, as may be the case, within thirty (30) days following receipt by Landlord of (a) receipted bills covering all labor and materials expended and used in the Lobby Finish Work or the Shower Work, as may be the case; (b) a sworn contractor’s affidavit from the general contractor and a request to disburse from Tenant containing an approval by Tenant of the work done; (c) full and final waivers of lien; (d) as-built plans of the Lobby Finish Work or the Shower Work, as applicable; and (e) the certification of Tenant and its architect that the Lobby Finish Work and the Shower Work, as may be the case, have been installed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the approved plans, and in accordance with applicable laws, codes and ordinances. The Additional Allowance shall be disbursed in the amount reflected on the receipted bills meeting the requirements above. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to disburse any portion of the Additional Allowance during the continuance of an uncured default under the Lease, and Landlord’s obligation to disburse shall only resume when and if such default is cured. If Tenant does not submit a request for payment of the entire Additional Allowance to Landlord in accordance with the provisions contained in this Section 1.2 on or before the expiration of twelve (12) months from the Building D Expansion Effective Date (as defined in the Seventh Amendment) any unused amount shall accrue to the sole benefit of Landlord, it being understood that Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit, abatement or other concession in connection therewith. Tenant shall be responsible for all applicable state sales or use taxes, if any, payable in connection with the Lobby Finish Work, the Shower Work and/or the Additional Allowance.
1.3
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 3 of Exhibit “B” to the Sixth Amendment, as amended by the Eighth Amendment, Tenant must submit a request for payment of the entire Allowance to Landlord in accordance with the provisions contained in Exhibit “B” to the Sixth Amendment by August 31, 2016 (the “Second Extended Allowance Expiration Date”). If Tenant does not submit a request for payment of the entire Allowance to Landlord by the Second Extended Allowance Expiration Date, any unused amount of the Allowance shall accrue to the sole benefit of Landlord, it being understood that Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit, abatement or other concession in connection therewith. 
2.
Miscellaneous.
2.1
This Amendment, including Exhibit A (LEED Requirements) attached hereto, sets forth the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein. There have been no additional oral or written representations or agreements. Under no circumstances shall Tenant be entitled to any rent abatement, improvement allowance, leasehold improvements, or other work to the Premises, or any similar economic incentives that may have been provided Tenant in connection with entering into the Lease, unless specifically set forth in this Amendment.
2.2
Except as herein modified or amended, the provisions, conditions and terms of the Lease shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. In the case of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Lease and this Amendment, the provisions of this Amendment shall govern and control. The capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Lease to the extent that such capitalized terms are defined therein and not redefined in this Amendment.
2.3
Submission of this Amendment by Landlord is not an offer to enter into this Amendment but rather is a solicitation for such an offer by Tenant. Landlord shall not be bound by this Amendment until Landlord has executed and delivered the same to Tenant.
2.4
Tenant hereby represents to Landlord that Tenant has dealt with no broker in connection with this Amendment. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord and the Landlord Parties harmless from all claims of any brokers claiming to have represented Tenant in connection with this Amendment.

2.5
Each of the parties hereto represents that the person signing this Amendment has the authority to execute and deliver the same on behalf of the party hereto for which such signatory is acting. Tenant hereby represents and warrants that neither Tenant, nor any persons or entities holding any legal or beneficial interest whatsoever in Tenant (excluding any owners of publicly traded shares in Tenant to the extent Tenant is publicly traded on an “over-the-counter” market or any recognized national or international market), are (i) the target of any sanctions program that is established by Executive Order of the President or published by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, U.S. Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”); (ii) designated by the President or OFAC pursuant to the Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. App. § 5, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. §§ 1701-06, the Patriot Act, Public Law 107-56, Executive Order 13224 (September 23, 2001) or any Executive Order of the President issued pursuant to such statutes; or (iii) named on the following list that is published by OFAC: “List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons.” If the foregoing representation is untrue at any time during the Term, an event of default under the Lease will be deemed to have occurred, without the necessity of notice to Tenant.
2.6
Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1938, Landlord hereby notifies Tenant that as of the date of this Amendment, the Premises have not undergone inspection by a “Certified Access Specialist” to determine whether the Premises meet all applicable construction-related accessibility standards under California Civil Code Section 55.53.
