Pursuant to the Lease, Tenant leases from Landlord certain premises consisting of approximately 26,660 rentable square feet (the “Existing Premises”) in a building located at 863 Mitten Road and 866 Malcolm Road, Burlingame, California (collectively, the “Building”).  The Existing Premises are more particularly described in the Lease.  Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings defined for such terms in the Lease.

 

B.            Landlord and Tenant desire, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to amend the Lease to, among other things, expand the size of the Existing Premises by adding approximately 1,973 rentable square feet in the Building, as shown on Exhibit A attached to this Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Expansion Premises”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, which are incorporated herein by this reference, the mutual promises and conditions contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

2.                                      Delivery.

If Landlord fails to timely Deliver the Fourth Expansion Premises, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, and the Lease shall not be void or voidable. The “Fourth Expansion Premises Target Commencement Date” shall be February 1, 2017.

 

The “Fourth Expansion Premises Commencement Date” shall be the date that Landlord Delivers the Fourth Expansion Premises to Tenant.  Upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver a written acknowledgment of the Fourth Expansion Premises Commencement Date in substantially the form of the “Acknowledgement of Commencement Date” attached to the Lease as Exhibit D; provided, however, Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver such acknowledgment shall not affect Landlord’s rights hereunder.
