Tenant shall pay the Base Rent to Landlord in advance upon the first day of each calendar month of the Term, at Landlord’s address or at such other place designated by Landlord in a notice to Tenant, without any prior demand therefor and without any deduction, abatement or setoff whatsoever. If the Term shall commence or end on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, then Tenant
shall pay, on the Commencement Date and first day of the last calendar month, a pro rata portion of the Base Rent, prorated on a per diem basis, with respect to the portions of the fractional calendar month included in the Term. Concurrently with executing this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Rent due for the first full calendar month during the Term along with the Security Deposit as provided in Section 4.5 below.
4.2. Adjustment to Base Rent. The Base Rent shall be adjusted as provided in the Rider attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

This provision shall not relieve Tenant from payment of Rent at the time and in the manner herein specified.
4.5. Interest. In addition to the imposition of a late payment charge pursuant to Section 4.3 above, any Rent that is not paid due shall bear interest from the date due until the date paid at the rate (the “Interest Rate”) that is the lesser of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s acceptance of any interest payments on any past due Rent shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of Tenant’s default with respect to the amount of Rent past due or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the rights and remedies available to Landlord under this Lease or at law.
4.6. Security Deposit. Upon executing this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord cash (the “Security Deposit”) in the amount specified as the Security Deposit in the Basic Lease Information.

Tenant’s failure to pay to Landlord a sufficient amount in cash to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount within five (5) days after receipt of such demand shall constitute an Event of Default.

Within thirty (30) days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has then performed all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit to Tenant.

5.4. Installment Election. In the case of any Impositions which may be evidenced by improvement or other bonds or which may be paid in annual or other periodic installments, Landlord shall elect to cause such bonds to be issued or such assessment to be paid in installments over the maximum period permitted by law.

On or before the first day of each month during the ensuing calendar year Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in advance, one-twelfth (1/12) of the estimated amount; provided however, if Landlord fails to notify Tenant of the estimated amount of Tenant’s share of Operating Expenses for the ensuing calendar year prior to the end of the current calendar year, Tenant shall be required to continue to pay to Landlord each month in advance Tenant’s estimated share of Operating Expenses on the basis of the amount due for the immediately prior month until ten (10) days after Landlord not ifies Tenant of the estimated amount of Tenant’s share of Operating Expenses for the ensuing calendar year. If at any time it appears to Landlord that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s share of Operating Expenses payable for the current calendar year will vary from Landlord’s estimate, Landlord may give notice to Tenant of Landlord’s revised estimate for the calendar year, and subsequent payments by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ for the calendar year shall be based on the revised estimate.
7.6. Annual Adjustment. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each calendar year during the Term, or as soon after the one hundred twenty (120) day period as practicable, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of the adjustment to the Operating Expenses for the prior calendar year. If, on the basis of the statement, Tenant owes an amount that is less than the estimated payments for the prior calendar year previously made by Tenant, Landlord shall apply the excess to the next payment of Operating Expenses due. If, on the basis of the statement, Tenant owes an amount that is more than the amount of estimated payments made by the Tenant for
the prior calendar year, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery of the statement. The year end statement shall be binding upon Tenant unless Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of any objection thereto within ninety (90) days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of the year end statement. In addition, if, after the end of any calendar year or any annual adjustment of Operating Expenses for a calendar year, Operating Expenses are incurred or billed to Landlord that are attributable to any period within the Term (e.g., sewer district flow fees), Landlord shall notify Tenant of its share of such additional Operating Expenses and Tenant shall pay such amount to Landlord within ten (10) days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s written request therefor.
7.7. Less Than Full Occupancy. In the event the Building, Phase or Project are not fully occupied during any year of the Term, an adjustment shall be made in computing Operating Expenses for such year so that the same shall be computed for such year as though the Building, Phase and Project had been fully occupied during such year.
7.8. Special Services.
(a) Utilities. In the event Landlord provides additional utilities, heating, air conditioning, trash removal and/or cleaning services to Tenant beyond such standard services related to the operation and management similar business office parks located in Menlo Park/Palo Alto areas, or at times other than during Business Hours (as defined in the Basic Lease Information), Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable charge for such special services as Additional Rent. Any cleaning of lunchrooms, cafeterias, conference rooms, etc., shall be on a special services basis (except with respect to the removal of trash from trash receptacles or cleaning incidental to normal cleaning).
(b) Meters. Landlord shall have the right, at ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s sole cost and expense, to install separate metering for electricity, water or gas to the Premises or to separately charge Tenant for any quantity of such utilities consumed by Tenant beyond the amounts customarily consumed by tenants in the Project as reasonably determined by Landlord. Landlord may also charge Tenant for costs of sanitary sewer or trash removal occasioned by ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s excessive consumption of such services. All such charges shall be reasonably determined by Landlord and promptly paid by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent.
8. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
8.1. Landlord Repairs and Maintenance. Landlord shall maintain those portions of the Building, Lot, Phase and Project that are owned by Landlord and not leased to tenants in the Project or required to be maintained by any tenants in the Project consistent with the standards applied by landlords of similar Class A business office parks located in the Menlo Park and Palo Alto areas.
8.2. Tenant Repairs and Maintenance. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall at all times during the Term keep, maintain and preserve the Premises and all parts, components, systems, fixtures, hardware and finishes of and in the Premises in a first class, clean, safe and sanitary order, condition and repair, excepting only insured casualty to the extent of the insurance proceeds received by Landlord. Tenant shall comply with all applicable manufacturer’s specifications and recommendations and best industry practices in connection with cleaning, protecting, servicing, maintaining and repairing the Premises and all of the parts, components, systems, fixtures, hardware and finishes in the Premises in order to preserve and achieve the maximum aesthetic and economically serviceable life of the Premises and the improvements contained therein. All repairs, replacements and restorations made by Tenant shall be performed promptly as required, in a good and workmanlike manner, employing materials of equal or better quality, serviceability and utility to those items or parts being replaced, with surface finishes (including color, texture and general appearance) comparable and compatible with adjacent surfaces, to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord and in compliance with all applicable federal, state or local laws, ordinances, regulations and orders and the requirements of any insurer of the Building. Tenant shall, at ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s own expense, immediately replace all glass in the Premises that may be broken during the Term with glass at least equal to the specification and quality of the glass being replaced. Upon expiration of the Term, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as received, reasonable wear and tear, damage by fire or other insured casualty to the extent of insurance proceeds received by Landlord excepted. The term “reasonable wear and tear” as used herein shall mean wear and tear which manifests itself solely through normal intensity of use and passage of time consistent with the employment of commercially prudent measures to protect finishes and components from damage and excessive wear, the application of regular and appropriate preventative maintenance practices and procedures, routine cleaning and servicing, waxing, polishing, adjusting, repair, refurbishment and replacement at a standard of appearance and utility and as often as appropriate for Class A corporate and professional office occupancies in the Palo Alto/Menlo Park office market. The term “reasonable wear and tear”
would thus encompass the natural fading of painted surfaces, fabric and materials over time, and carpet wear caused by normal foot traffic. The term “reasonable wear and tear” shall not include any damage or deterioration that could have been prevented by ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s employment of ordinary prudence, care and diligence in the occupancy and use of the Premises and the performance of all of its obligations under this Lease. Items not considered reasonable wear and tear hereunder include the following for which Tenant shall bear the obligation for repair and restoration (except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees or agents), (i) excessively soiled, stained, worn or marked surfaces or finishes; (ii) damage, including holes in building surfaces (e.g., cabinets, doors, walls, ceilings and floors) caused by the installation or removal of Tenant’s trade fixtures, furnishings, decorations, equipment, alterations, utility inst a llations, security systems, communications systems (including cabling, wiring and conduits), displays and signs; (iii) damage to any component, fixture, hardware, system or component part thereof within the Premises, and any such damage to the Building, Phase or Project, caused by Tenant or its agents, contractors or employees, and not fully recovered by Landlord from insurance proceeds. Tenant shall not commit or allow any waste or damage to be committed on any portion of the Premises, Building, Phase or Project.
8.3. Failure to Maintain, Repair or Restore. The timely performance by Tenant of Tenant’s duties to maintain, repair and restore the Premises is essential to the preservation of Landlord’s property value and the security interests of Landlord’s mortgagee. If, upon expiration of the Term, Tenant has failed to fully perform its obligations under this Section 8 or Sections 9 or 11.2, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform any obligation of Tenant (notice to Tenant) as provided in Section 19.16 hereof, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord related thereto (including overtime or premium time labor charges as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion). Tenant shall pay to Landlord all costs, fees and penalties owing, due, paid or payable by Landlord to any lender or mortgagee as a result of Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Section 8 or Sections 9 or 11.2, and any fees, penalties, loss, costs, expenses or liabilities whether paid or accrued by Landlord as a result of Landlord’s failure to timely deliver all or a portion of the Premises for occupancy by one or more successor or replacement tenants to the extent such failure is due to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to perform hereunder. In addition, if Tenant fails to fully perform its obligations pursuant to this Section 13 or Sections 9 or 11.2 by the end of the Term, then for each day required by Landlord to perform such obligations (or each day that would reasonably be required by Landlord to perform such obligations if Landlord elected to do so), Tenant shall pay to Landlord as liquidated damages an amount equal to one thirtieth (1/30th) of the product of (i) the Default Percentage (as stated in the Basic Lease Information) and (ii) the monthly Rent due under this Lease during the last month of the Term (hereinafter referred to as the “ Liquidated Damages Amount”). The Liquidated Damages Amount is intended to compensated Landlord for any loss of rent incurred by Landlord during the period of time required by Landlord to perform Tenant’s unperformed obligations under this Section 8 and Sections 9 and 11.2 (or that would reasonably be required by Landlord to perform such obligations had Landlord elected to do so). Landlord and Tenant agree that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s actual damages for loss of rents or opportunity as a result of Tenant’s failure to complete its obligations pursuant to this Section 8 and Sections 9 and 11.2 would be difficult or impossible to determine because, inter alia, where a tenant has failed to perform such obligations, it is difficult for a landlord effectively to market that tenant’s premises to prospective tenants, and the Liquidated Damages Amount is the best estimate of the amount of damages Landlord would suffer in the nature of loss of rent or opportunity for any such failure by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall l imit Landlord’s other remedies pursuant to this Lease or by law with respect to losses other than loss of rent or opportunity, or waive or affect any of Tenant’s indemnity obligations under this Lease and Landlord’s rights to enforce those indemnity obligations. The payment of the Liquidated Damages Amount as liquidated damages is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 3275 or 3369, but is intended to constitute liquidated damages to Landlord pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1671.
8.4. Inspection of Premises. Landlord and Landlord’s agents, at all reasonable times, may enter the Premises to perform any construction related to the Premises, Building or Phase, to inspect, clean or repair the same, to inspect the performance by Tenant of the terms and conditions contained in this Lease, to affix reasonable signs and displays, to show the Premises to prospective purchasers, tenants and lenders, to post notices of non-responsibility and similar notices, and for all other purposes as Landlord shall reasonably deem necessary.
8.5. Liens. Tenant shall promptly pay and discharge all claims for work or labor done, supplies furnished or services rendered on behalf of Tenant and shall keep the Premises, Building, Phase and Project free and clear of all mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens in connection therewith. Landlord shall have the right to post or keep posted on the Premises, or in the immediate vicinity thereof, any notices of nonresponsibility for any construction, alteration or repair of the Premises by Tenant. If any such lien is filed, Landlord may, but shall not be required to,
take such action or pay such amount as may be necessary to remove such lien; and, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent any such amounts expended by Landlord within five (5) days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇ receives Landlord’s written request for payment.

Such improvements or replacement items must be submitted for Landlord’s written approval prior to installation, or Landlord may remove or replace such items at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. The trade fixtures, equipment and furniture shall remain Tenant’s property and shall be removed by Tenant prior to the expiration of this Lease. If Tenant fails to remove ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s trade fixtures, equipment and furnitu re prior to the termination of this Lease, Landlord may keep and use the foregoing items or remove and dispose any or all of those items at Tenant’s expense, and cause Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment and furniture to be stored or sold in accordance with applicable law. Prior to expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall repair, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, all damage caused to the Building or Premises as a result of the installation, operation, use or removal of Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment, furniture, or unauthorized improvements and replacements, and restore the Building and the Premises to their condition at the commencement of the Term.

All other alterations, additions and improvements shall remain the property of Tenant until termination of this Lease, at which time they shall be and become the property of Landlord. All altera tions, additions, improvements, repairs and restoration by Tenant hereinafter required or permitted shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner, incorporating materials of quality equal to or better than those replaced, with finishes comparable to and compatible with adjacent finishes within the Premises and the Building and in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, bylaws, regulations and orders of any federal, state, county, municipal or other public authority and of the insurers of the Building. In addition, all of Tenant’s alterations, additions and improvements shall be constructed in such a manner so as to (i) not unreasonably disturb or otherwise interfere with the use and occupancy of any other tenant of the Building, Phase or Project, (ii) protect by appropriate means and measures all components of the Premises, Building, Phase and Project from soiling or damage associated with Tenant’s work, and (iii) not impose any additional expense or delay upon Landlord in the constructio n of improvements to, or maintenance or operation of, the Building, Phase and/or Project. Tenant shall, reimburse Landlord for reviewing and approving or disapproving plans and specifications for any alterations proposed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Tenant shall require that any contractors used by Tenant carry a commercial liability insurance policy covering bodily injury in the amounts of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per person and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence, and covering property damage in the amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00). Landlord may increase the amount of insurance coverage required pursuant to this Section to reflect inflation, industry cost and recovery experience over time. Landlord may require proof of such insurance prior to commencement of any work on the Premises.

In addition, any notice required to be given by Landlord under this Lease shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under Section 1161 of the California Civil Code of Procedure. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00) for each notice of default given to Tenant under this Lease, which amount is the amount the parties reasonably estimate will compensate Landlord for the cost of giving such notice of default.
14.2. Landlord’s Remedies. Upon an Event of Default, Landlord shall have the following remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law, equity, statute or otherwise provided in this Lease, to which Landlord may resort cumulatively or in the alternative:
(a) Continue Lease. Landlord may continue this Lease in full force and effect, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession, and Landlord shall have the right to collect Rent when due. In such event, Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations), or any successor statute.
(b) Terminate Lease. Landlord may terminate ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s right to possession of the Premises at any time by giving written notice to that effect. Upon termination of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, at ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s sole cost and expense, to remove all of Tenant’s personal property from the Premises and store Tenant’s personal property on ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s behalf. Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant: (1) the worth at the time of award of unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable which had been earned at the time of termination; plus (2) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable which would have been payable after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of the Rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (3) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of the Rent loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (4) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom.
(c) Definition. The “worth at the time of award” of the amounts referred to in Subsections 14.2(b)(1), (2) and (3) is defined in California Civil Code Section 1951.2.
(e) Cumulative. Each right and remedy of Landlord provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord of any one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in this Lease, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Landlord of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.
(f) No Waiver. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to insist upon the strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right or remedy upon a default by Tenant under this Lease shall not constitute a waiver of any such term or default. In addition, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s acceptance of Rent shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time Landlord accepts such Rent. Efforts by Landlord to mitigate the damages caused by ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s breach of this Lease shall not be construed to be a waiver of Landlord’s right to recover damages under this Section 14. Nothing in this Section 14 affects the right of Landlord to indemnification by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in accordance with the terms of this Lease for any liability arising prior to the termination of this Lease for personal injuries or property damage.
15. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
15.1. Assignment and Subletting; Prohibition. Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, pledge or otherwise transfer this Lease, in whole or in part (each hereinafter referred to as an “assignment”), nor sublet or permit
occupancy by any party other than Tenant of all or any part of the Premises (each hereinafter referred to as a “sublet” or “subletting”), without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No assignment or subletting by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any obligation under this Lease, including ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligation to pay Base Rent and Additional Rent hereunder. Any purported assignment or subletting contrary to the provisions of this Lease without ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s prior written consent shall be void. The consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for obtaining Landlord’s consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. Landlord may consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting, or any amendment to or modification of this Lease with the assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or thei r consent thereto, and such action shall not relieve Tenant or any successor of Tenant of any liability under this Lease. As Additional Rent hereunder, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable legal fees and other expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any request by Tenant for consent to an assignment or subletting.
15.2. Information to be Furnished. If Tenant desires at any time to assign its interest in this Lease or sublet the Premises, Tenant shall first notify Landlord of its desire to do so and shall submit in writing to Landlord: (i) the name of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (ii) the nature of the proposed assignee’s or subtenant’s business to be conducted in the Premises; (iii) the terms and provisions of the proposed assignment or sublease, including the date upon which the assignment shall be effective or the commencement date of the sublease (hereinafter referred to as the “Transfer Effective Date”) and a copy of the proposed form of assignment or sublease; and (iv) such financial information, including financial statements, and other information as Landlord may reasonably request concerning the proposed assignee or subtenant.
15.3. Landlord’s Election. At any time within days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of the information specified in Section 15.2, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, elect to (i) terminate this Lease as to the space in the Premises that Tenant proposes to sublet; (ii) terminate this Lease as to entire Premises (available only if Tenant proposes to assign all of its interest in this Lease), (iii) consent to the proposed assignment or subletting by Tenant; or (iv) withhold its consent to the proposed assignment or subletting by ▇▇▇▇▇▇.
15.4. Termination. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease with respect to all or a portion of the Premises pursuant to Section 15.3(i) or (ii) above, this Lease shall terminate effective as of the Transfer Effective Date.
15.5. Withholding Consent. Without limiting other situations in which it may be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or sublease, Landlord and Tenant agree that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent in any one (1) or more of the following situations: (1) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the proposed subtenant or assignee or the proposed use of the Premises would detract from the status of the Building as a first-class office building, generate vehicle or foot traffic, parking or occupancy density materially in excess of the amount customary for the Building or the Project or result in a materially greater use of the elevator, janitorial, security or other Building services (e.g., HVAC, trash disposal and sanitary sewer flows) than is customary for the Project; (2) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the creditworthiness of the proposed subtenant or as signee does not meet the credit standards applied by Landlord in considering other tenants for the lease of space in the Project on comparable terms, or Tenant has failed to provide Landlord with reasonable proof of the creditworthiness of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (4) the proposed assignee or subtenant is a governmental entity, agency or department or the United States Post Office; or (5) the proposed subtenant or assignee is a then existing or prospective tenant of the Project. If Landlord fails to elect either of the alternatives within the day period referenced in Section 15.3, it shall be deemed that Landlord has refused its consent to the proposed assignment or sublease.
15.6. Bonus Rental. If, in connection with any assignment or sublease, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ receives rent or other consideration, either initially or over the term of the assignment or sublease, in excess of the Rent called for hereunder, or in case of the sublease of a portion of the Premises, in excess of such Rent fairly allocable to such portion, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent hereunder, fifty percent (50%) of the excess of each such payment of Rent or other consideration received by Tenant promptly after ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of such Rent or other consideration. To the extent that a subtenant or assignee pays costs or expenses normally paid by a landlord in connection with a lease of commercial office property located in Menlo Park or Palo Alto, or a sublandlord in connection with a sublease of office space in Menlo Park or Palo Alto, or the subtenant purchases goods or services from sublandlord or an affiliate of sublandlord for an amount in excess of the fair market value for such goods or
services, such costs incurred or amounts expended shall be deemed to be “other consideration” for purposes of calculating excess Rent due to Landlord hereunder.
15.7. Scope. The prohibition against assigning or subletting contained in this Section 15 shall be construed to include a prohibition against any assignment or subletting by operation of law. If this Lease is assigned, or if the underlying beneficial interest of Tenant is transferred, or if the Premises or any part thereof is sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the Rent due herein and apportion any excess rent so collected in accordance with the terms of Section 15.6, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions regarding assignment and subletting, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance, by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. No assignment or su bletting shall affect the continuing primary liability of Tenant (which, following assignment, shall be joint and several with the assignee), and Tenant shall not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.
15.8. Executed Counterparts. No sublease or assignment shall be valid, nor shall any subtenant or assignee take possession of the Premises, until a fully executed counterpart of the sublease or assignment has been delivered to Landlord and Landlord, Tenant and the applicable assignee or subtenant have entered into a consent to assignment or sublease in a form acceptable to Landlord.
15.9. Transfer of a Majority Interest. If Tenant is a non-publicly traded corporation, the transfer (as a consequence of a single transaction or any number of separate transactions) of fifty percent (50%) or more or of a controlling interest or the beneficial ownership interest of the voting stock of Tenant issued and outstanding as of the Effective Date shall constitute an assignment hereunder for which ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s prior written consent is required. If Tenant is a partnership, limited liability company, trust or an unincorporated association, the transfer of a controlling or majority interest therein shall constitute an assignment hereunder for which ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s prior written consent is required.
15.10. Indemnity. If Landlord reasonably withholds its consent to any proposed assignment or sublease, Tenant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Landlord against and from any and all loss, liability, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) resulting from any claims that may be made against Landlord by the proposed assignee or sublessee or by any brokers or any persons claiming a commission or similar compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of law, including, without limitation, California Civil Code Section 1995.310, the provisions of which Tenant hereby waives, Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease, in the event Landlord is determined to have unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent to a proposed sublease or assignment.
15.11. Waiver. Notwithstanding any assignment or sublease, or any indulgences, waivers or extensions of time granted by Landlord to any assignee or sublessee, or failure by Landlord to take action against any assignee or sublessee, Tenant waives notice of any default of any assignee or sublessee and agrees that Landlord may, at its option, proceed against Tenant without having taken action against or joined such assignee or subleases, except that Tenant shall have the benefit of any indulgences, waivers and extensions of time granted to any such assignee or sublessee.
15.12. Release. Whenever Landlord conveys its interest in the Phase and/or Building, Landlord shall be automatically released from the further performance of covenants on the part of Landlord herein contained, and from any and all further liability, obligations, costs and expenses, demands, causes of action, claims or judgments arising from or growing out of, or connected with this Lease after the effective date of said release. The effective date of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s release shall be the date the assignee executes an assumption agreement pursuant to which the assignee expressly agrees to assume all of Landlord’s obligations, duties, responsibilities and liabilities with respect to this Lease. If requested, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall execute a form of release and such other documentation as may be required to further effect the provisions of this Section 15.
16. ESTOPPEL, ATTORNMENT AND SUBORDINATION
16.1. Estoppel. Within ten (10) days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s written request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, in recordable form, a certificate to Landlord and any existing or proposed mortgagee or purchaser certifying, among other things, (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect or, if modified, stating the nature of the modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect, (ii) the date to
which the Rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if any; (iii) that to Tenant’s knowledge, there are no uncured defaults on the part of Landlord or Tenant under this Lease, or if there are uncured defaults on the part of Landlord or Tenant, stating the nature of the uncured defaults; (iv) that Tenant has no right to purchase, option or right of first refusal to purchase all or any portion of the Building, Phase or Project; and (v) any other statement or provision reasonably requested by Landlord or any existing or proposed mortgagee or prospective purchaser. Any such certificate may be relied upon by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and any mortgagee, beneficiary, ground or underlying lessor, purchaser or prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Project, Phase and/or Building or any interest therein. Tenant’s failure to timely deliver said statement shall be conclusive upon Tenant that: (i) this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord; (i i) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance and Tenant has no right of offset, counterclaim or deduction against Rent hereunder; (iii) Tenant has no right to purchase, option or right of first refusal to purchase all or any portion of the Building, Phase or Project, and (iv) no more than one month’s Base Rent has been paid in advance. In addition, Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such certificate in the name of and on behalf of Tenant if Tenant fails to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such certificate within ten (10) days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s written request therefor.
16.2. Attornment. In the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of, or in the event of exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by Landlord or its successors or assigns that encumbers the Phase or the Building, or any part thereof, or in the event of a termination of any ground lease, if any, Tenant, if so requested, shall attorn to the purchaser upon such foreclosure or sale or upon any grant of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease.
16.3. Subordination. This Lease is subject and subordinate to all ground and underlying leases, mortgages and deeds of trust which now or may hereafter encumber the Phase, Building or Premises, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. Within ten (10) days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s written request therefor, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall execute any and all documents required by Landlord, the lessor under any ground or underlying lease (“Lessor”), or the holder or holders of any mortgage or deed of trust (“Holder”), in order to make this Lease subordinate to the lien of any lease, mortgage or deed of trust, as the case may be. In addition, if Lessor or Holder desires to make this Lease prior and superior to the ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust, then, within seven (7) days after Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall execute, have acknowledged and deliver to Landl ord any and all documents or instruments, in the form presented to Tenant, which Landlord, Lessor or Holder deems necessary or desirable to make this Lease prior and superior to the lease, mortgage or deed of trust.
17. NOTICES. All notices required to be given hereunder shall be in writing and given by United States registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested; personal delivery; electronic mail (e.g., facsimile); or any commercial overnight courier service (e.g., FedEx); and sent to the appropriate address indicated in the Basic Lease Information or at such other place or places as either Landlord or Tenant may, from time to time, respectively, designate in a written notice given to the other. Notices that are sent by electronic mail shall be deemed to have been given upon receipt. Notices which are mailed shall be deemed to have been given when seventy-two (72) hours have elapsed after the notice was deposited in the United States mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid, addressed to the party to be served. Notices that are sent by commercial overnight courier shall be deemed to have been given on the next business day after the notice was del ivered to the commercial overnight courier.
18. SUCCESSORS BOUND. This Lease and each of the covenants and conditions contained herein shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and assigns, subject to the provisions hereof. Whenever in this Lease a reference is made to Landlord, such reference shall be deemed to refer to the person in whom the interest of Landlord shall be vested, and Landlord shall have no obligation hereunder as to any claim arising after the transfer of its interest in the Premises. Any successor or assignee of Tenant who accepts an assignment or the benefit of this Lease and enters into possession or enjoyment hereunder shall thereby assume and agree to perform and be bound by the covenants and conditions contained in this Lease. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed in any manner to give a right of assignment to Tenant without the written consent of Landlord.
19. MISCELLANEOUS
19.1. Waiver. No waiver of any default or breach of any covenant by either party hereunder shall be implied from any omission by either party to take action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect any default other than the default specified in the waiver, and said
waiver shall be operative only for the time and to the extent therein stated. Waivers of any covenant, term or condition contained herein by either party shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or condition. The consent or approval by either party to or of any act by the other party shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary a party’s consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar acts.
19.2. Easements. Landlord reserves the right to grant easements on the Phase and dedicate for public and private use portions thereof without Tenant’s consent; provided, however, that no such grant or dedication shall materially interfere with ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s use of the Premises. From time to time, and upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s demand, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, in accordance with Landlord’s instructions, any and all documents, instruments, maps or plats necessary to effectuate Tenant’s covenants hereunder.
19.4. Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the Rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease.
19.5. Limitation of Landlord’s Liability. The obligations of Landlord under this Lease do not constitute personal obligations of the individual partners, members, directors, officers or shareholders of Landlord, and Tenant shall look solely to the real estate that and to no other assets of Landlord for satisfaction of any liability in respect of this Lease and will not seek recourse against the individual partners, members, directors, officers or shareholders of Landlord or any of their personal assets for such satisfaction.
19.6. Time. Time is of the essence of every provision hereof.
19.7. Attorneys’ Fees. In any action or proceeding which Landlord or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ brings against the other party in order to enforce its respective rights hereunder or by reason of the other party failing to comply with all of its obligations hereunder, whether for declaratory or other relief, the unsuccessful party therein agrees to pay all costs incurred by the prevailing party therein, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to be fixed by the court, and said costs and attorneys’ fees shall be made a part of the judgment in said action. A party shall be deemed to have prevailed in any action (without limiting the definition of prevailing party) if such action is dismissed upon the payment by the other party of the amounts allegedly due or the performance of obligations which were allegedly not performed, or if such party obtains substantially the relief sought by such party in the action, regardless or whether such action is prosecuted to judgment.
19.8. Captions and Section Numbers. The captions, section numbers and table of contents appearing in this Lease are inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or intent or such sections or sections of this Lease nor in any way affect this Lease.
19.9. Severability. If any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall, to any extent, be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.
19.10. Applicable Law. This Lease, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
19.11. Submission of Lease. The submission of this document for examination and negotiation does not constitute an offer to lease, or a reservation of or option for leasing the Premises. This document shall become effective and binding only upon execution and delivery hereof by Landlord and ▇▇▇▇▇▇. No act or omission of any employee or agent of Landlord or of Landlord’s broker or agent shall alter, change or modify any of the provisions in this Lease.
19.12. Holding Over. Should Tenant, or any of its successors in interest, hold over in the Premises, or any part thereof, after the expiration of the Term unless otherwise agreed to in writing, such holding over shall constitute and be construed as tenancy from month-to-month only, at a monthly rent equal to the greater of (i) the Base Rent owed during the final year of the Term, as the same may have been extended, together with the Additional Rent due under this Lease, or (ii) fair market rent for the Premises, as reasonably determined by Landlord. The inclusion of the preceding sentence shall not be construed as Landlord’s permission for Tenant to
hold over. In addition, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Landlord for all losses, expenses and damages, including any consequential damages incurred by Landlord, as a result of Tenant failing to surrender the Premises to Landlord and vacate the Premises by the end of the Term.

19.15. Broker. Tenant warrants that it has had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent other than the broker(s) referenced in the Basic Lease Information (“Broker”) in connection with the negotiation of this Lease, and that it knows of no other real estate broker or agent who is entitled to any commission or finder’s fee in connection with this Lease. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, costs and expenses (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s dealings with any real estate broker or agent other than ▇▇▇▇▇▇.
19.16. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Right to Perform. Upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to perform any obligation of Tenant hereunder, including without limitation, payment of Tenant’s insurance premiums, charges of contractors who have supplied materials or labor to the Premises, etc., Landlord shall have the right to perform such obligation of Tenant on behalf of Tenant and/or to make payment on behalf of Tenant to such parties. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s performing such obligation on ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s behalf, including reimbursement of any amounts that may be expended by Landlord, plus interest at the Interest Rate.
19.17. Nonliability. Landlord shall not be in default hereunder or be liable for any damages directly or indirectly resulting from, nor shall the rental herein reserved be abated by reason of, (i) the interruption of use of the Premises as a result of the installation of any equipment in connection with the use, operation or maintenance of the Premises, Building, Phase and/or Project, (ii) any failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any services required to be provided by Landlord when such failure or delay is caused by accident or any condition beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or by the making of necessary repairs or improvements to the Premises, Building, Phase or Project, or (iii) the limitation, curtailment, rationing or restriction on use of water or electricity, gas or any other form of energy or any other service or utility whatsoever serving the Premises, Building, Phase or Project. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to remedy any interruption in the furnishing of such services.
19.18. Financial Statements. Within ten (10) days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s written request, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s most current quarterly and annual financial statements audited by ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s certified public accountant or, if audited financial statements are not available, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s financial statements certified to be true and correct by ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s chief financial officer. Tenant’s annual financial statements shall not be dated more than twelve (12) months prior to the date of Landlord’s request.
19.19. Entire Agreement. This Lease sets forth all covenants, promises, agreements, conditions and understandings between Landlord and Tenant concerning the Premises, Building, Phase and Project, and there are no covenants, promises, agreements, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between Landlord and Tenant other than as are herein set forth. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, no subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant unless reduced to writing and signed by Landlord and Tenant.

Arbitration hearing(s) shall be conducted in Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ County California. Any relevant evidence, including hearsay, shall be admitted by the arbitrator if it is the sort of evidence upon which responsible persons are accustomed to rely in the conduct of serious affairs, regardless of the admiss ibility of such evidence in a court of law; however, the arbitrator shall apply California law relating to privileges and work product. In rendering his or her award, the arbitrator shall set forth the reasons for his or her decision. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be paid in the manner allocated by the arbitrator. This agreement to arbitrate any dispute concerning the findings of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s audit shall be specifically enforceable under the prevailing arbitration law.

25.3 Determination of Fair Market Rent.
(a) Agreement on Rent. For the purposes of this Section, the “Initial Fair Market Rent” means the monthly base rent (i.e., rent other than operating expenses, taxes and insurance premiums), expected to prevail as of the commencement of an Extension Term for the first year of that Extension Term with respect to leases of office space within buildings located in the “Designated Area” (defined as the Menlo Park and Palo Alto areas other than the Sand Hill Road area, Stanford Research Park and the Palo Alto central business district) of a quality and with interior improvements, parking, site amenities, building systems, location, identity and access all comparable to that of the Premises, for a term equal to the Extension Term. The term “Average Annual Percentage” shall mean the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ annual percentage increase in the monthly base rent (i.e., rent other than operating expenses, taxes and insurance premiums) expected to prevail as of the commencement of that particular Extension Term with respect to leases of office space within buildings located in the Designated Area of a quality and with interior improvements, parking, site amenities, building systems, location, identity and access all comparable to that of the Premises, for a term equal to the Extension Term). Within fifteen (15) days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of Tenant’s Extension Notice, by written notice to Tenant (“Landlord’s Rent Notice”), Landlord shall advise Tenant as to Landlord’s determination of the Initial Fair Market Rent and Average Annual Percentage. If Tenant disagrees with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s determination, Tenant shall advise Landlord as to Tenant’s determination of Initial Fair Market Rent and Average Annual Percentage by written notice (“Tenant’s Rent Notice”) within f ifteen (15) days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of Landlord’s Rent Notice. If Tenant fails to deliver ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Rent Notice to Tenant within the time period provided above, Tenant shall be bound by Landlord’s determination of the Initial Fair Market Rent and Average Annual Percentage as set forth in Landlord’s Rent Notice. If Tenant shall timely deliver to Landlord Tenant’s Rent Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to reach agreement as to the Initial Fair Market Rent and Average Annual Percentage within fifteen (15) days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of Tenant’s Rent Notice.
(b) Selection of Appraisers. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree as to the amount of the Initial Fair Market Rent and Average Annual Percentage within the aforementioned fifteen (15) day period as evidenced by a written amendment to this Lease executed by them, then, within ten (10)days after the expiration of the fifteen (15) day period, Landlord and Tenant shall each, at its sole cost and by giving notice to the other party, appoint a competent and disinterested real estate appraiser with membership in the Appraisal Institute and M.A.I. designation and with at least five (5) years’ full-time commercial appraisal experience in the Menlo Park and Palo Alto areas to determine the Initial Fair Market Rent and Average Annual Percentage. If either Landlord or Tenant does not appoint an appraiser within ten (10) days after the other party has given notice of the name of its appraiser, the single appraiser appointed shall be the sole appraiser and shall determine the Initial Fair Market Rent and Average Annual Percentage. If Landlord and Tenant as stated in this Section appoint two (2) appraisers, they shall attempt to select a third appraiser meeting the qualifications stated in this Section within ten (10) days. If they are unable to agree on the third appraiser, either Landlord or Tenant, by giving ten (10) days’ notice to the other party, can apply to the then president of the real estate board of the county in which the Building is located, or to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the county in which the Building is located, for the selection of a third appraiser 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 appraiser and of paying the third appraiser’s fee. The third
appraiser, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either Landlord or Tenant.
(c) Value Determined By Three (3) Appraisers. The appraisers shall determine the Initial Fair Market Rent and Average Annual Percentage by using the “Market Comparison Approach” with the relevant market being office buildings located in the Designated Area. Within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third appraiser, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s appraiser shall arrange for the simultaneous delivery to Landlord of written appraisals from each of the appraisers and the three (3) appraisals shall be added together and their total divided by three (3); the resulting quotients shall be the Initial Fair Market Rent and Average Annual Percentage. If, however, the low appraisal and/or the high appraisal of either the Initial Fair Market Rent or the Average Annual Percentage are/is more than ten percent (10%) lower and/or higher than the middle appraisal, the low appraisal and/or the high appraisal shall be disregarded. If only one (1) appraisal is disregarded, the remaining two (2) appraisals shall be added together and their total divided by two (2); the resulting quotients shall be the Initial Fair Market Rent and Average Annual Percentage. If both the low appraisal and the high appraisal of either the Initial Fair Market Rent or the Average Annual Percentage are disregarded as stated in this Section, the middle appraisal shall be the Initial Fair Market Rent or Average Annual Percentage, as applicable.
25.4 Notice to Landlord and Tenant. After the monthly Base Rent for an Extension Term has been set, Landlord and Tenant immediately shall execute an amendment to the Lease stating the monthly Base Rent.

Re: Lease of ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Dear ▇▇▇▇▇▇:
Reference is made to that certain Menlo Oaks Corporate Center Standard Business Lease (▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇) (the “Lease”) dated as of August 18, 1998, by and between Menlo Oaks Partner’s, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”), and E*Trade Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).

Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of the Modification Work Plans. Tenant shall complete the Modification Work by the expiration of the Term; provided, however, if the Lease is terminated prior to th e expiration of the Term, Tenant shall commence the Modification Work within ten (10) days after Landlord approves the Modification Work Plans and complete the Modification Work within ninety (90) days after the termination of the Lease.
3. Additional Deposit. Within ten (10) days after the execution of this Letter Agreement, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an additional deposit (the “Additional Deposit”) in the amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00). The Additional Deposit shall secure the performance of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Letter Agreement, including Tenant’s obligation to perform the Modification Work.
a. Delivery of Letter of Credit. In lieu of depositing the Additional Deposit in cash, Tenant may deliver to Landlord a clean, irrevocable and unconditional letter of credit (the “LC”) in compliance with the terms, provisions and requirements of this Section 3, in the amount of the Additional Deposit and issued by a major California financial institution reasonably acceptable to Landlord.
b. Term and Renewal of Letter of Credit. The LC shall be for a term of one (1) year and shall be automatically renewed each year for an additional twelve (12) months from the date of expiration of the LC through the ninetieth (90th) day after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. Tenant shall renew, extend or replace the LC as necessary and deliver written evidence thereof to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the LC so that a valid LC which complies with each requirement of this Section 3 is in effect during the entire period required hereby. If Tenant fails to so renew, extend or replace the LC and deliver such written evidence to Landlord, and such failure continues for a period of five (5) days after the date such evidence is due to Landlord, Landlord shall be entitled to immediately draw the entire am ount of the LC, and hold such sum as security deposit for ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s faithful performance of its obligations under this Letter Agreement.

4. RENT
4.1. Base Rent. The monthly base rent (“Base Rent”) shall be the amount set forth in the Basic Lease Information, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4.2. Tenant shall pay the Base Rent to Landlord in advance upon the first day of each calendar month of the Term, at Landlord’s address or at such other place designated by Landlord in a notice to Tenant, without any prior demand therefor and without any deduction, abatement or setoff
whatsoever. If the Term shall commence or end on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, then Tenant shall pay, on the Commencement Date and first day of the last calendar month, a pro rata portion of the Base Rent, prorated on a per diem basis, with respect to the portions of the fractional calendar month included in the Term. Concurrently with executing this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Rent due for the first full calendar month during the Term along with the Security Deposit as provided in Section 4.5 below.
4.2. Adjustment to Base Rent. The Base Rent shall be adjusted as provided in the Rider attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
4.3. Additional Rent. All charges required to be paid by Tenant hereunder, including payments for insurance, Impositions, Operating Expenses and any other amounts payable hereunder, shall be considered additional rent (“Additional Rent”) for the purposes of this Lease, and Tenant shall pay Additional Rent to Landlord upon written demand by Landlord or otherwise as provided in this Lease. The term “ Rent” shall mean Base Rent and Additional Rent.
4.4. Late Payment. If any installment of Rent is not paid, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of such delinquent payment of Rent in addition to the installment of Rent then owing, regardless of whether or not a notice of default or notice of termination has been given by Landlord. This provision shall not relieve Tenant from payment of Rent at the time and in the manner herein specified.
4.5. Interest. In addition to the imposition of a late payment charge pursuant to Section 4.3 above, any Rent that is not paid due shall bear interest from the date due until the date paid at the rate (the “Interest Rate”) that is the lesser of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s acceptance of any interest payments on any past due Rent shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of Tenant’s default with respect to the amount of Rent past due or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the rights and remedies available to Landlord under this Lease or at law.
4.6. Security Deposit. Upon executing this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord cash (the “Security Deposit”) in the amount specified as the Security Deposit in the Basic Lease Information.

If Landlord does so apply all or any portion of the Security De posit, Tenant, upon written demand by Landlord, shall immediately pay to Landlord a sufficient amount in cash to restore the Security Deposit to the full original amount. Tenant’s failure to pay to Landlord a sufficient amount in cash to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount within five (5) days after receipt of such demand shall constitute an Event of Default. Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. Within thirty (30) days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has then performed all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit to Tenant.

5.4. Installment Election. In the case of any Impositions which may be evidenced by improvement or other bonds or which may be paid in annual or other periodic installments, Landlord shall elect to cause such bonds to be issued or such assessment to be paid in installments over the maximum period permitted by law.

On or before the first day of each month during the ensuing calendar year Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in advance, one-twelfth (1/12) of the estimated amount; provided however, if Landlord fails to notify Tenant of the estimated amount of Tenant’s share of Operating Expenses for the ensuing calendar year prior to the end of the current calendar year, Tenant shall be required to continue to pay to Landlord each month in advance Tenant’s estimated share of Operating Expenses on the basis of the amount due for the immediately prior month until ten (10) days after Landlord not ifies Tenant of the estimated amount of Tenant’s share of Operating Expenses for the ensuing calendar year. If at any time it appears to Landlord that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s share of Operating Expenses payable for the current calendar year will vary from Landlord’s estimate, Landlord may give notice to Tenant of Landlord’s revised estimate for the calendar year, and subsequent payments by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ for the calendar year shall be based on the revised estimate.
7.6. Annual Adjustment. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each calendar year during the Term, or as soon after the one hundred twenty (120) day period as practicable, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of the adjustment to the Operating Expenses for the prior calendar year. If, on the basis of the statement, Tenant owes an amount that is less than the estimated payments for the prior calendar year previously made by Tenant, Landlord shall apply the excess to the next payment of Operating Expenses due. If, on the basis of the statement, Tenant owes an amount that is more than the amount of estimated payments made by the Tenant for
the prior calendar year, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery of the statement. The year end statement shall be binding upon Tenant unless Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of any objection thereto within ninety (90) days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of the year end statement. In addition, if, after the end of any calendar year or any annual adjustment of Operating Expenses for a calendar year, Operating Expenses are incurred or billed to Landlord that are attributable to any period within the Term (e.g., sewer district flow fees), Landlord shall notify Tenant of its share of such additional Operating Expenses and Tenant shall pay such amount to Landlord within ten (10) days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s written request therefor.
7.7. Less Than Full Occupancy. In the event the Building, Phase or Project are not fully occupied during any year of the Term, an adjustment shall be made in computing Operating Expenses for such year so that the same shall be computed for such year as though the Building, Phase and Project had been fully occupied during such year.
7.8. Special Services.
(a) Utilities. In the event Landlord provides additional utilities, heating, air conditioning, trash removal and/or cleaning services to Tenant beyond such standard services related to the operation and management similar business office parks located in Menlo Park/Palo Alto areas, or at times other than during Business Hours (as defined in the Basic Lease Information), Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable charge for such special services as Additional Rent.

Landlord may also charge Tenant for costs of sanitary sewer or trash removal occasioned by ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s excessive consumption of such services. All such charges shall be reasonably determined by Landlord and promptly paid by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent.
8. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
8.1. Landlord Repairs and Maintenance. Landlord shall maintain those portions of the Building, Lot, Phase and Project that are owned by Landlord and not leased to tenants in the Project or required to be maintained by any tenants in the Project consistent with the standards applied by landlords of similar Class A business office parks located in the Menlo Park and Palo Alto areas.
8.2. Tenant Repairs and Maintenance. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall at all times during the Term keep, maintain and preserve the Premises and all parts, components, systems, fixtures, hardware and finishes of and in the Premises in a first class, clean, safe and sanitary order, condition and repair, excepting only insured casualty to the extent of the insurance proceeds received by Landlord. Tenant shall comply with all applicable manufacturer’s specifications and recommendations and best industry practices in connection with cleaning, protecting, servicing, maintaining and repairing the Premises and all of the parts, components, systems, fixtures, hardware and finishes in the Premises in order to preserve and achieve the maximum aesthetic and economically serviceable life of the Premises and the improvements contained therein. All repairs, replacements and restorations made by Tenant s hall be performed promptly as required, in a good and workmanlike manner, employing materials of equal or better quality, serviceability and utility to those items or parts being replaced, with surface finishes (including color, texture and general appearance) comparable and compatible with adjacent surfaces, to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord and in compliance with all applicable federal, state or local laws, ordinances, regulations and orders and the requirements of any insurer of the Building. Tenant shall, at ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s own expense, immediately replace all glass in the Premises that may be broken during the Term with glass at least equal to the specification and quality of the glass being replaced. Upon expiration of the Term, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as received, reasonable wear and tear, damage by fire or other insured casualty to the extent of insurance proceeds received by Landlord excepted. The term “reasonable wear and tear” a s used herein shall mean wear and tear which manifests itself solely through normal intensity of use and passage of time consistent with the employment of commercially prudent measures to protect finishes and components from damage and excessive wear, the application of regular and appropriate preventative maintenance practices and procedures, routine cleaning and servicing, waxing, polishing, adjusting, repair, refurbishment and replacement at a standard of appearance and utility and as often as appropriate for Class A corporate and professional office occupancies in the Palo Alto/Menlo Park office market. The term “reasonable wear and tear”
would thus encompass the natural fading of painted surfaces, fabric and materials over time, and carpet wear caused by normal foot traffic. The term “reasonable wear and tear” shall not include any damage or deterioration that could have been prevented by ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s employment of ordinary prudence, care and diligence in the occupancy and use of the Premises and the performance of all of its obligations under this Lease. Items not considered reasonable wear and tear hereunder include the following for which Tenant shall bear the obligation for repair and restoration (except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees or agents), (i) excessively soiled, stained, worn or marked surfaces or finishes; (ii) damage, including holes in building surfaces (e.g., cabinets, doors, walls, ceilings and floors) caused by the installation or removal of Tenant’s trade fixtures, furnishings, decorations, equipment, alterations, utility inst a llations, security systems, communications systems (including cabling, wiring and conduits), displays and signs; (iii) damage to any component, fixture, hardware, system or component part thereof within the Premises, and any such damage to the Building, Phase or Project, caused by Tenant or its agents, contractors or employees, and not fully recovered by Landlord from insurance proceeds. Tenant shall not commit or allow any waste or damage to be committed on any portion of the Premises, Building, Phase or Project.
8.3. Failure to Maintain, Repair or Restore. The timely performance by Tenant of Tenant’s duties to maintain, repair and restore the Premises is essential to the preservation of Landlord’s property value and the security interests of Landlord’s mortgagee. If, upon expiration of the Term, Tenant has failed to fully perform its obligations under this Section 8 or Sections 9 or 11.2, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform any obligation of Tenant (notice to Tenant) as provided in Section 19.16 hereof, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord related thereto (including overtime or premium time labor charges as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion). Tenant shall pay to Landlord all costs, fees and penalties owing, due, paid or payable by Landlord to any lender or mortgagee as a result of Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Section 8 or Sections 9 or 11.2, and any fees, penalties, loss, costs, expenses or liabilities whether paid or accrued by Landlord as a result of Landlord’s failure to timely deliver all or a portion of the Premises for occupancy by one or more successor or replacement tenants to the extent such failure is due to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to perform hereunder. In addition, if Tenant fails to fully perform its obligations pursuant to this Section 13 or Sections 9 or 11.2 by the end of the Term, then for each day required by Landlord to perform such obligations (or each day that would reasonably be required by Landlord to perform such obligations if Landlord elected to do so), Tenant shall pay to Landlord as liquidated damages an amount equal to one thirtieth (1/30th) of the product of (i) the Default Percentage (as stated in the Basic Lease Information) and (ii) the monthly Rent due under this Lease during the last month of the Term (hereinafter referred to as the “ Liquidated Damages Amount”). The Liquidated Damages Amount is intended to compensated Landlord for any loss of rent incurred by Landlord during the period of time required by Landlord to perform Tenant’s unperformed obligations under this Section 8 and Sections 9 and 11.2 (or that would reasonably be required by Landlord to perform such obligations had Landlord elected to do so). Landlord and Tenant agree that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s actual damages for loss of rents or opportunity as a result of Tenant’s failure to complete its obligations pursuant to this Section 8 and Sections 9 and 11.2 would be difficult or impossible to determine because, inter alia, where a tenant has failed to perform such obligations, it is difficult for a landlord effectively to market that tenant’s premises to prospective tenants, and the Liquidated Damages Amount is the best estimate of the amount of damages Landlord would suffer in the nature of loss of rent or opportunity for any such failure by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall limit Landlord’s other remedies pursuant to this Lease or by law with respect to losses other than loss of rent or opportunity, or waive or affect any of Tenant’s indemnity obligations under this Lease and Landlord’s rights to enforce those indemnity obligations. The payment of the Liquidated Damages Amount as liquidated damages is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 3275 or 3369, but is intended to constitute liquidated damages to Landlord pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1671.
8.4. Inspection of Premises. Landlord and Landlord’s agents, at all reasonable times, may enter the Premises to perform any construction related to the Premises, Building or Phase, to inspect, clean or repair the same, to inspect the performance by Tenant of the terms and conditions contained in this Lease, to affix reasonable signs and displays, to show the Premises to prospective purchasers, tenants and lenders, to post notices of non-responsibility and similar notices, and for all other purposes as Landlord shall reasonably deem necessary.
8.5. Liens. Tenant shall promptly pay and discharge all claims for work or labor done, supplies furnished or services rendered on behalf of Tenant and shall keep the Premises, Building, Phase and Project free and clear of all mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens in connection therewith. Landlord shall have the right to post or keep posted on the Premises, or in the immediate vicinity thereof, any notices of nonresponsibility for any construction, alteration or repair of the Premises by Tenant. If any such lien is filed, Landlord may, but shall not be required to,
take such action or pay such amount as may be necessary to remove such lien; and, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent any such amounts expended by Landlord within five (5) days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇ receives Landlord’s written request for payment.

Tenant shall, reimburse Landlord for reviewing and approving or disapproving plans and specifications for any alterations proposed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Tenant shall require that any contractors used by Tenant carry a commercial liability insurance policy covering bodily injury in the amounts of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per person and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence, and covering property damage in the amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00).

Upon termination of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, at ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s sole cost and expense, to remove all of Tenant’s personal property from the Premises and store Tenant’s personal property on ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s behalf. Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant: (1) the worth at the time of award of unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable which had been earned at the time of termination; plus (2) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable which would have been payable after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of the Rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (3) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of the Rent loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (4) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom.
(c) Definition. The “worth at the time of award” of the amounts referred to in Subsections 14.2(b)(1), (2) and (3) is defined in California Civil Code Section 1951.2.

The exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord of any one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in this Lease, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Landlord of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.
(f) No Waiver. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to insist upon the strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right or remedy upon a default by Tenant under this Lease shall not constitute a waiver of any such term or default.

Efforts by Landlord to mitigate the damages caused by ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s breach of this Lease shall not be construed to be a waiver of Landlord’s right to recover damages under this Section 14. Nothing in this Section 14 affects the right of Landlord to indemnification by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in accordance with the terms of this Lease for any liability arising prior to the termination of this Lease for personal injuries or property damage.

No assignment or subletting by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any obligation under this Lease, including ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligation to pay Base Rent and Additional Rent hereunder. Any purported assignment or subletting contrary to the provisions of this Lease without ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s prior written consent shall be void.

Landlord may consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting, or any amendment to or modification of this Lease with the assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or thei r consent thereto, and such action shall not relieve Tenant or any successor of Tenant of any liability under this Lease. As Additional Rent hereunder, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable legal fees and other expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any request by Tenant for consent to an assignment or subletting.

15.5. Withholding Consent. Without limiting other situations in which it may be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or sublease, Landlord and Tenant agree that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent in any one (1) or more of the following situations: (1) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the proposed subtenant or assignee or the proposed use of the Premises would detract from the status of the Building as a first-class office building, generate vehicle or foot traffic, parking or occupancy density materially in excess of the amount customary for the Building or the Project or result in a materially greater use of the elevator, janitorial, security or other Building services (e.g., HVAC, trash disposal and sanitary sewer flows) than is customary for the Project; (2) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the creditworthiness of the proposed subtenant or as signee does not meet the credit standards applied by Landlord in considering other tenants for the lease of space in the Project on comparable terms, or Tenant has failed to provide Landlord with reasonable proof of the creditworthiness of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (4) the proposed assignee or subtenant is a governmental entity, agency or department or the United States Post Office; or (5) the proposed subtenant or assignee is a then existing or prospective tenant of the Project. If Landlord fails to elect either of the alternatives within the day period referenced in Section 15.3, it shall be deemed that Landlord has refused its consent to the proposed assignment or sublease.
15.6. Bonus Rental. If, in connection with any assignment or sublease, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ receives rent or other consideration, either initially or over the term of the assignment or sublease, in excess of the Rent called for hereunder, or in case of the sublease of a portion of the Premises, in excess of such Rent fairly allocable to such portion, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent hereunder, fifty percent (50%) of the excess of each such payment of Rent or other consideration received by Tenant promptly after Tenant’s receipt of such Rent or other costs or expenses normally paid by a landlord in connection with a lease of commercial office property located in Menlo Park or Palo Alto, or a sublandlord in connection with a sublease of office space in Menlo Park or Palo Alto, or the subtenant purchases goods or services from sublandlord or an affiliate of sublandlord for an amount in excess of the fair market value for such goods or services, such costs incurred or amounts expended shall be deemed to be “other consideration” for purposes of calculating excess Rent due to Landlord hereunder.
15.7. Scope. The prohibition against assigning or subletting contained in this Section 15 shall be construed to include a prohibition against any assignment or subletting by operation of law. If this Lease is assigned, or if the underlying beneficial interest of Tenant is transferred, or if the Premises or any part thereof is sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the Rent due herein and apportion any excess rent so collected in accordance with the terms of Section 15.6, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions regarding assignment and subletting, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance, by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. No assignment or su bletting shall affect the continuing primary liability of Tenant (which, following assignment, shall be joint and several with the assignee), and Tenant shall not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.
15.8. Executed Counterparts. No sublease or assignment shall be valid, nor shall any subtenant or assignee take possession of the Premises, until a fully executed counterpart of the sublease or assignment has been delivered to Landlord and Landlord, Tenant and the applicable assignee or subtenant have entered into a consent to assignment or sublease in a form acceptable to Landlord.
15.9. Transfer of a Majority Interest. If Tenant is a non-publicly traded corporation, the transfer (as a consequence of a single transaction or any number of separate transactions) of fifty percent (50%) or more or of a controlling interest or the beneficial ownership interest of the voting stock of Tenant issued and outstanding as of the Effective Date shall constitute an assignment hereunder for which ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s prior written consent is required. If Tenant is a partnership, limited liability company, trust or an unincorporated association, the transfer of a controlling or majority interest therein shall constitute an assignment hereunder for which ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s prior written consent is required.
15.10. Indemnity. If Landlord reasonably withholds its consent to any proposed assignment or sublease, Tenant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Landlord against and from any and all loss, liability, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) resulting from any claims that may be made. against Landlord by the proposed assignee or sublessee or by any brokers or any persons claiming a commission or similar compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of law, including, without limitation, California Civil Code Section 1995.310, the provisions of which Tenant hereby waives, Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease, in the event Landlord is determined to have unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent to a proposed sublease or assignment,
15.11. Waiver. Notwithstanding any assignment or sublease, or any indulgences, waivers or extensions of time granted by Landlord to any assignee or sublessee, or failure by Landlord to take action against any assignee or sublessee, Tenant waives notice of any default of any assignee or sublessee and agrees that Landlord may, at its option, proceed against Tenant without having taken action against or joined such assignee or subleases, except that Tenant shall have the benefit of any indulgences, waivers and extensions of time granted to any such assignee or sublessee.
15.12. Release. Whenever Landlord conveys its interest in the Phase and/or Building, Landlord shall be automatically released from the further performance of covenants on the part of Landlord herein contained, and from any and all further liability, obligations, costs and expenses, demands, causes of action, claims or judgments arising from or growing out of, or connected with this Lease after the effective date of said release. The effective date of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s release shall be the date the assignee executes an assumption agreement pursuant to which the assignee expressly agrees to assume all of Landlord’s obligations, duties, responsibilities and liabilities with respect to this Lease. If requested, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall execute a form of release and such other documentation as may be required to further effect the provisions of this Section 15.

Arbitration hearing(s) shall be conducted in Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ County California. Any relevant evidence, including hearsay, shall be admitted by the arbitrator if it is the sort of evidence upon which responsible persons are accustomed to rely in the conduct of serious affairs, regardless of the admissibility of such evidence in a court of law; however, the arbitrator shall apply California law relating to privileges and work product. In rendering his or her award, the arbitrator shall set forth the reasons for his or her decision. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be paid in the manner allocated by the arbitrator. This agreement to arbitrate any dispute concerning the findings of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s audit shall be specifically e nforceable under the prevailing arbitration law. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

If Tenant exercises its extension option for the First Extension Term, the Term shall be extended for an additional period of five (5) years on all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except (i) Tenant’s options to further extend the Term shall be reduced in number by one, (ii) Landlord shall

The Base Rent due during the First Extension Term shall be increased annually by the Average Annual Percentage (defined below), if any.
(b) Second Extension Term. If Tenant exercises its extension option for the Second Extension Term, the Term shall be extended for an additional period of five (5) years on all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except (i) Tenant shall have no further options to extend the Term of this Lease, (ii) Landlord shall not be required to pay to Tenant any tenant improvement allowance or inducement and (iii) the monthly Base Rent for the first year of the Second Extension Term shall be the greater of (A) the “Initial Fair Market Rent” prevailing at the commencement of the Second Extension Term or (B) the monthly Base Rent in effect at the end of the First Extension Term.

25.3 Determination of Fair Market Rent.
(a) Agreement on Rent. For the purposes of this Section, the “Initial Fair Market Rent” means the monthly base rent (i.e., rent other than operating expenses, taxes and insurance premiums), expected to prevail as of the commencement of an Extension Term for the first year of that Extension Term with respect to leases of office space within buildings located in the “ Designated Area” (defined as the Menlo Park and Palo Alto areas other than the Sand Hill Road area, Stanford Research Park and the Palo Alto central business district) of a quality and with interior improvements, parking, site amenities, building systems, location, identity and access all comparable to that of the Premises, for a term equal to the Extension Term. The term “Average Annual Percentage” shall mean the average annual percentage increase in the monthly base rent (i.e., rent other than operat ing expenses, taxes and insurance premiums) expected to prevail as of the commencement of that particular Extension Term with respect to leases of office space within buildings located in the Designated Area of a quality and with interior improvements, parking, site amenities, building systems, location, identity and access all comparable to that of the Premises, for a term equal to the Extension Term). Within fifteen (15) days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of Tenant’s Extension Notice, by written notice to Tenant (“Landlord’s Rent Notice”), Landlord shall advise Tenant as to Landlord’s determination of the Initial Fair Market Rent and Average Annual Percentage. If Tenant disagrees with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s determination, Tenant shall advise Landlord as to Tenant’s determination of Initial Fair Market Rent and Average Annual Percentage by written notice (“Tenant’s Rent Notice”) within fifteen (15) days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of Landlord’s Rent Notice. If ▇▇▇▇ nt fails to deliver Tenant’s Rent Notice to Tenant within the time period provided above, Tenant shall be bound by Landlord’s determination of the Initial Fair Market Rent and Average Annual Percentage as set forth in Landlord’s Rent Notice. If Tenant shall timely deliver to Landlord Tenant’s Rent Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to reach agreement as to the Initial Fair Market Rent and Average Annual Percentage within fifteen (15) days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’ s receipt of Tenant’s Rent Notice.
(b) Selection of Appraisers. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree as to the amount of the Initial Fair Market Rent and Average Annual Percentage within the aforementioned fifteen (15) day period as evidenced by a written amendment to this Lease executed by them, then, within ten (10)days after the expiration of the fifteen (15) day period, Landlord and Tenant shall each, at its sole cost and by giving notice to the other party, appoint a competent and disinterested real estate appraiser with membership in the Appraisal Institute and M.A.I. designation and with at least five (5) years’ full-time commercial appraisal experience in the Menlo Park and Palo Alto areas to determine the Initial Fair Market Rent and Average Annual Percentage. If either Landlord or Tenant does not appoint an appraiser within ten (10) days after the other party has given notice of the name of its appraiser, the single appraiser appointed shall be the sole appraiser and shall determine the Initial Fair Market Rent and Average Annual Percentage. If Landlord and Tenant as stated in this Section appoint two (2) appraisers, they shall attempt to select a third appraiser meeting the qualifications stated in this Section within ten (10) days. If they are unable to agree on the third appraiser, either Landlord or Tenant, by giving ten (10) days’ notice to the other party, can apply to the then president of the real estate board of the county in which the Building is located, or to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the county in which the Building is located, for the selection of a third
appraiser 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 appraiser and of paying the third appraiser’s fee. The third appraiser, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either Landlord or Tenant.
(c) Value Determined By Three (3) Appraisers. The appraisers shall determine the Initial Fair Market Rent and Average Annual Percentage by using the “Market Comparison Approach” with the relevant market being office buildings located in the Designated Area. Within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third appraiser, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s appraiser shall arrange for the simultaneous delivery to Landlord of written appraisals from each of the appraisers and the three (3) appraisals shall be added together and their total divided by three (3); the resulting quotients shall be the Initial Fair Market Rent and Average Annual Percentage. If, however, the low appraisal and/or the high appraisal of either the Initial Fair Market Rent or the Average Annual Percentage are/is more than ten percent (10%) lower and/or higher than the middle appraisal, the low appraisal and/or the high appraisa l shall be disregarded. If only one (1) appraisal is disregarded, the remaining two (2) appraisals shall be added together and their total divided by two (2); the resulting quotients shall be the Initial Fair Market Rent and Average Annual Percentage. If both the low appraisal and the high appraisal of either the Initial Fair Market Rent or the Average Annual Percentage are disregarded as stated in this Section, the middle appraisal shall be the Initial Fair Market Rent or Average Annual Percentage, as applicable.
25.4 Notice to Landlord and Tenant. After the monthly Base Rent for an Extension Term has been set, Landlord and Tenant immediately shall execute an amendment to the Lease stating the monthly Base Rent.

The general purpose office space shall include, but not be limited to, electrical distribution and mechanical systems in quantities compatible with (and similar to) other general office space within the Building as reasonably determined by Landlord. |

In such areas, Tenant shall remove the gypsum board ceiling and install a suspended ceiling system to match the adjacent ceiling system specified in the Modification Work Plans, and which ceiling system shall be installed with a uniform and level grid, as if all of such areas were finished with the ceiling system at the time of Tenant’s construction activities.
