CONSTRUCTION RIDER

1. Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall with reasonable diligence through a general contractor designated by Tenant and approved by Landlord (which contractor may be an affiliate of Landlord) construct and install in the Additional Expansion Premises the improvements and fixtures provided for in this Construction Rider (“Tenant Improvements”). All of the Tenant Improvements shall be constructed and installed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and Landlord shall have no obligation to construct any tenant improvements or alterations in the Additional Expansion Premises; provided, however, that Landlord shall contribute to the cost of Tenant Improvements described herein the Tenant Improvement Allowance set forth in Section 10.1 of this Amendment and Section 1.3 of this Construction Rider, and Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, renovate the restroom serving the Additional Expansion Premises in compliance with all applicable laws, including but not limited to the Americans with Disabilities Act, with the scope of such renovation, materials used, and timing of completion to be determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion. Landlord and Tenant each shall designate in writing an individual authorized to act as a representative of each respective party with respect to all approvals, directions and authorizations pursuant to this Construction Rider.

1.1 Plans.

1.1.1 Space Plan; Construction Documents. The Tenant Improvements shall be constructed substantially as shown on the plans for the Additional Expansion Premises prepared by the space planner retained by Tenant as the space planner for the Additional Expansion Premises (“Space Planner”), which space plan shall be promptly delivered to Landlord for Landlord’s review and prior approval prior to the commencement of construction of Tenant Improvements (the “Space Plan”). Tenant shall also retain engineering consultants reasonably approved by Landlord (the “Engineers”) (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), to prepare all plans and engineering construction documents relating to the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, life safety, and sprinkler work in the Additional Expansion Premises. The plans and drawings to be prepared by the Engineers and the Space Plan to be prepared by the Space Planner may collectively be referred to as the “Construction Documents.”

1.1.2 Construction Documents. Tenant shall promptly cause the Space Planner and the Engineers to complete the architectural and engineering drawings for the Additional Expansion Premises, and the Space Planner shall compile a fully coordinated set of architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing Construction Documents in a form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work and to obtain all applicable permits (collectively, the “Final Construction Documents”) and shall submit the same to Landlord for Landlord’s approval. Tenant shall supply Landlord with two (2) copies signed by Tenant of such Final Construction Documents. Landlord shall, within five (5) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Final Construction Documents, either (i) approve the Final Construction Documents, (ii) approve the Final Construction Documents subject to specified conditions to be satisfied by Tenant prior to submitting the approved Final Construction Documents for permits as set forth below, if the Final Construction Documents are inconsistent with the Space Plan, or

 

9


(iii) disapprove and return the Final Construction Documents to Tenant with requested revisions if the Final Construction Documents are inconsistent with the Space Plan. If Landlord disapproves the Final Construction Documents, Tenant may resubmit the Final Construction Documents to Landlord at any time, and Landlord shall approve or disapprove of the resubmitted Final Construction Documents, based upon the criteria set forth in this Section 1.1.2 within three (3) business days after Landlord receives such resubmitted Final Construction Documents.

Once approved by Landlord as set forth above, the Final Construction Documents shall be referred to as the “Approved Construction Documents,” and such Final Construction Documents shall be so approved by Landlord prior to the commencement of construction of the Additional Expansion Premises by Tenant. After approval by Landlord of the Final Construction Documents, Tenant shall cause the Space Planner to submit the Approved Construction Documents to the appropriate municipal authorities for all architectural and structural permits (the “Permits”), provided that (a) the Space Planner shall provide Landlord with a copy of the package that it intends to submit prior to such submission, and (b) if there are Building modifications required to obtain the Permits, then Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior written consent to any such Building modifications. Tenant hereby agrees that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s consultants shall be responsible for obtaining any certificate of occupancy (or other documentation or approval allowing Tenant to legally occupy the Additional Expansion Premises) for the Additional Expansion Premises and that obtaining the same shall be Tenant’s responsibility; provided, however, that Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in performing ministerial acts reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to obtain any such certificate of occupancy (or other documentation or approval allowing Tenant to legally occupy the Additional Expansion Premises). No changes, modifications or alterations in the Approved Construction Documents may be made without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

1.2 Construction of Tenant Improvements.

1.2.1 Contractor; Tenant’s Representatives. Tenant shall retain a qualified and licensed general contractor selected by Tenant in Tenant’s reasonable discretion and approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld) (the “Contractor”) for the construction of the Tenant Improvements, which Contractor shall be a qualified, reputable, general contractor experienced in class A office building tenant improvement construction in the greater Los Angeles area. The Space Planner, Engineers, Contractor, other contractors, subcontractors, consultants, laborers, vendors, and material suppliers retained and/or used by Tenant in connection with the Tenant Improvements shall be known collectively as “Tenant’s Representatives.”

1.2.2 Construction Contract; Final Cost Estimate. Prior to commencement of construction, Tenant shall submit a copy of the executed contract with the Contractor for the construction of Tenant Improvements, including the general conditions with Contractor (the “Contract”) to Landlord for its records. Prior to the commencement of the construction of Tenant Improvements, and after Tenant has accepted all bids and proposals for the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall provide Landlord with (i) a detailed breakdown, by trade, for all of Tenant’s Representatives, of the final estimated costs to be incurred or which have been incurred in connection with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements to be performed by or at the direction of Tenant or the Contractor (the “Final Cost Estimate”), which costs shall include, but not be limited to, the costs of the Space Planner’s and Engineers’ fees and the Landlord construction coordination fee as set forth in Section 2 below.

 

10


1.2.3 Construction. Upon Tenant’s receipt of Approved Construction Documents and Permits, Tenant shall proceed with reasonable diligence to cause the Tenant Improvements to be Substantially Completed as soon as reasonably practicable following the Additional Expansion Premises Delivery Date. The Tenant Improvements shall be deemed to be “Substantially Completed” when they have been completed in accordance with the Approved Construction Documents except for finishing details, minor omissions, decorations and mechanical adjustments of the type normally found on an architectural “punch list.” (The definition of Substantially Completed shall also define the terms “Substantial Completion” and “Substantially Complete.”)

Following Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall inspect the Additional Expansion Premises and prepare a “punch list” of agreed items of construction remaining to be completed. Tenant shall complete the items set forth in the punch list as soon as reasonably possible.

1.2.4 Indemnity; Insurance. Tenant’s indemnity of Landlord as set forth in Article 10 of the 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 Representatives, 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. All of Tenant’s Representatives shall carry worker’s compensation insurance covering all of their respective employees, and shall also carry commercial general liability insurance, including property damage, all with limits, in form and with companies as are required to be carried by Tenant as set forth in Article 11 of the Lease, and the policies therefor shall insure Landlord and Tenant, as their interests may appear, as well as the Contractor and subcontractors. Additionally, Tenant or Contractor shall also carry “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount approved by Landlord, which shall in no event be less than the amount actually carried by Tenant or Contractor, covering the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and such other insurance as Landlord may require, it being understood and agreed that the Tenant Improvements shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 11 of the Lease immediately upon completion thereof. Such insurance shall be in amounts and shall include such extended coverage endorsements as may be reasonably required by Landlord.

1.3 Cost of Tenant Improvements. As set forth in Section 10.1 of this Amendment, Landlord shall contribute a one-time Tenant Improvement Allowance in the amount equal to Thirty-Two and 50/100 Dollars ($32.50) per rentable square foot of the Additional Expansion Premises toward third party hard costs for the construction of Tenant Improvements (specifically excluding soft costs such as costs relating to Tenant’s fixtures, furniture, equipment, personal property, and data cabling). Landlord shall only be obligated to make disbursements from the Tenant Improvement Allowance to the extent costs are incurred by Tenant for the Tenant Improvements. The Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be paid to Tenant within ten (10) business days of the date that Tenant has provided to Landlord an invoice(s) from Tenant’s contractor in an amount at least equal to the Tenant Improvement Allowance, and lien waiver(s) in connection therewith. In the event that Landlord has failed to pay to Tenant, when due, any

 

11


portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall provide to Landlord written notice thereof. If Landlord’s failure to pay continues for fifteen (15) business days following such first written notice, Tenant may offset the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance due to Tenant from Rent due to Landlord. Such offset shall end when Tenant has offset the full amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance owed to Tenant.

The balance, if any, of the cost of the Tenant Improvements (“Additional Cost”), including, but not limited to, soft costs, usual markups for overhead, supervision and profit, shall be paid by Tenant, with all payments made by Tenant directly to Tenant’s Representatives, and such payment by Tenant shall be a condition to Landlord’s obligation to pay any amounts of the Tenant Improvement Allowance.

1.4 Changes. If Tenant requests any material change, addition or alteration in or to any Approved Construction Documents (“Changes”) Tenant shall (i) inform the Landlord of the desired Changes and obtain Landlord’s written approval thereof which shall be granted or withheld in accordance with the terms of Section 1.1.2 within no more than three (3) business days after the date of Tenant’s request for approval (and if Landlord has not responded within such three (3)-day period, such request for a Change shall be deemed approved); (ii) following Landlord’s approval of Changes, cause the Space Planner to prepare additional plans implementing such Changes; and (iii) promptly pay the cost of preparing additional plans directly to the Space Planner.

2. Construction Coordination Fee. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the construction coordination fee in accordance with the terms of Section 6.3 of the Lease.

3. Ownership of Tenant Improvements. All Tenant Improvements, whether installed by Landlord or Tenant and whether installed at Tenant’s cost or with the use of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, shall become a part of the Additional Expansion Premises, shall be the property of Landlord and, subject to the provisions of the Lease, shall be surrendered by Tenant with the Additional Expansion Premises, without any compensation to Tenant, at the expiration or termination of the Lease in accordance with the provisions of the Lease.
