WHEREAS,
A.Landlord and Tenant are parties to that certain Lease dated October 15, 2010 (the “Original Lease”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Office Lease dated October 3, 2011 (the “First Amendment”), covering space in the property located at 120 Broadway, Santa Monica, California 90401 (the “Building”), commonly known as Suite 200 (which contains 17,412 rentable square feet [15,000 usable square feet] and shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Existing Premises”);
B.The Term expires May 31, 2016, which Term Landlord and Tenant wish to hereby extend;
C.Tenant wishes to expand its occupancy within the Building to include: (i) that portion of the second (2nd) floor of the Building commonly known as Suite 220/260 together with the lobby, corridor areas and restrooms on the second (2nd) floor of the Building (which contain 7,451 rentable square feet [7,125 usable square feet] and shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Second Floor Expansion Space”); and (ii) the entire fifth (5th) floor of the Building (which contains 13,423 rentable square feet [11,620 usable square feet] commonly known as Suite 500 (the “Fifth Floor Expansion Space”). The Second Floor Expansion Space and the Fifth Floor Expansion Space contain, in the aggregate, 20,874 rentable square feet (18,745 usable square feet) and shall sometimes hereinafter be together referred to as the “Expansion Space”). As more fully set forth in Section 4 of this Second Amendment, the Second Floor Expansion Space includes Tenant’s exclusive use of the patio located on the second (2nd) floor, and the Fifth Floor Expansion Space includes Tenant’s exclusive use of the balconies on the fifth (5th) floor, all as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof. Landlord has conditionally agreed to the expansion of the Premises to include the Expansion Space contingent upon Tenant’s acceptance of and compliance with the provisions of this Second Amendment; and
D.Landlord and Tenant, for their mutual benefit, now wish to extend the Term and revise certain other covenants and provisions of the Original Lease, as amended by the First Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and provisions contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge, Landlord and Tenant agree:
1.Confirmation of Defined Terms. Unless expressly modified herein, all terms previously defined and capitalized in the Original Lease, as amended by the First Amendment, shall have the same meanings given to them in the Original Lease, as amended by the First Amendment for the purposes of this Second Amendment. The Original Lease, as modified by the First Amendment and this Second Amendment, shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as the “Lease.”
2.Extension of Existing Premises Term. The Term of the Lease for the Existing Premises is hereby extended for a period of nine (9) years and seven (7) months (the “Extended Term”), from and including June 1, 2016 (the “Effective Date”) through and including December 31, 2025 (the “Termination Date”).
3.Expansion Date, Delivery Date and Expansion Term. The term of the Lease with respect to the Expansion Space shall commence on the applicable Expansion Date (as hereinafter defined) and continue through the Termination Date (the “Expansion Term”). The “Second Floor Expansion Date”
1

shall be the earlier of: (i) the date Tenant commences doing business from any portion of the Second Floor Expansion Space; or (ii) the date that is five (5) months after the date that Landlord delivers the Second Floor Expansion Space to Tenant for construction of the applicable Improvements (as defined in Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof) thereto (the “Second Floor Delivery Date”). The “Fifth Floor Expansion Date” shall be the earlier of: (i) the date Tenant commences doing business from any portion of the Fifth Floor Expansion Space; or (ii) the date that is five (5) months after the date that Landlord delivers the Fifth Floor Expansion Space to Tenant for construction of the applicable Improvements thereto (the “Fifth Floor Delivery Date”). For purposes of this Second Amendment: (a) the Second Floor Expansion Date and the Fifth Floor Expansion Date are sometimes together referred to as the “Expansion Date”; and (b) the Second Floor Delivery Date and the Fifth Floor Delivery Date are sometimes together referred to as the “Delivery Date”. Landlord shall deliver possession of the Second Floor Expansion Space and the Fifth Floor Expansion Space, respectively, to Tenant on the first business day following the date Landlord obtains legal possession of each such portion of the Expansion Space from the current tenant thereof so that Tenant may commence construction of the Improvements. The anticipated Delivery Date for the entire Expansion Space is January 1, 2016; however, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Second Floor Delivery Date and the Fifth Floor Delivery Date may not occur on the same date. Likewise, the anticipated Expansion Date for the entire Expansion Space is June 1, 2016; however, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Second Floor Expansion Date and the Fifth Floor Expansion Date may not occur on the same date. Tenant’s occupancy of the Expansion Space from and after the Delivery Date and prior to the Expansion Date shall be upon all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, except that Tenant shall not be obligated to pay the Fixed Monthly Rent and Additional Rent attributable to the Second Floor Expansion Space until the Second Floor Expansion Date, and Tenant shall not be obligated to pay the Fixed Monthly Rent and Additional Rent attributable to the Fifth Floor Expansion Space until the Fifth Floor Expansion Date. Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute an amendment to the Lease (the “Memorandum”) confirming the finalized Expansion Date and Expansion Term as soon as they are determined for the entire Expansion Space. Tenant shall execute the Memorandum and return it to Landlord within five (5) business days after receipt thereof. Failure of Tenant to timely execute and deliver the Memorandum shall constitute an acknowledgement by Tenant that the statements included in such Memorandum are true and correct, without exception.
4.Expansion of Premises. As of the later of the Expansion Dates to occur: (i) the Usable Area of the Premises shall increase from 15,000 usable square feet to 33,745 usable square feet and the Rentable Area of the Premises shall increase from 17,412 rentable square feet to 38,286 rentable square feet; and (ii) the definition of the Premises shall be revised to include both the Existing Premises and the Expansion Space, and wherever in the Lease the word “Premises” is found, it shall thereafter refer to both the Existing Premises and the Expansion Space together, as if both had been originally included in the Lease. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Second Floor Expansion Space includes the patio space on the 2nd floor, and that the Fifth Floor Expansion Space includes the balcony spaces on the 5th floor, and Tenant shall have full and exclusive access to and use of said patio and balconies; however, the square footage of said patio and balconies shall not be included in the Usable Area or the Rentable Area of the Expansion Space or the Premises.
Landlord engaged an independent third party space plan audit firm to measure the Usable Area of the Expansion Space using the 2010 ANSI/BOMA Standard published collectively by the American National Standards Institute and the Building Owners’ and Managers’ Association (“ANSI/BOMA Standard”) as a guideline. Based upon such measurement Landlord has been advised that the accurate Usable Area of the Second Floor Expansion Space is approximately 7,125 square feet and the accurate Usable Area of Suite 500 is approximately 11,620 usable square feet. The Rentable Area of the Second Floor Expansion Space is hereby agreed to be approximately 7,451 square feet and the Rentable Area of Suite 500 is hereby agreed to be approximately 13,423 square feet.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted to defer payment to Landlord of one hundred percent (100%) of the Fixed Monthly Rent due for the Expansion Space for the months of July 2016, June 2017 and June 2018 (collectively, the amount of Fixed Monthly Rent deferred with respect to the Expansion Space shall be referred to herein as the “Expansion Space Rent Deferral Amount”). So long as Tenant has not committed a Material Default during the Expansion Term, Landlord shall fully and forever abate and forgive the entire Expansion Space Rent Deferral Amount as of the Termination Date; provided, however, that if, during the Extended Term, Tenant does commit a Material Default, then (a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) business days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s written demand, the entire Expansion Space Rent Deferral Amount due for the months of the Expansion Term prior to the month in which such Material Default occurred, including late charges, as if the rent deferral had not occurred, and (b) Tenant shall not be entitled to any additional or future deferral of Fixed Monthly Rent with respect to the Expansion Space; provided that, if Tenant cures such Material Default, Tenant’s right to defer certain installments of the Fixed Monthly Rent for the Expansion Space under this section shall be fully reinstated as to all months to which such deferral applies, Landlord shall promptly reimburse to Tenant any Expansion Space Rent Deferral Amount that Tenant paid to Landlord prior to Tenant’s cure of its Material Default, and Tenant shall be entitled to defer payment of the Fixed Monthly Rent for the Expansion Space for all months to which such deferral right applies hereunder.
All payments of Fixed Monthly Rent for the Expansion Space shall be made in immediately available funds.
6.Security Deposit. Landlord acknowledges that it currently holds the sum of $77,713.33 as a Security Deposit under the Lease, which amount Landlord shall continue to hold throughout the Extended Term, unless otherwise applied pursuant to the provisions of the Lease. Concurrent with Tenant’s execution and tendering to Landlord of this Second Amendment, Tenant shall tender the sum of $192,280.02, which amount Landlord shall add to the Security Deposit already held by Landlord, so that thereafter, throughout the Expansion Term, provided the same is not otherwise applied, Landlord shall hold a total of $269,993.35 as a Security Deposit on behalf of Tenant.
Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, and all other laws, statutes, ordinances or other governmental rules, regulations or requirements now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated, which (i) establish the time frame by which Landlord must refund a security deposit under a lease, and/or (ii) provide that Landlord may claim from the Security Deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant or to clean the Premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums specified in Article 18 of the Original Lease, and/or those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage caused by Tenant’s breach of the Lease or the acts or omission of Tenant or any Tenant Party. As used in the Lease a “Tenant Party” shall mean Tenant, any employee of Tenant, or any agent, authorized representative, design consultant or construction manager engaged by or under the control of Tenant.
7.Base Year. Commencing on the Expansion Date, the Base Year, solely as it relates to the Expansion Space, shall be calendar year 2016. Commencing on the Effective Date, the Base Year, solely as it relates to the Existing Premises, shall be calendar year 2016. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Lease, prior to June 1, 2017: (a) Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any portion of Tenant’s Share of increases in Operating Expenses with respect to the Expansion Space; and (b) Tenant

shall not be obligated to pay any portion of Tenant’s Share of increases in Operating Expenses with respect to the Existing Premises.
8.Tenant’s Share. Commencing on the Second Floor Expansion Date, Tenant’s Share, solely as it relates to the Second Floor Expansion Space, shall be 8.12%, which is determined by dividing the usable square footage of the Fifth Floor Expansion Space (7,125) by the usable square footage of the Building (87,765) and multiplying the quotient by 100. Commencing on the Fifth Floor Expansion Date, Tenant’s Share, solely as it relates to the Fifth Floor Expansion Space, shall be 13.24%, which is determined by dividing the usable square footage of the Fifth Floor Expansion Space (11,620) by the usable square footage of the Building (87,765) and multiplying the quotient by 100. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Tenant’s Share, solely as it relates to the Existing Premises, is 17.09%. Commencing on June 1, 2017, so long as the Delivery Date has occurred as to the entire Expansion Space, Tenant’s Share as to the entire Premises shall be 38.45%, which is determined by dividing the usable square footage of the entire Premises (33,745) by the usable square footage of the Building (87,765) and multiplying the quotient by 100.
9.Parking. Commencing on the first Expansion Date to occur, Tenant shall have the right and obligation to purchase an additional thirty-four (34) unreserved parking permits and an additional eight (8) reserved parking permits on a “must-take” basis (four (4) of which reserved parking permits shall be for parking spaces located on level P-1 of the parking facilities which are currently designated as Bryan Cave visitor parking spaces), whereupon Tenant will have the right and obligation to purchase a total of seventy-six (76) unreserved parking permits and eighteen (18) reserved parking permits. The rates chargeable to Tenant for Building parking permits shall be at the posted monthly parking rates and charges then in effect, plus any and all applicable taxes, provided that such rates may be changed from time to time, in Landlord’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Lease, during the Extended Term and the Expansion Term, Tenant shall have the right to purchase visitor parking validation booklets in increments of not less than $2,000.00 at a twenty percent (20%) discount.
10.Option to Extend Term. Tenant shall have the right to extend the Extended Term and the Expansion Term with respect to either (i) the entire Premises, (ii) the entire second (2nd) floor, or (iii) the entire fifth (5th) floor, for an additional period of five (5) years through and including December 31, 2030 (the “Second Extended Term”) in accordance with the provisions of Article 23 of the Original Lease, except that each reference to the “Term” shall mean and refer to the Extended Term, and each reference therein to the “Extended Term” shall mean and refer to the Second Extended Term.
11.Right of First Offer.
11.1.First Offer Space. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a one-time right of first offer with respect to one (1) entire floor of the Building if the same becomes vacant and available following the Effective Date (the “First Offer Space”). The term of the Lease with respect to the First Offer Space shall (x) commence only following the expiration or earlier termination of the existing lease (including renewals) of the First Offer Space and after the First Offer Space is actually vacated and becomes available for lease following the Effective Date, and (y) expire on the Termination Date, as the same may be extended pursuant to Section 10 of this Second Amendment. The right of first offer granted to Tenant herein shall be subordinate to the existing rights held by Bryan Cave (the “Superior Right Holder”) with respect to the First Offer Space on the date of this Second Amendment. Tenant’s right of first offer shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 11.
11.2.Procedure for Offer. Landlord shall notify Tenant (the “First Offer Notice”) when Landlord reasonably anticipates that the First Offer Space will become available for lease to third parties. The First Offer Notice shall specify the terms and conditions upon which Landlord is willing to lease the First Offer Space to Tenant, provided that the Superior Right Holder does not wish to lease the First Offer Space.

11.3.Procedure for Acceptance. If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant’s right of first offer with respect to the First Offer Space, then within ten (10) business days of delivery of the First Offer Notice to Tenant, Tenant shall deliver notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intention to exercise its right of first offer with respect to the First Offer Space (the “Acceptance Notice”). If Tenant does not elect to exercise its right to lease the First Offer Space within such ten (10) day period (the “Exercise Period”), then Landlord may lease the First Offer Space to any third party it chooses without liability to Tenant on terms that are not Substantially More Favorable Terms (as defined below); provided, however, if Landlord does not execute a binding lease document (on terms that are not Substantially More Favorable Terms) within one hundred eighty (180) days from expiration of the Exercise Period, then Landlord must deliver a new First Offer Notice to Tenant prior to entering into a lease agreement with respect to any of the space described in the First Offer Notice, and the procedures set forth in this Section 11.3 shall apply to such new First Offer Notice. “Substantially More Favorable Terms” shall mean the average “net effective rent” (defined below) offered to the potential tenant is less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the average net effective rent set forth in the First Offer Notice. The term “net effective rent” shall mean the net rental amount to be paid to Landlord, taking into account any tenant improvement expenses and allowances to be incurred by Landlord and any free rent or other monetary concessions granted by Landlord (amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term proposed under the First Offer Notice or the terms offered to the potential tenant, as applicable). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each time Tenant receives a First Offer Notice from Landlord, Tenant must elect to exercise its right of first offer, if at all, with respect to all of the First Offer Space described in the First Offer Notice, and Tenant may not elect to lease only a portion thereof.
11.4.Amendment to Lease. If Tenant timely exercises Tenant’s right to lease the First Offer Space, Landlord and Tenant shall within thirty (30) days thereafter execute an amendment to the Lease for the First Offer Space upon the terms and conditions as set forth in the First Offer Notice and this Section 11.
11.5.Termination of Right of First Offer. The rights contained in this Section 11 may only be exercised by Tenant (or an Affiliate or assignee approved by Landlord) if Tenant (or an Affiliate or assignee approved by Landlord) then occupies the entire Premises then demised by the Lease. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.3 above, Tenant’s right of first offer shall terminate upon Tenant’s failure to exercise its right of first offer prior to the expiration of the Exercise Period. Tenant shall not have the right to lease the First Offer Space, as provided in this Section 11 if, as of the date (x) on which Tenant delivers the Acceptance Notice to Landlord, or (y) the scheduled date of delivery of the First Offer Space, Tenant is in Material Default (as defined in Section 5 of this Second Amendment) under the Lease.
12.Auto-Dealer Sign. During the Extended Term, Tenant shall have the right to maintain the Auto- Dealer Sign in accordance with the provisions of Section 20.22.1 of the Original Lease.
13.Exterior Building Signage and Ground Floor Lobby Signage. Provided that Tenant occupies no fewer than two (2) full floors of the Building, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole expense, and subsequent to the Effective Date, shall have the non-exclusive right to affix Tenant’s name (but not Tenant’s logo) to (i) the exterior of the Building fronting Broadway (the “Exterior Building Signage”) and (ii) the interior wall of the main lobby on the ground floor of the Building flanking the left-hand side of the Broadway entry doors (the “Ground Floor Lobby Signage”). The Exterior Building Signage and the Ground Floor Lobby Signage shall be subject to the terms of Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof. Landlord hereby approves the Exterior Building Signage depicted on Exhibit D attached hereto and made a part hereof.
The Exterior Building Signage and the Ground Floor Lobby Signage shall be provided by the sign contractor designated by Landlord. The elevations, style, color, size and format and all other design elements and materials of the Exterior Building Signage and the Ground Floor Lobby Signage shall be acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. The Exterior Building Signage and the Ground Floor Lobby Signage shall be consistent with Landlord’s then-current signage program (as may be modified from time to time in Landlord’s sole but reasonable discretion).

In addition, Tenant shall bear all expenses relating to the Exterior Building Signage and the Ground Floor Lobby Signage, including, without limitation:
a)the cost of obtaining permits and approvals;
b)the cost of maintaining, repairing, and replacing the Exterior Building Signage and the Ground Floor Lobby Signage; and
c)if applicable, the cost of any electrical consumption illuminating the Exterior Building Signage and the Ground Floor Lobby Signage.
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) business days after receipt of Landlord’s demand, any expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to the Exterior Building Signage and the Ground Floor Lobby Signage, except for those payable directly by Tenant to any third party. Tenant’s payment obligation under this Section 13 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Extended Term or the Second Extended Term, as the case may be.
Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole expense remove the Exterior Building Signage and the Ground Floor Lobby Signage from the Building and restore the affected portions of the Building to their condition existing prior to Tenant’s installation of the Exterior Building Signage and the Ground Floor Lobby Signage.
The signage right granted hereunder is personal to the original Tenant signing the Second Amendment and shall be null, void and of no further force or effect as of the date (i) that Tenant assigns the Lease to an entity that is not an Affiliate and/or subleases more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the total Rentable Area of the Premises to an entity that is not an Affiliate; (ii) at any time Tenant is in Material Default of its obligations under the Lease (including, without limitation, Exhibit C attached to and made a part of this Second Amendment); or (iii) at any time Tenant does not occupy and operate its business from the entire Premises leased by Tenant as of the Effective Date.
14.Acceptance of Premises. Tenant acknowledges that (i) it has been in possession of the Existing Premises for over three (3) years, and (ii) as of the date of the execution of this Second Amendment, it has no claim against Landlord, and therefore releases Landlord from any claim, loss, liability, cost or expense, in connection with the Existing Premises or the Lease. Notwithstanding anything contained in (ii) above, Landlord’s obligations set forth in the Lease (including this Second Amendment) and in that certain Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release of Claims dated as of December 31, 2014 among Landlord, Tenant, and other parties, shall remain in full force and effect and are not waived or released by Tenant under this Section 14. Tenant has made its own inspection of and inquiries regarding the Expansion Space, which is already improved. Therefore, Tenant accepts the Expansion Space in its “as-is” condition with all systems and equipment serving the Expansion Space in good working order and repair, and subject to all of Landlord’s maintenance and repair obligations under the Lease. Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord has made no currently effective representation or warranty, express or implied regarding the condition, suitability or usability of the Existing Premises, Expansion Space or the Building for the purposes intended by Tenant.
15.Deleted Provisions. The following provisions of the Original Lease are hereby deleted and have no further force or effect: Article 24 (Right of First Offer); and Article 25 (Termination Option).
16.Landlord’s Reservation of Rights. The following is hereby added at end of Section 1.3 of the Original Lease:
“Tenant acknowledges and agrees that: (a) the Premises are part of an office building owned, operated, managed and leased by Landlord and occupied by numerous tenants; (b) Landlord and such tenants are engaged from time to time in a variety of construction projects inside individual premises as well as in Common Areas as part of the normal course of business in the Building; and (c) such construction activities may cause, among other things, noise, vibration, dust, odors, increased foot traffic in the Building and in elevators and corridors, and increased motor vehicle traffic in parking facilities. In recognition of the foregoing, Tenant hereby releases and hold harmless Landlord and all of its parents,

subsidiaries, divisions, employees, affiliates, assigns, officers, directors, shareholders, members, agents, predecessors, successors, trustees, beneficiaries and representatives (collectively, the “Landlord Parties”), from any and all claims (including claims for abatement of Rent, constructive eviction or consequential damages, including without limitation, lost profits), debts, liabilities, demands, obligations, costs, expenses, actions and causes of action of every nature, character and description, whether known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, fixed or contingent arising out of or in connection with the activities and conditions described in the foregoing clauses (b) and (c).

Subject to Landlord’s reimbursement as specified hereinbelow, Tenant shall bear all costs of the Improvements, and shall timely pay said costs directly to the Contractor. From time to time, Tenant shall provide Landlord with such evidence as Landlord may reasonably request that the Contractor has been paid in full for the work completed to-date.
In addition, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord (up to a maximum amount of $2,500.00) for any and all of Landlord’s actual and reasonable out of pocket costs incurred in reviewing Tenant’s Plans and Specifications or for any other “peer review” work associated with Landlord’s review of Tenant’s Plans and Specifications, including, without limitation, Landlord’s actual and reasonable out of pocket costs incurred in engaging any third party engineers, contractors, consultants or design specialists.

Landlord’s disbursement 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. Landlord shall only be obligated to make one disbursement from the Allowance to the extent costs are incurred by Tenant in accordance with this Exhibit B. All Improvements for which the Allowance has been made available shall be deemed Landlord’s property under the terms of the Lease.

execute and deliver to Landlord the Agreement By Contractor of Indemnification/Hold Harmless of Landlord attached to this Exhibit B as Schedule 1.

During completion of the Improvements, neither Tenant nor Contractor shall permit any sub-contractors, workmen, laborers, material or equipment to come into or upon the Building if the use thereof, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, would violate Landlord’s agreement with any union providing work, labor or services in or about the Building or disturb labor harmony with the workforce or trades engaged in performing other work, labor or services in or about the Building or the Common Areas. If any

EXHIBIT B (Continued)
violation, disturbance, interference or conflict occurs, Tenant, upon demand by Landlord, shall immediately cause all contractors or subcontractors or all materials causing the violation, disturbance, interference, difficulty or conflict, to leave or be removed from the Building or the Common Areas immediately. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all claims, suits, demands, damages, judgments, costs, interest and expenses (including attorneys fees and costs incurred in the defense thereof) to which Landlord may be subject or suffer when the same arise out of or in connection with the use of, work in, construction to, or actions in, on, upon or about the Premises by Tenant or Tenant’s agents, contractors, directors, employees, licensees, officers, partners or shareholders, including any actions relating to the installation, placement, removal or financing of the Improvements and any other improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on, upon or about the Premises, except to the extent caused by or resulting from Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct.
c)All Plans and Specifications shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable prior approval. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Exhibit B to the contrary, and without limiting Landlord’s discretion to withhold its approval, it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to deny its consent to any aspect of the Plans and Specifications that (i) adversely affect Building systems, the structure of the Building or the safety of the Building and/or its occupants, (ii) would violate any governmental laws, rules or ordinances; (iii) would require any changes to the base, shell and core of the Building, and/or (iv) are inconsistent with the design, construction or aesthetics of the Building (each, a “Design Problem”). 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 the Plans and Specifications as set forth in this Paragraph 6, shall be for its sole purpose and shall not imply Landlord’s approval of the same, or obligate Landlord to review the same, for quality, design, Code compliance or other like matters. Accordingly, notwithstanding that any Plans and Specifications are reviewed by Landlord or its space planner, architect, engineers and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord’s space planner, architect, engineers, and consultants, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained in the Plans and Specifications.
Tenant or Architect shall supply Landlord with two (2) copies signed by Tenant of its final space plan for the Premises before any architectural working drawings or engineering drawings have been commenced. The Space Plan shall include a layout and designation of all offices, 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 Space Plan. Landlord shall advise Tenant within five (5) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Space Plan for the Premises if the same is unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect. If Tenant is so advised, Tenant shall promptly cause the Space Plan to be revised to correct any deficiencies or other matters Landlord may reasonably require.
Upon approval of the Space Plan by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall promptly cause the Architect to complete the architectural and engineering drawings for the Premises, and Architect shall compile a fully coordinated set of the Plans and Specifications, including the architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing working drawings in a form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work and to obtain all applicable permits and shall submit the same to Landlord for Landlord’s approval. Tenant shall supply Landlord with two (2) copies certified by the Architect of such Plans and Specifications. Landlord shall advise Tenant within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Plans and

EXHIBIT B (Continued)
Specifications for the Premises if the same is unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect. If Tenant is so advised, Tenant shall immediately revise the Plans and Specifications in accordance with such review and any disapproval of Landlord in connection therewith. The Plans and Specifications must be approved by Landlord prior to the commencement of construction of the Premises by Tenant. The final Plans and Specifications approved by Landlord are herein referred to as the “Final Plans and Specifications.” Concurrently with Tenant’s submittal of the Plans and Specifications to Landlord for its approval, Tenant may submit the same to the appropriate municipal authorities for all applicable building permits (provided that such submission shall be at Tenant’s sole risk and shall not alter or modify Landlord’s right to approve the Plans and Specifications in accordance with the terms hereof). Tenant hereby agrees that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s consultants shall be responsible for obtaining any building permit or certificate of occupancy (or their substantial equivalent) for the Premises and that obtaining the same shall be Tenant’s responsibility; provided, however,

EXHIBIT B (Continued)
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 at no cost to Landlord. No changes, modifications or alterations in the Plans and Specifications may be made without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may not be withheld unless a Design Problem exists and shall be granted or denied within three (3) business days following submission by Tenant, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) Landlord shall not be entitled to disapprove any portion, component or aspect of the Plans and Specifications which is consistent with the approved Space Plan and (ii) any disapproval of the Plans and Specifications by Landlord shall be accompanied by a detailed written explanation of the reasons for Landlord’s disapproval.
d)Prior to the commencement of the construction of the Improvements, and after Tenant has accepted all bids for the Improvements, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a detailed breakdown, by trade, of the final costs to be incurred or which have been incurred in connection with the design and construction of the Improvements to be performed by or at the direction of Tenant or the Contractor, which costs form a basis for the amount of the construction contract with Contractor. Such breakdown shall include Contractor’s overhead, profit, and fees, and an administrative fee equal to two percent (2%) of the Allowance (the “Administrative Fee”), which shall be deducted from the Allowance and disbursed to Landlord’s managing agent to defray said agent’s costs for supervision of the construction. Tenant shall not be obligated to pay the Administrative Fee to Landlord if Tenant selects DEB Builders, Inc. to construct the Improvements.
e)Contractor shall submit to Landlord verification of public liability and workmen’s compensation insurance.
f)Landlord and Tenant agree that if the Improvements are actually constructed by Tenant’s Contractor at a cost which is less than the Allowance, there shall be no monetary adjustment between Landlord and Tenant or offset against Rent or other sums owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease and the entire cost savings shall be retained by Landlord and relinquished by Tenant.
g)In the event Landlord fails to respond to a Tenant request for Landlord’s consent or approval hereunder within the prescribed time period (or, if no time period is specified, within five (5) business days after Tenant’s request), then such requested consent or approval shall be deemed to have been given by Landlord.
Section 7. Landlord’s Administration of Construction. Tenant’s Contractor and its subcontractors and suppliers shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable administrative control and supervision. Landlord shall provide the Contractor and its subcontractors reasonable access to the Premises so as to timely complete the Improvements; reasonable use of the freight elevators and loading docks for the movement of Contractor’s and its subcontractors’ materials and laborers.
Tenant represents, warrants and covenants that Tenant shall, and shall cause its contractors, agents, and employees to (a) plan and construct the Improvements and enter and exit the Premises, elevators, parking facilities, and the Building in a manner that will not unreasonably disturb any other tenants, subtenants or other occupants of the Building or any of their employees, officers or invitees, and (b) engage in any demolition, anchoring of walls or supports, drilling, or conduct any other aspect of planning or construction or operate any equipment in the Premises or any Common Areas that may cause excessive noise, dust, vibrations or odors only during such hours as approved in writing in advance by Landlord’s building manager and only in the manner prescribed in writing by such building manager. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all claims, suits, demands, causes of action, damages, judgments, costs, interest and expenses (including attorneys fees and costs incurred in the defense thereof) to which Landlord or any of Landlord’s affiliates,

Tenant’s subcontractors shall submit schedules of all work relating to the Improvements to Contractor and Contractor shall, within five (5) business days of receipt thereof, inform Tenant’s subcontractors of any changes which are necessary thereto, and Tenant’s subcontractors shall adhere to such corrected schedule. Tenant shall abide by all rules made by Landlord’s Building manager with respect to the storage of materials, coordination of work with the contractors of other tenants, and any other matter in connection with this Exhibit B.

Re: (the “Real Property”)
The undersigned (referred to herein as “Contractor”) has been engaged by TrueCar, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”) to perform work (the “Work”) in or on the above referenced Real Property, which is owned by Douglas Emmett 1995, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Owner”), and managed by Owner’s duly authorized agent, Douglas Emmett Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Manager”). Contractor acknowledges and agrees that Contractor has reviewed and shall comply with the “Construction Policies” that are a part of the Construction Agreement attached as Exhibit B to that certain Second Amendment to Office Lease between Owner and Tenant dated as of February 11, 2015, a full copy of which has been delivered to Contractor. Contractor also agrees that Contractor shall, and shall cause its subcontractors, agents and employees to (a) perform the Work and enter and exit the Real Property, elevators, and parking facilities in a manner that will not disturb any other tenants, subtenants or other occupants of the Real Property or any of their employees, officers or invitees; (b) engage in any demolition, anchoring of walls or supports, drilling, or conduct any other aspect of planning or construction or operate any equipment in Tenant’s premises or any other part of the Real Property that may cause excessive noise, dust, vibrations or odors only during such hours as approved in writing in advance by Owner or Manager and only in the manner prescribed in writing by Owner or Manager; (c) comply with the Construction Policies or any written guidelines or instructions delivered to Contractor from Owner or Manager regarding performance of the Work; and (d) perform the Work in compliance with applicable laws. Contractor understands and agrees that, prior to Contractor commencing the Work, Owner requires Contractor to provide the Landlord Parties (as hereinafter defined) with certain protections and that such protections are a material inducement to Owner’s consent to allowing Contractor to perform the Work at the Real Property. Accordingly, Contractor hereby agrees to and/or shall comply with the following:
1.Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless Owner and Manager and their respective affiliates, members, interest holders, managing members, officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, predecessors, successors and assigns (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Landlord Parties” and individually a “Landlord Party”) from and against all liabilities, claims, damages, losses, liens, causes of actions, judgments, costs and expenses, of whatever kind or nature, including without limitation, bodily injury or death (whether or not those injured or deceased are performing work under this Agreement or are affiliated with the parties hereto), property damage, costs of litigation (including,
S-1

|

| Initial |
|
SCHEDULE 1 (cont’d)
without limitation, actual attorneys’ fees and costs) (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of or resulting from (1) the failure of Contractor or any of its subcontractors, employees or agents to comply with the requirements set forth in clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) above; or any other obligation of Contractor under this Agreement, (2) the negligent acts or omissions of Contractor, its owners, agents, servants, employees, or subcontractors, or (3) the Work performed by Contractor. This indemnification obligation shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or types of damages, compensation, or benefits payable by or for Contractor or its subcontractors under workers compensation or disability laws. Contractor’s duty to indemnify shall include and extend to (i) situations in which Contractor has been negligent in the screening, hiring and training of its employees, contractors and subcontractors, said negligence of which causes liability in which any Landlord Party is alleged to be responsible for any Claims arising out of such negligent screening, hiring or training; and (ii) Claims for labor performed, equipment, tools, supplies or materials used or furnished in the performance of Contractor’s services, including any costs and expenses incurred in the defense of such Claims and any damages to any Landlord Party resulting from such Claims. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph 1 to the contrary, in no event shall Contractor be obligated to indemnify, hold harmless or defend Owner, Manager or any other Landlord Parties from any Claims arising from, pertaining to or caused by acts or omissions of the Tenant, Owner or Manager, or their respective affiliates, members, interest holders, managing members, officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, predecessors, successors, assigns, consultants, or other contractors (hereinafter collectively referred to as, “Other Parties” and individually, as “Other Party”).
2.Contractor agrees after written demand to immediately cause the effect of any suit or lien to be removed from the Real Property and in the event Contractor shall fail to do so, Owner is authorized to use whatever means in its discretion it may deem appropriate to cause said lien or suit to be removed or dismissed and the costs thereof, together with attorneys’ fees shall be immediately due and payable by Contractor to Owner. In the event a suit is brought against any Landlord Party or if any Landlord Party is named as a defendant in any suit against Contractor or Tenant, Contractor shall, at the option of Owner in Owner’s sole discretion, defend the Landlord Parties with counsel selected by Contractor and acceptable to Owner, in Owner’s reasonable discretion. Contractor shall pay any and all costs and expenses in connection therewith as well as all additional costs and expenses incurred in such suit, including without limitation, professional fees such as expert fees, and/or appraisers’ and accountants’ fees, and will pay and satisfy any such claim, lien, or judgment as may be established by the decision of the court in such suit. Contractor may litigate any such lien or suit provided Contractor causes the effect thereof to be removed from the Real Property promptly in advance.
3.Contractor shall promptly pay all indebtedness incurred and payable in Contractor’s performance of the Work. Should any lien or charge attach to the Real Property by reason of Contractor’s failure to pay such indebtedness, Contractor shall promptly procure the release of any such lien or charge and shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably approved by Owner) and hold the Landlord Parties harmless from all loss, cost damage or expense incidental thereto. Nothing in the Agreement shall require Contractor to pay claims or indebtedness not actually due or payable, or when there is a dispute, offset, defense, excuse, waiver and release concerning any such claim or indebtedness.
4.If at any time there should be evidence of any lien or claim for which Owner or Manager is or might become liable, or for which the Real Property is, or might become subject to and which is chargeable to Contractor or any of its subcontractors, after allowing Contractor thirty (30) days to remove such lien, Owner or Manager shall have the right to retain out of any amounts due Contractor (as in for example, disbursements of any tenant improvement allowance), which shall be above and beyond any retention amounts, an amount sufficient to clear the lien or claim and completely indemnify the Landlord Parties against such lien or claim along with all associated costs, which shall in no way serve as an election of remedies by Owner or Manager. Contractor may obtain possession of the retained amount, provided that Contractor (a) posts a bond or other security in an amount sufficient to fully indemnify the Landlord Parties against the lien or claim, and (b) obtains Owner or Manager’s approval as to the adequacy and quality of the bond or security, which Owner or Manager shall not unreasonable withhold. The cost of any such bond shall be borne by Contractor. Nothing in the

SCHEDULE 1 (cont’d)
Agreement shall require Contractor to pay claims or indebtedness not actually due or payable, or when there is a dispute, offset, defense, excuse, waiver and release concerning any such claim or indebtedness.
5.Contractor shall not take and is not authorized to take any action in the name of or otherwise on behalf of Owner or Manager which would violate any applicable law. If Contractor knowingly performs any Work or engages in any other activities contrary to applicable law, Contractor shall bear any and all additional costs resulting therefrom, including, but not limited to, the costs of correcting the Work or repairing the Real Property to comply with such law and the cost of fully indemnifying the Landlord Parties from all violations. Notwithstanding anything in paragraph 5 to the contrary, in no event shall Contractor bear, pay or incur any costs or liability resulting from conditions existing at the Real Property as of the start of Contractor’s Work for Tenant, nor shall Contractor be obligated to (i) bear, pay or incur the costs of repairing, or (ii) repair or correct the Real Property to comply with laws with respect to conditions at the Real Property existing as of the start of Contractor’s Work at the Real Property for Tenant or conditions resulting from directives, guidelines, rules, requirements, documents or instructions of Owner, Manager or Other Parties, or (iii) correct conditions not caused by Contractor’s Work.
6.Contractor shall immediately cause all Landlord Parties to be released from any liability or penalty which may be imposed on Contractor, its employees, agents or subcontractors by reason of any alleged violation or violations of applicable law by Contractor in performance of the Work.
7.Contractor waives any right to consequential, special or indirect damages or loss of anticipated profits, except for acts of gross negligence or intentional misconduct by Owner or Manager. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, Contractor shall look solely to Owner’s interest in the Real Property and any proceeds from a sale of the Real Property that actually remain undistributed, for satisfaction of any liabilities or obligations of Owner under this Agreement. No Landlord Party shall be personally liable for any such liabilities or obligations whatsoever.
8.If litigation is instituted between Owner and Contractor, the cause for which arises out of or in relation to this Agreement, the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to receive its costs (not limited to court costs), expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees from the non-prevailing party as the same may be awarded by the court.
9.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall Contractor be obligated to correct any defective work or conditions unless caused by Contractor or Contractor’s subcontractors, sub-subcontractors or vendors, nor shall Contractor be obligated to indemnify, hold harmless or defend Owner, Manager or Landlord Parties with respect to defective work or conditions unless caused by Contractor or Contractor’s subcontractors, sub-subcontractors or vendors.

EXHIBIT C
SIGN CRITERIA
1.Introduction. The intent of this sign criteria is to provide the guidelines necessary to achieve a visually coordinated, balanced and appealing signage environment at the Building.
2.Signage Allotment. Tenant is hereby permitted to install the Exterior Building Signage and the Ground Floor Lobby Signage (as such terms are defined in Section 13 of the Second Amendment), subject to Tenant’s compliance with all of the terms of this Exhibit C and Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole but reasonable discretion.
3.Control over Design and Installation. Landlord and the City of Santa Monica (the “City”, which definition shall include any architectural review board, design review board or similar decision- making body with jurisdiction over the Building) shall retain sole rights of approval over the design and installation location(s) of any sign used in the Building. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, obtain all approvals necessary from the City. Tenant shall diligently and in good faith prosecute such approval process and shall advise Landlord in writing of its progress and shall provide Landlord with copies of all applications, correspondence and other written submissions to the City. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord documentation evidencing the City’s approval, if received, immediately upon Tenant’s receipt of the same. In no event shall Landlord approve installation of awnings over window areas in lieu of signage, nor shall the installation of neon lighting or “canned” signage be permitted. No modification of the requirements of this Exhibit C shall be valid, unless executed in advance by Landlord and the City.
4.Tenant’s Failure to Comply. Landlord shall rigorously enforce Tenant’s compliance with the requirements of this Exhibit C. Tenant’s failure to so comply shall be a material default under the Lease. Further, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease and applicable law, if Tenant fails to comply with any requirement set forth in this Exhibit C or fails to comply with Landlord’s request to remove any non-conforming signage within five (5) business days after Tenant has received written notice from Landlord, then Landlord shall (a) have the right, but not the obligation, to remove and store any non-conforming sign or signs at Tenant’s sole expense in accordance with the Lease and (b) have the right to impose a penalty of $250.00 per day against Tenant for each day that such default continues, which penalty Landlord may deduct from Tenant’s Security Deposit and/or Signage Deposit at Landlord’s election. Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall survive the expiration or early termination of the Term of the Lease.
5.Limitations on Signage.
a.Intentionally Deleted.
b.Tenant shall not be permitted to hang any additional advertisement (i.e., flags, pennants, cloth signs, sidewalk boards, banners, placards or similar devices) outside the Premises, nor display the same on the inside of windows facing towards the exterior of the Premises or in such a manner so that the same are visible from the exterior of the Premises.
c.Tenant and/or Tenant’s signage contractor shall comply with all local, city, and state building, electrical, and signage codes. If submission to and acceptance of Tenant’s proposed signs by any design review board or committee for the neighborhood or city in which the Building is located is required, Tenant agrees to comply with all requirements of said committee or board.
d.Tenant shall ensure that all penetrations of the structure required for installation of Tenant’s sign shall be sealed in a water tight condition and shall be patched to match the adjacent building finish.
e.Tenant shall not be permitted to install any signage in such a manner so that raceways, cross- overs, conduits, conductors, transformers, or the like are exposed and/or visible.

EXHIBIT C (cont’d)
herein; include details of the proposed installation(s); and shall include renderings of the building elevation(s), showing the proposed final installation.
b.Tenant shall pay for all costs associated with manufacture and installation of the proposed sign(s), including, without limitation, all costs of final connection, transformers and labor and materials. In addition, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any and all of Landlord’s out of pocket costs incurred in reviewing Tenant’s signage specifications or for any other “peer review” work associated with Landlord’s review of Tenant’s signage specifications, including, without limitation, Landlord’s out of pocket costs incurred in engaging any third party engineers, contractors, consultants or design specialists. Tenant shall pay such costs to Landlord within five (5) business days after Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a copy of the invoice(s) for such work.
c.Tenant shall have the sign(s) proposed to be installed pursuant to this Exhibit C manufactured and installed by licensed contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Tenant’s contractor shall obtain all necessary permits, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall be fully responsible for the operations of Tenant’s sign contractor, and shall hold Landlord and Landlord’s agents, clients, contractors, directors, employees, invitees, licensees, officers, partners or shareholders harmless from any damages arising out of or in connection with Tenant’s installation of signage during the entire Term.
d.Tenant’s contractor shall maintain workmen’s compensation insurance as required by the State of California; all-risk liability insurance in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, prior to commencing installation of Tenant’s signs, shall provide to Landlord certificates of insurance evidencing such coverages, and naming Landlord as additional insured under the liability policy.
e.Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, shall provide primary electrical service to the proposed location(s) of the signs.
7.Maintenance and Repair. Tenant shall repair and maintain the signage installed on or in the Building in good order and repair. If, after the expiration of ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Tenant from Landlord, Tenant fails to make such reasonable repairs as may be necessary to ensure that Tenant’s signage does not detract from the first-class appearance of the Building, Landlord shall have the option, but not the obligation, to, at Tenant’s sole expense, make such repairs as may be reasonably necessary and/or remove the signage which Tenant has failed to maintain, and store the same on behalf of Tenant.
8.Signage Deposit. Concurrent with Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease to Landlord, Tenant agrees to deposit with Landlord the sum of $2,500.00 (“Signage Deposit”), which Landlord shall hold as security on behalf of Tenant. Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to apply all or a portion of the same to complete such repairs and/or maintenance or removal, or as provided in Section 4 of this Exhibit C, as shall become necessary during the term of or after the expiration of this Lease. Landlord shall have the right to commingle the Signage Deposit with its general assets and shall not be obligated to pay Tenant interest thereon. If, as a result of Landlord’s application of any portion or all of the Signage Deposit, the amount held by Landlord declines to less than $2,500.00, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, deposit with Landlord additional cash sufficient to bring the then-existing balance held as the Signage Deposit to the amount specified hereinabove. Tenant’s failure to deposit said amount shall constitute a material breach of the Lease. At the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Landlord shall deduct from the Signage Deposit being held on behalf of Tenant any unpaid sums, costs, expenses or damages payable by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease; and/or any costs required to cure Tenant’s default or performance of any other covenant or agreement of this Lease, and shall, within thirty (30) days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, return to Tenant, without interest, all or such part of the Signage Deposit as then remains on deposit with Landlord.
9.Removal of Signage at Expiration. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost, remove all signage installed by Tenant, whether pursuant to this Exhibit C or not, and restore the affected portions of the Building to their condition existing prior to the installation of any such signs.

10.Expiration of Signage Right. Tenant acknowledges that if Tenant has not installed said signage within twelve (12) months following Tenant’s receipt of approval for the Exterior Building Signage and the Ground Floor Lobby Signage from the City’s Architectural Review Board (“ARB Approval”), Tenant’s right to install said signage shall expire as of the first calendar day of the thirteenth (13th) full calendar month following the date of such ARB Approval, whereupon Tenant’s right to install said signage shall be null and void.
11.Right Personal to Original Tenant. Tenant’s right to install and maintain said signage shall be subject to Tenant’s being open and operating its business under the name “TrueCar, Inc.” in the entire Premises. Should Tenant fail to so operate its business or should Tenant be in default under the Lease (after the expiration of any applicable cure period), such signage shall upon the request of Landlord be removed immediately at Tenant’s sole cost. The rights granted to Tenant pursuant to this Exhibit C are personal to the original Tenant signing the Second Amendment and shall not inure to the benefit of any assignee.
