4. Signage. Subject to Tenant’s compliance with the terms of this Paragraph 4, Tenant is hereby granted the right to install one (1) panel (“Tenant’s Panel”) on a monument sign to be constructed on the Project (“Monument Sign”), the location of which shall be determined in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. The size, design, color and other physical aspects of Tenant’s Panel to be located on the Monument Sign will be subject to (i) Landlord’s written approval prior to installation, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (ii) any covenants, conditions or restrictions governing the Project, including, without limitation, Landlord’s signage criteria, and (iii) any applicable municipal or governmental permits and approvals.

Neither Tenant nor any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease shall take any action that would cause the Lease or the exercise by Landlord or the Trust of any rights hereunder, to be a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Lease, Tenant shall not assign the Lease or sublease all or any portion of the New Premises unless (i) such assignee or subtenant delivers to Landlord a certification (in form and content satisfactory to Landlord) with respect to the status of such assignee or subtenant (and any guarantor of such assignee’s or subtenant’s obligations) as a party in interest and a disqualified person, as provided above; and (ii) such assignee or subtenant undertakes not to take any action that would cause the Lease or the exercise by Landlord or the Trust of any rights hereunder, to constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Lease, Tenant shall not (a) sublease all or any portion of the New Premises under a sublease in which the rent is based on the net income or net profits of any person, or (b) take any other action with respect to the Lease or the New Premises such that the revenues to be received by Landlord or the Trust from time to time in connection with the Lease would, as a result of such action, be subject to the Unrelated Business Income Tax under Sections 511 through 514 of the Code.

Tenant agrees that it shall incorporate the requirements of this Section 9 in any sublease of the New Premises (without implying Landlord’s consent thereto).

7. Labor. Tenant shall use Union Labor (defined below) for all maintenance, repair, and replacement of the New Premises (the “Maintenance Labor Covenant”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maintenance Labor Covenant shall not apply to (i) the services for installation, operation, maintenance and repair of personal property owned exclusively by Tenant (e.g., computer systems, telephones, and furniture other than modular furniture) or for any of Tenant’s specialized equipment, (ii) a specific item or instance of maintenance, repair or replacement to the extent Union Labor is not available in the market to perform such specific item or instance of maintenance, repair or replacement, and/or (iii) maintenance, repairs and replacements that may be and are self-performed by the existing staff of Tenant without the retention, engagement or hiring of any third party or additional employee. Tenant shall (a) include the Maintenance Labor Covenant in each of its service contracts, (b) provide such evidence as Landlord may reasonably require, from time to time during the Lease Term, that the Maintenance Labor Covenant is being fully and faithfully observed and Tenant shall include the obligation to provide such evidence in each service contract entered into by Tenant for such services, and (c) incorporate the foregoing requirements in any sublease, license, or occupancy agreement relating to all or any part of the New Premises (without implying Landlord’s consent to same).

Tenant shall require that all contractors and subcontractors, of whatever tier, performing Construction Activities agree to submit all construction jurisdictional disputes (i.e., disputes about which union is the appropriate union to perform a given contract) to final and binding arbitration to the procedures of the jointly administered “Plan for the Settlement of Jurisdictional Disputes in the Construction Industry,” a dispute resolution plan established and administered by The Building and Construction Trades Department, AFL-CIO, and various construction industry employer associations. If a resolution to a construction-related jurisdictional dispute cannot be obtained through The Building and Construction Trades Department, AFL-CIO, contractors and subcontractors, of whatever tier, shall agree to submit all such disputes to final and binding arbitration procedures to be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and in conformity with AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules, Expedited Procedures, with an arbitrator who is an experienced labor arbitrator and is a member of the National Academy of Arbitration.

Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord, its trustees, members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, mortgagee(s) and agents, and the respective principals and members of any such agents harmless from all claims of any brokers claiming to have represented Tenant in connection with this Amendment (other than Broker).

9. No Other Modifications. Except as modified in this Agreement, all other terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. To the extent of a conflict between the terms of the Lease and the terms of this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall prevail. A breach by Tenant of any of the terms of this Amendment shall constitute a material breach by Tenant of the Lease as to which Landlord shall have all rights and remedies.

EXHIBIT “A”

WORK LETTER AGREEMENT

This WORK LETTER AGREEMENT (“Tenant Work Letter”) is made as of the __ day of May, 2009 by and between BIXBY TECHNOLOGY CENTER, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and TIVO INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).

RECITALS:

A. Concurrently herewith, Landlord and Tenant have entered into a lease amendment (the “Amendment”) covering the Premises. All terms not defined herein have the same meaning as set forth in the Lease. To the extent applicable, the provisions of the Lease are incorporated herein by this reference.

B. In order to induce Tenant to enter into the Amendment and in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

 

1. TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.

1.1 Tenant Improvements. As used in the Lease and this Tenant Work Letter, the term “Tenant Improvements” or “Tenant Improvement Work” or “Tenant’s Work” means those items of general tenant improvement construction contemplated to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Tenant’s Work is contemplated to be performed in phases (each, a “Phase”). Prior to commencing work on any Phase, Tenant shall comply with the terms of this Tenant Work Letter, including, without limitation, Paragraph 3.

1.2 Work Schedule. Prior to commencing construction on any Phase, Tenant will deliver to Landlord, for Landlord’s review and approval, a schedule (“Work Schedule”) which will set forth the timetable for the planning and completion of the installation of the Tenant Improvements.

 

2. CONSTRUCTION REPRESENTATIVES.

2.1 Landlord hereby appoints the following person(s) as Landlord’s representative (“Landlord’s Representative”) to act for Landlord in all matters covered by this Tenant Work Letter: _________________________.

2.2 Tenant hereby appoints the following person(s) as Tenant’s representative (“Tenant’s Representative”) to act for Tenant in all matters covered by this Tenant Work Letter: _________________________.

2.3 All communications with respect to the matters covered by this Tenant Work Letter are to be made to Landlord’s Representative or Tenant’s Representative, as the case may be, in writing in compliance with the notice provisions of the Lease. Either party may change its representative under this Work Letter Agreement at any time by written notice to the other party in compliance with the notice provisions of the Lease.

 

3. TENANT IMPROVEMENT PLANS.

3.1 Preparation of Space Plans. In accordance with the Work Schedule, Landlord agrees to meet with Tenant’s architect and/or space planner for the purpose of promptly preparing preliminary space plans for the layout of Premises (“Space Plans”). The Space Plans are to be sufficient to convey the architectural design of the Premises and layout of the Tenant Improvements therein and are to be submitted to Landlord in accordance with the Work Schedule for Landlord’s approval. If Landlord reasonably disapproves any aspect of the Space Plans, Landlord will advise Tenant in writing of such disapproval and the reasons therefor in accordance with the Work Schedule. Tenant will then submit to Landlord for Landlord’s approval, in accordance with the Work Schedule, a redesign of the Space Plans incorporating the revisions reasonably required by Landlord.

3.2 Preparation of Final Plans. Based on the approved Space Plans, and in accordance with the Work Schedule, Tenant’s architect will prepare complete architectural plans, drawings and specifications and complete engineered mechanical, structural and electrical working drawings for all of the Tenant Improvements for the Premises (collectively, the “Final Plans”). The Final Plans will show (a) the subdivision (including partitions and walls), layout, lighting, finish and decoration work (including carpeting and other floor coverings) for the Premises; (b) all internal and external communications and utility facilities which will require conduiting or other improvements from the base building shell work and/or within common areas; and (c) all other specifications for the Tenant Improvements. The Final Plans will be submitted to Landlord for signature to confirm that they are consistent with the Space Plans. If Landlord reasonably disapproves any aspect of the Final Plans based on any inconsistency with the Space Plans, Landlord agrees to advise Tenant in writing of such disapproval and the reasons therefor within the time frame set forth in the Work Schedule. In accordance with the Work Schedule, Tenant will then cause Tenant’s architect to redesign the Final Plans incorporating the revisions reasonably requested by Landlord so as to make the Final Plans consistent with the Space Plans.
