8.CASp Inspection.  Section 10, Disclosures and Utility Usage Information, in the Third Amendment to Lease, is hereby deleted in its entirety, and replaced with the following:

 

“CASp Inspection.  The Project: [__] has not undergone an inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp). [__] has undergone an inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp) and it was determined that the Real Property met all applicable construction-related accessibility standards pursuant to California Civil Code §55.51 et seq. [ x ] has undergone an inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp) and it was determined that the Real Property did not meet all applicable construction-related accessibility standards pursuant to California Civil Code §55.51 et seq.”

9.Taxes.  Section 10, Taxes on Tenant’s Property, in the Lease, is hereby deleted in its entirety, and replaced with the following:

 

“10.  Taxes.

 

10.1Payment of Taxes.  Landlord specifically calls to Tenant's attention the fact that this Lease may create a possessory interest subject to property taxation, and Tenant may be subject to property tax levied on such interest.  Tenant alone shall pay such tax.  Tenant shall submit its invoices for possessory interest taxes and proof of payments, and shall be provided a credit as an offset toward its Monthly Basic Rent in the amount of the possessory interest tax paid.  Taxes due and payable under this paragraph shall become part of the Operating Expenses. If the right is given to pay any of the taxes, assessments or other impositions which Tenant is herein obligated to pay either in one sum or in installments, Tenant may elect either mode of payment.

 

10.2Personal Property Taxes.  Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property of Tenant contained in the Premises or elsewhere.  Tenant shall cause said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Landlord.”

10.No Right to Receive Relocation Benefits.  Landlord is a public entity.  Landlord may, at the expiration of the Lease Term or extension thereof, decide to utilize the Premises for its own purposes inconsistent with continued occupancy by Tenant.  In the event that Landlord decides to use the Premises for its own purposes upon the expiration of the Lease Term or extensions thereof, Landlord may decide not to negotiate with Tenant for Tenant's continued occupancy of the Premises.  Tenant's occupancy during the Lease Term or extensions thereof is an interim use of the Property, pending potential use of the Premises by Landlord for public uses consistent with the educational mission of Landlord.  Nothing in this Lease creates any implied or express expectation that Landlord will re-let the Premises to Tenant at the expiration of the Lease Term, or that Landlord will offer any extensions of the Lease Term to Tenant, except as expressly provided in this Lease.  Tenant acknowledges the foregoing, and understands that in the event that Landlord declines to negotiate for renewal or extension of this Lease upon expiration of the Lease Term or extension thereof, Tenant shall not be eligible to receive relocation assistance or relocation benefits pursuant to any Federal law, state law, or University

of California policy, including without limitation Government Code section 7260 et seq. Tenant hereby waives any right to receive relocation assistance or relocation benefits from Landlord pursuant to any Federal law, state law, or University of California policy, including without limitation Government Code section 7260 et seq., so long as Landlord permits Tenant to remain in possession of the Premises during the Lease Term or extensions thereof, subject to Tenant's compliance with all terms and conditions of this Lease.

11.Energy Use Disclosure.  To the extent applicable, Landlord shall comply with the requirements to disclose certain information concerning the energy performance of the Building pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 25402.10 and the regulations adopted pursuant thereto.   

12.California Civil Code Waiver.  Tenant waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) with respect to the destruction of the Premises, California Civil Code Sections 1941 and 1942 with respect to Landlord’s repair duties and Tenant’s right to repair, and California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130, allowing either party to petition the Superior Court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Premises by condemnation as herein defined, and any right of redemption or reinstatement of Tenant under any present or future case law or statutory provision (including California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 473 and 1179 and California Civil Code Section 3275) in the event Tenant is dispossessed from the Premises for any reason.  This waiver applies to future statutes enacted in addition or in substitution of the statutes specified herein.

13.Signing Authority.  Each individual executing this Fourth Amendment on behalf of Tenant hereby represents and warrants that Tenant is a duly formed and existing entity qualified to do business in the State of California and that Tenant has full right and authority to execute and deliver this Fourth Amendment and that each person signing on behalf of Tenant is authorized to do so.

14.Counterparts.  This Fourth Amendment to Lease may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which shall be one and the same agreement.
