(the "Premises") substantially shown outlined on the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit A and described in the Basic Lease Information, which Premises are located in the building (the "Building") described in the Basic Lease Information.  As used in this Lease, the term "Building" shall include the parcel or parcels of land on which the Building is located and all appurtenances thereto.  During the Lease Term, as the sole tenant in the Building, Tenant shall have the exclusive right to use only for their intended purposes of lobbies, entrances, stairs, elevators and other portions of the Building.  Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not have any right to change the size, location, configuration, character or use of any portion of the Premises, the Building or the land on which the Building is located.  Except in the event Tenant provides its express written consent, which may be granted, conditioned or withheld in Tenant's sole discretion, Landlord agrees that Landlord will not construct additional improvements or facilities within the Premises, the Building or the land on which the Building is located, nor close any such areas.  Tenant shall have the exclusive use of all windows and outside decks or terraces and walls of the Premises and any space in the Premises used for shafts, stacks, pipes, conduits, ducts, electric or other utilities, sinks or other Building facilities, existing Building risers, raceways, shafts and conduit, and the Building’s MPOE (main point of entry), including, but not limited to, for the installation and operation of Tenant's telecommunications systems, including voice, video, data, internet, and any other services provided over wire, fiber optic, microwave, wireless, and any other transmission systems. 
4.Amendment Contingency.
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Expansion Premises is presently leased by Trex Enterprises Corporation ("Existing Tenant") pursuant to a lease between Landlord and Existing Tenant (the “Existing Tenant Lease”), and Landlord hereby notifies Tenant that Landlord and Existing Tenant are in the process of negotiating a binding early termination of the Existing Tenant Lease (the "Early Termination Agreement") to enable Landlord to deliver to Tenant possession of the Expansion Premises in the Delivery Condition no later than Friday, January 1, 2021 (the "Delivery Deadline").  The Early Termination Agreement will evidence Existing Tenant's obligation to surrender possession of the Expansion Premises by such date that Landlord may thereafter deliver to Tenant possession of the Expansion Premises in the Delivery Condition no later than the Delivery Deadline.
(b)Landlord shall have until 5:00 pm Pacific Time on the date that is fourteen (14) days after the mutual execution of this Amendment (the "Landlord Termination Deadline") to deliver to Tenant a copy of the fully-executed Early Termination Agreement (the "Amendment Contingency").  In the event Landlord fails to deliver the fully-executed Early Termination Agreement to Tenant on or before the Landlord Termination Deadline, then the Amendment Contingency shall be deemed to have not been satisfied, and Landlord shall have the option to terminate the entirety of this Amendment (a “Landlord Termination”) at any time during the period commencing one (1) day after the Landlord Termination Deadline and ending at 5:00 pm Pacific time on the date that is five (5) business days after the Landlord Termination Deadline.  Landlord may exercise its option to terminate this Amendment by delivering written notice of the Landlord Termination to Tenant.  In the event Landlord so elects to terminate this Amendment due to the failure of the Amendment Contingency, following the Landlord Termination the Lease shall be deemed unmodified by this Amendment, and the Lease shall remain in full force and effect as if this Amendment was not entered into.  In the event Landlord declines to terminate this Amendment due to the failure of the Amendment Contingency, then this Amendment shall remain in full force and effect.   
(c)In the event Landlord declines to terminate this Amendment pursuant to the Landlord Termination, and thereafter Landlord fails to deliver to Tenant possession of the Expansion Premises in the Delivery Condition on or prior to the Delivery Deadline, then Landlord shall provide to Tenant a credit against Base Rent for the Expansion Premises (the “Rent Credit”) equal to one (1) day of Base Rent for the Expansion Premises for each day (if any) that passes from the Delivery Deadline until the earlier to occur of (i) February 28, 2021 (the “Tenant Termination Deadline”) or (ii) the actual date that Landlord delivers to Tenant possession of the Expansion Premises in the Delivery Condition (such

number of days referred to herein as the "Delay Period").  In addition, notwithstanding the length of the Delay Period, in no event shall the Expiration Date of the Lease (as modified by this Amendment) be adjusted or extended due to such delays.  In the event Landlord fails to deliver to Tenant possession of the Expansion Premises in the Delivery Condition on or prior to the Tenant Termination Deadline, then in addition to receiving the Rent Credit, Tenant shall also have the option to terminate all provisions of this Amendment other than Landlord's obligation to provide the Rent Credit (the "Tenant Termination").  Tenant may elect to exercise the Tenant Termination at any time during the period commencing one (1) day after the Tenant Termination Deadline and ending at 5:00 pm Pacific time on the date that is five (5) business days after the Tenant Termination Deadline.  Tenant may exercise the Tenant Termination by delivering written notice of the same to Landlord.  In the event Tenant so elects to terminate this Amendment pursuant to the Tenant Termination, all provisions of this Amendment other than Landlord's obligation to provide the Rent Credit shall be rendered of no force nor effect on the Lease, and other than Landlord's obligation to provide the Rent Credit to Tenant, the Lease shall be deemed unmodified by this Amendment.  Upon Landlord's crediting to Tenant the amount of the Rent Credit, the entirety of this Amendment shall be deemed terminated, and the Lease shall remain in full force and effect as if this Amendment was not entered into.
(d)For the purpose of this Amendment, the "Delivery Condition" shall mean that the Expansion Premises shall be broom clean, with all of personal property, furniture, fixtures and equipment removed from the Expansion Premises prior to delivery of possession to Tenant.

5096185v2 / 500209.0017 

offset, abatement or payment with respect thereto.

In connection with the foregoing, the Landlord's Work set forth in Schedule 1 to Exhibit B to the Lease is hereby modified to remove all references to installation of carpet and paint, as such work shall instead be performed by Tenant, and the Tenant Improvement Allowance set forth in section 5(a) of Exhibit B to the Lease is hereby increased from Three Million One Hundred Ninety-Four Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty and No/100 Dollars ($3,194,880.00) to Three Million Two Hundred Seven Thousand Three Hundred Seventy and No/100 Dollars ($3,207,380.00), and shall be payable to Tenant in accordance with the terms, conditions and provisions of Exhibit B to the Lease.
9.Right of First Offer to Purchase.  Tenant shall have a one-time right of first offer (the "Right of First Offer to Purchase"), during the Lease Term, including the Extension Term, to purchase the Building (the "Purchase Space") pursuant to the following terms and conditions:
(a)Provided that Tenant is not then in default of the terms of the Lease, as amended, at the time of Tenant's exercise of the Right of First Offer to Purchase under this Section 8, if, at any time during the Lease Term, Landlord elects to sell the Purchase Space (i) to a party other than a “Landlord Affiliate” or a “Foreclosure Owner” as those terms are defined below, and (ii) on a single asset basis and not as part of a "Group Sale," as that term is defined below, Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant of the terms and conditions upon which Landlord would be willing to sell the Purchase Space (the “Landlord’s Notice”). Landlord's Notice shall set forth the material economic terms and conditions (including, without limitation, a statement regarding whether the Purchase Space will be sold free and clear of all deeds of trust, mortgages, or other similar instruments affecting the Purchase Space) under which Landlord is willing to sell the Purchase Space to Tenant (the “Material Terms”), but shall not constitute an agreement between the parties or an offer to sell such Purchase Space. Landlord agrees to bargain in good faith on any terms not stated in Landlord's Notice.  
(b)Tenant shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Landlord's Notice (the “Tenant Response Period”) to notify Landlord in writing whether or not Tenant desires to purchase the Purchase Space on the terms stated in Landlord's Notice (the “Tenant's Notice”). If Tenant delivers the Tenant's Notice within the Tenant Response Period, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly enter into a purchase and sale agreement for the Purchase Space on the Material Terms stated in Landlord's Notice (the "Purchase Agreement").  Tenant's Right of First Offer to Purchase is personal to Original Tenant and any Affiliate, and shall terminate upon Tenant's failure to timely exercise its Right of First Offer to Purchase within the Tenant Response Period.  Accordingly, if Original Tenant shall assign the Lease prior

	-6-
	

5096185v2 / 500209.0017 

to its exercise of Tenant's Right of First Offer to Purchase (other than to an Affiliate), Tenant's Right of First Offer to Purchase shall thereupon be deemed terminated and Tenant shall have no rights pursuant to this Section 8, and any purported exercise of Tenant's Right of First Offer to Purchase after the date of such assignment shall be deemed void and of no force or effect.  
(c)In the event that (i) Tenant either (A) elects not to purchase the Purchase Space on the Material Terms stated in Landlord's Notice or (B) fails to deliver Tenant's Notice to Landlord prior to the expiration of the Tenant Response Period, or (ii) Tenant delivers a Tenant's Notice to Landlord within the Tenant Response Period but Landlord and Tenant fail to execute the Purchase Agreement within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of Landlord's receipt of Tenant's Notice, then (i) Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its Right of First Offer to Purchase the Purchase Space, (ii) Tenant's Right of First Offer to Purchase shall be deemed null and void, and (iii) Landlord shall have the right to sell the Purchase Space to any third party without having any obligation to deliver a Landlord's Notice to Tenant.
(d)In no event shall Landlord be required to provide Tenant with any of the following items:  (1) appraisal and valuation reports and information, (2) any documents, materials or information which are subject to attorney/client, work product or similar privilege or which constitute attorney communications with respect to the Purchase Space, (3) any confidential or proprietary information and communications, (4) any documents pertaining to the marketing of the Purchase Space for sale to prospective purchasers, (5) any internal memoranda, reports or assessments of Landlord or Landlord's affiliates to the extent relating to Landlord's valuation of the Purchase Space or interpretation of any agreements, contracts or third party reports pertaining to the Purchase Space, or (6) any materials projecting or relating to the future performance of the Purchase Space.  Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord will not make any warranty or representation, express or implied, regarding the truth or accuracy of any of the documents, materials or information provided to or made available to Tenant or the source thereof and Landlord shall have no liability as a result of providing or making available to Tenant such documents, materials or information or as a result of Tenant's reliance thereon.  During the Offer Period, Tenant and its agents, contractors, subcontractors, consultants, employees, engineers, legal counsel and other authorized representatives of Tenant who shall inspect, investigate, test or evaluate the Purchase Space on behalf of Tenant (collectively, "Licensee Parties") shall have reasonable access to the Purchase Space at agreed upon times during normal business hours for agreed upon purposes on at least one (1) business day's prior notice to Landlord.  Such notice shall describe the scope of the studies Tenant intends to conduct during Tenant's access to the Purchase Space.  Landlord shall have the right to have a representative present during any visits to or inspections of the Purchase Space or interviews with any tenants of the Purchase Space.  If Tenant desires to conduct any physically intrusive studies such as, but not limited to, sampling of soils or the like ("Inspection"), Tenant will identify in writing the procedures Tenant desires to perform and shall request Landlord's express written consent thereto, which consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion.  The Inspection will be at Tenant's sole cost and expense and will be conducted in a manner and by Licensee Parties reasonably acceptable to Landlord.  Should Tenant choose to conduct such an investigation at the Purchase Space, then Tenant shall promptly cause to be removed any mechanics' liens that may be recorded against the Purchase Space on account of the performance of work or activities by or for Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense.  Tenant and any Licensee Parties will:  (i) maintain commercial general liability (occurrence) insurance on terms reasonably satisfactory to Landlord covering any occurrence arising in connection with the presence of Tenant or the Licensee Parties on the Purchase Space, and deliver to Landlord a certificate of insurance, which names Landlord as an additional insured thereunder, verifying such coverage prior to entry upon the Purchase Space; (ii) promptly pay when due the costs of all entry and inspections and examinations done with regard to the Purchase Space; and (iii) restore the Purchase Space to the condition in which the same was found before any such entry, inspection or examination was undertaken.  Tenant shall, at Landlord's request, provide Landlord with copies of all studies, tests, reports and other documents or materials relating to the Purchase Space that are prepared, conducted or made by, for or on behalf of Tenant, each of which shall be addressed to Tenant and to Landlord so that Landlord will be entitled to rely thereon as if it were the client of the party preparing such document.  Tenant shall maintain as confidential the terms of the proposed sale transaction and any and all information obtained by Tenant about the Landlord or about the Purchase Space, the other leases at the Purchase Space, this Agreement or the proposed sale transaction, and shall not disclose such information to any third party.  Except as may be required by law, Tenant will not divulge any such information to other persons or entities including,

The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any termination of the Lease.
(e)Tenant shall indemnify and defend Landlord against and hold Landlord harmless from all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, arising from any entry on the Purchase Space by Tenant or any of the Licensee Parties.

Tenant's sole cost and expense, appropriate aesthetic screening, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, for the Dish/Antenna (the "Aesthetic Screening").
38.2    Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have access to the roof of the Building and the Roof Space during the Lease Term.  Tenant further agrees to exercise control over the people requiring access to the roof of the Building and the Roof Space in order to keep to a minimum the number of people having access to the roof of the Building and the Roof Space and the frequency of their visits.  It is further understood and agreed that the installation, maintenance, operation and removal of the Dish/Antenna, the appurtenances and the Aesthetic Screening, if any, is not permitted to damage the Building or the roof thereof.  Tenant agrees to be responsible for any damage caused to the roof or any other part of the Building, which may be caused by Tenant or any of its agents or representatives.
38.3    Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, and at its sole risk, install, operate and maintain the Dish/Antenna in a good and workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all Building, electric, communication, and safety codes, ordinances, standards, regulations and requirements, now in effect or hereafter promulgated, of the Federal Government, including, without limitation, the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC"), the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") or any successor agency of either the FCC or FAA having jurisdiction over radio or telecommunications, and of the state, city and county in which the Building is located.  Under this Lease, Landlord and its agents assume no responsibility for the licensing, operation and/or maintenance of Tenant's equipment.  Tenant has the responsibility of carrying out the terms of its FCC license in all respects.  The Dish/Antenna shall be connected to Landlord's power supply in strict compliance with all applicable Building, electrical, fire and safety codes.  Neither Landlord nor its agents shall be liable to Tenant for any stoppages or shortages of electrical power furnished to the Dish/Antenna or the Roof Space because of any act, omission or requirement of the public utility serving the Building, or the act or omission of any other tenant, invitee or licensee or their respective agents, employees or contractors, or for any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any rental abatement for any such stoppage or shortage of electrical power.  Neither Landlord nor its agents shall have any responsibility or liability for the conduct or safety of any of Tenant's representatives, repair, maintenance and engineering personnel while in or on any part of the Building or the Roof Space.
38.4    The Dish/Antenna, the appurtenances and the Aesthetic Screening, if any, shall remain the personal property of Tenant, and shall be removed by Tenant at its own expense at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease or Tenant's right to possession hereunder.  Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal, including the patching of any holes to match, as closely as possible, the color surrounding the area where the equipment and appurtenances were attached.  Tenant agrees to maintain all of the Tenant's equipment placed on or about the roof or in any other part of the Building in proper operating condition and maintain same in satisfactory condition as to appearance and safety in Landlord's reasonable discretion.  Such maintenance and operation shall be performed in a manner to avoid any interference with any other tenants or Landlord.  Tenant agrees that at all times during the Lease Term, it will keep the roof of the Building and the Roof Space free of all trash or waste materials produced by Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees or contractors.
38.5    In light of the specialized nature of the Dish/Antenna, Tenant shall be permitted to utilize the services of its choice for installation, operation, removal and repair of the Dish/Antenna, the appurtenances and the Aesthetic Screening, if any, subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant must provide Landlord with prior written notice of any such installation, removal or repair and coordinate such work with Landlord in order to avoid voiding or otherwise adversely affecting any warranties granted to Landlord with respect to the roof.  If necessary,

	-11-
	

5096185v2 / 500209.0017 

Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall retain any contractor having a then existing warranty in effect on the roof to perform such work (to the extent that it involves the roof), or, at Tenant's option, to perform such work in conjunction with Tenant's contractor.  In the event Landlord contemplates roof repairs that could affect Tenant's Dish/Antenna, or which may result in an Interruption of the Tenant's telecommunication service, Landlord shall formally notify Tenant at least thirty (30) days in advance (except in cases of an emergency) prior to the commencement of such contemplated work in order to allow Tenant to make other arrangements for such service.
38.6    Tenant specifically acknowledges and agrees that the terms and conditions of Articles 8 and 13 of this Lease shall apply with full force and effect to the Roof Space and any other portions of the roof accessed or utilized by Tenant, its representatives, agents, employees or contractors.
19.CASp Disclosure.  Section 1.5 of the Lease is hereby supplemented with the following: As required by Section 1938(a) of the California Civil Code, Landlord discloses to Tenant that the Expansion Premises have not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist ("CASp").   As required by Section 1938(e) of the California Civil Code, Landlord also states that:
"A Certified Access Specialist (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, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises."
As permitted by the quoted language above, it is agreed that: (a) any CASp inspection for the Expansion Premises requested by Tenant shall be requested by Tenant within ten (10) days after the date on which this Amendment has been executed by Landlord and Tenant, (b) the contract under which the inspection is to be performed shall not limit the CASp's liability if the CASp fails to perform the inspection in accordance with the standard of care applicable to experts performing such inspections, Landlord shall be an intended third party beneficiary of such contract and the contract shall otherwise comply with the provisions of the Lease applicable to Tenant contracts for construction; (c) the CASp inspection of the Expansion Premises shall be conducted (i) at Tenant's sole cost and expense, (ii) by a CASp approved in advance by Landlord, (iii) after normal business hours, (iv) in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and (v) shall be addressed to, and, upon completion, promptly delivered to, Landlord and Tenant; (d) the information in the inspection shall not be disclosed by Tenant to anyone other than contractors, subcontractors, and consultants of Tenant who have a need to know the information therein and who agree in writing not to further disclose such information; and (e) to the extent that such CASp inspection identifies any necessary repairs to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the Expansion Premises, the provisions of Article 14 of the Lease shall govern Tenant’s responsibility to make such repairs to the Expansion Premises.  
20.Release.  As a material inducement to Landlord to enter into this Amendment, Tenant hereby releases Landlord from, and hereby waives, any and all losses, costs, damages, expenses, liabilities, claims and causes of action (collectively, the “Released Claims”) arising prior to the Effective Date from or related to Tenant’s inability or limitation to conduct operations from the Premises as a result of any “shelter in place” orders or similar governmental directives, including, without limitation, any claims for, and/or rights of, termination of the Lease and/or abatement, offset and/or deferral of Rent under the Lease, at law and/or in equity related to the inability of Tenant to conduct operations from the Premises as a result of any “shelter in place” orders or similar governmental directives related thereto.  With respect to the Released Claims, Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has either been advised by legal counsel or has made itself familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code section 1542, which provides as follows:  A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE 
									
	./

5096185v2 / 500209.0017 

CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.  Tenant, being aware of the foregoing code section, hereby expressly waives any rights Tenant may have thereunder, as well as under any other statutes or common-law principles of similar effect, pertaining to the Released Claims.
21.Brokers.  Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other that, other than Cushman & Wakefield, representing Landlord, and Kidder Mathews, representing Tenant, Landlord and Tenant, respectively, have not authorized or employed, or acted by implication to authorize or to employ, any real estate broker or salesman to act for Landlord or Tenant, respectively, in connection with this Amendment.  Landlord and Tenant shall each indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims as a result of a breach by the indemnifying party of the foregoing representation (including reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and any commissions, if ultimately owed).
22.Miscellaneous.  Except as provided above, the Lease is unmodified hereby and remains in full force and effect.  Submission of this instrument for examination and signature by Tenant does not constitute an offer to amend the Lease, or a reservation of or option to amend the Lease, and is not effective as an amendment or otherwise until execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.  The parties may execute several copies of this Amendment.  All copies of this Amendment bearing signatures of the parties shall constitute one and the same Amendment, binding upon all parties.  The parties may execute this Amendment using electronic signature (e.g., DocuSign) and may exchange counterpart signatures by facsimile or electronic transmission and the same shall constitute delivery of this Amendment with respect to the delivering party.  If a variation or discrepancy among counterparts occurs, the copy of this Amendment in Landlord's possession shall control.

Services Provision

ARTICLE 7
Services
7.1On or before the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, Tenant will cause each utility provider to set up an account for the Premises in Tenant’s name and to bill Tenant directly for all utilities supplied to the Premises from the Expansion Premises Commencement Date throughout the Term.  Landlord and Tenant will coordinate the timing for establishing service under such new accounts to avoid any interruption in services.  Tenant will pay when due for electrical service, water, sewer service, natural gas, telecommunications services, garbage removal, and all other utility services supplied to or consumed in, at, or from the Premises and all related access charges and connection fees.
7.2In the event of an interruption in, or failure or inability to provide any service or utility for the Premises for any reason, such interruption, failure or inability shall not constitute an eviction of Tenant, constructive or otherwise, or impose upon Landlord any liability whatsoever, including, but not limited to, liability for consequential damages or loss of business by Tenant. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1932(1) or any other applicable existing or future laws permitting the termination of this Lease due to such interruption, failure or inability.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any interruption in, or failure or inability to provide any of the services or utilities described in Section 7.2 is (i) within Landlord’s reasonable control and continues for three (3) or more consecutive Business Days after Tenant’s written notice thereof to Landlord, or (ii) outside of Landlord’s reasonable control and continues for thirty (30) or more consecutive days after Tenant’s written notice thereof to Landlord, and Tenant is unable to use and does not use a material portion of the Premises for Tenant’s business purposes as a result thereof, then Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Base Rent and Additional Rent, which abatement shall commence as of the first day after the expiration of such three (3) Business Day or thirty (30) day period, as the case may be, and shall be based on the extent of Tenant’s inability to use the Premises for Tenant’s business, and in the case of an interruption, failure or inability described in clause (ii) above, such abatement shall be applicable only to the extent and for so long as Landlord is reimbursed for the so abated rent pursuant to Landlord’s rental loss  insurance. The abatement provisions set forth above shall be inapplicable to any interruption in, or failure or inability to provide any of the services or utilities described in Section 7.2 that is caused by (x) damage by fire or other casualty or a taking (it being acknowledged that such situations shall be governed by Articles 11 and 21, respectively), or (y) the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any agents, employees, contractors, licensees, subtenants, customers, guests or invitees of Tenant (collectively with Tenant, "Tenant Parties").
7.3In the event any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Building promulgates or revises any applicable laws or building, fire or other code or imposes mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines on Landlord or the Building relating to the use or conservation of energy or utilities or the reduction of automobile or other emissions (collectively “Controls”) or in the event Landlord is required by Legal Requirements to make alterations to the Building in order to comply with such mandatory Controls, Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant advising Tenant of the mandatory Controls, and Landlord’s proposed commercially reasonable alterations to the Building intended to comply with such mandatory Controls.  Tenant and Landlord shall thereafter cooperate to agree upon the scope of work for such alterations and the schedule for performing same, which shall be coordinated to not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s access to and use of the Premises or Tenant’s business operations conducted therein.  So long as Landlord complies with the foregoing terms and conditions, the making of such commercially reasonable alterations to comply with such mandatory Controls shall not constitute an eviction of Tenant, constructive or otherwise, or impose upon Landlord any liability whatsoever, including, but not limited to, liability for consequential damages or loss of business by Tenant.
7.4Landlord makes no representation to Tenant regarding the adequacy or fitness of the heating, air conditioning or ventilation equipment in the Building to maintain temperatures that may be required for, or because of, any computer or communications rooms, machine rooms, conference rooms

or other areas of high concentration of personnel or electrical usage, or any other uses other than or in excess of the fractional horsepower normally required for office equipment, and Landlord shall have no liability for loss or damage suffered by Tenant or others in connection therewith.
7.5Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may, from time to time, be required to disclose certain information concerning the Building’s energy use pursuant to California law (any such current or future law or regulation regarding disclosure of energy efficiency data with respect to the Building shall be referred to herein as the “Energy Disclosure Regulations”).  Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord with respect to any disclosure and/or reporting requirements pursuant to any Energy Disclosure Regulations.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days following request from Landlord, disclose to Landlord all information reasonably requested by Landlord in connection with the Energy Disclosure Regulations, including, but not limited to, the amount of power or other utilities consumed within the Premises for which the meters for such utilities are in Tenant’s name, the number of employees working within the Premises, the operating hours for Tenant’s business in the Premises, and the type and number of equipment operated by Tenant in the Premises.  Tenant acknowledges that this information shall be provided on a non-confidential basis and may be provided by Landlord to the applicable utility providers, the California Energy Commission (and other governmental entities having jurisdiction with respect to the Energy Disclosure Regulations), and any third parties to whom Landlord is required to make the disclosures pursuant to the Energy Disclosure Regulations.  Tenant agrees that none of the Landlord Parties (as defined below) shall be liable for any loss, cost, damage, expense or liability related to Landlord’s disclosure of such information provided by Tenant.  In addition, Tenant represents to Landlord that any and all information provided by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this paragraph shall be, to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, true and correct in all material respects.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this section 10.1 to the contrary, Landlord may at any time, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Tenant, assume maintenance of the HVAC systems, in which case Tenant will reimburse Landlord for the cost incurred by Landlord in maintaining, repairing and replacing such HVAC systems within thirty (30) days following demand from Landlord; provided, however, that any capital repairs or replacements of the HVAC systems shall be reasonably amortized as determined by Landlord and consistent with prudent real property management practices for comparable buildings in the San Diego area, together with interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.  Tenant hereby waives all rights under California Civil Code section 1941 and all rights to make repairs at the expense of Landlord or in lieu thereof to vacate the Premises as provided by California Civil Code section 1942 or any other law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
