Exhibit 10.34

QUANTENNA COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED CHANGE OF CONTROL AND SEVERANCE AGREEMENT
This Amended and Restated Change of Control and Severance Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made between Quantenna Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) and Sean Sobers (the “Executive”), effective as of December 22, 2016 (the “Effective Date”) and amends and restates in its entirety the Change of Control and Severance Agreement entered into between the Company and the Executive effective as of October 1, 2016 (the “Original Agreement”).
The Agreement provides certain protections to the Executive in connection with the involuntary termination of the Executive’s employment under the circumstances described in the Agreement.  
The Company and the Executive agree as follows:
1.Term of Agreement.  This Agreement will have an initial term of 5 years commencing on the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”).  On the 5th anniversary of the Effective Date and each one year anniversary thereafter, this Agreement will renew automatically for additional, one (1) year terms (each, an “Additional Term”) unless either party provides the other party with written notice of nonrenewal at least six (6) months prior to the date of automatic renewal.  For the avoidance of doubt, neither the lapse of this Agreement by its terms nor non-renewal of this Agreement will by itself constitute termination of employment nor grounds for resignation for Good Reason.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change of Control occurs (a) when there are fewer than 12 months remaining during the Initial Term or (b) during an Additional Term, the term of this Agreement will extend automatically through the date that is 12 months following the date of the Change of Control.  Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, if during the term of this Agreement, an initial occurrence of an act or omission by the company constituting the grounds for “Good Reason” in accordance with Section 7(j) has occurred (the “Initial Grounds”), and the expiration date of the Cure Period (as such term is used in Section 7(j)) with respect to such Initial Grounds could occur following the expiration of the Initial Term or the Additional Term then in effect, as applicable, the term of this Agreement will extend automatically through the date that is 30 days following the expiration of the Cure Period, but such extension of the term will only apply with respect to the Initial Grounds.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Executive becomes entitled to the benefits under Section 3 of this Agreement, then the Agreement will not terminate until all of the obligations of the parties hereto with respect to this Agreement have been satisfied. 
2.    At-Will Employment.  The Company and the Executive acknowledge that the Executive’s employment is and will continue to be at-will, as defined under applicable law.
3.    Severance Benefits.
(a)    Qualified Termination.  On a Qualified Termination, the Executive will be eligible to receive the following payment and benefits from the Company, subject to Section 5 of this Agreement:
(i)    Salary Severance.  A lump-sum payment equal to 100% of the Executive’s Base Salary.  
(ii)    Bonus Severance.  A lump-sum payment equal to 100% of the Executive’s target annual bonus as in effect for the fiscal year in which the Qualified Termination occurs. 

(iii)    COBRA.  If the Executive elects continuation coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA for the Executive and the Executive’s eligible dependents, the Company will reimburse the Executive for the premiums necessary to continue group health insurance benefits under COBRA for the Executive and the Executive’s eligible dependents until the earliest of (A) the 12‐month anniversary of the date of the Executive’s Qualified Termination, (B) the date upon which the Executive, and the Executive’s eligible dependents becomes covered under similar plans, or (C) the date upon which the Executive and the Executive’s eligible dependents, as applicable, ceases to be eligible for coverage under COBRA (such reimbursements, the “COBRA Reimbursements”).  However, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot pay the COBRA Reimbursements without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company will in lieu thereof provide to the Executive a taxable lump-sum payment in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that the Executive would be required to pay to continue the Executive’s group health coverage in effect on the date of the Executive’s Qualified Termination (which amount will be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage), multiplied by twelve (12), which payments will be made regardless of whether the Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage and will commence on the month following the Executive’s Qualified Termination.  For the avoidance of doubt, the taxable payment in lieu of COBRA Reimbursements may be used for any purpose, including, but not limited to continuation coverage under COBRA, and will be subject to all applicable tax withholdings.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this Agreement, if at any time the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the payment contemplated by the preceding sentence without violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Executive will not receive such payment or any further reimbursements for COBRA Reimbursements.
(iv)    Equity Vesting.  100% of the then-unvested shares subject to each of the Executive’s then-outstanding equity awards will immediately vest and, in the case of options and stock appreciation rights, will become exercisable (for avoidance of doubt, no more than 100% of the shares subject to the then-outstanding portion of an equity award may vest and become exercisable under this provision).  In the case of equity awards with performance-based vesting, all performance goals and other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at the greater of actual performance or 100% of target levels.
(b)    Termination Outside of the Change of Control Period; Termination Other than a Qualified Termination.  Except as required by applicable law, if Executive’s employment with the Company Group terminates (i) for any reason outside of the Change of Control Period, or (ii) during the Change of Control Period in a manner that is not a Qualified Termination, then the Executive will be entitled to receive severance and any other benefits only as may then be established under the then-existing written severance and benefits plans and practices of the Company or pursuant to other written agreements with the Company, including, without limitation, any applicable offer letter or other employment agreement between the Executive and the Company entered into prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”), and subject to the provisions of Section (c) below.  As described in (c) below, for a termination that occurs during the Change of Control Period but in the 3-month period before the Change of Control, unless otherwise expressly set forth in writing in the applicable Employment Agreement or other agreement between the Executive and the Company to be supplemental to the rights or remedies set forth herein without offset, the severance pursuant to the Employment Agreement or other agreement will apply (including the definitions of Cause/Good Reason set forth therein; provided, however, that Section 5(b) of this Agreement will apply in all cases), but any amounts paid will offset any amounts later determined to be due under this Agreement.  
(c)    Exclusive Remedy; Non-Duplication of Payment or Benefits.  In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment with the Company Group during the Post-COC Period, the provisions 

-2-

of this Section 3 are intended to be and are exclusive and in lieu of any other severance rights or remedies to which Executive may otherwise be entitled, whether at law, tort or contract, in equity, or under this Agreement, including under Executive’s Employment Agreement, other than such rights or remedies under contracts between the Company Group and Executive entered into after the Effective Date, except to the extent expressly set forth in writing between the Company and Executive to be supplemental to the rights or remedies set forth herein.  Except as may be provided under contracts between the Company Group and Executive entered into after the Effective Date or otherwise expressly agreed in writing between the Company and Executive to be supplemental to the rights or remedies set forth herein, Executive will not be entitled to any severance or other benefits upon termination of employment during the Post-COC Period other than those payments or benefits expressly set forth in Section 3(a).  If (i) the Executive’s employment with the Employer terminates in a manner that would have resulted in a Qualified Termination but for the fact that such termination occurs prior to a Change of Control or that would be classified as a Qualified Termination if a Change of Control occurs within the 3-month period following such termination (each such termination event, an “Other Termination”); (ii) as a result of such Other Termination, the Executive is receiving or has received severance payments or benefits under the Executive’s Employment Agreement or other agreement between the Executive and the Company; and (iii) a Change of Control occurs within the 3-month period following such Other Termination that qualifies the Executive for the superior severance payments and benefits payable on a Qualified Termination under this Agreement, then (x) the Executive will cease receiving any further payments or benefits under the Employment Agreement or other agreement between the Executive and the Company in connection with the Executive’s Other Termination and (y) the payments and benefits under Section 3(a) of this Agreement, otherwise payable upon a Qualified Termination under this Agreement each will be offset by the corresponding payments or benefits, as applicable, the Executive already received under the Employment Agreement or other agreement between the Executive and the Company in connection with the Executive’s Other Termination, except to the extent expressly set forth in writing between the Company and Executive that the payments or benefits under the Employment Agreement or other applicable agreement shall not cease and shall be supplemental to the rights or remedies set forth herein without offset. 
(d)    Death of the Executive.  If the Executive dies before all payments or benefits the Executive is entitled to receive under the Agreement have been paid, such unpaid amounts will be paid to the Executive’s designated beneficiary, if living, or otherwise to the Executive’s personal representative in a lump-sum payment as soon as possible following the Executive’s death.
(e)    Transfer between the Company Group.  For purposes of the Agreement, if the Executive is involuntarily transferred from one member of the Company Group to another, such transfer will not be a termination without Cause but may give the Executive the ability to resign for Good Reason.
4.    Accrued Compensation.  On any termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company Group, the Executive will be entitled to receive all accrued but unpaid vacation, expense reimbursements, wages, and other benefits due to the Executive under any Company Group-provided plans, policies, and arrangements.
5.    Conditions to Receipt of Severance.
(a)    Separation Agreement and Release of Claims.  The Executive’s receipt of any severance payments or benefits upon the Executive’s Qualified Termination under Section 3 is subject to the Executive signing and not revoking the Company’s then-standard separation agreement and release of claims (which may include an agreement not to disparage any member of the Company Group, non-solicit provisions, and other standard terms and conditions, in each case consistent with applicable law) (the “Release” and such requirement, the “Release Requirement”), which must become effective and irrevocable no later than the 60th day following 

-3-

the Executive’s Qualified Termination (the “Release Deadline”).  If the Release does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release Deadline, the Executive will forfeit any right to severance payments or benefits under Section 3.  In no event will severance payments or benefits under Section 3 be paid or provided until the Release actually becomes effective and irrevocable.  Except as provided by the following sentence, upon the Release becoming effective, any severance payments or benefits under this Agreement otherwise payable to the Executive during the period from the date of the Executive’s Qualified Termination through the effective date of the Release will be payable in a lump sum without interest as soon as administratively practicable after the Release becomes effective and irrevocable but not later than 61 days following the Executive’s Qualified Termination or, if later (i) if the Executive’s termination date occurs during the Pre-COC Period, on the date of the closing of the Change of Control or (ii) the Delayed Payment Date if and as required by Section 5(b), and all additional severance payments and benefits (if any) will be payable in accordance with the payment schedules applicable to each payment or benefit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Release Deadline is in the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Qualified Termination occurs, then any severance payments or benefits under this Agreement that would constitute Deferred Payments (as defined below) will be paid on, or in the case of installments, will not commence until the 61st day after the Executive’s Qualified Termination, or if later, (i) if the Executive’s termination date occurs during the Pre-COC Period, on the date of the closing of the Change of Control or (ii) the Delayed Payment Date if and as required by Section 5(b). Any severance payments or benefits otherwise payable to the Executive during the period from the date of the Executive’s Qualified Termination through the first date severance payments become payable under this paragraph (such date, the “Severance Start Date”) will be paid in a lump sum to the Executive on the Severance Start Date, with any remaining payments to be made as provided in this Agreement.
(b)    Section 409A.  The Company intends that all payments and benefits provided under the Agreement or otherwise are exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the payments or benefits will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities or ambiguous terms herein will be interpreted in accordance with this intent.  No Deferred Payments will be paid or otherwise provided until the Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.  Similarly, no severance payable to Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement that otherwise would be exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) will be paid or otherwise provided until Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.  If, at the time of the Executive’s termination of employment, the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, then the payment of the Deferred Payments will be delayed to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, which means that the Executive will receive payment on the date that is 6 months and 1 day following the Executive’s separation from service, or, if earlier, the Executive’s death (such date, the “Delayed Payment Date”).  All subsequent Deferred Payments, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.  The Company reserves the right to amend the Agreement as it considers necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Executive or any other individual, to comply with any provision required to avoid the imposition of the additional tax imposed under Section 409A or to otherwise avoid income recognition under Section 409A prior to the actual payment of any benefits or imposition of any additional tax.  Each payment, installment, and benefit payable under the Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).  In no event will any member of the Company Group be obligated to reimburse the Executive for any taxes that may be imposed on the Executive as a result of Section 409A.
6.    Limitation on Payments.  
(a)    Reduction of Severance Benefits.  If any payment or benefit that the Executive would receive from any Company Group member or any other party whether in connection with the provisions herein 

-4-

or otherwise (the “Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment will be equal to the Best Results Amount. The “Best Results Amount” will be either (x) the full amount of such Payment or (y) such lesser amount as would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount.  If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting parachute payments is necessary so that the Payment equals the Best Results Amount, reduction will occur in the following order: (i) reduction of cash payments, which shall occur in reverse chronological order such that the cash payment owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering such excise tax will be the first cash payment to be reduced; (ii) reduction of acceleration of vesting of equity awards, which shall occur in the reverse order of the date of grant for such stock awards (i.e., the vesting of the most recently granted stock awards will be reduced first); and (iii) reduction of other benefits paid or provided to the Executive, which shall occur in reverse chronological order such that the benefit owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering such excise tax will be the first benefit to be reduced. If more than one equity award was made to the Executive on the same date of grant, all such awards shall have their acceleration of vesting reduced pro rata.  In no event shall the Executive have any discretion with respect to the ordering of payment reductions.  The Executive will be solely responsible for the payment of all personal tax liability that is incurred as a result of the payments and benefits received under the Agreement, and the Executive will not be reimbursed by any member of the Company Group for any such payments. 
(b)    Determination of Excise Tax Liability.  The Company will select a professional services firm to make all of the determinations required to be made under these paragraphs relating to parachute payments.  The Company will request that such firm provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive prior to the date on which the event that triggers the Payment occurs if administratively feasible, or subsequent to such date if events occur that result in parachute payments to the Executive at that time.  For purposes of making the calculations required under these paragraphs relating to parachute payments, the firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith determinations concerning the application of the Code.  The Company and the Executive will furnish to the firm such information and documents as the firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under these paragraphs relating to parachute payments.  The Company will bear all costs the firm may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by these paragraphs relating to parachute payments.  Any such determination by the firm will be binding upon the Company and the Executive, and the Company will have no liability to the Executive for the determinations of the firm.
7.    Definitions.  The following terms referred to in the Agreement will have the following meanings:
(a)    “Base Salary” means the Executive’s annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Executive’s Qualified Termination (or if the termination is due to a resignation for Good Reason based on a material reduction in base salary, then the Executive’s annual base salary in effect immediately prior to such reduction) or, if such amount is greater, at the level in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control.  
(b)    “Cause” means the occurrence of any of the following: (i) an act of material dishonesty made by the Executive in connection with the Executive’s responsibilities as an employee, (ii) the Executive’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony or any crime involving fraud, embezzlement or any other act of moral turpitude, (iii) the Executive’s violation of any federal, state, or securities law or regulation in a manner detrimental to the business of any member of the Company Group or of any federal, state, or securities law or regulation applicable to the business of any member of the Company Group, (iv) the Executive’s material 

-5-

unauthorized use or disclosure of any proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company Group or any other party to whom the Executive owes an obligation of nondisclosure as a result of the Executive’s relationship with the Company Group, (v) the Executive’s willful and gross misconduct that is or could be materially injurious to any member of the Company Group, (vi) a material breach of any confidentiality agreement or invention assignment agreement between Executive and any member of the Company Group, or (vii) the Executive’s continued failure to perform the Executive’s employment duties (other than a failure resulting from the Executive’s “Disability”) after the Executive has received a written demand of performance from the Employer which specifically sets forth the factual basis for the Employer’s belief that the Executive has not substantially performed the Executive’s duties and has failed to cure such non-performance to the Employer’s reasonable satisfaction within 30 days after receiving such notice.
(c)    “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events:
(i)    Change in Ownership of the Company.  A change in the ownership of the Company which occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (“Person”), acquires ownership of the stock of the Company that, with the stock held by such Person, constitutes more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company; provided, that for this subsection (i), the acquisition of additional stock by any one Person, who prior to such acquisition is considered to own more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company will not be considered a Change of Control. Further, if the stockholders of the Company immediately before such change in ownership continue to retain immediately after the change in ownership, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of shares of the Company’s voting stock immediately prior to the change in ownership, direct or indirect beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company or the ultimate parent entity of the Company, such event shall not be considered a Change of Control under this subsection (i).  For this purpose, indirect beneficial ownership shall include, without limitation, an interest resulting from ownership of the voting securities of one or more corporations or other business entities which own the Company, as the case may be, either directly or through one or more subsidiary corporations or other business entities; or
(ii)    Change in Effective Control of the Company.  If the Company has a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, a change in the effective control of the Company which occurs on the date that a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election.  For purposes of this clause (ii), if any Person is considered to be in effective control of the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same Person will not be considered a Change of Control; or
(iii)    Change in Ownership of a Substantial Portion of the Company’s Assets.  A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets which occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions; provided, however, that for purposes of this clause (iii), the following will not constitute a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets: (A) a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the Company’s stockholders immediately after the transfer, or (B) a transfer of assets by the Company to: (1) a stockholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to the Company’s stock, (2) an entity, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (3) a Person, that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of all the then-outstanding stock of the Company, or (4) an entity, at least 50% of the total 

-6-

value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a Person described in this subsection (iii)(B)(3).
For purposes of this definition, persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company.
For this definition, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.  
A transaction will not be a Change of Control unless the transaction qualifies as a change in control event within the meaning of Section 409A (as defined above).
Further and for the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a Change of Control if: (i) its sole purpose is to change the jurisdiction of the Company’s incorporation, or (ii) its sole purpose is to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction.
(d)    “Change of Control Period” means the period beginning three months prior to and ending 12 months following the Change of Control. 
(e)    “COBRA” means the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended. 
(f)    “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Any reference to specific section of the Code or regulation thereunder shall include such section or regulation, any valid regulation promulgated under such section, and any comparable provision of any future legislation or regulation amending, supplementing or superseding such section or regulation.
(g)    “Company Group” means the Company and its subsidiaries and any parent of the Company. 
(h)    “Deferred Payments” means any severance pay or benefits to be paid or provided to Executive (or Executive’s estate or beneficiaries) pursuant to this Agreement and any other severance payments or separation benefits to be paid or provided to the Executive (or the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries), that in each case, when considered together, are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A.
(i)    “Disability” means the Executive is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, either (i) unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity or (ii) receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than 3 months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Company Group member that is employing the Executive.
(j)    “Good Reason” means the Executive’s resignation within 30 days following the expiration of any Cure Period (discussed below) following the occurrence of one or more of the following, without the Executive’s express written consent: (i) a material reduction of the Executive’s duties, position or responsibilities, or the removal of the Executive from such position and responsibilities, either of which results in a material diminution of the Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities; (ii) a material reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary or target bonus opportunity (except where a substantially similar reduction is applicable 

-7-

to the management team generally and for bona fide business needs); (iii) a material adverse change in the geographic location of Executive’s primary work location; or (iv) a material and adverse change in the Executive’s reporting structure (e.g., Executive no longer reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer).  The Executive will not resign for Good Reason without first providing the Employer with written notice of the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for “Good Reason” within 45 days of the initial existence of the grounds for “Good Reason” and a cure period of 30 days following the date the Employer receives such notice (the “Cure Period”) during which such condition must not have been cured; provided, however, that Employer will be deemed to have waived the Cure Period if the Employer has communicated that it does not intend to cure such condition.
(k)    “Post-COC Period” means the portion of the Change of Control Period that is on or after the date of the closing of the Change of Control.
(l)    “Pre-COC Period” means the portion of the Change of Control Period that is prior to the date of the closing of the Change of Control.
(m)    “Qualified Termination” means a termination of the Executive’s employment (i) by the Employer without Cause; (ii) due to the Executive’s death or by the Employer due to the Executive’s Disability); or (iii) by the Executive for Good Reason, in either case, during the Change of Control Period. 
(n)    “Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Code and any final regulations and guidance thereunder and any applicable state law equivalent, as each may be amended or promulgated from time to time.
8.    Successors. 
(a)    The Company’s Successors.  Any successor (whether direct or indirect and whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company Group’s business and/or assets must assume the obligations under the Agreement and agree expressly to perform the obligations under the Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform such obligations in the absence of a succession.  For all purposes under the Agreement, the terms “Company,” “Company Group,” and “Employer” will include any successor to their business and/or assets which executes and delivers the assumption agreement described in this Section 8(a) or which becomes bound by the terms of the Agreement by operation of law.
(b)    The Executive’s Successors.  The terms of the Agreement and all rights of the Executive under the Agreement will inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees.
9.    Notice. 
(a)    General.  All notices and other communications required or permitted under the Agreement shall be in writing and will be effectively given (i) upon actual delivery to the party to be notified, (ii) 24 hours after confirmed facsimile transmission, (iii) 1 business day after deposit with a recognized overnight courier or (iv) 3 business days after deposit with the U.S. Postal Service by first class certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed (A) if to the Executive, at the address the Executive shall have most recently furnished to the Company in writing, (B) if to the Company, at the following address:

Quantenna Communications, Inc.
3450 W. Warren Avenue
Fremont, CA 94538
Attention: General Counsel
Phone: (510) 743-2260
(b)    Notice of Termination.  Any termination by a Company Group member for Cause will be communicated by a notice of termination to the Executive, and any termination by the Executive for Good Reason will be communicated by a notice of termination to the Company, in each case given in accordance with Section 9(a) of the Agreement.  Such notice will indicate the specific termination provision in the Agreement relied upon, will set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination under the provision so indicated, and will specify the termination date (which will be not more than 30 days after the later of (i) the giving of such notice or (ii) the end of any applicable cure period).  The failure by the Executive to include in the notice any fact or circumstance that contributes to a showing of Good Reason will not waive any right of the Executive under the Agreement or preclude the Executive from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s rights under the Agreement.
10.    Resignation.  The termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason will also constitute, without any further required action by the Executive, the Executive’s voluntary resignation from all officer and/or director positions held at any member of the Company Group, and at the Board’s request, the Executive will execute any documents reasonably necessary to reflect such resignation.
11.    Arbitration. 
(a)    Generally.  The Company and the Executive each agree that any and all disputes arising out of the terms of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment by the Company, the Executive’s service as an officer or director of the Company, or the Executive’s compensation and benefits, their interpretation and any of the matters herein released, will be subject to binding arbitration under the arbitration rules set forth in California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1280 through 1294.2, including Section 1281.8 (the “Act”), and pursuant to California law.  Disputes that the Company and the Executive agree to arbitrate, and thereby agree to waive any right to a trial by jury, include any statutory claims under local, state, or federal law, including, but not limited to, claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the California Family Rights Act, the California Labor Code, claims of harassment, discrimination, and wrongful termination, and any statutory or common law claims.  The Company and the Executive further understand that this agreement to arbitrate also applies to any disputes that the Company may have with the Executive.
(b)    Procedure.  The Company and the Executive agree that any arbitration will be administered by Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), pursuant to its Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”).  The Arbitrator will have the power to decide any motions brought by any party to the arbitration, including motions for summary judgment and/or adjudication, motions to dismiss and demurrers, and motions for class certification, prior to any arbitration hearing.  The Arbitrator will have the power to award any remedies available under applicable law, and the Arbitrator will award attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party, except as prohibited by law.  The Company will pay for any administrative or hearing fees charged by the Arbitrator or JAMS except that the Executive will pay any filing fees associated with any arbitration that the Executive initiates, but only so much of the filing fees as the Executive would have 

-9-

instead paid had he filed a complaint in a court of law.  The Arbitrator will administer and conduct any arbitration in accordance with California law, including the California Code of Civil Procedure, and the Arbitrator will apply substantive and procedural California law to any dispute or claim, without reference to rules of conflict of law.  To the extent that the JAMS Rules conflict with California law, California law will take precedence.  The decision of the Arbitrator will be in writing.  Any arbitration under this Agreement will be conducted in Santa Clara County, California.
(c)    Remedy.  Except as provided by the Act and this Agreement, arbitration will be the sole, exclusive, and final remedy for any dispute between the Executive and the Company.  Accordingly, except as provided for by the Act and this Agreement, neither the Executive nor the Company will be permitted to pursue court action regarding claims that are subject to arbitration.
(d)    Administrative Relief.  The Executive understands that this Agreement does not prohibit him or her from pursuing any administrative claim with a local, state, or federal administrative body or government agency that is authorized to enforce or administer laws related to employment, including, but not limited to, the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, or the Workers’ Compensation Board.  This Agreement does, however, preclude the Executive from pursuing court action regarding any such claim, except as permitted by law.
12.    Voluntary Nature of Agreement.  Each of the Company and the Executive acknowledges and agrees that such party is executing this Agreement voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence by anyone.  The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that he or she has carefully read this Agreement and has asked any questions needed for him or her to understand the terms, consequences, and binding effect of this Agreement and fully understand it, including that the Executive is waiving his or her right to a jury trial.  Finally, the Executive agrees that he or she has been provided an opportunity to seek the advice of an attorney of his or her choice before signing this Agreement.
13.    Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a)    No Duty to Mitigate.  The Executive will not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by the Agreement, nor will any such payment be reduced by any earnings that the Executive may receive from any other source.
(b)    Waiver; Amendment.  No provision of the Agreement will be modified, waived or discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by an authorized officer of the Company (other than the Executive) and by the Executive.  No waiver by either party of any breach of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of the Agreement by the other party will be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition or provision at another time.
(c)    Headings.  All captions and section headings used in the Agreement are for convenient reference only and do not form a part of the Agreement.
(d)    Entire Agreement.  The Agreement, together with the terms of the Employment Agreement (except as expressly superseded by this Agreement, as noted below), constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersedes in their entirety all prior representations, understandings, undertakings or agreements (whether oral or written and whether expressed or implied) of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, including the Original Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement supersedes the Employment Agreement in its entirety with respect to the severance provided thereunder, except for (i) the right 

-10-

to receive the severance benefits as set forth therein with respect to a termination of employment that occurs outside of the Change of Control Period or during the Pre-COC Period, which provisions remain in effect, subject to Section 3(c) of this Agreement.  
(e)    Choice of Law.  This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to California’s conflicts of law rules that may result in the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than California. To the extent that any lawsuit is permitted under this Agreement, the Executive hereby expressly consents to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in California for any lawsuit filed against the Executive by the Company.
(f)    Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of the Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, which will remain in full force and effect.
(g)    Withholding.  All payments and benefits under the Agreement will be paid less applicable withholding taxes.  The Company is authorized to withhold from any payments or benefits all federal, state, local and/or foreign taxes required to be withheld from such payments or benefits and make any other required payroll deductions.  No member of the Company Group will pay the Executive’s taxes arising from or relating to any payments or benefits under the Agreement.
(h)    Counterparts.  The Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

OFFICE LEASE
This Office Lease, which includes the preceding Summary and the exhibits attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the Office Lease, the Summary and the exhibits to be known sometimes collectively hereafter as the "Lease"), dated as of the date set forth in Section 1 of the Summary, is made by and between AUTOMATION PARKWAY OWNER LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Landlord"), and QUANTENNA COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Tenant").

ARTICLE I
 
PROJECT, BUILDING AND PREMISES
1.1    Project, Building and Premises. 
1.1.1    Premises.  Upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Lease, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the premises set forth in Section 6.1 of the Summary (the "Premises"), which Premises are located in the Building defined in Section 6.2 of the Summary and located within the Project (as defined below).  The outline of the floor plan of the Premises is set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.  For all purposes under this Lease, the Premises shall mean the entirety of the Building.
1.1.2    Building and Project.  The Building is part of a multi-building commercial project known as "Automation Parkway".  The term "Project" as used in this Lease, shall mean, collectively: (i) the Building; (ii) the other existing building within Automation Parkway (the "Other Existing Building"); (iii) the surface parking areas servicing the Building and the Other Existing Building (the "Parking Facilities"); (iv) any outside plaza areas, walkways, driveways, courtyards, public and private streets, transportation facilitation areas and other improvements and facilities now or hereafter constructed surrounding and/or servicing the Building and/or the Other Existing Building, which are designated from time to time by Landlord as common areas appurtenant to or servicing the Building, the Other Existing Building and any such other improvements; (v) any additional buildings, improvements, facilities and common areas which Landlord (and/or any common area association formed by Landlord, Landlord's predecessor-in-interest and/or Landlord's assignee for the Project) may add thereto from time to time within or as part of the Project; and (vi) the land upon which any of the foregoing are situated.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, (1) Landlord has no obligation to expand or otherwise make any improvements within the Project, including, without limitation, any of the outside plaza areas, walkways, driveways, courtyards, public and private streets, transportation facilitation areas and other improvements and facilities which comprise the Project (as the same may be modified by Landlord from time to time without notice to Tenant), other than Landlord's obligations (if any) specifically set forth in the Tenant Work Letter, and (2) Landlord shall have the right from time to time to include or exclude any improvements or facilities within the Project, at such party's reasonable election, as more particularly set forth in Section 1.1.3 below, provided that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s access, parking, and other rights under this Lease.
1.1.3    Tenant's and Landlord's Rights.  Tenant is hereby granted the right to the exclusive use of the common corridors and hallways, stairwells, elevators, restrooms and other public or common areas located within the Building, and the non-exclusive use of those areas located on the Project that are designated by Landlord from time to time as common areas for the Building and/or Project (the "Common Areas"); provided, however, that (i) the manner in which such public and Common Areas are maintained and operated shall be at the reasonable discretion of Landlord, (ii) Tenant's use thereof shall be subject to (A) the provisions of any covenants, conditions and restrictions regarding the use thereof now or hereafter recorded against the Project, and (B) such reasonable, non-discriminatory rules, regulations and restrictions as Landlord may make from time to time, and (iii) Tenant may not go on the roof of the Other Existing Building without Landlord's prior consent (which may be withheld in Landlord's reasonable discretion) and without otherwise being accompanied by a representative of Landlord.  Landlord reserves the right from time to time to use any of the Common Areas, and the roof, risers and conduits of the Building and the Other Existing Building for telecommunications and/or any other purposes, and to do any of the following:  (1) make any changes, additions, improvements, repairs and/or replacements in or to the Project or any portion or elements thereof, including, without limitation, (x) changes in the location, size, shape and number of driveways, entrances, loading and unloading areas, ingress, egress, direction of traffic, landscaped areas, walkways, public and private streets, plazas, courtyards, transportation facilitation areas and common areas, and (y) expanding or decreasing the size of the Project and any Common Areas and other elements thereof, including adding, deleting and/or excluding buildings (including the Other Existing Building) thereon and therefrom; (2) close temporarily any of the Common Areas while engaged in making repairs, improvements or alterations to the Project; (3) retain and/or form a common area association or associations under covenants, conditions and restrictions to own, manage, operate, maintain, repair and/or replace all or any portion of the landscaping, driveways, walkways, public and private streets, plazas, courtyards, transportation facilitation areas and/or other Common Areas located outside of the Building and the Other Existing Building and, subject to Article 4 below, include the Common Area assessments, fees and taxes charged by the association(s) and the cost of maintaining, managing, administering and operating the association(s), in Operating Expenses or Tax Expenses; and (4) perform such other acts and make such other changes with respect to the Project as Landlord may, in the exercise of good faith business judgment, deem to be appropriate.  In connection with any work by Landlord in, and alterations or improvements to the common areas for the Building and/or Project, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any material adverse interference with Tenant's business at the Premises, and any unreasonable interference with Tenant's access to the Premises, as a result thereof.

1.2    Condition of Premises.  Except as expressly set forth in this Lease and in the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B, Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement, remodeling or refurbishment work or services related to the improvement, remodeling or refurbishment of the Premises, and Tenant shall accept the Premises in its "AS IS" condition on the Lease Commencement Date, provided that without limiting Landlord’s obligations under the Work Letter, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s own expense, cause the Premises to be in a broom clean condition on the Lease Commencement Date.  On the Lease Commencement Date, Landlord shall deliver the Premises with the existing Systems and Equipment in good working condition and Tenant shall have a review period of ninety (90) days from the Lease Commencement Date (the "Review Period") to confirm such condition.  In the event that Tenant notifies Landlord during the Review Period, in writing, of any of the foregoing items that are not in good working condition, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such items to be promptly repaired, at Landlord’s own expense, to the extent that any deficiencies to such systems are not caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or any of Tenant's Representatives (as defined below), or any Alterations performed by or on behalf of Tenant.  If Tenant fails to timely deliver to Landlord such written notice of Systems or Equipment not in good working condition within the Review Period, Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any such work thereafter, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Lease.
1.3    Rentable Square Feet.  The rentable square feet for the Premises are approximately as set forth in Section 6.1 of the Summary.  Landlord and Tenant agree that such approximation is reasonable, and that for purposes of this Lease, the "rentable square feet" of the Premises and the Building are deemed to be as set forth in Section 6.1 of the Summary, and no economic terms based thereon shall be subject to revision whether or not the actual square footage is more or less.

ARTICLE 2 
 
LEASE TERM
This Lease shall be effective as of the date of this Lease.  The term of this Lease (the "Lease Term") shall be as set forth in Section 7.1 of the Summary and shall commence on the date (the "Lease Commencement Date") set forth in Section 7.2 of the Summary (subject, however, to the terms of the Tenant Work Letter), and shall terminate on the date (the "Lease Expiration Date") set forth in Section 7.3 of the Summary, unless this Lease is sooner terminated as hereinafter provided.  For purposes of this Lease, the term "Lease Year" shall mean each consecutive twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term, provided that the last Lease Year shall end on the Lease Expiration Date.  If Landlord does not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant Ready for Occupancy on or before October 1, 2017, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability nor shall the validity of this Lease nor the obligations of Tenant hereunder be affected.  Within a reasonable period of time after the Lease Commencement Date, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant an amendment to lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, setting forth the Lease Commencement Date and the Lease Expiration Date, which amendment Tenant shall execute (or reasonably object to) and return to Landlord within five (5) business days after Tenant's receipt thereof.

ARTICLE 3 
 
BASE RENT
Tenant shall pay, without notice or demand, to Landlord or Landlord's agent at the management office of the Project, or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, in currency or a check for currency which, at the time of payment, is legal tender for private or public debts in the United States of America, base rent ("Base Rent") as set forth in Section 8 of the Summary, payable in equal monthly installments as set forth in Section 8 of the Summary in advance on or before the first day of each and every month during the Lease Term, without any setoff or deduction whatsoever (except to the extent otherwise expressly provided for in this Lease).  The Base Rent and estimated Additional Rent for the first full month of the Lease Term (in the aggregate amount of $141,469.44) shall be paid at the time of Tenant's execution of this Lease.  If any rental payment date (including the Lease Commencement Date) falls on a day of the month other than the first day of such month or if any rental payment is for a period which is shorter than one month, then the rental for any such fractional month shall be a proportionate amount of a full calendar month's rental based on the proportion that the number of days in such fractional month bears to the number of days in the calendar month during which such fractional month occurs.  All other payments or adjustments required to be made under the terms of this Lease that require proration on a time basis shall be prorated on the same basis.  

ARTICLE 4 
 
ADDITIONAL RENT
4.1    Additional Rent.  In addition to paying the Base Rent specified in Article 3 of this Lease, Tenant shall pay as additional rent the sum of the following: (i) Tenant's Share (as such term is defined below) of the annual Operating Expenses allocated to the Building (pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below); plus (ii) Tenant's Share of the annual Tax Expenses allocated to the Building (pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below); plus (iii) Tenant's Share of the annual Utilities Costs allocated to the Building (pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below).  Such additional rent, together with any and all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease (including, without limitation, pursuant to Article 6), shall be hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Additional Rent."  The Base Rent and Additional Rent are herein collectively referred to as the "Rent."  All amounts due under this Article 4 as Additional Rent shall be payable for the same periods and in the same manner, time and place as the Base Rent.  Without limitation on other obligations of Tenant which shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term, the obligations of Tenant to pay the Additional Rent 

	
			
	071053\8589453v5 
	2
	 

	 

provided for in this Article 4 which has accrued during the Lease Term shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term.  Landlord and Tenant intend that this Lease be a "triple net lease."  
4.2    Definitions.  As used in this Article 4, the following terms shall have the meanings hereinafter set forth:    
4.2.1    "Operating Expenses" shall mean the total amounts paid or payable by Landlord in connection with the ownership, management, maintenance, repair, replacement and operation of the Premises and Project (but only to the extent Landlord actually expends such costs pursuant to this Lease), including, without limitation, Landlord's cost of: (i) repairs to, and maintenance of, the Building, including, without limitation, the roof and roof membrane; (ii) maintaining the Common Areas; (iii) annual insurance premium(s) for any and all insurance Landlord elects to obtain, including without limitation, "all risk" or "special purpose" coverage, earthquake and flood for the Project, rental value insurance, and any deductible; (iv) (a) modifications and/or new improvements to any portion of the Project as required by applicable government laws or regulations; (b) reasonably necessary replacement improvements to any portion of the Project on a “like-kind” basis; and (c) new improvements to the Project that are intended to reduce operating costs or improve life/safety conditions or Conservation Costs (as defined below), all of the foregoing as reasonably determined by Landlord; provided, if such costs are of a capital nature, then such costs or allocable portions thereof shall be amortized over their useful life, together with reasonable interest on the unamortized balance in accordance with reasonable real estate accounting and management principles, consistently applied; (v) the management and administration of the Project, including, without limitation, a property management fee (not to exceed three percent (3%) of aggregate gross Rent), accounting, auditing, billing, postage, salaries and benefits for employees at or below the level of Senior Property Manager, whether located on the Project or off-site, payroll taxes and accounting costs and all fees, licenses and permits related to the ownership, operation and management of the Project and any common area amenities; (vi) preventative maintenance and repair contracts including, but not limited to, contracts for elevator systems (if any), heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (to the extent maintained by Landlord) and lifts for disabled persons; (vii) security and fire protection services for any portion of the Project, if and to the extent, in Landlord's sole discretion, such services are provided; (viii) the creation and modification of any licenses, easements or other similar undertakings with respect to the Project, including, without limitation, the cost of the creation, management and operation of an owner's association to manage and operate the Project at any time and from time to time (the "Association"); (ix) supplies, materials, equipment, rental equipment and other similar items used in the operation and/or maintenance of the Project and any reasonable reserves established for replacement or repair of any Common Area improvements or equipment; (x) any and all levies, charges, fees and/or assessments payable to the Association or any other applicable owner's association or similar body; (xi) any barrier removal work or other required improvements, alterations or work to any portion of the Project generally required under the ADA (defined below) (the "ADA Work"); provided, if such ADA Work is required under the ADA due to Tenant's particular use of the Premises or any Alteration (defined below) made to the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant, then the cost of such ADA Work shall be borne solely by Tenant and shall not be included as part of the Operating Expenses; (xii) the repairs and maintenance items set forth in Section 7.2 below; and (xiii) costs for workers' compensation insurance, wages, withholding taxes, personal property taxes, fees for required licenses and permits, supplies, charges for management of the Building and common areas, and the costs and expenses of complying with, or participating in, conservation, recycling, sustainability, energy efficiency, waste reduction or other programs or practices implemented or enacted from time to time at the Building, including without limitation, in connection with any LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating or compliance system or program, including that currently coordinated through the U.S. Green Building Council or Energy Star rating and/or compliance system or program (collectively "Conservation Costs").  If any of (x) the Building, (y) the Other Existing Building (but only during the period of time the same are included by Landlord within the Project) and (z) any additional buildings are added to the Project pursuant to Section 1.1.3 above (but only during the period of time after such additional buildings have been fully constructed and ready for occupancy and are included by Landlord within the Project) are less than ninety-five percent (95%) occupied, 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, the Other Existing Building and such additional buildings (if any) been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied; and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been the amount of Operating Expenses for such year, or applicable portion thereof.  
Subject to the provisions of Section 4.3.4 below, Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to equitably allocate some or all of the Operating Expenses (and/or Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs) between the Building and the Other Existing Building and/or among different tenants of the Project and/or among different buildings of the Project as and when such different buildings are constructed and added to (and/or excluded from) the Project or otherwise (the "Cost Pools") in accordance with reasonable real estate accounting and management principles, consistently applied.  Such Cost Pools may include, without limitation, the office space tenants and other tenants of the Project or of a building or buildings within the Project.  Such Cost Pools may also include an allocation of certain Operating Expenses (and/or Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs) within or under covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Project.  In addition, Landlord shall have the right from time to time, in its reasonable discretion, to include or exclude existing or future buildings in the Project for purposes of determining Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs and/or the provision of various services and amenities thereto, including allocation of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs in any such Cost Pools in accordance with reasonable real estate accounting and management principles, consistently applied.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operating Expenses shall not, however, include: (A) costs of leasing commissions, attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with negotiations or disputes with present or prospective tenants or other occupants of the Project; (B) costs (including permit, license and inspection costs) incurred in renovating or otherwise improving, decorating or redecorating rentable space for other tenants or

Landlord shall have the right from time to time to redetermine the rentable square feet of the Premises and/or Building, including as may be necessary for the implementation of Cost Pools, and Tenant's Share shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any such redetermination, provided that such redetermination shall not result in any increase in Base Rent payable by Tenant hereunder.  If Tenant's Share is adjusted pursuant to the foregoing, as to the year in which such adjustment occurs, Tenant's Share for such year shall be determined on the basis of the number of days during such year that each such Tenant's Share was in effect.  
4.2.5    "Utilities Costs" shall mean all actual charges for utilities for the Common Areas of Project which Landlord shall pay during any year, including, but not limited to, the costs of water, sewer and electricity and other utilities as well as related fees, assessments, measurement meters and devices and surcharges.

4.3    Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent.
4.3.1    Payment of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs.  For each year ending or commencing within the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the following, which payment shall be made in the manner set forth in Section 4.3.2 below:  (i) Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below; plus (ii) Tenant's Share of Tax Expenses allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below; plus (iii) Tenant's Share of Utilities Costs allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below.
4.3.2    Statement of Actual Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs and Payment by Tenant.  Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant on or before the thirtieth (30th) day of June following the end of each calendar year, a statement (the "Statement") which shall state the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs incurred or accrued for such preceding calendar year that are allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below, and which shall indicate therein Tenant's Share thereof.  Upon receipt of the Statement for each calendar year ending during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, the full amount of Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs for such year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such year as "Estimated Expenses," as that term is defined in Section 4.3.3 of this Lease.  The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any 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 Tenant's Share of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs for the year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount as calculated pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.3.1 of this Lease within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written invoice.  The provisions of this Section 4.3.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.
4.3.3    Statement of Estimated Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs.  In addition, Landlord shall endeavor to give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the "Estimate Statement") which shall set forth Landlord's reasonable estimate (the "Estimate") of what the total amount of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs allocated to the Building pursuant to Section 4.3.4 below for the then-current calendar year shall be, and which shall indicate therein Tenant's Share thereof (the "Estimated Expenses").  The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Expenses under this Article 4.  Following Landlord's delivery of the Estimate Statement, Tenant shall pay within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Estimate Statement, and thereafter with each installment of Base Rent due, a fraction of the Estimated Expenses for the then-current 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 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 (1/12) of the total Estimated Expenses set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.

4.3.4    Allocation of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs to Building.  The parties acknowledge that the Building is part of a multi-building commercial project consisting of the Building, the Other Existing Building and such other buildings as Landlord may elect to construct and include as part of the Project from time to time (the Other Existing Building and any such other buildings are sometimes referred to herein, collectively, as the "Other Buildings"), and that certain of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Project (i.e. the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs) shall be shared among the Building and/or such Other Buildings, while certain other costs and expenses which are solely attributable to the Building and such Other Buildings, as applicable, shall be allocated directly to the Building and the Other Buildings, respectively in accordance with reasonable real estate accounting and management principles, consistently applied.  Accordingly, as set forth in Sections  4.1 and 4.2 above, Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs are determined annually for the Project as a whole, and a portion of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs, which portion shall be determined by Landlord in accordance with reasonable real estate accounting and management principles, consistently applied, shall be allocated to the Building (as opposed to the tenants of the Other Buildings), and such portion so allocated shall be the amount of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs payable with respect to the Building upon which Tenant's Share shall be calculated.  Such portion of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs allocated to the Building shall include all Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs which are attributable solely to the Building, and an equitable portion of the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs attributable to the Project as a whole.  As an example of such allocation with respect to Tax Expenses, it is anticipated that Landlord may receive separate tax bills which separately assess the improvements component of Tax Expenses for each building in the Project, and such separately assessed Tax Expenses shall be calculated for and allocated separately to each such applicable building.  In addition, in the event Landlord elect to subdivide certain common area portions of the Project such as landscaping, public and private streets, driveways, walkways, courtyards, plazas, transportation facilitation areas and/or accessways into a separate parcel or parcels of land (and/or separately convey all or any of such parcels to a common area association to own, operate and/or maintain same), the Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs for such common area parcels of land may be aggregated and then reasonably allocated by Landlord to the Building and such Other Buildings on an equitable basis as Landlord (and/or any applicable covenants, conditions and restrictions for any such common area association) shall provide from time to time in accordance with reasonable real estate accounting and management principles, consistently applied.

4.4    Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of written invoice for any and all taxes or assessments required to be paid by Landlord (except to the extent included in Tax Expenses by Landlord) and chargeable to Tenant hereunder, 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 Tenant's 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-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 Project (including the Parking Facilities); 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 Landlord's designee by the due date therefor, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount due plus any attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's 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 Landlord's other rights and remedies hereunder, at law and/or in equity and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord's remedies in any manner.  In addition to the late charge described above, any Rent or other amounts owing hereunder which are not paid by the date that 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 four percent (4%), or (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the first instance each calendar year wherein Tenant is late in making a payment to Landlord of Rent or any other sums payable by Tenant hereunder, the foregoing late charge shall not be assessed until five (5) days after such Rent or other amount is past due.
4.6    Audit.  After delivery to Landlord of at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice delivered no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of a Statement, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense through any accountant designated by it, shall have the right to examine and/or audit the books and records evidencing such costs and expenses for the previous one (1) calendar year, during Landlord's reasonable business hours but not more frequently than once during any calendar year.  Any such accounting firm designated by Tenant may not be compensated on a contingency fee basis.  The results of any such audit (and any negotiations between the parties related thereto) shall be maintained strictly confidential by Tenant and its accounting firm and shall not be disclosed, published or otherwise disseminated to any other party other than to Landlord and its authorized agents.  Landlord and Tenant each shall use

its best efforts to cooperate in such negotiations and to promptly resolve any discrepancies between Landlord and Tenant in the accounting of such costs and expenses.  If Tenant fails to timely deliver written notice of Tenant's desire to audit a Statement pursuant to this Section 4.6 or Tenant fails to commence and complete such audit within six (6) months after Landlord’s delivery of the Statement in question, then Tenant shall be deemed to have approved of such Statement and such Statement shall be final and binding upon Tenant.

Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has advised Tenant that the Building contains or, because of its age, is likely to contain, asbestos.  Upon Tenant's request, Landlord will make available for review by Tenant at the Project during normal business hours (without warranty) copies of any current asbestos management plans, inspection reports, test results or other similar documents in Landlord's possession relating to the presence of asbestos at the Building.

If Tenant so performs any of Landlord's Repair Obligations hereunder, the full amount of the fair and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant shall be owing by Landlord to Tenant, and Landlord shall pay to Tenant the full undisputed amount thereof within sixty (60) days of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s written demand therefor together with reasonable evidence verifying the amount of such costs and expenses.
7.3    Landlord's Other Repairs.  Anything contained in Section 7.1 above to the contrary notwithstanding, and subject to Articles 11 and 12 of this Lease, except for repairs rendered necessary by any Alterations or the intentional or negligent acts or omissions of Tenant or any of Tenant's Representatives (in which event(s), subject to the terms of Section 10.4, Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of any such repairs or replacements), Landlord shall, at Landlord's sole cost and expense (and not reimbursed as a component of Operating Expenses), keep in good repair and condition the structural portions of the Building (including floors and foundations) and exterior perimeter walls of the Building (exclusive of glass [except as provided in Section 7.1 above with respect to capital replacements of the exterior glass storefront system] and exterior doors).

ARTICLE 8 
 
ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS
8.1    Landlord's Consent to 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 or delayed 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 materially adversely affect the Systems and Equipment or which can be seen from outside the Premises.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the installation by Tenant of a Wi-Fi Network shall be governed by the terms of Section 8.3 below.  Tenant shall pay for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and expenses of the Alterations, and shall pay to Landlord a Landlord supervision fee of five percent (5%) of the cost of the Alterations.  The construction of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8.  Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense and without Landlord's written consent, perform interior, non-structural alterations or additions to the Premises provided such alterations or additions do not affect the structural components of the Building or Systems and Equipment or require any permit or roof penetrations and the cost of which does not exceed $75,000 in the aggregate over a 12 month period (the "Permitted Alterations").  Tenant shall first notify Landlord at least fifteen (15) days prior to commencing any Permitted Alterations so that Landlord may post a Notice of Non-Responsibility on the Premises.
8.2    Manner of Construction.  Landlord may impose, as a condition of its consent to all Alterations or repairs of the Premises or about the Premises, such requirements as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the requirement that Tenant utilize for such purposes only contractors, materials, mechanics and materialmen approved by Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may impose such requirements as Landlord may determine, in its good faith business judgment, with respect to any work affecting the structural 

	
			
	071053\8589453v5

components of the Building or Systems and Equipment (including designating specific contractors to perform such work).  Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform such repairs in conformance with any and all applicable rules and regulations of any federal, state, county or municipal code or ordinance (including California Energy Code, Title 24) and pursuant to a valid building permit, issued by the city in which the Project is located, and in conformance with Landlord's construction rules and regulations.  In the event that any proposed Alterations trigger the need for repairs, maintenance, improvements or alterations outside of the Premises for any reason, Tenant shall be solely responsible for the performance of all such work at Tenant's sole cost and expense.  Landlord's approval of the plans, specifications and working drawings for Tenant's Alterations shall create no responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with all laws, rules and regulations of governmental agencies or authorities.  All work with respect to any Alterations must be done in a good and workmanlike manner and diligently prosecuted to completion to the end that the Premises shall at all times be a complete unit except during the period of work.  In performing the work of any such Alterations, Tenant shall have the work performed in such manner as not to obstruct access to the Building or Project or the Common Areas for any other tenant of the Project, and as not to obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants of the Project, or interfere with the labor force working at the Project.  If Tenant makes any Alterations, Tenant agrees to carry "Builder's All Risk" insurance covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, it being understood and agreed that all of such Alterations shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article 10 of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof.  In addition, for Alterations anticipated to cost in excess of $250,000 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 Project is located in accordance with Section 8182 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, (ii) deliver to the management office of the Project 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.
8.3    Landlord's Property.  All Alterations, improvements, and/or fixtures which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises, and all signs installed in, on or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of Landlord.  Furthermore, Landlord may require that Tenant remove any improvement or Alteration (including any data cabling and wiring) upon the expiration or early termination of the Lease Term, and repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no right to require Tenant to remove any Alteration unless it notifies Tenant at the time it consents to such Alteration that it shall require the same to be removed.  If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any Alterations (including any data cabling and wiring), Landlord may do so and may charge the cost thereof to Tenant (together with a five percent (5%) supervision/administration fee), and Tenant shall pay such cost to Landlord within thirty (30) days of being billed for the same.  Tenant’s moveable trade fixtures, furniture, equipment and other personal property installed in the Premises (“Tenant’s Property”) shall at all times be and remain Tenant’s Property.  Tenant may remove Tenant’s Property from the Premises, provided that Tenant repairs all damage caused by such removal.  Landlord shall have no lien or other interest in any item of Tenant’s Property. 

ARTICLE 9 
 
COVENANT AGAINST LIENS
Tenant has no authority or power to cause or permit any lien or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever, whether created by act of Tenant, operation of law or otherwise, to attach to or be placed upon the Project, Building or Premises, and any and all liens and encumbrances created by Tenant shall attach to Tenant's interest only.  Landlord shall have the right at all times to post and keep posted on the Premises any notice which it deems necessary for protection from such liens.  Tenant covenants and agrees not to suffer or permit any lien of mechanics or materialmen or others to be placed against the Project, the Building or the Premises with respect to work or services claimed to have been performed for or materials claimed to have been furnished to Tenant or the Premises, and, in case of any such lien attaching or notice of any lien, Tenant covenants and agrees to cause it to be promptly released and removed of record.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, if any such lien is not released and removed within ten (10) days of notice of such lien is delivered by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord, at its sole option, may immediately take all action necessary to release and remove such lien, without any duty to investigate the validity thereof, and all sums, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, incurred by Landlord in connection with such lien shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease and shall immediately be due and payable by Tenant.

ARTICLE 10 
 
INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
10.1    Indemnification and Waiver.  Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property and injury to persons, in, on, or about the Premises and/or Parking Facilities from any cause whatsoever and agrees that Landlord, and its partners and subpartners, and their respective officers, agents, property managers, servants, employees, and independent contractors (collectively, "Landlord Parties") shall not be liable for, and are hereby released from any responsibility for, any damage to property or injury to persons or resulting from the loss of use thereof, which damage or injury is sustained by Tenant, Tenant's employees, agents, contractors, invitees or by other persons claiming through Tenant; provided, however, that the terms of the foregoing waiver shall not apply to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Landlord Parties.  Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with or arising from any cause in, on or about the Premises (including, without

limitation, Tenant's installation, placement and removal of Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises), and any acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or of any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, or of the contractors, agents, servants, employees, licensees or invitees of Tenant or any such person, in, on or about the Premises, the Building and Project; provided, however, that the terms of the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.  The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
10.2    Tenant's Compliance with Landlord's Fire and Casualty Insurance.  Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, comply as to the Premises with all insurance company requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises.  If Tenant's conduct or use of the Premises causes any increase in the premium for such insurance policies, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such increase. Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations or requirements of the American Insurance Association (formerly the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and with any similar body.
10.3    Tenant's Insurance.  Tenant shall maintain the following coverages in the following amounts.
10.3.1    Commercial General Liability Insurance covering the insured against claims of bodily injury, personal injury and property damage arising out of Tenant's operations, assumed liabilities or use of the Premises, including a Broad Form Commercial General Liability endorsement covering the insuring provisions of this Lease and the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreements set forth in Section 10.1 of this Lease, (and with owned and non-owned automobile liability coverage, and liquor liability coverage in the event alcoholic beverages are served on the Premises) for limits of liability not less than:
	
		
	Bodily Injury and 
Property Damage Liability
	$5,000,000 each occurrence 
$5,000,000 annual aggregate

	Personal Injury Liability
	$5,000,000 each occurrence 
$5,000,000 annual aggregate 
0% Insured's participation

10.3.2    Physical Damage Insurance covering (i) all furniture, trade fixtures, equipment, merchandise and all other items of Tenant's property on the Premises installed by, for, or at the expense of Tenant, and (ii) all improvements, alterations and additions made by Tenant to the Premises or which are installed at Tenant's request above the ceiling of the Premises or below the floor of the Premises.  Such insurance shall be written on a "physical loss or damage" basis under a "special form" policy, for the full replacement cost value new without deduction for depreciation of the covered items and in amounts that meet any co-insurance clauses of the policies of insurance and shall include a vandalism and malicious mischief endorsement, sprinkler leakage coverage and earthquake sprinkler leakage coverage.
10.3.3    Workers' compensation insurance as required by law.
10.3.4    Loss-of-income, business interruption and extra-expense insurance in such amounts as will reimburse Tenant for direct and indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils commonly insured against by prudent tenants or attributable to prevention of loss of access to the Premises or to the Building as a result of such perils.
10.3.5    Tenant shall carry comprehensive automobile liability insurance having a combined single limit of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence and insuring Tenant against liability for claims arising out of ownership, maintenance or use of any owned, hired or non-owned automobiles.
10.3.6    The minimum limits of policies of insurance required of Tenant under this Lease shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease.  Such insurance shall:  (i) with respect to liability coverage, name Landlord, and any other party with an insurable interest it so specifies, as an additional insured and with respect to property policies of insurance, such parties shall be named a loss payee; (ii) specifically cover the liability assumed by Tenant under this Lease, including, but not limited to, Tenant's obligations under Section 10.1 of this Lease; (iii) be issued by an insurance company having a rating of not less than A-VII in Best's Insurance Guide or which is otherwise acceptable to Landlord and licensed to do business in the state in which the Project is located; (iv) be primary insurance as to all claims thereunder and provide that any insurance carried by Landlord is excess and is non-contributing with any insurance requirement of Tenant; (v) contain a cross-liability endorsement or severability of interest clause acceptable to Landlord; and (vii) with respect to the insurance required in Sections 10.3.1 and 10.3.2 above, have commercially reasonable deductible amounts.  Tenant shall deliver said policy or policies or certificates thereof to Landlord on or before the Lease Commencement Date and at least ten (10) days before the expiration dates thereof.  If Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to deliver such policies or certificate, within such time periods, Landlord may, at its option, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies under this Lease, and without regard to any notice and cure periods set forth in Section 19.1, procure such policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after delivery of bills therefor.
10.4    Subrogation.  Landlord and Tenant agree to have their respective insurance companies issuing property damage insurance waive any rights of subrogation that such companies may have against Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be.  Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any right that either may have against the other on account of any loss or damage to their respective property to the extent such loss or damage is insurable under policies of insurance for fire and all risk coverage, theft, public liability, or other similar insurance.

10.5    Additional Insurance Obligations.  Tenant shall carry and maintain during the entire Lease Term, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, increased amounts of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article 10, and such other reasonable types of insurance coverage and in such reasonable amounts covering the Premises and Tenant's operations therein, as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, provided such additional insurance is consistent with the amounts and types of insurance then being required by reasonably prudent landlords of comparable buildings in the vicinity of the Building or as otherwise  required by Landlord's lenders.
10.6    Landlord's Insurance.  Landlord shall maintain in full force and effect during the Lease Term, subject to reimbursement as provided in Article 4, policies of insurance which afford such coverages as are commercially reasonable and as are consistent with other properties in Landlord's portfolio.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall obtain and keep in force during the Lease Term, as an item of Operating Expenses, a policy or policies in the name of Landlord, with loss payable to Landlord and to the holders of any mortgages, deeds of trust or ground leases on the Premises ("Lender(s)"), insuring loss or damage to the Building, including all improvements, fixtures (other than trade fixtures) and permanent additions.  However, all alterations, additions and improvements made to the Premises by Tenant shall be insured by Tenant rather than by Landlord as provided in Section 10.3.2(ii) above.  The amount of such insurance procured by Landlord shall be equal to at least eighty percent (80%) of the full replacement cost of the Building, including all improvements and permanent additions as the same shall exist from time to time, or the amount required by Lenders.  At Landlord's option, such policy or policies shall insure against all risks of direct physical loss or damage (including, without limitation, the perils of flood and earthquake), including coverage for any additional costs resulting from debris removal and reasonable amounts of coverage for the enforcement of any ordinance or law regulating the reconstruction or replacement of any undamaged sections of the Building required to be demolished or removed by reason of the enforcement of any building, zoning, safety or land use laws as the result of a covered cause of loss.  If any such insurance coverage procured by Landlord has a deductible clause, the deductible shall not exceed commercially reasonable amounts, and in the event of any casualty, the amount of such deductible shall be an item of Operating Expenses as so limited.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent the cost of maintaining insurance with respect to the Building and/or any other buildings within the Project is increased as a result of Tenant's acts, omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of, and for, such increase(s) as Additional Rent.

ARTICLE 11 
 
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
11.1    Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord.  Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty.  If the Premises or any Common Areas serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord's reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 11, restore the Premises and such Common Areas of the Project for which Landlord is obligated to maintain pursuant to this Lease.  Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the Premises and Common Areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Building and/or Project, or the lessor of a ground or underlying lease with respect to the Project and/or the Building, or any other modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord, provided access to the Premises shall not be materially impaired. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant's insurance required under Section 10.3.2(ii) of this Lease, and Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the tenant improvements and alterations installed in the Premises by Tenant and shall return such tenant improvements and alterations to their original condition; provided that if the cost of such repair by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant's insurance carrier, as assigned by Tenant, the cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord's repair of the damage.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Landlord be obligated to repair or restore any specialized or dedicated equipment serving Tenant, such as any cabling, wiring, supplemental utility system, telephone system or wireless/Wi-Fi Network.  In connection with such repairs and replacements to the tenant improvements and alterations installed in the Premises by Tenant, Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of construction, submit to Landlord, for Landlord's review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such improvement work.  Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant's business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or Common Areas necessary to Tenant's occupancy, Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease, and not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof.
11.2    Landlord's Option to Repair.  Notwithstanding the terms of Section 11.1 of this Lease, Landlord may elect not to rebuild and/or restore the Premises, the Building and/or any other portion of the Project and instead terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant ninety (90) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present:  (i) repairs cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Project or ground or underlying lessor with respect to the Project and/or the Building shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground or underlying lease, as the case may be; or (iii) the damage is not fully covered, except for 

	
			
	071053\8589453v5

deductible amounts, by Landlord's insurance policies.  In addition, if the Premises or the Building is destroyed or damaged to any substantial extent during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 11, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant of the exercise of such option within thirty (30) days after such damage or destruction, in which event this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such notice.  Upon any such termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 11.2, Tenant shall pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent, properly apportioned up to such date of termination (subject to abatement as set forth herein), and both parties hereto shall thereafter be freed and discharged of all further obligations hereunder, except as provided for in provisions of this Lease which by their terms survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.  Landlord shall not have the right to terminate the Lease if the damage to the Building is relatively minor (e.g., repair or restoration would cost less than five percent (5%) of the replacement cost of the Building). 
11.3    Tenant's Termination Option.  If (i) Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord's termination right as provided in Section 11.2 above, (ii) the damage is not the result of Tenant's negligence or willful misconduct, (iii) the damage substantially interferes with Tenant's access to or usage of the Premises and Tenant does not thereafter use the Premises, and (iv) Landlord's restoration work cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord's licensed contractor, be substantially completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of damage, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice thereof to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's Damage Notice, which termination shall be effective as of the date which is ninety (90) days after the date such termination notice is delivered to Landlord.  In addition, if the Premises is destroyed or materially damaged during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term such that restoration work cannot, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s licensed contractor, be substantially completed with ninety (90) days after the date of damage and such damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees or contractors, then Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Landlord of the exercise of such option within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from Landlord as to the anticipated time necessary to substantially complete repairs thereto, in which event this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such notice.
11.4    Waiver of Statutory Provisions.  The provisions of this Lease, including this Article 11, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Project, and any statute or regulation of the state in which the Project is located, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Project.

ARTICLE 12 
 
CONDEMNATION
12.1    Permanent Taking.  If the whole or any part of the Premises, Building or Project shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any part of the Premises, Building or Project, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days' notice, provided such notice is given no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such taking, condemnation, reconfiguration, vacation, deed or other instrument.  If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises is taken, or if access to the Premises is substantially impaired, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days' notice, provided such notice is given no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such taking.  Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant's personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and for moving expenses, so long as such claim does not diminish the award available to Landlord, its ground lessor with respect to the Project or its mortgagee, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant.  All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination, or the date of such taking, whichever shall first occur.  If any part of the Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs shall be proportionately abated.  Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
12.2    Temporary Taking.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 12, in the event of a temporary taking of all or any portion of the Premises for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less, then this Lease shall not terminate but the Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs shall be abated for the period of such taking in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises taken bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises.  Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award made in connection with any such temporary taking.

ARTICLE 13 
 
COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT
Landlord covenants that Tenant, on paying the Rent, charges for services and other payments herein reserved and on keeping, observing and performing all the other terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed, shall, during the Lease Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises subject to the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements hereof without interference by any persons lawfully claiming by or through Landlord.  The foregoing covenant is in lieu of any other covenant express or implied.

ARTICLE 14 
 
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
14.1    Transfers.  Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment or other such foregoing transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by any persons other than Tenant and its employees (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as "Transfers" and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "Transferee").  If Tenant shall desire Landlord's consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the "Transfer Notice") shall include (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the "Subject Space"), (iii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, and (v) such other information as Landlord may reasonably require.  Any Transfer made without Landlord's prior written consent shall, at Landlord's option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord's option, constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease.  Each time Tenant requests Landlord's consent to a proposed Transfer, whether or not Landlord shall grant consent, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord, as Additional Rent hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500.00) to reimburse Landlord for its review and processing fees, and Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for any reasonable legal fees incurred by Landlord in connection with Tenant's proposed Transfer.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 14.1, so long as Tenant delivers to Landlord (i) at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior written notice of its intention to assign or sublease the Premises to any Permitted Transferee, which notice shall set forth the name of the Permitted Transferee, (ii) a copy of the proposed agreement pursuant to which such assignment or sublease shall be effectuated, and (iii) such other information concerning the Permitted Transferee as Landlord may reasonably require, including without limitation, information regarding any change in the proposed use of any portion of the Premises and any financial information with respect to such Permitted Transferee, and so long as (a) any change in the proposed use of the subject portion of the Premises is in conformance with the uses permitted to be made under this Lease and do not involve the use or storage of any Hazardous Materials (other than nominal amounts of ordinary household cleaners, office supplies and janitorial supplies which are not regulated by any environmental laws), and (b) the Permitted Transferee has a tangible net worth and net income, in the aggregate, computed in accordance with standard commercial real estate accounting practices (but excluding goodwill as an asset), which is equal to or greater than Tenant as of the date of this Lease, then Tenant may assign this Lease or sublease any portion of the Premises (1) to any Related Entity, or (2) in connection with any merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of the assets of Tenant, without having to obtain the prior written consent of Landlord thereto (each such transfer shall be referred to herein as a "Permitted Transfer" and each transferee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer shall be referred to herein as a "Permitted Transferee").  Any Permitted Transfer shall in no way relieve Tenant of any liability Tenant may have under this Lease and such assignee or sublessee shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant hereunder.  For purposes of this Section 14.1, the term "Related Entity" shall mean any entity controlled by, under control with, or in control of Tenant.  The term "control" as used in the immediately preceding sentence shall mean having direct ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the ownership interests of an entity and having the ability to direct the management and policies of such entity.
14.2    Landlord's Consent.  Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay 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 of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building or Project;
14.2.2    The Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease;
14.2.3    The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof;
14.2.4    The Transfer will result in more than a reasonable and safe number of occupants per floor within the Subject Space;

	
			
	071053\8589453v5 
	14
	 

	 

14.2.5    The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability that has and will continue to have sufficient financial strength to perform all of the remaining obligations of Tenant under the Lease (or under the sublease in the case of a sublease) from and after the date of transfer, as reasonably determined by Landlord taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances;
14.2.6    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 Project a right to cancel its lease;
14.2.7    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
14.2.8    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 Project at the time of the request for consent, and Landlord has vacant space in the Project that is reasonably comparable, (ii) is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Project at such time, or (iii) has negotiated with Landlord during the nine (9) 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 Landlord's consent, but not later than the expiration of said six-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 Tenant's original Transfer Notice, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14 (including Landlord's 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 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 if less than all of the Premises is transferred, after deducting the reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant for (i) any reasonable changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises in connection with the Transfer (but only to the extent approved by Landlord), and (ii) any reasonable brokerage commissions and legal fees in connection with the Transfer.  "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 rendered by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee in connection with such Transfer.  This Section 14.3 shall not apply to any Permitted Transfer.
14.4    Landlord's Option as to Subject Space.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, in connection with any proposed sublease for fifty percent (50%) or more of the Premises for fifty percent (50%) or more of the remainder of the Term or in connection with a proposed assignment, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice ("Landlord’s Recapture Notice") to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Transfer Notice or any other written notice of Tenant's intent to enter into a Transfer, to recapture the Subject Space or the entirety of the Premises, as determined in Landlord's sole discretion.  If, within five (5) days of Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of Landlord’s Recapture Notice, Tenant does not deliver to Landlord written notice that Tenant has elected (i) not to consummate such proposed assignment or sublease, and (ii) to rescind the request to enter into such proposed assignment or sublease, then delivery of Landlord’s Recapture Notice shall serve to cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to either the Subject Space or entire Premises, as applicable, as of the date stated in the Transfer Notice as the effective date of the proposed Transfer (with respect to Landlord's recapture following receipt of a Transfer Notice), and otherwise, such termination shall be effective on the date that is sixty (60) days after Landlord's delivery of a recapture 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 notifies Tenant of its election to recapture the Premises, Tenant may revoke its Transfer Notice within five (5) days and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.  If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner to recapture the Subject Space or Premises 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.  This Section 14.4 shall not apply to any Permitted Transfer.
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 Landlord's 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 directly relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof.  If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer 

	
			
	071053\8589453v5 
	15
	 

	 

shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency and Landlord's costs of such audit.
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 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 more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant within a twelve (12) month period.

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 cabling, wiring or conduit (including any such cabling or wiring associated with the Wi-Fi Network, if any) which may have been placed at the Project or within the Building by or on behalf of Tenant (including any cabling or wiring installed above the ceiling of the Premises or below the floor of 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 a tenancy at sufferance only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Base Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease for the first two (2) months of such holdover and one hundred seventy-five percent (175%) of such Base Rent amount thereafter.  Such 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 upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, provided that Landlord has delivered reasonable prior notice that Landlord has leased the Premises to a succeeding tenant, then 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, and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.

ARTICLE 17 
 
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
Within fifteen (15) 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 in a commercially reasonable form as may be required by any prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Project (or any portion thereof), indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and shall also contain any other factual information reasonably requested by Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee or prospective mortgagee respecting the Lease.  Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever other commercially reasonable instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes.  Failure of Tenant to timely execute and deliver such estoppel certificate shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises and an acknowledgment by 

	
			
	071053\8589453v5 
	16
	 

	 

Tenant that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception.  Failure by Tenant to so deliver such estoppel certificate, which failure continues for five (5) days following notice of such failure, shall be a material default of the provisions of this Lease, and, in such event, , without waiving any other rights or remedies, Landlord may charge Tenant an administrative fee of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) for each day that Tenant is thereafter delinquent in delivering an estoppel certificate.  

ARTICLE 18 
 
SUBORDINATION
18.1    Subordination.  This Lease is subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Project and to the lien of any mortgages or trust deeds, now or hereafter in force against the Project, 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 ground lease or underlying leases, require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto.  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 (except as expressly provided in this Lease), 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.  Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days of request by Landlord, execute such further 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.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant’s obligation to subordinate its rights under this Lease to any future ground or underlying leases of the Project and to the lien of any mortgages or trust deeds which hereafter encumber the Premises, the Building or the Project shall be conditioned upon Tenant’s receipt of a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement from the holder of each such instrument.
18.2      Existing Agreement.  Tenant hereby acknowledges that as of the date on which Landlord and Tenant execute this Lease there is a deed of trust encumbering, and in force against, the Project in favor of the lender(s) set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto (the "Current Lender").  Promptly following Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant shall sign, notarize and deliver a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto ("SNDA").  If Landlord at any time during the Lease Term causes the Project to be encumbered by a new deed of trust or mortgage pursuant to which the beneficiary of such deed of trust or mortgage is a party or entity other than the Current Lender, and/or if any party which acquires, or otherwise succeeds to, Landlord's interest in the Project (including, without limitation, any ground lessee) encumbers or places a lien against the Project with a mortgage, deed of trust or similar security instrument and the beneficiary thereof requires this Lease to be subordinated to such encumbrance or lien, Landlord or the successor of Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Tenant a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord or such successor of Landlord, the subject beneficiary and Tenant.  If said SNDA is required and agreed upon by the aforesaid parties, Landlord or the successor of Landlord, the subject beneficiary and Tenant shall cause any such subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement to be executed, acknowledged and recorded concurrently with, or as soon as practicable after, the execution and recordation of any such lien, deed of trust or mortgage.  In addition to the foregoing, if Landlord enters into a ground lease with regard to the Project and such ground lessee requires this Lease to be subordinated to such ground lease, the ground lessee and ground lessor will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Tenant a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in form reasonably acceptable to such ground lessee, ground lessor, any beneficiary of ground lessee, and to Tenant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease and shall have no liability to Tenant whatsoever if Landlord is unable to obtain and deliver to Tenant a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement executed by the Current Lender or any subsequent lender, beneficiary under deed of trust or ground lessor.  Should Tenant have any requested changes to the SNDA attached to the initial draft of this Lease, Tenant covenants and agrees to pay all fees, costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the negotiation or issuance of the SNDA.

ARTICLE 19 
 
TENANT'S DEFAULTS; LANDLORD'S REMEDIES
19.1    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 Tenant's 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:
19.1.1    Any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or any other charge required to be paid under this Lease, or any part thereof, when due where such failure continues for three (3) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; 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
19.1.2    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; 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; and provided 

	
			
	071053\8589453v5 
	17
	 

	 

further 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; or
19.1.3    Abandonment of the Premises by Tenant as defined in the California Civil Code.
19.2    Landlord's 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.
19.2.1    Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter 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:
(i)    The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus
(ii)    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
(iii)    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
(iv)    Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's 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, including, without limitation, any rent abatement; and
(v)    At Landlord's 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 19.2 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 19.2.1(i) 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 19.2.1(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%).
19.2.2    Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee's 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.
19.2.3    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 Tenant's part to be observed or performed (and may enter the Premises for such purposes).  In the event of Tenant's 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 Landlord's rights and remedies as a result of Tenant's failure to perform and shall not release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease. 
19.3    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 Landlord's performance or cure of any of Tenant's obligations pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.2.3 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.  Tenant's obligations under this Section 19.3 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.
19.4    Sublessees of Tenant.  If Landlord terminates this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, as set forth in this Article 19, 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 Landlord's sole 

	
			
	071053\8589453v5 
	18
	 

	 

discretion, succeed to Tenant's interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements.  In the event of Landlord's election to succeed to Tenant's 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.
19.5    Waiver of Default.  No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach by Tenant 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 by Tenant 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.
19.6    Efforts to Relet.  For the purposes of this Article 19, Tenant's 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 Landlord's interests hereunder.  The foregoing enumeration is not exhaustive, but merely illustrative of acts which may be performed by Landlord without terminating Tenant's right to possession.

ARTICLE 20 
 
SECURITY DEPOSIT
Concurrent with Tenant's 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, 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 Tenant's default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's default.  If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within five (5) business days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount, and Tenant's 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 Landlord's option, to the last assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder, within forty-five (45) 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, and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter in force, which provide that Landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant or to clean the Premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage, foreseeable or unforeseeable, caused by the act or omission of Tenant or any officer, employee, agent or invitee of Tenant.

ARTICLE 21 
 
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 law, statute, ordinance or other governmental rule, regulation or requirement now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated (“Applicable Laws”).  At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with all such Applicable Laws, without limitation, the making of structural changes or changes to the Building's life safety system to the extent required due to Tenant's Alterations or Tenant’s particular manner of use of the Premises for other than general office use.  Landlord shall promptly comply with all other Applicable Laws relating to the Building and/or the Common Area of the Project. 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.  For purposes of Section 1938 of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, that the Premises have not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp).  A CASp can inspect the subject Premises and determine whether the subject 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 subject Premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject Premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or 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.  Tenant shall not conduct or arrange for any CASp inspection without first obtaining Landlord’s written consent of the scope of any inspection or report to be issued.

ARTICLE 22 
 
ENTRY BY LANDLORD
Landlord reserves the right at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to Tenant to enter the Premises upon at least twenty-four (24) hours advance notice to Tenant to:  (i) inspect them; (ii) show the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or tenants, or to the ground or underlying lessors; (iii) to 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.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 22, Landlord may enter the Premises at any time, without notice to Tenant, in emergency situations and/or to perform 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, however, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any unreasonable interference with Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises as a result of any entry by Landlord permitted under this Article 22.  Tenant hereby waives any claims for damages or for any injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's 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 Tenant's vaults, safes and special security areas designated in advance by Tenant.  In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to enter without notice and 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 23 
 
TENANT PARKING
Tenant may use the number of non-designated and non-exclusive parking spaces specified in Section 11 of the Summary.  Landlord shall exercise reasonable efforts to ensure that such spaces are available to Tenant for its use, but Landlord shall not be required to enforce Tenant's right to use the same.  Tenant shall not park or permit any parking of vehicles overnight.

ARTICLE 24 
 
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
24.1    Terms; Captions.  The necessary grammatical changes required to make the provisions hereof apply either to corporations or partnerships or individuals, men or women, as the case may require, shall in all cases be assumed as though in each case fully expressed.  The captions of Articles and Sections are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to limit, construe, affect or alter the meaning of such Articles and Sections.
24.2    Binding Effect.  Each of the provisions of this Lease shall extend to and shall, as the case may require, bind or inure to the benefit not only of Landlord and of Tenant, but also of their respective successors or assigns, provided this clause shall not permit any assignment by Tenant contrary to the provisions of Article 14 of this Lease.
24.3    No Waiver.  No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be implied by any failure of a party to enforce any remedy on account of the violation of such provision, even if such violation shall continue or be repeated subsequently, any waiver by a party of any provision of this Lease may only be in writing, and no express waiver shall affect any provision other than the one specified in such waiver and that one only for the time and in the manner specifically stated.  No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the Lease Term or of Tenant's right of possession hereunder or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or affect any notice given Tenant prior to the receipt of such monies, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment.
24.4    Modification of Lease; Financials.  Should any current or prospective mortgagee or ground lessor for the Project require a modification or modifications of this Lease, which modification or modifications will not cause an increased cost or expense to Tenant or in any other way materially and adversely change the rights and obligations of Tenant hereunder, then and in such event, Tenant agrees that this Lease may be so modified and agrees to execute whatever documents are reasonably required therefor and deliver the same to Landlord within fifteen (15) days following the request therefor.  Should Landlord or any such current or prospective mortgagee or ground lessor require execution of a short form of Lease for recording, containing, among other customary provisions, the names of the parties, a description of the Premises and the Lease Term, Tenant agrees to execute such short form of Lease and to deliver the same to Landlord within fifteen (15) days following the request therefor.  In addition, upon request from time to time, Tenant agrees to provide to Landlord, within fifteen (15) days of written request unless Tenant’s stock is then publicly traded on a national stock exchange based in the United States of America, current financial statements for Tenant, dated no earlier than one (1) year prior to such request, certified as accurate by Tenant or, if available, audited financial statements prepared by an independent certified public accountant with copies of the auditor's statement.  All such financial statements will be delivered to Landlord and any such lender or purchaser in confidence and shall only be used for purposes of evaluating the financial strength of Tenant or of Guarantor, as applicable.

24.5    Transfer of Landlord's Interest.  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has the right to transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Project, the Building and/or in this Lease, and Tenant agrees that in the event of any such transfer, Landlord shall automatically be released from all liability under this Lease and Tenant agrees to look solely to such transferee for the performance of Landlord's obligations hereunder after the date of transfer.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is acknowledged and agreed that the liability of Landlord under this Lease is limited to matters accruing during its actual period of ownership of title to the Building.  The liability of any transferee of Landlord shall be limited to the interest of such transferee in the Building 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.  Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord may assign its interest in this Lease to a mortgage lender as additional security and agrees that such an assignment shall not release Landlord from its obligations hereunder and that Tenant shall continue to look to Landlord for the performance of its obligations hereunder.
24.6    Prohibition Against Recording.  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 Landlord's election.  This section is not applicable to securities law notice and reporting requirements.  
24.7    Landlord's Title; Air Rights.  Landlord's title is and always shall be paramount to the title of Tenant.  Nothing herein contained shall empower Tenant to do any act which can, shall or may encumber the title of Landlord.  No rights to any view or to light or air over any property, whether belonging to Landlord or any other person, are granted to Tenant by this Lease.
24.8    Tenant's Signs.  Subject to the approval of all applicable governmental entities, Landlord, and subject to all applicable governmental laws, rules, regulations and codes, Tenant shall have the exclusive right to have Tenant's name and logo (but no other markings) displayed on the existing monument sign for the Building (the "Signage Monument").  Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant's sole cost, for all costs attributable to the insurance, lighting (if applicable), maintenance and repair of the Signage Monument.  The signage rights granted to Tenant under this Section 24.8 are personal to the Tenant named herein and any Permitted Transferee, and may not be otherwise assigned or exercised by or to, or used by, any person or entity other than the Tenant named herein (and any Permitted Transferee).  Upon termination or expiration of this Lease, or upon the earlier termination of Tenant's signage rights under this Section 24.8, Landlord shall have the right to permanently remove Tenant's name from the Signage Monument and to restore and repair all damage to the Signage Monument resulting from such removal, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after demand, all costs incurred in connection with such removal, restoration and repair.  The location, quality, design, style, lighting and size of such signs shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval, in its reasonable discretion.  Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for the removal of such signage and the repair of all damage to the Building caused by such removal.  Except as set forth in Section 24.8.1 below, Tenant may not install any signs on the exterior or roof of the Building, the Other Existing Building or the Common Areas.  Any signs, window coverings, or blinds (even if the same are located behind the Landlord approved window coverings for the Building), or other items visible from the exterior of the Building are subject to the prior approval of Landlord, in its reasonable discretion.
24.8.1    Building Exterior Sign. Subject to the approval of all applicable governmental authorities and Landlord, and compliance with all applicable governmental laws and ordinances, all recorded covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Building and/or Project, and the terms of this Section 24.8.1, Tenant shall have the exclusive right to install, at Tenant's cost, Tenant identification signage, but no other markings, on the exterior of the Building in up to three (3) locations reasonably approved by Landlord (the "Building Exterior Sign").  Tenant shall pay for all costs and expenses related to the Building Exterior Sign, including, without limitation, costs of the construction, installation, maintenance, insurance, utilities, repair and replacement thereof.  Tenant shall maintain the Building Exterior Sign in compliance with all laws and subject to the applicable provisions of Articles 7 and 8 above.
24.8.1.1    Transferability.  The rights to the Building Exterior Sign are personal to the original Tenant executing this Lease and any Permitted Transferee (hereafter "Original Tenant") and may not be otherwise transferred by the Tenant or used by anyone else.
24.8.1.2    Insurance/Maintenance/Removal.  Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for (i) maintaining insurance on the Building Exterior Sign as part of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to Article 10 above, and (ii) the repair, maintenance and replacement, in first-class order and condition, of the Building Exterior Sign.  Should Tenant fail to perform such maintenance, repairs and/or replacement, Landlord may, but need not, perform such maintenance, repairs and/or replacements, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof, including a percentage of the cost thereof sufficient to reimburse Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses arising from Landlord's involvement with such maintenance, repairs and/or replacements forthwith within thirty (30) days of being billed for same.  Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (or prior to such expiration or earlier termination, upon Tenant's loss of its rights to the Building Exterior Sign pursuant to Section 24.8.1.1 above), Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, cause to be removed the Building Exterior Sign, and Tenant shall repair all damage occasioned thereby and restore the portion of the Building and/or Project where the Building Exterior Sign was located to its original condition prior to the installation thereof.  If Tenant fails to timely remove the Building Exterior Sign and repair and restore the Building and/or Project as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord may perform such work, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in so performing such work shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of invoice therefor.  The immediately preceding sentence shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

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 Tenant's designation of such payments, to satisfy any obligations of Tenant hereunder, in such order and amounts as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may elect.

24.12    Partial Invalidity.  If any term, provision or condition contained in this Lease shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term, provision or condition to persons or circumstances other than those with respect to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each and every other term, provision and condition of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent possible permitted by law.
24.13    No Warranty.  In executing and delivering this Lease, Tenant has not relied on any representation, including, but not limited to, any representation whatsoever as to the amount of any item comprising Additional Rent or the amount of the Additional Rent in the aggregate or that Landlord is furnishing the same services to other tenants, at all, on the same level or on the same basis, or any warranty or any statement of Landlord which is not set forth herein or in one or more of the Exhibits attached hereto.
24.14    Landlord Exculpation.  It is expressly understood and agreed that notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, and notwithstanding any applicable law to the contrary, the liability of Landlord and the Landlord Parties hereunder (including any successor landlord) and any recourse by Tenant against Landlord or the Landlord Parties shall be limited solely and exclusively to an amount which is equal to the ownership interest of Landlord in the Building (including any rents, profits and proceeds thereof), and neither Landlord, nor any of the Landlord Parties shall have any personal liability therefor, and Tenant hereby expressly waives and releases such personal liability on behalf of itself and all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant.
24.15    Entire Agreement.  It is understood and acknowledged that there are no oral agreements between the parties hereto affecting this Lease and this Lease supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any, between the parties hereto or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject matter thereof, and none thereof shall be used to interpret or construe this Lease.  This Lease and any side letter or separate agreement executed by Landlord and Tenant in connection with this Lease and dated of even date herewith contain all of the terms, covenants, conditions, warranties and agreements of the parties relating in any manner to the rental, use and occupancy of the Premises, shall be considered to be the only agreement between the parties hereto and their representatives and agents, and none of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease can be modified, deleted or added to except in writing signed by the parties hereto.  All negotiations and oral agreements acceptable to both parties have been merged into and are included herein.  There are no other representations or warranties between the parties, and all reliance with respect to representations is based totally upon the representations and agreements contained in this Lease.
24.16    Right to Lease.  Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such other tenancies in the Building, the Other Existing Building and/or in any other buildings and/or any other portions of the Project as Landlord in the exercise of its sole business judgment shall determine to best promote the interests of the Project.  Tenant does not rely on the fact, nor does Landlord represent, that any specific tenant or type or number of tenants shall, during the Lease Term, occupy any space in the Building, the Other Existing Building or Project.
24.17    Force Majeure.  Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, inability to obtain services, labor, or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental actions, civil commotions, fire or other casualty, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, except with respect to the obligations imposed with regard to Rent and other charges to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease and except with respect to Tenant's obligations under the Tenant Work Letter (collectively, the "Force Majeure"), notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, shall excuse the performance of such party for a period equal to any such prevention, delay or stoppage and, therefore, if this Lease specifies a time period for performance of an obligation of either party, that time period shall be extended by the period of any delay in such party's performance caused by a Force Majeure.
24.18    Waiver of Redemption by Tenant.  Tenant hereby waives for Tenant and for all those claiming under Tenant all right now or hereafter existing to redeem by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, Tenant's right of occupancy of the Premises after any termination of this Lease.
24.19    Notices.  All notices, demands, statements or communications (collectively, "Notices") given or required to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall be in writing, shall be sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or delivered personally (i) to Tenant at the appropriate address set forth in Section 5 of the Summary, or to such other place as Tenant may from time to time designate in a Notice to Landlord; or (ii) to Landlord at the addresses set forth in Section 3 of the Summary, or to such other firm or to such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in a Notice to Tenant.  Any Notice will be deemed given on the date it is mailed as provided in this Section 24.19 or upon the date personal delivery is made.  If Tenant 

	
			
	071053\8589453v5 
	22
	 

	 

is notified of the identity and address of Landlord's mortgagee or ground or underlying lessor, Tenant shall give to such mortgagee or ground or underlying lessor written notice of any default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease by registered or certified mail, and such mortgagee or ground or underlying lessor shall be given a reasonable opportunity to cure such default prior to Tenant's exercising any remedy available to Tenant.
24.20    Joint and Several.  If there is more than one Tenant, the obligations imposed upon Tenant under this Lease shall be joint and several.
24.21    Authority.  If Tenant is a corporation or partnership, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant hereby represents and warrants that Tenant is a duly formed and existing entity qualified to do business in the state in which the Project is located and that Tenant has full right and authority to execute and deliver this Lease and that each person signing on behalf of Tenant is authorized to do so.  Tenant confirms that it is not in violation of any executive order or similar governmental regulation or law, which prohibits terrorism or transactions with suspected or confirmed terrorists or terrorist entities or with persons or organizations that are associated with, or that provide any form of support to, terrorists.  Tenant further confirms that it will comply throughout the Term of this Lease, with all governmental laws, rules or regulations governing transactions or business dealings with any suspected or confirmed terrorists or terrorist entities, as identified from time to time by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control or any other applicable governmental entity.
24.22    Jury Trial; Attorneys' Fees.  IF EITHER PARTY COMMENCES LITIGATION AGAINST THE OTHER FOR THE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THIS LEASE, FOR DAMAGES FOR THE BREACH HEREOF OR OTHERWISE FOR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY REMEDY HEREUNDER, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE TO AND HEREBY DO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.  In the event of any such commencement of litigation, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party such costs and reasonable attorneys' fees as may have been incurred, including any and all costs incurred in enforcing, perfecting and executing such judgment.
24.23    Governing Law.  This Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Project is located.
24.24    Submission of Lease.  Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or an option for lease, and it is not effective as a lease or otherwise until execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant and Landlord's lender holding a lien with respect to the Building has approved this Lease and the terms and conditions hereof.
24.25    Brokers.  Landlord and Tenant hereby warrant to each other that they have had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Lease, excepting only the real estate brokers or agents specified in Section 12 of the Summary (the "Brokers"), and that they know of no other real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with this Lease.  Each party agrees to indemnify and defend the other party against and hold the other party harmless from any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, and costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of the indemnifying party's dealings with any real estate broker or agent other than the Brokers.  Tenant further represents and warrants to Landlord that Tenant will not receive (i) any portion of any potential brokerage commission or finder's fee payable to the Broker in connection with this Lease, or (ii) any other form of compensation or incentive from the Broker with respect to this transaction.
24.26    Independent Covenants.  This Lease shall be construed as though the covenants herein between Landlord and Tenant are independent and not dependent and Tenant hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute to the contrary and agrees that if Landlord fails to perform its obligations set forth herein, Tenant shall not be entitled to make any repairs or perform any acts hereunder at Landlord's expense or to any setoff of the Rent or other amounts owing hereunder against Landlord; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way impair the right of Tenant to commence a separate action against Landlord for any violation by Landlord of the provisions hereof so long as notice is first given to Landlord and any holder of a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Building, Project or any portion thereof, of whose address Tenant has theretofore been notified, and an opportunity is granted to Landlord and such holder to correct such violations as provided above.
24.27    Building Name and Signage.  Landlord shall have the right at any time to change the name of the Other Existing Building and/or Project (but shall not name or change the name of the Building) and to install, affix and maintain any and all signs on the exterior of the Other Existing Building and/or Project and any portion of the Project as Landlord may, in Landlord's sole discretion, desire.  Tenant shall not use the names of the Other Existing Building and/or Project or use pictures or illustrations of the Other Existing Building and/or Project in advertising or other publicity, without the prior written consent of Landlord.
24.28    Approvals.  Whenever the Lease requires an approval, consent, determination, selection or judgment by either Landlord or Tenant, unless another standard is expressly set forth, such approval, consent, determination, selection or judgment and any conditions imposed thereby shall be reasonable and shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and, in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, each party shall at all times act reasonably and in good faith.
24.29    Landlord's Construction.  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, the Other Existing Building, Project, or any part thereof and that no representations or warranties respecting the condition of the Premises, the Building, the Other Existing Building, and/or Project have been made by Landlord to Tenant, except as 

	
			
	071053\8589453v5 
	23
	 

	 

specifically set forth in this Lease.  However, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may from time to time, at Landlord's sole option, renovate, improve, alter, or modify (collectively, the "Renovations") the Building, Premises, the Other Existing Building, and/or Project, including without limitation the Parking Facilities, 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, and (ii) installing new carpeting, lighting, and 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, the Other Existing Building and/or Project, limit or eliminate access to portions of the Project, including portions of the Common Areas, or perform work in the Building, the Other Existing Building and/or Project, which work may create noise, dust or leave debris in the Building, the Other Existing Building and/or Project.  Tenant hereby agrees that such Renovations and Landlord's actions in connection with such Renovations shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent.  Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the Renovations, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant's personal property or improvements resulting from the Renovations or Landlord's actions in connection with such Renovations, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Renovations or Landlord's actions in connection with such Renovations.  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any unreasonable interference with Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises as a result of any Renovations by Landlord permitted under this Section 24.29.
24.30    Financing Contingency.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the effectiveness of this Lease is expressly conditioned and contingent on Landlord's receipt of written approval of the Lease from its lenders.  Landlord shall diligently pursue such approvals but Landlord shall not be subject to any liability in the event Landlord is unable to obtain all such approvals.

EXHIBIT B
TENANT WORK LETTER
This Work Letter ("Work Letter") sets forth the terms and conditions relating to the construction of improvements for the Premises.  All references in this Work Letter to the "Lease" shall mean the relevant portions of the Lease to which this Work Letter is attached as Exhibit B.
SECTION 1 
BASE, SHELL AND CORE
Tenant hereby accepts the base, shell and core (i) of the Premises and (ii) of the floor(s) of the Building on which the Premises are located (collectively, the “Base, Shell and Core”), in its current “AS-IS” condition existing as of the date of the Lease and the Lease Commencement Date.  Except for the Tenant Improvement Allowance set forth below, Landlord shall not be obligated to make or pay for any alterations or improvements to the Premises, the Building, the Project or the Real Property.
SECTION 2 
TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
2.1    Tenant Improvement Allowance.  Tenant shall be entitled to a one-time tenant improvement allowance (the "Tenant Improvement Allowance") in the amount of up to, but not exceeding $12.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises (i.e., up to $1,010,496.00, based on 84,208 rentable square feet in the Premises), for the costs relating to the initial design and construction of Tenant's improvements which are permanently affixed to the Premises (the "Tenant Improvements").  In no event shall Landlord be obligated to make disbursements pursuant to this Work Letter in a total amount which exceeds the Tenant Improvement Allowance.  Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any cash payment or credit against Rent or otherwise for any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance which is not used to pay for the Tenant Improvement Allowance Items (as such term is defined below).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, following completion of the Tenant Improvements, in the event a portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance remains unused, then up to $252,624.00 (i.e., 25% of the Tenant Improvement Allowance) of such unused portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance may be utilized by Tenant for furniture, fixtures, equipment, moving expenses, and telecommunications or other cabling.
2.2    Disbursement of the Tenant Improvement Allowance.  Except as otherwise set forth in this Work Letter, the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be disbursed by Landlord (each of which disbursement shall be made pursuant to Landlord's standard disbursement process), only for the following items and costs (collectively, the "Tenant Improvement Allowance Items"):
2.2.1    payment of the fees of the "Architect" and the "Engineers", as those terms are defined in Section 3.1 of this Work Letter, and payment of the fees incurred by, and the cost of documents and materials supplied by, Landlord and Landlord's consultants in connection with the preparation and review of the "Construction Drawings", as that term is defined in Section 3.1 of this Work Letter;
2.2.2    the payment of plan check, permit and license fees relating to construction of the Tenant Improvements;
2.2.3    the cost of construction of the Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation, contractors' fees and general conditions, testing and inspection costs, costs of utilities, trash removal, parking and hoists, and the costs of after-hours freight elevator usage;
2.2.4    the cost of any changes in the Base, Shell and Core when such changes are required by the Construction Drawings (including if such changes are due to the fact that such work is prepared on an unoccupied basis), such cost to include all direct architectural and/or engineering fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith;
2.2.5    the cost of any changes to the Construction Drawings or Tenant Improvements required by Code or any other applicable laws; 
2.2.6    sales and use taxes and Title 24 fees;
2.2.7    the costs and expenses associated with complying with all national, state and local codes, including California Energy Code, Title 24, including, without limitation, all costs associated with any lighting or HVAC retrofits required thereby;
2.2.8    the "Landlord Supervision Fee", as that term is defined in Section 4.3.2 of this Work Letter; and
2.2.9    all other costs to be expended by Landlord in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements.

2.3    Specifications for Building Standard Components.  Landlord has established specifications (the "Specifications") for the Building standard components to be used in the construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises, which Specifications have been received by Tenant.  Unless otherwise agreed to by Landlord, the Tenant Improvements shall comply with the Specifications.  Landlord may make changes to the Specifications from time to time.
SECTION 3 
CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS
3.1    Selection of Architect/Construction Drawings.  Landlord shall retain an architect/space planner (the "Architect") to prepare the "Construction Drawings", as that term is defined in this Section 3.1.  Landlord shall retain Landlord's engineering consultants (the "Engineers") to prepare all plans and engineering working drawings relating to the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, lifesafety, and sprinkler work in the Premises.  The plans and drawings to be prepared by Architect and the Engineers hereunder shall be known collectively as the "Construction Drawings".  Notwithstanding that any Construction Drawings are reviewed by Landlord or prepared by its Architect, Engineers and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord's 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.
3.2    Final Space Plan.  Within five (5) business days of the full execution and delivery of the Lease by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall meet with Landlord's Architect and provide Landlord's Architect with information regarding the preliminary layout and designation of all proposed offices, rooms and other partitioning, and their intended use and equipment to be contained therein (the "Information").  Landlord and Architect shall, based on such Information (subject to changes reasonably required by Landlord), prepare the final space plan for Tenant Improvements in the Premises (collectively, the "Final Space Plan"), which Final Space Plan shall include a layout and designation of all offices, rooms and other partitioning, their intended use, and equipment to be contained therein, and shall deliver the Final Space Plan to Tenant for Tenant's approval.  Tenant shall approve or reasonably disapprove the Final Space Plan or any revisions thereto within five (5) business days after Landlord delivers the Final Space Plan or such revisions to Tenant; provided, however, that Tenant may only disapprove the Final Space Plan to the extent the same is not (subject to changes reasonably required by Landlord) in substantial conformance with the Information provided by Tenant to Architect ("Space Plan Design Problem").  Tenant's failure to disapprove the Final Space Plan for any Space Plan Design Problem or any revisions thereto by written notice to Landlord (which notice shall specify in detail the reasonable reasons for Tenant's disapproval pertaining to any Space Plan Design Problem) within said five (5) business day period shall be deemed to constitute Tenant's approval of the Final Space Plan or such revisions.
3.3    Final Working Drawings.  Based on the Final Space Plan, Landlord shall cause the Architect and the Engineers to complete the architectural and engineering drawings for the Premises, and Architect shall compile a fully coordinated set of architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing working drawings in a form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work and to obtain all applicable permits (collectively, the "Final Working Drawings") and shall submit the same to Tenant for Tenant's approval.  The Final Working Drawings shall incorporate modifications to the Final Space Plan as necessary to comply with the floor load and other structural and system requirements of the Building.  To the extent that the finishes and specifications are not completely set forth in the Final Space Plan for any portion of the Tenant Improvements depicted thereon, the actual specifications and finish work shall be in accordance with the Specifications.  Tenant shall approve or reasonably disapprove the Final Working Drawings or any revisions thereto within five (5) business days after Landlord delivers the Final Working Drawings or any revisions thereto to Tenant; provided, however, that Tenant may only disapprove the Final Working Drawings to the extent the same are not (subject to changes reasonably required by Landlord) in substantial conformance with the Final Space Plan ("Working Drawing Design Problem").  Tenant's failure to reasonably disapprove the Final Working Drawings or any revisions thereto by written notice to Landlord (which notice shall specify in detail the reasonable reasons for Tenant's disapproval pertaining to any Working Drawing Design Problem) within said five (5) business day period shall be deemed to constitute Tenant's approval of the Final Working Drawings or such revisions.
3.4    Approved Working Drawings.  The Final Working Drawings shall be approved or deemed approved by Tenant (the "Approved Working Drawings") prior to the commencement of the construction of the Tenant Improvements.  Landlord shall cause the Architect to submit the Approved Working Drawing to the applicable local governmental agency for all applicable building permits necessary to allow "Contractor", as that term is defined in Section 4.1 of this Work Letter, to commence and fully complete the construction of the Tenant Improvements (the "Permits").  No changes, modifications or alterations in the Approved Working Drawings may be made without the prior written consent of Landlord, provided that Landlord may withhold its consent, in its sole discretion, to any change in the Approved Working Drawings, if such change would directly or indirectly delay the Substantial Completion of the Premises (unless Tenant agrees in writing that any such delays resulting from the changes and requested changes constitute Tenant Delays).
3.5    Time Deadlines.  Tenant shall use its best efforts to cooperate with Architect, the Engineers, and Landlord to complete all phases of the Construction Drawings and the permitting process and to receive the Permits, and with Contractor, for approval of the "Cost Proposal", as that term is defined in Section 4.2 below as soon as possible after the execution of the Lease and, in this regard, to the extent Landlord considers such meeting(s) to be reasonably necessary, Tenant shall meet with Landlord on a weekly basis to discuss Tenant's progress in connection with the same.

SECTION 4 
CONSTRUCTION OF THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
4.1    Contractor.  Landlord shall select and retain a general contractor to construct the Tenant Improvements in Landlord’s sole discretion.  Landlord shall deliver to Tenant notice of its selection of the contractor upon such selection, which contractor shall thereafter be the "Contractor" hereunder.  
4.2    Cost Proposal.  After the Approved Working Drawings are signed by Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a cost proposal in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings, which cost proposal shall include, as nearly as possible, the cost of all Tenant Improvement Allowance Items to be incurred by Tenant in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements (the "Cost Proposal").  Notwithstanding the foregoing, portions of the cost of the Tenant Improvements may be delivered to Tenant as such portions of the Tenant Improvements are priced by Contractor (on an individual item-by-item or trade-by-trade basis), even before the Approved Working Drawings are completed (the "Partial Cost Proposal").  Tenant shall approve and deliver the Cost Proposal to Landlord within five (5) business days of the receipt of the same (or, as to a Partial Cost Proposal, within two (2) business days of receipt of the same).  The date by which Tenant must approve and deliver the Cost Proposal, or the last Partial Cost Proposal to Landlord, as the case may be, shall be known hereafter as the "Cost Proposal Delivery Date".  The total of all Partial Cost Proposals, if any, shall be known as the Cost Proposal.  
4.3    Construction of Tenant Improvements by Landlord's Contractor under the Supervision of Landlord.
4.3.1    Over-Allowance Amount.  On the Cost Proposal Delivery Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord cash in an amount (the "Over-Allowance Amount") equal to the difference between (i) the amount of the Cost Proposal and (ii) the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (less any portion thereof already disbursed by Landlord, or in the process of being disbursed by Landlord, on or before the Cost Proposal Delivery Date).  The Over-Allowance Amount shall be disbursed by Landlord prior to the disbursement of any then remaining portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, and such disbursement shall be pursuant to the same procedure as the Tenant Improvement Allowance.  In the event that, after the Cost Proposal Date, any revisions, changes, or substitutions shall be made to the Construction Drawings or the Tenant Improvements, any additional costs which arise in connection with such revisions, changes or substitutions shall be added to the Cost Proposal and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord immediately upon Landlord's request to the extent such additional costs increase any existing Over-Allowance Amount or result in an Over-Allowance Amount.  Following completion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a final cost statement which shall indicate the final costs of the Tenant Improvement Allowance Items, and if such cost statement indicates that Tenant has underpaid or overpaid the Over-Allowance Amount, then within ten (10) business days after receipt of such statement, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the amount of such underpayment or Landlord shall return to Tenant the amount of such overpayment, as the case may be.
4.3.2    Landlord Supervision.  After Landlord selects the Contractor, Landlord shall independently retain Contractor to construct the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings and the Cost Proposal and Landlord shall supervise the construction by Contractor, and Tenant shall pay a construction supervision and management fee (the "Landlord Supervision Fee") to Landlord in an amount equal to the product of (i) five percent (5%) and (ii) an amount equal to the Tenant Improvement Allowance plus the Over-Allowance Amount (as such Over-Allowance Amount may increase pursuant to the terms of this Work Letter).  
4.3.3    Contractor's Warranties and Guarantees.  Landlord shall cause the Contractor performing the Tenant Improvements to warrant that the Tenant Improvements will be free from any defects for a period of one year following completion.  Landlord hereby assigns to Tenant all warranties and guarantees by Contractor relating to the Tenant Improvements, which assignment shall be on a non‐exclusive basis such that the warranties and guarantees may be enforced by Landlord and/or Tenant, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord relating to, or arising out of the construction of, the Tenant Improvements.
SECTION 5 
SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION; LEASE COMMENCEMENT DATE
5.1    Substantial Completion.  For purposes of the Lease, including for purposes of determining the Lease Commencement Date (as set forth in Section 7.2 of the Summary), the Premises shall be "Ready for Occupancy" upon Substantial Completion of the Premises.  For purposes of the Lease, "Substantial Completion" of the Premises shall occur upon (i) the completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises pursuant to the Approved Working Drawings, with the exception of any punchlist items and any tenant fixtures, work-stations, built-in furniture, or equipment to be installed by Tenant or under the supervision of Contractor, and (ii) Landlord has obtained from the appropriate governmental authority a temporary, conditional or final certificate of occupancy or signed building permit (or equivalent), if one is required, for the Tenant Improvements permitting occupancy of the Premises by Tenant.
5.2    Tenant Delays.  If there shall be a delay or there are delays in the Substantial Completion of the Premises as a direct, indirect, partial, or total result of any of the following (collectively, "Tenant Delays"):
5.2.1    Tenant's failure to timely approve any matter requiring Tenant's approval, including a Partial Cost Proposal or the Cost Proposal and/or Tenant's failure to timely perform any other obligation or act required of Tenant hereunder;

	
			
	071053\8589453v5 
	3
	 

	 

5.2.2    a breach by Tenant of the terms of this Work Letter or the Lease (including, without limitation, any anticipatory breach by Tenant described in Section 6.5 below);
5.2.3    Tenant's request for changes in the Construction Drawings;
5.2.4    Tenant's requirement for materials, components, finishes or improvements which are not available in a reasonable time (based upon the anticipated date of the Lease Commencement Date) or which are different from, or not included in, the Specifications;
5.2.5    changes to the Base, Shell and Core required by the Approved Working Drawings; 
5.2.6    any changes in the Construction Drawings and/or the Tenant Improvements required by (i) applicable laws if such changes are directly attributable to Tenant's use of the Premises or Tenant's specialized tenant improvement(s) (as reasonably determined by Landlord), and/or (ii) Landlord pursuant to Section 4.2 above; or
5.2.7    any other acts or omissions of Tenant, or its agents, or employees;

then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease and regardless of the actual date of the Substantial Completion of the Premises, the Lease Commencement Date (as set forth in Section 7.2 of the Summary) shall be deemed to be the date the Lease Commencement Date would have occurred if no Tenant Delay or Delays, as set forth above, had occurred.
SECTION 6 
MISCELLANEOUS
6.1    Tenant's Entry Into the Premises Prior to Substantial Completion.  Subject to the terms hereof and provided that Tenant and its agents do not interfere with, or delay, Contractor's work in the Building and the Premises, at Landlord's reasonable discretion, Contractor shall allow Tenant access to the Premises prior to the Substantial Completion of the Premises for the purpose of Tenant installing Tenant’s furniture, fixtures and equipment (including Tenant's data and telephone equipment) and otherwise readying the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy.  Prior to Tenant's entry into the Premises as permitted by the terms of this Section 6.1, Tenant shall submit a schedule to Landlord and Contractor, for their approval, which schedule shall detail the timing and purpose of Tenant's entry.  In connection with any such entry, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant's employees, agents, contractors, consultants, workmen, mechanics, suppliers and invitees shall fully cooperate, work in harmony and not, in any manner, interfere with Landlord or Landlord's Contractor, agents or representatives in performing work in the Project, the Building and the Premises, or interfere with the general operation of the Building and/or the Project.  If at any time any such person representing Tenant shall not be cooperative or shall otherwise cause or threaten to cause any such disharmony or interference, including, without limitation, labor disharmony, and Tenant fails to immediately institute and maintain corrective actions as directed by Landlord, then Landlord may revoke Tenant's entry rights upon twenty-four (24) hours' prior written notice to Tenant.  Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any such entry into and occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof by Tenant or any person or entity working for or on behalf of Tenant shall be deemed to be subject to all of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the Lease, excluding only the covenant to pay Rent (until the occurrence of the Lease Commencement Date).  Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any injury, loss or damage which may occur to any of Tenant's work made in or about the Premises in connection with such entry or to any property placed therein prior to the Lease Commencement Date, the same being at Tenant's sole risk and liability.  Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any damage to any portion of the Premises, including the Tenant Improvement work, caused by Tenant or any of Tenant's employees, agents, contractors, consultants, workmen, mechanics, suppliers and invitees.  In the event that the performance of Tenant's work in connection with such entry causes extra costs to be incurred by Landlord or requires the use of any Building services, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for such extra costs and/or shall pay Landlord for such Building services at Landlord's standard rates then in effect.  In addition, Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from and indemnify, protect and defend Landlord against any loss or damage to the Building or Premises and against injury to any persons caused by Tenant's actions pursuant to this Section 6.1.
6.2    Tenant's Representative.  Tenant has designated _________________________ as its sole representative with respect to the matters set forth in this Work Letter, who shall have full authority and responsibility to act on behalf of the Tenant as required in this Work Letter.
6.3    Landlord's Representative.  Landlord has designated Vanessa Reyes as its sole representative with respect to the matters set forth in this Work Letter, who, until further notice to Tenant, shall have full authority and responsibility to act on behalf of the Landlord as required in this Work Letter.
6.4    Time of the Essence in This Work Letter.  Unless otherwise indicated, all references herein to a "number of days" shall mean and refer to calendar days.  In all instances where Tenant is required to approve or deliver an item, if no written notice of approval is given or the item is not delivered within the stated time period, at Landlord's sole option, at the end of said period the item shall automatically be deemed approved or delivered by Tenant and the next succeeding time period shall commence.
6.5    Tenant's Lease Default.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Lease, if an event of default by Tenant as described in Section 19.1 of the Lease or any default by Tenant under this Work Letter (which, for purposes hereof, shall include, without limitation, the delivery by Tenant to Landlord of any oral or written 

	
			
	071053\8589453v5

notice instructing Landlord to cease the design and/or construction of the Tenant Improvements and/or that Tenant does not intend to occupy the Premises, and/or any other anticipatory breach of the Lease) has occurred at any time on or before the Substantial Completion of the Premises, then (i) in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to Landlord pursuant to the Lease, at law and/or in equity, Landlord shall have the right to withhold payment of all or any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance and/or Landlord may cause Contractor to cease the construction of the Premises (in which case, Tenant shall be responsible for any delay in the Substantial Completion of the Premises caused by such work stoppage as set forth in Section 5.2 of this Work Letter), and (ii) all other obligations of Landlord under the terms of this Work Letter shall be forgiven until such time as such default is cured pursuant to the terms of the Lease (in which case, Tenant shall be responsible for any delay in the Substantial Completion of the Premises caused by such inaction by Landlord).  In addition, if the Lease is terminated prior to the Lease Commencement Date, for any reason due to a default by Tenant as described in Section 19.1 of the Lease or under this Work Letter (including, without limitation, any anticipatory breach described above in this Section 6.5), then (A) Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all damages available to Landlord pursuant to the Lease and otherwise available to Landlord at law and/or in equity by reason of a default by Tenant under the Lease or this Work Letter (including, without limitation, the remedies available to Landlord pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.2), and (B) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent under the Lease, within five (5) days of receipt of a statement therefor, any and all costs incurred by Landlord (including any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance disbursed by Landlord) and not reimbursed or otherwise paid by Tenant through the date of such termination in connection with the Tenant Improvements to the extent planned, installed and/or constructed as of such date of termination, including, but not limited to, any costs related to the removal of all or any portion of the Tenant Improvements and restoration costs related thereto.  For purposes of calculating the damages available to Landlord under California Civil Code 1951.2, the Lease Commencement Date shall be deemed to be the date which the Lease Commencement Date would have otherwise occurred but for such default by Tenant.
6.6    Termination.  Notwithstanding anything in the Lease (including this Work Letter) to the contrary, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall  have the right to terminate the Lease by giving Tenant written notice of the exercise of such option (in which event the Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such notice) in the event Landlord is unable to obtain the Permits for the Tenant Improvements within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the full execution and delivery of the Lease by Landlord and Tenant.  Upon such termination, the parties shall be relieved of all further obligations under the Lease except for those obligations under the Lease which expressly survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease.

If any of the parking spaces are at any time used: (i) for any purpose other than parking as provided above; (ii) in any way or manner reasonably objectionable to Landlord; or (iii) by Tenant after default by Tenant under the Lease, Landlord, in addition to any other rights otherwise available to Landlord, may consider such default an event of default under the Lease.
(x)    Tenant's right to use the Parking Facilities will be in common with other tenants of the Project and with other parties permitted by Landlord to use the Parking Facilities.  Landlord reserves the right to assign and reassign, from time to time, particular parking spaces for use by persons selected by Landlord, provided that Tenant's rights under the Lease are preserved.  Landlord will not be liable to Tenant for any unavailability of Tenant's designated spaces, if any, nor will any unavailability entitle Tenant to any refund, deduction, or allowance.  Tenant will not park in any numbered space or any space designated as:  RESERVED, HANDICAPPED, VISITORS ONLY, or LIMITED TIME PARKING (or similar designation).
(xi)    If the Parking Facilities are damaged or destroyed, or if the use of the Parking Facilities is limited or prohibited by any governmental authority, or the use or operation of the Parking Facilities is limited or prevented by strikes or other labor difficulties or other causes beyond Landlord's control, Tenant's inability to use the parking spaces will not subject Landlord or any operator of the Parking Facilities to any liability to Tenant and will not relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under the Lease and the Lease will remain in full force and effect.  Tenant will pay to Landlord upon demand, and subject to Section 10.4, Tenant shall be responsible for any damage to the Parking Facilities, or any equipment, fixtures, or signs used in connection with the Parking Facilities and any adjoining buildings or structures that is caused by Tenant or any of its agents.
(xii)    Tenant has no right to assign or sublicense any of its rights in the parking passes, except as part of a permitted assignment or sublease of the Lease; however, Tenant may allocate the parking passes among its employees.
(xiii)    Tenant shall be responsible for the observance of all of the foregoing rules by Tenant's employees, agents, clients, customers, invitees or guests.  Landlord may waive any one or more of these Rules and Regulations for the benefit of any particular tenant or tenants, but no such waiver by Landlord shall be construed as a waiver of such Rules and Regulations in favor of any other tenant or tenants, nor prevent Landlord from thereafter enforcing any such Rules or Regulations against any or all tenants of the Building and/or Real Property.  Landlord reserves the right at any time to change or rescind any one or more of these Rules and Regulations, or to make such other and further reasonable Rules and Regulations as in Landlord's judgment may from time to time be necessary for the management, safety, care and cleanliness of the Premises, Building and Real Property, and for the preservation of good order therein, as well as for the convenience of other occupants and tenants therein.  Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant or to any other person for the nonobservance of the Rules and Regulations by another tenant or other person.  Tenant shall be deemed to have read these Rules and Regulations and to have agreed to abide by them as a condition of its occupancy of the Premises.

E.    Tenant and Lender desire to agree upon the relative priorities of their interests in the Property and their rights and obligations if certain events occur.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and sufficient consideration, Tenant and Lender agree:

Foreclosure Event.  A “Foreclosure Event” means:  (i) foreclosure under the Mortgage; (ii) any other exercise by Lender of rights and remedies (whether under the Mortgage or under applicable law, including bankruptcy law) as holder of the Loan and/or the Mortgage, as a result of which a Successor Landlord becomes owner of the Property; or (iii) delivery by Landlord to Lender (or its designee or nominee) of a deed or other conveyance of Landlord’s interest in the Property in lieu of any of the foregoing.
Former Landlord.  A “Former Landlord” means Landlord and any other party that was landlord under the Lease at any time before the occurrence of any attornment under this Agreement.

Termination Right.  A “Termination Right” means any right of Tenant to cancel or terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction arising (whether under the Lease or under applicable law) from Landlord’s breach or default under the Lease; provided, however, that Termination Right shall not include the exercise of any express contractual rights under the Lease, including those relating to any fire, casualty or condemnation..
Other Capitalized Terms.  If any capitalized term is used in this Agreement and no separate definition is contained in this Agreement, then such term shall have the same respective definition as set forth in the Lease.
Subordination.  The Lease, as the same may hereafter be modified, amended or extended,  shall be, and shall at all times remain, subject and subordinate to the terms conditions and provisions of the Mortgage, the lien imposed by the Mortgage, and all advances made under the Mortgage.
Nondisturbance, Recognition and Attornment.
No Exercise of Mortgage Remedies Against Tenant.  So long as the Tenant is not in default under this Agreement or under the Lease beyond any applicable grace or cure periods (an “Event of Default”), Lender (i) shall not terminate or disturb Tenant’s possession of the Leased Premises under the Lease, except in accordance with the terms of the Lease and this Agreement and (ii) shall not name or join Tenant as a defendant in any exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies arising upon a default under the Mortgage unless applicable law requires Tenant to be made a party thereto as a condition to proceeding against Landlord or prosecuting such rights and remedies.  In the latter case, Lender may join Tenant as a defendant in such action only for such purpose and not to terminate the Lease or otherwise adversely affect Tenant’s rights under the Lease or this Agreement in such action.
Recognition and Attornment.  Upon Successor Landlord taking title to the Property (i) Successor Landlord shall be bound to Tenant under all the terms and conditions of the Lease (except as provided in this Agreement); (ii) Tenant shall recognize and attorn to Successor Landlord as Tenant’s direct landlord under the Lease as affected by this Agreement; and (iii) the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease, in accordance with its terms (except as provided in this Agreement), between Successor Landlord and Tenant.  Tenant hereby acknowledges notice that pursuant to the Mortgage and assignment of rents, leases and profits, Landlord has granted to the Lender an absolute, present assignment of the Lease and Rents which provides that Tenant continue making payments of Rents and other amounts owed by Tenant under the Lease to or at the direction of the Landlord and to recognize the rights of Landlord under the Lease until notified otherwise in writing by the Lender.  After receipt of such notice from Lender, the Tenant shall thereafter make all such payments directly to the Lender or as the Lender may otherwise direct, without any further inquiry on the part of the Tenant.  Landlord consents to the foregoing and waives any right, claim or demand which Landlord may have against Tenant by reason of such payments to Lender or as Lender directs.
Further Documentation.  The provisions of this Article 3 shall be effective and self-operative without any need for Successor Landlord or Tenant to execute any further documents.

Protection of Successor Landlord.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or the Mortgage, Successor Landlord shall not be liable for or bound by any of the following matters:
Claims Against Former Landlord.  Any Offset Right that Tenant may have against any Former Landlord relating to any event or occurrence before the date of attornment, including any claim for damages of any kind whatsoever as the result of any breach by Former Landlord that occurred before the date of attornment.  The foregoing shall not limit either (i) Tenant’s right to exercise against Successor Landlord any Offset Right otherwise available to Tenant because of events occurring after the date of attornment or (ii) Successor Landlord’s obligation to correct any conditions that existed as of the date of attornment and violate Successor Landlord’s continuing obligations as landlord under the Lease.

Prepayments.  Any payment of Rent that Tenant may have made to Former Landlord more than thirty (30) days before the date such Rent was first due and payable under the Lease with respect to any period after the date of attornment other than, and only to the extent that, the Lease expressly required such a prepayment.
Payment; Security Deposit; Work.  Any obligation:  (i) to pay Tenant any sum(s) that any Former Landlord owed to Tenant unless such sums, if any, shall have been actually delivered to Lender by way of an assumption of escrow accounts or otherwise; (ii) with respect to any security deposited with Former Landlord, unless such security deposit was actually delivered to Lender; (iii) to commence or complete any initial construction of improvements in the Leased Premises or any expansion or rehabilitation of existing improvements thereon; (iv) to reconstruct or repair improvements following a fire, casualty or condemnation; or (v) arising from representations and warranties related to Former Landlord.
Modification, Amendment or Waiver.  Any modification or amendment of the Lease, or any waiver of the terms of the Lease, made without Lender’s prior written consent.
Exculpation of Successor Landlord.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Lease, Successor Landlord’s obligations and liability under the Lease shall never extend beyond Successor Landlord’s (or its successors’ or assigns’) interest, if any, in the Leased Premises from time to time, including insurance and condemnation proceeds, security deposits, escrows, Successor Landlord’s interest in the Lease, and the proceeds from any sale, lease or other disposition of the Property (or any portion thereof) by Successor Landlord (collectively, the “Successor Landlord’s Interest”).  Tenant shall look exclusively to Successor Landlord’s Interest (or that of its successors and assigns) for payment or discharge of any obligations of Successor Landlord under the Lease as affected by this Agreement.  If Tenant obtains any money judgment against Successor Landlord with respect to the Lease or the relationship between Successor Landlord and Tenant, then Tenant shall look solely to Successor Landlord’s Interest (or that of its successors and assigns) to collect such judgment.  Tenant shall not collect or attempt to collect any such judgment out of any other assets of Successor Landlord.
Lender’s Right to Cure.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or this Agreement, before exercising any Offset Right or Termination Right:
Notice to Lender.  Tenant shall provide Lender with notice of the breach or default by Landlord giving rise to same (the “Default Notice”) and, thereafter, the opportunity to cure such breach or default as provided for below.
Lender’s Cure Period.  After Lender receives a Default Notice, Lender shall have a period of thirty (30) days beyond the time available to Landlord under the Lease in which to cure the breach or default by Landlord.  Lender shall have no obligation to cure (and shall have no liability or obligation for not curing) any breach or default by Landlord, except to the extent that Lender agrees or undertakes otherwise in writing.  In addition, as to any breach or default by Landlord the cure of which requires possession and control of the Property, provided that Lender undertakes by written notice to Tenant to exercise reasonable efforts to cure or cause to be cured by a receiver such breach or default within the period permitted by this paragraph, Lender’s cure period shall continue for such additional time (the “Extended Cure Period”) as Lender may reasonably require to either:  (i) obtain possession and control of the Property with due diligence and thereafter cure the breach or default with reasonable diligence and continuity; or (ii) obtain the appointment of a receiver and give such receiver a reasonable period of time in which to cure the default.
Miscellaneous.
Notices.  Any notice or request given or demand made under this Agreement by one party to the other shall be in writing, and may be given or served by hand-delivered personal service, or by depositing the same with a reliable overnight courier service or by deposit in the United States mail, postpaid, registered or certified mail, and addressed to the party to be notified, with return receipt requested or by telefax transmission, with the original machine- generated transmit confirmation report as evidence of transmission.

RIDER 1
EXTENSION OPTION

This Rider 1 (the "Rider") is incorporated as a part of that certain Office Lease dated February __, 2017, (the "Lease"), by and between AUTOMATION PARKWAY OWNER LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Landlord"), and QUANTENNA COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Tenant"), for the leasing of those certain premises located at 1704 Automation Parkway, San Jose, California, as more particularly described in the Lease (the "Premises").  Any capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms as set forth in the Lease.
1.    Grant of Extension Option.  Subject to the provisions, limitations and conditions set forth in this Rider, Tenant shall have one (1) option (the "Extension Option") to extend the initial Lease Term for six (6) years (the "Extension Term").
2.    Tenant's Extension Option Notice.  Tenant shall have the right to deliver written notice to Landlord of its intent to exercise this Extension Option (the "Extension Option Notice").  If Landlord does not receive the Extension Option Notice from Tenant on a date which is no earlier than twenty-one (21) months and no less than eighteen (18) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term, all rights under this Extension Option shall automatically terminate and shall be of no further force or effect.  Upon the proper exercise of this Extension Option, subject to the provisions, limitations and conditions set forth in this Rider, the Lease Term shall be extended for the Extension Term.
3.    Establishing the Initial Base Rent for the Extension Term.  The initial Base Rent for the Extension Term shall be equal to the then Fair Market Rental Rate, as hereinafter defined.  As used herein, the "Fair Market Rental Rate" payable by Tenant for the Extension Term shall mean the Base Rent for non-equity office and R&D tenants, as of the commencement of the lease term for the Extension Term, comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises for a comparable term, which comparable space is located in other comparable first-class buildings in the vicinity of the Building, taking into consideration all out-of-pocket concessions generally being granted at such time for such comparable space, including the condition and value of existing tenant improvements in the Premises.  The Fair Market Rental Rate shall include the periodic rental increases that would be included for space leased for the period of the Extension Term.
If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Extension Term within ten (10) days of receipt by Landlord of the Extension Option Notice for the Extension Term, Landlord and Tenant each, at its cost and by giving notice to the other party, shall appoint a competent and impartial commercial real estate broker (hereinafter "broker") with at least ten (10) years' full-time commercial real estate brokerage experience in the geographical area of the Premises to set the Fair Market Rental Rate for the space and term at issue.  If either Landlord or Tenant does not appoint a broker within ten (10) days after the other party has given notice of the name of its broker, the single broker appointed shall be the sole broker and shall conclusively determine the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Extension Term.  If two (2) brokers are appointed by Landlord and Tenant as stated in this paragraph, they shall meet promptly and attempt to set the Fair Market Rental Rate.  In addition, if either of the first two (2) brokers fails to submit their opinion of the Fair Market Rental Rate within the time frames set forth below, then the single Fair Market Rental Rate submitted shall automatically be the initial monthly Base Rent for the Extension Term and shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.  If the two (2) brokers are unable to agree within ten (10) days after the second broker has been appointed, they shall attempt to select a third broker, meeting the qualifications stated in this paragraph within ten (10) days after the last day the two (2) brokers are given to set the Fair Market Rental Rate.  If the two (2) brokers are unable to agree on the third broker, either Landlord or Tenant by giving ten (10) days' written notice to the other party, can apply to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the county in which the Premises is located for the selection of a third broker who meets the qualifications stated in this paragraph.  Landlord and Tenant each shall bear one-half (1⁄2) of the cost of appointing the third broker and of paying the third broker's fee.  The third broker, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either Landlord or Tenant.  Within fifteen (15) days after the selection of the third broker, the third broker shall select one of the two Fair Market Rental Rates submitted by the first two brokers as the Fair Market Rental Rate for the space and term at issue.  The determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate by the third broker shall be conclusive and binding upon Landlord and Tenant.
In no event shall the monthly Base Rent for any period of the Extension Term as determined pursuant to this Rider, be less than the highest monthly Base Rent charged during the initial term of the Lease plus an escalation amount equal to the last escalation amount of Base Rent charged during the preceding term of the Lease.  Upon determination of the initial monthly Base Rent for the Extension Term in accordance with the terms outlined above, Landlord and Tenant shall immediately execute, at Landlord's sole option, either the standard lease agreement then in use by Landlord, or an amendment to the Lease.  Such new lease agreement or amendment, as the case may be, shall set forth among other things, the initial monthly Base Rent for the Extension Term and the actual commencement date and expiration date of the Extension Term.  Tenant shall have no other right to extend the Lease Term under this Rider unless Landlord and Tenant otherwise agree in writing.
4.    Condition of Premises for the Extension Term.  If Tenant timely and properly exercises this Extension Option, in strict accordance with the terms contained herein Tenant shall accept the Premises in its then "AS-IS" condition and, accordingly, Landlord shall not be required to perform any additional improvements to the Premises.

5.    Limitations On, and Conditions To, Extension Option.  This Extension Option is personal to Tenant (and any Permitted Transferee) and may not be otherwise assigned separate from or as part of the Lease.  At Landlord's option, all rights of Tenant under this Extension Option shall terminate and be of no force or effect if any of the following individual events occur or any combination thereof occur:  (1) Tenant has been in monetary or other material default beyond any applicable cure period at any time during the Lease Term, or is in monetary or other material default beyond any applicable cure period of any provision of the Lease on the date Landlord receives the Extension Option Notice; and/or (2) Tenant has assigned its rights and obligations under all or part of the Lease or Tenant has subleased all or part of the Premises in a transfer (other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer); and/or (3) Tenant's financial condition is unacceptable to Landlord at the time the Extension Option Notice is delivered to Landlord; provided, however, that if Landlord determines that Tenant's financial condition is unacceptable, such determination must be based on good faith, taking into consideration all relevant factors; and/or (4) Tenant has failed to exercise properly this Extension Option in a timely manner in strict accordance with the provisions of this Rider; and/or (5) Tenant no longer has possession of the entire Premises pursuant to the Lease, or if the Lease has been terminated earlier, pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Lease.
6.    Time is of the Essence.  Time is of the essence with respect to each and every time period described in this Rider.
