Condition of Premises.  




a.Tenant shall construct improvements to the Premises (the “Tenant Improvements”) in substantial conformity with the plans and outline specifications of the plan to be prepared pursuant to the provisions of the Work Letter (the “Work Letter”) attached hereto as Exhibit B. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a one-time tenant improvement allowance in the amount of $100.00 per rentable square foot of the Expansion Premises (i.e. $1,208,500.00) (the “Expansion Premises Allowance”) and $30.00 per rentable square foot of the Existing Premises (i.e. $571,080) (the “Existing Premises Allowance” and, together with the Expansion Premises Allowance, the “Tenant Improvement Allowance”) for the costs relating to the Tenant Improvements. The Expansion Premises Allowance shall only be used for the costs relating to the Tenant Improvements in the Expansion Premises. The Existing Premises Allowance may be used for the costs relating to the Tenant Improvements in the Existing Premises and/or the Expansion Premises, in Tenant’s sole discretion.  In no event shall Landlord be obligated to contribute toward the cost of the Tenant Improvements which are not agreed upon by Landlord or a total amount which exceeds the Tenant Improvement Allowance. Any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance which has not been expended and requested from Landlord pursuant to the terms of Section 2 of the Work Letter by April 30, 2020 shall be forfeited. Subject to Section 5(b) below, Tenant shall be responsible for any costs incurred to make the Existing Premises compliant under any applicable codes or Applicable Laws, as a result of the Tenant Improvements and Landlord shall be responsible for any costs incurred to make the Building (except for the Existing Premises) compliant under any applicable codes or Applicable Laws, as a result of the Tenant Improvements. 

b.Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall renovate the restrooms and Common Areas on the tenth (10th) and eleventh (11th) floors of the Building (the “Landlord Work”), in substantial conformity with the new Building standard and the renovations performed on the eighteenth (18th) floor of the Building and in compliance with all applicable ADA Requirements. Landlord shall perform the Landlord Work within twenty-four (24) months of the Effective Date; provided, however, if, as the result of the Tenant Improvements or in order to comply with the applicable ADA Requirements, additional work is required to make the restrooms or Common Areas compliant under any applicable codes or Applicable Laws, Landlord shall perform such work promptly following the date upon which such additional work becomes necessary or as required by such ADA Requirement. 

c.Subject to Section 5(a) and 5(b) above, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have no obligation to make or pay for any improvements to the Premises in connection with this Amendment and Tenant accepts the Premises in its “AS IS” condition. To Landlord’s actual knowledge, there are no defects in the Expansion Premises that would render the space unusable for the Permitted Use. As used herein, “Landlord’s actual knowledge” shall only refer to the actual knowledge of James Osburn and shall not be construed, by imputation or otherwise, to refer to the knowledge of any other officer, agent, representative or employee of Landlord. 

d.Landlord hereby agrees that Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing at the time Tenant submits to Landlord for Landlord’s approval its Construction Drawings (as defined in the Work Letter) if Tenant shall be required to remove any portion of the Tenant Improvements upon the expiration or any earlier termination of the Lease.  If Landlord does not so notify Tenant, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Tenant shall not be required to remove any portion of the Tenant Improvements upon the expiration or any earlier termination of the Lease.

14.
	
Right of First Offer. Tenant may periodically request in writing from Landlord (the “Request Notice”), but not during the first six (6) months of the Term or more than once in any calendar year, that Landlord advise Tenant if the space on the ninth (9th) floor, known as Suite 900, or the twelfth (12th) floor, known as Suite 1200, of the Building (the “Offer Space”) is vacant and available or if the Offer Space is coming vacant and available during the following twelve (12) months. Landlord shall, within fifteen (15) business days of receiving the Request Notice, deliver to Tenant notice identifying if the Offer Space is vacant and available or that Landlord has determined it will become vacant and available during the following twelve (12) month period (“Availability Notice”). Within fifteen (15) business days of Tenant’s receipt of the Availability Notice, Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord of (i) its intention to lease the Offer Space, or (ii) its election to not lease the Offer Space. If Tenant does not deliver written notice within such fifteen (15) business day time period, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected not to lease the Offer Space.  If Tenant leases the Offer Space, the Base Rent payable for the Offer Space shall be equal to the Fair Market Rent (as such term is hereinafter defined). Tenant’s rights under this Section 14 shall be subject to Tenant not then being in an Event of Default under of any of its obligations under this Lease beyond all applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant not having previously been in a material or monetary Event of Default under any of its obligations under this Lease more than once, and Tenant or any Transferee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer being in occupancy of the entirety of the Premises. If Tenant elects not to lease the Offer Space, Tenant’s rights with respect to the Offer Space shall lapse and terminate and Tenant shall have no further rights under this Section 14, and Landlord may, at its discretion, lease the Offer Space on such terms and conditions as Landlord shall determine.  If Tenant elects to lease only Suite 900 or Suite 1200, but not both, Tenant’s rights with respect to the other suite shall lapse and terminate, and Landlord may, at its discretion, lease such space on such terms and conditions as Landlord shall determine.

37849147v5 



 


	
 
	
15.
	
Renewal Option. 




a.Provided that there then exists no Event of Default by Tenant under the Lease nor any event that with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time would constitute an Event of Default, and that Tenant or any Transferee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer is the sole occupant of the Premises, Tenant shall have the option to renew this Lease for one (1) additional term of five (5) years (the “Renewal Term”).  The Renewal Term shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Lease except (i) the Base Rent payable during the first year of the Renewal Term shall be equal to the Fair Market Rent (as such term is hereinafter defined), (ii) the Base Rent payable during each subsequent year of the Renewal Term shall be equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the Base Rent payable during the immediately preceding year, (iii) the Base Years shall adjust to the calendar year 2027, (iv) Landlord shall have no obligations with respect to improvements to the Premises with respect to the Renewal Term and (v) Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term.  If Tenant chooses to exercise such option, it shall give written notice to Landlord of its exercise of the option at least nine (9) months, but no more than twelve (12) months, prior to the expiration of the then-current Term. 

b.For purposes of this Lease, “Fair Market Rent” shall mean the base rent, for comparable space, net of all free or reduced rent periods, work letters, cash allowances, fit-out periods and other tenant inducement concessions however denominated, as mutually agreed by Landlord and Tenant after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of intent to renew.  Landlord shall notify Tenant of the applicable Fair Market Rent as determined by Landlord within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice of intent to renew.  In determining the Fair Market Rent, Landlord shall take into account applicable measurement and the loss factors, applicable lengths of lease term, differences in size of the space demised, the location of the Building and comparable buildings, amenities in the Building and comparable buildings, the ages of the Building and comparable buildings, differences in operating expenses and tax escalations, the creditworthiness of Tenant and other factors normally taken into account in determining Fair Market Rent.  The Fair Market Rent shall reflect the level of improvement to be made by Landlord to the Premises and the services provided under this Lease.

c.Landlord shall notify Tenant of the applicable Fair Market Rent as determined by Landlord within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice of intent to renew. Tenant shall have thirty (30) days in which to give written notice to Landlord that Tenant (a) disagrees with Landlord’s proposed Fair Market Rent, or (b) accepts Landlord’s proposed Fair Market Rent.  If Tenant fails to notify Landlord that it either accepts Landlord’s proposed Fair Market Rent or disagrees with Landlord’s proposed Fair Market Rent within the thirty (30) days described in the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted Landlord’s proposed Fair Market Rent for the applicable extended Lease Term. If Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s proposed Fair Market Rent, then Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor in good faith to agree upon the Fair Market Rent within the next thirty (30) days (the “Negotiation Period”).  If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Fair Market Rent within such Negotiation Period, then the Fair Market Rent shall be determined by the arbitration procedure set forth below.

6

37849147v5 



 

d.Within ten (10) days following the expiration of the Negotiation Period, Tenant and Landlord shall each notify the other, in writing, of their respective selections of a commercial real estate broker or salesperson to determine the Fair Market Rent (respectively, “Landlord’s Arbitrator” and “Tenant’s Arbitrator”). If a party does not appoint such a broker or salesperson within such ten (10) day period, the single broker or salesperson appointed shall be the sole broker and shall set the Fair Market Rent.  The cost of such sole broker shall be borne equally by the parties.  If two brokers are appointed by the parties as provided in this paragraph, Landlord’s Arbitrator and Tenant’s Arbitrator shall then jointly select a third broker meeting the qualifications stated above (the “Third Arbitrator”) within fifteen (15) days of their appointment. The three arbitrators shall determine the Fair Market Rent in accordance with the requirements and criteria set forth in the preceding paragraph above, employing the method commonly known as Baseball Arbitration, whereby Landlord’s Arbitrator and Tenant’s Arbitrator each sets forth its determination of the Fair Market Rent as defined above and the Third Arbitrator must select one or the other (it being understood that the Third Arbitrator shall be expressly prohibited from selecting a compromise figure).  Landlord’s Arbitrator and Tenant’s Arbitrator shall deliver their determinations of the Fair Market Rent to the Third Arbitrator within five (5) days of the appointment of the Third Arbitrator and the Third Arbitrator shall render his or her decision within ten (10) days after receipt of both of the other two determinations of the Fair Market Rent.  The Third Arbitrator’s decision shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant.  Each party shall bear the cost of its own arbitrator and shall share equally in the cost of the Third Arbitrator.   


	
 
	
16.
	
Compliance. Tenant agrees to comply with the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (commonly referred to as “Proposition 65”) and associated regulations.





	
 
	
17.
	
Certified Access Specialist. Section 17 of the Second Amendment is hereby amended to include the following:




“A CASp can inspect the subject Premises and determine whether the Premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law.  Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the Premises, Landlord may not prohibit Tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the Premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of Tenant, if requested by Tenant.  The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the Premises; provided, however, that nothing in this section shall alter or modify the terms of the Lease or Landlord’s or Tenant’s obligations thereunder.  Tenant acknowledges receipt of: (i) a Disabilities Access Obligations Notice (attached hereto as Exhibit C) required under the terms of the San Francisco Administrative Code, and agrees to sign and deliver such Notice to Landlord concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Amendment, and (ii) a copy of the Small Business Commission’s Access Information Notice in English (and Landlord shall provide such Access Information, upon request, in Tenant’s requested language).”


	
 
	
18.
	
Waiver of Statutory Provisions. Tenant hereby waives the benefits of: (i) Section 1931 of the California Civil Code (pertaining to the termination of a hiring); (ii) Section 1945 of the California Civil Code (pertaining to a renewal of a lease by acceptance of rent); (iii) Section 1263.260 of the California Code of Civil Procedure (pertaining to the removal of improvements upon condemnation); and (iv) Section 1951.3 of the California Civil Code (pertaining to notice of abandonment).

37849147v5 



 


	
 
	
19.
	
Assignment & Subletting. Section 14.3 of the Original Lease is hereby amended to provide that for the purposes of calculating excess rents payable to Landlord in connection with any Assignment or Subletting for which Landlord grants consent, Tenant shall be entitled, as part of Tenant’s Costs, to deduct legal fees.





	
 
	
20.
	
Building Rules. Exhibit D to the Original Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with Exhibit D attached hereto. 





	
 
	
21.
	
Brokers.  Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other that it has not employed or worked with any broker, agent, or finder in connection with this Amendment, and that no commission is due to any other broker, agent or finder with respect to this Amendment, other than Jones Lang LaSalle, who represents Landlord ("Landlord's Broker") and Cushman & Wakefield, who represents Tenant (“Tenant’s Broker”).  Landlord shall pay Landlord's Broker and Tenant’s Broker pursuant to separate agreement. Landlord and Tenant each agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other and their directors, officers and employees from and against all threatened or asserted third party claims, liabilities, costs and damages (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) which may occur as a result of a breach of this representation and warranty.





	
 
	
22.
	
Ratification; Counterparts.  Except as expressly modified herein, the terms and conditions of the Lease are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument, and facsimile signatures shall be deemed to be original signatures and of the same force and effect.

4.1Selection of Architect/Construction Drawings.  Tenant shall retain an architect/space planner reasonably approved by Landlord (the “Architect”), to prepare the Construction Drawings.  Tenant shall retain the engineering consultants reasonably designated by Landlord (the “Engineers”) to prepare all plans and engineering working drawings relating to the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, life safety, and sprinkler work in the Premises (and Landlord hereby acknowledges that Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to use MSA as the Architect).  The plans and drawings to be prepared by Architect and the Engineers hereunder shall be known collectively as the “Construction Drawings”. All Construction Drawings shall comply with the drawing format and specifications reasonably determined by Landlord, and shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned, and shall be granted or denied within ten (10) business days after the submission of the Construction Drawings to Landlord for approval.  Any disapproval by Landlord shall specify in reasonable detail the reason for such disapproval.  Following any disapproval by Landlord as provided herein, Tenant shall revise the applicable Construction Drawings in response to Landlord’s disapproval, following which Landlord shall again grant or deny its consent within five (5) business days.  The foregoing process shall be repeated until final Construction Drawings are approved.  Tenant and Architect shall verify, in the field, the dimensions and conditions as shown on the relevant portions of the base building plans, and Tenant and Architect shall be solely responsible for the same, and Landlord shall have no responsibility in connection therewith.  Landlord’s review of the Construction Drawings as set forth in this Section 3, shall be for its sole purpose and shall not imply Landlord’s review of the same, or obligate Landlord to review the same, for quality, design, Code compliance or other like matters.  Accordingly, notwithstanding that any Construction Drawings are reviewed by Landlord or its space planner, architect, engineers and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord’s space planner, architect, engineers, and consultants, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained in the Construction Drawings.

4.2Final Space Plan.  Tenant shall supply Landlord with four (4) copies signed by Tenant of its final space plan for the Premises before any architectural working drawings or engineering drawings have been commenced.  The final space plan (the “Final Space Plan”) shall include a layout and designation of all offices, rooms and other partitioning and their intended use.  Landlord may request clarification or more specific drawings for special use items not included in the Final Space Plan.  Landlord shall advise Tenant within five (5) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Final Space Plan for the Premises if the same is unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect.  If Tenant is so advised, Tenant shall promptly (i) cause the Final Space Plan to be revised to correct any deficiencies or other matters Landlord may reasonably require, and (ii) deliver such revised Final Space Plan to Landlord.  The foregoing process shall be repeated until the Final Space Plan is approved.

4.3Final Working Drawings.  After the Final Space Plan has been approved by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall promptly cause the Architect and the Engineers to complete the architectural and engineering drawings for the Premises, and cause the Architect to compile a fully coordinated set of architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing working drawings in a 

14

37849147v5 



 

form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work and to obtain all applicable permits for the Tenant Improvements (collectively, the “Final Working Drawings”), and shall submit the same to Landlord for Landlord’s approval.  Tenant shall supply Landlord with four (4) copies signed by Tenant of such Final Working Drawings. Landlord shall have the right to have its building architect and engineers review the Final Working Drawings. Landlord shall advise Tenant within five (5) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Final Working Drawings for the Premises if, in Landlord’s reasonable determination, the same is unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect.  Landlord shall not disapprove the Final Working Drawings if the same are consistent with the Construction Drawings. If Tenant is so advised, Tenant shall promptly (i) revise the Final Working Drawings in accordance with such review and any reasonable disapproval of Landlord in connection therewith, and (ii) deliver such revised Final Working Drawings to Landlord.  The foregoing process shall be repeated until the Final Working Drawings are approved.

4.4Approved Working Drawings.  The Final Working Drawings shall be approved by Landlord (the “Approved Working Drawings”) prior to the commencement of construction of the Premises by Tenant.  After approval by Landlord of the Final Working Drawings, Tenant shall promptly submit the same to the appropriate governmental authorities for all applicable building permits.  Tenant hereby agrees that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s consultants shall be responsible for obtaining any building permit for the Tenant Improvements or certificate of occupancy for the Premises and that obtaining the same shall be Tenant’s responsibility; provided, however, that Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in executing permit applications and performing other ministerial acts reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to obtain any such permit or certificate of occupancy.  No changes, modifications or alterations in the Approved Working Drawings, other than minor changes that are necessary to account for existing conditions in the Building or are otherwise non-material, may be made without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned and shall be granted or reasonably denied within five (5) business days following request.

4.5Non Standard Tenant Improvements.  “Non Standard Tenant Improvements” shall mean (a) any part of the Tenant Improvements which do not constitute Building standard tenant improvements, including, but not limited to, plumbing and millwork; and (b) a configuration of the Tenant Improvements which is not usual and customary for normal occupancy.  Provided Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of such requirement at the time Landlord approves the Working Drawings, Tenant shall be required to remove such Non Standard Tenant Improvements designated by Landlord for  removal at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease and repair any damage caused thereby. At the time the Tenant submits plans for Landlord approval, Landlord will notify Tenant which, if any, Tenant Improvements in the Expansion Premises will be required to be removed by Tenant at the expiration or any earlier termination of the Lease. In no event shall Tenant be required to remove any Tenant Improvements which are not Non Standard Improvements.
