EXHIBIT F

ADDITIONAL TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

1. Additional Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall select a contractor (the “Contractor”) to construct and install the Additional Tenant Improvements (as defined below). The Contractor, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, shall construct and install the tenant improvements (the “Additional Tenant Improvements”) in the Current Leased Premises and the Additional Leased Premises, as applicable, with Building standard materials, substantially in accordance with the space plan labeled SP-2 prepared by ID/Architecture, dated 6-29-10 (“Tenant’s Plans”) attached to this Exhibit F as Exhibit F-1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that any improvement or installation that is not referenced in Exhibit F-1 shall be Tenant’s responsibility, including, without limitation, additional (or relocation of) phone and data cabling, Tenant’s security system, telephone conduits, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, or any specialized improvements. Landlord shall cause the preparation of construction documents (the “Construction Documents”) consistent with Tenant’s Plans, which shall be subject to Tenant’s written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and upon such approval shall be known as the “Final Construction Documents.” In addition to the foregoing, as it relates to the transformer noise in the warehouse, if the noise cannot be reduced, in Tenant’s reasonable determination, Tenant may request, in writing to Landlord, that Landlord (at Landlord’s sole cost) install a door to the existing cased opening in the room to mitigate the noise, which door shall be installed, by Landlord as part of the Additional Tenant Improvements.

2. Permits. Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall secure all permits and the approval of all government authorities with jurisdiction over the Building with respect to the construction of the Additional Tenant Improvements; provided, however, if needed, Tenant shall cooperate fully with Landlord with respect to the foregoing.

3. Landlord’s Review. Landlord’s review and approval of Tenant’s Plans shall not constitute, and Landlord shall not be deemed to have made, any representation or warranty as to the suitability of the Leased Premises or the Additional Tenant Improvements for Tenant’s business requirements.

4. Construction. The Additional Tenant Improvements in the Leased Premises shall be completed in accordance with the Final Construction Documents by the Contractor in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with Applicable Laws.

5. Landlord’s Contribution. Landlord shall pay for the costs of preparing the Construction Documents, obtaining permits, and for the costs of constructing the Additional Tenant Improvements.

6. Changes. If Tenant requests any change in the Final Construction Documents, Tenant shall request such change in a written notice to Landlord; provided, however, Tenant shall, at its sole cost, pay for all costs to the extent such changes actually increase the cost to Landlord to complete the Additional Tenant Improvements. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant may select materials and finish (“Tenant Selected Materials and Finish”) that are above

 

1


Building standard materials (described in Paragraph 1 above) in which event such materials and finish shall be incorporated in Tenant’s Plans and the Construction Documents; provided, however, the difference in cost (if greater) between the Tenant Selected Materials and Finish and the Building standard materials shall be paid solely by Tenant. Landlord further acknowledges that Landlord has approved the materials and finishes already selected by Tenant as more particularly set forth on Exhibit F-1.

7. Requirements for Work Performed by Tenant. All other work performed at the Building or in the Project by Tenant or Tenant’s contractor or subcontractors prior to the Additional Leased Premises Term Commencement Date (including all fit-up work) shall be subject to the following additional requirements:

(a) Such work shall not proceed until Landlord has approved in writing (which approval such not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed): (i) the amount and coverage of public liability and property damage insurance, with Landlord named as an additional insured, on such liability coverage carried by Tenant’s contractor, (ii) complete and detailed plans and specifications for such work, and (iii) a schedule for the work.

(b) All work shall be done in conformity with a valid permit when required, a copy of which shall be furnished to Landlord before such work is commenced. In any case, all such work shall be performed in accordance with all applicable laws. Notwithstanding any failure by Landlord to object to any such work, Landlord shall have no responsibility for Tenant’s failure to comply with applicable laws.

(c) Tenant or Tenant’s contractor shall arrange for necessary utility, hoisting and elevator service, on a nonexclusive basis, with Landlord. Landlord agrees to cooperate reasonably with Tenant in connection therewith and not to charge Tenant or impose any fee for Tenant’s use thereof.

(d) Tenant shall be responsible for cleaning the Additional Leased Premises, the Building and the Project and removing all debris in connection with its work, except for work performed by the Contractor. All completed work shall be subject to inspection and acceptance by Landlord.

(e) Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition to any consent or approval that is required hereunder.

8. Tenant Delay. If the completion of the Additional Tenant Improvements is actually delayed (i) at the request, in writing, of Tenant, (ii) by Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions herein (including failure to pay any sums payable by Tenant, failure to provide or approve certain items within the time periods specified herein, or failure to comply with the early access terms and conditions) or failure to reasonably cooperate with Landlord, (iii) by changes in the Tenant’s Plans ordered by Tenant in writing or by extra work ordered by Tenant, (iv) because Tenant chooses to have additional work performed by Landlord (collectively, “Tenant Delay”), then Tenant shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs and any expenses occasioned by such Tenant Delay including, without limitation, any costs and expenses attributable to increases in

 

2


labor or materials (which payment shall be made by Tenant within thirty (30) days of receipt by Tenant of copies of invoices and supporting documentation in connection therewith); and, if such delay actually delays the Additional Leased Premises Term Commencement Date, then the Additional Leased Premises Term Commencement Date shall be the date that would have been the Additional Leased Premises Term Commencement Date but not for Tenant’s Delay.

9. Substantial Completion. “Substantial Completion” shall mean (and the Additional Leased Premises shall be deemed “Substantially Complete”) when installation of the Additional Tenant Improvements for the Additional Leased Premises by the Contractor has occurred in accordance with the provisions of this Exhibit F, subject to the completion of punchlist items (as described below). Substantial Completion shall be deemed to have occurred notwithstanding a requirement to complete punchlist items or similar corrective work.

10. Punchlist. Upon Substantial Completion of the Additional Leased Premises, Landlord and Tenant shall inspect the Additional Leased Premises together and prepare a punchlist. The punchlist shall list incomplete, minor or insubstantial details or construction and needed finishing touches that do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s intended use of the Additional Leased Premises. Landlord shall complete the punchlist items in an expeditious manner in no event later than thirty (30) days after the Additional Leased Premises Term Commencement Date (however, if the nature of Landlord’s obligation to complete a specific punchlist item is such that more than thirty (30) days after the Additional Leased Premises Term Commencement Date are reasonably required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be in breach of this Paragraph 10 if performance is commenced within such the time period set forth above and thereafter diligently pursued to completion).

11. Tenant’s Occupation of Current Leased Premises During Construction. Tenant is presently in occupation of the Current Leased Premises and therefore the construction of the Additional Tenant Improvements shall take place during Tenant’s occupation. Tenant, at its sole cost, shall be responsible for moving, if applicable, any of its furniture, fixtures, and equipment required with respect to the construction of the Additional Tenant Improvements, and Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in order to make the completion of the construction of the Additional Tenant Improvements as efficient as reasonably possible. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use and occupation of the Current Leased Premises during construction of the Additional Tenant Improvements and all materially disruptive work shall take place after normal business hours; however, Tenant understands that some noise and dust will be unavoidable, and Tenant also understands that some portions of the Current Leased Premises must be cordoned off and cannot be used by Tenant during construction of the Additional Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall not be deemed to have evicted Tenant, nor shall there be any abatement of Rent, nor shall Tenant be relieved from performance of any covenant on its part to be performed under the Lease by reason of the construction of the Additional Tenant Improvements.

12. Early Access. Tenant shall be given access to the Additional Leased Premises approximately thirty (30) days prior to the estimated Additional Leased Premises Term Commencement Date in order for Tenant to install Tenant’s furniture, trade fixtures, and equipment. From the date Tenant is given early access to the Additional Leased Premises as set forth above through the actual Additional Leased Premises Term Commencement Date, Tenant

 

3


shall be subject to all of the covenants in the Lease, except that Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent for the Additional Leased Premises shall commence in accordance with Paragraph 5 of the Second Amendment; provided, however, (i) Tenant shall exercise such right of access in a manner that comports with the requirements of all relevant insurance policies, (ii) Tenant (and Tenant’s contractors, vendors, agents, and employees) shall not disrupt or delay the performance of the Additional Tenant Improvements, and (iii) Tenant (and Tenant’s contractors, vendors, agents, and employees) shall in no event give directions to (or otherwise interfere with) any parties performing the Additional Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall indemnify and hold the Landlord free and harmless from any and all liens, costs, and liabilities or expenses incurred in connection with any early access of Tenant.
