7.              EFFECT OF AMENDMENT.         As amended by this First Amendment, the Lease shall remain in full force and effect and is ratified by Landlord and Tenant. This First Amendment contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the

This AGREEMENT made as of the 5TH day of March, 1999, between WILSHIRE-CAMDEN ASSOCIATES, a California limited partnership (‘Landlord”) and KENNEDY-WILSON INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).

 

Reference is made to the First Amendment to Lease dated March 5, 1999 (the “Lease”) for premises known as Suite 220 (the “Premises”), located in the property known as 9601 WILSHIRE (the “Property”).

 

Landlord agrees to perform the following items of work (the “Work”) in the Premises (describe work and/or refer to any drawings or plans that have been prepared, if they are final):

 

I.              Paint the Premises using building standard paint.

2.             Carpet the Premises using building standard carpet

3.             Minor construction in accordance with mutually acceptable plans.

 

Landlord shall pay the frill cost of the Work, not to exceed $10.00 per rentable square foot or $13,430.00.

 

If Landlord requires further choices by Tenant respecting the above Work (e.g., color choices respecting the above items), Tenant shall promptly choose the same from such choices, if any, that Landlord makes available to Tenant as “building standard.” If any such further choices are required, the parties agree that Tenant has heretofore been provided an opportunity to view the available choices and Tenant agrees to make such choices by March I, 1999. If Tenant fails to do so by such date, Landlord may make such choices for Tenant.

 

Landlord will use reasonable efforts to complete the Work by the Commencement Date under the Lease or within 90 days thereafter, subject to further delays beyond Landlord’s reasonable control (as may be further described in the Lease); provided, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, delays in the Work hereunder shall not postpone the commencement of Rent under any circumstances whether the delay is caused by Tenant or Tenant’s contractors, agents or employees, or the delay is otherwise beyond Landlord’s reasonable control (as may be further described in the Lease), or for any other reason whatsoever Tenant acknowledges that the Work may occur during normal business hours while Tenant is in occupancy of the Premises and that no interference to Tenant’s business operations in, or use of, the Premises shall entitle Tenant to any abatement of rent or any other concession, or give rise to any claim against, or liability of, Landlord.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Work Letter, it is expressly understood and agreed by and between the pasties hereto that: (a) The recourse of Tenant or its successors or assigns against Landlord with respect to the alleged breach by or on the past of Landlord of any representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking or agreement contained in this Work Letter (collectively, “Landlord’s Work Letter Undertakings”) shall extend only to Landlord’s interest in the real estate of which the Premises demised under the Lease are a part hereinafter, “Landlord’s Real Estate”) and not to any other assets of Landlord or its constituent partners; and (b) Except to the extent of Landlord’s interest in Landlord’s Real Estate, no personal liability or personal responsibility of any sort with respect to any of Landlord’s Work Letter Undertakings or any alleged breach thereof is assumed by, or shall at any time be asserted or enforceable against, Landlord, its constituent partners, Heitman Capital Management LLC or Kennedy-Wilson Properties lid., or against any of their respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, constituent partners, beneficiaries, trustees or representatives.
