EXHIBIT B
TENANT WORK LETTER
This Tenant Work Letter shall set forth the terms and conditions relating to the initial improvement of the Fourth Expansion Premises for Tenant following the date of this Sixth Amendment. This Tenant Work Letter is essentially organized chronologically and addresses the issues of construction, in sequence, as such issues will arise during construction in the Premises.
SECTION 1
POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES
Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has thoroughly examined the Fourth Expansion Premises. On the Effective Date, Landlord shall tender possession of the Premises to Tenant in its presently existing, “as-is” condition, subject to Section 6 of the Sixth Amendment. Except for the payment of the Tenant Improvement Allowance as provided in Section 2, below, Landlord shall have no obligation to make or pay for any improvements to the Fourth Expansion Premises.
SECTION 2
TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
2.1 Tenant Improvement Allowance. Commencing as of the Effective Date, Tenant shall be entitled to a one-time tenant improvement allowance for the Fourth Expansion Premises in the amount of $4,329,300.00 (i.e., $100.00 per RSF of the Fourth Expansion Premises) (the “Tenant Improvement Allowance”), for the costs relating to the initial design and construction of Tenant’s improvements, which are permanently affixed to the Premises or which are “Tenant Improvement Allowance Items,” as that term is defined in Section 2.2.1, below (collectively, the “Tenant Improvements”). In no event shall Landlord be obligated to make disbursements pursuant to this Tenant Work Letter or otherwise in connection with Tenant’s construction of the Tenant Improvements or any Tenant Improvement Allowance Items, as defined below, in a total amount which exceeds the sum of 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; provided, however, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant given concurrently with Landlord’s approval of the “Final Working Drawings”, as that term is defined in Section 3.3, below, require Tenant, prior to the end of the Lease Term, or given following any earlier termination of this Lease, at Tenant’s expense, to remove any Tenant Improvements and to repair any damage to the Fourth Expansion Premises and Building caused by such removal and return the affected portion of the Fourth Expansion Premises to a Building standard general office condition. Landlord hereby approves the DGA space plan attached hereto as Schedule 1 (“DGA Plan”). So long as the Final Space Plan, Final Working Drawings and corresponding Tenant Improvements are consistent with and a logical extension of the DGA Plan, Landlord shall not require Tenant, whether at the end of the Lease Term, or following any earlier termination of the Lease, to pay for or remove any Tenant Improvements set forth on the Final Working Drawings, to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal, or to return the affected portion of the Premises to the condition in existence prior to the construction of the Tenant Improvements. Any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance that
4864-0699-3085.7 183305.00028/7-23-24/ejs/ejs | EXHIBIT B -1- |
|
is not disbursed or allocated for disbursement by date that twelve (12) months after the Fourth Expansion Commencement Date (subject to delays caused by Landlord), shall revert to Landlord and Tenant shall have no further rights with respect thereto.
2.2 Disbursement of the Tenant Improvement Allowance.

2.2.1.2 The payment of plan check, permit and license fees relating to construction of the Tenant Improvements;

2.2.1.5 The cost of any changes in the Base Building when such changes are required by the Construction Drawings (including if such changes are due to the fact that such work is prepared on an unoccupied basis), such cost to include all direct architectural and/or engineering fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith;
2.2.1.6 The cost of any changes to the Construction Drawings or Tenant Improvements required by all applicable building codes (the “Code”);

2.2.2 Disbursement of Tenant Improvement Allowance.

2.2.2.1 Monthly Disbursements. On or before the fifth (5th) day of each calendar month, during the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements (or such other date as Landlord may designate), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord: (i) a request for reimbursement of amounts paid to the “Contractor,” as that term is defined in Section 4.1.1 of this Tenant Work Letter, approved by Tenant, in a form to be provided by Landlord, showing the schedule, by trade, of percentage of completion of the Tenant Improvements in the Fourth Expansion Premises, detailing the portion of the work completed and the portion not completed; (ii) invoices from all of “Tenant’s Agents,” as that term is defined in Section 4.1.2 of this Tenant Work Letter, for labor rendered and materials for the Fourth Expansion Premises; (iii) executed mechanic’s lien releases, as applicable, from all of Tenant’s Agents which shall comply with the appropriate provisions, as reasonably determined by Landlord, of California Civil Code Sections 8132, 8134, 8136 and 8138; and (iv) all other information reasonably requested by Landlord. Tenant’s request for payment shall be deemed Tenant’s acceptance and approval of the work furnished and/or the materials supplied as set forth in Tenant’s payment request. Within forty-five (45) days thereafter, and provided that Tenant has paid the “Tenant Contribution” as provided in Section 4.2.1, below, Landlord shall deliver a check to Tenant made payable to Tenant, or, if so directed by Tenant, to the Contractor, in payment of the lesser of: (A) the amounts so requested by Tenant as set forth in this Section 2.2.3.1, above (less the Tenant Contribution, if applicable), less a ten percent (10%) retention to be retained unless Landmark Builders is the Contractor (the aggregate amount of such retentions to be known as the “Final Retention”), and (B) the balance of any remaining available portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance if applicable (not including the Final Retention, provided that Landlord does not dispute any request for payment based on non-compliance of any work with the “Approved Working Drawings,” as that term is defined in Section 3.5 below, or due to any substandard work. Landlord’s payment of such amounts shall not be deemed Landlord’s approval or acceptance of the work furnished or materials supplied as set forth in Tenant’s payment request.
2.2.2.2 Final Deliveries. Following the completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord (i) properly executed final mechanic’s lien releases in compliance with both California Civil Code Section 8134 and either Section 8136 or Section 8138 from all of Tenant’s Agents, and a certificate certifying that the construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Fourth Expansion Premises has been substantially completed, and (ii) a “close-out package” in such customary format designated by Landlord (e.g., paper and/or electronic files) containing, without limitation, the following items (to the extent deemed necessary by Landlord): (a) as-built drawings and final record CAD drawings, (b) warranties and guarantees from all contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers, (c) all permits, approvals and other documents issued by any governmental agency in connection with the Tenant Improvements, (d) an independent air balance report, if required due to the nature of the Tenant Improvements, and (e) such other information or materials as may be reasonably requested by Landlord.

SECTION 3
CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS
3.1 Selection of Architect. Tenant shall retain an architect/space planner (the “Architect”) approved in advance by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) to prepare the Final Space Plan and Final Working Drawings as provided in Section 3.2 and 3.3, below. Tenant shall retain the engineering consultants or design/build subcontractors designated by Tenant and reasonably approved in advance by Landlord (the “Engineers”) to prepare all plans and engineering working drawings relating to the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, lifesafety, and sprinkler work in the Fourth Expansion Premises, which work is not part of the Base Building. All such plans and drawings shall comply with the drawing format and specifications reasonably determined by Landlord, and shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval. Tenant and Architect shall verify, in the field, the 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 any plans or 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.
3.2 Final Space Plan. Tenant shall supply Landlord with pdf copies of its final space plan for the Fourth Expansion Premises, digitally signed or acknowledged by Tenant, before any architectural working drawings or engineering drawings have been commenced. The final space plan (the “Final Space Plan”) shall include a layout and designation of all offices, labs, rooms and other partitioning, their intended use, and equipment to be contained therein. Landlord may request clarification or more specific drawings for special use items not included in the Final Space Plan. Landlord shall advise Tenant within five (5) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Final Space Plan for the Fourth Expansion Premises if the same is unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect. If Tenant is so advised, Tenant shall promptly cause the Final Space Plan to be revised to correct any deficiencies or other matters Landlord may reasonably require. If Landlord fails to respond to the Final Space Plan within the five (5) business day period set forth above, Tenant may send Landlord a reminder notice setting forth such failure containing the following sentence at the top of such notice in bold, capitalized font at least twelve (12) points in size: “LANDLORD’S FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS NOTICE WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS SHALL RESULT IN LANDLORD’S DEEMED APPROVAL OF TENANT’S FINAL SPACE PLAN” (the "Final Space Plan Reminder Notice"). Any such Final Space Plan Reminder Notice shall include a complete copy of the Final Space Plan. If Landlord fails to respond within three (3) business days after receipt of a Final Space Plan Reminder Notice, then the Final Space Plan shall be deemed approved by Landlord.
4864-0699-3085.7 183305.00028/7-23-24/ejs/ejs | EXHIBIT B -4- |
|
3.3 Final Working Drawings. After the Final Space Plan has been approved by Landlord, Tenant shall supply the Engineers with a complete listing of standard and non-standard equipment and specifications, including, without limitation, Title 24 calculations, electrical requirements and special electrical receptacle requirements for the Fourth Expansion Premises, to enable the Engineers and the Architect to complete the “Final Working Drawings” (as that term is defined below) in the manner as set forth below. Upon the approval of the Final Space Plan by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall promptly cause the Architect and the Engineers to complete the architectural and engineering drawings for the Fourth Expansion Premises, and Architect shall compile a fully coordinated set of architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing working drawings in a form which is sufficiently complete to allow all of Tenant’s Agents 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, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Tenant shall supply Landlord with CAD and pdf copies of such Final Working Drawings, digitally signed or acknowledged by Tenant. Landlord shall advise Tenant within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Final Working Drawings for the Fourth Expansion Premises if the same is unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect. If Tenant is so advised, Tenant shall promptly cause the Final Working Drawings to be revised in accordance with such review and any disapproval of Landlord in connection therewith. If Landlord fails to respond to the Final Working Drawings within the ten (10) business day period set forth above, Tenant may send Landlord a reminder notice setting forth such failure containing the following sentence at the top of such notice in bold, capitalized font at least twelve (12) points in size: “LANDLORD’S FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS NOTICE WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS SHALL RESULT IN LANDLORD’S DEEMED APPROVAL OF TENANT’S FINAL WORKING DRAWINGS” (the "Final Working Drawings Reminder Notice"). Any such Final Working Drawings Reminder Notice shall include a complete copy of the Final Working Drawings. If Landlord fails to respond within five (5) business days after receipt of a Final Working Drawings Reminder Notice, then the Final Working Drawings shall be deemed approved by Landlord.
3.4 Approved Working Drawings. The Final Working Drawings shall be approved by Landlord (the “Approved Working Drawings”) prior to the commencement of construction of the Fourth Expansion Premises by Tenant. Concurrently with Tenant’s delivery of the Final Working Drawings to Landlord for Landlord’s approval, Tenant may submit the same to the appropriate municipal authorities for all applicable building permits. Tenant hereby agrees that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s consultants shall be responsible for obtaining any building permit or certificate of occupancy for the Fourth Expansion Premises and that obtaining the same shall be Tenant’s responsibility; provided, however, that Landlord shall 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, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
3.5 Change Orders. If Tenant at any time desires any changes, alterations or additions to the Approved Working Drawings, Tenant shall submit a detailed written request to Landlord and PMA (as defined in Section 4.1.1 below) specifying such changes, alterations or additions (a “Tenant Change Request”), for Landlord’s approval. Landlord shall advise Tenant within three (3) business days after Landlord’s receipt of a Tenant Change Request if the same is unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect. If Tenant is so advised, Tenant shall promptly cause the Tenant
4864-0699-3085.7 183305.00028/7-23-24/ejs/ejs | EXHIBIT B -5- |
|
Change Request to be revised to correct any deficiencies or other matters Landlord may reasonably require. If Landlord fails to respond to the Tenant Change Request within the three (3) business day period set forth above, Tenant may send Landlord a reminder notice setting forth such failure containing the following sentence at the top of such notice in bold, capitalized font at least twelve (12) points in size: “LANDLORD’S FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS NOTICE WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS SHALL RESULT IN LANDLORD’S DEEMED APPROVAL OF A TENANT CHANGE REQUEST” (the “Change Request Reminder Notice”). Any such Change Request Reminder Notice shall include a complete copy of the applicable Tenant Change Request. If Landlord fails to respond within three (3) business days after receipt of a Change Request Reminder Notice, then the applicable Change Request shall be deemed approved by Landlord.
SECTION 4
CONSTRUCTION OF THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
4.1 Tenant’s Selection of Contractors.
4.1.1 The Contractor; Landlord’s Project Manager. Tenant shall retain a licensed general contractor, approved in advance by Landlord, to construct the Tenant Improvements (“Contractor”). Landlord’s approval of the Contractor shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord approves Landmark Builders as a Contractor. Landlord shall retain Project Management Advisors, Inc. (“PMA”) as a third party project manager for construction oversight of the Tenant Improvements on behalf of Landlord, and Tenant shall pay a fee to Landlord with respect to the PMA services equal to $1.89 per rentable square foot of the Fourth Expansion Premises, which amount shall be deducted from the Tenant Improvement Allowance as incurred.
4.1.2 Tenant’s Agents. All subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers used by Tenant (such subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers, and the Contractor to be known collectively as “Tenant’s Agents”). The subcontractors used by Tenant, but not any laborers, materialmen, and suppliers, must be approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; provided, however, Landlord may nevertheless designate and require the use of particular mechanical, engineering, plumbing, fire life-safety and other Base Building subcontractors. If Landlord does not approve any of Tenant’s proposed subcontractors, Tenant shall submit other proposed subcontractors for Landlord’s written approval.
4.2 Construction of Tenant Improvements by Tenant’s Agents.
4.2.1 Construction Contract; Cost Budget.
Tenant shall engage the Contractor under a commercially reasonable and customary construction contract, reasonably approved by Landlord (collectively, the “Contract”). Prior to the commencement of the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and after Tenant has accepted all bids for the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a detailed breakdown, by trade, of the final costs to be incurred or which have been incurred, as set forth more particularly in Sections 2.2.1.1 through 2.2.1.10, above, in connection with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements to be performed by or at the direction of Tenant or the Contractor, which costs form a basis for the estimated total costs of the work of the Tenant Improvement project (the “Final Budget”). If the Final Budget exceeds the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (less any portion thereof already disbursed by Landlord, or in the process of being disbursed by
4864-0699-3085.7 183305.00028/7-23-24/ejs/ejs | EXHIBIT B -6- |
|
Landlord, on or before the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements)(the “Over-Allowance Amount”), then Tenant shall pay a percentage of each amount requested to be paid to the Contractor or otherwise disbursed under this Tenant Work Letter (the “Tenant Contribution”), which percentage shall be equal to the amount of the Over-Allowance Amount divided by the amount of the Final Costs, and such payment by Tenant shall be a condition to Landlord’s obligation to pay any amounts of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. In the event that the costs relating to the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements shall be in excess of the estimated amount as set forth in the Final Costs, any such excess shall be paid by Tenant out of its own funds, but Tenant shall continue to provide Landlord with the documents described in Sections 2.2.2.1 (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this Tenant Work Letter, above, for Landlord’s approval, prior to Tenant paying such costs.
4.2.2 Tenant’s Agents.
4.2.2.1 Compliance with Drawings and Schedule. Tenant’s and Tenant’s Agent’s construction of the Tenant Improvements shall comply with the following: (i) the Tenant Improvements shall be constructed in strict accordance with the Approved Working Drawings; and (ii) Tenant’s Agents shall submit schedules of all work relating to the Tenant’s Improvements to Contractor and Contractor shall, within five (5) business days of receipt thereof, inform Tenant’s Agents of any changes which are necessary thereto, and Tenant’s Agents shall adhere to such corrected schedule.
4.2.2.2 Indemnity. Tenant’s indemnity of Landlord as set forth in this Lease shall also apply with respect to any and all costs, losses, damages, injuries and liabilities related in any way to any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or in connection with Tenant’s non-payment of any amount arising out of the Tenant Improvements and/or Tenant’s disapproval of all or any portion of any request for payment. Such indemnity by Tenant, as set forth in this Lease, shall also apply with respect to any and all costs, losses, damages, injuries and liabilities related in any way to Landlord’s performance of any ministerial acts reasonably necessary (i) to permit Tenant to complete the Tenant Improvements, and (ii) to enable Tenant to obtain any building permit or certificate of occupancy for the Fourth Expansion Premises.
