completion of the work under the Contract (“Substantial Completion”). All such warranties as to materials or workmanship of or with respect to the Tenant Improvements shall be contained in the Contract or subcontract and shall be written such that such warranties shall inure to the benefit of both Landlord and Tenant, as their respective interests may appear, and can be directly enforced by either.

4.2.2.4 Insurance Requirements.

4.2.2.4.1 General Coverages. All of Tenant’s Agents shall carry worker’s compensation insurance covering all of their respective employees, and shall also carry public liability insurance, including property damage, all with limits, in form and with companies as are required to be carried by Tenant’s contractors as set forth in Section 7.1 of the Lease.

4.2.2.4.2 Special Coverages. Tenant shall carry “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount approved by Landlord covering the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and such other insurance as Landlord may require, but Landlord shall insure the Tenant Improvements pursuant to the Lease immediately upon completion thereof in the same manner as Landlord is required to insure the “Tenant Improvements constructed by Landlord” pursuant to Section 10.1(d) of the Lease. Such insurance shall be in amounts and shall include such extended coverage endorsements as may be reasonably required by Landlord including, but not limited to, the requirement that all of Tenant’s Agents, including all contractors, shall carry general liability, including Products and Completed Operation Coverage insurance, each in amounts not less than (i) for the Contractor, $5,000,000 per incident, $5,000,000 in aggregate, and (ii) for subcontractors, $2,000,000 per incident, $2,000,000 in aggregate (or such lesser amounts as are reasonably approved in advance by Landlord), as well as workers compensation insurance and in form and with companies as are required to be carried by Tenant’s contractors as set forth in the Lease.

Tenant shall provide Landlord notice of any cancellation or lapse of the effective date or reduction in the amounts of such insurance promptly following Tenant’s receipt of such notice from its insurer. In the event that the Tenant Improvements are damaged by any cause during the course of the construction thereof, Tenant shall immediately repair the same at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant’s Agents shall maintain all of the foregoing insurance coverage in force until the Tenant Improvements are fully completed and accepted by Landlord, except for Products and Completed Operations Coverage insurance required by Landlord, which is to be maintained for a commercially reasonable period following completion of the Tenant Improvements and acceptance by Landlord and Tenant. The builders risk policy carried under this Section 4.2.2.4 shall name Tenant’s agents and Landlord as Additional Insureds. All insurance maintained by Tenant’s Agents shall preclude subrogation claims by the insurer against anyone insured thereunder, and the public liability insurance shall name Landlord, HCP, Inc., Project Management Advisors, Inc., CB Richard Ellis, or other manager of the Project, as

EXHIBIT A

7

an additional insured or loss payee, as applicable. Such insurance shall provide that it is primary insurance and that any other insurance maintained by Landlord is excess and noncontributing with the insurance required hereunder, The requirements for the foregoing insurance shall not serve to limit the indemnification of Landlord by Tenant under Section 4.2.2.2 of this Tenant Work Letter. If the Over-Allowance Amount is more than fifty percent of the total amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, then Landlord may, in its reasonable discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion of the Tenant Improvements and naming Landlord as a co-obligee.

4.2.3 Governmental Compliance. The Tenant Improvements shall comply in all respects with the following: (i) all state, federal, city or quasi-governmental laws, codes, ordinances and regulations, as each may apply according to the rulings of the controlling public official, agent or other person; (ii) applicable standards of the American Insurance Association (formerly, the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and the National Electrical Code; and (iii) building material manufacturer’s specifications.

4.2.4 Inspection by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to reasonably inspect the Tenant Improvements at all times, provided however, that Landlord’s failure to inspect the Tenant Improvements shall in no event constitute a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights hereunder nor shall Landlord’s inspection of the Tenant Improvements constitute Landlord’s approval of the same. Should Landlord reasonably disapprove any portion of the Tenant Improvements, on the grounds that the construction is defective or fails to comply with the Approved Working Drawings, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of such disapproval and shall specify the items disapproved. Any such defects or deviations shall be rectified by Tenant at no expense to Landlord, provided however, that in the event Landlord determines that a defect or deviation exists that might adversely affect the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating and air conditioning or life-safety systems of the Building, the structure or exterior appearance of the Building or any other tenant’s use of such other tenant’s leased premises, Landlord may, take such action as Landlord reasonably deems necessary, at Tenant’s expense and without incurring any liability on Landlord’s part, to correct any such defect and/or deviation, including, without limitation, causing the cessation of performance of the construction of the Tenant Improvements until such time as the defect and/or deviation is corrected to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction.

4.2.5 Meetings. Commencing upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall hold weekly meetings at a reasonable time, as reasonably required, with the Architect and the Contractor regarding the progress of the preparation of Construction Drawings and the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and Landlord and/or its agents shall receive prior notice of, and shall have the right to attend, all such meetings, and, upon Landlord’s request, certain of Tenant’s Agents shall attend such meetings. In addition, minutes shall be taken at all such meetings, a copy of which minutes shall be promptly delivered to Landlord. One such meeting each month shall include the review of Contractor’s current request for payment.

4.3 Notice of Completion; Copy of Record Set of Plans. Within ten (10) days after completion of construction of The Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall cause a valid Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the county in which the Building is

EXHIBIT A

located in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, and shall furnish a copy thereof to Landlord upon such recordation. If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may execute and file the same on behalf of Tenant as Tenant’s agent for such purpose, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. At the conclusion of construction, (i) Tenant shall cause the Architect and Contractor (x) to update the Approved Working Drawings as necessary to reflect all changes made to the Approved Working Drawings during the course of construction, (y) to certify to the best of their knowledge that the “record-set” of as-built drawings are true and correct, which certification shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease, and (z) to deliver to Landlord two (2) sets of copies of such record set of drawings (hard copy and CAD files) within ninety (90) days following issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Premises, and (ii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of all warranties and operating manuals and information relating to the Tenant Improvements. Within fifteen (15) days after request by Tenant following the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord will acknowledge its approval of the Tenant Improvements (provided that such approval has been granted) by placing its signature on a Contractor’s Certificate of Substantial Completion fully executed by the Architect, Contractor and Tenant. Landlord’s approval shall not create any contingent liabilities for Landlord with respect to any latent quality, design, Code compliance or other like matters that may arise subsequent to Landlord’s approval.
