B. Tenant intends to expand the Premises to include (i) the eighth (8th) floor of the 2101 Webster Building, consisting of 24,214 rentable square feet (the “8th Floor Expansion Space”), as shown on Exhibit A-1 attached hereto, and (ii) a portion of the seventh (7th) floor of the 2101 Webster Building known as Suite 750 consisting of 11,222 rentable square feet (the “7th Floor Expansion Space”), as shown on Exhibit A-2 attached hereto. The 7th Floor Expansion Space and the 8th Floor Expansion Space are collectively referred to herein as the “10th Amendment Expansion Space”.
C. Landlord has agreed to the foregoing expansion, subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows (capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given them in the Lease):
A G R E E M E N T
1. Incorporation of Recitals. Recitals A through C above are incorporated herein by reference.
2. Extension of Term. The Expiration Date of the Lease shall be extended such that the Lease shall terminate on September 30, 2020 (the “Second Extended Termination Date”). The period from October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2020 shall be known as the “Second Extended Term”. Except as modified by this Amendment, during the Second Extended Term Tenant shall lease the Premises on the terms and condition set forth in the Lease. For the first twelve (12) months of the Second Extended Term, Base Rent for the Existing Premises shall be $306,503.20 per month (based on $3.10 per rentable square foot of the Existing Premises per month). From October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019, Tenant shall pay $315,401.68 per month (based on $3.19 per rentable square foot of the Existing Premises per month) and from October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020, Tenant shall pay $325,288.88 (based on $3.29 per rentable square foot of the Existing Premises per month).
3. The Expanded Premises. Commencing upon delivery of the 10th Amendment Expansion Space to Tenant (the “Expansion Commencement Date”), and continuing until the Second Extended Termination Date (the “Expansion Space Term”), Landlord shall lease to Tenant, and Tenant shall lease from Landlord, the 10th Amendment Expansion Space in addition to the Existing Premises. The 10th Amendment Expansion Space has been measured in accordance with the Building Owners and Management Association Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings, ANSI Z65.1-1996, as modified by Landlord for purposes of the Buildings. Following the Expansion Commencement Date, all references in the Lease to the Premises shall refer to the Existing Premises and the 10th Amendment Expansion Space, and the Premises shall consist of a total of approximately 134,308 rentable square feet. The projected Expansion Commencement Date is October 1, 2014, provided that Landlord shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the 10th Amendment Expansion Space.
4. Monthly Base Rent for the Expansion Space. Commencing upon the earlier of: (a) the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after the expiration of the Buildout Period (as defined in Section 8), and (b) March 1, 2015 (the “Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date”), Tenant shall pay Base Rent for the 10th Amendment Expansion Space in the amount of $97,449 per month (based on $2.75 per rentable square foot per month). Thereafter, on each anniversary of the Expansion Commencement Date, Base Rent for the 10th Amendment Expansion Space shall be increased annually by 3% per annum throughout the Expansion Space Term.
5. Base Year; Tenant’s Proportionate Share for Expansion Space. Commencing on the Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date, as to the 10th Amendment Expansion Space, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of increases of Operating Costs over the calendar year 2015, which is 7.68% (as to the 10th Amendment Expansion Space only), based on 35,436/461,591 (as to the 2101 Webster Building), and 5.24% (as to the Buildings). Until October 1, 2018, Tenant shall continue to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of increases in Operating Costs as to the Existing Premises pursuant to the terms of the Lease. From and after October 1, 2018, the Base Year for the Existing Premises shall be the calendar year 2018.
6. Proposition 13 Protection. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Lease, in the event that, at any time, or from time to time, during the period commencing upon the Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date and ending upon the second (2nd)
anniversary of the Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date (the "Prop 13 Protection Period"), any sale or change in ownership of the Project is consummated (a "Triggering Event"), and as a result thereof, and to the extent that in connection therewith, the Taxes are increased (e.g., the Project is reassessed, such result being herein referred to as a "Reassessment") by the appropriate Governmental Authority pursuant to the terms of Proposition 13 (which was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June 1978 election) or any comparable successor statute, law, constitutional amendment or other governmental proclamation, then Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any portion of any Tax Increase attributable to any such Reassessment. For purposes of this Section 6, the term "Tax Increase" shall mean that portion of the Taxes, which is attributable solely to the Reassessment. Accordingly, the term Tax Increase shall not include any portion of the Taxes, which (i) is attributable to the assessed valuation (or in the absence of a Reassessment, the full market valuation) of the Project, including the assessed value (or full market value) of any work performed by Landlord or Tenant in or about the Project, (ii) is attributable to assessments which were pending immediately prior to the Reassessment and which are unrelated to the Triggering Event, which assessments were conducted during, and included in, such Reassessment, (iii) is attributable to the statutory annual inflationary increase of real estate taxes, (currently, two percent (2.0%) per annum), or (iv) is attributable to any Taxes incurred during the Base Year or assessed prior to the Reassessment without including any Proposition 8 reduction.
7. Proposition 8 Protection. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Lease, in the event that, at any time, or from time to time commencing upon the Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date and ending upon the third (3rd) anniversary of the Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date (the "Prop 8 Protection Period"), Landlord secures a reduction in Taxes pursuant to Section 51 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code (a “Prop 8 Reduction”), said Prop 8 Reduction shall be reflected in the Operating Expenses for the year in which the Prop 8 Reduction is realized by Landlord. At the end of the Prop 8 Protection Period, Taxes shall be calculated in accordance with Section 46.39 of the Lease (i.e., Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes shall be calculated without regard to this Section 7).
8. Condition of the 10th Amendment Expansion Space. Except for Landlord’s Work (as hereinafter defined), Tenant hereby agrees to accept the 10th Amendment Expansion Space in their "as-is, where is" condition and Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has no obligation to improve the 10th Amendment Expansion Space nor has Landlord made any representation or warranty regarding the condition of the 10th Amendment Expansion Space. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the earlier of (i) December 31, 2014; and (ii) the date that Landlord approves the Permit Drawings for the interior improvements that will be permanently affixed to the 10th Amendment Expansion Space (the “Expansion Space Improvements”), Landlord shall provide Tenant with a tenant improvement allowance (the "Expansion Allowance") in the amount of $1,771,800.00 (based on $50.00 per rentable square foot of the 10th Amendment Expansion Space), which shall be funded directly into an escrow account (“Expansion Escrow”) in Tenant’s name held by Commerce Escrow (Raul Zuniga) (the “Escrow Holder”). Funds in the Expansion Escrow shall be disbursed by Escrow Holder in accordance with the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C solely for costs directly relating to the design and construction of the Expansion Space Improvements. All costs associated with the Expansion Escrow shall be paid by Landlord in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Tenant shall submit preliminary plans and specifications (the “Preliminary Plans”) for the Expansion Space Improvements to Landlord by October 15, 2014 and shall thereafter diligently prosecute the
design and construction of the Expansion Space Improvements in accordance with the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B. The period commencing with the Expansion Space Commencement Date and ending upon Substantial Completion (as defined in Exhibit B) of the Expansion Space Improvements is hereinafter referred to as the “Buildout Period.” For supervising the Expansion Space Improvements, Tenant shall pay to Landlord or a designated affiliate of Landlord a construction supervision fee in the amount of $12,500, which fee may be deducted by Landlord from the Expansion Allowance. Any funds remaining in the Expansion Escrow as of the termination or expiration of the Lease shall be returned to Landlord. As part of the Expansion Space Improvements, Tenant may install a connecting stairwell between the 7th and 8th floors of the 2101 Webster Building. On or before November 15, 2014, Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense and without deduction from the Expansion Allowance, shall be responsible for removing the existing stairwell connecting the 6th and 7th floors of the 2101 Webster Building and capping the opening using Project standard materials and finishes (collectively, “Landlord’s Work”). Subject to any latent defects identified by Tenant within six (6) months following the Expansion Commencement Date, the commencement of any construction within the 10th Amendment Expansion Space by anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant shall be conclusive evidence that (a) Tenant accepts possession thereof; and (b) the 10th Amendment Expansion Space was in good and satisfactory condition. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease or Exhibit B. Landlord shall not be liable for any delay in completion of Landlord’s Work, provided, however, in the event that Landlord’s failure to timely complete Landlord’s Work causes a delay in construction of the Expansion Space Improvements Tenant may give notice to Landlord. If Landlord does not complete Landlord’s Work within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s notice, it shall constitute a Landlord Delay and the Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date shall be delayed one (1) day for each day of Landlord Delay until Landlord completes Landlord’s Work.
9. Condition of the Existing Premises. Subject to Landlord’s obligations under the Lease, Tenant shall continue to lease the Existing Premises in their "as-is, where is" condition and Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has no obligation to improve the Existing Premises nor has Landlord made any representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Existing Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the earlier of (i) December 31, 2014; and (ii) the date that Landlord approves the Permit Drawings for the interior improvements that will be permanently affixed to the Premises (the “Additional Improvements”), Landlord shall provide Tenant with a tenant improvement allowance (the "Additional Allowance") in the amount of $2,471,800.00 (based on $25.00 per rentable square foot of the Existing Premises), which shall be funded directly into an escrow account (“Additional Allowance Escrow”) in Tenant’s name held by Escrow Holder. Funds in the Additional Allowance Escrow shall be disbursed by Escrow Holder in accordance with the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C solely for costs directly relating to the design and construction of the Additional Improvements. All costs associated with the Additional Allowance Escrow shall be paid by Landlord in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Tenant may use the Additional Allowance to construct Additional Improvements in all or any portion of the Premises (including the 10th Amendment Expansion Space) and need not apply the Additional Allowance to the Premises in any particular percentages. Tenant shall prosecute the design and construction of the Additional Improvements in accordance with the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B. For supervising the Additional Improvements, Tenant shall pay to Landlord or a designated affiliate of Landlord a construction supervision fee in the amount of $12,500, which fee may be deducted by Landlord from the
Additional Allowance. Any funds remaining in the Additional Allowance Escrow as of the expiration or termination of the Lease shall be returned to Landlord.
10. Parking. Effective as of the Expansion Space Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Term, Tenant shall have the right to rent the additional following parking spaces: Up to thirty-five (35) unreserved parking passes in the Parking Structure at 2353 Webster, and up to four (4) unreserved parking passes in the Underground Parking Garage. Tenant's rental and use of such additional parking passes shall be in accordance with, and subject to, all provisions of the Lease including, without limitation, any increases in payment of the monthly parking rates as specified therein. Bicycle parking is available on the first deck of the 2353 Webster Parking Structure at no cost to Tenant. The parties acknowledge that Landlord currently operates a courtesy shuttle on non-holiday business days between the Parking Structure and the Building, and between the Building and the 19th Street BART Station between 3:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Tenant should direct any questions regarding such shuttle to the Buildings manager.
11. Option to Extend. Section 6 of the Ninth Amendment is hereby deleted in its entirety. Provided Tenant is not in Default of any term or condition of the Lease as of the date of exercise or the commencement of the applicable Renewal Term, Tenant shall have the option to renew the term of the Lease as to the entire Premises (as herein expanded) for two (2) additional five (5) year periods (each, a “Renewal Term”), on the same terms and conditions of the Lease, except that the Base Rent shall be adjusted to an amount equal to the then prevailing market rental rate for comparable leases for similar projects in Oakland’s Lake Merritt sub-market (but not less than the Base Rent in effect immediately prior to the commencement of the applicable Renewal Term). Such options shall be exercised (if at all) by Tenant giving irrevocable written notice to Landlord at least nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the Second Extended Term, or first Renewal Term, as the case may be. The option shall be personal to the currently named Tenant and any affiliate assignee.
The prevailing market rental rate shall be determined in the following manner:
Prevailing market rental rate shall be determined taking into account all relevant factors, including (to the extent relevant) number of months of free rent, if any (which shall be part of the determination of the rental rate), tenant improvement obligations, moving allowances, and leasing commissions and costs. The term “comparable leases” shall not include leases entered into under special circumstances affecting the economics of the tenancies, including following the exercise of options to lease space at other than then current prevailing market rate, the lease of awkward or unusually shaped space or space without windows or other usual amenities, leases entered into under conditions where the landlord was forced to lease the space by external legal, economic, or other pressures not generally applicable to the market, or the sublease of space by a sublandlord not primarily in the business of leasing space similar to the Premises. Prior to the date which is six (6) months before the expiration of the Second Extended Term or first Renewal Term, as the case may be, and assuming that Tenant has properly exercised its option to renew, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of Landlord's proposed prevailing market rental value for the Premises. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice within thirty (30) days thereafter as to whether or not Tenant agrees with Landlord's proposed prevailing market rental value. If Tenant disagrees with Landlord's proposed prevailing market rental value, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve their differences for a period of thirty (30) days. Upon the expiration of such thirty day period, if the parties are not in agreement as to such fair market rental value, then
either party may initiate appraisal to determine the fair market rental value by giving written notice to the other party, such notice containing the name of an independent real estate broker or a person with an MAI designation with at least ten (10) years of experience in leasing commercial office space in the Oakland Lake Merritt submarket area (a “Qualified Appraiser”) appointed by such initiating party. Within fifteen (15) days thereafter, the party receiving such notice shall appoint its own Qualified Appraiser and give written notice thereof to the initiating party. If the second Qualified Appraiser is not appointed within such fifteen day period, then the Qualified Appraiser selected by the initiating party shall determine the fair market rental value of the Premises, and such appraisal shall be binding upon the parties. If the second Qualified Appraiser is timely appointed, then the two Qualified Appraisers shall confer and attempt to agree on the prevailing market rental value. If the two Qualified Appraisers are unable to agree, but the higher appraisal is no more than five percent (5%) higher than the lower appraisal, then the prevailing market rental value shall be the average of the two appraisals. If the higher appraisal is more than five percent (5%) greater than the lower appraisal, the two Qualified Appraisers shall together, within ten (10) business days, select a third Qualified Appraiser who shall select one of the Qualified Appraisers determined prevailing market rental value, and that determination shall be the prevailing market rental value.
All appraisers shall be members of the MAI and shall have at least ten (10) years' experience appraising similar property in the Oakland Lake Merritt sub-market area. Each party shall bear the cost of the appraiser appointed by such party, and the parties shall share equally in the cost of the third appraiser, if appointed. If the two appraisers initially appointed are unable to agree on a third appraiser, then either party shall have the right to apply to the presiding judge of the Superior Court having jurisdiction over the Premises for the appointment of a third appraiser.
12. Contraction Right. Effective as of the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date (the “Contraction Space Termination Date”), Tenant shall have the one time right (the “Contraction Option”), to terminate the Lease with respect to one (1) floor or two (2) contiguous floors of the Premises designated by Tenant (such terminated portion of the Premises shall hereinafter be referred to as “Contraction Space”), specified by Tenant in a notice (the “Contraction Notice”) given to Landlord on or prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date. On or before the Contraction Space Termination Date, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount (the “Contraction Payment”) equal to (y) the proportionate share, attributable to the Contraction Space, of the then unamortized Expansion Allowance and/or Additional Allowance, as applicable, and any brokerage commissions paid by Landlord for such Contraction Space (which amounts shall be amortized on a straight line basis from the Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date through the Second Extended Termination Date), at an annual interest rate of 9% plus (z) the sum of three (3) months of Base Rent and recurrent Additional Rent payable for such Contraction Space, computed at the rates payable for Contraction Space as of the three (3) months following the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date. Upon the Contraction Space Termination Date, this Lease shall expire as if such date were the Expiration Date with respect to the Contraction Space. Effective on the later of (A) the Contraction Space Termination Date, or (B) the date Tenant surrenders possession of the Contraction Space to Landlord in the condition required by the Lease, (i) the Base Rent shall be decreased by the product of (w) the Base Rent per rentable square foot applicable to the Contraction Space and (x) the rentable square footage of the Contraction Space, and (ii) Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be reduced proportionately, measured on the basis provided in this Lease. At the request of either party, Landlord and Tenant
shall promptly execute an amendment to this Lease confirming the decreased rentable square footage of the Premises, the Base Rent, and Tenant’s Proportionate Share.
13. Signage. At no cost to Tenant, Landlord shall provide Buildings standard signage for the 10th Amendment Expansion Space, including 2101 Webster Building directory, elevator lobby and suite identification signage.
14. Landlord’s Recapture Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease, in the event of a proposed Transfer, Landlord shall have no right to recapture the portion of the Premises subject to the proposed Transfer. Section 7.8 of the Original Lease and all references in the Lease to said Section 7.8 are hereby deleted.
15. Landlord’s Right to Relocate the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease, Landlord shall have no right to relocate Tenant to other premises in the Project pursuant to Section 2.10 of the Original Lease. Section 2.10 of the Original Lease and all references in the Lease to said Section 2.10 are hereby deleted.
16. Holding Over. Section 16.3 of the Original Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following inserted in its place and stead:
“On the last day of the Term or any extension, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord in the condition and repair required hereunder to be maintained by Tenant, except for: (i) ordinary wear and tear; (ii) obsolescence; (iii) such conditions, damage or destruction as Landlord is required to repair or restore under this Lease, (iv) damage resulting from a casualty or condemnation at the Premises; (v) damage to the Premises for which Landlord has received compensation from an insurer or another third party; and (vi) any condition that existed prior to the Commencement Date. Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s property therefrom, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease. Tenant shall surrender to Landlord any and all keys, access cards, computer codes or any other items used to access the Premises. Provided that (A) Tenant is not in Default under the Lease beyond applicable cure periods, and (B) Tenant provides Landlord with written notice not less than thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant shall be permitted to remain in possession of the Premises for an additional period of forty-five (45) days beyond the scheduled expiration of the Lease Term, so long as for such forty-five (45) days Tenant continues to pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent then being paid by Tenant for the last month of the Term. If Tenant remains in possession on the forty-sixth (46th) day after the end of the Term hereof: (i) Tenant shall be deemed a tenant-at-sufferance; (ii) unless Landlord expressly agrees in writing otherwise, Tenant shall pay daily rent equal to 125% of the daily Base Rent last prevailing hereunder for the first thirty (30) days of the holdover and 150% of the daily Base Rent last prevailing hereunder for the remainder of the holdover; and (iii) there shall be no renewal or extension of this Lease by operation of law. The provisions of this Section 16.3 shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any re-entry rights of Landlord provided hereunder or by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Lease is terminated due to a Default by Tenant, the foregoing forty-five (45) day period shall not apply and holdover rent will begin immediately. In no event shall Tenant be liable for lost rents or other consequential damages incurred by Landlord on account of any holdover by Tenant
unless Tenant holds over for more than sixty (60) days after the expiration or termination of the Lease Term.”
17. Security. Landlord shall provide Project security, equipment, personnel, procedures and systems twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week, consistent with comparable buildings in the Lake Merritt district in Oakland. Notwithstanding the provision of such services, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord does not guarantee absolute security to Tenant or its employees. Landlord’s security currently includes security officers in the Project 24 hours per day, seven days per week, and a card-key system for access to the Premises during non-Business Hours.
18. Authority.
(a) Landlord hereby covenants, represents and warrants to Tenant that: (i) no third party consents or approvals are required, or Landlord has obtained all required consents or approvals (and such consents or approvals have been attached to this Amendment), in order for Landlord to enter into this Amendment; (ii) the execution, delivery and full performance of this Amendment by Landlord does not and shall not constitute a violation of any contract, agreement, mortgage, undertaking, judgment, law, decree, governmental or court or other restriction of any kind to which Landlord is a party or by which Landlord may be bound; (iii) Landlord is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization and has full power and authority to enter into this Amendment, to perform its obligations under this Amendment in accordance with its terms, and to transact business in the state in which the Premises are located; (iv) this Amendment does not violate the provisions of any instrument heretofore executed by and/or binding on Landlord, or affecting or encumbering the Premises.
(b) Tenant hereby covenants, represents and warrants to Landlord that: (i) no third party consents or approvals are required, or Tenant has obtained all required consents or approvals (and such consents or approvals have been attached to this Amendment), in order for Tenant to enter into this Amendment; (ii) the execution, delivery and full performance of this Amendment by Tenant does not and shall not constitute a violation of any contract, agreement, mortgage, undertaking, judgment, law, decree, governmental or court or other restriction of any kind to which Tenant is a party or by which Tenant may be bound; (iii) Tenant is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization and has full power and authority to enter into this Amendment, to perform its obligations under this Amendment in accordance with its terms, and to transact business in the state in which the Premises are located; (iv) this Amendment does not violate the provisions of any instrument heretofore executed by and/or binding on Tenant.
19. Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each warrant and represent to the other that other than CBRE and Colliers International (“Brokers”), it has not employed or dealt with any real estate broker or finder in connection with this Amendment, and that it knows of no real estate broker, agent or finder who is or might be entitled to a commission or fee in connection with this Amendment. Landlord and Tenant each agree to indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, and costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of any dealings with any real estate broker or agent other than Brokers occurring by, through, or under the indemnifying party in connection with this Amendment.
20. Status of Lease. Except as amended by this Amendment, the Lease remains unchanged, and, as amended by this Amendment, the Lease is in full force and effect.
21. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in several counterparts, each of which may be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Amendment. In addition, properly executed, authorized signatures may be transmitted via facsimile and upon receipt shall constitute an original signature.
22. Entire Agreement. There are no oral or written agreements or representations between the parties hereto affecting the Lease not contained in the Lease or this Amendment. The Lease, as amended, supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, representations, brochures, displays, projections, estimates, agreements, and understandings, if any, made by, to, or between Landlord and Tenant and their respective agents and employees with respect to the subject matter thereof, and none shall be used to interpret, construe, supplement or contradict the Lease, including any and all amendments thereto. The Lease, and all amendments thereto, shall be considered to be the only agreement between the parties hereto and their representatives and agents. To be effective and binding on Landlord and Tenant, any amendment, revision, change or modification to the provisions of the Lease must be in writing and executed by both parties.

1.3 Limitation on Tenant's Improvements. In no event shall the Improvements to be made by Tenant exceed the Project’s systems limits or capacities, including the limits applicable to plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and load bearing systems.
1.4 Plan Check. Upon Landlord's and Tenant's approval of the Permit Drawings, Tenant shall submit a final version thereof to the Building Services Division of the City of Oakland (“BSD”) for necessary plan checks and approvals. Any and all plan check corrections shall be promptly made by Tenant.
1.5 Change Orders. In the event Tenant desires to change any item of the Permit Drawings or the Preliminary Plans following approval by Landlord, Tenant, and BSD, then Tenant shall submit a change order detailing the desired change (the “Change Order Request”) to Landlord for Landlord's approval. Within three (3) business days after receipt of the Change Order Request from Tenant, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing if Landlord approves or disapproves the Change Order Request, which approval shall not be withheld unless a Design Problem exists. The latest Permit Drawings and Preliminary Plans (including changes thereto pursuant to an approved Change Order Request) as approved by Landlord are herein referred to as the “Approved Plans”.
1.6 Approval of Tenant's Contractors and Subcontractors. Prior to hiring any contractors or subcontractors, or entering into agreements with any of them, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord for Landlord's reasonable approval a list of the contractors and subcontractors Tenant proposes to hire to perform the Improvements. Landlord's approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. It shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold approval based on the proposed contractor's or subcontractor's inadequate financial status, reputation for poor quality work, inability or unwillingness to obtain performance or completion bonds or insurance, union/non-union status, or lack of experience with projects like the Project in Oakland, California, taking into account the desirability of maintaining harmonious labor relations in the Project. In
any event, Landlord shall have the right to designate the subcontractors to perform work which could reasonably affect the systems (or warranties concerning such systems) of the Project, including but not limited to the elevator (if any), roof, HVAC, fire/life safety, plumbing, exterior, foundation, and load bearing elements. Tenant is strongly encouraged to utilize responsible contractors as defined from time to time by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (“CalPERS”) in its Responsible Contractor Program Policy, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B-1.
1.8 Timely Performance. Tenant agrees to cause any plans, specifications, drawings, schedules and documents to be provided by it hereunder to be prepared promptly and in coordination with the activities of Landlord and its agents. Landlord agrees to timely perform its obligations hereunder. Time is of the essence.
1.9 Exculpation. Landlord's space planner and engineer are independent contractors. Landlord may introduce Tenant to Landlord's space planner as an accommodation to Tenant. Even if the Preliminary Plans, Permit Drawings, and any changes thereto are performed by Landlord's space planner and engineers, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant and/or Landlord's space planner and/or engineers by Landlord or employees or affiliates of Landlord or affiliates of Landlord's general partners, Landlord shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained therein.
1.10 Quality of Design and Construction. The Improvements shall be consistent with or better than Project standard improvements.
