If the Building is not fully occupied during all or a portion of any Expense Year (including the Base Year), Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to the variable components of Operating Expenses for such year or applicable portion thereof, employing sound accounting and management principles, to determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been paid had the Building been fully occupied; and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been the amount of Operating Expenses for such year, or applicable portion thereof.

4.2.7 Tax Expenses shall mean all federal, state, county, or local governmental or municipal taxes, fees, assessments, charges or other impositions of every kind and nature, whether general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, (including, without limitation, real estate taxes, general and special assessments, transit assessments, fees and taxes, child care subsidies, fees and/or assessments, job training subsidies, fees and/or assessments, open space fees and/or assessments, housing subsidies and/or housing fund fees or assessments, public art fees and/or assessments, leasehold taxes or taxes based upon the receipt of rent, including gross receipts or sales taxes applicable to the receipt of rent, personal property taxes imposed upon the fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems and equipment, appurtenances, furniture and other personal property used in connection with the Real Property), which Landlord shall pay during any Expense Year because of or in connection with the ownership, leasing and operation of the Real Property or Landlords interest therein.
4.2.7.1 Tax Expenses shall include, without limitation:
(a) Any tax on Landlords rent, right to rent or other income from the Real Property or as against Landlords business of leasing any of the Real Property;
(b) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in addition to, or in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included within the definition of real property tax, it being acknowledged by Tenant and Landlord that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June 1978 election (Proposition 13) and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants. It is the intention of Tenant and Landlord that all such new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies, and charges and all similar assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges be included within the definition of Tax Expenses for purposes of this Lease;
(c) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the rent payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any gross income tax upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof;

If Tax Expenses for any period during the Lease Term or any extension thereof are increased after
-12-
payment thereof for any reason, including, without limitation, error or reassessment by applicable governmental or municipal authorities, Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand Tenants Share of any such increased Tax Expenses included by Landlord as Tax Expenses pursuant to the terms of this Lease. In no event shall Tax Expenses for any Expense Year be less than the component of Tax Expenses comprising a portion of the Base Year.
4.2.7.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, the amount of Tax Expenses for the Base Year and any Expense Year shall be calculated without taking into account any decreases in real estate taxes obtained in connection with Proposition 8, which was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the November 1978 election (Proposition 8), and, therefore, the Tax Expenses in the Base Year and/or an Expense Year may be greater than those actually incurred by Landlord, but shall, nonetheless, be the Tax Expenses due under this Lease; provided that (i) any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in securing any Proposition 8 reduction shall not be included in Direct Expenses for purposes of this Lease, and (ii) tax refunds under Proposition 8 shall not be deducted from Tax Expenses, but rather shall be the sole property of Landlord. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that this Section 4.2.7.3 is not intended to in any way affect (A) the inclusion in Tax Expenses of the statutory two percent (2.0%) annual increase in Tax Expenses (as such statutory increase may be modified by subsequent legislation), or (B) the inclusion or exclusion of Tax Expenses pursuant to the terms of Proposition 13, which shall be governed pursuant to the terms of Section 4.2.7.1 above.
4.2.7.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.2.7, there shall be excluded from Tax Expenses (i) all excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, capital levy taxes, revenue taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, transfer taxes, federal, state and local net income taxes, and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlords net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Building or Real Property), (ii) any items included as Operating Expenses, (iii) any items paid by Tenant under Section 4.4 of this Lease and (iv) any interest or penalties incurred by Landlord as a result of Landlords late payment of any Taxes.
4.2.8 Tenants Share shall mean the percentage set forth in Section 9.2 of the Summary. Tenants Share was calculated by multiplying the number of rentable square feet of the Premises by 100 and dividing the product by the total rentable square feet in the Building. In the event either the rentable square feet of the Premises and/or the total rentable square feet of the Building is changed, Tenants Share shall be appropriately adjusted, and, as to the Expense Year in which such change occurs, Tenants Share for such year shall be determined on the basis of the number of days during such Expense Year that each such Tenants Share was in effect.
4.3 Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent.
4.3.1 Calculation of Excess. If for any Expense Year ending or commencing within the Lease Term, Tenants Share of Direct Expenses for such Expense Year exceeds Tenants Share of Direct Expenses for the Base Year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.3.2 below, and as Additional Rent, an amount equal to the excess (the Excess). It is expressly acknowledged, however, that Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any Direct Expenses until the expiration of the Base Year.
4.3.2 Statement of Actual Direct Expenses and Payment by Tenant. Landlord shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to give to Tenant on or before the first day of April following the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the Statement) which shall state the Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and which shall indicate the amount, if any, of any Excess.
-13-
Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year ending during the Lease Term, if an Excess is present, Tenant shall pay, by the later of thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement or with its next installment of Base Rent due, the full amount of the Excess for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as Estimated Excess, as that term is defined in Section 4.3.3 of this Lease provided if such Statement shows that the Estimated Excess paid by Tenant for such Expense Year exceeds the actual Direct Expenses payable by Tenant for such Expense Year then Landlord shall credit Tenants next payment of Additional Rent with such overpayment, provided that if the Lease Term has expired Landlord shall refund such overpayment within thirty (30) days. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord from enforcing its rights under this Article 4. Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenants Share of the Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, if an Excess is present, Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement, to Landlord an amount as calculated pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.3.1 of this Lease; provided that if the Estimated Excess paid by Tenant for such Expense Year exceeds the actual Direct Expenses payable by Tenant for such Expense Year then Landlord shall refund the amount of such overpayment within thirty (30) days. The provisions of this Section 4.3.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. Upon Tenants written request, Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with copies of reasonable documentation to enable Tenant to verify the accuracy of the charges hereunder; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be entitled to make such request unless the Direct Expenses or a specific category of Direct Expenses (other than taxes, insurance costs or utilities) have increased by more than twenty percent (20%) over the prior Expense Year.
4.3.3 Statement of Estimated Direct Expenses. In addition, Landlord shall give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the Estimate Statement) which shall set forth Landlords reasonable, good faith estimate (the Estimate) of what the total amount of Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year shall be and the estimated Excess (the Estimated Excess) as calculated by comparing Tenants Share of Direct Expenses, which shall be based upon the Estimate, to Tenants Share of Direct Expenses for the Base Year. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Excess under this Article 4. If pursuant to the Estimate Statement an Estimated Excess is calculated for the then-current Expense Year, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, a fraction of the Estimated Excess for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.3.3). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year to the month of such payment, both months inclusive, and shall have twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished, Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the total Estimated Excess set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.
4.4 Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within thirty (30) days of demand for any and all taxes or assessments required to be paid by Landlord (except to the extent included in Tax Expenses by Landlord), excluding state, local and federal personal or corporate income taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources and estate and inheritance taxes, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto, when:
4.4.1 Said taxes are measured by or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenants equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the Premises, or by the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant, to the extent the cost or value of such leasehold improvements exceeds the cost or value of a building standard build-
-14-
out as determined by Landlord regardless of whether title to such improvements shall be vested in Tenant or Landlord;
4.4.2 Said taxes are assessed upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion of the Real Property; or
4.4.3 Said taxes are assessed upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.
4.5 Late Charges. If any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlords designee within five (5) days of the due date therefor, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount due plus any reasonable attorneys fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenants failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due hereunder. The late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent and the right to require it shall be in addition to all of Landlords other rights and remedies hereunder, at law and/or in equity and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlords remedies in any manner. In addition to the late charge described above, any Rent or other amounts owing hereunder which are not paid within fifteen (15) days of the date they are due shall thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate (the Interest Rate) equal to the lesser of (i) the Prime Rate or Reference Rate announced from time to time by the Bank of America (or such reasonable comparable national banking institution as selected by Landlord in the event Bank of America ceases to exist or publish a Prime Rate or Reference Rate), plus three percent (3%), or (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law.
4.6 Landlords Books and Records. Within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt by Tenant of a Statement for the Expense Year that is calendar year 2010 or a subsequent Expense Year, if Tenant disputes the amount of Direct Expenses set forth in the Statement, a reputable certified public accountant (which accountant is a member of a reputable independent nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm and has had previous experience in reviewing financial operating records of landlords of office buildings; provided that such accountant is not retained by Tenant on a contingency fee basis), designated and paid for by Tenant, may, after reasonable notice to Landlord and at reasonable times, inspect Landlords records with respect to the particular Statement at issue, at Landlords offices, provided that Tenant is not then in default under this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure period provided under this Lease) and Tenant has paid all amounts required to be paid under the applicable Estimate Statement and Statement, as the case may be. In connection with such inspection, Tenant and Tenants agents must agree in advance to follow Landlords reasonable rules and procedures regarding inspections of Landlords records, and shall execute a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement regarding such inspection. Tenants failure to dispute the amount of Direct Expenses set forth in any Statement within one hundred eighty (180) days of Tenants receipt of such Statement shall be deemed to be Tenants approval of such Statement and Tenant, thereafter, waives the right or ability to dispute the amounts set forth in such Statement. If after such inspection, Tenant still disputes such Direct Expenses, a determination as to the proper amount shall be made, at Tenants expense, by an independent certified public accountant (the Accountant) selected by Landlord and subject to Tenants reasonable approval; provided that if such determination by the Accountant proves that Direct Expenses were overstated by more than five percent (5%), then the cost of the Accountant and the cost of such determination shall be paid for by Landlord. In any event, Landlord shall make an appropriate reimbursement to Tenant of the amount that is determined to be owing to Tenant due to any such overstatement, provided that any such reimbursement may, at Landlords option, instead be credited against the Tenants Share of Direct Expenses next coming due under this Lease, unless the Lease Term has expired, in which event Landlord shall refund the appropriate amount to Tenant. In no event shall this Section 4.6 be deemed to allow any
-15-
review of any of Landlords records by any subtenant of Tenant. Tenant agrees that this Section 4.6 shall be the sole method to be used by Tenant to dispute the amount of any Direct Expenses payable or not payable by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and Tenant hereby waives any other rights at law or in equity relating thereto.
ARTICLE 5

ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS

Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises (collectively, the Alterations) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion with respect to any Alterations which may affect the structural components of the Building or the Systems and Equipment. If Landlord consents to any Alterations, Landlord shall, at the time that it consents to such Alteration, notify Tenant in writing if Tenant shall be required to remove the same upon termination or expiration of this Lease.

In addition, for any Alterations in excess of $50,000, Landlord may, in its discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien-free completion of such Alterations and naming Landlord as a co-obligee. Upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall (i) cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the county in which the Building is located in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, (ii) deliver to the Building management office a reproducible copy of the as built drawings of the Alterations, and (iii) deliver to Landlord evidence of payment, contractors affidavits and full and final waivers of all liens for labor, services or materials.

If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused
-21-
by the removal of any such improvements and/or Alterations, Landlord may do so and may charge the cost thereof to Tenant.

Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or condition its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. The parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply, without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent:
14.2.1 The Transferee is engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building as a multi-tenant office building;
14.2.2 The Transferee is not prepared to sign a separate express acknowledgement and indemnity protecting Landlord from and against all damages should such Transferee not vacate the Premises by the Lease Expiration Date.
-27-
14.2.3 The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;
14.2.4 The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof;
14.2.5 The Transfer will result in more than a reasonable and safe number of occupants per floor within the Subject Space;
14.2.6 The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities involved under the particular assignment or sublease on the date consent is requested;
14.2.7 The proposed Transfer would cause Landlord to be in violation of another lease or agreement to which Landlord is a party, or would give an occupant of the Building a right to cancel its lease;
14.2.8 The terms of the proposed Transfer will allow the Transferee to exercise a right of renewal, right of expansion, right of first offer, or other similar right held by Tenant (or will allow the Transferee to occupy space leased by Tenant pursuant to any such right); or
14.2.9 Either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed Transferee, (i) occupies space in the Building at the time of the request for consent, (ii) is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Building at such time, or (iii) has negotiated with Landlord to lease space in the Building during the six (6)-month period immediately preceding the Transfer Notice.
If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may have under Section 14.4 of this Lease), Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlords consent, but not later than the expiration of said six (6)-month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, provided that if there are any changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice (i) such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2, or (ii) which would cause the proposed Transfer to be more favorable to the Transferee than the terms set forth in Tenants original Transfer Notice, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14 (including Landlords right of recapture, if any, under Section 14.4 of this Lease).
14.3 Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, other than in connection with a Permitted Transfer, fifty percent (50%) of any Transfer Premium, as that term is defined in this Section 14.3, received by Tenant from such Transferee. Transfer Premium shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in excess of the Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease on a per rentable square foot basis, after deducting the reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant for (i) any changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises in connection with the Transfer, (ii) any brokerage commissions in connection with the Transfer and (iii) any reasonable attorneys fees incurred to document such Transfer (collectively, the Subleasing Costs). Transfer Premium shall also include, but not be limited to, key money and bonus money paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services
-28-
rendered by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee solely in connection with such Transfer.
14.4 Landlords Option as to Subject Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, in the event either (i) Tenant proposes to assign the entire Lease (other than in connection with a Permitted Transfer) or (ii) following any proposed Transfer (other than in connection with a Permitted Transfer) Tenant will occupy less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the Premises (not including any short term executive suite occupancy agreements), Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Transfer Notice, to recapture the Subject Space. Such recapture notice shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to the Subject Space as of the date stated in the Transfer Notice as the effective date of the proposed Transfer until the last day of the term of the Transfer as set forth in the Transfer Notice. If this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner to recapture the Subject Space under this Section 14.4, then, provided Landlord has consented to the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall be entitled to proceed to transfer the Subject Space to the proposed Transferee, subject to provisions of the last paragraph of Section 14.2 of this Lease.
14.5 Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i) the terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (iv) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlords consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the Lease from liability under this Lease. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency and if such deficiency exceeds five percent (5%) of the amount otherwise due, then Landlords reasonable third party audit costs.
14.6 Additional Transfers. For purposes of this Lease, the term Transfer shall also include (i) if Tenant is a partnership, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the partners, or transfer of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of partnership interests, within a twelve (12)-month period, or the dissolution of the partnership without immediate reconstitution thereof, and (ii) if Tenant is a closely held corporation (i.e., whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter), (A) the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, (B) the sale or other transfer of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares of Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason of gift or death), within a twelve (12)-month period, or (C) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant within a twelve (12) month period.
14.7 Non Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, none of (i) an assignment of this Lease to a transferee of all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of Tenant, (ii) an assignment of this Lease to a transferee which is either (A) the resulting entity of a merger or consolidation of Tenant with another entity or (B) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or (iii) an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to an affiliate of Tenant (an
-29-
entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with, Tenant), (collectively, a Permitted Transfer) shall be deemed a Transfer under Article 14 of this Lease (and thus shall not be subject to Landlords prior consent or recapture rights pursuant to Sections 14.1 and 14.2 or rights to receive any Transfer Premium pursuant to Section 14.3), provided that (1) Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment or sublease at least five (5) days prior to the effective thereof, and thereafter promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such transfer or transferee, (2) such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease, and (3) such transferee or affiliate shall have a tangible net worth (not including goodwill as an asset) computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles sufficient to satisfy the obligations and responsibilities to be undertaken in connection with such assignment or sublease. As used herein, Permitted Transferee shall mean an entity to which Tenants entire interest under this Lease is assigned (or which succeeds to Tenants entire interest under this Lease) in accordance with this Section 14.7.
ARTICLE 15
SURRENDER; OWNERSHIP AND REMOVAL OF TRADE FIXTURES
15.1 Surrender of Premises. No act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance by Landlord of a surrender of the Premises unless such intent is specifically acknowledged in a writing signed by Landlord. The delivery of keys to the Premises to Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall not constitute a surrender of the Premises or effect a termination of this Lease, whether or not the keys are thereafter retained by Landlord, and notwithstanding such delivery Tenant shall be entitled to the return of such keys at any reasonable time upon request until this Lease shall have been properly terminated. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, whether accepted by Landlord or not, or a mutual termination hereof, shall not work a merger, and at the option of Landlord shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of all subleases or subtenancies affecting the Premises.
15.2 Removal of Tenant Property by Tenant. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 15, quit and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order and condition as when Tenant took possession and as thereafter improved by Landlord and/or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear, casualty, condemnation and repairs which are specifically made the responsibility of Landlord hereunder excepted. Upon such expiration or termination, Tenant shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed from the Premises all debris and rubbish, and such items of furniture, equipment, free-standing cabinet work, and other articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, and such similar articles of any other persons claiming under Tenant, as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, require to be removed, and Tenant shall repair at its own expense all damage to the Premises and Building resulting from such removal.
ARTICLE 16
HOLDING OVER
If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term hereof, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Base Rent shall be payable, if without the express prior written consent of Landlord, at a monthly rate equal to two hundred percent (200%), or, if with the express prior written consent of Landlord, at a monthly rate equal to one hundred
-30-
fifty percent (150%), of the greater of (i) the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease or (ii) the fair market rental rate for the Premises as of the commencement of such holdover period. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Landlord hereby expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises within thirty (30) days after the date of termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, any delays in or additional costs of Landlords Redevelopment and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.
ARTICLE 17
RENEWAL OPTION
17.1 Renewal Term. Provided that Tenant is occupying at least 80% of the Premises (which 80% shall consist of no less than all of the 7th Floor Premises, all of the 8lh Floor Premises, all of the 9th Floor Expansion Premises, and all of the 10th Floor Expansion Premises), Tenant shall have the right to renew the Lease Term for either (A) all of the Premises or (B) all of the 7th Floor Premises, all of the 8th Floor Premises, all of the 9th Floor Expansion Premises, and all of the 10th Floor Expansion Premises (each of (A) and (B) are referred to herein as the Renewal Premises) for one (1) renewal term of three (3) years (the Renewal Term) commencing on the day after the Lease Expiration Date (the Renewal Term Commencement Date) and ending on the day immediately preceding the third (3rd) anniversary of the Renewal Term Commencement Date, unless the Renewal Term shall sooner terminate pursuant to any of the terms of this Lease, or otherwise. The Renewal Term shall commence only if (i) Tenant notifies Landlord in writing (the Exercise Notice) of Tenants exercise of such renewal right not earlier than fifteen (15) months, and not later than twelve (12) months, prior to the Lease Expiration Date, (ii) at the time of the exercise of such right and immediately prior to the Renewal Term Commencement Date, no default by Tenant under this Lease, shall have occurred and be continuing thereunder, (iii) Tenant occupies (A) the entire Premises or (B) all of the 7th Floor Premises, all of the 8th Floor Premises, all of the 9th Floor Expansion Premises, and all of the 10th Floor Expansion Premises at the time the Exercise Notice is given, and (iv) Tenant exercises its renewal option, if at all, with respect to (A) all of the Premises or (B) all of the 7th Floor Premises, all of the 8th Floor Premises, all of the 9th Floor Expansion Premises, and all of the 10th Floor Expansion Premises; provided, however, that if Tenant timely delivers to Landlord the Exercise Notice, Landlord shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such Exercise Notice to notify Tenant in writing of Landlords election to terminate, which election shall be in Landlords sole and absolute discretion, Tenants right to renew the Lease Term, in which case Tenants Exercise Notice, and the renewal right set forth in this Section 17.1, each shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, and Tenant shall have no further right to renew the Lease Term, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant. Time is of the essence with respect to the giving of the Exercise Notice. The Renewal Term shall be upon all of the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, except that (a) the Rent shall be determined as provided in Section 17.2 below, and (b) if Tenant exercises the renewal option set forth in this Section 17, then Tenant shall have no further right to renew the Lease Term, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant. Upon the commencement of the Renewal Term, (1) the Renewal Term shall be added to and become part of the Lease Term, (2) any reference to this Lease, to the Lease Term, to the term of this Lease or any similar expression shall be deemed to include the Renewal Term, and (3) the expiration date of the
-31-
Renewal Term shall become the Lease Expiration Date. Any termination, cancellation or surrender of the entire interest of Tenant under this Lease, at any time during the Lease Term, shall automatically terminate the renewal right set forth in this Section 17. The rights contained in this Section 17 shall be personal to the Original Tenant or a Permitted Transferee and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant or a Permitted Transferee (but not any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenants interest in this Lease).
17.2 Renewal Term Rent; Fair Market Value. The annual Rent payable during the Renewal Term shall be equal to the annual Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) of the Renewal Premises as of commencement of the Renewal Term (the Calculation Date). Fair Market Value shall mean the fair market annual rental value of the Renewal Premises applicable as of the Calculation Date for a term equal to the Renewal Term, based on comparable office space in the Building, or on comparable office space in comparable buildings (collectively, Comparable Transactions), including all of Landlords services provided for in this Lease, and with the Renewal Premises considered as vacant, and in as is condition existing on the Renewal Term Commencement Date, and including any additional rent and any base year or expense year applicable thereto, including all escalations in connection therewith. The calculation of Fair Market Value shall also be adjusted to take into account all relevant economic factors; provided, however, that in calculating the Fair Market Value, no consideration shall be given to (i) the fact that Landlord is or is not required to pay a real estate brokerage commission in connection with Tenants exercise of its right to lease the Renewal Premises during the Renewal Term or in connection with the Comparable Transactions or the fact that landlords are or are not paying real estate brokerage commissions in connection with such comparable space, and (ii) solely with respect to the determination of Fair Market Value for the Renewal Premises during the Renewal Term, any period of rental abatement, if any, granted to tenants in Comparable Transactions in connection with the design, permitting and construction of tenant improvements in such comparable spaces. The determination of Fair Market Value shall additionally include a determination (the Financial Security Determination) as to whether, and if so to what extent, Tenant must provide Landlord with financial security, such as a letter of credit or guaranty, for Tenants rent obligations in connection with Tenants lease of the Renewal Premises during the Renewal Term. Such determination shall be made by reviewing the extent of financial security then generally being imposed in Comparable Transactions from tenants of comparable financial condition and credit history to the then existing financial condition and credit history of Tenant (with appropriate adjustments to account for differences in the then-existing financial condition of Tenant and such other tenants). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 17.2, if there are not a sufficient number of Comparable Transactions with a comparable lease term to the Renewal Term to determine the Fair Market Value of the Renewal Premises for a lease of such duration, then the Fair Market Value for purposes of this Section 17.2 shall be equal to that of Comparable Transactions with a term of five (5) years, provided that the concessions shall be appropriately prorated on a fractional basis to account for the shorter term of lease. Landlord shall advise Tenant (the Rent Notice) of Landlords determination of Fair Market Value of the Renewal Premises for the Renewal Term prior to the Renewal Term Commencement Date. If Tenant wishes to dispute Landlords determination of Fair Market Value, then Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of such dispute within ten (10) business days following Tenants receipt of the Rent Notice. If Tenant fails to so notify Landlord within said ten (10) business day period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have disputed Landlords determination of Fair Market Value as set forth in the Rent Notice. If Tenant timely disputes or is deemed to have disputed Landlords determination of Fair Market Value as set forth in the Rent Notice, then the Rent Notice nevertheless shall be irrevocable and binding and Tenant shall be bound by the exercise of its renewal option, but Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree, using their respective good faith efforts, upon the annual Fair Market Value of the Renewal Premises as of the commencement of the Renewal Term within (30) days following Landlords delivery of the Rent Notice (the Renewal Outside Agreement Date). If Landlord and Tenant reach agreement upon the Fair Market Value on or before
-32-
the Renewal Outside Agreement Date, then the annual Rent during the Renewal Term shall be such agreed upon Fair Market Value. If Landlord and Tenant do not reach agreement upon the Fair Market Value on or before the Renewal Outside Agreement Date, then the dispute shall be resolved by arbitration as provided in Section 17.3 below. If the Rent payable during the Renewal Term is not determined prior to the Renewal Term Commencement Date, then Tenant shall pay Rent in an amount equal to the Rent paid by Tenant for the month immediately preceding the Renewal Term Commencement Date for the Renewal Premises (the Interim Rent). Upon final determination of the Rent for the Renewal Term, Tenant shall commence paying such Rent as so determined, and within ten (10) days after such determination Tenant shall pay any deficiency in prior payments of Rent or, if the Rent as so determined shall be less than the Interim Rent, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against the next succeeding installments of Rent in an amount equal to the difference between each installment of Interim Rent and the Rent as so determined which should have been paid for such installment until the total amount of the over payment has been recouped.
17.3 Arbitration. If Landlord and Tenant do not reach agreement upon the Fair Market Value on or before the Renewal Outside Agreement Date, then either Landlord or Tenant, by delivery of written notice to the other, may demand that the dispute be determined by arbitration (such demanding party being referred to herein as the Demanding Party and such other party being referred to herein as the Responding Party), in which event such dispute thereafter shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the then prevailing Expedited Procedures of the American Arbitration Association or its successor for arbitration of commercial disputes, except that the Expedited Procedures shall be modified as follows:
17.3.1 In its demand for arbitration, the Demanding Party shall specify the name and address of the person to act as the arbitrator on such Demanding Partys behalf. The arbitrator shall be a real estate broker with at least ten (10) years full-time commercial brokerage experience who is familiar with the Fair Market Value of first-class office space in San Francisco, California. Within ten (10) business days after the service of the demand for arbitration, the Responding Party shall give notice to the Demanding Party specifying the name and address of the person designated by the Responding Party to act as arbitrator on its behalf, which arbitrator shall be similarly qualified. If the Responding Party fails to notify the Demanding Party of the appointment of its arbitrator within such ten (10) business day period, and such failure continues for three (3) business days after the Demanding Party delivers a second notice to the Responding Party, then the arbitrator appointed by the Demanding Party shall be the arbitrator to determine the Fair Market Value for the Renewal Premises.
17.3.2 If two arbitrators are chosen pursuant to Section 17.3.1 above, the arbitrators so chosen shall meet within ten (10) business days after the second arbitrator is appointed and shall seek to reach agreement on Fair Market Value. If within twenty (20) business days after the second arbitrator is appointed the two arbitrators are unable to reach agreement on Fair Market Value then the two arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator, who shall be a competent and impartial person with qualifications similar to those required of the first two arbitrators pursuant to Section 17.3.1 above. If the arbitrators are unable to agree upon such appointment within five (5) business days after expiration of such twenty (20) business day period, the third arbitrator shall be selected by the parties themselves. If the parties do not agree on the third arbitrator within five (5) business days after expiration of the foregoing five (5) business day period, then either party, on behalf of both, may request appointment of such a qualified person by the then president of the commercial real estate board for the county in which the Building is located. The third arbitrator shall decide the dispute, if it has not been previously resolved, by following the procedures set forth in Section 17.3.3 below. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its respective arbitrator and both shall share the fees and expenses of the third arbitrator.
-33-
Attorneys fees and expenses of counsel and of witnesses for the respective parties shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling such witnesses.
17.3.3 Fair Market Value shall be fixed by the third arbitrator in accordance with the following procedures. Concurrently with the appointment of the third arbitrator, each of the arbitrators selected by the parties shall state, in writing, his or her determination of the Fair Market Value supported by the reasons therefor. The third arbitrator shall have the right to consult experts and competent authorities for factual information or evidence pertaining to a determination of Fair Market Value, but any such determination shall be made in the presence of both parties with full right on their part to cross- examine. The third arbitrator shall conduct such hearings and investigations as he or she deems appropriate and shall, within thirty (30) days after being appointed, select which of the two proposed determinations most closely approximates his or her determination of Fair Market Value. The third arbitrator shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either of the two proposed determinations. The determination he or she chooses as that most closely approximating his or her determination of the Fair Market Value shall constitute the decision of the third arbitrator and shall be final and binding upon the parties. The third arbitrator shall render the decision in writing with counterpart copies to each party. The third arbitrator shall have no power to add to or modify the provisions of this Lease. Promptly following receipt of the third arbitrators decision, the parties shall enter into an amendment to this Lease, evidencing the extension of the Lease Term, for the Renewal Term and confirming the Rent for the Renewal Term, but the failure of the parties to do so shall not affect the effectiveness of the third arbitrators determination.
17.3.4 In the event of a failure, refusal or inability of any arbitrator to act, his or her successor shall be appointed by him or her, but in the case of the third arbitrator, his or her successor shall be appointed in the same manner as that set forth herein with respect to the appointment of the original third arbitrator.
ARTICLE 18
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
Within ten (10) days following a request in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, which, as submitted by Landlord, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit F, attached hereto, (or such other form as may be required by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Building, or any portion thereof), indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain any other information reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlords mortgagee or prospective mortgagee. Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes. Failure of Tenant to timely execute and deliver such estoppel certificate or other instruments shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises and an acknowledgment by Tenant that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception.
ARTICLE 19
SUBORDINATION
This Lease is subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Real Property and to the lien of any mortgages or trust deeds, now or hereafter in force against the Real Property and the Building, if any, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds, unless the holders of such mortgages or trust deeds, or the lessors under such
-34-
ground lease or underlying leases, require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto (collectively, the Superior Holders); provided, however, that in consideration of and a condition precedent to Tenants agreement to subordinate this Lease, shall be the receipt by Tenant of a subordination non-disturbance and attornment agreement in the standard form provided by such Superior Holders, which requires such Superior Holder to accept this Lease, and not to disturb Tenants possession, so long as an event of default has not occurred and is not continuing, executed by Landlord and the appropriate Superior Holder. Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage, or if any ground or underlying lease is terminated, to attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure sale, or to the lessor of such ground or underlying lease, as the case may be, if so requested to do so by such purchaser or lessor, and to recognize such purchaser or lessor as the lessor under this Lease. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Tenant a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement executed by the landlord under any ground lease or underlying lease or the holder of any mortgage or trust deed first encumbering the Building following the date of this Lease. Tenant shall, within five (5) days of request by Landlord, execute such further reasonable instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or underlying leases. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale.
ARTICLE 20
DEFAULTS; REMEDIES
20.1 Events of Default by Tenant. All covenants and agreements to be kept or performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenants sole cost and expense and without any reduction of Rent. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default of this Lease by Tenant:
20.1.1 Any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any other charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof, within five (5) days of receipt of written notice that such Rent is due; provided however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor law; or
20.1.2 Any failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision, covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; and provided that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30)-day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure said default as soon as possible.
20.2 Landlords Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any such default by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever.
20.2.1 Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, in accordance with applicable laws and without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter
-35-
upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:
(a) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus
(b) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(c) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(d) Any other reasonable amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenants failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, specifically including but not limited to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant in each case to the extent allowable to the remaining term of the Lease; and
(e) At Landlords election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.
The term rent as used in this Section 20.2 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others. As used in Sections 20.2.1(1) and (ii) above, the worth at the time of award shall be computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate set forth in Section 4.5 of this Lease. As used in Section 20.2.1 (iii) above, the worth at the time of award shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
20.2.2 Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessees breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.
20.2.3 Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform or otherwise cure any such obligation, provision, covenant or condition on Tenants part to be observed or performed (and may enter the Premises for such purposes). In the event of Tenants failure to perform any of its obligations or covenants under this Lease, and such failure to perform poses a material risk of injury or harm to persons or damage to or loss of property, then Landlord shall have the right to cure or otherwise perform such covenant or obligation at any time after such failure to perform by Tenant, whether or not any such notice or cure period set forth in Section 19.1 above has expired. Any such actions undertaken by Landlord pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 19.2.3 shall not be deemed a waiver of Landlords rights and remedies as a result of Tenants failure to perform and shall not release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.
-36-
20.3 Payment by Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within fifteen (15) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of statements therefor: (i) sums equal to expenditures reasonably made and obligations incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlords performance or cure of any of Tenants obligations pursuant to the provisions of Section 20.2.3 above; and (ii) sums equal to all expenditures made and obligations incurred by Landlord in collecting or attempting to collect the Rent or in enforcing or attempting to enforce any rights of Landlord under this Lease or pursuant to law, including, without limitation, all legal fees and other amounts so expended. Tenants obligations under this Section 20.3 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.
20.4 Sublessees of Tenant. Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, as set forth in this Article 20, Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlords sole discretion, succeed to Tenants interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements. In the event of Landlords election to succeed to Tenants interest in any such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.
20.5 Waiver of Default. No waiver by either party of any violation or breach by the other of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other or later violation or breach of the same or any other of the terms, provisions, and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by Landlord in enforcement of one or more of the remedies herein provided upon a default by Tenant shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default. The acceptance of any Rent hereunder by Landlord following the occurrence of any default, whether or not known to Landlord, shall not be deemed a waiver of any such default, except only a default in the payment of the Rent so accepted.
20.6 Efforts to Relet. For the purposes of this Article 20, Tenants right to possession shall not be deemed to have been terminated by efforts of Landlord to relet the Premises, by its acts of maintenance or preservation with respect to the Premises, or by appointment of a receiver to protect Landlords interests hereunder. The foregoing enumeration is not exhaustive, but merely illustrative of acts which may be performed by Landlord without terminating Tenants right to possession.
20.7 Landlord Default.
20.7.1 General. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall not be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlords failure to perform; provided, however, if the nature of Landlords obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease if it shall commence such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursue the same to completion. Upon any such default by Landlord under this Lease, Tenant may, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease to the contrary, exercise any of its rights provided at law or in equity.
20.7.2 Abatement of Rent. In the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, as a result of (i) any repair, maintenance or alteration performed by Landlord, or which Landlord failed to perform, after the Lease Commencement Date applicable to the Premises and required by this Lease, which substantially interferes with Tenants use of or ingress to or egress from the Building or Premises; (ii) any failure to provide services, utilities or
-37-
ingress to and egress from the Building or Premises as required by this Lease, or (iii) the presence of Hazardous Materials (a) that are in violation of Applicable Laws (as that term is defined in Article 22 below) and (b) not generated, produced, brought upon, used, stored, treated, discharged, released, spilled or disposed of on, in, under or about the Premises by Tenant or any of its affiliates, agents, employees, contractors, sublessees or assignees (any such set of circumstances as set forth in items (i) through (iii), above, to be known as an Abatement Event), then Tenant shall give Landlord Notice of such Abatement Event, and if such Abatement Event continues for five (5) consecutive business days after Landlords receipt of any such notice (the Eligibility Period), then the Base Rent and Tenants Share of Direct Expenses shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, after expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises, or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use (Unusable Area), bears to the total rentable area of the Premises; provided, however, in the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Unusable Area for a period of time in excess of the Eligibility Period and the remaining portion of the Premises is not sufficient to allow Tenant to effectively conduct its business therein, and if Tenant does not conduct its business from such remaining portion, then for such time after expiration of the Eligibility Period during which Tenant is so prevented from effectively conducting its business therein, the Base Rent and Tenants Share of Direct Expenses for the entire Premises shall be abated for such time as Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises. If, however, Tenant reoccupies any portion of the Premises during such period, the Rent allocable to such reoccupied portion, based on the proportion that the rentable area of such reoccupied portion of the Premises bears to the total rentable area of the Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from the date Tenant reoccupies such portion of the Premises. Such right to abate Base Rent and Tenants Share of Direct Expenses and Tenants right to terminate as set forth in this sentence shall be Tenants sole and exclusive remedies at law or in equity for an Abatement Event; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 20.7.2, shall impair Tenants rights under Section 20.7.1 above; and further provided, however, that if Landlord has not cured such Abatement Event within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of notice from Tenant, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease during the first ten (10) business days of each calendar month following the end of such one hundred eighty (180) day period until such time as Landlord has cured the Abatement Event, which right may be exercised only by delivery of sixty (60) days notice to Landlord (the Abatement Event Termination Notice) during such ten (10) business-day period, and shall be effective as of a date set forth in the Abatement Event Termination Notice (the Abatement Event Termination Date), which Abatement Event Termination Date shall not be less than sixty (60) days, and not more than one (1) year, following the delivery of the Abatement Event Termination Notice. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 20.7.2 to the contrary, Tenants Abatement Event Termination Notice shall be null and void (but only in connection with the first notice sent by Tenant with respect to each separate Abatement Event) if Landlord cures such Abatement Event within such sixty (60) day period following receipt of the Abatement Event Termination Notice. Except as provided in this Section 20.7.2, nothing contained herein shall be interpreted to mean that Tenant is excused from paying Rent due hereunder.
20.7.3 Rent Abatement for Nonfunctioning of HVAC. Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 20.7.2, Landlord shall provide Tenant with prior notice of any scheduled maintenance that will cause the nonfunctioning of the HVAC in the Premises; provided, however, that (a) if any scheduled maintenance causes the nonfunctioning of the HVAC in the Premises for more than two (2) full consecutive business days or (b) if any non-scheduled maintenance (of which Landlord shall not be required to provide notice to Tenant) causes the nonfunctioning of the HVAC in the Premises for one (1) or more consecutive business days, then Tenant shall be entitled, upon written notice to Landlord, to an abatement of Base Rent in an amount equal to the product of (a) Twenty and 78/100 Dollars ($20.78), multiplied by (b) the rentable square footage of the Premises then leased by Tenant and affected by such
-38-
nonfunctioning of the HVAC, further multiplied by (c) the number of days from and after the third (3rd) business day, in the case of clause (a) above, and the first (1st) business day in the case of clause (b) above, through and including the date that HVAC is restored in the Premises. Such right to abate Base Rent shall be Tenants sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity for the nonfunctioning of the HVAC in the Premises.
20.7.4 Rent Abatement for Nonfunctioning of Elevator Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 20.7.2, Landlord shall provide Tenant with prior notice of any scheduled maintenance that will cause the nonfunctioning of the elevator service to the Premises; provided, however, that (a) if any scheduled maintenance causes the nonfunctioning of the elevator service to the Premises for more than two (2) full consecutive business days or (b) if any non-scheduled maintenance (of which Landlord shall not be required to provide notice to Tenant) causes the nonfunctioning of the elevator service to the Premises for one (1) or more full consecutive business day(s), then Tenant shall be entitled, upon written notice to Landlord, to an abatement of Base Rent in an amount equal to the product of (a) Twenty and 78/100 Dollars ($20.78), multiplied by (b) the rentable square footage of the Premises then leased by Tenant, further multiplied by (c) the number of days from and after the third (3rd) business day, in the case of clause (a) above, and the first (1st) business day in the case of clause (b) above, through and including the date that elevator service is restored to the Premises. Such right to abate Base Rent shall be Tenants sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity for the nonfunctioning of the elevator service to the Premises.
ARTICLE 21
SECURITY DEPOSIT
Concurrent with Tenants execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord a security deposit (the Security Deposit) in the amount set forth in Section 10 of the Summary. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant during the Lease Term. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provisions of this Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure period), including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent or any other sum in default, or for the payment of any amount that Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenants default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenants default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount, and Tenants failure to do so shall be a default under this Lease. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof, shall be returned to Tenant, or, at Landlords option, to the last assignee of Tenants interest hereunder, within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Lease Term. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, or any successor statute.
ARTICLE 22
COMPLIANCE WITH LAW
Tenant shall not do anything or suffer anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way conflict with any applicable law, statute, ordinance or other governmental rule, regulation or
-39-
requirement now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated (collectively, Applicable Laws). At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with any Applicable Laws related to (i) Tenants use of the Premises, (ii) any Alterations made by Tenant to the Premises, and any Tenant Improvements in the Premises, or (iii) the Building, but as to the Building, only to the extent such obligations are triggered by Alterations made by Tenant to the Premises or Tenants manner of use of the Premises. Should any standard or regulation now or hereafter be imposed on Tenant by a state, federal or local governmental body charged with the establishment, regulation and enforcement of occupational, health or safety standards for employers, employees, landlords or tenants, then Tenant agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to comply promptly with such standards or regulations and to cooperate with Landlord, including, without limitation, by taking such actions as Landlord may reasonably require, in Landlords efforts to comply with such standards or regulations. Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, to make all alterations to the Premises as are required to comply with the governmental rules, regulations, requirements or standards described in this Article 22, except for those alterations that are Landlords responsibility under the terms of this Lease, including without limitation the Tenant Improvements to be performed by Landlord under the Tenant Work Letter. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any judicial action, regardless of whether Landlord is a party thereto, that Tenant has violated any of said governmental measures, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall promptly pay all fines, penalties and damages that may arise out of or be imposed because of its failure to comply with the provisions of this Article 22. Landlord shall comply with all Applicable Laws relating to the Building, provided that compliance with such Applicable Laws is not the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease, and provided further that Landlords failure to comply therewith would prohibit Tenant from obtaining or maintaining a certificate of occupancy for the Premises, or would unreasonably and materially affect the safety of Tenants employees or create a significant health hazard for Tenants employees, or would otherwise materially and adversely affect Tenants use of or access to the Premises. Landlord shall be permitted to include in Operating Expenses any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord under this Article 22 to the extent not prohibited by the terms of Section 4.2.5 above.
ARTICLE 23
ENTRY BY LANDLORD
Landlord reserves the right at all reasonable times and on not less than one (1) business days prior notice to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency) to enter the Premises to (i) inspect them; (ii) show the Premises to (a) prospective purchasers, mortgagees, ground or underlying lessors or insurers or (b) to prospective tenants during the last six (6) months of the Lease Term; (iii) post notices of nonresponsibility; or (iv) alter, improve or repair the Premises or the Building if necessary to comply with current building codes or other applicable laws or for structural alterations, repairs or improvements to the Building, or as Landlord may otherwise reasonably desire or deem necessary; provided, that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter the Premises only during Tenants normal business hours, and further provided, that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform any work under clause (iv) above during times other than Tenants normal business hours. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 22, Landlord may enter the Premises at any time, without notice to Tenant, to perform janitorial or other services required of Landlord pursuant to this Lease. Any such entries shall be without the abatement of Rent and shall include the right to take such reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated purposes; provided that in connection with any such entry Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any unreasonable interference with Tenants use and occupancy of the Premises. Tenant hereby waives any claims for damages or for any
-40-
injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Tenants business, lost profits, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby. For each of the above purposes, Landlord shall at all times have a key with which to unlock all the doors in the Premises, excluding Tenants vaults, safes and special security areas designated in advance by Tenant. In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to use any means that Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises. Any entry into the Premises in the manner hereinbefore described shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises.
ARTICLE 24

The liability of any transferee of Landlord shall be limited to the interest of such transferee in the Real Property and Building (including, without limitation, all rents and profits therefrom) and such transferee shall be without personal liability under this Lease, and Tenant hereby expressly waives and releases such personal liability on behalf of itself and all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant.

Except as provided in Section 24.4 of this Lease, neither this Lease, nor any memorandum, affidavit or other writing with respect thereto, shall be recorded by Tenant or by anyone acting through, under or on behalf of Tenant, and the recording thereof in violation of this provision shall make this Lease null and void at Landlords election.

24.9 Relationship of Parties. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto or by any third party to create the relationship of principal and agent, partnership, joint venturer or any association between Landlord and Tenant, it being expressly understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of Rent nor any act of the parties hereto shall be deemed to create any relationship between Landlord and Tenant other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.
24.10 Application of Payments. Landlord shall have the right to apply payments received from Tenant pursuant to this Lease, regardless of Tenants designation of such payments, to satisfy any obligations of Tenant hereunder, in such order and amounts as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may elect.

It is specifically understood and agreed that Landlord has no obligation and has made no promises to alter, remodel, improve, renovate, repair or decorate the Premises, Building, Real Property, or any part thereof and that no representations or warranties respecting the condition of the Premises, the Building or the Real Property have been made by Landlord to Tenant, except as specifically set forth in this Lease. However, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may from time to time, at Landlords sole option, renovate, improve, alter, or modify (collectively, the Renovations) the Building, Premises, and/or Real Property, common areas, systems and equipment, roof, and structural portions of the same, which Renovations may include, without limitation, (i) modifying the common areas and tenant spaces to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including regulations relating to the physically disabled, seismic conditions, and building safety and security, (ii) renovating or rebuilding all or any portion of the Building or Real Property, and (iii) installing new carpeting, lighting, finishes, lobby or wall coverings in the Building common areas, and in connection with such Renovations, Landlord may, among other things, erect scaffolding or other necessary structures in the Building, demolish all or portions of the Building, limit or eliminate access to portions of the Real Property, including portions of the common areas, or perform work in the Building, which work may create noise, dust or leave debris in the Building. Tenant hereby agrees that such Renovations and Landlords actions in connection with such Renovations shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent.

Re: Presence of Asbestos Containing Materials at 706 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA
Dear Tenant/Employee/Contractor:
In accordance with California law (California Health and Safety Code §25915 et seq., Cal/OSHA asbestos construction work standard, 8 CCR § 1529, Cal/OSHA asbestos general industry standard, 8 CCR § 5208, and California Health and Safety Code § 25249,6), we provide notice to you of the presence of known and presumed asbestos and other potentially hazardous materials at 706 Mission Street, San Francisco, California (Building.)
I. | Asbestos |
A. | Areas of Known and Presumed Asbestos-Containing Materials |
Asbestos was widely used in fireproofing and insulation materials from the 1930s to the late 1970s. As a result, more than 750,000 buildings in this country contain some quantity of asbestos. As described below, surveys of the Building indicate that asbestos-containing material (ACM) was used in its construction. In addition to known ACMs, for buildings like the Building that were constructed before 1980, Cal/OSHA standards presume that the following materials contain asbestos unless analytical tests demonstrate that they do not contain asbestos:
| thermal system insulation (TSI) applied to pipes, fittings, boilers, breeching, tanks, ducts or other structural components to prevent heat loss or gain; |
| surfacing material that is sprayed, troweled-on or otherwise applied to surfaces (such as acoustical plaster on ceilings and fireproofing materials on structural members, or other materials on surfaces for acoustical, fireproofing, and other purposes); and |
| Asphalt and vinyl flooring material. |
The available surveys for the 706 Mission Street building indicate that the following building materials are ACM:
Material | Sample Location | Quantity (+/-) | Result | Category | ||||
Black Mastic | 8th Floor: Workshop, north side (center), under 12 VFT (cream with amber and rust streaks) | 300sf | 3% chrysolite | Category 1 (non-friable) | ||||
Linoleum with paper backing, brown wood pattern | Basement Storage Room | 200sf | 40% chrysolite | Regulated Asbestos Containing Material | ||||
Amber brown carpet mastic | 8th Floor Main space, under carpet | 8,000sf | 2% chrysolite | Category 1 (non-friable) |
All surveys for ACMs, including detailed descriptions of the analytical methods employed, and air monitoring results are available for inspection at building office at 706 Mission Street, San Francisco, California during normal business hours.
706 Mission Street Co, LLC requests that you notify Joe Walsh immediately if you suspect that any ACM or PACM is not in good condition and avoid all contact with such material.
B. | Health Risks Associated with Asbestos |
706 Mission Street Co, LLC has no special knowledge about the health impacts of exposure to asbestos. Anyone seeking such information should contact local or state public health officials.
C. | Asbestos Work Guidelines |
No one is to repair, drill, bore, or otherwise disturb any known or presumed ACM. Any such activity must be undertaken in accordance with all applicable laws by a competent person as defined in the Cal/OSHA regulation and in accordance with all applicable regulations of Cal/OSHA, DTSC, BAAQMD, and the City and County of San Francisco.
II. | Lead |
Lead based paint was commonly used until the late 1970s. Paint in the Building may contain lead.
III. | Proposition 65 |
A number of building materials in this building have been identified as chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Proposition 65, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, requires that you be warned of the presence of these materials.
WARNING: This building contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth detects or other reproductive harm.
Please feel free to contact Joe Walsh at (415)  ###-###-#### if you have any questions about this letter. 706 Mission Street Co LLC is committed to maintaining a safe and pleasant physical working environment for all employees and contractors.
Sincerely, |
/s/ Cody J. Kushner |

R E C I T A L S :
A. Landlord, as landlord, and Tenant, as tenant, are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Office Lease dated as of October 1, 2009 (the Original Lease), as amended by that certain First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Office Lease dated as of September 3, 2010 (the First Amendment and, together with the Original Lease, the Lease), under which Landlord leases to Tenant that certain space consisting of approximately 9,801 rentable square feet commonly known as Suite 300 and located on the third (3rd) floor (the 3rd Floor Premises), approximately 9,801 rentable square feet of space commonly known as Suite 700 and located on the seventh (7th) floor (the 7th Floor Premises), approximately 9,801 rentable square feet commonly known as Suite 800 and located on the eighth (8th) floor (the 8th Floor Premises,), approximately 9,801 rentable square feet commonly known as Suite 900 and located on the ninth (9th) floor (the 9th Floor Premises), and approximately 9,801 rentable square feet commonly known as Suite 1000 and located on the tenth (10th) floor (the 10th Floor Premises, and collectively with the 3rd Floor Premises, the 7th Floor Premises, the 8th Floor Premises, and the 9th Floor Premises, the Existing Premises) of that certain building (the Building) located at 706 Mission Street, San Francisco, California.
B. Landlord and Tenant now desire to amend the Lease in certain respects, including (i) expanding the Premises of the Lease to include that certain space consisting of approximately 9,801 rentable square feet commonly known as Suite 200 consisting of the entire second (2nd) floor of the Building, as more particularly shown as the cross-hatched area on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises), and (ii) modifying various other terms and provisions of the Lease, all as hereinafter provided.
A G R E E M E N T :
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows.
1. Defined Terms. All terms defined in the Lease when used herein shall have their respective meanings as set forth in the Lease unless expressly superseded by the terms of this Amendment.
2. Expansion Premises.
2.1 2nd Floor Expansion Premises Term. Effective as of the earlier to occur of (a) the date upon which Tenant first commences to conduct business in the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises, and (b) February 1, 2011 (such earlier date, the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises Commencement Date), Tenant shall lease from Landlord and Landlord shall lease to Tenant the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises on all of
706 MISSION STREET [YELP! INC.] |
the terms of the Lease, as hereby amended, and the Existing Premises shall be increased to include the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises for a term coterminous with the Lease term of Tenants lease of the Existing Premises. The period commencing on the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises Commencement Date and continuing through and including the Lease Expiration Date is sometimes referred to herein as the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises Term. The Existing Premises and the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises shall hereinafter collectively be referred to as the Premises, and all references in the Lease, as hereby amended, to the Premises, shall be deemed to refer to the Premises as defined herein.
2.2 Early Access to 2nd Floor Expansion Premises. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Amendment, Tenant shall have the right to access the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises solely for the purpose of performing Alterations in accordance with the terms and conditions of Article 8 of the Original Lease, commencing on the date that this Amendment is fully executed and delivered by Landlord and Tenant, provided that (i) Tenant shall have delivered to Landlord satisfactory evidence of the insurance coverage required to be carried by Tenant in accordance with the terms of the Lease, and (ii) all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, as hereby amended, shall apply, other than Tenants obligation to pay Fixed Rent or Tenants Share of Direct Expenses, as though the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises Commencement Date had occurred (although the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises Commencement Date shall not actually occur until the occurrence of the same pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1 above) upon such access of all or any portion of the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises by Tenant.
3. Condition of Expansion Premises.
3.1 As-Is. Landlord shall not be obligated to construct or install any improvements or facilities of any kind in the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises, and Tenant shall accept the 2nd Floor Expulsion Premises and the Building in their presently existing as-is condition.

The 2nd Floor Expansion Premises Allowance shall be payable on account of overhead fees, costs, and expenses related to the design and construction of any Alterations performed by Tenant in the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises in accordance with the terms and conditions of Article 8 of the Lease after the mutual execution and delivery of this Amendment and prior to July 1, 2011 (collectively, the Initial 2nd Floor Alterations). Except as expressly set forth below, Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any portion of the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises Allowance not actually expended by Tenant pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence; provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right, prior to December 31, 2011 and upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, to use any unexpended portion of the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises Allowance as a credit against the monthly Base Rent for the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises otherwise due pursuant to the Lease, as hereby amended.

5. Tenants Share of Direct Expenses. Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord Tenants Share of Direct Expenses for the Existing Premises in accordance with the terms of the Lease. During the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenants Share of Direct Expenses for the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises in accordance with the terms of the Lease; provided that, with respect to the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises only, (a) Tenants Share shall be 9.47%, and (b) the Base Year shall be calendar year 2011.
6. Security Deposit. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Landlord is currently holding a Security Deposit in the amount of One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($150,000.00). Concurrently with Tenants execution of this Amendment, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord an amount equal to Twenty Thousand Four Hundred Eighteen and 75/100 Dollars ($20,418.75) to be held by Landlord in addition to the existing Security Deposit. Accordingly, as of the date hereof, notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, the Security Deposit to be held by Landlord pursuant to the Lease, as hereby amended, shall equal One Hundred Seventy Thousand Four Hundred Eighteen and 75/100 Dollars ($170,418.75).
7. Right of First Refusal. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an ongoing right of first refusal (the Right of First Refusal) with respect to any rentable office space located in the Building that is not a part of the Premises (the First Refusal Space). Subject to Section 7.2 below, such Right of First
-3- | 706 MISSION STREET [YELP! INC.] |
Refusal shall be applicable only following the expiration or earlier termination of any existing lease of space within the First Refusal Space (including any renewals thereof (and irrespective of whether any such renewal rights are executed strictly in accordance with their terms). Further, subject to Section 7.2 below, Tenants Right of First Refusal shall be subordinate to all exiting rights of other tenants of the Building, which rights relate to such First Refusal Space and are set forth in existing leases of space in the Building or leases of any portion of the First Refusal Space entered into after the effective date in accordance with the terms of this Section 7, including any renewal, extension or expansion rights (including, but not limited to, must-take, right of first offer, right of first negotiation, right of first refusal, expansion option and other similar rights) set forth in such leases, regardless of whether such renewal, extension or expansion rights are executed strictly in accordance with their terms or pursuant to a lease amendment or a new lease (all such tenants under such leases are collectively referred to herein as the Superior Right Holders).
7.1 Procedure for Offer. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing (a First Refusal Notice) from time to time if and when Landlord receives a bona-fide third-party offer for the First Refusal Space or any portion thereof. A bona-fide third-party offer shall mean any term sheet, letter of intent or draft lease for the lease of any portion of the First Refusal Space to a third party tenant (the Third Party) that identifies the portion of the First Refusal Space proposed to be leased and contains the material economic terms of the proposed lease of such First Refusal Space that have been agreed upon by Landlord and such Third Party (including, at a minimum, the lease term, the base rent, the base year, and any renewal options, tenant improvement allowance, or free rent) (collectively, such material economic terms are referred to herein as the Economic Terms). The First Refusal Notice shall constitute Landlords offer to lease to Tenant the subject First Refusal Space on the Economic Terms set forth in the bona-fide third-party offer, a copy of which shall be attached to the First Refusal Notice.
7.2 Procedure for Acceptance. If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenants Right of First Refusal upon the Economic Terms set forth in the bona-fide third-party offer attached to the First Refusal Notice, then within five (5) business days of delivery of such First Refusal Notice to Tenant, Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord irrevocable exercising Tenants exercise of its Right of First Refusal with respect to the entire subject First Refusal Space on the Economic Terms contained in the bona-fide third-party offer attached to the First Refusal Notice. If Tenant does not so notify Landlord within such five (5) business day period, then Landlord shall be free to negotiate and enter into a lease for the subject First Refusal Space with the Third Party upon any terms that Landlord desires (subject to this Section 7.2), and Tenants continuing Right of First Refusal for such space shall thereafter arise only following the expiration or earlier termination of any such lease (including renewals thereof which arise from an express written provision in such tenants lease (but irrespective of whether any such renewals are executed strictly in accordance with their terms, provided that the lease term of any such renewal right shall not be modified)). Additionally, Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Third Party with whom Landlord enters into a subsequent lease for the subject First Refusal Space shall, with respect to any and all Qualified Expansions (defined below) (but irrespective of whether any such Qualified Expansions are executed strictly in accordance with their terms, provided that the space subject to such Qualified Expansions shall not be modified) be deemed a Superior Right Holder for purposes of this Section 7. Qualified Expansions shall mean any expansion, first negotiation, first offer, first refusal or similar rights set forth in the Economic Terms presented to Tenant and in such Third Partys subsequent lease of the subject First Refusal Space. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Section 7.2 above, Landlords final form of lease with the Third Party must contain Economic Terms that are not more than five percent (5%) more favorable than those Economic Terms set forth in the bona-fide third party offer attached to the First Refusal Notice. If, however, such subsequent lease with the Third Party contains Economic Terms that are more than five percent (5%) more favorable than those Economic Terms set forth in the bona-fide third party offer attached to the First Refusal Notice, then before entering into such lease with the Third Party, Landlord shall notify Tenant of such more favorable Economic
-4- | 706 MISSION STREET [YELP! INC.] |
Terms (the Subsequent Notice); thereupon, Tenant shall have the right to lease the First Refusal Space upon the terms set forth in such Subsequent Notice by delivering written notice thereof to Landlord within five (5) days after Tenants receipt of Landlords notice.
7.3 Amendment to Lease. If Tenant timely exercises Tenants Right of First Refusal as set forth herein, then, within thirty (30) days thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease, as amended, for such First Rental Space upon the Economic Terms as set forth in the bona-fide third party offer attached to the First Refusal Notice (or the Subsequent Notice, if applicable), but otherwise upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Lease, as amended, including this Section 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an otherwise valid exercise of Tenants Right of First Refusal shall be of full force and effect irrespective of whether a Lease amendment is timely signed by Landlord and Tenant.
7.4 Termination of Right of First Refusal. The rights contained in this Section 7 shall be personal to the originally named tenant in this Amendment (the Original Tenant) and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant or a Permitted Transferee (but not any other assignee, sublessee or transferee of the Original Tenants interest in the Lease, as amended) if the Original Tenant or Permitted Transferee occupies the entire Premises. The Right of First Refusal shall terminate as to all First Refusal Space and thereafter be of no further force or effect on the earlier to occur of (a) the Early Termination Date (as defined in the Original Lease) and (b) the date that is one (1) year prior to the Expiration Date, as the same may be extended. In addition, Tenant shall not have the right to lease the First Refusal Space as provided in this Section 7 if, as of the date of the attempted exercise of the Right of First Refusal by Tenant, or, at Landlords option, as of the scheduled date of delivery of such First Refusal Space to Tenant, Tenant is in default under the Lease, as amended.
8. Termination Rights.
8.1 Tenant Termination Right. Tenants termination right as set forth Section 2.3 of the Original Lease shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that the Termination Fee shall include the unamortized amount as of the Early Termination Date of the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises Allowance, which shall be calculated pursuant to the penultimate grammatical paragraph of Section 2.3 of the Original Lease; further provided, that all references to the Lease or this Lease set forth in such Section 2.3 of the Original Lease shall be deemed to refer to the Lease, as hereby amended, and all references to the Premises set forth in such Section 2.3 of the Original Lease shall be deemed to refer to the Existing Premises and the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises.
8.2 Landlord Termination Right. Landlords termination right as set forth in Section 2.4 of the Original Lease shall remain in full force and effect provided that all references to the Lease or this Lease set forth in such Section 2.4 of the Original Lease shall be deemed to refer to the Lease, as hereby amended, and all references to the Premises set forth in such Section 2.4 of the Original Lease shall be deemed to refer to the Existing Premises and the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises.
9. Renewal Option. Tenants renewal right as set forth in Article 17 of the Original Lease shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary. (a) as a condition to Tenants exercising such renewal right, at the time that the Exercise Notice is given (if at all), Tenant shall be occupying at least eighty percent (80%) of the Premises then leased to Tenant (which eighty percent (80%) (or greater percentage) shall be comprised of all of the 7th Floor Premises, all of the 8th Floor Premises, all of the 9th Floor Premises, and all of the 10th Floor Premises, plus all or a portion of the 2nd Floor Expansion Premises and/or the 3rd Floor Premises); and (b) Tenant shall exercise its renewal option, if at all, with respect to all of the Premises then leased to Tenant.
-5- | 706 MISSION STREET [YELP! INC.] |
10. Brokers. Landlord has retained The CAC Group, Inc. (Landlords Agent) as leasing agent in connection with this Amendment and Landlord will be solely responsible for any fee that may be payable to Landlords Agent. Landlord agrees to pay a commission to CB Richard Ellis, Inc. (Tenants Broker) pursuant to a separate agreement. Each of Landlord and Tenant represents and warrants to the other that neither it nor its agents have dealt with any broker in connection with this Amendment other than Landlords Agent and Tenants Broker. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, judgments, fines, suits, demands, costs, interest and expenses of any kind or nature (including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with any claim, proceeding or Judgment and the defense thereof, and including all costs of repairing any damage to the Premises or the Building or the appurtenances of any of the foregoing, which the indemnified party may incur by reason of any claim of or liability to any broker, finder or like agent (other than Landlords Agent and Tenants Broker) arising out of any dealings claimed to have occurred between the indemnifying party and the claimant in connection with this Amendment and/or the above representation being false.
11. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every provision of this Amendment in which time of performance is a factor. Unless otherwise indicated, all references herein to a number of days shall mean and refer to calendar days.
12. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts, when taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures of the parties transmitted by facsimile or electronic mail PDF format shall be deemed to constitute originals and may be relied upon, for all purposes, as binding the transmitting party hereto. The parties intend to be bound by the signatures transmitted by facsimile or electronic mail PDF format, are aware that the other party will rely on such signature, and hereby waive any defenses to the enforcement of the terms of this Amendment based on the form of signature.
13. No Further Modification. Except as set forth in this Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Lease are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Lease and the terms and conditions of this Amendment, the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall prevail.
