7.Restoration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, Lessor agrees to waive its right to require the Lessee to restore the Premises to its original condition with respect to: (i) any improvements or alterations within the Premises existing as of the Execution Date of this Amendment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Lessee shall have no obligation to restore the Premises to its condition as of the Execution Date of this Amendment in the event Lessor receives its permits and is scheduled to demolish and redevelop Building 17 within six (6) months after the Expiration Date of the Lease, and, in such case, Lessee shall only be required to deliver to Lessor the Premises in broom clean condition, including the following: (i) patch and sand all holes to match the original texture of the walls and painting; and (ii) replace any broken, chipped, stained or discolored ceiling tiles in the Premises to match the existing tiles; Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in the Lease to the contrary, Lessee hereby acknowledges and agrees that Section 14(g) of the Original Lease remains in full force and effect and that prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Lessee shall, at Lessee’s expense, obtain written closure reports from the San Mateo County Health Department and from the Menlo Park Fire Protection District in accordance with the terms of the Lease.

8.CASp Disclosure. For purposes of Section 1938 of the California Civil Code, Lessor hereby discloses to Lessee, and Lessee hereby acknowledges, that (check one):

☐    To Lessor's actual knowledge, the Premises have undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp).
If the Premises have undergone inspection by a CASp prior to the execution of this Amendment and, to the best of Lessor’s knowledge, there have been no modifications or alterations completed or commenced between the date of the inspection and the date of this Amendment which have impacted the Premises’ compliance with construction-related accessibility standards, Section 1938 requires Lessor to provide to Lessee, prior to execution of this Amendment, a copy of any report prepared by the CASp. If, prior to the date of this Amendment, the Premises were issued an inspection report by a CASp indicating that it meets applicable standards, as defined in paragraph (4) of subdivision (a) of California Civil Code Section 55.52, Lessor is required to provide a copy of the current disability access inspection certificate and any inspection report to
-3-





Lessee that was not already provided pursuant to the foregoing sentence, within seven (7) days of the date of the execution of this Amendment.
☒    To Lessor's actual knowledge, the Premises have not undergone inspection by a CASp.
or
☐    To Lessor's actual knowledge, the Premises have undergone inspection by a CASP but, to the best of Lessor's knowledge, there have been intervening modifications or alterations completed or commenced which have impacted the Premises compliance with construction related accessibility standards.
California Civil Code Section 1938 states:
“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, if requested by the Lessee. 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.”
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Amendment, Lessor and Lessee hereby agree that, from the date of this Amendment, Lessee shall be responsible for (i) the payment of the fee for any CASp inspection that Lessee desires, and (ii) making, at Lessee's cost, any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the Premises provided that such repairs shall be in accordance with the terms of the Lease (as amended). Lessee hereby agrees that: any CASp inspecting the Premises shall be selected by Lessor and reasonably approved by Lessee; Lessee shall promptly deliver to Lessor any CASp report regarding the Premises obtained by Lessee; and Lessee shall keep information contained in any CASp report regarding the Premises confidential, except as may be necessary for Lessee or its agents to complete any repairs or correct violations with respect to the Premises that Lessee agrees to undertake or otherwise as disclosure thereof may be required by law. Lessee shall have no right to cancel or terminate the Lease (as amended) due to violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the Premises identified in a CASp report obtained from the date of this Amendment.
9.Brokers. Lessee’s broker is T3 Advisors (“Lessee’s Broker”) and Lessor’s brokers are Kidder Matthews, Newmark Knight Frank and Tarlton Properties (collectively, “Lessor’s Broker” and collectively with Lessee’s Broker, the “Brokers”). Lessor shall pay a leasing commission to the Brokers pursuant to a separate agreement. Each party represents and warrants to the other party that it has not had any dealings with any real estate broker, finder, or other person with respect to this Amendment other than Lessee’s Broker and Lessor’s Broker and each party shall hold harmless the other party from all damages, expenses, and liabilities
-4-





resulting from any claims that may be asserted against the other party by any broker, finder, or other person with whom the other party has or purportedly has dealt, other than the above named brokers.
10.Severability. Any provision or provisions of this Amendment which shall be found to be invalid, void or illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect, impair, or invalidate any other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.
11.Amendments. The Lease, as amended, may only be amended by a writing signed by the parties hereto, or by an electronic record that has been electronically signed by the parties hereto and has been rendered tamper-evident as part of the signing process. The exchange of email or other electronic communications discussing an amendment to the Lease, as amended, even if such communications are signed, does not constitute a signed electronic record agreeing to such an amendment.

12.Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, including both counterparts that are executed on paper and counterparts that are in the form of electronic records and are executed electronically. An electronic signature means any electronic sound, symbol or process attached to or logically associated with a record and executed and adopted by a party with the intent to sign such record, including facsimile or e-mail electronic signatures. All executed counterparts shall constitute one agreement, and each counterpart shall be deemed an original. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that electronic records and electronic signatures, as well as facsimile signatures, may be used in connection with the execution of this Amendment and electronic signatures, facsimile signatures or signatures transmitted by electronic mail in so-called pdf format shall be legal and binding and shall have the same full force and effect as if a paper original of this Amendment had been delivered had been signed using a handwritten signature. Lessor and Lessee (i) agree that an electronic signature, whether digital or encrypted, of a party to this Amendment is intended to authenticate this writing and to have the same force and effect as a manual signature, (ii) intended to be bound by the signatures (whether original, faxed or electronic) on any document sent or delivered by facsimile or , electronic mail, or other electronic means, (iii) are aware that the other party will reply on such signatures, and (iv) hereby waive any defenses to the enforcement of the terms of this Amendment based on the foregoing forms of signature.
