f.Google Common Lot.  The size of the Google Common Lot referred to in item 5 of the Summary of Basic Terms and Section 3.2.3 of the Original Agreement is reduced from 704,077 square feet to 703,420 square feet.  The reference in Section 3.2.3(a) to a Subdivision Problem existing if the Google Common Lot consists of less than 704,077 square feet of space is hereby modified to instead refer to 703,420 square feet of space.  Seller shall modify the current proposed Subdivision Map to the extent necessary such that the Google Common Lot consists of at least 703,420 square feet.

“3.2.5Buyer’s Obligation to Construct Temporary Parking to Address Parking Shortfall.  Buyer and Seller acknowledge that the Buildings on the Property are currently required to be served by one thousand two hundred and thirty four (1,234) parking spaces in accordance with the requirements of the City and the Moffett Park Specific Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller has proposed to provide nine hundred and seventy one (971) parking spaces located in the Buyer Area of Control (and the Google Common Lot) to serve the Buildings, and based on the required parking spaces set forth above, such reduced number of parking spaces allocated to the Buildings will result in a parking shortfall of at least two hundred sixty-three (263) parking spaces that are legally required to serve the Buildings

{2108-00079/00770738;}

-Exhibit P-

 

 

 

 

 


(hereinafter, the “Parking Shortfall”).   As a condition to the Closing, Seller shall re-stripe, at its sole cost and expense, the parking areas depicted in Exhibit P”  attached hereto to provide five (5) additional parking stalls to Buyer for its exclusive use in connection with the Property, including the Buildings (the “Additional Buyer Parking Spaces”).  Seller shall ensure that such Additional Buyer Parking Spaces meet City parking stall dimension standards and any other requirements of applicable Governmental Regulations with respect thereto.  In the event Seller fails to complete the Additional Buyer Parking Spaces in accordance with the terms of this Section on or before the date immediately preceding the First Closing Date, Buyer shall receive a credit against the First Closing Purchase Price in an amount equal to Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00) for each such Additional Buyer Parking Space that Seller fails to complete on or before the date immediately preceding the First Closing Date. By way of example, if Seller fails to deliver all five (5) of the Additional Buyer Spaces to Buyer in accordance with this Section, then Buyer shall be entitled to a credit against the First Closing Purchase Price in an amount equal to One Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($180,000.00).  The amount of the Parking Shortfall set forth above shall be reduced by the number of Additional Buyer Parking Spaces that Seller delivers to Buyer on the First Closing Date pursuant to this Section.  Accordingly, if Seller provides all five (5) of the Additional Buyer Parking Spaces to Buyer hereunder prior to the First Closing, the Parking Shortfall shall be reduced to be two hundred and fifty eight (258) parking spaces.  Buyer agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Agreement, including, but not limited to, Section 3.2.3 of the Original Agreement, the Parking Shortfall shall not be a Subdivision Problem.  Buyer further agrees to design and construct, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, a sufficient number of parking spaces on the Unimproved Land and/or Buyer Area of Control to remedy the Parking Shortfall to the extent required in order for Seller to obtain the final approval and recordation of the Subdivision Map as further specified in the Revised CC&Rs.  In addition, if following the First Closing, the Parking Shortfall increases either (a) in connection with the Subdivision Map Work (as defined in the Revised CC&Rs), (b) as a result of City comments or modification to the Subdivision Map or any other modifications required by Governmental Regulations, or (c) as a result of a Subdivision Condition, then Buyer shall be entitled to a credit against the Second Closing Purchase Price in an amount equal to Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00) per each additional parking space by which the Parking Shortfall has been increased; provided, however, in the event the Second Closing does not occur, Seller shall reimburse Buyer in the amount of $30,000 per each parking space by which the Parking Shortfall has increased.  Conversely, in the event the Parking Shortfall decreases as a result of the Subdivision Map Work, as a result of City comments or modification to the Subdivision Map or any other modifications required by Governmental Regulations, or as a result of a Subdivision Condition, then the Second Closing Purchase Price shall be increased by Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00) for each additional parking stall which reduces the Parking Shortfall, provided, however, in the event the Second Closing does not occur, Buyer shall reimburse Seller in the amount of $30,000 per each parking space by which the Parking Shortfall has decreased. Further provided however, in no event shall the amount of such increase in the Second Closing Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 3.2.5 exceed Seven Million Seven Hundred and Forty Thousand Dollars ($7,740,000.00), the parking credit for a 258 space Parking Shortfall. It is understood and agreed by Buyer and Seller that Buyer shall not be entitled to any credit or reimbursement, such as the case may be, for a loss of any parking space(s) which causes an increase in the Parking Shortfall solely as a result of Buyer modifications to the Buyer Area of Control which are unrelated to the Subdivision Map Work and/or the processing and approval of the Subdivision Map. Furthermore, Seller shall not be entitled to an increase in Purchase Price or reimbursement, such as the case may be, for an increase in parking spaces which results in a decrease in the Parking Shortfall if the decrease is the direct result of Buyer modifications to the Buyer Area of Control which are unrelated to the Subdivision Map Work and/or the processing and approval of the Subdivision Map.  The adjustments to the Purchase Price with respect to the Parking Shortfall as set forth in this section shall survive the First Closing and not be merged therein.”

Buyer's obligation to close on the acquisition of the Property at each Closing pursuant to this Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions precedent to such Closing for Buyer's benefit set forth in Section 4.3. If Buyer fails to timely provide a Buyer's Approval Notice, or if Buyer terminates this Agreement by notice to Seller because of the failure of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.3, then (a) Escrow Holder shall return the Deposit (less the Independent Consideration) and Second Closing Funds, if any, to Buyer (plus interest accrued on the Deposit and Second Closing Funds only while held by Escrow Holder) in accordance with Buyer's written instructions within five (5) business days following Buyer's delivery of a written termination notice to Seller and Escrow Holder, (b) Seller and Buyer shall each pay one‑half (1/2) of any escrow cancellation fees or charges, and (c) except for Buyer's indemnity and Buyer’s and Seller’s confidentiality obligations under this Agreement and any other obligations which expressly survive termination of this Agreement, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations to one another under this Agreement.”

l.Seller Deliveries to Escrow – Section 5.1. Section 5.1 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended to include the following to the end of Section 5.1 of the Original Agreement:

“5.1.9     Assignment of Leases. Two (2) counterparts of the Assignment of Leases in the form of Exhibit "E" attached hereto (the “Lease Assignment”) duly executed by Seller, pursuant to which Seller shall assign to Buyer all of Seller's right, title and interest in, under and to the Leases; and

In addition, Seller shall provide all other notices required under the Lease (including without limitation, any notices required under the Leases with respect to the Subdivision Map) to the tenants under the Leases pursuant to the notice requirements under such Leases.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, such letters and other required notices shall not be delivered through escrow with Escrow Holder but shall be sent directly by Seller to the tenants promptly following the Closing.”

p.Ad Valorem Taxes ‒ Section 8.1.  Section 8.1 of the Original Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“8.1  Ad Valorem Taxes.  All real estate taxes and assessments attributable to the First Closing Property and the Second Closing Property will be prorated as of the First Closing Date and the Second Closing Date, respectively. Seller shall be charged with all such taxes up to, but not including, each Closing Date. If the applicable tax rate and assessments for the applicable Property have not been established for the tax year in which the applicable Closing occurs, the proration of real estate taxes, and assessments will be based upon the rate and assessments for the preceding year plus two percent (2%) with a post-closing reconciliation when the actual tax bills are available. Real property tax refunds and credits received after each Closing which are attributable to a fiscal tax year prior to such Closing shall belong to Seller (except to the extent such amounts must be refunded to the tenants under the Leases), and those which are attributable to the fiscal tax year in which each Closing occurs shall be prorated based upon the date of such Closing.”

q.Lease Rentals.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Agreement, all rents (including all accrued tax and operating expense pass-throughs), charges and revenue of any kind receivable from the Leases which are not delinquent as of the First Closing will be prorated at the First Closing.  Seller will receive all rents (including all accrued tax and operating expense pass-throughs), charges and other revenue of any kind receivable from the Leases up to, but not including, the First Closing Date, and Buyer shall receive all such amounts from and after the First Closing Date.  No proration will be made with respect to any rents of any kind receivable from the Leases for any period before the First Closing which are delinquent.  All amounts collected by Buyer subsequent to the First Closing relating to rents which are delinquent will be promptly remitted to Seller; provided, however, all rents received by Buyer from any specific tenant under a Lease after the First Closing will be applied first to the rental period under such Lease in which the First Closing occurred, second to any current rental period under such Lease following the First Closing and third to satisfy delinquent rental obligations under such Lease for any period before the First Closing not prorated at the First Closing.  In no event shall Seller be permitted to contact any tenants regarding delinquent rents.  All amounts paid to Seller subsequent to the First Closing relating to rents which are due and owing for the period prior to

{2108-00079/00770738;}

-Exhibit P-

 

 

 

 

 


the First Closing shall solely belong to Seller.  All amounts paid to Seller subsequent to the First Closing relating to rents which are due and owing for the period after the First Closing shall belong to Buyer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of such operating expenses and other charges and expenses are payable by tenants under the Leases (collectively, the "Tenant Charges") on an estimated basis, then the Tenant Charges for the period of time in the calendar year prior to the First Closing shall be reconciled against actual charges and expenses for such period, provided that such reconciliation shall not be performed until no later than one hundred twenty (120) days following the First Closing Date (the "Reconciliation Period").  Upon request therefor by Buyer, Seller shall deliver to Buyer any written materials in Seller’s immediate possession regarding any Tenant Charges incurred by Seller and/or charged to the tenants pursuant to the Leases prior to the First Closing.  In accordance with the terms of the Leases (and within the timeframes required thereunder), Buyer shall prepare such final reconciliation and forward the same to Seller for Seller’s review and reasonable approval prior to sending the reconciliations to the tenants.  If the final reconciliation shows that Seller owes tenants additional sums due to over-collection, Seller shall deliver such amount to Buyer within ten (10) days after receiving such final reconciliation from Buyer.  If the final reconciliation (as reasonably approved by Seller as provided above) shows that Buyer owes Seller additional sums due to under-collection, Buyer shall pay such amount to Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of the under-collected amounts from the tenants (which under-collected amounts Buyer shall use good faith efforts to collect in the ordinary course of business).  Other than as set forth above, there shall not be any further reconciliation of such Tenant Charges after the final reconciliation thereof, the proration of such Tenant Charges pursuant to the final reconciliation being conclusively presumed to be accurate.  After the final reconciliation of Tenant Charges is made by and between the parties, Buyer shall be solely liable and responsible to the tenants under the Leases for such reconciliation of Tenant Charges under the Leases.  The foregoing covenants made by the parties with respect to the final reconciliation of the Tenant Charges shall survive the First Closing.

r.Operating Expenses ‒ Section 8.3. Section 8.3 of the Original Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“8.3  Operating Expenses.  With respect to the First Closing, all utility service charges for electricity, heat and air conditioning service, other utilities, elevator maintenance, common area maintenance, taxes other than real estate taxes such as rental taxes, other expenses incurred in operating the First Closing Property only that Seller customarily pays shall be prorated on an accrual basis so long as Seller has delivered written notice to Buyer at least five (5) business days prior to the Contingency Deadline of any such charges it intends to prorate. Seller shall pay all such expenses that accrue in connection with the First Closing Property prior to the First Closing Date, and Buyer shall pay all such expenses accruing on and after the First Closing Date with respect to the First Closing Property. All such expenses as to the Second Closing Property shall be paid by Buyer and Seller in accordance with the Revised CC&Rs. Seller and Buyer shall obtain billings and meter readings as of the First Closing Date (or shall make reasonable estimates of meter readings if same-day readings are not available) to aid in such prorations (if such utilities cannot be changed to Buyer’s name on the First Closing Date). Insurance or any other operating expense refunds and credits received after the First Closing which are attributable to a time period prior to the First Closing shall belong to Seller (except to the extent such amounts must be refunded to the tenants under the Leases), and those which are attributable to a time period in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated based upon the date of the First Closing.”

s.New Contracts and Leases ‒ Section 9.1.2. Section 9.1.2 of the Original Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“9.1.2New Contracts and Leases.  Between the Effective Date and the date which is three (3) business days prior to the expiration of the Property Approval Period, (i) Seller will keep Buyer informed of any new Contracts or Leases that are entered into by Seller or any amendments or modifications to the existing Contracts or Leases, which new Contracts or Leases or

{2108-00079/00770738;}

-Exhibit P-

 

 

 

 

 


modifications will survive Closing or otherwise affect the use, operation or enjoyment of the Property after Closing (collectively, "New Contracts"), and (ii) Buyer shall have the right to object or consent to the terms or conditions of any such New Contracts or amendments or extensions thereto such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except as provided below. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller will provide Buyer with copies of all New Contracts.  Subsequent to the date which is three (3) business days prior to the expiration of the Property Approval Period, and continuing until each First Closing or Second Closing (provided the Agreement has not been terminated), Seller will not enter into any New Contracts associated with the First Closing Property or Second Closing Property, as applicable, without Buyer's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Buyer's sole discretion, and which consent will be deemed to have been denied by Buyer if Buyer does not notify Seller in writing to the contrary within three (3) business days after Seller provides written notice to Buyer of such New Contract; provided, however, that Seller shall be entitled to enter into any New Contracts at any time, without Buyer’s prior written consent, if such New Contracts are terminable within thirty (30) days at no cost to Buyer and are terminated by Seller prior to the applicable Closing Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, from and after the Effective Date, Seller shall not enter into any leases, licenses or other similar occupancy agreements applicable to the Property, or any portion thereof, or modify or amend any of the Leases without Buyer's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Buyer's sole discretion.”

t.Operation in the Ordinary Course ‒ Section 9.2.  Section 9.2 of the Original Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“9.2Operation in the Ordinary Course.  Subject to Section 9.1 above, from the Effective Date until each Closing, Seller shall (i) operate and manage the Property in the ordinary course and consistent with Seller's past practices (except for the subdivision of the Common Lot pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), (ii) perform when due, and otherwise comply with, all of Seller's material obligations and duties under the Leases and the Contracts, and (iii) perform alterations and construction work related to bi-furcating the Declarant Campus and the Google Campus (as defined in the Revised CC&Rs), along with subdivision line and relocation of the public storm drain in accordance with the Revised CC&Rs.  Except for the Excluded Personal Property, and except as provided otherwise herein or in the NetApp Lease, none of the Personal Property shall be removed from the Real Property, unless replaced by unencumbered personal property of equal or greater utility and value.  All Personal Property and Intangible Personal Property shall be conveyed to Buyer by Seller at Closing free from any liens, encumbrances or security interests of any kind or nature other than all such matters that the Title Policy may be subject to as set forth in Section 4.2.2, including, without limitation, the Permitted Title Matters.”

u.Tenant Estoppels.  Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to receive and deliver to Buyer estoppel certificates from all the tenants of the Real Property and Improvements.  As used in this Agreement, “commercially reasonable efforts” shall not include any obligation to institute or threaten legal proceedings, to declare or threaten to declare any person in default, to incur any liabilities, to expend any monies, or to cause any other person to do any of the foregoing.  Each estoppel certificate shall be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit “K” (or if Seller, after using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain certificates in such form, is unable to obtain the same, then in the form, if any, prescribed in or permitted by the applicable Lease or tenant); provided, however, that any provisions of the applicable estoppel certificates respecting defaults, defenses, disputes, environmental matters, claims, offsets, credits, abatements, concessions and recaptures against rent and other charges may be limited to the actual knowledge of the applicable tenant.  Buyer’s failure to object to any estoppel certificate (or any information or provision therein) by written notice to Seller given within five (5) business days after Buyer’s receipt thereof (but not later than the First Closing Date) shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s acceptance and approval thereof.  If an estoppel certificate (or a

combination of estoppel certificates) will have a Material Adverse Effect, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or the Original Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to terminate the Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit, in which event, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for those obligations that expressly survive termination.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller’s failure to obtain such estoppel certificates shall in no event be deemed a default by Seller hereunder or a failed condition that will entitle Buyer to terminate the Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit, but in the event that Seller fails to obtain an estoppel certificate for any Lease on or before the Outside First Closing Date then, subject to the limitations of Section 16.4 of the Agreement,  Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any and all costs, losses, damages or expenses of any kind or nature arising out of or resulting from any defaults by Seller that exist pursuant to such Lease as of the First Closing Date.  Such indemnification obligation shall survive the First Closing and the Second Closing.  In addition, Seller acknowledges that the T-Mobile Lease currently lacks a graphical depiction of the premises leased pursuant to the T-Mobile Lease and that Seller is currently seeking an amendment to the T-Mobile Lease clarifying the location of the premises.  Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Buyer harmless from and against any costs, damages, liabilities, losses, expenses, liens or claims (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs), not to exceed Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00), incurred by Buyer as a result of the T-Mobile Lease’s failure to identify the premises; provided, however, that Buyer agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, Seller shall have the right, without need for Buyer’s consent, to pursue T-Mobile, both prior and subsequent to the First Closing, in order to obtain an amendment, letter agreement or certificate from T-Mobile, in a form reasonably approved in writing by Buyer, confirming the location of the premises in a location generally consistent with the location thereof shown on construction drawings therefor already delivered to Buyer. Upon receipt of any such amendment, letter agreement or certificate in a form reasonably approved in writing by Buyer, Seller shall deliver a copy thereof to Buyer, at which time all of Seller’s obligation to indemnify, defend and hold Buyer harmless from the T-Mobile’s Lease’s failure to identify the premises therein as provided above shall terminate. Subject to the terms of the preceding sentence, Seller’s indemnity obligation set forth herein shall survive the First Closing and the Second Closing.
