LEASE

THIS LEASE (“Lease”) is made as of the 7th day of August, 2009, by and between HCP TPSP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and LIGAND PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).

1. Lease Premises.

1.1 Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, those certain premises (“Premises”) consisting of a total of approximately 30,343 rentable square feet of space in that certain office building located at 11085 North Torrey Pines Road, San Diego, California (the “Building”), and comprised of (i) approximately 10,181 rentable square feet of office space located on the first (1st) floor of the Building (the “First Floor Premises”), and (ii) approximately 20,162 rentable square feet of office and laboratory space on the third (3rd) floor of the Building (the “Third Floor Premises”). The outline of the Premises is set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the purpose of Exhibit A is to show the approximate location of the Premises in the Building, only, and such Exhibit is not meant to constitute an agreement, representation or warranty as to the construction of the Premises, the precise area thereof or the specific location of the “Common Areas,” as that term is defined in Section 1.3, below, or the elements thereof or of the accessways to the Premises or the Project, as that term is defined in Section 1.2, below.

1.2 The Building and The Project. The Building is part of an office project currently known as “Torrey Pines Science Park”. The term “Project,” as used in this Lease, shall mean (i) the Building and the Common Areas, (ii) the other buildings located in the vicinity of the Building and within Torrey Pines Science Park (the “Adjacent Buildings”), (iii) the land (which is improved with landscaping, parking facilities and other improvements) upon which the Building, the Adjacent Buildings and the Common Areas are located, and (iv) at Landlord’s discretion, any additional real property, areas, land, buildings or other improvements added thereto outside of the Project (provided that the addition of any such areas shall not increase the amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease on a net basis). The site plan for the Project is attached hereto as Exhibit A-1.

1.3 Common Areas. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use in common with other tenants in the Project, and subject to the rules and regulations referred to in Article 10 of this Lease, those portions of the Project which are provided, from time to time, for use in common by Landlord, Tenant and any other tenants of the Project (such areas are collectively referred to herein as the “Common Areas”). The Common Areas may include a cafeteria or other restaurant located within the Project, a health club located within the Project, park or other facilities open to the general public and sidewalks, walkways, parkways, driveways and landscape areas located within and appurtenant to the Project. However Landlord makes no representation that any such Common Areas, whether or not such Common Areas are available as of the date of this Lease, shall be available throughout the entire Lease Term. The manner in which the Common Areas are maintained and operated shall be in the reasonable discretion of Landlord, provided that Landlord shall maintain and operate the same in a manner consistent with that of other first-class life science buildings in the vicinity of the Project, and the use thereof shall be subject to such rules, regulations and restrictions as Landlord may make from time to time. Landlord reserves the right (i) to close temporarily, make alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of the Project and the Common Areas, including, without limitation, changes in the location, size, shape and number of street entrances, driveways, passages ways, stairways, direction of traffic, landscaped areas, loading and unloading areas, and


walkways; (ii) to add additional buildings and improvements to the Common Areas; (iii) to use the Common Areas while engaged in making additional improvements, repairs, or alterations to the Project; and (iv) to do and perform such other acts and make such other changes in, to or with respect to the Common Areas as Landlord may deem to be appropriate; provided, however, that in no event shall any such actions by Landlord materially increase the amount of Additional Rent payable by Tenant or materially decrease Tenant’s beneficial use and enjoyment of the Premises. To the extent that the fitness center currently existing in the Building remains an amenity available to the other tenants and occupants of the Project, Tenant shall be entitled to the non-exclusive use of such fitness center during the Lease Term, provided such use shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable rules and regulations, and subject to the payment of the then-applicable standard and non-discriminatory usage fees.

-3-


3.3 Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Premises under this Lease may not be Ready for Occupancy on October 1, 2009. In such case, the Term Commencement Date shall nevertheless be October 1, 2009, since under (and subject to) the terms of that certain Lease Termination Agreement dated as of July 31, 2009, by and between Tenant, as tenant, and TPSC IX, LLC, as landlord (the “Lease Termination Agreement”), with respect to the Science Center Premises, Tenant shall have no further obligation to pay rent with respect to such Science Center Premises on and after October 1, 2009.

3.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Landlord fails to cause the Tenant Improvements in the First Floor Premises to be Substantially Completed on or before December 1, 2009 (the “Outside Anticipated Term Commencement Date”) (subject to events of force majeure and Tenant delays as set forth in Section 5.2 of the Tenant Work Letter), then for the period commencing as of the Outside Anticipated Commencement Date, and ending upon the date Landlord causes the Premises to be Ready for Occupancy (each day thereof, a “Day of Late Delivery”), then Tenant shall be entitled to receive, on a day-for-day basis, an abatement of the Base Rent (as that term is defined in Section 3.1, below) otherwise attributable to the Premises commencing on the Outside Anticipated Term Commencement Date and continuing for the total number of Days of Late Delivery.

4. Possession and Commencement Date.

4.1 Landlord shall tender possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before the Outside Anticipated Term Commencement Date.

4.2 Landlord and Tenant shall execute a written acknowledgment of the Term Commencement Date and the Term Expiration Date when such is established, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

4.3 Landlord hereby consents to Tenant’s early entry into the Third Floor Premises on or after the full execution and delivery of this Lease by Landlord and Tenant (“Early Entry Period”) for the purpose of installing telecommunications cablings, furniture, fixtures and equipment as more particularly set forth in Section 6.1 of the Tenant Work Letter, or for the conduct of the Permitted Use for such Third Floor Premises as more particularly set forth in Section 10.1, below. During any period Tenant is in the Premises prior to the Term Commencement Date, Tenant will comply with and observe all laws, safety rules and procedures, and comply with, and be bound by, all terms and conditions of this Lease other than payment of Rent.

4.4 Landlord acknowledges that (i) the occupant of the Premises immediately prior to Tenant, Torrey Pines Therapeutics (“Prior Occupant”), utilized Hazardous Material (as defined in Section 33.5 below) in the Premises; (ii) Prior Occupant has completed its required cleanup and decommissioning of the Premises prior to Tenant’s entry into the Premises pursuant to this Lease, (iii) copies of applicable documentation relating to such clean-up and decommissioning have been provided to Tenant, and (iv) notwithstanding any provision of this Lease (including, but not limited to, the Tenant Work Letter), Tenant is not liable or responsible for anything related to or caused by Prior Occupant’s use of the Premises.

5. Rent.

5.1 Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as Basic Annual Rent for the Premises the sum set forth in Section 2.1.3, subject to the rental adjustments provided in Article 6. Basic Annual Rent shall be paid in the equal monthly installments set forth in Section 2.1.4, each in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month during the term of this Lease.

5.2 In addition to Basic Annual Rent, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as additional rent (“Additional Rent”), at the times hereinafter specified in this Lease, Direct Expenses as provided in Article 7, reimbursement and expenses of Landlord’s performance of any obligations of Tenant under this Lease, and all other amounts that Tenant assumes or agrees to pay under the provisions of this Lease, including without limitation any and all other sums that may become due by reason of any default of Tenant or failure on Tenant’s part to comply with the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant.

5.3 Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent shall together be denominated “Rent.” Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, Rent shall be paid to Landlord, without notice, demand, abatement, suspension, deduction, setoff, counterclaim, or defense except as set forth in this Lease or pursuant to law (unless otherwise set forth in this Lease), at the office of Landlord as set forth in Section 2.1.8 or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.

5.4 In the event the term of this Lease commences or ends on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, then the Rent for such fraction of a month shall be prorated for such period on the basis of a thirty (30) day month and shall be paid at the then current rate for such fractional month prior to the commencement of the partial month.

5.5 Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, this is an absolutely triple net lease to Landlord. It is the intent of the parties that the Basic Annual Rent payable under this Lease shall be a net return to Landlord and that Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses relating to the Premises unless otherwise expressly provided in this Lease.

6. Rental Adjustments. As shown in Section 2.1.4 the initial Basic Annual Rent set forth in Section 2.1.3 shall be increased each year by three percent (3%).

7. Additional Rent and Direct Expenses.

7.1 General Terms. In addition to paying the Basic Annual Rent specified in Article 2 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay “Tenant’s Share” of the annual “Direct Expenses,” as those terms are defined in Sections 7.2.6 and 7.2.2 of this Lease, respectively. All amounts due under this Article 7 as Additional Rent shall be payable for the same periods and in the same manner as the Basic Annual Rent.

7.2.4 “Operating Expenses” shall mean, subject to the limitations and provisions of this Lease, all expenses, costs and amounts of every kind and nature which Landlord pays or accrues during any Expense Year because of or in connection with the ownership, management, maintenance, security, repair, replacement, restoration or operation of the Project, or any portion thereof.

-7-


(i) any compensation paid to clerks, attendants or other persons in commercial concessions operated by the Landlord, provided that any compensation paid to any concierge at the Project shall be includable as an Operating Expense;

(j) rentals and other related expenses incurred in leasing air conditioning systems, elevators or other equipment which if purchased the cost of which would be excluded from Operating Expenses as a capital cost, except equipment not affixed to the Project which is used in providing engineering, janitorial or similar services and, further excepting from this exclusion such equipment rented or leased to remedy or ameliorate an emergency condition in the Project ;

(k) all items and services for which Tenant or any other tenant in the Project reimburses Landlord or which Landlord provides selectively to one or more tenants (other than Tenant) without reimbursement;

(l) fees payable by Landlord for management of the Project in excess of four percent (4%) of Landlord’s base rental revenues;

(m) any costs expressly excluded from Operating Expenses elsewhere in this Lease;

(n) rent for any office space occupied by Project management personnel to the extent the size or rental rate of such office space exceeds the size or fair market rental value of office space occupied by management personnel of the comparable buildings in the vicinity of the Building, with adjustment where appropriate for the size of the applicable project;

(o) costs arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord in connection with this Lease; and

(p) costs incurred to comply with laws relating to the removal of hazardous material (as defined under applicable law) which was in existence in the Building or on the Project prior to the Term Commencement Date, and was of such a nature that a federal, State or municipal governmental authority, if it had then had knowledge of the presence of such hazardous material, in the state, and under the conditions that it then existed in the Building or on the Project, would have then required the removal of such hazardous material or other remedial or containment action with respect thereto; and costs incurred to remove, remedy, contain, or treat hazardous material, which hazardous material is brought into the Building or onto the Project after the date hereof by Landlord or any other tenant of the Project and is of such a nature, at that time, that a federal, State or municipal governmental authority, if it had then had knowledge of the presence of such hazardous material, in the state, and under the conditions, that it then exists in the Building or on the Project, would have then required the removal of such hazardous material or other remedial or containment action with respect thereto.

If Landlord is not furnishing any particular work or service (the cost of which, if performed by Landlord, would be included in Operating Expenses) to a tenant who has undertaken to perform such work or service in lieu of the performance thereof by Landlord, Operating Expenses shall be deemed to be increased by an amount equal to the additional Operating Expenses which would reasonably have been incurred during such period by Landlord if it had at its own expense furnished such work or service to such tenant. If the Project is not at least one hundred percent (100%) occupied during all or a portion of any Expense Year, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to the components of Operating Expenses for such year to determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been incurred had the Project been one hundred percent (100%) occupied; and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been the amount of Operating Expenses for such year.

Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year commencing or ending during the Term, Tenant shall pay, with it’s the next installment of Basic Annual Rent due more than thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Statement, the full amount of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as “Estimated Direct Expenses,” as that term is defined in Section 7.4.2, below, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Direct Expenses than the actual Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses, Tenant shall receive a credit in the amount of Tenant’s overpayment against Rent next due under this Lease. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord or Tenant from enforcing its rights under this Article 7. Even though the Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall pay to Landlord such amount within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of the Statement, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Direct Expenses than the actual Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days, deliver a check payable to Tenant in the amount of the overpayment. The provisions of this Section 7.4.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

7.4.2 Statement of Estimated Direct Expenses. In addition, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give Tenant, as soon as the same is available, a yearly expense estimate statement with reasonable detail and explanation (the “Estimate Statement”) which shall set forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate (the “Estimate”) of what the total amount of Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year shall be and the estimated Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses (the “Estimated Direct Expenses”). The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Direct Expenses under this Article 7, nor shall Landlord be prohibited from revising any Estimate Statement or Estimated Direct Expenses theretofore delivered to the extent necessary. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay, with the installment of Basic Annual Rent due thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Estimate Statement, a fraction of the Estimated Direct Expenses for the Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 7.4.2). If the thirty (30) day period ends prior to the commencement of the applicable Expense Year, then the fraction to the period is one-twelfth

 

-10-


(1/12th). If not, such one-twelfth (1/12th) fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year, including the month of such payment, and twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished (which Landlord shall have the right to deliver to Tenant at any time), Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Basic Annual Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Direct Expenses set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.

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

7.5.1 Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay ten (10) days before delinquency, taxes levied against Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property located in or about the Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and any other personal property are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such equipment, furniture, fixtures or any other personal property and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment, as the case may be.

7.5.2 If the tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed and/or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which tenant improvements conforming to Landlord’s “building standard” in other space in the Building are assessed, then the Tax Expenses levied against Landlord or the property by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 7.5.1, above.

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

7.6 Intentionally deleted.

7.7 Allocation of Direct Expenses. The parties acknowledge that the Building is a part of a multi-building project and that the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Project (i.e., the Direct Expenses) should be shared between the tenants of the Building and the tenants of the other buildings in the Project. Accordingly, certain of the Direct Expenses, which portion shall be determined by Landlord on an equitable basis, are determined annually for the Project as a whole (the “Project Direct Expenses”), and a portion of such Project Direct Expenses shall be allocated to the tenants of the Building (as opposed to the tenants of any other buildings in the Project) based on the proportion of the rentable square footage of the Building as compared to the rentable square footage of all the buildings in the Project, and such portion shall be deemed to be Direct Expenses which are applicable to the Building for purposes of this Lease. In addition, to the extent that the fitness center currently existing in the Building remains an amenity available to the other tenants and occupants of the Project, the Direct Expenses incurred with respect to such fitness center shall be deemed Direct Expenses applicable to the entire Project, as opposed to Direct Expenses applicable to the only the Building.

8. Tenant’s Right to Inspect. Tenant shall have the right, upon reasonable notice, to inspect and copy documents showing in reasonable detail the actual Direct Expenses expense paid by Landlord. Landlord shall maintain such documents as are reasonably necessary for such purpose for a period of not less than one (1) year. If, after such inspection, Tenant disputes the amount of Direct Expenses payable by Tenant, Tenant shall be entitled to retain an independent nationally or regionally recognized certified public accountant to audit or review Landlord’s records to determine the proper amount of Direct Expenses. If such audit or review reveals that Landlord has overcharged Tenant, then within ten (10) business days after the results of such audit are made available to Landlord, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant the amount of such overcharge. If the audit reveals that Tenant was undercharged, then within ten (10) business days after the results of the audit are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord the amount of such undercharge. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of such audit if Tenant the Direct Expenses charged to Tenant are within three percent (3%) of Landlord’s actual costs, and Landlord shall pay the cost of such audit if its actual costs are less than ninety-seven percent (97%) or more than one hundred three percent (103%) of the Direct Expenses charged to Tenant.

9. Security Deposit.

If Tenant defaults with respect to any provisions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, the removal of property and the repair of resultant damage, Landlord may, without notice to Tenant, but shall not be required to apply all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent or any other sum in default and Tenant shall, upon demand therefor, restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Any unapplied portion of the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant, or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest hereunder, within sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Term. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit.

Tenant acknowledges and agrees that (A) any statutory time frames for the return of a security deposit are superseded by the express period identified in this Article 9, above, and (B) rather than be so limited, Landlord may claim from the Security Deposit (i) any and all sums expressly identified in this Article 9, above, and (ii) any additional sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any and all losses or damages caused by Tenant’s default of this Lease, including, but not limited to, all damages or rent due upon termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code.

21.7 All of the policies of insurance referred to in this Article 21 shall be written by companies authorized to do business in California and rated A – (minus), IX, or better in Best’s Insurance Guide. Each insurer referred to in this Article 21 shall agree, by endorsement on the applicable policy or by independent instrument furnished to Landlord, that it will endeavor to give Landlord, and Landlord’s lenders if required by such lenders, at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice before the applicable policy shall be cancelled for non-payment of premium, and thirty (30) days’ prior written notice before the applicable policy shall be cancelled or altered in coverage, scope, amount or other material term for any other reason (although any failure of an insurer to give notice as provided herein shall not be a breach of this Lease by Tenant). Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, and to Landlord’s lenders if required by such lenders, copies of the insurance policies, certified by the insurer, or certificates of liability and evidence of property (Form 27 or 28) evidencing such insurance policies, issued by the broker, together with evidence of payment of the required premiums, prior to the required date for commencement of such coverage. At least fifteen (15) days prior to expiration of any such policy, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, and Landlord’s lenders if required by such lenders, a certificate evidencing renewal, or a certified copy of a new policy or certificate of liability and evidence of property (Form 27 or 28) evidencing the same, together with evidence of payment of the required premiums. If Tenant fails to provide to Landlord any such policy or certificate by the required date for commencement of coverage, or within five (5) days prior to expiration of any policy, or to pay the premiums therefor when required, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to procure said insurance and pay the premiums therefor. Landlord reserves the right to change the coverages or increase the minimum limits required hereunder from time to time in a commercially reasonable manner, consistent with market and region where the Premises are located, and Tenant agrees to comply with any reasonable notice from Landlord to change the coverages or increase its policy limits within sixty (60) days of the date of Landlord’s notice.

21.8 Tenant may provide the property insurance required under this Article 21 pursuant to a so-called blanket policy or policies of property insurance maintained by Tenant; provided, however, that the amount and type of coverage afforded to the Landlord shall not be reduced or adversely affected from that which would exist under a separate policy or policies meeting all of the requirements of this Lease by reason of the use of a blanket policy of property insurance, and provided further that the requirements of this Article 21 are otherwise satisfied.

21.9 Landlord shall carry commercial general liability insurance with respect to the Building and Project during the Lease Term, and shall further insure the Building and improvements in the Premises owned by Landlord during the Lease Term against loss or damage due to fire and other casualties covered within the classification of fire and extended coverage, vandalism coverage and malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage, water damage and special extended coverage. Such coverage shall be in such amounts, from such companies, and on such other terms and conditions, as Landlord may from time to time reasonably determine. Additionally, at the option of Landlord, such insurance coverage may include the risks of earthquakes and/or flood damage and additional hazards, a rental loss endorsement and one or more loss payee endorsements in favor of the holders of any mortgages or deeds of trust encumbering the interest of Landlord in the Building or the ground or underlying lessors of the Building, or any portion thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 21.9, the coverage and amounts of insurance carried by Landlord in connection with the Building shall, at a minimum, be comparable to the coverage and amounts of insurance which are carried by reasonably prudent landlords of comparable buildings in the vicinity of the Building, and Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability coverage as required by applicable law.

21.10 Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any and all rights of recovery against the other or against the officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, and representatives of the other, on account of loss or damage (including any claims for bodily injury to persons and/or damage to property) occasioned to such waiving party or its property or the property of others under its

 

-22-


control, to the extent that such loss or damage is caused by or results from risks insured against under any insurance policy which insures such waiving party at the time of such loss or damage, which waiver shall continue in effect as long as the parties’ respective insurers permit such waiver under the terms of their respective insurance policies or otherwise in writing. Any termination of such waiver shall be by written notice as hereinafter set forth. Prior to obtaining policies of insurance required or permitted under this Lease, If such waiver of subrogation cannot be obtained from any insurer or is obtainable only upon payment of an additional premium which the party seeking to obtain the policy reasonably determines to be commercially unreasonable, the party seeking to obtain such policy shall notify the other thereof, and the latter shall have twenty (20) days thereafter to either: (i) identify other insurance companies reasonably satisfactory to the other party that will provide the written approval and waiver of subrogation; or (ii) agree to pay such additional premium. If neither (i) nor (ii) are done, the mutual waiver set forth above shall not be operative, and the party seeking to obtain the policy shall be relieved of the obligation to obtain the insurer’s written approval and waiver of subrogation with respect to such policy during such time as such policy is not obtainable or is obtainable only upon payment of a commercially unreasonable additional premium as described above. If such policies shall at any subsequent time be obtainable or obtainable upon payment of a commercially reasonable additional premium, neither party shall be subsequently liable for failure to obtain such insurance until a reasonable time after notification thereof by the other party. If the release of either Landlord or Tenant, as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 21.10, shall contravene any law with respect to exculpatory agreements, the liability of the party in question shall be deemed not released but shall be secondary to the other’s insurer.

22. Damage or Destruction.

22.1 Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty. If the Premises or any Common Areas serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 22, restore the Base Building and such Common Areas. The “Base Building” shall include the structural portions of the Building, and the public restrooms, elevators, exit stairwells and the systems and equipment located in the internal core of the Building on the floor or floors on which the Premises are located. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the Base Building and the Common Areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Building or Project or any other modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord, which are consistent with the character of the Project, provided that access to the Premises and any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially impaired. Upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, upon notice (the “Landlord Repair Notice”) to Tenant from Landlord, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance required under Section 21.2, 21.6 and 21.8 of this Lease, and Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to Tenant’s Improvements and the Original Improvements installed in the Premises and shall return such Tenant’s Improvements and Original Improvements to their original condition; provided that if the cost of such repair by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant’s insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, the cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord’s commencement of repair of the damage. In the event that Landlord does not deliver the Landlord Repair Notice within sixty (60) days following the date the casualty becomes known to Landlord, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair any injury or damage to the Tenant’s Improvements and the Original Improvements installed in the Premises and shall return such Tenant’s Improvements and Original Improvements to their original condition. Whether or not Landlord delivers a Landlord Repair Notice, prior to the commencement of construction, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such

 

-23-


improvement work. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or Common Areas necessary to Tenant’s occupancy, and the Premises are not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof, then during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy, the Rent shall be abated in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which is unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. In the event that Landlord shall not deliver the Landlord Repair Notice, Tenant’s right to rent abatement pursuant to the preceding sentence shall terminate as of the date which is reasonably determined by Landlord to be the date Tenant should have completed repairs to the Premises assuming Tenant used reasonable due diligence in connection therewith.

22.2 Landlord’s Option to Repair. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 22.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises or Building and instead terminate this Lease, by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of discovery of the damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant sixty (60) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) in the commercially reasonable judgment of an experienced architect, engineer or contractor reasonably accept to both Landlord and Tenant (“Third Party Professional”) repairs cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of discovery of the damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Building or ground lessor with respect to the Building shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground lease, as the case may be; (iii) the damage is not fully covered by Landlord’s insurance policies; and Tenant declines to pay the shortfall other than the deductible amounts; or (iv) Landlord decides to rebuild the Building or Common Areas so that they will be substantially different structurally or architecturally; or (v) the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term; provided, however, that if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord’s termination right as provided above, and the repairs cannot, in the reasonable opinion of the Third Party Professional, be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after being commenced, Tenant may elect, no earlier than sixty (60) days after the date of the damage and not later than ninety (90) days after the date of such damage, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in the notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety (90) days after the date such notice is given by Tenant. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.2, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease under this Section 11.2 only if each of the following conditions is satisfied: (a) the damage to the Project by fire or other casualty was not caused by the gross negligence or intentional act of Tenant or its partners or subpartners and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and independent contractors; (b) Tenant is not then in default under this Lease; and (c) as a result of the damage, Tenant cannot reasonably conduct business from the Premises.

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

 

-24-


23. Eminent Domain. If the whole or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises or Building shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any part of the Premises or Building if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken, or if access to the Premises is substantially impaired, in each case for a period in excess of one hundred twenty (120) days, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. Tenant shall not because of such taking assert any claim against Landlord or the authority for any compensation because of such taking and Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant’s personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and for moving expenses, so long as such claim is payable separately to Tenant. All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Rent shall be proportionately abated. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of The California Code of Civil Procedure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 23, in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises for a period of one hundred twenty (120)days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and the Additional Rent shall be abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking other than Tenant’s separate claim.

24. Defaults and Remedies.

24.1 Late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent and other sums the will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within ten (10) days of the date such payment is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum of the overdue Rent. In the event the Tenant’s failure to pay Rent continues for sixty (60) days, the interest rate shall be increased to the lesser of (i) eighteen percent (18%) per annum or (ii) the maximum interest rate permitted by law, (the “Default Rate”). In the event Tenant fails to timely pay Rent on two or more occasions in any twelve month period, Tenant shall pay the Default Rate on all overdue Rent. The parties agree that this interest represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant.

24.2 No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent payment herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy provided. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to any amount or sum of money to be paid by Tenant to Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to make payment `under protest’ and such payment shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment, and there shall survive the right on the part of Tenant to institute suit for recovery of the payment paid under protest.

 

-25-


24.3 If Tenant fails to pay any sum of money (other than Basic Annual Rent) required to be paid by it hereunder, or shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, but shall not be obligated to, make such payment or perform such act, provided, that such failure by Tenant continued for ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord demanding performance by Tenant was delivered to Tenant, or that such failure by Tenant unreasonably interfered with the use or efficient operation of the Premises, or resulted or could have resulted in a violation of law or the cancellation of an insurance policy maintained by Landlord.

24.4 The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a “Default” hereunder by Tenant:

(a) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of Rent, as and when due, where such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant. Such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161;

(b) The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any obligation other than described in Section 24.4(a) to be performed by Tenant, where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required to cure the default, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall commence such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion. Such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1 l 61;

(c) Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors;

(d) A receiver, trustee or custodian is appointed to, or does, take title, possession or control of all, or substantially all, of Tenant’s assets;

(e) An order for relief is entered against Tenant pursuant to a voluntary or involuntary proceeding commenced under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code;

(f) Any involuntary petition is filed against the Tenant under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code and is not dismissed within sixty (60) days; or

(g) Tenant’s interest in this Lease is attached, executed upon, or otherwise judicially seized and such action is not released within sixty (60) days of the action.

Notices given under this Section shall specify the alleged default and shall demand that Tenant perform the provisions of this Lease or pay the Rent that is in arrears, as the case may be, within the applicable period of time, or quit the Premises. No such notice shall be deemed a, forfeiture or a termination of this Lease unless Landlord elects otherwise in such notice, and in no event shall a forfeiture or termination occur without such written notice.

24.5 In the event of a Default by Tenant, and at any time thereafter, and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have, Landlord shall be entitled to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event Landlord shall have the immediate right to re-enter and remove all persons and property, and such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of Tenant, all without service of

 

-26-


notice and without being deemed guilty of trespass, or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease, then Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s default, including:

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

(b) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss which Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

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

(d) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligation under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, the cost of restoring the Premises to the condition required under the terms of this Lease; plus

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

As used in Subsections (a), (b) and (c), the “time of award” shall mean the date upon which the. judgment in any action brought by Landlord against Tenant by reason of such default is entered or such earlier date as the court may determined. As used in Subsections (a) and (b), the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Default Rate. As used in Subsection (c) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by taking the present value of such amount using the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percentage point.

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

24.7 In the event Landlord elects to terminate this Lease and relet the Premises, it may execute any new lease in its own name. Tenant hereunder shall have no right or authority whatsoever to collect any rent from such tenant. The proceeds of any such reletting shall be applied as follows:

First, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord, including, but not limited to, storage charges or brokerage commissions owing from Tenant to Landlord as the result of such reletting;

Second, to the payment of reasonable costs and expenses of reletting the Premises, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in connection with the retaking of the Premises and such reletting;

 

-27-


Third, to the payment of Rent and other charges due and unpaid hereunder; and

Fourth, to the payment of future Rent and other damages payable by Tenant under this Lease.

24.8 No waiver of any default of Tenant hereunder shall be implied from any acceptance by Landlord of any rent or other payments due hereunder or by any omission by Landlord to take any action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect defaults other than as specified in said waiver.

24.9 Termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession by Landlord shall not relieve Tenant from any liability to Landlord which has theretofore accrued.

24.10 Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.

24.11 In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will give notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of trust or mortgagee of a mortgage covering the Premises whose address shall have been furnished and shall offer such beneficiary and/or mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Premises by power of sale or a judicial action if such should prove necessary to effect a cure.

24.12 In the event of Landlord default, Tenant may pursue all rights and remedies available at law, or in equity.

37.24 Building Renovations. Except as specifically set forth herein or in the Tenant Work Letter, it is specifically understood and agreed that Landlord has made no representation or warranty to Tenant and has no obligation and has made no promises to alter, remodel, improve, renovate, repair or decorate the Premises, Building, or any part thereof and that no representations respecting the condition of the Premises or the Building have been made by Landlord to Tenant.

Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the Renovations, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of (except as may be expressly provided in this Lease, including Section 16.3, above) the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant’s personal property or improvements resulting from the Renovations or Landlord’s actions in connection with such Renovations, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Renovations or Landlord’s actions.

TENANT WORK LETTER

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

SECTION 1

DELIVERY OF THE PREMISES

1.1 In General. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has thoroughly examined the Premises. Subject to Section 4.4 of the Lease and the terms of this Tenant Work Letter, Tenant shall accept the Premises and the Base Building from Landlord in their presently existing, “as-is” condition as of the date of this Lease. Subject to Section 4.4 of the Lease, the “Base Building” shall consist of those portions of the Premises which were in existence prior to the construction of the tenant improvements in the Premises for the prior tenant of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall, at its cost and to the extent required for Tenant to obtain or maintain a certificate of occupancy (or its equivalent) for the Permitted Use for the applicable portion of the Premises, cause, as of the Term Commencement Date, the Premises (as well as the applicable path-of-travel) to be in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act (the “ADA”) as the ADA is in effect as of the date of this Lease). In addition, to the extent not already provided, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s expense, configure (to Landlord’s Building standard configuration) the above-ceiling grid electrical infrastructure for electrical drops to Tenant cubicles and work-stations (which cubicles, workstations and electrical drops are to be provided by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense).

1.2 Construction of First Floor Premises. Landlord and Tenant have approved that certain plan for the First Floor Premises prepared by Ferguson Pape Baldwin, dated June 18, 2009 and approved by Tenant on June 19, 2009 (the “First Floor Approved Working Drawings”). Landlord shall construct the improvements in the First Floor Premises (the “First Floor Tenant Improvements”) pursuant to the First Floor Approved Working Drawings. Tenant shall make no changes or modifications to the First Floor Approved Working Drawings without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s reasonable discretion if such change or modification would directly or indirectly delay the “Substantial Completion,” as that term is defined in Section 5.1 of this Tenant Work Letter, of the First Floor Premises (or any other portion of the Premises) or increase the cost of designing or constructing the First Floor Tenant Improvements. All First Floor Tenant Improvements shall be deemed Landlord’s property under the terms of the Lease. Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of any items not identified on the First Floor Approved Working Drawings. In connection therewith, any costs which arise in connection with any such items shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord in cash, in advance, upon Landlord’s request.

1.3 Additional Costs. In the event that after Tenant’s execution of this Lease, any revisions, changes, or substitutions shall be made to (i) the First Floor Approved Working Drawings, or (ii) the First Floor Tenant Improvements, or in the event that Tenant requests revisions, changes, or substitutions, then any additional costs (which are reasonable) which arise in connection with such revisions, changes or substitutions shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord immediately upon Landlord’s request.

SECTION 2

TENANT IMPROVEMENTS FOR THIRD FLOOR PREMISES

2.1 Tenant Improvement Allowance. Tenant shall be entitled to a one-time tenant improvement allowance (the “Tenant Improvement Allowance”) in the amount of Six Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($600,000.00) for the costs relating to the initial design and construction of Tenant’s improvements which are permanently affixed to the Premises (including both the Third Floor Premises and First Floor Premises, at Tenant’s option) (the “Tenant Improvements”). In no event shall Landlord be obligated to make disbursements pursuant to this Tenant Work Letter in a total amount which exceeds the Tenant Improvement Allowance. All Tenant Improvements for which the Tenant Improvement Allowance has been made available shall be deemed Landlord’s property under the terms of the Lease.

2.2 Disbursement of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. Except as otherwise set forth in this Tenant Work Letter, the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be disbursed by Landlord (each of which disbursements shall be made pursuant to Landlord’s disbursement process) for costs related to the construction of the Tenant Improvements and for the following items and costs (collectively, the “Tenant Improvement Allowance Items”): (i) payment of the fees of the “Architect” and the “Engineers,” as those terms are defined in Section 3.1 of this Tenant Work Letter, and payment of the fees incurred by, and the cost of documents and materials supplied by, Landlord and Landlord’s consultants in connection with the preparation and review of the “Construction Drawings,” as that term is defined in Section 3.1 of this Tenant Work Letter; (ii) the cost of any changes in the Base Building when such changes are required by the Construction Drawings; (iii) the cost of any changes to the Construction Drawings or Tenant Improvements required by all applicable building codes (the “Code”); (iv) the cost of the Landlord’s Work; (v) the “Landlord Supervision Fee”, as that term is defined in Section 4.3.2 of this Tenant Work Letter; and (vi) a portion of the costs of the tenant demising walls and public corridor walls and materials, if any, as designated by Landlord.

2.3 Standard Tenant Improvement Package. Landlord has established specifications (the “Specifications”) for the Building standard components to be used in the construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises (collectively, the “Standard Improvement Package”), which Specifications shall be supplied to Tenant by Landlord. The quality of Tenant Improvements shall be equal to or of greater quality than the quality of the Specifications, provided that Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, require the Tenant Improvements to comply with certain Specifications. Landlord may make changes to the Specifications for the Standard Improvement Package from time to time.

SECTION 3

CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS

3.1 Selection of Architect/Construction Drawings. Landlord shall retain Ferguson Pape Baldwin (the “Architect”) to prepare the “Construction Drawings,” as that term is defined in this Section 3.1, with respect to the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall retain the engineering consultants designated by Landlord (subject to Tenant’s reasonable approval) (the “Engineers”) to prepare all plans and engineering working drawings relating to the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, life safety, and sprinkler work of the Tenant Improvements. The plans and drawings to be prepared by Architect and the Engineers hereunder shall be known collectively as the “Construction Drawings.” All Construction Drawings shall comply with the drawing format and specifications as determined by Landlord, and shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval. Tenant and Architect shall verify, in the field, the

 

EXHIBIT B

-2-


dimensions and conditions as shown on the relevant portions of the Base Building plans, and Tenant and Architect shall be solely responsible for the same, and Landlord shall have no responsibility in connection therewith. Landlord’s review of the Construction Drawings as set forth in this Section 3, shall be for its sole purpose and shall not imply Landlord’s review of the same, or obligate Landlord to review the same, for quality, design, Code compliance or other like matters. Notwithstanding Landlord’s retention of the Architect Tenant acknowledges that the Construction Drawings being prepared by the Architect and Engineers are being prepared on Tenant’s behalf and, in connection therewith, Landlord’s review of the Construction Drawings as set forth in this Section 3, shall be for its sole purpose and shall not imply Landlord’s review of the same, or obligate Landlord to review the same, for quality, design, Code compliance or other like matters. Accordingly, notwithstanding (i) Landlord’s retention of the Architect, (ii) that any Construction Drawings are reviewed by Landlord or its space planner, architect, engineers and consultants, and (iii) any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord’s space planner, architect, engineers, and consultants, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained in the Construction Drawings, and Tenant’s waiver and indemnity set forth in the Lease, as amended, shall specifically apply to the Construction Drawings.

3.2 Final Space Plan. On or before the date set forth in Schedule 1, attached hereto, Tenant and the Architect shall prepare the final space plan for Tenant Improvements in the Premises (collectively, the “Final Space Plan”), which Final Space Plan shall include a layout and designation of all offices, rooms and other partitioning, their intended use, and equipment to be contained therein, and shall deliver the Final Space Plan to Landlord for Landlord’s approval.

3.3 Final Working Drawings. On or before the date set forth in Schedule 1, Tenant, the Architect and the Engineers shall complete the architectural and engineering drawings for the Premises, and the final architectural working drawings in a form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work and to obtain all applicable permits (collectively, the “Final Working Drawings”) and shall submit the same to Landlord for Landlord’s approval.

3.4 Permits. The Final Working Drawings shall be approved by Landlord (the “Approved Working Drawings”) prior to the commencement of the construction of the Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall cause the Architect to submit the Approved Working Drawings to the appropriate municipal authorities for all applicable building permits necessary to allow “Contractor,” as that term is defined in Section 4.1, below, to commence and fully complete the construction of the Tenant Improvements (the “Permits”); provided, however, that to the extent that the Architect shall be unable to obtain or is delayed in obtaining Permits due to the design of the Tenant Improvements as set forth in the Construction Drawings (a “Tenant Caused Permit Failure”), such delay shall be considered a Tenant Delay subject to the terms set forth in Section 5.2 of this Tenant Work Letter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3.4, Tenant hereby agrees that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s consultants shall be responsible for obtaining any building permit or certificate of occupancy for the Premises and that the obtaining of the same shall be Tenant’s responsibility; provided however that Landlord shall, in any event, cooperate with Tenant in executing permit applications and performing other ministerial acts reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to obtain any such permit or certificate of occupancy. No changes, modifications or alterations in the Approved Working Drawings may be made without the prior written consent of Landlord, provided that Landlord may withhold its consent, in its reasonable discretion, to any change in the Approved Working Drawings if such change would directly or indirectly delay the “Substantial Completion” of the Premises as that term is defined in Section 5.1 of this Tenant Work Letter.

3.5 Time Deadlines. Tenant shall use its good faith, diligent efforts to cooperate with the Architect, the Engineers, and Landlord to complete all phases of the Construction Drawings and the permitting process and to receive the permits, and with Contractor for approval of the “Cost Proposal,” as that term is defined in Section 4.2 of this Tenant Work Letter, as soon as reasonably possible after the execution of the Lease, and, in that regard, shall meet with Landlord on a scheduled basis to be determined by the parties, to discuss Tenant’s progress in connection with the same. The applicable dates for approval of items, plans and drawings as described in this Section 3, Section 4, below, and in this Tenant Work Letter are set forth and further elaborated upon in Schedule 1 (the “Time Deadlines”), attached hereto. Tenant agrees to comply with the Time Deadlines.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

4.1 Contractor. DPR, Construction, Inc. (the “Contractor”) shall construct the Tenant Improvements.

4.2 Cost Proposal. After the Approved Working Drawings are signed by Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a cost proposal in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings, which cost proposal shall include, as nearly as possible, the cost of all Third Floor Tenant Improvement Allowance Items to be incurred by Tenant in connection with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements (the “Cost Proposal”). Tenant shall approve and deliver the Cost Proposal to Landlord within five (5) business days of the receipt of the same, and upon receipt of the same by Landlord, Landlord shall be released by Tenant to purchase the items set forth in the Cost Proposal and to commence the construction relating to such items. The date by which Tenant must approve and deliver the Cost Proposal to Landlord shall be known hereafter as the “Cost Proposal Delivery Date”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have a one-time right to object to such Cost Proposal prior to the Cost Proposal Delivery Date by providing Landlord with written notice of such objection. In the event Tenant so objects to the Cost Proposal, Tenant shall cause the Architect and/or Engineers to revise and resubmit the Construction Drawings to Landlord within three (3) business days following Tenant’s objection, which revised Construction Drawings shall again be subject to Landlord’s approval in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of this Work Letter.

The date by which Tenant must approve and deliver the Revised Cost Proposal to Landlord shall be known hereafter as the “Revised Cost Proposal Delivery Date.” In the event Tenant fails to comply with any of the time deadlines set forth in this Section 4.2 (specifically including, without limitation, the approval of the original Cost Proposal or Revised Cost Proposal on or before the Cost Proposal Delivery Date or before the Revised Cost Proposal Delivery Date, as applicable), such failures shall be deemed to be Tenant delays subject to the terms of Section 5.2 of this Tenant Work Letter.

4.3 Construction of Tenant Improvements by Contractor under the Supervision of Landlord.

4.3.1 Over-Allowance Amount. In the event that the amount of the Cost Proposal (the “Final Costs”) are greater than the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (the “Over-Allowance Amount”), then Tenant shall pay a percentage of each amount requested by the Contractor or otherwise to be disbursed under this Tenant Work Letter, which percentage shall be equal to the Over-Allowance Amount divided by the amount of the Final Costs (after deducting from the Final Costs any amounts expended in connection with the preparation of the Construction Drawings, and the cost of all other Tenant Improvement Allowance Items incurred prior to the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements), and such payments by Tenant (the “Over-Allowance Payments”) shall be a condition to Landlord’s obligation to pay any amounts from the Tenant Improvement Allowance.

 

EXHIBIT B
