NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

If the Building is less than 100% occupied during all or a portion of any year (including the Base Year), Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to the variable components of Base Operating Cost for such year (including the Base Year) as reasonably determined by Landlord employing sound accounting and management principles, to determine the amount of Base Operating Cost that would have been paid had the Building been 100% occupied, and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been the amount of Base Operating Cost for such year.

 

5. Improvements to Leased Premises.

 

  5.1 Condition of Leased Premises. Tenant is in possession of the Leased Premises and accepts the same “as is” without any agreements, representations, understandings or obligations on the part of Landlord to perform any alterations, repairs or improvements, except as may be expressly provided otherwise in this Amendment.

  5.2 Responsibility for Improvements to Leased Premises. Following the date of this Amendment, Tenant may perform improvements (the “Tenant Improvements”) to the Leased Premises in accordance with the terms of Section 7.2 of the Lease and Tenant shall be entitled to an improvement allowance in connection with such Tenant Improvements as more fully described in Section 5.3 of this Amendment.

 

  5.3 Improvement Allowance.

 

  5.3.1   All Tenant Improvements to the Leased Premises shall be done in strict accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 of the Lease; provided, however, that the supervision fee of ten percent (l0%) referenced therein is hereby revised to be five percent (5%) of the total amount invoiced by Tenant’s general contractor for performance of the Tenant Improvements. Such general contractor shall be selected by Tenant from a list of general contractors supplied by Landlord (or, if Tenant’s proposed general contractor is not listed as a pre-approved general contractor, such general contractor shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord notice of its selection of the contractor upon such selection. All subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers used by Tenant (such subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers, and the contractor to be known collectively as “Tenant’s Agents”) must be approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that, in any event, Tenant must contract with Landlord’s base building subcontractors for any mechanical, electrical, plumbing, life safety, structural, heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning work in the Leased Premises. If requested by Landlord, Tenant’s Agents shall all be union labor in compliance with the master labor agreements existing between trade unions and the local chapter of the Associated General Contractors of America. Subject to the terms and provisions hereof, Landlord agrees to contribute an amount not to exceed Four Hundred Sixty-Two Thousand Two Hundred Dollars ($462,200.00) (representing an amount equal to $20.00 per rentable square foot of the entire Leased Premises) toward the hard and soft costs associated with such Tenant Improvements (the “Improvement Allowance”).

 

  5.3.2  

Periodically during the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements, but not more frequently than once a month, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord: (i) a request for payment approved by Tenant, in a form to be provided by Landlord, showing the schedule, by trade, of percentage of completion of the Tenant Improvements in the Leased Premises, detailing the portion of the work completed and the portion not completed; (ii) invoices for labor rendered and materials delivered to the Leased Premises; (iii) appropriate executed progress mechanics’ lien releases which comply with the applicable provisions of California law, and unconditional releases (with respect to payments previously made); and (iv) all other information reasonably requested in good faith by Landlord. On or before the date that is thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt and approval of Tenant’s application for payment, Landlord shall deliver a check to Tenant made payable Tenant in payment of the lesser of (A) the amounts so requested by Tenant, as set forth in this Section, less a ten percent (10%) retention (the aggregate amount of such retentions to be known as the “Final Retention”) (it being agreed that the Final Retention referenced herein shall not be duplicative of any retention held by Tenant’s general contractor) and (B) the balance of any remaining available portion of the Improvement Allowance (not including the Final Retention), provided that Landlord does not dispute any request for payment based on non-compliance of any work with any plans, specification or drawings approved by Landlord, or due to any substandard work, or for any other reason; provided, however, that no such retention shall be duplicative of the retention Tenant may withhold pursuant to its agreement with its general contractor and no such deduction shall be applicable to amounts due to Tenant’s consultants, architects, suppliers of materials or other contractors who are performing review and/or consulting services (as opposed to contractors or vendors who are performing work at the Building), or for Non-Construction Allowance Items, or any amounts requested pursuant to Section 5.3.3. A check for the Final Retention payable to Tenant shall be delivered by Landlord to Tenant following the completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Leased Premises, provided that (i) Tenant delivers to Landlord properly executed mechanics lien releases in compliance with California law, and (ii) Landlord has determined, in good faith, that no substandard work exists which adversely affects the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating and air conditioning, life-safety or other systems of the Building, the curtain wall of the Building, the structure or exterior appearance of the Building, or any other tenant’s use of such other tenant’s leased premises in the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

with respect to fees and expenses of any architects, engineers or any other pre-construction items for which the payment scheme set forth in item (ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence is not applicable (collectively, the “Non-Construction Allowance Items”), Landlord shall make disbursements of the Improvement Allowance therefor on a monthly basis following Landlord’s receipt of invoices and other reasonable evidence that Tenant has incurred the cost for the applicable Non-Construction Allowance Items, (unless Landlord has received a preliminary notice in connection with such costs, in which event conditional lien releases must be submitted in connection with such costs) and such other information and documentation reasonably required by Landlord.

 

  5.3.3   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall be entitled to apply up to Seventy Thousand Dollars ($70,000.00) of the Improvement Allowance toward a previously completed upgrade to the 16th floor computer room electrical and air conditioning systems, which amount shall be disbursed by Landlord within thirty (30) days following receipt by Landlord of invoices or other reasonable documentary evidence that Tenant has incurred the cost for the item(s) for which Tenant is seeking reimbursement (unless Landlord has received a preliminary notice in connection with any such costs, in which event conditional lien releases must be submitted in connection with the same).

 

  5.3.4   If Tenant does not submit a request for payment of the entire Improvement Allowance to Landlord in accordance with the provisions contained in this Amendment by March 31, 2010, then any portion of the Improvement Allowance which has not theretofore been requested shall accrue to the sole benefit of Landlord, it being agreed that, subject to the following, Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit, offset, abatement or payment with respect thereto.

 

  5.3.5   Landlord has established specifications (the “Specifications”) for the Building standard components to be used in the construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Leased Premises (collectively, the “Construction Procedures”), which Specifications have been received by Tenant. The Tenant Improvements shall comply with the Specifications for all Tenant Improvement components which have been pre-approved by Landlord. With respect to all other Tenant Improvement components, Tenant shall utilize materials and finishes which are not of lesser quality than the Specifications. Landlord may make changes to the Specifications for the Construction Procedures from time to time.
