THIS LEASE AGREEMENT (“Lease”)

is made this 22nd day of November, 2011 (the “Effective Date” and/or “date of Lease”),

 

BY AND BETWEEN:

 

JOHN HANCOCK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY (U.S.A.)

(a wholly owned subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation),

a Massachusetts corporation, having a local office at

865 South Figueroa Street, Suite 3320, in the City of Los Angeles, California 90017,

 

(hereinafter called the “Landlord”),

 

OF THE FIRST PART,

 

— and —

 

LegalZoom.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation

 

having an office at

101 North Brand Boulevard, 11th Floor

Glendale, California 91203

Attn: Legal Department

 

(hereinafter called the “Tenant”),

 

OF THE SECOND PART.

 

In consideration of the rents, covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

 

1. LEASED PREMISES

 

Leased Premises

 

The Landlord does demise and lease to the Tenant the premises (the “Leased Premises”) located in a building (the “Building”) having a municipal address of 575 Market Street in the city of San Francisco and known as Market Center (the Leased Premises, the Building, together with the lands described in Schedule “A” attached hereto and present and future improvements, additions and changes thereto being herein called the “Property”). The Leased Premises are located on the 8th floor and the approximate location is outlined in heavy black or cross hatched on the plan or plans marked Schedule(s) “B-1” attached hereto and are known as Suite 800. The parties agree that the Rentable Area of the Leased Premises is Five Thousand Seven Hundred Seventy-Nine square feet (5,779 rentable square feet) and has been measured in accordance with the provisions of Schedule “B” attached hereto. Landlord agrees not to remeasure the Leased Premises during the initial Term of this Lease.

 

Term

 

2. TERM

 

(a)           TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Leased Premises for and during the term of five (5) years and zero (0) days/months (the “Term”) to be computed from the first day of December, 2011 (the “Commencement Date” and/or “commencement date”), and to be fully complete and ended on the 30th day of November, 2016 (the “Expiration Date”) unless otherwise terminated or extended, if at all. The Commencement Date and the Expiration Date are subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5(a)(iii) of Schedule “F” attached to this Lease.

 

Delay in
Occupancy

 

(b)           If the Leased Premises or any part thereof are not ready for occupancy on the date of commencement of the Term, no part of the “Rent” (as hereinafter defined) or only a proportionate part thereof, in the event that the Tenant shall occupy a part of the Leased Premises, shall be payable for the period prior to the date when the entire Leased Premises are ready for occupancy and the full Rent shall accrue only after such last mentioned date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, the Tenant agrees to accept any such abatement of Rent in full settlement of all claims which the Tenant might

otherwise have by reason of the Leased Premises not being ready for occupancy on the date of commencement of the Term, provided that when the Landlord has completed construction of such part of the Leased Premises as it is obliged hereunder to construct, the Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of Rent for any delay in occupancy due to the Tenant’s failure or delay to provide plans or to complete any special installations or other work required for its purposes or due to any other reason, nor shall the Tenant be entitled to any abatement of Rent for any delay in occupancy if the Landlord has been unable to complete construction of the Leased Premises by reason of such failure or delay by the Tenant. Promptly following the determination of the Commencement Date, Landlord shall prepare a certificate as to the date the Leased Premises were ready for occupancy and such construction as the Landlord is obliged to complete is substantially completed, or as to the date upon which the same would have been ready for occupancy and completed respectively but for the failure or delay of the Tenant. Tenant’s failure to execute and return the certificate, or to provide written objection to the statements contained therein, within ten (10) days after the date of the certificate shall be deemed an approval by Tenant of the statements contained therein. Notwithstanding any delay in occupancy, the expiry date of this Lease shall remain unchanged.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, if the Commencement Date has not occurred on or before April 1, 2012 (the “Required Completion Date”), the Tenant, as its sole remedy, may terminate this Lease by giving the Landlord written notice of termination on or before the earlier to occur of: (a) five (5) business days after the Required Completion Date; and (b) the Commencement Date. In such event, this Lease shall be deemed null and void and of no further force and effect and the Landlord shall promptly refund any prepaid rent and Security Deposit previously advanced by the Tenant under this Lease and, so long as the Tenant has not previously defaulted under any of its obligations under this Lease or any Schedule hereto, the parties hereto shall have no further responsibilities or obligations to each other with respect to this Lease. The Landlord and the Tenant acknowledge and agree that: (i) the determination of the Commencement Date shall take into consideration the effect of any delays caused by the Tenant or any of the Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors and/or invitees; and (ii) the Required Completion Date shall be postponed by the number of days the Commencement Date is delayed due to strikes, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war, terrorist acts, civil disturbances and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the Landlord.

 

Over-Holding

 

(c)           If at the expiration of the Term or sooner termination hereof, the Tenant shall remain in possession without any further written agreement or in circumstances where a tenancy would thereby be created by implication of law or otherwise, a tenancy from year to year shall not be created by implication of law or otherwise, but the Tenant shall be deemed to be a monthly tenant only, at one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the current “Basic Rent” (as hereinafter defined) payable monthly in advance plus “Additional Rent” (as hereinafter defined) and otherwise upon and subject to the same terms and conditions as herein contained, excepting provisions for renewal (if any) and leasehold improvement allowance (if any) contained herein, and nothing, including the acceptance of any Rent by the Landlord, for periods other than monthly periods, shall extend this Lease to the contrary, except an agreement in writing between the Landlord and the Tenant, and the Tenant hereby authorizes the Landlord to apply any moneys received from the Tenant in payment of such monthly Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Tenant shall hold over after the expiration of the Term and the Landlord shall desire to regain possession of the Leased Premises promptly at the expiration of the Term, then the Landlord, at its sole option, may forthwith re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises by any legal process in accordance with “Applicable Law” (as hereinafter defined), and Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all notices to cure or vacate or to quit the Leased Premises provided by current or future Applicable Law (except for those notices specifically outlined in this Lease).

All other terms and conditions of this Lease shall, however, remain in full force and effect during the Basic Rent Free Period and thereafter including without limitation the payment of Additional Rent”

 

Additional
Rent

 

(b)           The Tenant shall, without deduction or right of offset pay to the Landlord (except as otherwise expressly provided herein), yearly and every year during the Term, as additional rental (herein called “Additional Rent”):

 

(i)            The amounts of any Taxes payable by the Tenant to the Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Schedule “C” attached hereto; and

 

(ii)           The amounts required to be paid to the Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Schedule “D” attached hereto.

 

Payment -
Additional Rent

 

(c)           Additional Rent shall be paid and adjusted with reference to a fiscal period of twelve (12) calendar months (“Fiscal Period”), which shall be a calendar year unless the Landlord shall from time to time have selected a Fiscal Period which is not a calendar year by written notice to the Tenant.

 

The Landlord shall advise the Tenant in writing of its estimate of the Additional Rent to be payable by the Tenant during the Fiscal Period (or broken portion of the Fiscal Period, as the case may be, if applicable at the commencement or end of the Term or because of a change in Fiscal Period) which commenced upon the Commencement Date of the Term and for each succeeding Fiscal Period or broken portion thereof which commences during the Term. Such estimate shall in every case be a reasonable estimate and, if requested by the Tenant, shall be accompanied by reasonable particulars of the manner in which it was calculated. The Additional Rent payable by the Tenant shall be paid in equal monthly installments in advance at the same time as payment of Basic Rent is due hereunder based on the Landlord’s estimate as aforesaid. From time to time, the Landlord may re-estimate, on a reasonable basis, the amount of Additional Rent for any Fiscal Period or broken portion thereof, in which case the Landlord shall advise the Tenant in writing of such re-estimate and fix new equal monthly installments for the remaining balance of such Fiscal Period or broken portion thereof. After the end of each such Fiscal Period or broken portion

 

 

 

 

 

INITIAL

thereof the Landlord shall provide the Tenant with a statement of the actual Additional Rent payable in respect of such Fiscal Period or broken portion thereof and a calculation of the amounts by which the Additional Rent payable by the Tenant exceeds or is less than (as the case may be) the aggregate installments paid by the Tenant on account of Additional Rent for such Fiscal Period. The Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to furnish statement of the actual Additional Rent payable in respect of such Fiscal Period on or before June 1 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year to which the statement applies (provided that failure to so delivery such statement on or before June 1 shall in no event be deemed a default or beach of this Lease by the Landlord and in such event the Landlord shall not be deemed to have waived its right tender such statement to, and collect amounts due thereunder from, the Tenant. Within thirty (30) days after the submission of such statement either the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord any amount by which the amount found payable by the Tenant with respect to such Fiscal Period or broken portion thereof exceeds the aggregate of the monthly payments made by it on account thereof during such Fiscal Period or broken portion thereof, or the Landlord shall pay to the Tenant any amount by which the amount found payable as aforesaid is less than the aggregate of such monthly payments.

 

If the Landlord fails to furnish Tenant a statement of the actual Additional Rent payable in respect of such Fiscal Period for a given calendar year within twenty-four (24) months after the end of said calendar year and such failure continues for an additional 30 days after the Landlord’s receipt of a written request from the Tenant that such statement of the actual Additional Rent payable in respect of such Fiscal Period be furnished, the Landlord shall be deemed to have waived any rights to recover any underpayment of Operating Costs from the Tenant applicable to said calendar year (except to the extent such underpayment is attributable to a default by Tenant in its obligation to make estimated payments of Operating Costs), and Tenant shall be deemed to have waived any credit regarding overpayment of Operating Costs by the Tenant; provided that such twenty-four (24) month time limit shall not apply to supplemental real property tax bills or other Taxes. Further, in no event shall the foregoing provision describing the time period during which Landlord is to deliver the statement of actual costs in any manner limit or otherwise prejudice Landlord’s right to modify such statement of actual costs after such time period if new, additional or different information relating to such statement of actual costs is discovered or otherwise determined.

 

Recovery
of Rent

 

(d)           In this Lease, “Rent” and/or “rent” means all amounts required to be paid by the Tenant pursuant to this Lease, including, without limitation, Basic Rent and Additional Rent.

 

Accrual
of Rent

 

(e)           Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be considered as accruing from day to day, and for an irregular period of less than one year or less than one calendar month shall be apportioned and adjusted by the Landlord for the Fiscal Periods of the Landlord in which the tenancy created hereby commences and expires. Where the calculation of actual Additional Rent for a period cannot be made until after the termination of this Lease, the obligation of the Tenant to pay Additional Rent and of the Landlord to refund any overpayment by the Tenant as set forth in this Lease shall survive the termination hereof and Additional Rent for such period shall be payable by the Tenant within thirty (30) days following written demand therefor by the Landlord, or such refund of any overpayment of Additional Rent by Tenant shall be payable within thirty (30) days after the later of (i) the Landlord’s calculation of the actual Additional Rent, and (ii) the Tenant’s cure of any outstanding defaults or breaches of this Lease. If the Term commences or expires on any day other than the first or the last day of a month, Basic Rent and Additional Rent for such fraction of a month shall be apportioned and adjusted as aforesaid and paid by the Tenant on the commencement date of the Term.

 

Limitations

 

(f)            The information set out in statements, documents or other writings setting out the amount of Additional Rent submitted to the Tenant under or pursuant to this Lease shall be binding on the Tenant and deemed to be accepted by it and shall not be subject to amendment for any reason unless the Tenant gives written notice (the “Dispute Notice”) to the Landlord within ninety (90) days of the Landlord’s submission of such statement, document, or writing identifying the statement, document, or writing. The Dispute Notice shall set out in reasonable detail the reason why such statement, document or writing is in error or otherwise should not be binding on the Tenant and that the Tenant intends to review the Landlord’s books and records of such Additional Rent for the calendar year to which the statement applies. If the Tenant so disputes the amount of the Additional Rent as aforesaid, and if such dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the Tenant delivers the Dispute Notice to the Landlord, then Landlord shall make all pertinent records available for inspection that are reasonably necessary for Tenant to conduct its review. If immediately following the expiration of the Base Year the Tenant did not provide a Dispute Notice and thereafter

 

 

 

 

 

INITIAL

review the Landlord’s pertinent records applicable to the Base Year pursuant to this Section 3(f), and if the Tenant provides to the Landlord a Dispute Notice for a Lease Year other than the Base Year in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease, the Tenant may, by electing in writing to do so in such Dispute Notice and together with the Tenant first (1st) Dispute Notice provided under this Lease, elect to also review the Landlord’s pertinent records for the Base Year, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in this Lease. If any records are maintained at a location other than the management office for the Building, the Tenant may either inspect the records at such other location or pay for the reasonable cost of copying and shipping the records. If the Tenant retains an agent to review the Landlord’s records, the agent must be with a CPA firm licensed to do business in the state or commonwealth where the Building is located. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Landlord agrees that the Tenant may retain a third party agent to review the Landlord’s pertinent records in accordance with this Section 3(f) which third party agent is not a CPA firm, so long as the third party agent retained by the Tenant shall have expertise in and familiarity with general industry practice with respect to the operation of and accounting for a first class office building and whose compensation shall in no way be contingent upon or correspond to the financial impact on the Tenant resulting from the review and further provided that such third-party auditor be acceptable to the Landlord. Subject to the terms and conditions of this paragraph, the Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs, expenses and fees incurred for the review. Within 60 days after the records are made available to the Tenant, the Tenant shall have the right to give the Landlord written notice (an “Objection Notice”) stating in reasonable detail any objection to the Landlord’s statement of actual Additional Rent for that year. If the Tenant fails to give the Landlord an Objection Notice within the 60 day period or fails to provide the Landlord with a Dispute Notice within the 90 day period described above, the Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Landlord’s statement of actual Additional Rent and shall be barred from raising any claims regarding the Additional Rent for that year. If Tenant provides Landlord with a timely Objection Notice, the Landlord and the Tenant shall work together in good faith to resolve any issues raised in the Tenant’s Objection Notice. If the Landlord and the Tenant determine that Additional Rent for the calendar year is less than reported, the Landlord shall provide the Tenant with a credit against the next installment of Additional Rent in the amount of the overpayment by the Tenant. Likewise, if the Landlord and the Tenant determine that Additional Rent for the calendar year is greater than reported, the Tenant shall pay the Landlord the amount of any underpayment within 30 days. The records obtained by the Tenant shall be treated as confidential. In no event shall the Tenant be permitted to examine the Landlord’s records or to dispute any statement of Additional Rent unless the Tenant has paid and continues to pay all Rent and other sums payable by the Tenant hereunder when due.

 

The cost of Tenant’s review of Landlord’s books and records shall be paid by the Tenant as rent hereunder unless the amount of Additional Rent payable by the Tenant as set forth in such audited financial statement is at least four percent (4%) less than the amount of Additional Rent demanded by the Landlord in accordance with the statement delivered to the Tenant pursuant to Section 3(c) above.

 

4. SECURITY DEPOSIT

 

As of the Effective Date and thereafter, the Tenant shall tender to the Landlord and the Landlord shall hold the “Security Deposit” of Twenty-Two Thousand Six Hundred Thirty-Four and 42/100 Dollars ($22,634.42) and Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord shall continue to hold this Security Deposit as security for the payment by Tenant of any and all present and future debts and liabilities of Tenant to Landlord under this Lease and for the performance by Tenant of all of its obligations hereunder (collectively, the “Debts, Liabilities and Obligations”), as may be held, used and/or applied by Landlord hereunder. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds. In the event of the Landlord disposing of its interest in this Lease, the Landlord shall credit the Security Deposit to its successor and thereupon shall have no liability to the Tenant to repay the Security Deposit to the Tenant so long as such successor agrees to recognize such Security Deposit and Tenant’s right to collect the same from Landlord to the extent provided in this Lease. Subject to the foregoing, Landlord shall repay the Security Deposit to the Tenant without interest on the later of (i) at the end of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease; (ii) the Tenant’s tender of the Lease Premises to the Landlord in the condition required by the terms and conditions of this Lease, and (ii) following the Tenant’s cure of any breach or default of this Lease, including the payment in full of all Debts, Liabilities and Obligations of the Tenant.

Assignment or
Subletting

Procedures

 

(b)           The Tenant shall not effect a Transfer unless:

 

(i)            It shall have received or procured a bona fide written offer to take an assignment or sublease, which is consistent with this Lease, and the acceptance of which would not breach any provision of this Lease if this Paragraph/Section is complied with, and which the Tenant has determined to accept subject to this Paragraph being complied with, and

Excess Transfer
Rent

 

(c)                             In the event the Landlord consents to any Transfer, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord, as and when amounts on account are due or paid by the Transferee to the Tenant, fifty percent (50%) of the excess Transfer rents (hereinafter called the “Excess Transfer Rent”), if any, as Rent.

With ten (10) days of the Landlord’s request, the Tenant shall deliver to the Landlord all documents and materials relevant and/or reasonably related to any transfer of shares in the Tenant or issuance of shares in the Tenant in order for the Landlord to determine whether or not a change in the effective voting control of the Tenant occurred.

(i)                           Tenant shall have failed to pay an installment of Rent or any other amount payable hereunder when due, and such failure shall be continuing for a period of more than three (3) days after written notice that such payment was not made when due, but if any such notice shall be given, for the twelve (12) month period commencing with the date of such notice, the failure to pay within three (3) days after due any additional sum of money becoming due to be paid to Landlord under this Lease during such period shall be an event of default, without notice.

(ii)                        There shall be a default of or with any condition, covenant, agreement or other obligation on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed or performed hereunder (other than the obligation to pay Rent or any other amount of money) and such default shall be continuing for a period of more than thirty (30) days after written notice by Landlord to Tenant specifying the default and requiring that it be cured unless the nature of the default is such that cure will reasonably require a longer period of time (not to exceed 120 days), in which case the Tenant shall not be in default hereunder if the Tenant promptly commences a cure (and in any event within such thirty (30) day period) and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion;

 

(iii)                     If any policy of insurance upon the Property or any part thereof from time to time effected by Landlord shall be canceled or is about to be canceled by the insurer by reason of the use or occupation of the Leased Premises by Tenant or any assignee, sub-tenant or licensee of Tenant or anyone permitted by Tenant to be upon the Leased Premises and Tenant after receipt of notice in writing from Landlord shall have failed to take such immediate steps in respect of such use or occupation as shall enable Landlord to reinstate or avoid cancellation (as the case may be) of such policy of insurance;

 

(iv)                    The Leased Premises shall, without the prior written consent of Landlord, be used by any other persons than Tenant or a permitted Transferee or for any purpose other than that for which they were leased or occupied or by any persons whose occupancy is prohibited by this Lease;

(vi)                    The balance of the Term of this Lease or any of the goods and chattels of Tenant located in the Leased Premises, shall at any time be seized in execution or attachment; and/or

then Landlord, subject to Applicable Laws, shall have the following rights and remedies, all of which are cumulative and not alternative, and not to the exclusion of any other or additional rights and remedies in law or equity, or both, available to Landlord by statute or otherwise:

 

(A)                To remedy or attempt to remedy any default of the Tenant, and in so doing to make any payments due or alleged to be due by the Tenant to third parties (including, without limitation, payments due to any contractor, workman, material and/or service suppliers performing any work in or for the Leased Premises), and to enter upon the Leased Premises to do any work or other things therein, and in such event all reasonable expenses of the Landlord in remedying or attempting to curing such default shall be payable by the Tenant to the Landlord within thirty (30) days after demand;

 

(B)                  With respect to unpaid overdue Rent, to the payment by the Tenant of the Rent and of interest (which said interest shall be deemed included herein in the term “Rent”) thereon at a rate (the “Interest Rate”) equal to the lesser of (1) three percent (3%) above the prime commercial loan rate

charged to borrowers having the highest credit rating from time to time by the Landlord’s principal bank from the date upon which the same was due until actual payment thereof, and (2) the maximum amount allowed under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Building is located;

 

(C)                  Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Leased 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 Leased Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Leased Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor, but in accordance with Applicable Law and thereafter Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:

 

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

 

(II)                           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

 

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

 

(IV)                       Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, specifically including, but not limited to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses reasonably incurred to remodel the Leased Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions reasonably incurred to obtain a new tenant; and

 

(V)                           At Landlord’s sole election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted, from time to time, by all Applicable Law.

 

As used in clauses (C)(1) and (C)(II) hereinabove, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate. As used in clause (C)(III) hereinabove, 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%).

 

(D)                 In the event of any breach by the Tenant of any of the covenants or provisions of this Lease, the Landlord shall also have the right of injunction and the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity, or both, and mention in this Lease of any particular remedy shall not preclude the Landlord from any other remedy at law or in equity, or both; and

 

(E)                   Pursue any remedy now or hereafter available under the laws or judicial decisions of the jurisdiction in which the Building is located (including, but not limited to, California Civil Code Section 1951.4 [where a landlord may continue a lease in effect after a tenant’s breach and recover rent as it becomes due, if the tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations]). The expiration and termination of this Lease and/or the termination of the Tenant’s right to possession shall not relieve the Tenant from liability under all of the indemnity provisions of the Lease as to matters occurring or accruing during the Term or by reason of the Tenant’s occupancy of the Leased Premises.

 

Attorneys’ Fees

 

(b)                            If either Landlord or Tenant, or both, brings an action or proceeding to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the “prevailing party” (as hereinafter defined) in any such proceeding, action or appeal thereon, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, and court costs. Such fees and costs may be awarded in the same suit or recovered in a separate suit, whether or not such action or proceeding is pursued to decision, judgment, settlement or otherwise. The term “prevailing party” shall include, without limitation, either party hereto who substantially obtains or defeats the relief sought, as the case may be, whether by compromise, settlement, judgment or the abandonment by the other party of its claim or defense. The attorneys’ fees award shall not be computed in accordance with any court fee schedule, but shall be such as to fully reimburse all attorneys’ fees and costs, and court costs, reasonably incurred by the prevailing party.

Landlord Default

 

(c)                             The Landlord shall be in default under this Lease if (i) the Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder and said failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from the Tenant to the Landlord (provided that if such failure cannot reasonably be cured within said thirty (30) day period, the Landlord shall be in default hereunder only if Landlord fails to commence the cure of said failure within said thirty (30) day period, or having commenced the curative action within said thirty (30) day period, fails to diligently pursue same) and (ii) each mortgagee of whose identity the Tenant has been notified in writing shall have failed to cure such default within thirty (30) days (or such longer period of time as may be specified in any written agreement between the Tenant and mortgagee regarding such matter) after receipt of written notice from the Tenant of the Landlord’s failure to cure within the time periods provided above. In the event of a default by the Landlord under the Lease, the Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages and losses arising from any such default and the Tenant may pursue any and all remedies available to it at law or in equity, provided, however, in no event shall the Tenant claim a constructive or actual eviction or that the Leased Premises have become unsuitable or unhabitable prior to a default and failure to cure by the Landlord and its mortgagee under this Lease and, further provided, in no event shall the Tenant be entitled to receive more than its actual direct damages, it being agreed that the Tenant hereby waives any claim it otherwise may have for special or consequential damages.

Waiver

 

17.                            If either the Landlord or the Tenant shall overlook, excuse, condone or suffer any default, breach, non-observance, improper compliance or non-compliance by the other of any obligation hereunder, this shall not operate as a waiver of such obligation in respect of any continuing or subsequent default, breach, or non-observance, and no such waiver shall be implied but shall only be effective if expressed in writing.

SCHEDULE “B”

 

(Measurement of Rentable Area)

 

Single Tenant Floor:

 

The “Rentable Area” of a single tenant floor shall be computed by measuring from the inside finish of the permanent outer Building walls or from the glass line in accordance with the standards of the Building established by the Landlord. Rentable Area shall include all areas within outside walls or glass line less stairs (but including stair landings where they provide access to washrooms, storage rooms, etc.), elevator shafts, flues, pipe shafts, vertical ducts, and their enclosing walls. Washrooms, janitor rooms, on-floor storage rooms, telephone rooms, electrical closets shall be included in the Rentable Area. Where the space on both sides of a wall is Rentable Area, the wall is to be included in the Rentable Area. No deductions shall be made for columns and projections necessary to the Building.

 

Multi-Tenant Floor:

 

The Rentable Area of a multi-tenant floor tenant shall be computed by multiplying such portion of the Usable Area (as set out below) allocated to the multi-tenant floor tenant by the ratio of the total Rentable Area of the floor to the total Usable Area of the floor.

 

The “Usable Area” of a multi-tenant floor is the Rentable Area of a single tenant floor less the area of the Normal Corridor (as set out below), washrooms, janitor closets, telephone rooms, electrical closets, air conditioning rooms and their enclosing walls.

 

The Usable Area of the multi-tenant floor tenant shall be computed by measuring from the inside finish of the permanent outer Building Wall or from the glass line to the Usable Area side of the Normal Corridor and/or other permanent partitions and to the center line of partitions which demise tenant areas.

 

The “Normal Corridor” is the minimum corridor permitted by the applicable code, yet practical for leasing purposes. For example, although the code may permit a 42 inch wide corridor, for aesthetic reasons or because of grid restrictions, the corridor might well be 4’6” or 5’0” wide. Once the corridor dimensions have been established they shall remain unchanged and marked on the master plan showing all dimensions used to calculate Rentable Area and Usable Area.

 

The ground floor is measured as Usable Area.

 

If the Normal Corridor is extended to provide a multi-tenant floor tenant access to its space, the area of the corridor extension is included in that tenant’s Usable Area or allocated proportionately to the multi-tenant floor tenants benefiting from the extension of the Normal Corridor.

Taxes Payable by Landlord and Tenant

 

Tenant’s Taxes

 

1.           (a)           The Tenant covenants to pay all Tenant’s Taxes (as defined below), prior to delinquency.

Where any Tenant’s Taxes are payable by the Landlord to the relevant taxing authorities, the Tenant covenants to pay the amount thereof to the Landlord.

 

(b)           The Tenant covenants to pay the Landlord the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the excess of the amount of the Landlord’s Taxes (as defined below) in each Fiscal Period over the Landlord’s Taxes in the “Base Year” (as hereinafter defined).

 

(c)           The Tenant covenants to pay to the Landlord the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the actual and out of pocket costs and expenses (including legal and other professional fees and interest and penalties on deferred payments) incurred in good faith by the Landlord in contesting, resisting or appealing any of the Taxes. In the event that during the Term Landlord receives any Tax credit or Tax rebate from any public authority with respect to the Leased Premises to the extent applicable to the Term and of which Tenant has paid Tenant’s Proportionate Share, Tenant shall be entitled to a rent credit or, at Landlord’s option, refund of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such Tax credit or Tax rebate after first deducting any of Landlord’s costs and expenses in obtaining such Tax credit or Tax rebate. Such rent credit or refund, at Landlord’s option, shall be credited against future installments of additional rent or refunded to Tenant within forty-five (45) days of Landlord’s receipt of the Tax credit or Tax rebate.

 

Landlord’s Taxes

 

(d)        The Landlord covenants to pay all Landlord’s Taxes subject to the payments on account of Landlord’s Taxes required to be made by the Tenant elsewhere in this Lease. The Landlord may appeal any official assessment or the amount of any Taxes or other taxes based on such assessment and relating to the Property. In connection with any such appeal, the Landlord may defer payment of any Taxes or other taxes, as the case may be, payable by it to the extent permitted by law, and the Tenant shall co-operate with the Landlord and provide the Landlord with all relevant information reasonably required by the Landlord in connection with any such appeal. For purposes of determining total “Taxes” hereunder and Tenant’s liability to contribute thereto, Taxes shall exclude any fines or penalties incurred by Landlord as a result of any such appeal.

 

Separate Allocation

 

(e)        In the event that the Landlord is unable to obtain from the taxing authorities any separate allocation of Landlord’s Taxes, Tenant’s Taxes or assessment as required by the Landlord to make calculations of Additional Rent under this Lease, such allocation shall be made by the Landlord acting reasonably and in good faith and shall be conclusive.

 

Information

 

(f)         Whenever requested by the Landlord, the Tenant shall deliver to it receipts for payment of all the Tenant’s Taxes and furnish such other information in connection therewith as the Landlord may reasonably require.

 

Tax Adjustment

 

(g)        If the Building has not been taxed as a completed and fully occupied building for any Fiscal Period, the Landlord’s Taxes will be determined by the Landlord as if the Building had been taxed as a completed building fully occupied by commercial tenants for any such Fiscal Period.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, the amount of Taxes for the Base Year and any subsequent year of the Term of this Lease shall be calculated without taking into account any decreases in real estate taxes obtained in connection with Proposition 8 (Revenue and Taxation Code section 51), and, therefore, Taxes in the Base Year and/or any subsequent year of the Term may be greater than those actually incurred by Landlord, but shall, nonetheless, be the amount of Taxes for purposes of this Lease, and tax refunds under Proposition 8 shall not be deducted from Taxes, but rather shall be the sole property of Landlord. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that this paragraph is not intended to in any way affect the inclusion in Taxes of the statutory 2% annual increase imposed by the county Assessor’s Office (as such statutory increase may be modified by subsequent legislation).

Landlord shall have the sole right to furnish said electricity but the Tenant shall pay for its use of such separately metered electricity;

 

(b)        The amount of electricity consumed on the Leased Premises in excess of electricity reasonably required by the Tenant for normal office use shall be as determined by the Landlord acting reasonably or by a sub metering device for energy allocation purposes to be installed by the Tenant at the Tenant’s expense.

(d)        In calculating electricity costs for any Fiscal Period, if less than one hundred percent (100%) of Building is occupied by tenants, then the amount of such electricity costs shall be deemed for the purposes of this Schedule to be increased to an amount equal to the like electricity costs which normally would be expected by the Landlord to have been incurred had such occupancy been one hundred percent (100%) during such entire period.

The Tenant shall not make, erect, install or alter any Leasehold Improvements in the Leased Premises without having requested and obtained the Landlord’s prior written approval. The Landlord’s approval shall not, if given, under any circumstances be construed as a consent to the Landlord having its estate charged with the cost of work. The Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its approval to any such request, but failure to comply with the Landlord’s reasonable requirements from time to time for the Building shall be considered sufficient reason for refusal. In making, erecting, installing or altering any Leasehold Improvements the Tenant shall not, without the prior written approval of the Landlord, alter or interfere with any installations which have been made by the Landlord or others and in no event shall alter or interfere with window coverings (if any) or other light control devices (if any) installed in the Building. The Tenant’s request for any approval hereunder shall be in writing and accompanied by an adequate description of the contemplated work and, where considered appropriate by the Landlord, working drawings and specifications thereof. If the Tenant requires from the Landlord drawings or specifications of the Building in connection with the Leasehold Improvements, the Tenant shall pay the actual cost thereof to the Landlord within ten (10) business days after Tenant’s receipt of a written demand therefor. Any reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Landlord in connection with the Tenant’s Leasehold Improvements shall be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord within ten (10) business days after Tenant’s receipt of a written demand therefor. All work to be performed in the Leased Premises shall be performed by competent and adequately insured contractors and sub-contractors of whom the Landlord shall have approved in writing prior to commencement of any work, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld (except that the Landlord may require that the Landlord’s contractors and sub-contractors be engaged for any mechanical or electrical work provided the same are competitively priced and reasonably available) and by workmen who have labor union affiliations that are compatible with those affiliations (if any) of workmen employed by the Landlord and its contractors and sub-contractors. All such work including the delivery, storage and removal of materials shall be subject to the reasonable supervision of the Landlord, shall be performed in accordance with any reasonable conditions or regulations imposed by the Landlord including, without limitation, payment on demand of a reasonable fee of the Landlord for such supervision (not to exceed three percent (3%) of the total cost of the work) (“the Supervision Fee”), and shall be completed in good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the description of the work approved by the Landlord and in accordance with all laws, regulations and by-laws of all regulatory authorities. Copies of required building permits or authorizations shall be obtained by the Tenant at its expense and copies thereof shall be provided to the Landlord. If the Tenant undertakes Leasehold Improvements, upon completion of such Leasehold Improvements the Tenant shall supply to the Landlord complete “As-Built” drawings representing Leasehold Improvements installed and, if applicable, an engineer approved air balance report. No locks shall be installed on the entrance doors or in any doors in the Leased Premises that are not keyed to the Building master key system. Tenant shall not be required to pay to Landlord a Supervision Fee in connection with Landlord’s Work performed in the Leased Premises.

Tenant will not create any mortgage, conditional sale agreement or other encumbrance in respect of its Leasehold Improvements or, without the written consent of the Landlord, with respect to its trade fixtures nor shall the Tenant take any action as a consequence of which any such mortgage, conditional sale agreement or other encumbrance would attach to the Property or any part thereof. If and whenever any construction or other lien for work, labor, services or materials supplied to or for the Tenant or for the cost of which the Tenant may be in any way liable or claims therefore shall arise or be filed or any such mortgage, conditional sale agreement or other encumbrance shall attach, the Tenant shall within twenty (20) days after submission by the Landlord of notice thereof procure the discharge thereof, including any certificate of action registered in respect of any lien, by payment or giving security or in such other manner as may be required or permitted by law, and failing which the Landlord may avail itself of any of its remedies hereunder for default of the Tenant and may make any payments or take any steps or proceedings required to procure the discharge of any such liens or encumbrances, and shall be entitled to be repaid by the Tenant on demand for any such payments and to be paid on demand by the Tenant for all costs and expenses in connection with steps or proceedings taken by the Landlord and the Landlord’s right to reimbursement and to payment shall not be affected or impaired if the Tenant shall then or subsequently establish or claim that any lien or encumbrances so discharged was without merit or excessive or subject to any abatement, set-off or defense.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and otherwise in accordance with this Paragraph 4, Tenant shall be required to remove all Leasehold Improvements made to the Leased Premises except for any such Leasehold Improvements which Landlord expressly indicates or is deemed to have indicated shall not be required to be removed from the Leased Premises by Tenant. If Tenant’s written notice strictly complies with the foregoing and if Landlord fails to notify Tenant within twenty (20) days of Landlord’s receipt of such notice whether Tenant shall be required to remove the subject Leasehold Improvements at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, it shall be assumed that Landlord shall require the removal of the subject Leasehold Improvements.

The Tenant shall, in the case of every removal, make good at the expense of the Tenant any damage caused to the Property by the installation and removal. In the event of the non-removal by the end of the Term, or sooner termination of this Lease, of such trade fixtures or Leasehold Improvements required by the Landlord of the Tenant to be removed, the Landlord shall have the option, in addition to its other remedies under this Lease to declare to the Tenant that such trade fixtures are the property of the Landlord and the Landlord upon such a declaration may dispose of such trade fixtures and retain any proceeds of disposition

5.           (a)       Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that Landlord will construct and complete, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense (except as otherwise expressly provided herein), certain improvements in the Leased Premises (collectively, the “Landlord’s Work”), which shall be a part of the Leasehold Improvements, and shall be designed, permitted and constructed pursuant to the “Space Plan” (as hereinafter defined) but in accordance with the following:

 

(i)           Landlord has delivered to Tenant a space plan prepared by Huntsman Architectural Group (“Landlord’s Architect”) dated November 10, 2011 as Project or Job No 03.085.01 SK-4 (the “Space Plan”), which shows the basic configuration of the Landlord’s Work in the Leased Premises, and which Space Plan has been reviewed and approved by both Landlord and Tenant concurrent with their execution of this Lease. At the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, the Tenant shall not be required to remove from the Leased Premises the Landlord’s Work; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove (and restore the Building to the condition existing prior to installation of the same, subject to normal wear and tear) any security system installed by or on behalf of Tenant, any supplemental HVAC equipment installed at or servicing the Leased Premises and any wiring and cabling installed at or servicing the Leased Premises. Based upon the Space Plan, Landlord shall cause Landlord’s Architect to prepare and deliver to Tenant the final working drawings and specifications for the Landlord’s Work, which shall include telephone, electrical, plumbing and air-conditioning specifications, and all floor coverings, wall coverings, window coverings, paint, cabinetry and sprinkler layouts and any other life safety requirements, if any (collective, the “Final Plans”). Within ten (10) business days after the date Tenant receives the Final Plans from Landlord, Tenant shall either approve or disapprove the Final Plans, in writing, delivered to Landlord, noting with reasonable particularity any changes or corrections therein. If Tenant makes any changes or corrections to the Final Plans, Landlord’s Architect shall resubmit the revised Final Plans to Tenant within three (3) business days after receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s changes or corrections and, thereafter, Tenant shall either approve or disapprove the revised Final Plans within three (3) business days after Tenant receives same, in writing, delivered to Landlord and noting with reasonable particularity any further changes or corrections by Tenant therein. All costs to Tenant in reviewing and revising the Space Plan and the Final Plans shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. Tenant’s failure to timely respond shall be deemed Tenant’s approval of the Final Plans.

 

(ii)        Following Landlord’s approval of the Final Plans, Landlord shall contract with a general contractor to construct and complete the Landlord’s Work in the Leased Premises. After selection of the general contractor. Landlord will enter into a construction contract with such general contractor for the Landlord’s Work, and thereafter, Landlord will cause either Landlord’s Architect or the general contractor, or both, to apply for the required permits and approvals to construct the Landlord’s Work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Landlord shall segregate Landlord’s Work from Landlord’s Work for the bidding process.

 

(iii)       Following Landlord’s receipt of the required permits and approvals above, Landlord’s general contractor shall diligently pursue the construction of the Landlord’s Work, subject to Paragraph 5(b)(iv) below, except to the extent that completion is delayed as a result of Tenant’s request for any “Changes” (as hereinafter defined) and/or the construction of such Changes, if any, by Landlord or any “Tenant Delays” (as hereinafter defined) and/or events of force majeure hereunder or under Section 16 of this Lease.

 

(iv)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Paragraph 2 of the Lease, the “Commencement Date” of the Term shall be defined as, and shall be conclusively deemed to occur on, the later of: (i) the date Landlord substantially completes the Landlord’s Work in the Leased Premises, and Landlord tenders exclusive possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant, excluding any minor items (e.g., “punch-list” type items) which can be completed by Landlord with only minor interference to the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Leased Premises (which Landlord will complete, using Landlord’s commercially reasonable efforts, as soon as reasonably practicable

after the Commencement Date and with no material interruption to the operation of Tenant’s business therein) and (ii) the date Landlord receives from the appropriate governmental authorities, with respect to the Landlord’s Work performed by Landlord or its contractors in the Leased Premises, all approvals necessary for the occupancy of the Leased Premises. Once the Commencement Date is determined, Landlord and Tenant agree to confirm such date in a written letter agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Lease.

 

(v)        If Tenant requests any change to the Final Plans after Tenant’s approval of same and/or any change in Landlord’s construction of the Landlord’s Work (collectively, “Changes”), within five (5) business days of Landlord’s receipt of such written request by Tenant along with any reasonable supporting documentation reasonably requested by Landlord to enable Landlord to properly analyze the requested Change, Landlord shall estimate (A) the costs and expenses for such Changes, and (B) the resulting delay in the completion of the Landlord’s Work. Within five (5) business days after Tenant’s receipt of such written estimate from Landlord, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice indicating whether or not Tenant elects to proceed with any such Changes. If Tenant elects to proceed with such Changes, and if Landlord has reasonably approved such Changes, Landlord will make such Changes to the Landlord’s Work. If Tenant elects not to proceed with such Changes or fails to timely notify Landlord of Tenant’s election within such five (5) business day period, Landlord shall complete the Landlord’s Work without making such Changes. Landlord shall not be responsible, in any manner whatsoever, for any delay caused by Tenant’s request for such Changes and/or the construction of such Changes hereunder. All costs related to any work other than the Tenant Work, and costs for the Changes hereunder, plus any applicable sales tax thereon, if any, shall be paid for by Tenant to Landlord as Rent under the Lease within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s written demand therefor.

 

(vi)       In addition to Section 16 of this Lease, and if the performance by Landlord of any act required herein or elsewhere under this Lease is prevented or delayed by reason of acts of God, fires, floods, earthquakes, weather and/or epidemics, then Landlord shall be excused from performance for the time period equal to the time period of the prevention or delay.

 

(vii)      To the extent that the Commencement Date has not occurred because Landlord was delayed in substantially completing the Landlord’s Work as a result of any one (1) or more of the following (collectively, “Tenant Delays”): Tenant’s failure to complete any item on or before the due date, which is the responsibility of Tenant to complete or perform; Tenant’s request for Changes or the construction of such Changes by Landlord; Tenant’s request for materials, finishes or installations other than those Building-standard finishes normally provided by Landlord, as may be changed by Landlord from time to time; any delay by Tenant in making any payment to Landlord; and/or any act or failure to act by Tenant and/or Tenant’s employees, agents, architects, independent contractors, consultants and/or any other persons performing, or required to perform, services on behalf of Tenant or other interference with Landlord’s ability to timely complete the Landlord’s Work. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a reasonably detailed statement of the net number of days of Tenant Delays and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Rent under this Lease, the product of the per diem monthly Basic Rent payable by Tenant for the Leased Premises multiplied by the number of days that such Tenant Delays caused the Commencement Date to be delayed, with such payment to be made by Tenant to Landlord concurrent with Tenant’s next monthly payment of Basic Rent under this Lease.

 

(viii)     As and when noticed by Landlord, in writing, to Tenant, Landlord agrees that Tenant may enter the Leased Premises seven (7) days prior to Landlord’s substantial completion the Landlord’s Work in order to install Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment, furniture and other personal property therein and to perform certain Leasehold improvements in the Leased Premises approved by Landlord and subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease, including, without limitation, this Schedule “F” (collectively, “Tenant’s Early Entry Work”). Such entry right shall be in conjunction with Landlord’s unimpeded right to construct the Landlord’s Work, if any. Should Tenant elect to enter the Leased Premises hereunder to complete Tenant’s Early Entry Work, it is hereby agreed that Tenant, together with Tenant’s employees, agents, independent contractors,

suppliers and any other persons under Tenant’s control (collectively, “Tenant’s Personnel”), installing Tenant’s Early Entry Work, will be subject to, and shall work under the direction of, Landlord and Landlord’s general contractor. If, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, the presence of Tenant’s Personnel and the work that is being performed by Tenant’s Personnel will interfere with Landlord’s construction of (or shall detrimentally affect Landlord’s ability to comply with Landlord’s commitment for completing) the Landlord’s Work, if any, or any other work therein or cause any labor and/or union difficulties, Landlord shall have the right to order any or all of Tenant’s Early Entry Work to cease upon twenty-four (24) hours’ prior ‘written notice to Tenant, and Tenant shall have Tenant’s Personnel immediately remove from the Leased Premises all tools, equipment and materials therefrom. If Tenant elects to exercise Tenant’s right of early entry hereunder, Tenant further agrees to: (a) pay for and provide certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of insurance required to be carried by Tenant and Tenant’s Personnel, and otherwise comply with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease; and (b) comply with all Applicable Laws regarding Tenant’s Early Entry Work. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Tenant’s early entry into the Leased Premises for the purposes of completing Tenant’s Early Entry Work, if at all, shall not be deemed a taking of possession of the Leased Premises by Tenant for the purposes of setting the Commencement Date.

Option to Renew

 

(a)           The Landlord covenants with the Tenant that if the Tenant duly and regularly pays the Rent and any and all amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Lease and performs each and every covenant, proviso and agreement on the part of the Tenant to be paid, rendered, observed and performed herein, the Landlord will at the expiration of the then expiring term on written notice by the Tenant to the Landlord given by the Tenant not more than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the then expiring term and received by the Landlord not less than ten (10) months prior to the expiration of the then expiring term grant to the Tenant a one (1) five (5) year renewal of lease of the Leased Premises (the “Renewal Term”) on the same terms and conditions as in the Lease (except as expressly provided herein), at the commencement of the Renewal Term, being used by the Landlord for the Building save and except the right of further renewal, Landlord’s Work (if any), Basic Rent, tenant improvement allowance (if any) and any abated rent or other such concessions (if any).

 

(b)           The Basic Rent for the Renewal Term shall be determined by negotiations between the parties hereto, and it is agreed that during such negotiations in respect of Basic Rent, they will be guided by fair market rental levels (either fixed or escalating during the said Renewal Term) as would then be charged by landlords entering into leases having similar terms and conditions as contained herein and for similar premises in similar buildings in the Financial District of San Francisco (the “Fair Market Rental Rate”).

 

If after good faith, reasonable efforts, the parties hereto are unable to agree in writing as to the Basic Rent for the Renewal Term prior to ninety (90) days before the expiry of the Lease, then each party’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate shall be submitted to appraisal in accordance with the following:

 

(i)         Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one independent appraiser who shall by profession be a real estate broker active over the previous five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of commercial office properties in the San Francisco Financial District. Each such appraiser shall be appointed within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to timely appoint an appraiser, at the other party’s request, JAMS/Endispute or an “Arbitrator” (as defined in clause (b)(v) below) shall appoint their or its appraiser.

 

(ii)        The two (2) appraisers so appointed shall, within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the last appraiser, agree upon and appoint a third appraiser who shall be qualified under the same criteria.

 

(iii)       The three (3) appraisers shall, within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the third appraiser, decide whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Rental Rate, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant in writing thereof. The appraisers’ determination shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Rental Rate for the Renewal Term is closest to the then-prevailing Fair Market Rental Rate, as determined by the appraisers taking into account the requirements set forth in this Schedule “H”. Such decision shall be based upon the projected, then-prevailing Fair Market Rental Rate as of the proposed commencement date of the Renewal Term.

 

(iv)       The three (3) appraisers’ majority decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant, without any right of appeal or objection, judicial or otherwise.

 

(v)        If the appraisers fail to agree upon and appoint a third appraiser, both appraisers shall be dismissed and the matter shall be submitted to arbitration under the provisions of JAMS/Endispute in San Francisco, California, with a determination to be made within thirty (30) days thereafter based upon the same procedures set forth above (i.e., by selecting either Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market Rental Rate only, as closest to the then-prevailing Fair Market Rental Rate). If JAMS/Endispute no longer exists, then the matter shall be settled by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator appointed pursuant to the Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect at the time of the arbitration (the “Rules”) and shall otherwise be conducted pursuant to such Rules. The “Arbitrator” shall be a lawyer or judge having at least twenty (20) years professional experience, and the arbitration shall be held in San Francisco, California, and be conducted in confidence and without public disclosure by the Arbitrator or any party or their representatives of any matters relevant to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on any arbitration award in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof.

 

(vi)       All costs of appraisal hereunder, and arbitration if necessary, shall be shared equally by the parties hereto.

 

(c)          The Tenant agrees to execute the Landlord’s standard lease amendment agreement then, at the commencement of the Renewal Term, being used by the Landlord for the Building to give effect to this Option to Renew if exercised by the Tenant. The Tenant shall execute such agreement prior to the commencement date of the Renewal Term.

(d)           Notwithstanding the above, if the Tenant does not exercise the Option to Renew in accordance with Schedule “H” then this Option to Renew is null and void.

 

(e)           The Tenant’s Option to Renew hereunder is personal to the Tenant and a Permitted Transferee following an assignment of the Lease and automatically expires on any Transfer or parting with possession of all or any part of the Leased Premises whether or not the same is with the consent of the Landlord.

Right Of First Offer To Lease

 

Tenant shall have the one-time right of first offer to lease certain additional space pursuant to the following provisions of this Schedule “I”.

 

(a)          Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the First Offer Space is vacant as of the date of this Lease. Following Landlord’s next leasing of the First Offer Space, Landlord shall deliver written notice to Tenant (“Landlord’s First Offer Notice”) at the time Landlord intends to offer to lease that certain space located contiguous to the Leased Premises comprising of approximately 3,202 rentable square feet and commonly known as Suite 825 (the “First Offer Space”). Landlord shall set forth in Landlord’s First Offer Notice the economic terms upon which Landlord would lease such First Offer Space described in Landlord’s First Offer Notice, including, without limitation, the following (collectively, the “Economic Terms”): (i) the anticipated date on which such First Offer Space will be available for lease by Tenant (including the anticipated date of vacation and surrender of such First Offer Space by the existing tenant thereof, if then leased) and the commencement date therefor; (ii) the tenant improvements and/or tenant improvement allowance to be provided by Landlord, if any, for such First Offer Space; (iii) the Base Rent per square foot of Rentable Area and Additional Rent to be paid for such First Offer Space; and (iv) the length of the term of the lease for such First Offer Space.

 

(b)         On or before the date which is five (5) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s First Offer Notice (the “Election Date”), Tenant shall deliver a written notice to Landlord (“Tenant’s Election Notice”) pursuant to which Tenant shall elect either to: (i) lease the entire First Offer Space identified by Landlord upon the Economic Terms set forth in Landlord’s First Offer Notice and the same non-Economic Terms as set forth in this Lease; or (ii) refuse to lease the First Offer Space, specifying that such refusal is based upon the Economic Terms in the First Offer Notice, in which event Tenant shall also specify revised Economic Terms upon which Tenant shall be willing to lease the First Offer Space; or (iii) refuse to lease such First Offer Space, in which event Tenant’s right of first offer set forth in this Schedule “I” shall thereupon automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect, and Landlord may thereafter lease all or any portion of such First Offer Space to any third party on any terms Landlord desires.

 

(c)          If Tenant does not deliver Tenant’s Election Notice to Landlord on or prior to the Election Date, then Tenant shall be deemed to have elected the option described in clause (iii) of Section (b) hereinabove.

 

(d)         If, however, Tenant timely delivers to Landlord the Tenant’s Election Notice as described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section (b) hereinabove in response to the initial Landlord’s First Offer Notice, then, in the case of clause (i): Tenant shall lease the First Offer Space identified by Landlord in the initial Landlord’s First Offer Notice upon the Economic Terms contained therein and the non-Economic Terms set forth in this Lease, or, in the case of clause (ii): Landlord may elect to lease the First Offer Space to Tenant upon such revised Economic Terms put forth by the Tenant and the same other non-Economic Terms set forth in this Lease.

 

(e)          If Tenant leases the First Offer Space pursuant to this Schedule “I”, then promptly following Tenant’s delivery of Tenant’s Election Notice electing to lease such applicable First Offer Space, the parties shall enter into a commercially reasonable form of amendment to this Lease, evidencing the addition of the applicable First Offer Space and the terms thereof according to this Lease and as part of the Leased Premises, as such amendment will be prepared by Landlord from Landlord’s commercially reasonable form then in use for the Building, and Landlord and Tenant shall execute such commercially reasonable amendment prior to the commencement date of the lease of any such First Offer Space.

 

(f)          This right of first offer granted by Landlord herein is personal to the original Tenant executing this Lease, and any Affiliate, and may only be exercised by the original Tenant and such Affiliate, but not by any other person or entity.

 

(g)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the Landlord’s next leasing of the First Offer Space (and before the offer right described in this Schedule “F” arises), the Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Tenant with notice at or about the time the Landlord enters into negotiations with a potential tenant for the First Offer Space. Such notice shall be provided only as a courtesy to the Tenant, and neither the Landlord nor the Tenant shall be obligated to enter into negotiations with the other party for such space, and the Landlord shall not be in default hereunder for any failure to provide such notice.

Asbestos Notification

 

PLEASE NOTE that asbestos and asbestos-containing materials (“ACMs”) were historically used in the construction of commercial buildings, like the Building herein, because of their beneficial qualities: ACMs are fire-resistant, and provide good noise and temperature insulation. Some common types of ACMs include surfacing materials (such as spray-on fireproofing, stucco, plaster and textured paint), flooring materials (such as vinyl floor tile and vinyl floor sheeting) and their associated mastics, carpet mastic, thermal system insulation (such as pipe or duct wrap, boiler wrap and cooling tower insulation), roofing materials, drywall, drywall joint tape and joint compound, acoustic ceiling tiles, transite board, base cove and associated mastic, caulking, window glazing and fire doors. These materials are not required under current Applicable Law to be removed from any building (except prior to demolition and certain renovation projects). Moreover, ACMs generally are not thought to present a threat to human health unless they cause a release of asbestos fibers into the air, which does not typically occurs unless the ACMs are in a deteriorated condition and/or have been significantly disturbed (such as through abrasive cleaning, maintenance and/or renovation activities).

 

PLEASE BE ADVISED that some of the various types of ACMs noted above (or other types) are present at various locations in the Building, including, without limitation, those ACMs described on Exhibit “I” attached to this Schedule “Q” and incorporated herein by this reference (but not, at this point in time, known by Landlord to be present in the Leased Premises). For information about the specific types and locations of these identified ACMs, please contact the Building Manager, who maintains records of the Building’s asbestos information, including asbestos surveys, sampling and abatement reports. This information is maintained as part of the Building’s on-going Asbestos Operations and Maintenance Plan (the “O&M Plan”).

 

The Building’s O&M Plan is designed to minimize the potential of any harmful asbestos exposure in the Building. Landlord hired an independent environmental assessment firm to prepare the Building’s O&M Plan, which plan includes a schedule of actions to be taken in order to (i) maintain any Building ACMs in good condition, and (ii) reasonably prevent any significant disturbance of such ACMs. Appropriate Landlord personnel receive regular periodic training on how to properly administer the O&M Plan.

 

The O&M Plan describes the risks associated with asbestos exposure and how to prevent such exposure, which risks, in general, are as follows: asbestos is not a significant health concern, unless asbestos fibers are released and inhaled. If inhaled, asbestos fibers can accumulate in the lungs and, as exposure increases, the risk increases. However, measures taken to minimize exposure and, consequently, minimize the accumulation of fibers, can reduce the risk of adverse health effects. The O&M Plan also describes a number of activities which should be avoided in order to prevent a release of asbestos fibers. In particular. some of the activities which may present a health risk (because those activities may cause an airborne release of asbestos fibers) include moving, drilling, boring and/or otherwise disturbing ACMs. Consequently, such activities should not be attempted by any person not qualified to handle ACMs, and furthermore, the written approval of the Building Manager must be obtained prior to engaging in any such activities.

 

PLEASE CONTACT THE BUILDING MANAGER FOR MORE INFORMATION IN THIS REGARD. A copy of the written O&M Plan for the Building is located in the Building Management Office and, upon written request, will be made available to Tenant for review during regular business hours.

 

BECAUSE OF THE PRESENCE OF ACMS IN THE BUILDING, LANDLORD IS ALSO PROVIDING THE FOLLOWING WARNING, WHICH IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS A CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:

 

WARNING: THIS BUILDING CONTAINS ASBESTOS, A CHEMICAL KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER.

 

Tenant may also contact the Building Manager with any questions regarding the contents of this Asbestos Notification.
